LATESTEDITION DO NOT LIKE BEN. 5 Workingmen Say Butler Cannot Re- view Their Big Procession. - n Organizations Which Will Not Turn Out if the Massachusetts Statesman is to Look On—General Dissatisfac- tion Over the Invitations. By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch. New York, August 18.—At the meeting of the Central Labor Union yesterday, a resolution was passed that General Benjamin F. Butler be requested to review the parade and attend the picnic. Five different unions bad instructed their delegates to offer this resolution and support it. In connection with the invitation the following was adopted: That the invitation’ to General Benjamin F. Butler to review the parade and attend the picnic is not intended as an endorsement of him as a presi- dential candidate, or to compromise any member or union in this body on political issues, but simply as a personal compliment to him as a man and his gen- eral relations to the labor question, and especially in regard to his views on the political demands of the working classes. A prominent officer in the Amal Trades and Labor Union was seen last night a Post-Dispatcn correspondent. He was asked what effect the invitation to General Butler would haveon his union and he replied: “The amal ted Trade and Labor Union will not recog- nizefit inany way whatever. The Central Labor Union is an off shoot from the pony organization and: is controlled by a number of men who have before this made a for doing unseemly things at unseemly times. This invitation to Butler to review the parade of work- men is an insult to the men who toil for their living. He is in no sense a friend to the workin . Ican only say thatthe Won aired the views of the laboring men this morning when it printed the cartoon which showed Butler in his true light as a chattel up for sale or hire to the highest bidder. THE CARTOON also prophesied a result that I have long expected that Butler will be hoisted by his own petard ere long. The Amalgamated Trade and Labor Union would not, under anv consideration, take part as a body in the proposed parade. They are averse to the circus wagon and brass band mode of doing business in vogue with the Central Labor Union. This latter body, by the way, have, by that invita- tion, broken the back of the labor movement so far as its influence is concerned. By mviting Butler they flaunt in the face of the workingman a fact which will act asa red rag to a mad bull. Butler is a monopolist, unconscientious and unscrupulous, He has few virtues and many vices. He has never done anything for workingmen and he never will” THE PRINTERS PROTEST. Last night a meeting of union printers was held in Park Row. At it the chapels of the varieus union offices in the city were represented. It was decided to tae against the action of the Central Labor nion in inviting Butler to review the parade. Butler was — denounced as a man with no feelings of regard for workingmen. It was said that if the invitation is sent to Butler the — will take no part in the parade. The following preamble and resolutions were adopted: Whereas, The — Labor en of 4 arrogating to itse at superiority of wisdom, has Den proper to fnvite Benjamin F. Butler of Massachusetts to review the labor organizations on the demonstration of eo 1, seemingly with- out authority from the different bodies constituting union; Resolved, ‘That as Trade Unionists we protest against their action and denounce it as uncalled for and tending to give a political significance toa purely labor demonstration. The members of Typographical Union No. 6 open- ly denounced the course that had been pursued as wholly unwarranted and altogether inexpedient. An ex-president of the Union was outspoken in his denunciation of the action taken, remarking em- phaticaily: “Ill be d—d if I shall act as a tender for such ademagogue as Butler.“ A member of the Boycotting Committee, who is also a member of No. 6, met several of the Central Union delegates last night andin conversation learned that advantage was taken of the absence of a large number of dele- gates from the meeting of the Central Labor Union to pass the Butler resolution. It was also as- certained that a great many of the delegates, had they been present, would have voted against the resolution. There is great excitement in labor circles over the matter, and it Is believed that the opposition of the different unions will have the effect of compelling the organization to rescind its action taken. The subject was widely discussed and the act of the Central Union denounced in many trades meetings last night. It was algo learned that when the subject was under discussion before the central body, strong opposition was madeon the assage of the bill by the Progressive Cigarmakers’ Jnion, and that that body will take action in con- nection with the matter. Special meetings of other trades bodies will be called to-day to protest against the action taken by the central body. WILL NOT MARCH BEFORE BUTLER. A member of the Progressive Union of cigar mak- ers was seated with a number of his fellow-work- men last night. They were discussing the invita- tion, and he said that as yet the Union had taken no official] action in the matter. “Our Union is com- posed of cigar makers of all national creeds and political beliefs, and its objects are to benefit our trade. We agreed to join the great labor demon- stration to show the strength of the laboring classes and not our strength as political followers of any Presidential candidate, There are man Butler men among us, but our union will never turn out to parade before the eyes of Ben Butler and rum the chances of being called a Butler organization. Iam sure there will be a big kick in the Central Labor Union, and if the invitation is not revoked Iam forced to say we will stay at home. Blissert and his crowd do not run us by any means. if he wants to show his allegiance to Butler let him parade all by himself and not ring usin on false —— ape That's how we feel about it,” and his riends seemed to agree with him. After the meeting of the central body ROBERT BLISSERT was met by the indignant members, one of whom ftaidtohim: This is on a par with your dynamite talk when your people wanted to blow own the Brooklyn Bridge because, by accident, it was opened on the Queen's birthday, but workingmen are becoming educated, and neither you nor Mr. Butler can pull wool over our eyes.” KILLED IN AMBUSH. A Bloody Battle Between a Sheriff's Posse and Escaped Convicts, Lexinoton, Ky., August 18.—It was learned yes- terday that Alsop and Graves, the two convicts who escaped from the Frankfort Penitentiary, had been seen in Woodford County, comiug eastward. No- tice was sent throughout the country to watch for them. Later word came to this city that they had demanded dinner at Tom Muir's house, about seven miles from town. and had forced $4 from a man named Reaven in the neighborhood. A sheriff's was quickly made up and started out yester- | The Sheriff asked Stephen G. Sharp, the County Attorney, and George Cadwallader to join in the chase. Sharp and Cadwallader went down Walnut Hill Pike — a hemp field and Sharp galloped after — w within about sixty yards of them both at Alsop, who followed Graves across As Alsop ran, Sharp rested his gun on a fired. and hit Alsop in the left shoulder.

A NOVEL CONTEST. Fast Telegraph Operators Compete for a Prize. The Most Remarkable Time Ever Made Over the Wires—Prizes Distributed—The Result in Detail. By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch. New York, August 18.—A prize contest for fast telegraphic transmission took place yesterday in Western Union Telegraph Company's building that has been for weeks the leading subject of discussion among the operators throughout the country. Nothing of the kind has taken place since four years ago, and from the improvements made in the work inthe meantime great interest had been aroused among all members of the craft to see what could be done by New York's celebrated operators. The prizes were three in number; the first a gold medal, the second a silver medal and the third a decorated tel ph key. They were given by J. H. Bunnell & Co. of this city, and the conditions were that the Morse steel lever key should be the one used, The prizes were for clearness of character and 8 combined. The judgesof the contest were J. Dwight, night-force mw B Waycott, cable manager,and E. F. Howell, chief operator, all of the Western Union, The affair was in charge of Mr. F. Catlin, chief operator. At 11 o'clock, when the contest began, over one hundred leading operators and telegraph managers were present. Ona printed slip was THE WORK TO BE DONE. This consisted of 500 words, 15 periods and 4commas, in all 2,368 characters. The messages were sent on a local circuit, There were ten contestants, all of whom did remarkable work and at 1 o'clock the con- test was finished. Shortly a terwards the judges announced their decision, which was as follows: First prize, W. L. Waugh, superior“ work, each letter and character perfect. ime, 11 minutes 27 seconds: Second prize, W.

A Minnesota City Almost Swept Out of Ex- istence. Sr. Pact, Mixx., August 18.—The beautiful little city of Anoka, on the left bank of the Mississippi River, and not a hundred miles north of St. Paul, is a sad waste this morning, and the conflagration that visited it Saturday was not only the fourth but the most disastrous in ita history. It is on the St. Paul, Minneapolis and Manitoba Railroad, and has been built up principally by the efforts of Congressman W. D. Washburn, who had made the place a great lumber center, some of his saw mills there almost rivaling those of Minneapolis. The flames were started by incendiaries in the skating rink, and thence ran rapidly through the business center.

Among the but IT IS THERE. Jeff. Davia’ Portrait Among the Sec- retaries of War. - — — But His Name Was Chipped From a Bridge Pier by Secretary Stanton’s Order— The Trouble and Cost of Getting Up a National Picture Gallery. Spectal Correspondence of the Post- Dispatoh. Wasuineron, D. C., August 14 — A paragraph. is floating about in the newspapers just now to the ef- fect that some Georgia editor who visited the War Department recently went away very indignant be- cause the portrait of Jeff Davis was not to be found among those of the Secretaries of War which adorn the Department. Certainly he must have been af- flicted with very bad eyesight, for the portrait of Mr. Davis hangs in its proper place among those “large as life and twice as natural.” It hangs in the room of the private secretary to the Secretary of War, in its regular order, the portraits in the gal- lery being arranged with reference to the date of service of the Secretary whom they represent. The War Department prides itself on having, with one exception, the only full line of portraits of the vari- ous Secretaries who have pre sided over it from the beginning down to the present time. So the portrait of Mr. Davis is there. If the Georgia editor had had occasion, however, to ride up the Potomac afew miles above Washington he would have found something genuine to excite his ire in this regard. Cabin John Bridge“ is said to be the largest stone arch in the world. It was constructed by the War Department in Pierce's administration for the purpose of carrying across a deep chasm the large nine-foot water pipe which runs from Great Falls, fifteen miles above Washington, to the reser- voir. The bridge, which is 4W feet long, is a single stone arch. It was considered so important an en- gineering feat that it was thought proper to cut in it the names of the President, Secretary of War, engineer and others under whom it was con- structed. Mr. Davis being then Secretary of War, his name was cut inthe brown sandstone of which this huge arch is made. It is not there now, how- ever, but opposite the words “Secretary of War“ is a deep blank, showing that the name was cut out. The name, it is stated, was cut out by the order of the Secretary of War, Mr. Stanton,who was the head of the Department during the years in which Jeff Davis“ name was 80 unpopular north of Mason and Dixon's line. The deep incision made in the stone just where the let- ters of the name 4 7 were and beside the words “Secretary of War“ makes the name con- spicuous by its absence,” and this feature of this wonderful structure is a subject of remark by many Visiting it. THE PORTRAIT GALLERY inthe War Department, regarding which the com- laint above aliuded to was made, is the creation of m. M. Belknap, Secre of War under Grant from October 2, 1869, to rch 2, 1876. The pro- priety of adorning the walis of the department with the portraits of the Secretaries of War occurred to Mr. Belknap during the term of his period in office. He immediately set to work to gather these portraits. It requi a great deal of effort, how- ever, in eartiy days. Photographs were, of course, unknown, and to find portraits of the Secretaries of War seventy-five ears ago was ex- strenuous efforts, fora brief space ~ time has not been learned. The portrait of Henry Knox, the first Secretary of War, was done from a — 1. Stewart in Faneuil Hall, Boston, and is considered a very excellent one. The portrait of George Washington,Commander-in-Chief of the Army, is given a prominent place in the line and is painted by Huntington of New York from two portraits of Washington, one by Stewart, the other by Trumble. It is considered one of the best of Washington now in existence. The por trait of Jeff Davis, whose absence was mourned by the editor aforesaid, is of life size, evidently painted from a photo., and represents Davis asa man of 55, with iron-gray whiskers of medium length, standing collar, black tie, and biack broadcloth coat. The rtrait of John B. Floyd, who was Secretary of far during the period in which the secession con- spiracy was organized, was also in its position hanging in the room of the Secretary of War, occupy- ing a very comfortable corner, from which it can look down upon and supervise every action of the son of Abra Lincoln, whose election as ent was the signal for the event planned during Floyd's administration of that office. The face of Joseph Holt, who succeeded Floyd for a brief period, is aiso there. Winfleld Scott, who was Secretary, ad interim, from July 23, 1850,to August 15, of the same year, is there in the uniform of general of the army, U. 8. Grant, who was Secretary of War, ad interim, after the suspension of Stanton in 1867, until his reinstate- ment on January 14, 1868, is represented, his shoulder straps being those of the general of the army; so is Gen. Wm. Sherman. who was Secretary of War, ad interim, from September 9, 1869, to October 25, THE iner a shows some faces and names whose occupancy of that position had almost been forgotten. Geo. M. Robeson, Wm. T. Sherman, U. 8. Grant, B. F. Butler, John McClane of Ohio, and Peverdy Johnson are among those who held the position for atime. Johnson was made acting-Secretary on March 8. 1849, and on the same day George Craw- ford of Georgia became Secretary of War. Winfield Scott followed ad interim from July B. 1850, to August I5ofthat year. A. J. Dallas was acting- Secretary from March 14 to August 8, 1818. His portrait not having been placed in the list,a de- scendant of his who was here some time ago, on dis- covering this, caused a portrait of the Secretary to be pain and placed in its proper position. ost of the er departments have made efforts to gather the portraits of the men who have been their ive heads. The State Department has a portrait of every Secre of State from the be- ginning. These are most of them done in India ink, being, however, a half-dozen paintings of the most illustrious men, including Thomas Jefferson, Daniel Webster m At the Treasury are some twenty by leading artists of the country, running bac Alexander Hamilton, the first Secret of the Treasury, whose portrait was painted by Miss Ran- som from the original by Trumble. That of Richard Ruen, who was Secretary of the Treasu from March 7, 1825, to March 6, 1229, was painted by Miss Fassett, the well-known artist whose painting, The Electoral Commission,” has made her so much fame. Considerable money has been expended in this work of Sa faces of the various Cab- inet officers, a nu of the portraita in the Treasury Department, for instance, having cost $50u KILLED BY THE CORONER.

Working Away Preparing for the Opening ~The Signs and Platforms. This morning fully fifty exhibitors were in the building before 9 o'clock, and the floors have been pretty well covered with nervous and excitable in- dividuals, who flew around as though the great Procession and the opening event were to occur tonight. Take it easy, gentlemen,” said : Johnston, whom nothing can excite any more, you have all plenty of time and if you will only stop to count the days yet remaining, you will see that you will not only have plenty of time to arrange the main details of your @isplay, but also to put on all the finishing touches. Here are thirteen ays left in August and after those three in ber, and if they are not enough the ele- tric ligt will be put in all ready for use several nights before the openmg, so that you can crowd two or three more twelve-hour periods into doing you service.“ “There is a great mistake entertained by the public who have not been through the building thoroughly,’ continued the Secretary toa Post-Dispatcn reporter, “as to the progress the work is making. The presence of the 8 . — within the front entrances but still in sight of the passers by on the street strike the superficial observer as sure signs of bac«wardness, whereas, in fact, y to just the e naves work with the left to do but to arrange the minor details? Besides, there is any amount of rubbish the contractors will not use any more but which they are too busy to carry awa just yet, which is piled near the doors, and whic makes the building look as if it really were in the state of a month ago. The remark in the Post-Disparcu afew nights ago about the uniform size and color of the signs has reached the ear of exhibitor I guess and there have been innumerable inquiries as to the rea- son, etc., and some attempts will undoubtedly be be made to evade it; but I want the Posr-Disraron to announce again that there will be no exceptions made, and that every exbibitor{must conform tocthe order. It may seem a small matter to some, but in reality it is an original step of this management which will conduce probably more than auy other to make the entire lower floors not only a piace for the exhibition of goods, but also a “thing of beauty,” in which there will be not one unsightly feature. Not a single large sign, or a paper or canvas one will be allowed to be hung, and so I repeat that all exhibitors, before ordering their signs, should consult the office. where they can see a sampie There is one point that has not received the proper attention, and that is concerning the erection of platforms. Already, in spite of a very plain rule, have caught workmen sinking nails in the fine floor under the impression evidently that a ecyclone is going to visit the Exposicdon and wreck their platform unless they nail down in the firmest style. It must be under- stood that the platforins are to be only ten inches high and so placed that they can be removed at a moment's notice, almost.” ‘Why must they be moved at all?” “Well, here are $600,000 invested in this building, and it would be folly to think that the stockholders expect to get nothing out ot it except what flows from the Exposition proper. It will be used for varied purposes between expositions, and, no doubt, even if the management thought otherwise, the pop- ular sentiment of the city, which has been waiting for just such large hails as the building will give for entertainments which heretofore have never found accommodations even in this largecity. That is the reason we must insist on such a construction of tne platforms.”’ BELLEVILLE, Meeting of the Teachers’ Institute—Saloon Keepers’ Association—An Accident. The Teachers’ Institute of Southern Illinois con- vened in the Circuit Court room this morning, about sixty members being present. M. A.

INTERESTING LAND TRANSACTION, m Suit to Recover a Balance by Local Real Estate Agents. Oscar P. Hedges and Mathew O. Fife, real estate agents, doing business under the firm name of O. F. Hedges & Co., brought suit by Geo. D. Reynolds, their attorney, in the Circuit Court this morning, to recover a balance of $4,001 13, commissions alleged to be due them by Moses M. Broadwell and J. W. Sutherland. Plaintiffs allege that defendants, de- siring to obtain, for the Western Land and Cattle Company, lands in Texas, Washington and other counties of the State, arranged with plaintiffs to secure for them A. 00k acres there, on which they pay the plaintiffs the price of $1 50 per acre; that af- terwarda, about December 20, 1883, the agreement was changed so that, upon the delivery by plaintiffs to defendants of warranty deeds to the land in ques- tion in which the price should be placed at $2 25 per acre, which deeds should be made to such parties as defendants should designate, the defendants would pay the plaintiffs $1 50 an acre cash for the land. n accordance with this arrangement, plaintiffs al- leged they delivered to defendants a deed in accord ance with instructions made out by Joseph Degen- dorf to the Western Land and Cattle Company for 20,005 acres of land in Texas County for the nominal consideration of $2 25 per acre and demanded there- for the sum of $30,008 82 but only received $26,007 64, defendants promising to give them the balance, $4,001 18 in thirty days. This they failed to do, and | as ~ * still refuse to settle up the suit to compel them to do so was brought. BUSY BURGLARS. They Make a Successful Raid While the Victims Visit the Circus.

The Situation in the Court of A Contest. N Claims of the Different Candidates A Stub- born Fight Anticipated—The Prohi- bition Programme. The contest over the Appellate Judgeship nomt- nation monopolizes the attention of local politicians at present, and the friends of the candidates are putting in their best work among the delegates, and are making every effort to get a good showing in the Convention to-morrow. It would be hard to find a situation more complicated according to the representvtion of the workers. A comparison of the number of votes claimed for each one shows that the delegates to give each can- didate his share would have to be multiplied b two, at le and it is extremely difficult to get a ge 8 ike a fair estimate of the standing of the men. e situation has chauged considerab- ly in the last few days. All of the talk has been heretofore to the effect that the fight lay be- tween Russell and Taylor, but McDearmon is looming up asa strong possibility. Now the Rus- sell men claim that the fight lies between Russell and McDearmon, and the Tayjor men say it lies between Taylor and McDearmon. This shows a change of front on the part of the city candidates and a recognition of the fact that the country man isto be feared. It is pretty generally conceded that there is no chance of a nomination on the first ballot and the indications are that the fight will BE A STUBBORN ONE. It is asserted by some men who claim to be pretty well posted that none of the candidates will cet 2 votes on the first ballot. Russell's friends claim that he will come within a few votes of the nomination and will get it by aceessions from Valliant and McDearmon votes. On the other hand, the Taylor men say that neither Russell nor Valliant stand a ghost of a show and that Taylor wil! be nominated probably on the first ballot and surely on the second. Billy Zaggot who 18 taking care of Russell's interest concedes a few votes to McDearmon from the city and estimates Russell's strength at seven votes and Valliant’s at four votes with a certainty of his nomination on the second. Very little confidence, however, is placed by others in such an estimate as this. As near as can be ascertained, Russell and Taylor will go into the convention with nearly equal strength and with the advantage prob- ably on Taylor's side. Judge Valliant, it is thought, will command a light strength atthe beginning. He is thought to be pretty far in the rear in the preliminary skirmish. M’DEARMON HAS DEVELOPED more strength than was expected in the city, and owing to the bitter fight between the city men which is assuming throat-cut- ting proportions, he has the call among the on- lookers. His chances are thought to be as good, if not better, than any of the candidates. He has four- teen solid votes from the country which he can rely upon to stand by him. As to his city vote there is some difference of opinion, but as the op- tion concede him from five to eight votes and is friends confidently claim She has from twelve to fifteen, it that he will get a fair the city, enough with the country votes to puthim well up in the front, and as he is not mixed up in the city fight, it is claimed that in case of a dead lock and a break the votes of the city men will go to him in preference to any of the city opposition candidates. He has a number of active friends among the lawyers, and some influential politicians who are working for him with a will. The question of availability is being used by Me- Dearmon's friends with strong effect. It is claimed, and the statements of prominent Republicans are given as proof, that he will make large gains from the Republican vote in the country. It asserted that against any candi- date, county or = city, the Republicans can put up he will come into the city with not less than 2.500 majority. This counts pretty big in a doubtful election, and it is gaining allots for him among thoughtful delegates. His friends are very confident of success. Plenty of hard work will be done between this afternoon and to morrow, and it would be difficult to predict what the actual situation will be. THE PROHIBITION PROGRAMME. Gov. Charies P. Johnson left this morning for Se- dalia to attend the State Prohibition Convention. As he boarded the train at the depot he carried a small hand-bag, which he assured a reporter contained nothing more intoxicating than a linen collar and a pair of cuffs. “We only propose,” said he, to nominate for Governor and Lieutenant-Governor. We will not nominate for any other places on the State ticket.” Wat vote do you expect to poll?” : About 15,000, The nominations will help to com- plete the organization of the party, and if the Re- publicans will throw their vote with the Prohibition- ists they can beat Mr. Marmaduke.” Maj. Harrigan, who came up as this sentiment was uttered, looked upand as a well behaved smile wrinkled the gaunt governor's face he said: “Chariie I'm glad to see you laugh after talking that way. It removes my suspicions about your upper story.” “Have you finally decided not to accept the nomination for Governor?” “I have; I will not accept it.“ Political Notes. Governor B. Gratz Brown emphatically denies the statement published in a weekly paper that he had 7 ame to the St. John and Daniel cause. Ie says it is entirely incorrect. Taylor's friends were willing to bet late this after- noon, that he would be nominated on the second ballot, at the furthest, at the Court of Appeals Convention which will be held to-morrow morning. THE QUESTION SETTLED. The Merchants’ Exchange Directory Deter. mines Upon Wheat Grades. The question of wheat grades has been finally and definitely settled. At a meeting of the Exchange directory to-day the Wheat Inspection Committee submitted type samples for 1 and recommended them for adoption, the directory complying by accepting the standards fixed upon by the committee. The grades adopted are about the same as those of last year, and will probably allow the inspectors to pass more wheat as No. 2 than they have been doing of late. As a guide for the inspectors, a type am- ple, giving the minimum below which the inspectors could not go in grading wheat No. . has been made up by the commuttee.

A petition requesting a vote to be taken upon the question of holding a continuous session from 9:30 a.m. to 2 p. m. was considered by the directory. They determined to hold this continuous session, but to extend the hour for closing to 2:30 p. m. This will not go into effect, however, until it is learned whcther it will be acveptable to the trade. DR. GOODELL SINKING. The Sad Intelligence Conveyed ina Cable- gram Regarding a Popular Divine.

Western stern Union Sending Exchange Messages at Ten Words for a Nickel. _ — ——— A Beduction Which the Consolidated Com- panies Decline to Meet—A Telegraph- ico War Impending—Superinten- dent Zeublin of the Oppeosi- tion Lines Interviewed as to Their Future Policy. A ripple of excitement was caused in commercial and telegraphic circies this morning by the publica- tion on Change ofa notice by the Western Union Telegraph Company that theircharge on Exchange messages between this city and Chicago had been reduced to Scents for each message of ten words and 5 cents for cach additional ten words. Anticipating somewhat of an increased business, Manager Brown sent up two additional operators,which raised the force from six to eight men, and, as they were all kept busy from the yp mea be the close of the morning session, it was Clear that that Company's business on the floor had increased fully one-third over what it was pre- viously. The news of the cut soon reached the out- side world and the impression was very general that the threatened telegraph war between the Western Union and the recently consolidated companies had begun in earnest and that a genera! cut in rates all along the line might soon be announced. When a Post-Dispatca reporter asked Manager E. H. Brown, of the Western Union, how soon this might be loo for, he ; “We can't make icti of the line. every- one else knows—that the Exchange rate between the and Chicago has been reduced to five cents. If any further reductions are intended we have not been notified of them “Have the consolidated companies met the cut et?” “They hadn't done so when I left the Exchange about five months ago.“ The low rate SEEMED TO BE POPULAR - judging by the crowds around your Exchange Office?’ “It's too early as yet to judge the full impression which the cut will make. Our Exchange m told me that our business there was increased this morning, There are many firms which have exist- ing arrangements with their correspondents regard- ing telegraphing and they will not make a4 change until they have communicated with them by letter.“ “But I understand that the Western Union is los- 8822 on every one of these flve- cent messages. at’s the use of that?” Mr. Brown smiled 47 —. and bit off another beard- end by way of intimating that he did not care to enter into an exhaustive discussion of the finan- cial details of the transaction. At the Baltimore and Qhio office the reporter was having a pleasant chat with Manager Mulford on the subject of the latest phase of the cut-rate fleht. when he incidentally mentioned the fact that Mr. J. E. Zeublin. general superintendent of the con- solidated companies, was up stairs in the building The arrival of the entleman has deen anxiously looked for during the past two weeks, as it was known that, when he put in an ap- pearance, it would be with a view to effecting the union under one management, and in one office here of the three hitherto distinct loca! offices of the Bal- timore and Ohio, Postal and Bankers and Merchants’ Companies. The reporter sent up his card, and was readily granted an interview with the gentleman —7— with the guidance of the most formidable opposition which the Western Union I has ever had to contend with, Mr. Zeublin is a middle- aged gentieman of medium weight, though tall, be- ing of the somewhat, spate figure which often characterizes busmess men of the restless energy ty His face is long, oval and set-off with a — auburn beard. He is a rapid and very iutelligen ble talker and agreea , A STRIKING PECULIARITY of his conversational methods being the rare in which he combines an evident intention to dispose of business as rapidly as i- ble with an equally palpaple desire to do so without in any way infringing upon the rules of poljteness. “I am down here,“ he said to the reporter, “for the r of consolidating the three offices, I cannot tell you what appointments will be made, but I believe that by this evening the com- panies will all be under one roof.“ “Which roof? asked the reporter. “We shall move into the office of the Bankers’ and Merchants’ Company. The Postal Company's office is very neat, but we want more room than they have at their disposal there. The B. and M. have the whole building next door, so that we shall have lots of room there.“ “Do you think you will be able to worry the West- ern Union any?” „We shall be able to supply St. Louis with excellent telegraphic facilities. e shall have a district service, ticker service and telephone service.” „What will you do in the telephonic line?" “Enter into competition with the Bell Telephone. We have two telephones, either one of which is better than the Bell, and we shall provide you with good service of this kind before very long. We use the telephone at long distances, too, our experiments having shown fully che practicability of communi- cating by telephone between Chicago and New York. We are basing our efforts to secure a large business upon sup lying @ gilt-edge service. From St. Louis we shall — ree lines to Chicago, three to New York and also a Cincinnati and Baltimore connec- tion. Weshall soon have our two routes to New Or. leans completed. St. Louis will be the relay point for the entire service.” “What are your rates going to be?” As at present, 25 cents for ten words and 1 cent each additional word between important poy We expect to make the rate uniform eventually.“ “The Western Union reduced their Exchange rate between here and Chicago this morning. Will you meet the cut? “No, sir, we shall not. We are not going to run business at a loss. We do business wit AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT OBJECT in view. At the previous rate of 10 and 1, only 2 cents was left as a margin, and this would not pay for the delivery if the message had to be taken o tu 3 cents gain o gain the floor. The Western Union will lose 2 on every message they take at 5 cents. he nothing by thiscut. If they are doing it sympathy they are mistaken, as the record of the Western Union Company is two well known to suppose that any one will believe that they have decided to enter upon a swe thropic or eleemosynary career. Of course if they were to succeed in driving the a to make terms they would then immediately arrange their rates so as to force the public to pay back the loss entailed by the cut. “The Western Union claim that you cannot make money et your present rates? “If we can't make money at twenty-five cents what must they be doing at five cents?" But do you make money at the twenty-five cent rate? We do. We great advantages which en. able us to do so. We can put in du quadruplex and multiplex lines being interfered with by local offices.

The New York Herald is better acauainted than any other er wer the new position of affairs which Victor Bonaparte has created. It is quite well koriwn now that the information is correct which the Herald had at the end of January, to the effect that the 4,- 000f. which the son of Prince Napoleon had had resented him were subscri by a dozen mapartists called Victoriens. Even the names of the su could have been given, In Italy there are two versions in circulation as to the source whence came the 40,000f., absurd to be that might have been borrowed from the of Boo caccia. According to the first version, a lady, smitten with Prince Victor, had sold her dia- monds for a considerable sum in order to assure the Prince, her lover, an i . The second story is this:—I have told you already that the Duc d’Aoste had surprised his mis tress, en deshabille, in the company of Prince Victor. There was a violent scene between the uncle and the nephew.

A certain Marquise de C——, who has a profound antipathy forthe young man, makes some trouble between Prince Na- poleon and his son, so that one day the father says to the young man:— ‘Traveling forms the character of a youth; make a tour of America,” There isa ‘tful and formal refusal on the part of the ce, who will consent to go only to Italy. third act is laid in Italy.

Rules that are Strictly Observed in All Homes in England. London Correspondent San Franctsco Argonaut. Let me give a few rules of dress which are strictly observed by English gentlemen at home. In the first place, dress in England is divided into morning“ and “‘etening” dress, and each has a well-defined and understood meaning, aside from mere name. ' Mornin dress is that which is worn until dinner, an evening dress is that worn at dinner and after- ward, The dressing bell for dinner is the divid- ing line between the two. This rule as to dress is thoroughly well-known and strictly followed in polite society. To appear in evening dress or any — 4 to it—a white necktie or black trousers, for instance—in the mormng, or in morning dress, or any approach to it, in the evening, would bea breach of propriety suffi- ciently serious to make the person infringing the rule looked upon as of low originor eccen- tric ways. Good breeding and eccentricity, ex- cept in great people whose position in the world shuts one’s eyes to defects, can never go hand in hand. A well-bred man always dresses as he behaves—properly. Morning dress in the coun- try and in town differ considerably. n the country it isa jacket suit of tweed or serge dlittoes,“ as an entire suit of the same pattern and material is called. With thisa hard, round felt hat is always worn; a tall beaver hat never, On Sunday in the country it is different, When at church, to which every respectable man, let alone gentleman, goes at least once—a man should wear a dark cloth frock or morning coat buttoned, anda tall hat. After church, if he likes, he can change to a suit of dittoes again. However, the rule of a black coat and a tall hat at church in the country is not as absolutely fol- lowed as other rules, though a man is always on the safe side when he,follows it. In town, particularly during the season, a man can never appear in thestreet, in the club, or a morning concert, in other than a dark cloth frock or morning coat (buttoned), trousers of any color but black—light or dark gray or brown of any fashionable pattern being prefer- rable—anda tall hat. To wear a low-crowned round hat with «frock or morning coat would stamp aman \ #ctly. That this isa thing which should never be done is what I would es- vecially impress on American gentlemen, for t, as woll as that of wearing a tall hat witha jacket (or Sack, as it is called in America), is a bit which 1 have noticed they are much ad- dicted to. I know that there isa prevalent idea in Amer- ‘2a that Englishmen, in imitation of the Prince of Wales (whose reported custom in that re- spect I very much question), never wear gloves. I think 1 know something about it, and I say they do wear gloves at balis and in the street always. They don't, however, at dinner par- ties, nor do they sit when making a call, with their hands cramped in gloves two or three sizes too small for them. The popular laces used for basting in the neck and sle ves of dresses are the Valen- ciennes and Oriental. These are preferred to all others. Black stockings are more worn than any other color for both ladies and children. The are used with dresses of all colors and for all occasions. wu. A.

FORENOON SESSION, CLOSING ATI P. u. Wheat did not show any great weakness this morning, though nearly everything favored the bear side. If large arrivals, dull and weak cabies and depressing advices from the other speculative centres of this country should have given complete possession of the market to the bears, why then prices should have suffered a heavy decline, but, while easing off a fraction, there was not such ex- treme depression and declines as was expected: Markets elsewhere showed a great deal more of this than did St. Louis. During the early hours there were several attempts made to raid the market. Large amounts were offered for sale, but while the trade did not readily take care of these „blocks.“ yet there was a steady demand for moder- ate offerings. Shorts were buying. There was also fair long buying. Finally the market became right strong, a recovery in other markets giving more firmness to prices. The close was firm and fully above Saturday's close. August sold at 81 1-4 to 81 1-2, opening and closing at 813-8; September at — «Bape 8 to . at which last sale was made; Oc- tober at Sal opening off to 83 to 83 1-8 and up to 83 1-2, then fell back to 831-8, advanced to weakened to 833-8 and closed at 83 1-2; November at 8454 early up to 8 1-4 to 8 3-4 on noon call and back to 5 afterwards, closing at 81-5; year at 81 14 to 81 1-2, back to 5144 and up again to 81%, closing at 811-4, Decem- ber offe 86 7-8 bid, and for May 95 bid. Large re- 1 of sacked made sample offerings again heavy and the demand could nottake care of it all. The market started in dull, but the advance in grades put more life into buying and more strength into prices though there was little change for the better. Grades were a fraction higher and sold actively for shipment, ualities below No.2 being chiefly sought after. No. 2 red 81 1-8, 81 14 regular, 81 3-8 in E. and U.; No.3 red 73 to 73 7-8 this and 74 1-2 to 7434 E side; No. 4 66 1-8 to 6 7-8 this and 67 to 6644 E side; rejected 61 in St. and C.; No. 2 Mediterran- ean 80 1-2 bid for regular: No. 8 do 83 bid for St. L. Corn was firm most of tbe time. Between the two calls prices were worked off some, declines else- where giving bears an opportunity to force the mar- ket down; but it soon recovered and subsequently was strong, closing lc to ge higher than at close of Saturday. The strength displayed by cash helped advance prices, the corn being strengthened also by an improvement in other markets after their early decline. September sold at 48 1-4 to 48 5-8, opening at 4834, and closing with 48% bid; October at 464% to 465-8; November at “4 to 42; year at 37% early oi to 3744 and back to 37 7-8 later: May at 4034 down to 39344@39 7-8, and 40 ; in to 4; for August 4 bid. up Continued scarcity of No 2 mixed and rejected advanced them léc, as the order de- mand was urgent and in excess of the offerings. White-mixed grades were dull and lower to sell. No. 2 mixed 4834 to 4944 this side. 50 bid for E. side.

More would have been done than there was only for a lack of sellers. September and year sold at 24 3-4, which were the only trades. August offered at 25. bid 247 early and 2454 later; October at 2544 bid, 2 asked; November at 26, bid 2544; for May 23 84 bid Cash No. 2 was 44 to 34 lower in price, as the sup- ply on sale exceeded the moderate order demand and the few sales were at 2544 in A. and E. and 2514 for St. L.; but rejected was firm at 24 to 241-4 in St. L. and 24 1-4in A.; for no grade in U. 21% bid.

Grades of timothy below choice were dull, also, and weak for about the same reason, but choice and fancy were in local demand and firm.

Provisions—The Chicago market let down in price this morning, and this had a rather unfavorable ef- fect. The inquiry was good for meats, but buyers would not pay the late high prices, and sales were only to be made at concessions. Most holders were firm and slow to meet the decline. Pork showed no ry but was held and sold at $19 for old and $19 50 for new, but there was little inquiry for it. Prime steam lard brought 734.

POST-DISPATCH, N and 517 Market street, nn men] WHEN a party makes a scandalous nomina- tion it gives fair warning that it is preparing for a scandalous campaign. SS Tun Philo-Celtic Society of Philadelphia is preparing an address in Irish to be read to Archbishop Ryav on his arrival in that city. — Harper's Weekly is getting some first-class notices nowadays from the straight-out Repub- lican papers. My boy,” said an old man, “when you throw astone among a pack of dogs and heara yelp, you may know you've hit something. No hit, no yelp.” Tux Coroner of St. Joe, Missouri, has killed Hewrny Evans, a barber in the metropolis of Buchanan County, who had insulted the doo- tor’s father. It is not every man who can get the fees for an inquest and the satisfaction de- rived from an affront avenged at one and the same time. — Sñuʒ¶̃kñĩ ĩ—KxKxK1xurñç — Joun A. Lodax's son has been put under ar- rest at West Point for a shocking display of profanity. The young gentleman is probably exercising his hereditary gift so that he will be able to do credit to himself in the family con- cert which will occur on or about the third day ‘of November next. — Aw Surrn used to say that climate had more to do with morals than was generally sus- pected, and that if the average temperature of England were ten degrees warmer, Englishmen would probably have to abandon port wine and monogamy for sherbet and polygamy. Is this what's the matter with Utah and the Mor- mons, pa a Tae New York World has discovered a young man who kills rattlesnakes by permitting him- self to be bitten by the reptiles, thus poisoning them. Thus is the aureole of Truth, which the sweet influences and teachings of the Posrt- Disrarcen threw about her children being dis- sipated and dispersed by evil communications with New York journalists. — ee LOGAN ought to run strong among the gram- mar and dictionary-makers, for he has fur- nished these language-carpenters with more jobs than any other public man now living; and from his lately reported speeches has not yet satisfied his grudge against his mother tongue. JOHN drops a good many unkind and unclean stones into the well of English unde- filed.” Mansnat Joxxs of Chicago, one of the chief BLAINE and LOGAN managers, staked his repu- tation as a prophet that the Chicago News would be supporting the Republican nominees in thirty days from the 8th of July. The News rushes to the assistance of BLAINE with two solid pages of the Mulligan investigation in its last issue, accordingly. This is supporting the Maine man much as the old woman kept hotel —like Hades. — — — — — — — PROHIBITIONISTS in Kansas are holding County mass meetings and resolving that the Republican party rides well enough for them. It hascarried them so far and still ambles along so easily and gently under them, that they do not deem it advisable to swap horses while crossing the river. Per contra there is a minority in most of the Republican County meetings that will insist on popping up with a resolution condemning the existing prohibitory clause of the constitution as wrong in principle, non-effective in operation and pro- ductive of more harm than good.” But the \Prohibitionistes always out-vote the demand for resubmission, and then point with pride to the vote as a proof that the Republican organiza- tion belongs to them. — Tuy have carted off one Wellington monu- ment from Hyde Park, London, to the rural districta, and now it is said the other one—the Achilles—must be taken down for repairs, the bronge legs showing unmistakable signs of dis- integration and decay. This statue was erected to the Iron Duke by the Women of England,” and the female donors were amazed and dis- gusted to find, when too late, that they were re- sponsible for a colossal nude figure of the mas- culine gender in the heart of the British me- tropolis, At first it was proposed to furnish Achilies-Wellington with an apron, or short petticoat; but these additions in behalf of out- taged modesty were pronounced impracticable, and the monumental nudity has stood in its original shape until the present time. If, how- ever, it comes down for a new pair of legs, pos- sibly the primeval costume may be supplement ed by a fig leaf for sweet propricty's sake. Cn | Tue indications are that Van Bennett and Sr, Jonm will find it up-hill work to convince the Kamas Prohibitioniste that it is possible to organize a more radical and effective Prohibi- tion party than the Republican party is, or to elect a President who has done more than Ram has for Prohibition, Rev. Dr. Man vin, for ten years Chancellor of the Kan- sas Btate U ity, and now presiding over 2 tho Government's Indian schools at Lawrence, knows how the Republican party has stood by the Prohibitionists, pampering them with of- fice, patronage and power, and now he calls upon the Prohibitionists to stand by the Repub- lican party. Having been spoken of as a Pro- hibition candidate for Governor against the regular Republican nominee, he publishes a card in which he treats the proposed desertion of the Republican party by Prohibitioniste as black ingratitude and base treachery to the Prohibition cause. fa a a no THE EXPOSITION. September 3, 1884, will be a key date in the history of St, Louis—a day marked by the opening of the great Exposition, and by the ap- pearance upon the streets of the city of the most magnificent pageant ever seen in America. The occasion is one which none who can come to St. Louis should miss. The great Exposition Hall, upon which the finishing touches of the workmen are now being put, is in itself a beautiful and artistic pile,but its contents, when thrown open to the public, will be an education in themselves. The display will show the very highest mark which the tide of American civili- zation has reached, The conquests of Industry will be exhibited in a manner strongly suggestive of the triumphal pageants accorded to the victorious generals of old Rome. Here will be shown that Peace hath her victories no less renowned than war.” In place of the Ethiopian slaves chained to the chariots, will be those stronger slaves of civilization, steam and electricity the fettered Titans who do the work ofthe world. In place of the rich piles of Asiatic gold, and African gloths dyed with priceless purple, and the istic spoils of Greece, the loot plundered by Bhe strong hand from three conquered contitjénts, here will be gold and silver worked into curious form, here the product of the looms of Massachusetts and Afghanistan, here sculpture and painting, here steel in its thousand shapes, here, in a word, the treasures of the earth, not stolen by man from man, but wrested by the all-conquering arm of labor from the treasure-house of nature. The display will be a triumph, but an American one. It will teach the lesson that the Gospel of the Future is Industry. BUTLER. Among the grim humors of the Presidential campaign, Bey. BUTLER as the champion and candidate of the workingmen deserves the blue ribbon. Here isa man who does not now, and never did, belong to what are called the work- ing classes; who, since boyhood at least, has never done a day’s manual labor in his life; who has been for many years the possessor of an ample fortune, andof aprofession by which he could increase his wealth to any desired ex- tent: who lives in a fine house, wears fine clothes, drinks fine wines and eats fine dinners, keeps fine horses and a fine yacht; in short, is a gentleman of elegant leisure, with no more disposition to work thana negro witha dollar in his pocket and a watermelon patch at his disposal. There would be as much propriety in the nomination of Gen. SHERMAN by the Universal Peace Society, or ANHEUSER-BUSCH by the Prohibition party, as there is in the nomination of BuTLER by the workingmen. During the whole of along and active career, BUTLER has been true to but one principle, and that is—BuTizer. He is for himself, ‘‘first, last, and all the time,” and his championship of labor is simply the latest trick of a consummate demagogue who mistakes notoriety for fame, and had “rather reign in hell than serve in heaven.” ARCHBISHOP RYAN. This morning the Most Reverend P. J. RYan, Archbishop of Philadelphia, left St. Louis for his new home in the East. His departureis a loss not alone to the Catholic Church, but to the city and the State wherein he has lived so long. Gifted with eloquence of the very high- est order, a linguist, a scholar and a gentleman, Archbishop RYAN was an ornament to the creed which he so strongly upheld, and to the community which knew him, not alone as a brilliant preacher, but as a tender, brave and devoted follower of his Master. This Christian orator, whose fervent pleading for Christ has thralled and held spellbound audiences here, in Rome and in the capitals of Europe, is the same man who took his life in his hand, and spent his days and his nights in the small-pox hospitals of St. Louis, during the war, the con- soler of the dying, while others blenched from the danger. It was he that heard the last sigh from the poison-reeking lips of the pest-ridden. It was he, again, who simply said, when his friends sought to have him cease his perilous work, that his life was in the hands of God, and that he was willing to die doing God's work. His signal merits have been recognized by Rome, and he has been clothed with all the pomp and circumstance that befit a prince of the church, but beneath this purple is the same priest that wore the black. As Coadjutor Archbishop of St. Louis, he was as accessible to the poor and the unfortunate as when he was a priest. This isthe man that we have lost. Truly, it will be long before we see his like again. JACKSON'S DUEL. Speaking of the Jackson scandal, the New York Sun says: They were remarried at Nashville in January, 1704, and woe to the man who, on account of thar second ceremony, éver dared to cast any reflections upon the conduct of Mra. Jackson. For this offense her husband, while on the Supreme Bench of Ten- nesses, fought the Governor of the State (Sevier), and later slew Charies Dickinson in one of the most desperate duels of modern days. To the end of his life he kept his pistols in readiness to avenge any affront to her memory arising out of the circum- stances of his peculiar marriage. So far, at least, as the Dickinson duel is con- concerned, nothing of the sort was openly al- leged, In the correspondences and newspaper communications which preceded and followed the fatal affair, Mrs. Jackson's name is not mentioned, nor are the circumstances of the double marriage even remotely alluded to. “Rumor says” that Dickixsow bad more than ono, while under the influence of liquid stimu- lants, spoken indecently of the lady; that Jackson heard of it and warned him through a third party to be careful; that: the offence was repeated and a challenge result- ed. But the documentary evidence does not sustain this rumor; on the contrary, shows that the quarrel originated in a horse-race which was never run, but which involved cer- tain questions about the forfeit paid in such cases. The duel was really the culmination of the feud between the Jackson and Anti-Jackson cliques in Nashville; and Parton, a partial bi- ographer, thinks that Jackson was more to blame than Dickinson, if the documents are to be trusted. It would seem as if there must have been a deeper provocation than the horse- race matter, for Jackson never repented of his share in the bloody business. Long after he had joined the church, in fact during his last illness, a friend called to see him, and noticing an old pistol on the mantel, picked it up for ex- amination. . Jackson quietly remarked, ‘‘That is the pistol with which I killed Mr. Dickinson.” It was the wound received in this duel which Tue Rev. Ropert Nansen preached a sermon in St. Louis yesterday on the relation between athejsm and suicide, demonstrating by their oc- currence together that infidelity produced self- murder. Following his premises it would be as easy to prove that suicide produced atheism, but that is not the point at issue, That suicide when committed by one class of people is the resultof temporary insanity, but when by an- other it is the appalling consequence of error, is about the argument of Dr. NES. Of course this is nonsense, A long course of ob- servations upon the phenomena of suicide was published in Paris some years ago. The author collected carefully all of the attainable data on self-murder, and it would seem that Dr. Nerse has taken his figures from this book, but in- stead of correllating suicide and atheism the French physician joins suicide to the stomach. In numerous dissections a disordered digestive apparatus was found to be at work multiplying the burden of woe thatthe dead had laid down. The instances wherein a perfectly healthy man had taken his own life were sorare as to be fairly dismissable from the calculation. Which of the two theories is the more sciehtific is a question easy to answer. Senator BLA of New Hampshire has made a national reputation in the Senate as a rider of the prohibitory amendment hobby. We believe his whole time in the Senate has been devoted to the one idea of amending the Federal constitution so as to enlist the whole power of the Government with the army and navy in the suppression of the manufacture or sale of intoxicating beverages wherever floats the starry banner of the Republic. All his energies have been absorbed in liquor traffic reports and speeches, and for these efforts his desk in the Senate has been again and again decorated with flowers by the ladies of the total abstinence lobby at Washington. Yet this Prohibition enthusiast, the only one in the Senate who has the courage of his convictions, has declared for BLAINE, and prefers him to St. Joux as a promoter of the Prohibition cause. — Butler a Monopolist. From a Washington Special. The candidate of the Anti-Monopolist party is en- gaged in several monopolies himself, aud as Mr. Andrew Carnegie remarked, the gentleman seems violently opposed to all monopolies in which he is not directly interested.“ Among them is the Wash- ington Market Company, which is not only a monop- oly, but is frequently cheracterized as a swindling monopoly. Gen. Butler is a large stockholder, and the counsel of the company besides. The company obtained valuable franchises from Congress, and for them contracted to pay a certain sum yearly into the Treasury for the District of Columbia. For awhile the money was paid, and itis said that the monopoly being short of funds once, Gen. Butler ad- vanced his notes and they were covered into the } Treasury ascash. There is no way of proving this, as the books of the Treasury, of course, kept no record of it, and if it actually occurred Gen. Butler and everybody engaged in it would keep it an invi- olable secret, as they were guilty ofa felony. This definition of the act, if it actually was committed, is that of the late Judge Black. But, as an instance of the estimation in which Gen. Butler is held in Washington, it is mentioned as being current there and believed by many persons. The market com- pany soon ceased to pay ite annual debt to the Dis- trict, and the courts have been trying for years to make it either pay what it owes or give up ita char- ter, which is monopolistic to the last degree. Gen. Butler has appeared for the market company, and has succeeded in warding off either the fulfil- ment or the abandonment of its char- ter. The citizens’ desire is to break up the monopo- ly altogether, but, as an act of Congress is necessary to do so, and as the difficulties in the way of getting a bill through both Houses for the benefit of the District of Columbia are simply tremendous, Gen. Butler and his fellow-stockholder s continue to defy the protests of the citizens, Butler’s Dupes. From the New York Prening Post. Urging the workingman to vote for Butler this year is simply urging bim to make a foo! of himself. A large labor vote for Butier in three or four doubt- ful States would only send Blaine to the White House, and intrench there for four years more the very monopolists whom the labor reformers have been denouncing. Whata contempt for the intelli- gence of the American laborer, what a deep-seated and cynical disregard of decency is involved in the idea of advising him to vote for Butler to elect Blaine, He never did so ridiculous a thing before; why should he be sucha fool now? We do not be- lieve he will be. We will find out the truth about the Butler-Blaine “deal” before November, and will decline to be made a tool of: and Butler. once found out by him, will suffer the fate that is always hang ing by the merest thread above the head of any politician who, being devoid of conviction and prin- ciple himself, comes to think at last that politics“ is only the manipulation of a large body of fools by a smnall body of knaves, Better Stand Defeat. From the New York World, A gentleman at No. 15 Broad street, of this city, has received the following letter from Gov. Cleve landes private secretary, in answer to one written ou Saturday deprecating private slander as a political meana, and notifying the Governor of threats to publish statements charging immoralities in early life upon Mr. Blaine, and asking his aid, in the inter- est of public decency, to discountenance that kind of warfare. The threatened publication bav ing been made at Chicago on Sunday, the receiver bas sent the letter of Col. Lamont tothe press. It is as follows: 3 “ALaany, R. v. 12. “Dear Sin: In his absence from Albany it is due that I should say in answer to your letter that (ov.

The aforesaid package is at my office subject to your order,as I do not propose, as town committes or otherwise, to assist in political warfare so mean and contemptible. If, after the nomination of James G. Blaine, anything were wanting to diagust Massachu- setts Republicans who are not office-holders, office- seekers or blind partisans with the present methods, tendencies and leadership of the party, the detestable business in which your committee is now engaged should supply the want, If the “grand old party” cannot be saved from defeat without resorting to methods corrupting to the morals aswell as the politics of the country, the question whether it is worth saying is fully and completely answered, Ball’s Victim. From the New York Heraid. But let every considerate man and every sensitive, thoughtful woman picture the case of this Mag- daien relenflessly pursued in her effort to escape from her own frallties. She had gone away from the scene of a past life of shame, and seemed to have escaped from her degradation and to be living honestly and decently. But the Rev. Ball's story hunts her down. There is no present evil in ber life; she has repented probably and reformed cer- tainly; but a clergyman, a priest of Christian truth and charity and hope, hisses to the world a story of other days that finds her out, and drives ber in shame from her refuge and her peace. Here isa theme for the pulpits. Parsons haye preached the moral of purity of private life and preached it with political application; but let them preach this theory of the functions of the gospel hyena, Germany Invaded. From the New York World. A band of fifty-two pretty American girls are tramping about Germany with alpenstocks and hobnailed shoes, doing the Old World “up to the handle.“ Every few days we get a paragraphio intimation in German of their whereabouts, and it is evident that the worthy burghers of Prussia ro- gard them with mingled horror and delight as they enter a town singing “The Star-Spangled Banner” and otherwise convincing people that they are not a Salvation Army detachment. POLITICAL DRIFT. Joun Surru is running for Lieutenant-Governor in Illinois. Mr. Mawwnina, the Democratic Field Marshal in New York, is ill from overwork, it is said. Frank B. Saxnoxx, of fame as an abolitionist, de- clares that he shall not vote for Mr. Blaine. Tux Buffalo polecat has been retired by the Steve Elkins committee, and John L Davenport is now on deck. Mr. Henpricks intends to make his first speech in Indiana for this campaign, at Muncie, on Septem- ber 6. Ben Bout er’s campaign is to be full of surprises, he says. The carrying of a single State will be one surprise. Tas Blaine organs will shift that charge of canni- balism on to Grover Cleveland before agother week has passed, Ir is said that the American Political Alliance in- tends to nominate Grant for President and General John C. Fremont for Vice-President. Ir is strange that there is no scandal about St. John. That mustache of John Peter's must be very trying to the susceptibilities of the softer sex. Ir looks as if the trupes“ may have something to do in Iowa. Tarring a lawyer for enforoing the laws of the State is rather unusual, even in the wicked South. Ong of the laughable features of the campaign is the anxiety shown by Democrats in William Walter Phelps’ New Jersey district to run against him for Congress. Cuatrnman Coorer is confident that Blaine will have the largest majority in Pennsylvania ever given a Republican candidate for President in a contested year. Reports are received of a heavy disaffection from Blaine in Vermont, but it is recognized to be a State where Independent votes will not count for anything on an electoral ticket. Ir is reported that an attempt will be made by some of the lesser lights in Tammany to give John Kelly the grand bounce from the position at the head of that organization, Mr. A. L. Conazr, member of the National Re- publican Committee from Ohio, does not believe that the Republicans will gain any Congresamen in that State, with the possible exception of Butterworth, in Cincinnati. Tuere is a Logan scandal with a woman in it, and a Chicago dispatch says its publication is contem- plated. The Republican press is doing all it can to provoke the publication, but it is to be hoped that Its meanness will not have that result. Mr. WIA Dante, who is occasionally incident- ally mentioned in connection with Mr. 8t. John, re- marks that the Prohibition ticket is receiving a strong moral support, but that in addition to the moral a little money would be helpful. Sexator ALso of Iowa, speaking to an Inter- Ocean reporter in Chicago the other day, thus laid claims in behalf of the Republicans. Now. mark whatIsay. We shall gain the districts of Weller. Pusey and Cook, with Murphy's perhaps doubtful.” “Then Murphy will be lowa's sole Democratic repre- sentative?” “Yes.” Tux Cincinnati Commercial Gazette sounds a note of warning, if not alarm, to the Ohio Republicans, and in conclusion it says: “If Ohio should go Demo- cratic in October it would be a heavy, if not an im- possible, undertaking to rally the forces for the No- vember conflict in Ohio or outside of it.” MEN OF MARK.

As it is Mr. Gaylor has the proud distinction of being the only newspaper man who persists in marking the Bt. Louis club down tuo pegs.“ The Browne in Cincinnati. The St. Louis club bad its tide of success turned more certainly in Cincinnati on Saturday. It was a day of decided disaster, for the game resulted in dis- tress to McGinniss,who broke a tendon of his arm and had to retire in favor of Davis, and to Deasley who had his sore tingers very badly damaged, Dolan finishing the game. Fulmer went on at second base, but did very poorly and the demoralization was general. The St. Louis were defeated by a score of 14 to 8, making a very strong fight in the last part of the game, Yesterday the boys drew themselves together in shape and Foutz went in the box to Deasley's catch- ing, while Quest resumed his position at second base, St. Louis took the lead at the outset and never let go until the contest was finished. They batted Shallix for twelve hita, which, however, were offset —4 ten off Foutz. The fielding was in favor of Cin- cinnati, but the St. Louis’ superb base running won the game for them. The especial fea- tures were the heavy batting of Jones of Cincinnati, who made three hits —one three baguer and another a home run—Latham, Gleason and Comiskey's in- fielding, and Nicols’ great work at right field. The final score was 10 tos in favor of St. Louis. About 8,000 people witnessed the game. To-Morrow’s Game.

The series between these clubs was continuea at Union Park on Saturday, the visitors contributing another trophy to the repleted case of the St. Louis team by a score of tos. The game was uninterest- ‘ing, and was witnessed by a light attendance. Mes- terday the gathering numbered some 5.000 specta- tora, and they were treated to one of the best games ever played in this city. Eleven innings were re- quired to finish the affair and the pitching of Sweeney and Daily was one on the finest exhibitions ever seen in this c ty. Off Sweeney but four hits were made; off Daily but six, and while the battin at times was —— 1—. mand, there was plenty o rod. inflelding to stop run getting.

The sport was real good and those who enjoy good trotting and failed to be there missedatreat. The 2:40 class had six starters. It was a hard and driving race of three heats. Positions were changed rapidly and often, yet the horses kept together re- markably well clear tothe finish. To those familiar with them it was evident that Mulhall's Leon D. had it all hisown way,and he won in straight heats. Blue Boy took second and Blue Jim third prize. The pacing race had five starters, and was also a decidedly good race, the Kast St. Louis horse taking first handily, to the great satisfaction of the large delegation from Illi- nois City. The 3:00 race was a tame affair. This had only three starters, Capt, Bentiey’s fine chest- nut stallion Loafer having it all his own way, never being pushed. The club received quite a num- ber of donations to be trotted for probably next Saturday. Mr. E. Martin gave a fine suit of clothes, Mr. Cook a case of his best Imperial; John Biyhoid- er a handsome nickle-plated. newly patented bit, also a set of toe weights, Maud 8. Style, with steel shoes and prongs to suit; the firm of Hanson & Gooly an appropriate gift in the shape of a box of G. W. Allen's “Trotter Brand” of chewing tobacco. Several gentlemen also desir- ous of seeing a free for all, worth looking at, offered to donate $10 each towards a purseto be hung up next Saturday. The executive committee met to- day at 12 o'clock at the office of the treasurer, Mr. Ed Martin. Aquatic Notes. Hosmer and Teemer row an exhibition race for gate money on the 3d of September. Malcolm and Gastrick will row pair-oared for the Modoc Club and possibly double scull. The newly organized four of the Modoc Club is Taylor, Assman, Greene and Scobie. They are rowing in fine form. Time has not been fully decided upon for the Ross-Gaudaur race, but it will probably take place place the second week in September. Conley has not yet responded to Gaudaur's chal- lenge. The time is passing rapidiy and he should respond if he wants to make his boast good. The regatta which was to have taken place at White Bear Lake, August 22 and 23, has been aban- doned, the oarsmen not caring to goso fnr for small prizes. Gaudaur sent his entry to the McKeesport, Pa., regatta Friday. He will meet there Ross, Teemer, Conley, Hamm, McKay, Ten Eycke, Hosmer and Plaisted. There will be a race between the six oared-barges Guss Vane and John Endres. both belonging to the Modoc Club, the last Saturday afternoon in August, upon the river. It has been proposed that Teemerand Gaudaur row double scull against any two men in the world. Such a contest with Hanlan and Ross for opponents would be a great event. President F. W. pen went East last Friday evening to be absent a month. A delegation of Mo- docs saw him off and presented him with a large floral ship. He will visit all the boathouses about Boston to decide upon a plan for the new boathouse to be erected at Creve Coeur. Hosmer not being satisfied with his defeat by Gau- daur on July 4, desires another chance at our favor- ite, and his backers will probably arrange for a match race at Creve Cour, Hosmer having ex- pressed a desire to row on our beautful course. The St, Louis Rowing Club will give a grand pic- nic Sunday, August 21, at Bodeman's Grove. An attractive programme has been arranged, embracin athletic sports of every description; to conclude with a race between crews of the St. Louis and Western Rowing Clubs. Col. D. B. Gould is here on a visit from the north- ern lakes and shows the tail of a fifteen pound bass, as atrophy of his season's work. So far the Col. has purchased a single scull and threatens to row in the next regatta of the Modoc club of which he is a bright and shining light. J. A. St. John and Jacob Stumpf having bought and fitted up a boat house at the lake, invite the members of the Modoc Club to a house-warming Wednesday afternoon next. A half-mile race be- tween Stumpf and St. Johnand a mile exhibition by Gaudaur will be features of the event. The Building Committee of the new Modoc boat house have decided upon a location, and the plans are now being made. It is the intentionto make this house as near perfect in arrangement as possi- ble. Stock will be issued with shares at $50 each. Any shareholder will become a member of the club without an initiation fee and will be exempt from dues for one year. There is no doubt but what this will be a paying investment, as the club has a large membership and the desire to row on the lake is on the increase. * Turf, Field and Farm, says: Charles F. Court- may, a Union Springs, has made another bid for public favor by rowing a mile against time under watches heid by his intimnate friends and supporters. The effort was made on Irondequoit Bay, Rochester, N. T., on Friday the Sth inst, and is reported by our correspondent as follows: At 6:22 the start was made from a standstill. Be- fore the steamer (Capt. Waltzer), fairly got under way, Courtney had shot five or six boat lengths ahead, and notwithstanding the efforts of Capt. Waltzer to overhaul the sculier, it was impossible to do 80. At the start, Courtney rowed at thirty-one strokes to the minute, and at the half thirty. He dropped down to twenty-eight toward the finish. It was evident that he was rowing for all he was worth, and fast time wasto be made. Atthe drop ‘of the flag the time was announced as 5.11%. The an- nouncement was greeted with cheers. The distance rowed was questioned, but it was settied that it was a full mile to the satisfaction of those who interested themselves, it having frequently been measured on the ice. Professionals and many others will hardly be satisfied, however, until the course bas been officially measured. The water was very smooth, not withstanding the breeze, the latter helping Courtney immensely.” Courtney's time,5 min. 124 sec., is 454% sec, faster than Edward Hanian'’s best pudlic mile. We em- phasize the word public for the reason that the champion has the —y ng ! to keep to himeelf his rivate trials. When he hears how fast Courtney has rowed a mile in privete, Hanlan will chuckle to himself, for the f mile will, in ali probability, suggest to Courtney's friends to back him in a race net the champlon, and if there is one thing this side of Heaven Hanian aches for, it is the chanve to show the public just how far he can beat the Union Sprin sculler. Hanlan is a great oarsman ina race, but Courtney is a greater one in a private trial, We take the following from the Washington Sun day Herald: “Ugly rumors are afloatin regard to the action of F. J. Mumford in the senior single race. It is ali that he was accompanied to is city by a thick, heavy-set man with red, sandy hair and moustache who went around and offered even money that Mumford wouid be beaten in the single- scull race, while with some he offered odds to the same effect. Nobody knew him; but Callahan of the Elizaveth (ub made several bets with him, ana the light dawned on the Callahan when he saw the miserable failure Mumford made on the water.

Mr. Caylor has the proud distinction in being alone in sevens out the two St. Juis victories in Cincinnati in his footings up.

GONE AT LAST, Departure of Archbishop Ryan this Morn- ing—Yesterday’s Farewell Banquet. This morning Archbishop Ryan bade farewell to the city of his early labors and departed for his new home at Philadelphia. As the Vandalia train, carry- ing the distinguished divine pulled out from under the archway at the Union Depot the crowd gathered on the platform to witness the departure waved hats and handkerchiefs. The president's car of the Penn- sylvania road which was tendered to the Archbishop, and a special car provided by the Vandalia road for the accompanying committee of clergymen were attached to the regular morning train. Shortly before 8 o'clock the Archbishop and attendant clergymen arrived at the depot in carriages. On the platform a largo crowd assembled to take a last farewell. Among the old personal acquaintances of the Arch- bishop who called to bid him good-bye, were Doctor Thomas O'Reilly, Chief of Police Harrigan, Messrs. M. J. Murphy, John Shields, Henry I. Spaunhorst, Frank J. Donavan and Joseph Imbs. The Arch- bishop boarded the train a few minutes before the departure, accompanied by Father Elcock, director of the Cathedral of Philadelphia; Father Kiernan, president of the seminary; Father Brennan, secre- tary of the diocese, and a committee of home priests composed of Fathers Phelan, Smith, Butler, Brant- ner, O Leary. Gleason, Tallon, Harty,Fenlon,Tobyn, OReilly and Gallagher. A committee from the community of the Christian Brothers’ College, at Cote Brilliante was also present. During the few moments that remained the Arch- bishop stood on the platform of the car shaking hands. Each of his many friends, anxious to enjoy the individual attention of his Grace, mounted the platform, and, exchanging a farewell or expressing a wish of a pleasant journey and a happy future, took his leave ffom the opposite side af the car. An old gentleman obtained the Archbishop's ear and held him a close listener for some moments, un- conscious of the fact that he was the observed of all observers. When about to leave the Archbishop pleasantly extended his hand, which the old man grasped heartily, and, imprinting a kiss on the Episcopal ring, descended the steps with t agitation and, bearing heavily on his cane, picked his way through the throng. “I am sorry to leave my many warm- hearted friends in St. Louis and I shall — re- member them in my new residence,“ said Archbishop Ryan finally. But a few moments’ time elapse be. tween the arrival of the om ye at the depot and the departure of the train and all formalities were dispensed with. As the train pulled out every gen- tleman on the platform lifted his hat while the ladies waved their handkerchiefs. The Archbishop stood in the door of the car surrounded by the clergymen. He smiled pleasantly on the gathering, but an unmistakable evidence of the sadness the mo- ment brought him was reflected in his pleasant open countenance. He lifted his silk hat and waved it to- ward the crowd as the train rolled out of the depot and dived into the tunnel. FAREWELL BANQUET TO ARCHBISHOP RYAN. The farewell reception and banquet to Archbishop Ryan by the priests of the St. Louis diocese, came off yesterday afternoon in the library of St. John's Church, which was beautifully decorated for the occasion, The reception began at 6 o'clock, when about — | clergymen of St. Louis and vicinity and delegates from Philadelphia were present. At the banquet Father Tobin presided, having on his right Archbishop Ryan and Father Elcock and Rev. Dr. Kiernan, of Philadelphia, and on his left Bishop O'Connor and Father Brennan, of Philadelphia, and Father Keilty, of St. Louis. The last named read the address, to which the departing Archbishop made a feeling response. Other speeches were made by Bishop O'Connor, Fathers Heary, Smith, Ziegler, Phelan, Gotter and O Reilly. after which | Archbishop Ryan left to pay his respects to Arch- bishop Keweick on the occasion of the latter's birth- day.

New Or.eans, August 18.—The Times-Democrat's New Iberia special says new warrants were issued Saturday evening to Sheriff Veazy for the arrest of ex-Sheriff Viator and Deputy Clerk Etie, who are in custody at Odd-Fellows’ Hall, under guard by militia. The sheriff read the warrants to the pris- oners and fixed Viator's bond at $5,000 and Etie’s at $1,000. They were given till 6 p. m. to furnish the bonds, bnt failed to do so. A few minutes after 6 o'clock the military forces here formed in front of Odd-Fellows’ Hall. The prisoners, with Armelin, the ex-jailor, were brought out and delivered to Sheriff Veazy. The escort formed on Main street and marched to the jail, where the prisoners were |} locked up. The jail was then surrounded by the militia and guards placed on the corner of the streets. No one was permitted to go through with- out a pass.

An Opinion Formed by Five Years Observation and Experience, A Talk With the Superintendent of Con- struction of the Mexican Central Rall read— Mexican Civilization—Law and Order—Government Op pression — Robbery and Outrage— The Pewer of the Church. Ex-Gov. M. T. Anthony has been stopping a few days at the Southern Hotel. There are probably few men who are more competent to speak on the condition of Mexico than the ex Governor. He bas been in Mexico for the past five years, engaged in railroad construction and as superin- tendent of construction of the Mexican Central has been brought into the closest contact, not only with the but with the authorities of country. He is a man of keen e and of sound judgment. and the uncertain and mixed accounts of the prospect fur Americans and American enterprises in the Sister Republic, his opinion is of great value. ln answer to a question about Kansas politics ex- Gov. Anthony laughed aad replied: “The Prohibition ticket will not vote on the National ticket. because I know the Kansans well — — know that they will not desert the Republican et in a National election ‘though what effect it may have on the local elections would be hard to say. However, as | have been pretty continuously in Mexico for the past five years, I could tell you more about Mexico politi slippery as the subject is, than Kansas politics.” MEXIOO CIVILISATION. The ex-Governor said he would much not to be interviewed, but being on subject of the unsettied condition of Mexico, he said: “Perhaps I am treading on rous grounds, but | must say that | believe most tus trouble is caused by vagabond Americans who have gone into that country to better their condition, I had much the same impression about Mexico and the Mexicans that seems to be heid by the people up this way and that is given by the American p ut my experi- ence and observation have totally changed it. One cause of this impression is that the worst men tend to the borders, where they can escape punishment by stepping easily from one country to the other. ence our term ‘greasers’ for the Mexicans who come over into the border States, and they have aterm of the same significance for the same kind of Ameficans in Mexico; they call them ‘grin- oes.’ To understand the exact condition of Mexico it is necessary to understand their civilization. There never were two civilizations more tand different than the American and the Mexican. Here we have a weak Government and a strong, intelligent people. The Government is the —_ of the people. In Mexico the people are weak and ignorant,with the greatest respect for authority, and hence the Government, although nominally a republic, is strong and utal in character. ‘There is no country in which there is more absolute respect and obedience paid to authority. This is the very thing, eantradictory as it may seem, that makes rev- olution possible. When a man high in authority orders the mass of people to do a certain thing, they regard him as the embodiment ot the law and au- thurity by virtue of his high position and are willing to do whatever he says.” LAW AND ORDER IN MEXICO, From this peculiarity inthe system of govern- ment the Mexicans are the most law-abiding people lever saw. They yield implicit obedience to the constituted authority. this system extends through all the institutions of the country. Hacienda is the term used for large estates. They are villages in which the pro lef man is patriarch, who is looked up to and reverenced by all of his de ents. In the family the authority of the father is never lost, no matter how old his children may become. He is always at liberty to beat them, and they pay absolute respect and obedience to the parental authority. They are respectful to authority under ali circumstances, and from this it follows that it would be almost impossible to where law and authority, ever shape it comes, commands more respect. “I am not speaking from hearsay but from actual experience and whereof I know, when I say they are peacabie law-abiding, hospitable and easy to get along with. I had to organize the construction force of the Mexican Central railroad and I had to over- see the work through a country strange and new, where Americans nad scarc ever been. I had under meas many as 3,000 men, at least one half of whom were Mexicans and the other a mixture of all nationalities. My orders were that all were to be treated alike. It will create 8e in this country to know that during all the time that this force was at work there were no m no quarrels, and no disturbance of sufficient conse- quence to require authority to put it down. The Mexicans were quiet, friendly, and just the opposite of quarrelsome, treacherous, or inclined to crime, thievery and bloodshed. I will go through Mexico with valuable property on me with perfect security. With two or three companions and with horses I ve gone into villages and into solitary adobes with perfect confi- dence,and so far from being molested have been treated with the utmost courtesy and consideration, and have been extended ali the help they were ca- pabie of giving. I superintended the construction of a railroad through some of our own territories and I must say that the comparison is heavily in favor of Mexico. In the territories we had trou- ble constantly, and we never thought of leaving our mules or valuabies without a guard. I know that what I say will be received with incredulity, but in Mexico we turned our mules loose, never ught of iarding them and never lost one by the Mexicans. he only men and mules I ever lost were lost through a raid of murderous Apaches driven over from the States," ROBBERIES AND OUTRAGES. Ex-Governor Anthony was asked about the reported outrages on train men ond 2 passing through the republic, to which he repiied: Yes. there have been such outrages, but they take place chiefly in one part of Mexico. There are train robberies in the United States and yet we re- pel the charge that on that account we asa people are lawless and barbarous. There is one of Mexico that I should feel — about going Thi 6 cent part, al It is wild and unsettled, there is u rufllanly element in there which is given to crime of all kinds. This is easily explained. The army in Mexico is largely made up of convicts who are compelled to render military service in- stead of working, as with us. In consequence the army is filied with reckless and lawless men, who frequently desert, and these deserters go into the Nazas Valley, where they secrete them- selves and commit robberies and depredations. Military protection is needed there, and sometimes the soldiers are sent there to clean the robbers out and make new levies. I dislike toreflect on any class of men and especially as honorable one as the newspaper fraternity, but I must say that much of the false impression about Mexico is created by un- reliable correspondents who, in their anxiety to send sensational news to their j and misrepresent what news they get make mountains out of molehilis.™ GOVERNMENT OPPRESSION, After giving several illustrations of this in his own experience, the ex-Governor denied emphati- cally that there was any inclination on the part of the Government to gouge enterprises which it had encouraged by privileges. He said he had received the greatest encouragement and f ness from the people apd Government. The people are ve or and the Government . poor an struggling and — money, and rence Many Of its acts appear ve, are change th the Nazas ben oppressive, to an impoverished people. too, considerable uneasiness over the rulers.

Dark Abyssinian Beanties—Wives and Oda- lisques—Formalities of Divorce, Constantinople Cor. af the San Francisco Chronicle. Whether he will or not, the Turk is obliged to blush on account of his women. y years ago, when he first came to E , the matter was somewhat different. Then his stature was mall, his hair black and his complexion so yel-: low that you could not ha ve got a blush out of it with anair-pump. But he was a good judge of women from the first. He had thumbed many a fair Circassian in the Asiatic slave maris and coveted her with longing eyes; but in that section for most pope the quotations had been most too — — the Bosphorus tallies off 1 ity Boy ta 1 2 off in quality. rom a luxury they came a necessity and as a necessity they became at length a moving factor in the nation. They worked Turk over, s Ww open, and to judge from the resul they found few of his original charac- teristics that were worth — * They braced him up in stature and padded him out in flesh. They lightened the shadow on his hair and eyes and physicked his complexion till it was as clear as an American girl Today he has the white skin, blue veins and ruddy flush of the Circassian, and Mohammed himseif would have difficulty in distinguishing a large Class of the faithful from the lishmen with Who they are in contact. ut aside from this view the Turk has no more reason to blush for his women than France, Italy, Germany or even England, have to blush for theirs. he Turkish women are lower in the scale of social and mental cultivation than their fair sisters of other nations; but their status as com with that of Turkish mén is as good, if not bet- ter, than that of their more cultivated sisters, when compared with the males of their own country. HENPECKED HUSBANDS. To tell the truth, the Turk is as badly hen- pecked as could well be imagined. The good old days when he could quietly ome a re- fractory wife, and drop her in the phorus to be buried at the State's expense, away a quarter of a ceutury ago under the Eu- ropean spasm of virtue that established the „Joint control.” Since then he has been too dejected to assert his power, and as a result the women do very much as they please. They stay in or go out, ramble about the thorough- fares alone, ride in the horse-cars or the caiques, gossip, study, read, and frequent the baths as much as if the had no lords or masters at all. But in point of fact there always has been a radox in therules of conduct laid down or Turkish women. The forced covering of their faces in the streets and the strict- ness of the lines of social intercourse throws a mystery around their treatment that has had — 141 with making it seem severe. But on the other band. there is probably no nation in the world where the woman is so jealously died in her rights of life and pro erty and liberally protected against her husband as in Turkey. It is considered quite the thing fora jealous Turk to go down to the old pier at Ser- aglio point and ruminate on his condition after the Marius-Carthage fashion. He doesn’t ex- t to better his state thereby any more than restore the half-submerged masonry to its original condition, but it is quieter there than it is at home and he gets a melancholy satisfac- tion in the recollection of the number of faith- less spouses who have met their punishment from its edge. TURKISH FIDELITY. It may be that the women of those days were more fickle. It may be that civilization and the course of time have made constancy and virtue more of hereditary traits in the female Turk. Be that as it may, there is less infidelity today in Turkey than any other nation of Europe. Thecyprian class is smaller, and 1 never heard of anillegitimate child. I havea suspicion, however, that this fact is due, not so much to a regard for the proprietiesas to the easiness with which marital ties may be con- tracted and broken. The divorce laws of Tur- key would make an Indiana lawyer weep for oy. Incompatability and mental suffering are horoughly legitimate grounds for complaint. The plaintiff has only to apply to the Cadi, and he is obliged to hear the case. No witness need be produced. Defendant and plaintiff give individual testimony, andthe Cadi pro- nounces judgment n favor of the one that he thinks has lied the least. The law favors the women, however, and they are the ones who commonly bring complaint. A man is obliged to support his divorced wife until she marries again, and this system of “taxation without representation,” as it were, does more to insure a wife's support and safety from abuse thanany direct law could do. In cases of geduction the woman can make appli- catics.to the Vizier, and if the seducer have not already his full complement of wives, he will be obliged to take the complainant toward making up that number, and she will have all the rights and privileges of amore convention- ally selected spouse. But if his legitimate quiver is full, then she becomes his concubine, and without marital privilege is still entitled to support. It is a queer system—this way of al- lotting wives. . FOUR LEGAL WIVES. By the Koran every Mussulman is entitled to four hanoums, or wives proper, and no more. Why this icular number was fixed on by Mohammed is not directly in evidence, but tradition has it that the Prophet's fourth wife had a mind of her own and gave him to under- stand that she would make him a very lively vision if he ventured to dream about a fifth. The old gentleman discreetly announced a rev- elation in ‘ccordance with these views and no Mussulman s ever had more than four wives to this day. ut as no limitation is put on the number of odalisques he may have, and as these concubines have no particular status in the home beside that of “cohabitants,” I have a suspicion that the whole ar- rangement is the device of some shrewd old Turk, who saw how it would be if more than four women were to be kept in the etceteras necessary to the dignity and station of hanoums, The Sultan is the only man who is not bound by this rule. Every year on his birthday he is presented with u new wife—a sort of annual reminder, as it were, of the vanity of the position. Most men are flurried at the prospect of 8 once, but the Sul- tan never loses his head. It is the courtiers who are fluttered on such occasions; for, hav- ing had a private view of the proffered Sultana, the Sultan passes Judgment on her availability. If she is an old girl or a class of article of which be already has a number, the probabilities are that he will decide that she is not available. And as in this case she is bestowed asa gift on such a one of the courtiers as the Sultan chooses to pick out, and as the courtier generally doesn’t want her any more than the Sultan d yet has no revourse but to take her if she is offered, it is no wonder that they feel more on in the matter than the primitive -elect. THE BEST POINT OF VIEW. Since they have commenced leaving their faces uncovered the most picturesque view of the Turkish women is from behind. They still wear the veil. but so loosely that the face can for the most part be seen. From the back, however, there is nothing visible but the white head dre and the graceful folds of the shape- less feredje, which envelopes them to the knees. It is a vantage point, because it leaves a 0 for poetic i But it would ea Walt Whitman of any poet to have to stand in front of one and write a poem about her now, A good many standards come to be such because the people establishing them have never known Apne better.

BLACK BEAUTIES. If I were to have my choice of the whole in- voice, I should take an Abyssinian brunette, They are divinely tall and slender and black as the ace of spades. The features are clearly cut and , the eyes liquid and lips red and full. hair is black and waving, but some- what coarse in fiber. They dress in pure white, and the black face and red lips against the white setting of the burnous give an effect that is as enchanti as a picture. The only fault they have about them is their limbs. Now if any lady’s limbs may appear with propriety in literature, it isthe legs of a Turk lady. Turkish modesty never goes farther than the knees. Both the trousers and feredje stop at that point, and with the majority of women the limbs and feet go bare, On fete days those who are able sport gaily colored hose and pointed slippers of red or yellow leather, walking on wooden pattensto keepthem out of the filth. But the Abyssinian women seem to prefer go- ing barefoot, and thus betray the one peculiar- ity that stamps themas daughters of Ham. Their ankles are about as big round as a rolling pin, and it is ankle all the way up to the knees. The leg is set exactly inthe middle of the foot, which is very low and flat. This African trade- mark is, as I have said before, somewhat of a blemish, and tends to lower the quotations for them with some people, DEMURENESS IN PUBLIC, On the street the women are models of pro- priety. They never speak to a man on such oc- casions, though they will stare at a foreigner with simple and childlike curiosity. A e is not hard for a stranger to obtain, but it is given not so much in coquetry as to worry the - ian eunuch who accompanies the smiler abroad. Fiances are allowed to walk and talk together, and it is the correct thing for accepted lovers to serenade their dulcineas in the evening with a guitar. This latter custom seems to be in the nature of a final test of the strength of the bride’s attachment. Certain! N from what I heard, if she can stand is music with composure, there are few trials as bad that will come to her in after-life, unless he sings again. There has been the same loosening of rigidity of late years in the matter of women going abroad alone asin other lines of Turkish — To read the old statutes one would think the lines very hardly drawn. Thusin the time of Mourad III. the women were forbidden to wear bright colors, or ride in a caique without their husbands, and if a woman was found on the streets alone it was the duty of every good Mussulman to stop her, reprove her and order her to go home. But on the other hand there are decisions that make one feel that, like our Sunday law, these strict- ures were dead-letter expressions of sentiment on the statute-book and never practically en- forced. ANCIENT AND MODERN LAWS, In the reign of Solimanthe Magnificent the laws contain along homily on the depravity of the Turkish female, seemingly called forth by the wickedness of said — in promenading the streets of Scutari when the wind blew so hard as to immodestly expose their faces by blowing out their veils. The penal clause naively threatens one day's imprisonment to the man who a second time shall be found standing there thus to take advantage of beauty in dis- trees by surreptitiously gazing on her features. And onthe man who should so give way to temptation as to kiss one of these women in such a predicament, she not being his sister or his mother, a fine of an aspre (about one cent) was imposed for the firstand each following offense. Hardly a commensurate punishment one would think and one that leaves a suspicion that old Solomon himself would not have minded drifting down on the gusty side of a pretty female and snatching a kiss from under the confusion of her fluttering hair. To-day the statutes are less severe, but in dead earnest so far as they dogo. But the women are more careful, and though they are seen everywhere, riding in the care, buying inthe bazars and lunching quietly in the cemeteries, they never venture tospeak to a stranger in the street, and if they have lovers atall itis in the closest secrecy and entirely under the rose, A LOST LETTER.

Or, if the words are jewels norm dl are so chipped and marred, so mingk with base alloy, that the contrast between the good thought and the imperfect vehicle of con- veying itis painfull A young woman stood last winter before a noble painting in an art collection. She herself was no mean artist. Her reputation as a critic was good. With a fine face and figure, she was noticeable even in the crowded g mot On being pointed out to N 125 as Miss Native Genius, he drew near to hear her words of criticism to a friend be- side her. There was a moment’s pause. Then, in the silence, the words smote upon his ear: „Ho fine the drorin’ is!” Unconsciously, she had spat out a toad. It is curious to see how certain accidents have overtaken the English language, and how gene- ration after generation of those who speak it erpetuate these errors rather than repair them. ow, for instance, does it happen that h is taken from one word where it belongs and given to another that would do very well without it? Why is g treated in the same way? By what fatality was kitchen ever converted into kitch- ing, garden into garding, and mountain into mounting? The conversion isa daily fact in many homes throughout New Engiand. Still, it is not of frequent enough occurrence to account for the missing g in other words. Where is the g that belongs on scores of words thatendining? It is often missed in England, and in Scotland it is almost unknown; but, someway, in that soft, musical tongue, there is so much elision that one does not so much notice the omission of the g. But this side the water, from Maine to Texas, there are every- where yawning abyssesdown which the g has been dropped and never been found again. The child that begins to talk by using such words as goin’, doin’, seein’, eatin’, that goes through the primary and grammer school ciph- erin’ and parsin’, and is occupied in the high school with composin’ and translatin’,will wake up some day perchance toa knowledge of the atrocity of such ronunciation, only to find himself or herself a slave to a habit as firmly fixed and difficult to cure as thé opium habit. The old man of the sea was easy to shake off in com son. If he attempts to pick up a g and yut it where it belongs in on case, he forgets it fn the next; and he is at last so overwhelmed with the number of words with participial end- ings—or endin's as he would say—that he gives them all up in despair, and lets the g’s slide off one by one, — the background of his speech at intervals like potatoes laid out upon the ground for a potato race. But he will never win the race; he will never gather them up into the basket’ This is no.trifling matter. It is unfortunate to lot a child grow up with habits of speech that wiil submit him to the sensation of inferi- ority when heis with cultivated people.

Epaar Fawortt. HAMILTON AND JACKSON, The Truth of the Scandals About Two Great Men. Wm. G. Terrill in the New York Sun. 5 a The person with whose wife Hamilton, while Secretary of the Treasury, became involved in a disreputable amour, was named Reynolds, not Barrymore. Nor was it cl against the Secretary that he had kept the husband in office as areward for the favors of the wife. The illicit relations of Hamilton with the woman began inthe summer of 1791, in the absence of the husband, who, as she pretended, had aban- doned her for another. fter some weeks he suddenly reappeared, discovered (/) the intrigue, sought an interview with his wife’s paramour, and, as a satisfactory compensation for his in- jured W a place under the Gov- ernment. is Hamilton refused, but, instead, tried to purchase a settlement with money. He id Reynolds $1,000, in two installments, $600 in one and $400 in the other, which ended the matter, as he supposed. The woman, however, contrived to renew the intimacy: and the black- mailing operations of the husband were re- sumed, until Hamilton’s situation became in- supportable. He resolved to rid himself of them forever, and finally succeeded, ag he again sup- posed, in the spring of 1702. About five years afterward Reynolds was ar- rested and imprisoned on a charge of suborna- tion of perjury, in an attempt to defraud the Government, and thought to extricate himself by mysteriously hinting that a certain high official was concerned in his transactions, and was very much in his power, but refused to give his name. His wife was sought for, and she stated that she had once destroyed a num- ber of letters from Hamilton to her husband; that he had given her husband at different times considerable sums of money, and had once urged him to leave the country; that her husband had it in his power to ruin Hamilton, &c. In support of this she exhibited two notes in Hamilton’s handwriting expressing a desire to relieve her wants. All this came to the knowledge of Hamilton’s political enemies, and a self-constituted com- mittee of Congress, consisting of Speaker Muh- lenberg and Mr. Venable of the House, and Senator — r President) Monroe, pri- vately investigated the matter and prepared a memorandum of the statements and disclosures of Mrs. Reynolds and a person named Cling- man, charged with being an accomplice with Reynolds in the — — attempt at fraud, and presented it to Hamiſton for explanation. He promptly and frankly confessed to his former connections with the Reynoldses, and produced letters to show that all the money he had paid the husband was to secure his peaceable acqui- escence in the relations which he (Hamilton) bore to the wife; that finding his demands in- creasing beyond his means of supply, he had broken off the connection, and that revenge was the motive in their attempt to implicate him in fraudulent speculation. So convinced were his investigators that their mission was an impertinent intrusion into his private affairs that they made him an ample apology and dropped the subject. In some way a copy of the memorandum got into the hands of one Callender, an unscrupu- lous anti-Federalist pamphleteer, who (1797) published it. Hamilton felt compelled, under the circumstances, to give out the entire corre- spondence between himself and Reynolds and wife, with proofs as to the genuineness of the handwriting of the latter. This confession,” he said in his introductory remarks, ‘‘is made withoutablush. I cannot be the apologist of any vice, because the ardor of passion may have made it mine. I can never cease to con- demn myself for the pang which it may inflict on a bosom eminently entitled to all my grati- tude, fidelity and love, but that bosom will ap- prove that, even at so great an expense, I shall effectually vipe a more serious stain from a name which it cherishes with no less elevation and tenderness. The public, too, I trust, will excuse the confession. The necessity of it to my defence against a more heinous charge could alone have extorted from meso painfulan in- decorum.” It may be remembered that in the progress of this affair, Hamilton and Monroe became involved ina correspondence that came near resulting in a duel; and it is a curious circum- stance that Col. Burr was selected by the latter to act as his friend had such an extremity been reached, And scandalmongers may find a co-in- cidence in the fact that the female in this trouble was named Maria “A Lawyer” says that it is to be noted that Hamilton never of- fered himself fur the suffrages of the people after his defence. Hamilton, from the time of the adoption of the Federal Constitution, had never been a candidate before the people. In regard to Gen. Jackson's marriage, the Veteran Member of the Bar“ is ve more deep- ly in fault. The Legislature of Virginia never ranted Capt. Robards (not Robords) a divorce rom Mrs, Recharde (afterward Mrs. Jackson). Capt. Robards wasa citizen of Virginia (of which Kentucky was then part) at the time he applied to the Legislature of that State for a di- vorce, and the opinion of the Supreme Court referred to could have presented no analogy to hiscase. Jackson never applied to a Kentuck Legislature on behalf of Mrs. Robards for a di- vorce, nor did that Legislature ever grant such divorce. The facts are correctly these: Ro- bards and his wife (nee Donelson), after fre- uent misunderstandin final) separated. o applied (1790-91) tothe Legislature of Vir- r for a divorce on the ground that his wife ideserted him, and was “living in adul- tery with one Andrew Jackson.” Legislature did not grant the petition, but ed an act authorizing the Supreme Court of the District of Kentucky to summon a jury and ‘inquire into the truth of the allegations con- tained in the declaration, and if it shall find, in substance, that the defendant hath deserted the plaintiff, and that she hath lived in adul with another man since said desertion,” a di- vorce should thereupon be granted. Robards allowed the matter to rest, without taking any further steps, for two or three years, and until after Kentucky had been admitted as a State, Mrs. Robards having in the meantime inter- married with Jackson, in the mutual belief that she was already divorced. At the Court of Quarter ons for Mercer County, held at Harrodsbu in September, 1703, the cause was tried and the marriage dissolved on the grounds stated by Robards in his petition tothe Virginia Legi ture nearly three years before. And thus, to adopt the lan- guage of Parton, “the most c of women, and one of the few irreproachable public men of his day, are recorded adulterers. They were remarried at Nashville in January, 17 and woe to the man who, on account of that ceremony, ever dared to cast any reflections upon the conduct of Mra. Jackson. For this offence her husband, while on the bench of Tennessee, fought the Governor of the State (Sevier), and, later, slew Charles one of the most desperate duels of Th the end of his life he kept his ) iness to avenge any affront to her memory aris- ing out of the es of his peculiar mar- riage.

Nothing is so prolific of slang as something unusual in the show line. Every new comic opera sends a flood of significant phrases over o country, which everybody, from the boot- black to statesman, thinks he must use while they are in full flush of vulgar freshness. The stage is the source of most of the unhal- lowed inspirations which now threaten to finally swamp our mother tongue entirely. What the sagacious playwright doesn’t evolve from his slang-smitten inner consciousness the gallery and the lobby kindly donate. The poor public receive it from both sources. There is some influence in crowds which is a wonderful sharpener of diabolical wit. It operates whenever a few people are gathered together bent on enjoyment. If it were not for the strict decorum enforced on all audiences who witness plays and operas, slang would generate from the house instead of the stage at arate which would soon submerge what re- mains of our sacred English, once sacred be- cause of the king’s indorsement. As it is, the flood-gates of wicked witticism are only opened when restraining influences are partially or wholly removed. The exhibitions iven by the “electric girl” have been particularly prolific of peculiar phraseology. Any show which calls for par- ticipants from the public is sure to bring out the latent laughter and the wickedest wit of the assemblage. The auditor goes for the pleasure of guying. Hecares nothing for the merits of the show—in truth he prefers a poor perform- ance toa good one; it gives him finer oppor- tunities for persiflage. Through a season of two weeks in New York and one in Brooklyn these unhallowed inspira- tions continued. It wasn't always the gallery that flung these morsels of mendacity about prodigally. Swelldom contributed its share. The courageous spectators who went upon the platform to wrestle with the electric won- der” were at once the recipients and the inspi- ration of the wit of the wags. Each one sug- gested his station or calling, in some inexplica- ble way, and the bolder part of the audience immediately informed the less bold in language that might be said to be photographic. As a corpulent man in a white vest tripped up the stairs to the stage, somebody called out: “What queer things are to be seen when one has no gun.” „Take care of his legs, they may break,” was the cheerful caution that came from near the door as an exceedingly slim investigator join ed the company on the stage. Where did you buy that hard-baked smile?” is the rather unanswerable query that confuses a youth that tries to look as though he didn't mind what was said. A heroic man with red hair was floored by the mention of carrots. A slow-stepping man, W a low collar not immediately from the la y, was told that there were no umbrellas to be mended to- " * day, sir. A small but energetic man, nearly fifty years old, was discouraged by the assertion that no- body had called a messenger boy. Meet me in the gloaming,” was addressed toa side-whiskered man with a thin nose. “What strange things come in with the tide” was called out to a bald-headed man with red ears and a nose to match. When a slender youth, with soft white hands and a smile peculiar to Fourteenth street, indi- cating a dry goods career, stood u and grasped the electric girl’s umbrella, a high falsetto wire from the gallery called out, “Will you have a yard or two yards, madam!” A short man in a speckled coat was asked to tell who sawed him off. Who took a tuck in you?” was the interrog- atory that confounded a still shorter man. A Teutonic gentleman with greased hair and a waxed mustache suggested the German barber, and Shave or shampoo, sir?” was heard from all sides of the house. “Why don’t you get ita high chair?’ came from the gallery as a rosy-cheeked creature, rather stinted in height, ventured up. “How is the air up there?” greeted a walking lightning rod. ‘Be careful, Lulu, or you'll muss its. hair,” was the injunction that accompanied a full- fledged dude. Job lot!” was the label affixed toa man with a Semitic nose. “Cash! cash!” was the war-cry as a pale, boyish creature, with hair parted in the middle and plastered down on either side of his face, stepped up. A courageous fellow who would measure about 6 feet 4 inches was asked tocomeon in sections. Not doing this to the satisfaction of his advisers, he was urged to carry a step-lad- der. ‘Now, grandpa, that will do,” caused a gray- haired man tosink out of sight. “There now, George; no more flirting on the stage, or I'll tell your wife,” was the admo- nition gratuitously given a member of the Union Club. „Put a man on the stage,” was the request that destroyed the courage of a beardless nine- teener. Ho did it get out?” came from the gallery, as a man with full beard, dyed to the shade of midnight, went forward. A blonde man with a severely serious face —— told that his bright smile would haunt them still. Altogether, an evening of electric girl in New York or Brooklyn, is also an evening of electri¢ slang.

She was fat and forty, and as sat down to tell the Superintendent of Police her story she smoothed down her check and sort o tucked up her sleeves as if getting ready to lay the fo tion for a pot-pie. „Two weeks ago,” she began, “a very distin- guished looking man about 50 years old called at m house to secure * 16 e mn. “He represented himself as a visiting states- | man, and I gave him the best room and the head of the table.” „What's a visiting statesman?” „Well, that's one thing I want to ask you about.

A Man Found Dead at Twelfth and Olive Streets. — — The Circumstances Point to a Natural Death While One Witness Gives a Detailed Account of a Fatal Assault. Benjamin Price, a consumptive, was found dead at Twelfth and Olive streets this under band to suffer from hem This left home in his usual health at 6 o'clock to go to corner of Twelfth and St. Charles streets, W — a —. 1 * yet gk that until sum- mon enti at the Morgue. While the body was lying in the —— a y was found who gave the following account of the death, which makes out a case of murder. At the Coroner's inquest he made the following statement: “I reside at 1817 Franklin avenue, and I work at No. 105 North Fourth street. About 6:30 o'clock this morning I was wal down Olive street, going to work. ‘hen about feet west of Twelft street on the north side of Olive street I saw the de- ceased walking east on the sonth side of the street. I was right across the street on the north side, twenty feet west of the deceased. I saw a man with a high broad brimmed old yellowish straw hat dressed in old dusty brown clothes, medium height, and weighing about 155 or 160 pounds; looked very much like an Italian: he looked somewhat like a tramp, but his clothes were not ragged, come west on Clive street. He. met the deceased about fifty feet from the west side of Twelfth street on the south side of Olive street. Just as he came abreaat of the deceased he struck bim a blow with his clenched fist in the upper portion of the chest. The man struck the deceased with his large that lainly from across the street. After striking the eceased the man who did it turned around and walked bac on Olive street to street turned around the corner and walked south on the west side of Twelfth street. Neither man saida word that I heard. The deceased no attempt of any kind to assault the man who struck him. After being struck the deceased walked for- ward afew feet and sat downon thedrug store steps. I afterwards saw the deceased get up and fall down on the iron grating, then a. crowd - ered and I went across the street and saw blood run- ning from his mouth. I waited until the patrol wa- oncame and I went to work. At first 1 10ught the deceased was not hurt as he did not stagger or fail down or make apy resistance.” The wife of the deceased testified that she did not know of any quarre! that he had with body. She listened to the description given by the boy of the supposed assailant and said t did not know of any enemy of her husband answering that de- scription. The deceased slept at his home last night and was in his usual health and spirits. Coroner Nidelet thought that the boy's statement called for a closer and at once notified Capt. and the reporters that one witness testified to an assault having been committed. An investigation threw no light on the case. The boy, an intelligent young fellow, about 16 years of age, adhered to bis story of the assault. Several other persons in the immediate vicinity at the time set by the other witnesses, stated that no such occurrence as that related by the boy took place at all. On ex- amining the sidewalk atthe above locality it ap- rs t the deceased was attacked with a flow of lood from the lungs while on Twelfth Street, and that it continued until he reached the corner, where he fell exhausted. While the evidence points to a natural death the Coroner disliked to believe that Lyons had invented the story out of whole cloth. Additional facts showing that it isa case of death from natural causes were reported this afternoon and will be investigated. MINISTERS’ MEETINGS. Several Interesting Diseussions at the Weekly Gatherings Held To-Day. The Southern Methodist ministers were well rep- resented at their meeting to-day in expectation of hearing the report of the special committee ap- pointed last week to prepare a constitution and by- laws. The report, however, in the absence of the secretary, was not forthcoming. The principal part of the hour was spent in giving the reports from the churches, which all announced a large attendance and good religious feeling.

Interesting History of a Most Im- portant Discovery. — — — Preparations forthe Eighth Convention of Teachers of the Blind to be Held To- Morrow—Different Methods of Instruction — Some In- teresting Facts. The eighth biennial Convention of the American Association of Instructors of the Blind, which is to be held in this city this week, on the 19th, 20th and 2ist inst., will be the occasion of an exhaustive re- view of one of the most interesting branches of modern education by some of the most distinguished instructors in America, if not in the world. The association, which was organized in Indianapolis in 1868, is made up of the superintendents and instructors of all or nearly all the blind schools of America, who come together every second year for the exchange of views and theories. These meetings, together with the efforts of individual instructors, have resulted in the dev et to a wonderful degree of a sci- ence,which at first blush, must have appeared most un of results. Every person of inteili- ce knows, 1. — way, that a blind man may taught to and to do a number of other things which are N accomplished with the aid of the sense of sight. Very few, however, know how these results are achieved or have any adequate notion of the extent to which science has been made to fill the mental gap that necessarily ensues upon the loss of the busiest of ali the fivé senses. The educated blind man not only reads, but he reads fluently and well; he writes with unerring accuracy and at considerable speed; he draws maps and studies geceraphy till he is familiar with the habit- able and uninhabitable globe, from East St. Louis to Timbuctoo; the sky with its infinite convolutions of stars and planets is an open book to him, and he crosses the pons asinorum with easy confidence. Read to him, if you can, a sheet of music; he will transcribe it faster than you read, take it to the piano and compel that instrument to give up the dulcet sounds represented in print by the hieroglyphics which, to most seeing persons even, are a sealed mystery. How all these things achieved? ST. LOUIS 18 THE HOME of an ingtitution—fhe Missouri School for the Blind, located at thecorner of Morgan and Twentieth Streets—which ranks at least third in the list of American institutions of the kind. It is not an asylum or an alms-bouse, though open and free to all, but is supported by the State as a part of the public school system, with some small assistance from the national fovernment. The school is under the superintendence of Dr. J. T. Sib- ley, who in a recent interview with a repre entative of the PosrDispatca furnished an interesting account of the methods of instruction now in common use. Moe receive pupils here,“ the Doctor explained, “of every class, condition, breeding, and of every age, up to 25. City and country, the alms-house and the home of the wealthy—each furnishes its quota. Blind people are as various in their dispositions and intellectual capacities as seeing peopie. They are bright or stupid, gay or depressed, amiable or ugly —like all the rest of the world. According to each one’s bent or capacity to learn, we teach him or her a trade or a profession or other means of earn- ing a living. That is our first, last, and only aim to 2 the blind man for his struggle against the world.” The doctor then proceeded with an account of the systems by which his pupils are taught to read, which rudimentary branch of learning naturally forms the stepping stone to the rest of the curric- ulum. The ginner is first instructed in what is known as the line letter’ which is a technical name for the ordinary os. He is given a sheet of heavy paper on which the letters are raised or embossed and, by the sense of feeling, communi- cated through the ends of his fingers, made famil- liar with the twenty-six forms which can be made to spell anything in English. This is the most cumber- some and difficult system to teach, and is employed only because so much of the literature for the blind was written in the line letter“ before the other systems came into vogue. It is taught first because, otherwise, the —— could be brought with only the test difficulty to attempt it at all. he line letter being once mastered, the pupil is introduced to one of the “point systems” in which he or she soon becomes familiar, and in which all intercourse with his friends and fellow-unfortunates is afterwards held. In Missouri to-day there are not less than 5.000 people who write in an alphabet is neither English nor Hebrew nor Chaldaic nor Irish nor Choctaw nor anything else except the “blind alphabet.“ Less than a half of these 5,000 are themselves blind; the remainder are friends of the blind who use the alphabet in correspondence with them. OF THE “‘POINT” SYSTEMS there are two, the Braille“ and the “New York int.“ They differ only in detail, both being ounded on the arrangement of a series of points, not wholly unlike the Morse telegraphic alphabet. The “Braille” 2. of which Dr. Sibley is an en- thusiastic friend, is based on a combination of six ints, arranged in three horizontal lines in what is own as a cell“ thus: . * A moment's reflection will show that this diagram admits of an almost infinite series of com- binations, which may be made to do service for any letter, character or word. Thus a single point . is a; two points in a vertical line : is b:“ 447 is [. J, ete. The pupil learns these characters in a single da forgets them the next; relearns them on the third day, and in less than a week has them so firmly imbedded in his memory that he never for- gets them again. And, by the way, the so-called “blind alphabet has its full quota of i's, a paradox, perhaps, but the world is full of paradoxes, The blind man writes with a style“ or “stylus” which is, to all intents and purposes a little awl, and a late.“ The latter is made of two oblong sheets of brass which fold together like a pocket rule. The upper arm is punctured with three lines of rectangular holes shaped thus IJ and the lower is transversed with a series of ,.rooves. Between these arms a sheet of paper is folded and guiding his “stylus” into the square holes along the grooves in the lower arm of his “slate” he punctures his per with the dots that make — his alphabet. The result is a series of raised dots on the under side of the paper, which isthe side, of course, for the use of his correspond- ent. Ordinary letter paper is used for correspond- ence, as it will bear several “readings before under the pressure of the inquisitive finger tips of the reader the dots are crushed down and disappear. “It isa common sight.“ said Dr. Sibley, “to see one of our pupils at a lecture or at a church, his slate on his knee, taking notes of the discourse. He brings his notes home, transcribes them, and very — is able nearly to reproduce the speaker's words entire.“ At the Missouri School large numbers of books are printed every year. The type-setting is in the ‘Braille’ alphabet and is done almost entirely by one blind girl. She uses the ordinary cases“ and “stick” known to printers and sets up“ anythin rr by combinations of forty types. I askex er at the start,” Dr. Sibley said, “how many she would require for a complete font—to embrace the alphabetical characters, algebraic aud musical signs and everything used in the literature of the blind. She took a day to think then came to me and Sree inversions and transposi- tions she could do it all with forty characters. So I had the t cast bere in a local foundry and we have never felt the need of more. MAPS AND GEOMETRIC FIGURES are made on a sewing machine. This seems like another paradox, but itisso.

A Hobbs’ Agreeable Surprise by His Fire Department Friends. Mr. William A. Hobbs, who resigned Saturday his position as railroad reporter of the Posr-Disraron to take charge of the business department of the St. Paul Daily Sun, was by a clever ruse induced to visit Engine House No. 18 on Saturday night, under the impression that Assistant Chief Gross wanted to consult with him on a private matter. When he got there, however, he was treated to a genuine surprise which had been prepared for him by the Fire Department at large, whose members had decided to present him. before he departed for the North, with a testimonial of their affection and admiration. Afterthe meeting, of which Mr. Hobbs was embarrassed to find himself the central fi; had been called to order, Capt. John Lindsay - dressed him in a concise but exhaustive five-min- utes speech, and wound up by handing the blushin A a handsome gold watch and chain on beh of the boys of the brigade. Mr. Hobbs’ emotions almost overpowered him, but after recovering his intellectual equilibrium, he responded to the address in words full of feeling. He said that the moment was at once the saddest and happiest one of his life. He would never forget his old friends of the Fire De ment, but while far away he would, in thought, wander back to the old engine house where he spent so many happy hours. Thespeech making over re- freshments were served and toasts were made and responded to and songs sung, the beneficiary of the occasion HELPING OUT NOBLY in the vocal exercises of the happy occasion. The watch, which was purchased of the Mermod & Jac- card Company, is a — and handsome gold hunt- ing case, bearing 6 recipient's initials, W. A. H., on the outside and inside the inscription, “Presented to Wm. A. Hobbs by the officers and members of the St. Louis Fire Department, as a token of esteem.” The chain is of solid gold links, with a handsome locket. Mr. Hobbs has spent his life in St. Louis journalism, and is known as one of the most knowing and energetic newsgatherers in the city. He was for several years railroad ——— on the Globe-Democrat, where he o i and man successfully most of the out-of-town enter- ae which helped to build up that paper, which he eft to better himself by taking a similar position on the staff of the Post-Dispatca, where he re- mained until further advancement was offered him in the shape of the very responsible and lucra- tive position which he will assume at St. Paul. The best wishes of his journalistic brethren, very few of whom had not had occasion to appreciate his kind- ness of disposition, will follow him in his new and enlarged sphere of exertion. Get Your Boys Ready for School.

AMUSEMENTS. “The Little Duke” had a magnificent audience at Uhrig's Cave last evening—one of the best of the en- tire season—and the excellence of the performance received the tribute of warm and frequent ap- plause. It is certainly one ofthe best works ever done by the Ford Company, and the chorus as, well as the principals, shows to very great advan- tage. It will only be presented two more evenings, and on Wednesday night the old favorite Billee Taylor“ will be revived, with Phil Branson as the virtuous hero, Raymond as Crabtree, Denham as Dick Deadeye, Paxton as Capt. Flipper; Miss Bianche Chapman as Phosbe, and Miss Alice May as Eliza Dabsey. The Casino was packed to the doors last night not- withstandin the great heat. The rform- anee was generally satisfactory, the new faces be- ing well received. Miss Nellie St. John received sev- eral encores for her ballad singing, and Cardello and Van Auken's horizontal bar act was a magnificent exposition of athletic grace and strength. The new acts of Lester and Walker, Keating and Flynn were mirthful and clever, but the repetitions of some of the other artists were exceed ingly tiresome. Where 22 like Miss Hnasey remained a second week they should certainly v their performances, while one installment of Prof. Wallace's imitations is interesting and worth listen- to. 823 Edwards of the Comique is certainly keeping up with the procession and to-night a very fine and inte F programme will be presented at his house. In consequence his business is very la and is on the increase. Most of the favorites of week remain, and in addition a number of new faces will be added to the programme. The charges are moderate and reasonable and a full and satisfactory return is made for the same, Mul- doon's Picnic” concludes the bill to-night. The People's opens its doors on Sunday evening next with ian Brown's Jollities in The Electric Doll.“ It is a clever and ingenious extravaganza. The regular Tuesday matinees will take place at the Casino and at Edwards’ Comique to-morrow eft- ernoon.

The bolters attempted to meet in the City Court- room after the regular meeting ad- journed, but they were bodily carried from the room and the doors locked against them. The meet- ing was attended by fully 500 citizens. The picnic at Starkel’s Grove yesterday termin- ated in a general row in which r glasses were used as weapons.
