A Cat Kills a Pilot Snake—Some Very Curi- ous Snake Stories. By Telegraph tothe Post-Dispatch, Haw tey, Pa., August 19.—Andrew Bellas, an em- ploye in the Pennsy!vania Coal Company Gravity R. R., lives at Plane No. 4 on the line of that road. One day last week a couple of small kittens were miss- ing from his house. As hewas going through his back-yard looking for them, he saw the mother of the kittens stealing along through the grass. Bellas stopped. and. looking ahead of the cat, saw a large pilot snake about six feet distant. The cat crept to within a foot of the snake, which was ready to strike. Then she st ped and raising her left fore-paw, cautiously beld it out towards the piiot. Like a flash the latter struck at the paw, but the cat whisked her paw out of harm's way, at the same time bringing her right paw into play, and before the snako couid recover itself. dealt it a blow ona the head that knocked the Mot back a foot or more, the cats claws eaving deep scratches. The spake, evidently y surprised and maddened by the cat's attack, returned tothe fight. Again THE CAT PRESENTED HER LEFT FOREPAW and again the pilot struck viciously at it only to again miss and receive the terrible ht-hander alongside the head. This was repeated four times, when the snake weakened, and, thoroughly dis- firited, turned and tried to drag itself away. In- stantly the cat sprang on the retreating reptile and with two or three strokes with her sharp claws tore it to pieces. She carried the remains of the dead snake to a distant part of the yard, where she dug a hole and burned it. Bellas went to a rocky hil) not far away. thinking the kittens might be there. Hesaw a crevice in the rocks which looked like a snug 3 place for them, and he thrust his hand into it. stantly he felta 8 stinging pain in his ager, and it then shot up d arm to tne shoulder. ie withdrew his hand quick- ly.

This and the whisky was kept up and after 2 hours Bellas, who had into deliriuM, was restored to consciousness. At the end of three days be was pronounced out of danger. The old cat has killed several snakes since the disappearance of her kittens. She never hunted snakes before. It is believed that her kittens were eaten by snakes, and that she knew it, and is aveng- ing ther death by killing snakes. A COUNTERFEITING CONVICT.

And What it Shows of Cleveland’s Strength in New York. _ — From 40,000 to 70,000 Republicans Will Vote for Cleveland—Elkins and His Methods—A Worked-Up Dem- onstration by Car Driv- ers—Political Gossip. By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch. New York, August 19.—The arrival of advance proofs of Ben. Butler's acceptance caused just a tinge of interest at Democratic and Republican headquarters to-day, but it lasted scarcely an hour. Intense hat, and the absence of Cleveland's letter, join in making the Democrats drowsy. Governor Leon Abbott declares that New Jersey is naturally a Democratic State; cites his own triumphant election last fall, as proof, and says the success of Cleveland in that State will be assured from and after next Wednesday, when the State Convention for the nomination of nine electors will be held at Trenton. Samuel T. Randall will make his first speech of the campaign at that guthering and the campaign will be formally opened. The Democratic State Committee has received 1,820 reports from the 2,000 election districts of the State lying north of New York City, and the general tenor i@ very satisfactory. There is no desire to hide actual truth in these reports and a ma- tham frankly admit more or less dissatis- action at the present time, but in no one case is it consid of sufficient moment to merit more than passing notice, If this Tilden system of canvassing the State is to be relied on Mr. Blame must needs do without the electoral vote of New York, as the re- ports show From 40.000 To 70,000 nePrcBLICANs will vote for Cleveland. Outsid New York City the reports say that Butler's nadie is only occasion- ay and then in the lightof a joke. of Cleveland's letter is tly deploré@ in some of the reports, Mr. Tilden is very quietly causing a great amount of effective work to be done for Cleveland in the central and northern portions of the State. Just a breeze of feelin against Steve Elkius is gaining ground at Natio Republican headquarters. Some of the prominent loungers intimate that Mr. Elkins is a deal too fresh; that he is posing as a political atlas, beari Blaine's world on his back, and that he really runs the entire ma- chine. Mr. Elkins seems — unconscious of any complaint about his energy in caring for Mr. Blaine's interests. In these dispatches three weeks ago appeared an expose of the Republican mode of working up sentiment against Cleveland among car-drivers and conductors, and to-day the first in- dication of the results of the work were made pub- lic when a very small delegation of car-drivers called on the Republican managers for soap“ and to tell them that a strong anti-Cleveland feeling was creeping out among the car men because the Governor aidn't fix their time of labor at twelve hours per day for seventeen hours’ pay. The Repub- lican managers gravely told the car men that it was a shame they were or gees to work so many hours on account of Cleveland. The managers neglecied to ask them, however, how they could expect seven- teen hours’ pay for twelve hours’ work when the were paid by the trips made and not by the day. It is presumed they merely neglected to mention a fact so trivial. Congressman O Hara of North Carolina returned to- day from a campaign tour of Michigan, accompanied by C. E. Farmelee. W. E. Brown and K. A. Willendorf, well known Michigan men, aud Mr. O'Hara is con- fident that wuen Michigan gets her prohibition and local differences settied the State will declare for Blaine. He also professed a sincere belief that North Carolina, West Virginia and Florida WOULD GO REPUBLICAN this year. A peculiar political surprise developed in Syracuse resterday, when over one hundred Republicans bolted and declared for Cleveland. It was learned at the headquarters here that the bolt was caused by the Re lican County Committee circulating the Buffaio newspaper containing the Cleveland scandal as a campaign document. Forty of the bolters have heretofore been very active in the Re- publican interest. Col. Dan Lamont, private secretary to Gov. Cleve- land, arrived this afternoon, and said the prospect in New York was very flattering, wiih Cleveland as- sured of a majority not less than 70,000, and prob- ably much larger. ST. JOE JAIL- BREAKERS, Partially Exonerated—Released by Confed- erates—-Texas Fever—Missourl News. Sr. Josera, Mo., August 19.—Eight prisoners es- caped from the County Jail yesterday afternoon through a hole made in the mending of a sewer. Only one of them, named Vogal, has been recapt- ured. T. C. Curtis and Frank Mack were arrested here yesterday on suspicion and when searched three gold watches, fourteen gold rings, and other jewelry were found upon them. It is believed Curtis is the man who murdered and robbed a man named Wooldridge at Wichita, Kan. The Coroner's jury in the case of Henry Graus, the colored desper- ado, killed by Dr. Kirschner, found that the latter acted without premeditation and that the shooting was done in a deadly struggle.

An Inhuman Father’s Persecution of His Unfortunate Son—The Details of the Story ot The Village Idiot.” By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch. Platt, August 19.—The story of the latest insanity horror which the rural districts of Pennsyl- vania has yielded up is now told. It comes from the aristocratic suburb of Chestnut Hill. The victim is George Streeper, who has been crazy for fifteen years, and who was confined by economy three years in the house of his father, Charies Streeper, a man worth $55,000 living one quarter of a mile out of Chestnut Hill on the Flower Town road. In the year 1809 George Streeper was 4 boy of 18, living in his father’s house. I was in that year that he went harmlessly crazy. The few people living about “The Wheel Pump” Inn, the center of the settlement, and who remember him at that time say that the cause of his insanity was love. He was infatuated with Mary Polts of Chestnut Hill. His father opposed his suit, forbade the boy's at- tentions to the girl, dogged him about the country from place to place when he thought that his son sought a meeting with his sweetheart and cursed him roundty whenever he thought his mind or his footsteps were bent in her direction. It isthe sound of the father’s curses to-day, when he them (which is not seldom), that excites the boy, now a middle aged man, Nou MELANCHOLIA INTO MANIA. Years went on, the father content in having mas- tered the son's inclination, grew rich. The boy grew more and more “the village idiot.” He ran away but the father followed him to Newtown, Delaware County, and brought him back. Things went on much the same way as be- fore for another five years. The only sign of an ever-growing impairment of the son's mind was increasing irritability when the father swore, It was in the harvest timo of 1881 that the son leaped at the old man after be bad delivered an unusually heavy- charged volley of abuse in the cornfield behind the house in which he lived—one of the dozen houses which Charles 2 owns. The father had the corn-cutter in his nd. “If he had'nt had it.“ said an eye witness yesterday, “there would have been another acquittal in a murder case on the ground of insanity.’ As it was the boy, then grown through years of mental darkness to a man of 30, snatched a bundle of corn stalks and thrashed his father like a sheaf of grain. It was the last free ex- ere of his muscles. Save for his father, mother and little brother, the barber who was brought in to shave him, and tobert Gordon, host of the “wheel-pump,’ who was called in to coax him down stairs to let abarber shave him, no mortal eyes have seen his face. The buried man has two rooms. One is a garret with a tin roof. It has no stove in winter, and it guthers all the heat that the cool villas of Chestnut Hill let escape in the summer. The man's insanity grew deeper, but it kept its mel- ancholic form,;save when the father's harsh voice was heard in the household beneath. Then THE LOST ONF WOULD SHRIEK, and beat hirnself against th. walls of his prison. Af night his cries - ied frequently aroused 10 the households of ill and val ley, until two weeks the protested to Charles Streeper, but did not interfere with this treatment of his son.

It is evidence against which bravado cannot stand: it is evidence in the face of which Mr, Blaine’s blustering telegram ordering suit will appear as either blind reck lessness or grim caricature. It is evidence which must make his own family condemn him for being con- fronted with, he knowing of its possible, if not actual, existence.

By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch. SEDALIA, Mo., August 19.—The Prohibitionists are tugging away on their preliminary work. They expect this afternoon to be in readiness to nominate a full State ticket from Governor down to Railroad Commissioner. The delegates are somewhat divided in their allegiance to the party, some claiming that Dr. Brooks as President of the State Alliance ought to have control of all of the forces gathered here for the purpose of nominating the State ticket. The other element is in charge of M. W. Watson of Hol- den, who isa member of the National Prohibition Committee for Missouri, and claims to have charge of the Convention as President. His following say ‘hat they are the Prohibition party in Missouri, and, as such, have power to transact the business of the party. Asa consequence of this, TWO CONVENTIONS have been in session all morning: with the State Alliance, which met in Ilall, and Mr Watson with his set of delegates have been holding forth in Ger- mania Hali. The convention in Smith's Hall was at- tended by about one hundred, among whom was lion. Charles P. Johnson of St. Louis. Dr. Brooks called the convention 10 order a few minutes after oO clock, after which Rev. Disner offered a fervent prayer of thanks that the cause of Temperance was prosper- ing all over the land, ana invoved Divine guidance in the deliberations and for their future success. Fol- iowing this the president stated that owing to the condition which could not be controlled, there were now sitting in this city three conventions: The Wom- en’s Christian Temperance Union. the Prohibition Convention and the State Prohibition Alliance.

He is Nominated as Appellate Judge on the Eighth Ballot. 1 — A Hard Fight, in Which Taylor Was Only a Weak Second — Proceedings of the Convention Held To-Day—The © Nominations and Balloting. To-day was the date telected for the Democratic Convention to choose a candidate for the Judgeship of the Court of Appeals, made vacant by the retire- ment of Judge Bakewell. The district comprises the city of St. Louis and the counties af St. Louis, St. Charies, Lincoln and Warren. Sixth street, in front of the Union Democratic Clubrooms, where the convention was called to meet. was thronged as early as 10 o'clock with a motley throng of delegates and politicians. The fight over the nominationwas hotter than ever, but the situation was practically unchanged from that of yesterday, and was as uncertain. The number of unpledged delegates made plenty of work for the friends ot all candidates, and it was done with a will. Taylor's friends were as confident as ever. and stat that their candidate could not possibly be defeated, Rus seill's friends were not — sO pronounced in opin- ion, but were smiling while Mebearmon's advovates asserted that the countryman was gaining ground straight along. They said he had a number of votes secured for the second ballot. The qrder on the first ballot was believed to be Taylor, Russell or McDear- mon, and lastly Valliant. A number of lawyers were on the scene. Some of them were Repubheans. Among them were Messrs. Laughlin, Chester Krum, John C. Orrick, Harrison and others. The unpledged delegates were great favorites and received plenty of attention. It was il o'clock when the crowd began to surge up the stairs toward the hall, Among the unterrified was a fair sprinkling of Republicans who passed through the doors and took seats. The hall was well filled, and there being no windows on the South side, the little assembly room was a good deal like an oven in temperature. R. D. Lancaster, as committeeman from the district, called the Convention to order at 11 o'clock and read the call under which the Convention met. He then named AS TEMPORARY CHAIRMAN Dr. Thos. E. Holland: Secretaries Thos. B. Collett of St. Louis and W. N. Castlio of St. Charles: Sergeants at Arms, A. 8. Tayon of St. Louis, and A H. Avery of Lincoln County. Dr. Holland on taking the chair said briefly that he thanked the convention for the honor: that it be- hooved the Democrats there assembled to look woll to their work and select not only a fit man, but one who can be elected. He then deciared the convention open for work. It was moved that the chairman appoint five delegates asa committee on credentials, which wad carried, but on motion of Nat Dryden was re- considered and lost. A motion then prevailed after considerable confusioa and discussion to the effect that the delegates of each legislative district name as many members for the Committees on Credentials, Rules and Perma- nent Organization as they are each entitled to in the Legislature, after which the rollof districts and wards was called by the secretaries. The districts after consultation made the following reports: COMMITTEE ON CREDENTIALS. First District—M. J. Brennan, T P. Culkin and Albert Hercules. Second District—Ed. Butler, T. Harris, B. J. Cur- ran and E. E. Guion. 1 Third District - Arthur Lee, Ed. Baggott aud E. oung. Fourth District—Thos. Ward, John A. Sloan, Henry Smythe, and I. F. Ryan. St. Charies, R. F.

The McDearmon delegates from the county held a conference this morning before the convention met and Messrs. at the Pianters’ House, but it was given out that it | was only for an informal discussion of the situation. There was considerabletalk of a combination be- tween McDearinon and Russell, but the rumor couid not be traced to any reiiabie source. and the friends of the candidates declared that there was nothing ip ib.

Dryden responded for Lincoln County by an eloquent speech, in which he nomi- nated Theodorie F. McDearmon. Mr. Dryden re- ferred to his high character and attainments and dwelt at some length og his availability and his certainty of being elected.

At 1 o'clock tiis afternoon Edward Goken, an oid German. the sole occupant of a dingy apartment at 118 Howard street, took down from his ‘shelf a pair of English pistols, more ancient even than himself, and loaded their ca ous barrels with buck-shot. Having affixed to each a percussion cap, he laid them upon his dressing case. He calmly proceeded to shave and make an elaborate toilet. A few minutes later, Mrs. Mary Mack, the tenant of a room overhead, opened the old man's rear door and saw something which set her off into a frenzy of terror. The door was slammed behind her as she ran screaming for the pounce, Instantiy the place waa filled with the din and smoke of the exploded pistol. Officer Maloney ran in from the street, burst the door and found Goker lying on the floor, his left side almost completely torn away. He was quite dead. The old man was in his 73d year. a native of Berlin, and for fifteen years pasi a widower. He owned the house in which he died and the one adjoining.

It was a matter of grave doubt whether any election law was now in force in Virginia. Notwithstanding the declaration of the court of appeals that the old law was restored and for a reason lengthily given in their reports, they recommend thé reenactment of the election law, that is the law existing since 1870. The com- mittee critizie the opinion of the court and say the responsibility for the failure to take effect of the new law passed at the last session must rest withthe executive since both Houses passed the bill striking out the obje ctionabie words in the bill, vetoed and he saw fit to withdraw his approval.

I have frequently heard members of her sex, of a different world from hers, ask: How can of which is peculiarly a feminine question. It is readily seen that she can, because she does, and has done constantly. Mrs. Langtry doubtless correct enough, in the ordinary sense, notwithstanding the ill-natured gossip about her, which was inevitable under the circum- stances. Itis very hard to conceive that a pro- fessional beauty can be modest; the title and the adjective are wholly at variance. But she may be honest. Mrs. Langtry is, perhaps fort- unately for her, of a cold temperament, and she is €xtremely shrewd, even calculating. She loves ease, affluence, luxury, and does not in- tend to live without them. To be a professional beauty b ht herina revenue, she was paid a handsome commission on her photographs, and she receives, or has re- ceived, numberless costly presenta. When her husband—how crushingly satirical is the very idea of Mra. Langtry’s husband—had lost the greater part of his fortune she decided to go up- on the stege, and from her point of view she has acted sagely, fur it has put money in her purse. She has been mercilessly criticised for allow- ing a New York dude to — her around the country. It hurt her reputation and she knew it would. But che did not care. She was not in society here, and she was more rudent pri- vately than she got credit for. did pre serve the ordinary conventionalities, The in- fatuated dude she did not value a rush He" amused her, ati he was lavish of presenta.

NEVER YET QUESTIONED: The Absolute Purity and Wholesomeness of Royal Baking Powder. It is a noticeable fact that in the numerous battles. be- tween the rival baking powder makers the absolute purity and wholesomeness of the Royal Baking Powder has never yet been questioned. Hundreds of baking powders have been placed upon the market with great flourish of trumpets, and have strutted their brief hour in imaginary contention with Royal for the patronage of the public, but their impurities and imperfec- tions were soon exposed by the chemist’s skill, and they speedily passed away, the victims of their own mephitic gases, or are awaiting the fate that sooner or later overtakes the fraud and the charlatan. But the thousands of analyses, many of them by the most celebrated chemists of the world, the most searching scrutiny by scientific bodies in this country and Europe, the exhaustive tests before the juries of Competitive and industrial exhibi- tions and all the minute and prejudiced investigations by rivals and their chemists in the endeavor to find something upon which to base the shadow of a fault, have had but one result, to more fully determine and establish the fact that the Royal Baking Powder and all its ingredients are absolutely hure and wholesome, All reputable chemists, and all but the most ignorant makers of the low test, short weight, lime, alum and other impure powders, long since ceased to examine the Royal Baking Powder to find anything impure or un- wholesome in it. While the Royal is proud of these unimpeachable indorse- ments, and highly gratified at the perfect result which it has, by the aid of the most competent chemists, the adoption of every available invention, and the expenditure of great sums of money, been able to accomplish, its greatest pleasure arises from the fact that its labors have been parallel with those men were suiTocated to-day at Braye, owing to an accident in the underground canal, intended to con- . | great interests of the public sought in the protection of the fives and health of the people. The gravity of the danger to the consumer from the many impure and unwholesome baking powders of the market is but faintly appreciated. The small amount of injurious substance imparted to the system at one time in the use of such pow- ders is unnoticeable. They are therefore continued by the consumer in ignorance of the serious results sure to follow from the accumulated effects. This slow, insidious poison- ing, because unapparent, is more dangerous than a larger dose at once. All the baking powders upon the market, ex- cept Royal, have been found to contain lime, alum, terra alba, or other ingredients that injuriously affect the health of the consumer, The great advantage to the public of a baking powder like the Royal, whose purity and wholesomeness have never been questioned, and whose practical worth has stood the test of cooking for so many years, will be apparent to every consumer, — — — — — — -aeis = ov WHEEL! “STICK FO FO rer PILOT. the Ne loo of ‘ Those who have * not 1 out the baby in the air, n pot vunny MeN — bugs make folks stare Bo fine, for money.

Corn in Illinois is badly in need of rain. Where three weeks ago the prospects for the new crop were of the best, to-day they fear great damage. They claim that if they have no good rains in the next week or ten days the crop will be cuf down one-half, In many sections the plant is said to be fred.“ ow- ing to the drouth and hot sun.——But the corn crop of Kansas and Missouri seems to be beyond danger, even ui frost. Frost cannot be looked for for some time to come. A sample of Kansas corn, sent here by S. A. Brown & Co., of Neodosha, was received by S. W. Cobb & Co. If itis a fair average sample of Kansas corn no fears need be felt of that crop. It is beyond all danger of drouth, frost or anything else that might injure it. S. A. Brown & Co. write that corn prospects are magnilicent. Chicago's stocks this morping were 2,054,562 bus wheat, 960,554 bus corn, 168.021 bus oats, 99.4357 bus rve and 20,480 bus barley, showing an increase of 351,000 bus in wheat, 69,000 bus in oats over last week, and a decrease of 53.000 bus in corn. The stock of No. 2 spring de- creased 14,000 bus of contract corn 122,000 bus and No. 2 oats increased 53,000 bus.——The combined stocks of wheat of the yn markets are 906,500 bu larger this week than last, and corn de- creased 124,000 bu.——-It is claimed there is little de- mand for wheat, simply because Europe is not buy- ing freely. But what becomes of the enormous re- ceipts that have been pouring into the accumulative markets since the new crop commenced moving? The increase in the stocks of these markets has been comparatively moderate. And the increase in the visible is not as large this year as during the two preceding years. This wheat must be used some- where to disappear from sight. Let the bears pon- der over this.——The foreigu exports from the At lantic seaboard for the last week were 200.000 bris Hour. 2,240,000 bu wleat, 270.000 bu corn, and 90.000 bu rye.——New York's stock of lard on August 15 was 25.777 tes, against 28,002 tes one year ago.—— The Chicago report on the visible supply gives an increase of 1,500,000 bus in wheat and 540,000 bus in corn.———A gentleman just returned from Kansas says he met M.A. 8 of Wichita, Kas.,who gave him several ears of cOrn as specimen of the new crop. The ears were large, well filled out and al- ready beginning to cure. Mr. Sayles stated that the prospects were the finest they ever had. and called the five ears of corn, “ a Sedgwick County flush.” Shorts started out 25.000 bushels wheat this fore- noon on August and year contracts, but after settling of 50,000 bushels shortage the wheat landed at J B. M. Kehlor and stopped there.——Cash No. 2 corn was up to fifty cents to-day,as the consequemce of its great scarcity.——**The reason for the increase in the visible of corn,“ said Tom Bennett, of Martin & Bennett, Chicago, “is that whilethe stock of corn in Chicago is smaller to-day than last week, the shipments by lake were very heavy, and being still in sight are counted in the visible supply this week. — Sid Francis said to-day that he would leave forthe East this week. The announcement caused the market to break an eighth, but it at once recovered when Ben Barnes remarked that he would go too. Said a gentieman justin from Chicago: ‘That Phil Armour is a slick one. Here he is holding August pork at $27 and making the shorts settle at that, if they want to get out. Now, I know that he is filling orders from the South for pork at $16, and selling all he can. Talk about your brace games, that Chicago pork deal is the worst this country ever saw.“ In response to an inquiry, T. O'Connell of Elliott, Iowa, wires Grier Bros.: Most splendid corn crop ever known in Iowa. Same reports from Nebraska. Plenty of rain; none too much.” This.“ remarked Gen. Grier, takes in the whole line of the C., B. & Q. in Iowa." The Markets. FOREXNOON SESSION, CLOSING AT 1 P. u. Wheat had quite a little boom this morning. Re- ceipts were much lighter here, and smaller also in the other markets. Stocks in store, too, did not show an extraordinary increase. The tone of the other speculative centers was strong and prices ad- vanced about Ie. It is true that Eure 1 advices held out no encouragement. The public cables were fd lower for cargoes, though otherwise steady. The home market was 60 above an export basis, as it would cost $1 07 to lay No. 2red winter down in Liver- pool, while the best bid from there was $1 01. But the European demand, momentarily at least, cut no figure. There was an urgent demand and not many sellers. It was not difficult to bull the market under these circumstances, and though prices pursued an irregular course after the first advance, the general feeling was firm and confident, with more disposition to buy than to sell. The close was strong at 76 to le advance over yesterday's close. August sold at 817% to 8 3-8 and year at 2 1-4 to 8&2 1-2 off to 8214, both closing at 821-2 bid. Sep- tember brought 821-2 early, which were all the trades made, but at close 827-5 was bid. October opened at 835g and advanced until after the first call 84 3-8 was paid; then weakened to 83% to N. but recovered to 8444 on noon call, afterwards falling back to 8378 to and recovering to and closing at M4 1-4 to84 3-8. November sold at S 35 early up to 86 on first call, off to &5lg¢ to 855g and back to 86, the close. December sold at 874g. May offered at 98 1-2, bid 96. The cash market was stronger and better in price through sympathy with futures. Sample lots met with readier sale, however, city millers purchasing right freely, though they looked mainly for the best, paying © to 8&8 1-2. Grade No, 2 red advanced 78 tw 1 and was wanted by order and export buyers, Eastern rail shippers taking the other Trades.

Reports to the growing crop from drought and hot weather were extensively ro- ceived from States east of the Missiasipi, and cre- ated a astro feeling. The st reduction in stocks everywhere the very small amount in sight are oe an effect also. Shorts have be- come uneasy, and it would not take much to have © The tone of public cables was Si advance in cargoes to ar- when Chi shot upward this ng she was closely follow by the other markets.

Hay—Was not in such plentiful supply, and as the demand for the best grades was in excess of their offerings, higher prices were realized: lower quali- ties were still dull and prairie quiet, neither showing any change in price.

Provissions were realiy dull, though showing no material change in value. There was a moderate demand, the Sovth having stocked up 8 well during the late advance, and holding off now that the merkets of the North showed weaker symptoms. This order demund came almost entirely for con, and as city packers were not buying, dry sall meats received ecant attention. Pork was still held at $19 for old, and $1950 for new, but no es were made. Lard was not wanted, and the only bid was an indifferent one of 7% for prime steam. Some boxed dry salt longs sold at 1016. but nothing done in loose, which was quoted at 6.30 for shoulders, 10.30 for longs, 10.40 for c'ribs and 10.65 for shorts.

Spots were dull all round and speculative markets were lower with a small business and generally weak feeling. Liverpool cabled an inactive future and dull and drooping spot market, the former exhibited little change during the session, and the close was steady. At Man- chester cloths and yarns were in fair de mand, but nominally unchanged. Future mar- kets on this side opened a little lower and declined until New York had lost3 to 7 points at the close, ana New Orleans at 1 b. m. was 3 to 1 points lower than last night.

In fact, viaues were without material change in desirable cattle of any kind. Common grades, however, were weak, and rates more or less in buy- ers’ favor. Receipts were light, and consisted prin- cipally of range cattle of a fairish quality. Natives of any grade were offered in sm numbers, and were rejected during the opening hours, as buyers, who were mostly butchers and local traders, bought range cattle.

It is hardly necessary to add that the triggers are all set for the cus- tomary row and division in the ranks. “Tue Kansas Prohibitionists are Republicans firstand Prohibitionists afterward,” says the Globe-Democrat. In order to get the horse be- fore the cart it should have said: The Kansas Republicans are Prohibitionists first and Re- publicans afterward.” Emory A. Storrs accuses the New England Independents of being believers in evolution, and calls upon the country to testify by its votes that these men are wrong. The Post- Disraroen has never committed itself upon evolution, but we would go to the stake witha smile upon our countenance for the eternal principle that the square on the hypothenuse is equal to the sum of the squareson the other two sides of a right-angled triangle, although we sincerely trust that this issue will never be forced upon the American people.

Tur Republic of Mexico has granted to Wm. ZIMMERMAN a large subsidy for the establish- ment of his long talked of ostrich farm. Ziu- MERMAN gets seventy thousand acres of land, and $200 apiece for the first two hundred birds brought to Mexico.

Ar Kazan in Russia a little dynamite explos- fon managed by the Nihilists killed a number of people variously reported from ten to a hundred. There is a eomprehensiveness about dynamite in the hands of a Russian revolution- ist which tends not alone to thin out the objec- tionable tools of tyranny, but also to rescue high explosives from the contempt into which they have fallen, through ignorance and unskillful handling. The journeyman, as his name indi- cates, was in old times compelled by law to wander in different lands and learn the methods of foreigners, before he became a master of bis trade. Perhaps there is a suggestion here which might be turned to good account in the art and mystery of assassination, An appren- ticeship among the Nihilists, honestly and con- scientiously passed, might prevent a repetition of those absurdly harmless attempts in London, Curer ov Pouice Brown of Pittaburg has declared war upon the Empire of Austria which, in the person of its consul BHAMBEERG, dering, and the time is not far distant when | | and original idiot of 1884. ties too numerous to mention, charged wlth vio- lating city ordinances in relation to the ob- struction of public streets. How the trial will terminate no man knoweth, but Chief of Police Brown quails not from tin ordeal. Clothed in the simple dignity of American citizenship Mr. Brown might pose as the spirit of the nine- teenth century defying the feudal system. The trial will be a shock to the effete monarchies of Europe and Chief of Police Brown will go into history along with Sergeant Bates, Dr. Tan- NER and the man who struck BILLY PATERSON, with the distinction of being the most unique BUTLER'S LETTER. Sreve ELxIxs bas played his biggest card for the campaign. His old partner in the Mora grant and other big land monopoly operations has come to his rescue, and the Blaine organs this morning contain the voluminous campaign | letter of Ben BuTLER, who was also BLAINE’S partner in sustaining all the monopoly legisla- tion that has disgraced our statute books and in opposing ali such corrective legislation as the Thurman bill. In this letter, to veil his real mission in the contest, General BUTLER tells the Anti-Monopo- lists very truly that they can expect nothing from the Republican party, and that the laboring 1 | j ö ' classes have nothing to hope from it, as twenty- five years of Republican rule in the interest of capital and corporations monopolies have shown. And yet the obvious and sole purpose of his running as a third candidate is to “hive” as much as possible of the Anti- Monopoly and Trade Union vote, to prevent it from being counted for the Democratic electors, and to keep the Republican party in power. by electing BLALNE, the candidate of GouLp and Huntineton. The general opinion that such and national scandals. The first named of these two is now a fugitive from justice. Under Hazen the Weather Bureau's reports have been complained of until people have nearly lost all confidence and interest in them. The tragic results of what the Proteus court called his “grave errors and omissions," led to a loud demand for a court-martial inquiry into his conduct. Without the manhood or conscious rectitude to demand one, HA] managed to prevent the appointment of a court-martia] to investigate his conduct after Secretary Lixcolx had felt constrained to advise the President to order a court-martial. The son- in-law of a leading Democrat who has always prospered under Republican administrations, and wielded a strange influenos in Republican in a small communitv, where everybody knew and could watch everybody else, has become onerous and vexatious to a large degree in a large city. Dying at the Top. From the New York Times. councils, this subordinate was able to defy his official superior, and his case has never been | submitted to a military court. But if that | same mysterious influence can still avail him after all the horrors of those ill-fated arctic | expeditions have pointed so clearly to his care- lessness and incompetency, the bureau over which he presides will become a hot-bed of scandal and a national nuisance. The mystery of HowGaTE’s escape still rankles in the public mind, and any more protecting favor shown to General Hazen will be witnessed by the public with profound disgust. AN old law of Texas which makes it a peni- tentiary offense fora white manto marry 4 negro, has been before both the Federal and State courts in the case of Emit FRANcors, who was convicted, imprisoned and recently par- doned. The courts all held that the law was not in conflict with the Fourteenth Amendment, but some people seem to be of the opinion that the Supreme C might reverse th deci- | plete. ourt ae 9 | vacation of at least two weeks every year, at which sions. The only sentence in the Fourteenth is General BUTLER’s object is confirmed by his | Amendment that can have even a remote bear- boast that he has no opinion to take back, no policy to recant;” that, in short, his present pre- tense of arraigning the Republican party for the measures which he and BLAINE supported as Republicans, is to be understood ina „Pickwickian“ sense. General BuTLER knows very well that all realand effective opposition to the insidious encroachments of to the monopoly policy of a corporation oligarchy has come,and will come, from the Democratic party. In trying to divide the Anti-Monopoly vote and to neutralize a part of the labor vote on the plutocracy and rampant and extreme in its platform bid for the votes of certain classes as he now pretends to be, he is but serving his old masters and his monopoly partners in his old role as a mislead ing extremist. Up to the war he was the most violent and ultra Southern Democrat in the ranks of the Northern Democracy. In assist- ing the Southern fire-eaters to wreck the Dem- ocratic party at Charleston in 1860, he showed his readiness to betray the cause he professed to serve. Asa Republican, he sought ever to ad- vance himself at any cost to the party by lead- ing in all that was most offensively and reck- lessly partisan. Now, as a newly-fledged leader of the workingmen and Anti-Monopolists, he is plainly trying to divide and nullify their strength by inflaming the unwary among them with impracticable ultraisms and leading them off after the shadows of the unattain- able. In plays you always instinctively recognize the secret traitor in the violent partizan, as in CaTo’s little Senate at Utica that impetuous fellow whose voice was still for war, whose impassioned patriotism impelled him to flout CaToO’s wise caution as cold-heartedness, but whose purpose all the time was to betray both Cato and the cause. General BUTLER has figured in that role before, but never so shamelessly and unmistakably as now. THE TEACHERS OF THE BLIND. The eighteenth biennial assembly of the teach- ers of the blind, meets in St. Louis to-day, at the Missouri School for the Blind on Nineteenth and Morgan streets. There is a peculiar inter- est in the work before this body which merits more than passing attention. The history of the education of the blind begins in the city of Memmingen, A. D. 1178, and since that date the care and the training of these helpless un- fortunates has occupied the time of many good and wisg men to the exclusion of all other in- terests. There is yothing in all the catalogue of miseries and blight which can fall upon hu- manity that appeals for human sympathy 80 strongly as blindness. That men should live ever in a gloomy darkness uncheered by a single ray of light touches a chord in the breast of the most unsentimental. We know that life must be for them colorless, sapless and unw holesome, as it is for plants that grow in cellars, And beyond this deprivation there is a practical side to their condition, about which too much can not be said. We all recognize that the struggle for life, growing in intensity with the years, is being bitterly fought out throughout the civilized world; the men equipped fully with all the faculties are daily falling; in the battle for bread the failures are continually more notice- able. What chance have the blind in.the race, handicapped by calamity! Their misfortune is not their fault, and the world owes them, nota living, but education that will end in self-sup- port, The gentlemen who are meeting to-day de- serve honor and praise on every hand for the work they are doing. They should be made to feel how thoroughly their services in the cause of humanity are appreciated by right-thinking men. There are, in the United States, according to the last census, 45,028 blind, of which total Missouri contains 2,258 Experi- ence proves that these can be taught to earn a livelihood,and every conference of the teach- ers of the blind in the past has widened the sphere of work by which the sightiess may live. That the convention opening to-day in St. Louis will follow up the record of the past is not to he doubted by those who know the gentlemen in whose hands this noble work for the blind is held.

By the exercise of much vigilance and detective ability the still was lo- cated and seized by the officers, Yesterday FRANK Woops, who is under a ten years’ sen- tence for attempted murder, was found manu- facturing counterfeit nickels with a full peni- tentiary-made set of plates, and turning out a coin which isdescribed as an excellent imitation of the real article. He had ten dollars,worth of the product hidden in the mattress in his cell when discovered. The cruel jailers destroyed the ingenious apparatus which the poor prisoner had made, and will very probably punish him besides. Itis no wonder that the unfortunate wretches at Chester sigh for liberty, when they are subjected to such galling severity of dis- cipline as this incident displays. Eads Decorated by the Prince. From the London Engineering. The Albert Medal, which was awarded by the Councfi of the Society of Arts to Mr. Jame B. Eads the American engineer, was last Wednesday pre- sented to him at Marlborough House by His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, President of the Society, in the presence ofthe Council. This medal was founded in 1862 in memoryof H. R, H. the Prince Consort, and is awarded annually for dis- tinguished merit in promoting arts, manufactures, or commerce. Thisisthe twenty-first which has been awarded. Among the distinguished recipients of the medals are Sir Rowland Hill, K. C. B., F. R 8.; His Imperial Majesty, Napoleon III.; Professor, Farady, D. C. L., F. R. S.; Sir Joseph Whitworth, L. L. D., F. R. S.; Baron Justus von Liebig; Count Ferdinand de Lesseps; Sir Henry Bessemer, F. R. S.: Sir C. W. Siemens, D. C. L., F. R S.; M.

R S. and Professor Auguste Wilhelm Hoffmann, M. D., LL. D., F. R. S. University of Berlin. Mr. Eads is the first American who has received this distinguished honor. It is the more complimentary to him from the fact that his name was suggested by the Coun- cil of the Institute of Civil Engineers, and the award was unanimous in the council of the society. In re- plying to the complimentary remarks of his Roya Highness, Mr. Eads said that he recognized the award as a token of good will on the part of the so- ciety tov ards his countrymen, rather than for any merit of his own; and the fact would be received by them as another of the many evidences of sincere solicitude for the happiness and prosperity of the United States. and which had been so often shown by Her Most Gracious Majesty the Queen, her Gov- ernment. and her people, and which, he believed. had assured his fellow-citizensthat their kin across the sea were their truest friends, and that the home- ly adage, blood ts thicker than water,“ had lost none of its force because they were separated by an ocean from the land of their ancestors, — — Corporate Suretyship. From Gen. R. A. Eimer’sa Paper Before the Bankers’ 4+ sociation. 1 beg leave to invite your attention to the prac ical advantage offered by the system of corporate suretyship, which is rapidly superseding the old methods of personal sureties in this country, more particularly as applied to the requirements of banks and banking institutions in the matter of security from officials and employes. The system relieves the officials of the bank from looking after a multi- tude of sureties, keeping them informed as to the continued solvency and ability of individual sureties should a claim for loss arise, and substituting new sureties when the original ones dic, withdraw, or be- come ingelvent, The system offers to banks a more reliable and tangible form of security than that of private suretyship, which is affected by death, in- solvency, and other circumstances, The issuance of corporate bonds tends to promote personal bon- esty and good character, as these prerequisites are the materia! conditions on which they are furnished ly relationship, or pecuniary resourcea, The annoy- ance and vexation of seeking sureties on the one other increase with the growth of the § and what was ordinarily a simple act of How@ars and Hazen it bas been a nest of | and without notice to anybody; In enumerating the | What this country needs to-day more than it needs anything else-more than it needs a vigorous foreign policy, or tariff legislation, or many of the other things mentioned in party platforms and the letters of candidates—is a revival of plain, old-fashioned honesty in the public service It needs not only such @ revival but a new elevation of the power of the law. If a public officer, be he Democrat or Re- publican, steals a million dollars his punishment should be as certain as that of the poor man who steals a loaf of bread. The demoralizing and dangerous influence of cor- ruption and dishonesty unpunished, and even shield- ed, in the public service of the Nation, upon every State Legislature, every city government, and the people in every city and village of the land, cannot be overestimated, Justice should be sternly ad ministered at the top, so that the force of the ex- ample may be felt through every grade of public service and among the people at large. Persistent and intentional failure to punish thieves who hold the Nation's offices and the people's trusts causes de- moralization elsewhere and breeds distrust and dis- contént and even communism among the people. What a Good Bank Is. B. B. Comegys to Bankers’ Convention, A bank may be said to be in good condition when it has an adequate capital (not too large); a contin- gent fund at least half as large (and no suspended debt or overdue paper); when its deposits are free of interest and three or four times the amount of its capital: when its dealers supply it with business paper to the extent of its needs; when liberal sala- ries are paid to its officers and clerks; when there is a trained man in reserve for every pesition that may become vacant; when there is a pension fund ad- equate to the comfortable support of its worn-out clerks; when it has a board of directors who are not content to be mere figure-heads, but who under- | stand their business and remember their qualifica- tion oaths—directors who count the cash trequently who insist that every person employed in the bank shall take a time another person shall do his work, and who be- lieve inthis dogma. that “nothing is good enough that can be made better.“ A Loud Call on Solon Chase.

It is all kept very dark, but the talk is that the story has been offered to the Re. publican nationa! committee, and if it looks as though St. John is going to draw many voters from Blaine it will be used in the religious papers controlled by the committee.” Preceding the Desecration Story.

By Telegrawh to the Post-Dispatch. New York, August 19.—The Wong says: Ben. Butler, striking himself proud y on the breast, says to the People’s party, ‘You won't have to defend your candidate. He has done nothing that he is ashamed of. Every act of his life has been under a microscope lighted by the lurid fires of hate and slander. and yet be is unharmed.’ This is nice talk for a bold bueccaneer. It is doubtful whether there isa free man in tbe United States who could be in- duced to trade characters with Butler and take bis ili-gotten wealth in the bar- gain. But the vuliarity of Butler is that, notwithstanding his vast capacity for devi x there is nothing that he could do that he would either ashamed of or sorry for. Sensitiveness is not one of his attributes. And the same could have been said of the late John A. Murrell.” THE SUN. The Sun says: “We don't agree with General But- ler in some of his opinions, With his Hearty con- tempt for humbug, in politigs or elsewhere, his un- compromising demand for the reform of the abuses that have fastened themselves upon the administra- tion of public affairs, his hatred of the cor- ruption that has come to be the main feature of Republican rule, his genuine Americaniam— honest devotion to the interests of American men and women—-and his true Democracy of the funda- mental and enduring sort, the Sun is in thorough sympathy." THE HERALD. The Herald says: Even in the very statement of his proposed swindle, Butler is dishonest and means to swindle his supporters. His fusion with ‘sup- posed minority’ means a fusion with the Blaine men in States with a Democratic leaning in the hope that a union of his vote with the Republican vote will give those States to Blaine. But he dare not tell his supporters the plain truth.“ THE TIMES. The Times says: This address is the culmination of the colossal impudence and arrogance of Gen. Butler, a man whose life has been spent in self- seeking of the most sordid kind, pursued witha duplicity and unscrupulousness without modern parallel. The object of his third party and his cun- ning appealsto workingmen is simply to divert votes enough from the Democratic candidate to elect Blaine, if possible, in pursuance of the treaty he has ente into with Chandier, Robeson and Elkins. This is the sole object of this strenuons et- fort to convince the ‘classes’ who in reality make up four-fifths of the people of the country that oe are so impotent and helpless that they are dom nated by the other fifth without realizing it. He makes the most reckless assumptions regarding the industrial condition of the — and states them as tacts. In short,. he assumes, as usual, that the veople of this country are such fools that they may blindly led by a brazen demagogue, provided he is bold enough and 2 er not to stick atany means that he fanties may effect- ive.’ THE TRIBUNE.

What an Umpire Has to Put Up With and suffer. -_ —_— Games Yesterday—The Mets and Buckeyes Come Down a Notch—The St. Louis Unions Defeated—Maud 8's Rec- ord— Diamond Chips Sport- ing Notes and Sundries, ~~ A sensible piece bf writing evidently from the pen of the veteran Henry Chadwick, recently appeared in the Brooklyn Eagle. The ideas of the father of the game“ are not always to be accepted withou* argument, but all fair-minded persons will agree in his comments as follows: “The most marked feature of true manliness of character is a love of fair play. It isa jewel in the crown of manhood of the first water, and without it all sports degenerate into low and dishonest strug- 4 giles to win by trickery and deception, rather than by bonorad e efforts to excel. A love of fair play. in fact, is inherent in the breast of every man wor- thy of the name, and all such men detest to see un- fair play exhibited on any field whatever, but espe- cially in games where atitietic skill is the chief at- traction, for in such games it is that fair play shines ouf at its brightest.

When two contesjing nines enter upon a maten game of base bal! tbey do so with the iinpled understanding that the trugg e between them is to be one in which their respective skill in handiing the ball and bat and running the bases is alone to be brought into play, unaided by such low tricxery as is Comprised in the acis of slyly cutting the ball to have it changed, tripping up base run ers, wilfully collidiag with fieiders to make them commit errors. hidinz the ball. and other specially mean tricks of the kind characteristic of corner lot loafers in thei: bail games.

But the most strik feature of unfair play in base ball is that which or as sometimes hautes. pearly all of the eight- teen contestants-—undertake to bully the umpire in to rendering decisions in tneir favor. feature in base bali tnatches in the professional! ar- ena, Which, if not put a stop to by strictly observed association laws, will ultimately * an end 10 peaceful contests on our bail grounds. 1 is evil is * ‘vated when a loud-muotlthed minority in the crou d of spectators copy the bad example of the “kicking” class of players and take the business of bullying and coercing the umpire into their own hands.

The Mets were shut out hv a score of to 0. At Téledo the Columbus men fielded so wretchedly —making eleven errors—that ther were easy victims to the “blades, the result being 10to4. At Philadelphia the Athletics gave the Ba. timores a terrible thrash- ing by a score of Z to 1. Tn the Union séries the only the game at Boston, the B ston the Baltimore by a score of 2 to 0. The League resuite were: Cleveland 5, Philade]- yhia 4. at Philadelphia; New York 5, Chicago 3, at ew York, St. Louis Unions vs. Omaha. The battery for the Union Pacifics did their work creditably yesterday, and the result wasa defeat of the Lucas nine at Union Park--about 700 people witnessing the reverse. In past seasons Salisbury was accounted a very fair pitcher in American As- sociation ranks, and was a particularly hard man for the Browns’ old nine in eto bat. He was ad- mirably supported yesterday by Bandle, who was charged with but one trifling error. Their support in the field was generally good, although here were a number of very falpable errors made.

The following is from the last number of the Sports- man and is concise enough to cut out and paste up: ‘len years ago there ran in the paddocks at the great Woodburn Farm in Kentucky 4 chestnut fily, by Harold out of Miss Russell, by Pilot Jr. She was sold as u yearling to Capt, James Bugher of Cincinnati, and by his heirs when a three- year-old to Capt. George N Stone. In 1877 she showed a half-inile in 1:13, and the following — trialed a mile at Lexington. Ky., in 2;17}y. The fame of the young mare was widespread, and shortly after the trial she was sold to Mr. W. H. Vanderbilt for $21.000. She was then piaced in the hands of Carl S. Burr for development. After receiving her lessons she was returned to the coarzeof Cap‘ain Stone and ut to earnest work by her trainer, Mr W. W. Bair.

The following week she trotted against the «ame field, again achiev ing a victory; best time, 2:15 At Kochester, August 12. she started to 2:12.

She then went to Chicago, and on September 16 failed to beat 2:1144 by a quarter of a second . She tr ed again two days after and met with success, doing the mile in 210% This was her last appear ance for 1580. June 30. IS81, she started at Colum- bus, Ohio, to beat 2:17. the best park for the track, and accomplished the mile in 2:14. At De- troit, Juiy. 4, «she trotted an exhibition heat in 2.184. and a week after, at Homewood Par, lowered her record to 2:10. fang to beat this mark at the same place three days afte r- ward The following week sbe was at Chicago, where she failed to beat 2:10. the best mile being 2:11.

Her las ‘appearance was at Rochester, August 11, against 2 ‘lg, which Maude beat by one-quarter of a sec % Rochester performance closed Maud's public career, in a pecuniary sense. In iS®2 she was taken to Charter Oak track, and during the cireult races atthat piace showeda mile to wagon with Karly Rose in 2:25, her first essay in doubie harness. She was subsequently mated with Aldine, and June 15 1883, at the Gentlemen's Driving Park. this city, the team trotted a mile to a road wagon, driven by Mr. Vanderbilt, in 2:15.

This is the true test of « horse's ati ities. In Maud's very first essay she struck fast company, and had no trouble in disposiug of her contestants. Later on she beat the veteran trotters Driver, Charley Ford and Hannis. She outrated the three surely, but they had an im- measurable advantage in experience. The fact of the mare beating such a Hold shows her remarkable mental balance: nor was ner victory due to accident, as she beat the same trio on a second encounter. Diamond Chips.

It ia now pretty well settled that the two engines iu question will be in the building, wherethey will not failto prove an attractive ex hibit. To this end Mr. Turner sugwested that a new engine, Which has just been built for the city at Cincinnati, be brought in here imm, diately, and inced in position in the basement of the Exposition building.

Susan Cook. A SCRAP OF HISTORY. Jobn Harmon's Recollections of a Meeting at Arlington in 1860. From the Detroit Free Presa. “The most depressed gathering of political leaders that [ever witnessed,” said John II. Harmon, continuing his recollections of public men, Was the gathering of Southern Sena- tors and Representatives at Col. Robert E. Lees house, Arlington, in 1560, when it was | decided by them to resign and retire from Con Jesse D. Bright, of Indiana, after- w expelled from the Senate, and myselt were the only Northern men present, do not think the meeting was prearranged; we, at least, had no notice of it, and 1 think none of the others hac. ROBERT E. LEE. „Les, in his capacity as chief of staff to Gen. Scott, had been on duty at Washington for many years. He was rich, and so was his wife, and their home at Arlington was a welcoine re- sort for Southern members especially. Col. Lee aways confined himself to his official du- ties at the army headquarters. Though one of the best-known officers in Washington, he was never seen about th» Capitol, in attendance on the sessions or lounging about any of the haunts of public men. ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, “Every week, usually at the close of the ses- sion on Fridays, it was the custom for the Southern members to visit Arlington, across the Potomac from Washington City, and spend the afternoon and evening. The hospitality dis was simple and elegant; everybody felt at home. pleasant company there. regular thing to visit Arlington that | am sure the meeting of which | speak came about in the | ordinary way without any planning. It oc- curred early in December of 180. SOUTHERN LEADERS IN 1860, “Among those most prominent in the meeting | were John V. Masonof Virginia; Howell Cobb, Jacob Thompson, Ben Hill, Slidell, Jefferson Davis, John C. Breckenridge of Kentucky, then freshly retired from Congress; Gov. Letcher of Virginia; ex-Gov. Smith, better known as Ex- tra Billy; John B. Floyd, Buchanan's Secre- tary of War; Henry A. Wise and Clement C. Clay of Alabama. There were others, but none that I recall as speaking. The subject —4 have been considered by some of thein in ad- vance, probably had been by the leaders, be- cause the air was full of it at the time; the bringing it up at Col. Lee's dinner table was unexpected to most of us, THE PALMETTO FLAG. “Slidell began it, launching out in a regular | speech, in which he advocated the resignation of their seats by all the Southern members. His argument was the impossibilty of the South retaining its constitutional rights-—meaning slayery—under the rule of the North. Ho wanted separation and the 1 of another overnment with a new flag, the symbol to be e palmetto tree. He made an acute legal ar- iyument upon the right of a State to secede, and probably satisfied most of the listeners that— the predictions of nearly al! being that way—as a pure question of independent sovereignity, any State could withdraw trom the Union, if it a0 desired, and there was nothing in the Consti- tution, or the laws, to prevent it. LEE OPPOSES. SECESSION, the idea, and the headlong manner in which Slidell urged it seemed to give him offense. He was the first to oppose the proposition. He made a temperate and persuasive talk, arn while admitting that things looked unfavorable for the continuance of the power of the South and of the institutions in which Southern men were so deeply interested, thought that no un- lawful interference with personal, N or State rights would be attempted by the new party soon to take possession of the govern- ment. WOULD GO WITH HIS STATE. “Several of the ultra secessionists began at Leo, trapped him with questions, and finally got him to say that he was a Virginian and, believ- ing in the old school State rights theory, would go with his State in whatever course she might pursue. This sentiment was applauded.” BRECKENRIDGE, “John C. Breckenridge opposed the secession roposition and a tually shed tears while mak- ng his discourse. He modified his opposition by saying that as Lee would go with his State, he, too, would ‘go with his people,’ meaning the people of the South, who hal given hi im 845,763 votes for the office of President of the United States at the election a few weeks pre- viously. lat beside Breckenridge, told him that Kentucky would never go out of the Union, and tried to persuade him to take no further steps. He felt bound in heart to unite his fortunes with those who had sustained his candidacy, and with much sorrowing did so when the alternative came. DAVIS FOR THE STARS AND STRIPES. “Jefferson Davis also spoke, but did not urge | secession. He did oppose the palmetto flag, sug- that the stars and stripes be retained as colors, and the idea be revolution, not ro- tlion. Davis 1ed that after the original thirteen it was the actio#of the Southern States alone that had put every star on the banner. This was historically shown to be true. New England had opposed the acquixi- tion of Florida and also of pn onan By the latter purchase our territory had been ex- tended to the Pavific, and the * fruits were Minnessto and Oregon, the latter admitted into the Union only the year before. The av- tion of the Louisiana Territory resulted rally in the annexation of Texas and! the California, measures which Davis showed were brought about by Southern in- fluences and sentiment, SLIDELL AND MASON, “Slidell made a second speech in rejoinder and urged the palmetto flag and confederacy ject with beat and ingenuity. John q. Klason also favored the same ba and sup- ported Slidell to the best of his ability.“ VIRGINIA RELUCTANT. ally met would be but one battle and the result of that battle decide the question pe ntly. This opinion was held up to Bull Hun by the South- _erners. They argued that President Lincoln's policy was to risk only one battle and let that settle It, That was the construction which they placed on his proclamation for 75. 000 volunteers for three months’ service. The South quietly took measures to organize “ater force and conquer the first fleld. They iui at Bull Run more wen than Lincoln enlist- ed for the entire Union army. A number of the Southern leaders were sure that there was no fight in the North. Slidell and Mason bragged that broomsticks were a sufficient armament, probabl 7 indulging in this exaggera- tion to make as light as possible of the coming conflict, and to quiet any alarm that might arise if serious resistance were deemed prob- able.“ NOT 19 “Strangely enough, lieved 444 The South did not ap- reciate the Northwest. The only thing they new of it was from its representation in the Senate. They judged it an unimportant and uncouth region, and gave no thought to its trade, resources or development. DELIBERATELY TAKEN. “IT took Breckenridge into the summer house at Arlington after the meeting had closed and adyised him, asone of the younger line of statesman, to cooperate with Douglas and the restand getthe Palmetto flag notion out of his head. . He. cried over the prospect, said it was unavoidable and considered that Washing- ton would be taken by the rebels and two con- federacies be established. He was much affect- ed by the prospect, After the war I accident- um in Canada, and he recalled the | conversation we had in Washington, One was always sure of meeting | It was so much the | 1 mer., and when made over a colored silk “Col.

It his plan had been adopted the slaves would have been freed six weeks before the date of the rociamation for the same purpose which Abra- — Lincoln atterwards issued. Emancipation was warmly advocated in secret session in the Confederate Senate. The measure did not meet with sufficient approval to pass. The extremists oppused it and only a few of the richest and most radical men could perceive the advantages which liberation of the slaves offered the South. The others said: ‘What are we fighting for if not for slavery? and counted it surrend- er to think of emancipation. If it had come from the South at that time, there is reason to believe that the interference oi other nations would have helped establish the Southern Con- | federacy.” Y UBOFP, „Hough on Corns.” Ask for Wells’ “Rout on Corns.” complete cure.

From the Denver News. It was a queer lookin that sat on the Whe only hotel at July. 1864, rude porch of the Eagle, the on) Gulchville, one warm afternoon in | listlessly gazing down the long dusty road over which the stage would shortly make its appear- ance, and whose arrival and departure formed the sing e daily episode that relieved the monot- ony of the y settlement. The judge, who had position 7 ustice of the „ sat with his chair til back — the side of the house, gazing contem- platively on his number eleven which were planted on the plank rail at a sufficient distance apart to permit him to pour streams of tobacco juice with but short intervals between | them, varying the performance by industri- iously mopping his heated forehead with a huge red handkerchief. The doctor, who had once been a farrier in the army, sat on the rail several feet away, swinging his legs in an im- patient way and muttering stupendous oaths at the heat, the stage which was always behind time, and at the Jarge blue flies, whose persist- ent persecution, directed particularly at his red nose, had several times nearly caused him to lose his balance. Poker Joe, half gambler and half miner, in neither of which professions had he made a shining success, bei perpetually deut broke, was leaning against the door-frame in a listless attitude, with one boot crossed over the other as if it was a matter of perfect in- _ differenve to him whether the ever ar- rived or not. Walking up and down the short length of the porch was a man who exhibited a peculiar admixture of impatience and nervous anxiety. clothing, which was well brushed and evidently well cared for, and with a tace that would have been an uneasy and at times, when excited, a cruel glitter in his steely eyes, jus- tified by his whole appearance the name given him in camp, that of Gentleman Jack, the gam- bier. As letters of recommendation or proofs of previous socia] standing were not usually do- manded or expected in the miscellaneous popu- lation that formed the mining camps of those days, but little was known of bis history, al- though it had somehow got bruited in the little community that Jack had been an active par- ticipator in scenes of violence and was wanted in the more civilized parts of the country for his participation in several affairs where men met violent deaths. Although these rumors had gained considerable credence in Gulchville. no one had ever had sufficient hardihoud to question the object of them as to their truth or ) Talsity, as he was known to be a man of violent temper anda dead shot, an accomplishment which always commanded respect in a place where the pistol took the place of law 5 all disputes were settled by its arbitraments. Biting his mustache and kicking from his path a stoo which had failen there, he walked to the edge of the porch ami for the hundredth time glanced down the road. This time his impa- tience was rewarded for there on the rise of the divide could be seen a cloud of dust, through which was presently | faintly visible the long-expected vehicle, which in a few minutes arrived in front of the Eagle with a flourish and dash more befitting a larger and more appreciative gathering of spectators. | No sooner had the stage stopped than there alizhted one passenger, a woman, who, al- ‘though beautiful as an houri, yet had that about her which was calculated to repel rather than attract admiration. With regular features and glorious hair, and dressed in a ueatly-fit- ting traveling suit, she would have attracted attention anywhere. As she left the stage she asked for the proprietor in a musical voice, but with a laugh that was ‘ts heartless as it was uncalledfor. Stating her desire to obtained accommodations for several days, she was | shown within, and soon bad her wants at tended to as well as possiblefor this out-of-the wa place. After Joe, the Doctor, and the Judge had somewhat recovered from their surprise at the advent of so unusual a \isitor as a woman, with one accord they turned to where the gambler was standing, and their wonder was great to see him holding to a post for support, and gas- ‘ing at the door through which the new comer had entered with a fixed,horrified stare, and with his teeth chattering as with the ague. What's the matter, Jack? have you seen a ghost?’ said the Judge. At this the man's feat- ures relaxed, and witha scowl and a muttered oath he turned from the steps, and strode down the road, but with the uncertain steps of a drunken man, and was soon lost to view behind a clump of pines. Of course the new arrival had the effect of her appearance upon the gambler were matters of a great deal of speculation and wonder in the camp, and it was agreed on all hands that there was some mysterious connection between him and her visit. The events which followed verified this in a terrible manner. | Shortly after supper the woman left the camp to take a walk, pursuing the same road the gambler had taken. The exact details of what occurred were never known, but several persons averred that shortly after dark they heard loud | voices, one of which was that of an angry woman, engaged in an angry dispute, near some willows on the edge of the gulch, and a short distance from the road. On the following morning some of the miners, on reaching their sluices, discovered that on raising. the gates the | water would not run. Tracing the ditch back | to the delivery box at the dam, a horrible sight | awaited them. | against the gate was the body of Gentleman Jack with the head in the water and the feet on the bank, and sticking in his heart a keen ivory- handled dagger or stiletto. Attached to it was | the following note, written in a delicate female nd; This man was a robber and a murderer. He effected my ruin and robbed and killed my brother. I have travelea a thousand miles to do this, and am revenged. When you read this I shall be far away. Macare Lawton.” It was afterward found that the stage passing in the opposite direction late the previous night | had picked upastrange woman and carried her to Denver, but further than this nothing more was éver heard of her. ——ñę x ̃ ——-—-— Mermod & Jaceard Jewelry Co., 4th and Locust. Foreign Bloodsuckers, From the New York Life, Free Trade is now putting the last finishing touches to an American industry which appeals directly to our heart. It seems that owing 0 a lack of protection, the American leech is being driven from the market by the European vari- ety. Ten years ago it was a common thing for the American small-boy to go bathing, get cov- ered with native leeches, run home yelling, and have his frugal mother pick them off care- fully and exchange them at the druggist's for a pint of castor oil, and a little camphor and _boneset tea. Thus the times when hookey and its consequences were profitable in the family medicine chest are gone. Now our veins are at the mercy of foreign bloodsuckers, Spanish, Lrish, Norwegian, and the most that our native leech can do, is to get in his fine work on the small boy without the formality of a prescrip- tion. Mr. Blaine should not forget the leech plank in his platform. Felt Relieved.

CAPE COD WOMEN. Blooming Beauties Doomed to an Early Blight. From the New York Sun. said a gentleman of this city, recently returned from a visit to Cape Cod, it exists in the penin- sular Villages of Massachusetts, villages which depend on the fisheries for the support of their inhabitants. Nowhere else in all New England will one see so high an average of female beauty, especially in symmetry of torm and freshness of complexion, as is noticeable among the young | girles of these Cape Cod fishermen s towns, girls ranging (rom 15 to 20 years of age. But it will not take one long to discover the startling and melancholy fact that if this girlish beauty and freshness is unusual and unexpected, it is also only too apparent that its duration is brief. The c » produced in these girls by the lapse * a few years is in the extreme, No matronly graces are to be _ seen among them after their girlhood days are past. womanhood, between the freshness and the buoyancy of the girl of 20 and the woman of 30 or 40, is entirely absent. of the cheeks is gone. and wear a constant look of sadness and anxiety. Gray hair in heads over which a score and a halt of years have scarcely passed, and deep lines in faves which should show no trace of age for 25 years to come, are rather the rule than the exception.

The cause sug- gests itself at once to one who sees the congre- gations of women on the beaches and in the quiet streets of the sleepy villages. He-will notice occasionally a feeble old man among them, generally supported on the arm of some | female compan.on, who, most likely, carries on her other arm a chubby-faced child of lusty lungs.

It is the fishing season, and there are no men or boys on shore. smacks are tossing on the treacherous waters of the fishing banks, and their return, if they re- turn at forms the one great subject of conjecture and apprehension among the villagers. Husbands, sons, fathers, brothers and sweethearts are somewhere out on the bosom of the sea, prob- | ably homeward bound, perhaps steering for still more distant waters, perhaps struggling for life among the waves.

Mott yes- terday to a Post-Dispaton reporter who had been detailed to visit the southernmost section of the city and ascertain whether there were to be seen any evidence of recovery from the dullness into which it lapsed after the closing down of the several large concerns which for some years made it a very lively and prosperous suburb. During the earlier part of his tour around Carondelet the reporter found it impossible to keep the Water Rates Assessor's admonition at hand, as the evidences of decayed manufacturing greatness were so apparent at every turn that all other features of the scene were disre- ee He dismounted from the at The sks” station and at once found Himself in a region which only the presence of one or two very sleepy looking peep saved from preventing the aspect of one of these deserted mining towns which are said to exist here and there in the Rocky Moun- tains. The street he walked up was lined by houses of which hardly one contained a tenant and the absence of the “For Rent' sign on the vacant ones, showing that there was absolutely no hope of rent- ing them, was @peculiarly significant indication of the hopeless situation of the owners. A very large proportion of the houses had been occupied as saloons. The signs of the late proprietors remained but there were no empty kegs on the sidewalk in front, and no welcoming door stood wide open to afford the dusty pedestrian achance to cool off after the methods in vogue among the anti-Prohibitionists. The first evidence of anything approximating business activity was met at Pat J. Egan's saloon, at the corner of Polk and Marceau streets, where the proprietor was found serving a customer to a beer. When the manufacturing interests of the place were at their zenith Mr. Eagau's resort was crowded with patrons early and late, and it was no wondey, when the re- porter ENGAGED HIM IN CONVERSATION upon the falling off in trade, that his expressive face assumed a mournful expression. The — is dead. he said. Out of twenty-six saloons at the Docks, all of which did a good business, there are only left three. Mine is the only dram-shop in this — of Carondelet and the other two are wine and er saloons. None of us are making money. There isn't even an existence in the business, let alone a living. I've been here since the first rail was rolled and I never saw it so dull as at present.“ “I notice that the supply of houses exceeds the demand,” the reporter suggested. “TI own five houses here, for which I used to get $90 a month. Iam now getting about $20 a month for them. The tenants of most of the houses here occupy them without paying rent. There are be- tween 200 and 300 houses around here which are either empty or occupied by non-paying tenants. After the Vulcan and other works closed there was still some business supplied from the docks, but now that they have suspended operations, this part of Carondelet is dead. “I should think that your cheap rent would at- tract workingmen.“ There's a discrimination against usin passenger rates which hinders us from renting our houses. The commutation rate from here to the city by rail is eight cents, while from the Taylor Street Station, ten blocks further north, itis only fivecents. If we were given a better rate than this I think we should be able to rent a good many of our houses.“ “How much population do you think Carondelet has lost by the closing up of the various factories?” “I couldn't tell that but I should say that the stopping of the Vulcan works alone caused us to lose about 10,000. There was an average of 1,800 men employed in the Vulcan anda large majority of them were men of family. They had big amil- ies, too, and I don't think that, counting in their wives and children, there were less than 7,000 souls of them. Then we must include the people who lived off them—the saloon keepers and grocers and others who would bring it up to the number I quoted.” “Are you looking forward to a revival of the man- ufacturing interest? “No, we don’t ever expect to see things running again as they were. It's just terrible to survey the ruin of the great manufacturing business we used to have here. From the river Des Peres up the Mis- sissippi for three quarters of a mile there were AT LEAST 3,000 MEN constantly employed, and now. with the exception of Kilpatrick's foundry, which employs some 200 men, there's hardly a dozen men working along that entire river front. I have spent about $15,000 in improvements here and 1 don't believe I would realize one-third of that amount if I sold.” The nestor of Carondelet is Dr. Frederick Hill, who went there nearly fifty years ago and whose handsome residence on Broadway was built thirty- five years ago, at which time it was surrounded by the primeval forest. From the days that the at- mosphere of the place was redolent only of tbe fra- grance of the pine and the wild honeysuckle he has seen it pass by stages of gradual development until its air was dense with the smoke of a dozen huge factories, giving employment to thousands of men and an impetus to the locality which, it would thus seem, no power was able to stay. Again, he has viewed the passing away of all this achievement and the return of the old and in many respects delight- ful. tranquility. One good thing the temporary m acturing prosperity did for Carondelet and that was to thoroughly advertise it asa leasant residence quarter, and the very large ma- fority of those who went there at the time business was booming decided that, although they might be obliged to work elsewhere, they could continue to have their homes among its pleasant. leafy thoroughfares. Seated in the pieasant shade of the gourd-vines which climb up the walls and all over the roof of the rear portion of his residence, Dr. Hill was well able totake a very philosophical view of the situation and it was quite a valuable lesson in the art of making the best of everything to hear the gentleman describe the use and fall of various local enterprises to Which be had given large pecuni- ary support, and wound up each descriptive episode with such a remark as, I dropped $15,000, in that.“ or “It cost me $10,000 before I got through with this air.“ “When running in full blast“ the Doctor said, on being requested to give an idea from memory of the capacity of the various industries which once made Carondelet such a busy place, “The Vulcan used toemploy 2,200 men. Their monthly wages account used to amount to from $100,000 to $115,000. The Ship Yards and Marine Railway used to pay out $40,000 to $50,000 a month. The Zink Works paid out 000 to 60,000; the Rock Quarries, now doing we ittle, about $20,000: the Iron Moun- tain Machine Shops. now moved to De Soto, about $47,000 a month. The Carondelet Zinc Works em- oyed about 700 hands; the Meier Iron Works about ), and the South St. Louis Furnace about 200. All of these HAVE CLOSED DOWN or, if any of them are in operation, it is in an insig- nfficantiy small way. About the only concerns now running here are the Missouri Furnace, which gives employment to about 120 men; the Glendale Zinc Works, 75 men, the Western Iron Boat Building Com- pany, which formerly employed 250 men, and now = rs about 100; the Car fing Company, an ood Preserving Company, 50 men: the Sec- tional Dock Company, which formerly employed 400 men, and now employs 60 or 70; Kilpatrick's foundry, 200 men, the Proyident Chemical Works, 38) men; the Elevator. 40 men, and the Klausman Brewing Company. The manner in which manufacturing property bas shrunk here can be readily appreci- ated when I tell you that the South St. Louis Iron Works, which we built at a cost of $900,000, are for sale to-day for $100,000 to any one who wants to buy them. The Vulcan Iron Works cost $4,000,000, but I would not venture -to 1 what the owners would part with their property for under the present state of affairs." Conversations were had with several storekeepers, who looked at the present condition of affairs in a philosophical spirit, and were almost unanimously of the opinion hat the uncertain prosperity of a manufacturing town was not by any means as de- sirable a thing as they had once regarded it. On the whole, the believed that it would be a better thing for delet if the Vul- can and other big concerns did not again assume op- erations. “We hope to see Carondelet become a popular residence district,” one of them said, “a 1 where the people whose business interests are St. Louis will come and live with their families.

From his comfortable street in the steam-car he is regaled on one side with a view of the river, on the other with a sight of bluffs which almost rival the palisades of the ud- son in their height and bold beauty of contour. The man who starts from the business part of the city and takes the train for bis home in Carondelet reaches there faster than the one who goes out to his home near Grand avenue on the street cars. believe that in my speech the advantages of Carondelet I exhausted all the advantages but those become apparent ina search of the residence por- tion of the place made on the basis of a regular house-hunting expedition. Just make the experi- ment and give us a candid report in the Post-D1s- Patcu of what you find.” The challenge made by the store-keeper was readily seconded by an invitation from Mr. Fred Mott to take a buggy ride with him around the resi- dence portion of Carondelet. It was accepted, and in a few moments the reporter was being rapidly piloted about the place behind the Water Assessor's dappled-gray three-minute roadster Chauncey I. With a pardonable pride in the park, which is shared by all good Caronde ters. Mr. Mott directed the roadster's steps in the direction of that very delight- ful resort, and for ten minutes the reporter's eyes were gladdened with a charming succession of natural landscapes whose beauties had been en- hanced by the magic hand of the a gardener. Along the hard cinder park road the bnggy flew,turning round short curves each of which revealed a fresh piece of loveliness in grove, or lake. or lawn, or flower bed. We have residence sites here for hundreds of houses.“ Mr. Mott said. as the buggy drove out of the park, “and every one of them shall be within a few blocks distance only of the park. or railroad depot.” The principal resi- dence streets were passed through and every now and then the reporter's guide would direct his at- tention to AN UNOCCUPIED RESIDENCE of the five or six-room order, with lawn attach- ments both in front and rear, calculated to make the occupant of a city res we yearn for semi-rustic joys. Only the city house-hunter, familiar with the ins attendant upon the quest of decent accommo- Ration at a Wi rice, can understand the sen- sations that arise when | possibility of securing such a residence as has beer described ata rental of $15to $20a month is made apparent. There are many such houses distributed about Carondelet and why on earth the peopie do not take advantage of the opportunity at present afforded in the city’s Southern suburb is a mystery. The very conficurat of the place is a standing in- Vitation to the family man to go South and grow up with the suburb. From Broadway, which is the business street of Carondelet, the land rises in a of several blocks. and gentle slope for the dist any house built upon this ivity is certain of re eeiving the full benefit: “outhern breeze, which here comes richly the fragrance and freshness of the over which it has passed. By thet » Southern breeze has reached the Court he lost considerable of its freshness, and even to the inhabitants of the Grand avenue neivhborhood it comes more or less contaminated with the ke and dust of the six miles of city over which it has fown. As a manu- facturing center Carondelet may have seen its best days, but as a residence ty it is, as soon as its advantages are more widely known, certain to be- come deservedly popular. 1 — * A Mn.
