Wasuixerton, August 21.—The national dudes are just now attracting a good deal of public attention. It is a somewhat curious fact that every branch of the national service, from its head down, has its dude. The Cabinet, the House. the Senate, the army, the navy, and the noble band of Government clerks, all are afflicted with this article, in a greater or lesser degree, Of course the last named branch of the service has most, for itis the largest in numbers, but they are sufficiently numerous inall the ranks of Government service. Whether the fact that the head of the Government, President Arthur, has been accused of being a dude has anything to do with this is dificult to say, but it is the fact that the ser- vice, from the White House down, is thickly be- sprinkled with them. Two or three of the most notable examples of them are just now ehjoying a run of special notoriety. Probably the most talked of in the whole list just now is Wm. Walter Phelps, the dude of the House. Here heis, bangs and all, It is a curious fact that one of the keenest and most experienced men in the Congress of the United States, who has been Minister Plenipotentiary to one of the greatest nations of Europe, should not only so carry himself as to provoke this sort of criticism, but insist upon the liarities after he has nm informed -h the public prints a thousand tithes that he throug is *“*the nacional dude” because of them.

Over 12,000 Visitors Assembled in Belleville, Ill. Details of the County Convention Held To- Day—Fred. E. Scheel for Circuit Clerk and Dr. Woods For Coroner— Other Nominations. Carter Harrison, accompanied by the Cook County Demoeratic Ciub, arrived in Belleville at 9 o'clock this morning on a special train over the Cairo Short Line. The Reception Committee, accompanied by a hundred citizens on horses, met the candidate for Governor at the train and escorted them to the City Park. The various Democratic clubs of Belleville joined the pro- cession and marcyed through the principal streets of the city. The Cook County delegation wore white ug hats,and presented a splendid appearance. fhe business houses of Belleville, irrespective of the political preferences of their proprietors, were deco- rated with flags and bunting in honor of the occa- sion, which proved to be the greatest event of the kind ever held in Belleville. It is estimated that fully 12,000 are in Belleville to-day. THE DEMOCRATIC COUNTY CONVENTION assembled in the City Park Hall at 10:80 a. m., full delegations from all the precincts of St, Clair Coun- ty being present and East St. Louis presenting two contesting delegations, each clamoring for recog- nition by the convention. Hon. Herman G. Weber, chairman of the County Central Committee, called the convention to order. Fred Scheel Secretary of the County Central Committee, read the call, after which Mr. Weber nominated Colonel Adolphus Engelmann, of Shiloh, as temporary chair- man. No other names being presented, Mr. Engel- mann was unanimously = elected to the position, Each of the contesting dele- gations from East St. Louis presented a candidate for temporary Secretary,fbut the chairman ignored their claims till their contest was settied. G. W. Hill of Fayetteville, and E. A. Woelk of Belleville were selected as temporary sec- retaries. The chairman then appointed a commit- tee on credentials, consisting of one delegate from each precinct, to decide which of the delegations from Fast St. Louis were entitled to recognition by the convention. During the absence of the Commtttee on Credentials Nic. Perrin, M. Sparks, M. W. Schaefer and others spoke on the issues of the day. Mr. Weber moved that a committee of three be appointed to wait on the Committee on Credentials and request that they bring their labors to a close, as much im- portant business awaited the con- vention. The motion was carried and after afew minutes’ absence the committee returned stating that the report would be ready in a very short time. The committee on credentials reported a few minutes before noon recommending the admission of the first delegation selected at East St. Louis which effectually crushed the Bowman element. The report was adopted,only one, Hon, M. A. Sulli- van,voting in the negative. Nominations being now in order, Fred. E. Scheel of Belleville was nominat- ed as Circuit Clerk.

No nomin- ation. Considerable changes were made among the delegations before the second ballot, Mr. Canty receiving six less than the number required fora nomination. The second ballot was taken amid considerable excitement, Mr. Canty receiving 88, Schember 9, and Yaeger 35. The nomination of Canty was made unanimous. Mr. Louis Graner of Belleville was nominated for Surveyor without opposition. Belleville presented James M. Dill for the Legislature. Mr. Dill was’nominated by acclamation, Mascoutah presented M. M. Steph- ens of East St. Louis, and although his own city op- posed him, he was nominated by acclamation. Mr. Stephens thanked the convention for the honor, but deciined the nomination.

A SPRINTER KILLED, A Quarrel Before a Foot Race Ends the Match, WILKESBARRE, Pa., August 23.—Thomas Brennan and Fred. Hurst were matched recently to run a hundred yard foot race at Hazleton this afternoon for $1,000 aside. Sporting men from various parts of the State met at the Hazleton House last night to attend the race.

Hayward. A Government Clerk Who Lives in the Branches of a Tree Through Choice— A Talk With the Hermit--How He Lives and Looks. By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch. Wasurvetor, D. C., August 23.—In the little vil- lage of Mt. Pleasant on the suburbs of Washington, there lives an eccentric individual, who, doubtiess, wisbes his name to be linked with the innumerabie caravan of cranks that will go down to a limited posterity. To those who visit him out of idie curi- osity and register their names in an album which he keeps for that purpose, he gives a card on which is inscribed the following: “Mr. WILLIAM B. HAYWARD, “Array CasTLe, Mt. PLEASANT.” He is known in the vicinity as “the man up 4 tree” although his pedigree has not been traced far enough back to enable him to be identified as the legendary ‘‘manup a tree’, Who always saw thing: in such a_ peculiar light. This second St. Anthony with all the modern improvements, is a man abont 45 years of age, with a dark.swartli complexion, long black beard slightly tinged witht gray, dark hair, gray eyes, inclined to be restless, and heavy knit eyebrows that meet in a dark ridge pone over the bridge of the nose. He is tall, well yuilt, and has but one arm, the other having been lost in the late war at the battle of Shiloh. He holds a position as clerk in the Pension Office, but ashe is quiet and uncommunica- tive little or nothing is known of his antecedents ex- cept that he served in the Union Army and was honorably discharged. He says he hag ALWAYS LIVED ALONE, and in an abode similar to his present one. His home is situated on a biuff bordering a small stream that is tributary to Rock Creek, about three-quarters of a mile from Brightwood. He has leased a small plot of reaned land, in the center of which stands a huge oak trce, and in the top of this tree is his house. About ten or fifteen feet from the ground is a small platform built around the trunk of the tree and measuring about seven feet in diameter, the tree itself measures about four feet. Through this is cut a small trap door large enough to admit the body of a good-sized man. About seven feet above this platform is another, whose dimen- sions are about 10 feet square, A neatly-constructed pair of steps, withasmall rail and banister, lead from the lower to the upper platform. On this latter a tent is pitched, and here is the home of this recluse crank. A correspondent of the Post-DispatcH, who was told casually that there wasamanat Mt. Pleasant who had been living up atree for over a.year, formed a party of four and drove out to the piace indicated, expecting to kee some poor benighted tramp, who had takenrefuge inthe hollow of an old tree, and virtually made it his home. It was about sunset when the party passed over the hill top, where the ruins of the old Colum- ban College lie a little off to the left, and dashed through the picturesque village Passing the cross-roads that lead respectively to the Soldiers’ Home and Bright- wood you follow the main road, which further on turns slightly to the left, and mo a gentle hill, at the foot of which hes the small stream crossed by Grant's bridge. A hundred yards this side of the bridge there is a arrow pathway leading into the woods. Here the drag was dropped, the party alighted and proceed- ed to follow the pathway above indicated. A min- ute’s walk and the hut of the hermit perched in the tree tops broke on the view. A thin line of blue smoke curled above the tent from a black pipe nts pny above the top. Thefront of the tent, 1alf open, faced toward the roadside, and perched stool, with a long reed pipe in his mouth, the well-defined outlines of the jay bird of the forest were plainly visible )within the tent. He evi- dently saw the party approaching, and rising from his seat came out upon the platform. In a few min- utes he divined the intentions of the party, and descending the staircase to the lower platform, opened the _ trap. let down ae small ladder and politeiy invited us to ascend. Beyoud a passing remarkon the beauty of the evening, he 6aid SCARCELY A WORD until we all stood within the tent gazing intently about us. It was furnished in a plain, neat sty) suggestive of the utmost cleanliness and Scomfort Three hair rugs covered the floor, a small foiding @0t and clothes chest stood in one corner, while a stove, wash stand, several chairs, atable with a student lamp upon it and several other household articles were scattered here and there about the room. Before an opportunity was afforded to ask any questions he requested us to sign our names ina register on the table and in return handed each one 4f his cards. He then asked us to be seated. “What induced you to adopt this method of living?’ asked your correspondent. “It is the one I prefer,’ he answered rather abruptly, “How long have you been here?” “A year last April.” “Where did you live before coming heref™ “In the West.” “Where?” “In the far West!" “It is said you were in the war?” “I was.” “In what regiment?” “The records at the War Department will show you that.” “Where did you live before the war?” “In the West.” It was. quite evident he intended to give no _ information as to his anteced- ents and besides the questions seemed to annoy him, 80 the driftof conversation wasturned. He said his only attendant was an old darky woman who lived across the road, and who cooked his meals aud took care of the premises while he was at his office. He had about 300 names on his register, and among them some well known society people, who had been drawn to his retreat, while out driving, from sbeer motives of curiosity. He said he had not suffered to any extent in the winter, as his tent was practically water-tight, and he always managed to keep a good fire in his stove. Hie had led an outdoor life from his boyhood, and hated to be cramped up in the city during his leisure hours.

Alexander Sullivan went to New York this afternoon to speak in Prospect Park, Brooklyn next | of Patrick | Thursday. The recent letter Egan, declining to accept the salary fixed by the iate convention for the president of the league has led to some the contrary isthe case. Sullivan never received a cent of compensation directly or indirectly. He visited twenty-two leading cities of the union during his term of office, and in many cases paid his own expenses, in no case did he accept com tion. It was his knowledge of these facta which caused the convention to attach a salary to the office, When Sullivan declined re-election, he did so knowing that a salary was provided for the ensuing year, THE ALBION BANK.

MAIL ACCOMMODATIONS, The Post Office Desaieeeaid Orders a Conference on the Subject, * - — A Suggestion of a Sub-Station at the Bridge for Down Town Merchants—Another Plan to Utilize the Tunnel— What the Authori- ties Say. Down-town business men will be gratified to learn that the Post-Dispatcu has not agitated their griev- ances with respect to poor mail facilities in vain. Postmaster Wells stated yesterday that a requisi- tion had been sent to Washington to procure larger mail boxes for certain sections of the city, the pres- ent ones being entirely inadequate for the proper handling of the mail deposited in those sec- tions. To-day Gen. Edgarton received a letter from the Postmaster-General detailing him to meet the Hon. W. B. Thompson, Superintendent of the Rail- way Mail Service, and confer with him as to the ad- | visability of constructing a sub-station in the bust- ness center of the city. Mr. Thompson had written to the Postmaster-General suggesting that a sub- station be placed at the St. Louis end of the bridge. where several incoming mails from the East could be received, distributed and taken to the main Post Office ready for delivery half an hour sooner than at present, and the Post-master-Gener- al. in his letter to Gen. Edgarton, authorizes the establishment of the office in the event that Mr. Thompson and Gen. Edgarton deem it necessary. GENERAL EDGARTON said: object of our con- ference be to arrange plans for expediting the collection and distribution of the mail in the business section of the city as agitated in the Post-Dispatcs.”’ “And that will be best done by a sub-station, will it not?” “Well, [have not fully made up my mind on that subject yet. You see this letter of Mr. Thompson calls for a station at Washington avenue and Third | street, and Iam of the opinion that other arrange- ments could be made which would be more satisfactory.” | “What are they?” “T favor larger mail boxes and collections hy wag- ons. the tunnel could easily be utilized to receive morning mails and I don't know but that his plan is a good one; at anyrate I will meet Mr. Thompson Monday, and we will then devise some means for bettering the facilities in the lower sections of the city." The reporter next called on Mr. Harlow and asked him his plan with regard to the tunnel. “There is nothing new in it’ he said, “and I think it is entirely practicable. When the tunnel was built, you may remember the government paid some- thing like $100,000 to have it widened atthe point where it passes the Post Office, the plan then being tomake areceiving depot directly beneath the building for the receipt and delivery the mails. That plan now admitted is of the smoke from laek of ventilation and second on account of the extreme sharp curve in the tracks at Washington avenue. The trains could not well stop at this point unless they were very light.” “What then is your plan?” *We have two doorways on Eighth street leading from the tunnel into the area of this building. We could put up a large electric light at this point that could be plainly seen by the mail agenton the approaching train, As the mail car passes here the bags COULD BE THROWN OUT without the train stopping. run through the sub- basement to the elevator and landed on the distrib- uting table in the office from twenty to thirty min- utes sooner than we now receive them from the Union Depot “You would have men always on watch then?” “No; there would be no necessity for that. I should propose that we have direct communication | by telegraph or telephone with the dispatcher'’s of- fice at East St. Louis. As soon as a train leaves ' there to cross the bridge we would be informed of it here, and that would give us ample time to get men down into the tunnel before the train reached here.” “How about trains from Union Depot?" “Well, we do not propose to receive any mails from there. though that might be done in the same way. The trains from the depot we could utilize to dispatch the greater part of our sup- plementary mails. By erecting a crane on the other side of the track the mailagent on the car could take off the mail bag by means of a catcher, just in the same manner that it is now done at most of the minor stations along the road.” “Would this save much time?” “Not as much as in the other case, and therefore I do not urge it so strongly. We could dispatch these minor mails in about seven or ten minutes sooner than now.” you think of a sub-station at Washing- “What do ton avenue?’ “I think it would be the best thing we could have, provided—and here comes the difficulty—the Gov- ernment gives sufficient money to run it properly.” “Would it cost very much’” “Not so much for the station but the cost of run- ning it properly might be a trifle expensive.” “What plan would you propose te facilitating collections in the business portions of the city?” “By all means larger boxes and wagons. The present ones were putin St. Louis ten or twelve years ago and are now behind the times. Say we could have an extra large box at the old Post-Office with one ortwoin other sections. Then give the that the fire engines and patrol wagons now have. We could start them from here two or three times aday andhave the mail in the office ready for dis- | tribution from ahaif to three-quarters of an hour sooner than now. Why some of the | down town carriers are now carrying two satchels, and come here with from twenty to | forty pounds of mail, Compreneny tired out. Under the new system: they could be devoting their time to other matters about the office, while they are now out collecting.” It is probable, as General Edgarton says, that ev- ery plan worthy of consideration will be received and discussed, and either a sub-station or some per- |manent arrangement that will answer the same pur- pose be adopted, and put into operation as soon as possible.

Who the Candidates Are and Who They May be—The King in Control of the Primary Arrangements. SS The somewhat odorous element of which Dr. Lutz is a worthy representative, have obtained full control of the Congressional Committee of the Ninth District, and it will not be their fault if the nominee of the Democratic party in that district is not satisfactory to the ring. Pursuant to arrange ments’ mentioned in yesterday's Post- Dispatcn the Congressional Committee met in the afternoon, and it was soon developed that Dr. Lutzand his friends had made very careful ar- rangements to insure that the two vacancies in the committee be filled by the right men for their pur- Mr. Dausmann favored the election of com- mitteemen from the Third and Twenty-seventh Ward by.a viva voce vote of the committee, but Dr. Lutz thought it would be better to fill the vacancies by a secret ballot, and in this be was sup- ported by Messrs. Butler (sonof Ed), Keevil, Ryan and Saville. The course of the last two in frater- nizing with Dr. Lutz was something of a surprise as they had hitherto been regarded as the anti-ring men. For the Third Ward vacancy, the Lutz faction nominated Thos. F Fitzpatrick, Mr. Ryan acting as their spokesman, and the opposition nom- inated Jos. H. Tiernan. The above-named five voted for Fitzpatrick, and he was elected. For the Twenty-seventh Ward vacancy the five nominated Heury F. Mitchell, and the opposition, seeing it was useless to make a nomination, made none. Mr. Mitchell was elected, and the COMMITTEE ADJOURNED next Wednesday afternoon. This leaves Messrs. Wilkerson, Dausmann and McGrath a rather lonesome minority in & committee of eleven, wherein they doubtless supposed they were ofa majority, and it makes very roug sailing for any candidate for congressiona)] honors in that district who fails to make terms with the ring. The majority of the controlling element in the com- mittee favors the candidacy of Mr. John M, Glover, who will receive the full sup- port of the machine, which is regarded as very valuable so far as the primaries are con- cerned. Who his rivals for the nomination will be is still very uncertain, as the situation shifts from day to “w. Juige J. J. Lindley is strongly urged, but has thus far refused to enter into the race, because it involved such a sacrifice of his business interests and because the chances for fair play at the primaries were very uncertain. He would have the undivided opposition of the entire ring element. Governor Campbell, who was recent- ly tosome extent in the gubernatorial race, will have, it is represented, the very earnest support of that portion of the ring which is represen by Cc, C. Maffit-—namely the Tenth Ward support, which, together with the stre that Gov. Campbell would have in the anti- ring element might give him the nomination. The Governor would, moreover, have the backing of Messrs. Caruth and Bannefman, and the influence which they represent, it being generally understood that Mr. Caruth has not been a very zealous supporter of Mr. Glover since one | day the latter sent him a bill of $500 for attorney's fees growing out of police board troubles, and since the coliection of the same was enforced after Mr. Caruth'’s protest by a threat to bring suit within twelve hours if it was not id. D. R. Francis could have the support of a little section of the ring element in addition to a large support from respectable peopleif he were to make the race, as Mr. Butler is quoted frequently as having declared himselt a Francis man in a question between Fran- cis and Glover. Edward C. Kehr is talked about, but is indisposed to run, and is assured the FULL OPPOSITION OF THE RING in case he does. All things considered, W. R. Don- aldson is generally conceded to bethe man who would make the strongest fight, he baving had no part in any of the controversies which racked the party so badinthe Ninth district during the past two years, and he being, mvoreover, very popular in the district, where he bas made a good business rec- ord. He has been absent from the city for some time, and at the time he left had refused to allow his name to be used. it now appears to be probable that the opposition will wait upon him and urge him strongly on his return to make that race. The latest Republican aspirant forthe Ninth Dis- trict nomination is R. B. Brown, the wholesale oil dealer, who is well provided with the sinews of war, and is regarded by the committees as a good pigeon to pluck. Either he or Mr. Chapman will prove yery acceptabie to the professional politicians, IN THE EIGHTH DISTRICT the fight has not yet opened up at all. Sessinghaus is regarded as a possible candidate, but he says no. F. A. Pollard, H. L. Rogers, Chas. G. Stifel, J. K. Cummings and John Wahi are all mentioned as Re- publican possibilities, but they all declare they are not in the race. on. Jobn J. O'Neill has little, if any, opposition in his own party, and is in the race today. The Democratic Convention of that District will meet next week, and will fix the date of primaries and convention, IN THE TENTH DISTRICT the Democrats are taking matters very easily. The Republican Convention will be held at Lronton on the 26th, and will have before it the’ name of arles Manistre for certain, the name of Maj, J. C. MeGinuiss, pos- sibly, and the name of Fred. W. Mott, probably. A very flattering call has been made upon Mr. Mott during the past few weeks by the people of Caron- delet, as well as St. rancois and Jefferson Counties, but if he intends to make the race hehas avoided indicating that fact to the public as yet. Should he go before the convention he would probably get the nomina- tion without difficulty, his active participation in po- litical affairs and his service as secretary of the State Committee having made him well known.

At hours of the night he would arise and chase his visionary enemies ali around his room. His halluci- nation became so marked this afternoon that he was induced to go to the Chestnut street station and enter a compalint against the spirits that were troubling him. When he got inside he was taken in charge of by the police and arrange- ments were made to send him to the Dispensary. He is about six feet in height, of average weight and is about 4 yearsold.

From the Springfield ( Maas.) Republican. If the weigh of Gen. Butler's candidacy outaide of Massachusetts is measured by its weight here, it wil be very small. He willhavea vote of some thou- sands, but we should not be surprised if it does not go over 15,000 or 10 per cent of the vote he got last year. There will be towns in which he will not get a vote, and inquiry at this time reveals the fact that his support will be slim everywhere except possibly in those cities dominated by the most ignorant and lately imported vote. Now, why is this? In the first place, everybody of average sense and of any acquaintance with public affairs, whether Democratic or Republican, knows that Gen. Butler isa humbug, pure and simple—that he bas no guide but egotism, no conviction or understanding of public questions and nothing intelligent to pro- pose as remedies, if remedies be needed.

Consequently, the offenders received little biliet-doux this morning, notifying them of $1 fines. The charges against Bob Nicol and Oswald Graves were “general cussedness."" Joe Matthews, who meekly submitted to having his hat knocked offsix times, without raising his voice or hand in protest, was astonished to find that he was fined $1 for his forbearance.——N. Ream & Co. of Chicago wires Golsan, Coit & Co. that latest cables report Paris weak and 1 per cent lower, with orders to sell wheat in New York.——Henry Poole of Chicago sends his opinion to Col. A.

Then he exhibited a bill be had rendered to toa city miller for wheat sold him. The total amount of the wheat bill was about $630. The miller had returned nearly eve lot sold him, given his own weights at the mill, charges drayave of over $28 30, and then made out his k for something over $52, which was all he was willing to pay.—The hay cropin the East is said to be afailure. Shippersof hay at points in Illinois have received orders from different New England States forall the hay they can ship.—— Look out for dull speculative markets next week. Sid Francis left last night for the East, and to-night Theo. Bowman, Jim Barnes depart forthe North. The Wall Street News in their latest issue,says that Jay Gould is said to regard the advent of Chicago speculators, namely Nat Jones and Wm. Renm, with great satisfaction. He is said to have supplied these gentlemen liberally with stocks tely, and among the items aliowed them to secure 20,000 shares of Union Pacific at top figures. Mr. Jay Gould will undoubtedly pluck these sharp Chicago speculators and thus deplete his nest which has bee lately rather badly torn up by the bear raids made upon him.—— acGinnitie and Ben The Markets. FORENOON SESSION, CLOSING ATI P, M. Wheat was firmer at the opening. The only rea- son given for this strength was “forei complica- tions” arising from war supposed to imminent between France and China. Receipts were nothing extra, and cables sung the same old song of dull and easier markets and 6d lower for cargoes. The war news (?) failectte hold the market up long, and the crowd seemed to make up its mind there was noth- ing in the speculative horizon to buy on. The course of the other markets a them in this belief, and after the noon call there was a neral rush to sell. The weakness, duilness and depression on the cash market brought out also all the bear ideas, that is, a good many operators have lain dormant for several days or a week past, and the market in showed great weakness. Prices better at 84, and soon S4h¢, then weakened, selling irregularly for some time between 8834 and 837-8, but after the noon call declining steadily and finally closing at 883-8. August sold at 82 1-4 to 82, and year at 82148 to 81 7-8, with latter bid at close for each. Septem- ber sold at 823g to 8&2, and November at 8534 down to 85. December brought 87 on first call. May sold at 9434 to 0474. at close was offered at 9414, The usual Saturday dullness in sample lots was intensified to-day by an utter indifference shown by city millers. It was one of the worst, if not the worst market, of the season, Good milling wheats went begging at lower prices, Millers culled the best of the offerings, and bought them at their own prices Grades were very weak, and all below No. 2 held largely lower, and after shippers bought fairly on the call were very dull.

Corn was again very dull, very little speculation going on | y and ordersfrom the outside being inconsiderable. The market wasrightsteady during most of the session, indeed, showing considerable strength at times. Late, however, there was a genera! giving way in price of all the markets, and this weakness extended to the home market. ices eased off and the close was weak at from about the same as _ yester- day's close to gc lower. August sold on noon call at 4914. October fluctuated between 47 1-8 and 47 1-4, opening and closing at 47 1-3. November sold at 41 1-8 (1-4c higher) to41 1-2 at close. Year sold at 88 1-8 i 37 7-3@38 1-8 to at 83. May brought in the day, but the best bid at close was 40, Sep- tember had 4874 bid early, but was offered at that later, with 4854 bid. There was not much offering in the cash line, and neither was there much of any inquiry. Lower prices were offered and in order to make sales holders were forced to accept them or carry their stock over.

Oats—Unlike the other grain markets, oats were firm and impr>ved in price.

Me. BLAINE now wears & dhudeen instead of a plume in his hat. POKER hells do not flourish west of Jefferson avenue, the western boundary of the Central Police District. Tue Trades’ Pageant on September 3 will be viewed by the largest throng of people ever as- sembled in St. Louis, Ln the midst of the excitement and worry of a pole-cat campaign, who stops to think that getheticism, as a philosophy of living, is dead? And yet that is OscarR WILpDkr’s painful state- ment to an English interviewer. AMONG the assets of WARNER & MERRITT of Philadelphia are nearly $200,000 worth of bananas. When we consider what one-half of the mere peel of one banana can do for a solid man, it is no wonder that WaRNER & MERRITT slipped up. “WHEN the serpent is about to swallow its prey it covers the animal to be eaten with slime, thus facilitating the process of degluti- tion,” says ZJail’s Zoology. Can this account for Brother Dana’s besmearing of BUTLER eleven years ago? — _—- —_ ~— CHANDLER was engaged in partisan campaign work, and it was strictly in the service of the Republican party that the Tallapoosa was en- gaged when she was lost. If Mr. CHANDLER does not make the loss good, it should come out of the BLAINE campaign fund. The New York Commercial Advertiser, one of the monopoly organs that are working for BLAINE by whooping for BUTLER as the only true friend of the workingman, has lately cut down the wages of its printers from forty to thirty-five cents, and is now fighting a_ strike. Mires EMMA ABBOTT hms returned to America, after hiring a party by the name of GouNop, to write an opera for her. Miss ABBOTT will be remembered as the prima donna who was vaccinated on her ]1—imb, and for some time after the only article of her apparel that would fit her was her parasol. ‘ War between France and China is almost as- sured. The heartless conduct of the miserly Chinese in declining to indemnify France for her losses while murdering Chinese citizens and burning Chinese towns, will draw the sympathy of all good men everywhere to the side of the tricolor in this holy war. ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS is the price of a wife's affections at Mexico, Missouri, as dem- oustrated by the recent suit of MODISETT vs. McPIKE. sulted in a verdict of one hundred dollars dam- ages. But then, the first instance was a Mis- souri girl, and that makes a good deal of differ- ence, A similar case at Indianapolis re- aD Tue Government's loss was Jonun Roacn’s gain when the Tallapoosa went down—a man of war sunk by a collision with a little coast- It has been charged that the Repub- -~ —_— ~—- ing vessel. lican policy was“‘‘a navy for repairs only,” and that the repaired vessels were used only for junketing and fishing frolics, It seems that we have hardly any vessels left that are fit for even that service. A el ET EE RE Tne Peace Convention now meeting at Mystic Park, near New London, Connecticut, ia very much annoyed about the probability of war between France and China, and the presi- dent has telegraphed Marquis TsENG and Presi- dent Grevy, imploring them to arbitrate. The convention has also resolved that the United States must not annex any ‘more territory, and that no more dynamite explosions must take place in England or Russia. We infer that a motion to the effect that the moon is made of green cheese was voted down after a very practically begun, and the end thereof is not easy to predict. One thing, however, is toler- ably certain; that if France goes too fast and teo far in this latest phase of her aggressive foreign policy, she is liable to bave England to deal with. The Anglo-Chinese trade is im- mense, and England will protect it at all haz- ards. John Bull did not ram opium down John Chinaman’s throat at the point of the bayonet, to be cheated out of the proceeds by the bellig- erent proclivities of JOHNNY CRAPEAUD. —————— eo Ma Hiwry CrawForn is accused of clan- destinely appropriating one hundred dollars’ worth of meals, the same being the property of the Fifth Avenue Hotel in New York, and se- cured by Mr. CRawrorp by running a hundred separate blockades into the dining room. Mr. CRAWFORD was waiting in the metropolis for emignment to duty on the ep Sepa publican State Commities, and his Gruwal and “| io * eS "ee er + 7. aT” aie 5 aie , enterprising scheme for self-support, instead of being made the occasion of partisan obloquy and reproach, should be held up as a bright ex- ample of a victory over poverty and circum- stance, won by modest brains and pluck. Mr. CRAWFORD will yet make his mark. THE FIFTH DISTRICT MUDDLE. The Republican this morning admits that Mr. WALLACE was the strongest man in the Fifth District Convention, admits that he had amajority of the delegates with regular cre- dentials, and admits also that he was wronged, but manages to reach this strange conclusion: There is one way, we will Botsay the only way, out of the trouble, and that is a sacrifice on the part of Mr. Wallace. It would be heroic in him to with- draw from the field and abide his time, which will surely come, for there is no popular feeling more lasting and determined than that which demands the concession to a candidate of anomination which he was wrongfully deprived of on a previous occa- sion. Now, the rump convention which nominated Mr. GRravVEs contained but twenty-nine of the sixty-eight delegates with credentials. These twenty-nine, six less than a quorum, under the direction of a committee opposed to WaALLace, undertook to organize the District Convention by disfranchising a sufficient number of the Wallace delegates, on pretense of a contest. There was no pre- tense that Wauuace had failed to carry the legislative district from which the larger num- ber of the contestants hailed. The ground of the contest, the fact that the delegates were ap- pointed by the Jackson County Convention, was as valid to unseat all of the thirty-nine delegates of Jackson County as it was to unseat any one of them. The proposed action was simply a declaration of the right of the twenty-nine delegates from Lafayette and Johnson to substitute contestants for any or all of the thirty-nine delegates ap- pointed by the Jackson County Convention, and to deprive Mr. Watuace of any or all of his delegates, although he had carried three out of four of the Jackson County districts, and the county by a large majority. The Congressional Convention broke up in a row over this point, and Jackson County’s thirty-nine delegates, with regular credentials from their County Convention, and with a primary vote of 4,671 for WALLACE at their backs, withdrew and nominated WALLACE. The twenty-nine delegates from Johnson and Lafayette proceeded, without a quorum, to manufacture a quorum by admitting contest- ants, and nominated GRAVES. On this state of facts the Republican calls on Mr. WALLACE to play the hero and rely on the martyr’s crown fora future reward. That is queer heroism which surrenders the rights of the people, submits to what the Republican must admit to be a wrongful deprivation, and supports a man wrongfully nominated by a rump convention which never had a quorum of accredited delegates. It seems to us that the only fair way out of the difficulty is for the State Central Committee to decide and declare in ae¢cordance with the facts, that there is no regularly nominated candidate for Congress in the Fifth District, and that both candidates ought to-withdraw simultaneously and refer their claims back to the Democratic voters of the district at a primary election. This Mr.W aLLACce has offered and Mr. GRavEs refused to do. — —— THE POKER HELLS. The one public poker room in the Fifth Po- lice District was last night broken up by Cap- tain FRANGEL, and the players and outfit captured, The conductors of the game were not wise, they should not have gone west of Jefferson avenue. There seemsto be an un- written law that the gambling houses of the city must locate themselves in the Central Police District if they desire immunity from the law. It is a matter of public notoriety that games of poker, with a regular percentage for the bank, are being kept at. sev- eral of the leading hotels and _ behind different easily found saloons within a radius of halfa mile from Fourth and Pine streets. Perhaps if Captain FRANGEL were moved to the Central District he could discover and close these hells, Beyond the fact that the law is clearly against these robbers’ roosts, stands the fact that it is a good law and one for the protection of the community. The game-keeper is in the nature of things a robber—the earnings of the banker at any one of these games will average $1,500 a month. This money is contributed by a score or so of young men who cannot afford to pay this percentage. They are clerks and em- ployes, men on salaries all of them, many having the custody of other people's money, many face to face with poverty at home, and shame and disgrace at their places of business, desperately returning to the gaming table in a vain effort to win back their losses. And there are hells to suit all pockets from the dollar limit game at the middleclass hotels to the five and ten dol- lar game at the first-class ones. If the police did their duty this crying evil would cease. If the police need detailed infor- mation as to the location, ownership and pat- ronage of the hells, all that is necessary is to gather from the crowds in the bucket-shops during the day the history of the poker of the night before. There is no secret made of it. Perhaps the only men about town who do not know the exact location and means of entry to these places are the police. Ee ee THE TALLAPOOSA BUSINBSS. If the Tallapoosa proves a total loss, the pub- lic pocket will be tapped to the tune of about $1,000,000, at the very least. Ifthe vessel is raised and repaired the cost will probably be not less than 8500,000. In either case the amount may be changed to the already largely overdrawn account of WiuiiamM E. CHANDLER, Secretary of the Navy, who is also indirectly responsible for the four lives lost, each of which is quite as valuable gs his own. The Tallapoosa is a Government steamer, built by the Government's (people's) money, for Government purposes exclusively. CMANDLER has been using ber all summer pre- | d : ce ’ ' i» tae . .

While the subject of the floral dis- play is under consideration it will be a to state that. with the electric light presen the x tion will be able to make « better night Na flowers than was ever before gotten together in the West, There is no other agency so fatal to flowers as gas- light. Under its malign influence the hardiest of flowers fade and die, and when it is considered thas in gaslight, bowever bright, the full BEAUTIES OF COLOR and form are never brought out, while the electrie light increases their htness, it will be seen that the floral department will be unique, both in regard to its size and the vantageous circumstances at- tending the exhibit. Tnere will be many other grate- ful loungin spots but, Thaps, the most popular of all wi the ante-room of the exhibition hall. This is situated on the western end of the northern nave, and isa large chamber about forty feet square. There will be ar a restaurant for the sale of ice cream and other light refreshments of a like na- ture. The room is close behind the spot where the band will be situated, and the male escort who fails to invite his fair companion to a sojourn within its walls will need to be either a brilliant diplomat or an insensate clod. The place is going to beauti- fully decorated and, large as it ia, it is doubtful whether it will be able to supply accommodation for all its patroas. For those who have attended some of the exposi- tions of other cities, the fact that the Arsenal band with its large repertoire to draw upon for variety of programme, brings a very delightful assurance of the absense of maddening musical monotony. With out particularizing further than to state that the ex pomeee in question belonged to a city built on @ ake shore, it may be stated that when that crude, but well patronized show was opened, the delighw of music were, of course, among the attractions of- fered. The band, selected from local musicians, played two programmes, one for the afternoon, the other for the evening. It played the same pro- ge throughout the entire season, and many cit- zens, who would have liked to enjoy the other feat- ures of the show, stayed at home so as’to avoid the torture of the too-oft re strains. Seven years later one of these citizens, who had been absent from the place in the meantime, revisited the Expo- sition, and was laying himself? out for a pleasant time, when the band struck up, and began unfold- ing, one by one, the same old tunes that they had oo out 60 many years previously. The quality ) e ARSENAL BAND'S MUSIO is too well and . w warrant any ion make an effort to e equal to the grap in store for them, but a gentile hint to the effect that the old songs which were sung long years ago occa- sionally pall « mn the palate may not be out of place. ring the month that the Exposition will be open fo the public the band will be listened to by a larger myn Ena than any single band ever before en , aod variety as well ag excellence should season the musical repast. NOTES. The arrangements for the pocice building from fire wo cheniical engines will be used, one of tioned in the association's building, on the eaat aj of Thirteenth strees, the other inside the building yper. A vast supply of hose will be distribu Brcushout the building, and 12% fire buckets will be judiciously placed about the naves. The secretary's permanent office, on the corner of Olive and Thirteenth streets, is nearly ready for oc- cupation and itis expected that Mr. Johnson will move in there next Wednesday. Officer Pickett, the sole er of police power in the buildings at present, doing fine work, but now that valuable property is being brought into the building, the diréctors are recognizing the neces- sity of giving him some and this will be done next week.

Brockmann of 233 Argyle avenue report ed to the police yesterday that he was greatly ap- noyed by three boys. Chief Harrigan issued an or- der for the arrest of the offenders under the im- pression that they were grown-up offenders. This morning the culprits appeared in court in neat,clean waists and knee breeches, with glossy faces and their soap curls as carefully arranged as when their mother’s improved fore-finger curling stick was withdrawa from the locks and the finishing touch of the brush given. With open mouths the boys stood amazed at the array of blue coats and brass buttons, They shrank from sight at the ap- pearance of the long line of their fellow defendants as the procession from the hold-over to the dock wound its way through the side aisles. When the man with the hammer rapped on the desk and « valling out, “Oh yea! Oh yea! Oh yea!” scaring everybody so badly that they took off their hats, Willie Dado, Eddie Woodsand Willie Head, the above described cu'prits, huddled close to their re- spective mothers and shook with fear, When their case was reached the Judge was inquiring a little raspily as to the whereabouts of the defendants, when the clerk informed the court that they one at the bar, which was #o high that it ry them from view.

Warner, the missing president of the sus- pended Albion Bank. They spent nearly the entire day in Wall street inquiring into the speculations which the runaway banker had been carrying on there. They ascertained he had done business through a half dozen different firms, and enough evidence was secured to prove he had lost heavily in some of the enterprises in which he had em- barked. Ex-Judge Burrows, when called upon at the Gilsey House, gave an interesting story of the troubles of the Burrows family and the history of and his disappearance. my uncle,” said he, a merchant of Albion. ty and business tact he accumulat- a large f ne. In 1839he established, under the State law, the bank of Albion, with a capital of $50,000, In 1864 it was reorganized and became known as the First National Bank of Albion, its cap- ital being increased to $100,000. A. S. Warner en- tered institution first as office boy; then he arose to the tion of book-keeper, cashier, and finally upon the death of President Burrows, March 19, 1650, e succeeded to the management of the in- stitution. In his will my uncle left property amount- ing in value to about $1,000,000, his, after the death of his wife, was to be divided {nto four equal the surviving children and grand- ecutors were + viz: A. B. Warner, William R. Burrows, the son of the deceas- ed, der Stuart, his son-in-law, and the widow. Mr. Stuart soon followed his father-in-law to the apy bee William Burrows became so dissipated as to y incapacitate him for business transac- tions. Therefore the entire management of the es- tate fell to Warner, and to him the heirs went when in need of money. About a year ago, the son, Wm. S. Burrows, became acquainted with William R. Calkins, who had formerly been in the employ of H. H. War ner, the kidney cure man of Rochester. By him he was induced _ to embark the Craig Kidney Cure in Boston. William put some $45,000 into terprise, and kept calling for more money until Mr. Warner complained that HE HAD ALREADY OVERDRAWN his account'and must desist. Last April Mrs. Stuart, the daughter of Mr, Burrows by his first wife, re- ceived a letter from Mrs. Burrows, the widow, who was then in Richmond, Va., saying that a colored servant of her son William just arrived there for of wedding a beautiful octoroon. He had called upon her and informed her that her son was lying dangerously ill at the residence of Mr. Calkins, No. 383 Beacon street, Boston. This ed her, and she immediately wrote to Mrs. Stuart. his daughter-in-law, at Albion, ng her to visit Boston and ascertain why this inte ce had been concealed from the family. Mrs. Stuart, accompanied by Mr. Warner and my- self, visited the house where William lay and were informed by a druggist from Newtown, Mass., Arthur Hudson by name, that he,as the attending hysician, refused to permit us to see the patient. be next day, however, I induced Mr. Calkins to rescind this order and we were admitted to the sick man's room. We found him sinking rapidly from what the ‘druggist’ declared to be ‘enlarge- ment of the liver.’ I demanded a council of physicians. After some opposition on the part of both Hodson and Calkins I succeded in securing one. These medical men who participated in it declared that the patient was not suffering in the ieast from the disease for which the ‘druggist’ claimed to be treating him, but horrified us by asserting in the most positive manner that young Burrows was being slowly but surely poisoned to death. Nothing was eaid to either Calkins or the but I employed Prof. Wood of Harvard University to make a chemical analysis of the case. He confirm the worst suspicions of the physicians by finding quantities of arsenic in secretions from the patient's body. It was found that his limbs were wee | paral- zed and swollen to an enormous size. I ordered is treatment changed, and, my wishes being com- lied with, scarcely had a week passed before vast mprovements in his condition became apparent. A day or two laver, however, we found that young Burrows had been poisoned again, and that he was in an almost dying condition. ThenI went to Cal- kins and told him that I must have the patient re- moved. He interposed the objection that William was too ill. Froma nurse who attended Burrows learned that Calkins had declared that should any attempt be made to remove his ner from the house it would be done over his dead body. I nevertheless secured apartments at No. 311 n street, tele- graphed the mother to come on, and while both Mr. and Mrs. Calkins were absent from the house se- cured the services of some men and carried Burrows to his new quarters. A day or two after his removal Mr. Calkins requested an interview with Mrs. Stu- art. He secured it, and in it HE INFORMED HER that Mr. Warner was speculating heavily in stocks that young Burrows had conferred upon himself (Calkins) a power of attorney so far as his kidney cure property was concerned, and that a codicil had been added by which he had also been made executor of the youn man’s will. Mrs. Stuart asked to see the will. He brought it to the house one day,andreadit to her. She asked him if he would be willing to read it in my presence. He d he would not without an order from Mrs. Burrows, the mother. Just at this moment I step in, and Mrs. Burrows demanded that he should read it in my presence. Hedidso. His hes- itancy about _ ~_ to me was, I think, owing to the fact that he had previously told me that no ch had been made in the will since 1881, before he went into business with young Burrows. At this time it was claimed, too, by the wife of %{r. Bur- rows, whose mother, by the way, is a niece of A. 8. Hatch of this city that Calkins, when her hus- band was called away on business, turned her and her children from the house. This Calkins denied, however. It would have been a fortunate thing for him pecuniarily at least perhaps, had voung Bur- rows died at his house. For then, it having been ascertained that Mr. Warner had been untrue to his trust as executor, it would have been such a nice thing to succeed him in that enviable position, you know. But Burrows didn'tdie. He was removed to the Hotel Oxford, where he remained several weeks under the best of medical attention. Last Mon- day we took him back home to Albion. There he is to- day in a very critical condition. He, I believe, cannot recover, and if he does, he will have no use of his limbs. On sy ey be Albion myseif I informed — of the fact t Calkins had intimated he BEEN DABBLING IN STOCKS. Warner apntgnantiy declared that Calkins lied, and I believed him at the time. Ifear lam mistaken now, however. At that time I asked him if he had ever rendered an accounting of the Burrows estate. He replied that he had not. At the request of Mrs. Burrows, sr.. I ordered him to do so. On June 9 an order was granted by the court, directing War- ner to show cause on the 23d why he should not ac- count for his stewardship. Warner did not ae on that dey. but came to me the day after and begged a sixty days deiay. One of thirty days was agreed mpon. The order was made returnable on the 15th. e, belonging to the Burrows estate as collateral in his speculations. To what amount and mop grees his losses have been, I can not say. I do not k he has risked any money belonging to the bank in his hazzardous enterprises, nor can I tell pen ses rt jcular stocks he dabbled. e was in this city 1 believe, on the 7th inst. Since date I have notraceof him. I am surprised at his action, as he had hitherto apecer on't the soul of honor and x y- the depositors in the bank lose a dol- zee i sha io with ean who ay relations and poses.

V————————_ By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch. New York. August 23.—The first organized Butler meeting of the campaign occurred thisevening at Botanic Hall, in the east side of the Jewish quarters, It was widely advertised as a meeting at which the Hebrews would cast of . all of the old parties . and boom fo Butler.

The National Committee has unanimously decided to pursue the Kilkenny cat course in the campaign, and the Carsey faction refuses to recognize or speak to the Roonev faction. The meeting to-day was & sorry burlesque. onina mood no for the Vermont State ticket, with election day only two weeks distant. It was not that Mr. Edmunds would manifest any great enthu- siasm for Blaine, whom he dubbed “Gould's attorney” four years ago, but it was ho he wonld lay aside his personal feelings, and heip make a showing in September. The Democrats claim to have gained at least 4,000 votes in Ver- mont, and while conceding the State to Blaine they say his majority will be very small. FORAKER'S VIEWS. Judge Foraker of Ohio, was in a very serious mood at the Fifth Avenue Hotel this evening. “I never saw such enthusiasm in my life as is displayed for Blaine and Loganin Ohio” he said. “All our local issues and differences are adjusted and we are ahead to success. As sure as that the sun i to-morrow, St. John _ will 10.000 to 12,000 votes, trength of the Prohibitionists, but Gen. Butler has little or no following. Neither he nor St. John will draw enough votes from the two old parties to affect the result.

The enthusiasm of the Germans throughout the State in favor of the Republican nominees is prising, Tue friends of Hon. John F.

The lull in trade in Union Market the past week was very marked, and the dealers could not explain it except on the ground that it was the calm before the gastronomical storm that will break about the time the Exposition opens and the city is flooded with hungry visitors. There wasa lively drop in chickens the early part of the week on account of the continued heavy receipts, but within the past two days the supply hasbeen materially shut off, and the prices have jumped to $2 and $2 75 per dozen. The finest select dressed spring chickens, large and healthy, sell at 30c apiece, while the pick of the coop go at Zc. Thecali for grouse was not as great as expected and the unwelcome truth seemed to force itself on the marketmen that the princi consumers of the untamed fowl are just now absent from the city. The restaurants’ demand was spasmodic and the indicationsare that there will bea lot of sour birds left on the market. It is pretty hard to walk around the city and find a first- class box of eggs, and, as a result, the scarcity has raised the priceto l5c, some pope dairymen going so far as to say that they will be held at 17 1-2c fore September comes. The cool weather of the last two days has generated an appetite for steaks and the listless appearance of meat stand is beginning to wear off. Cutlets have scarcely been thought of, and the reign of the roast and rib is evi- dently drawing near in. The persistent little blackberry has finally dleappeared. and its place is taken by grapes that are heaped up in great a. sion, placards announcing two pounds for fifteen cents of the inferior quality, the best retailing ata dime a pound.

London Standard, July 2: “A novel spectacie, and one not without its pathetic features, was pre- sented on Kensington Fields, Liverpool, when the fa- mous Wombwreli's menagerie passed under the ham. mer of the auctioncer. The menagerie was founded audience. Menagerie proprietors and ealers in wild animals, agents for zoological collections and circus managers assembled in considerable numbers to witness the dispersal of an establish- ment which claims to be the oldest one of the kind in the world. The first score or soof “lots” were small animals, which found a rapid sale at good rices, and the numerous collections cf birds fol- owed. The proceedings assumed greater interest when the larger animals were reached, and espe- cially when the handsome African elephant Em- ape was pat up for competition. He is said to ” two inches less in stature than Jumbo, which, of course, militated against him. He was knocked down for the low price of £100 to Mr. George San- ger, who hascertainly secured a bargain. Imme- diately afterwards came the feature of the day —the sale of the lions and lionesses. The menagerie is noted for its specimens of the king of beasts, and headed by noble old Wallace, a veteran who has for ten years been before the public, with credit to him- self and renown to the show, they yesterday one and all looked in the pink of condition. Wallace, it is satisfactory to state, will not pass out of the family, as he was bought in by Mr. James C. Edmonds at the price of £200, and, in all probability, will be added to that eentleman’s menagerie, which is now traveling on the continent. Mr. Edmonds also bought for £370 two young lions of 18 -monuths, sons of Wallace, and four young lionesses, For the pair of performing lions, Prince of Wales and Duke of Edinburgh, both 4 years old, the sum of £275 was realized, the purchaser being Mr. Hagenbeck, and the same gentleman bought Hannibal, a 6-year- old and very handsome forest-bred beast, for £175; Alexander, his mate, for £105, and Princess, 4 years old, for 100 guineas. The f-year-old for- est-bred lioness Victoria, with her litter of cubs hy Wallace, was bought for 165 guineas by Mr. Bostock, who also purchased at the owrice of £120 the royal Bengal tiger, Poontiah,. For all these lots there was active competition, and the sales were very brisk. A group of four performing leop- ards also evoked smart bidding, the lithe and sleek- coated animals eventually being disposed of to Mr. Ginnett for £210, that gentleman also taking over, at 60 guineas, a very tame leopard. The great rib- nosed, blue-faced mandrill was sold to Mr. Hacen- back for £130, and another member of the monkey tribe, a fierce hamadriad, or Thoth baboon, more popularly known as the Lion-Killer, and, as the catalogue stated, supposed to be the sacred baboon of the Egyptians, went to Mr. E.

The Madison Square management has fn consid- eration a play by Guy Carleton, called “The Lion's Mouth.” e place is a comedy of the hich class order, and written in blank verse. Mr. Carleton is one of the most picturesque writersin this country, and has already written a tragedy called **Memnon,” which has attracted great attention by reason of its vivid word painting and poetic treatment. He is at present writing funny stories for Life. It is not un- likely that “The Lion’s Mouth” may be definitely accepted by the Madison Square and produced later on. The management is favorably disposed thereto, the only question being whether it is advisable to bring out a blank verse piece at a theater which has hitherto been devoted to plays of the modern type. Miss Minnie Palmer and her manager. Mr. John Rogers, gave a banquet recently at the Grand Hotel, Liverpool, to a party comprising about fifty friends of the actress,many of whom went down from London especially for this occasion. Mr. Rogers made a fervid and flowery oration, in which he held out the hope that Miss Palmer might return to England and appear in comic opera instead of mel- odrama. Mr. Rogers, proceeding in his speech, had the bad taste to claim that Miss Palmer was the first and only American artiste whose season had proved a financial success fromthe first to the last day of herengagément. He said that during the fourteen months of her professional tour in En- giand she had never lost a week, and the houses in which she had played had never been com- pelled to close their doors a single night in conse- quence of poor business, This reference to certain occurrences in the English career of Lotta and Miss Anderson is severely commented upon by the dra- matic critics in the papers. Western cities are not alone in unique style. The following description of “Sieba’ is from an Eastern exchange: “The plot begins in the Scandinavian heaven, and after running the audience through hell, ends in the Hungarian brothers’ idea of Paradise. Wodan sends a magic sword by Sieba, one of his favorite Walkyries, to the young King of Thule, who poawes so fascinating that that the Walkyrie fails in ove with him and kisses him while he sieeps. For this, Wodan locks her out of the pearly gates when she comes home late at night after her spree with the King. The prime minister steals the magic sword, defeats the nation’s enemies and makes him- self King, while the real sovereign is off ona lark with his angelic mash, Sieba. Then the devil gets in his fine work, but after the ballet angels are let loose Wodan relents (probably fearing them more than Satan). and compromises by taking back Sieba and letting in the King Harold as a first-class angel, too, thus rearranging the whole plan of the Scandimavian heaven by whacking up the loveliness that he origin- ally claimed as his own exclusively.” George Vandenhoff jr., died of consumption at Bennington, Vt..

St. Louis Post-ispatch, Saturday, August 28, 1884. THE OLD PIKERS. _—_—_————ee -- .... - Incidents In The Boyhood of James Broadhead and John B. Henderson. eS ~~ CO / Pat Dyer and His Cutaway Pants—Dashing, Mashing Kob Campbell's Early Days—Reminiscences of Pike County Emigrants. Spectal Correspondence of the Post-Dtepatch. Bow.ine Greex, August 22.—A great city, the metropolis of a State, draws much of its strength and material from the surrounding country, just as a great river assimilates the brooks and rivulets naturally trioutary to itself. It is a very striking fact that this freehold, known as “Pike” has contributed more men of brains and energy, more rough diamonds to 8t. Louis, than any other county in this State. I could men- tion a score, but at present will only mention some points in the earlier eareer of the prominent few. James O. Broadhead of today, is in strong con- trast to the “Jim” of forty years ago. Gawky in the extreme, and slow to find expression for his thoughts, upon slight acquaintance he suggested the idea of hcaviness, and Othello’s words, “Rude am I, and little blest,"’ etc., might have been applied to himself. With his intimate friends much of this clumsiness disappeared. To them he was 4n ear- nest, thoughtful young man, with more opinions than he usually expressed. At this period, Bowling Green, Pike County, im- the agined herselfthe Athens of America, and, in truth, villagers were an unusually ntellectual people for a Western frontier country. They were proud of themselves individually and collec- tively, but proudest of all were they of their “de- bating society." The brilliant-speeches and wither- ing arguments of the members of this institution were acknowledged to be only equaled and not ex- celled by the honorable gentlemen at Washington. Of this society, Broadhead was an energetic worker and faithful member, but of all the “orators” he was generally admitted to be the most tiresome and prosy. He was always ready to “debate” either side of the question. Though logical and method- ical, he was rather a bore. The Judges would say that Jim made a poor out, but might improve. At a convention held in this same little village two or three summers ago Broadhead, being present, was urged totalk to the friends of his youth, as there were many in attendance who had not seen him for twenty-five or thirty years. It was a heated and an excited multitude which he addressed, but his sen- sible, emphatic words, his kind and forcible man- ner made a strong impression on every hearer. As @ young man Broadhead was very much of the *‘one idea type." This may or may not be a character- istic now, but in those days the absorbing interest he took in whatever claimed his attention was a marked trait. He was not a suceptible youth but still did not es- cape the universal fate of man. Cupid came to him iu the form of’a very interesting, petite, dark-haired that time teaching the village school. The lady could not be induced to regard our Jim as a possible lover, and scarcely realized his attachment. It is said by good authority that his love letters were much admired as literary ef- forta, and that the fond swain, at this time sadly neglected the Debatiny Society. Just fancy the Hon. James QO, Broadhead in a dingy village office, seated ata pine desk, on a three legzed stool, snuffing the “sperm oil” candle and writing supplicating epistles to his “ventlie gazelle... The idea would make even the “Fionn. Dr. McLean, M. ©., St. Louis, Missouri.” smile. This youthful love, however, was spurious and soon died a natural death, Many years have elapsed Kentucky iri, at since Mr. Broadhead ceased to be a Piker, but ofd settlers remember that young Broadhead was an honest man and sincere friend. In spite of tifcse many years they believe that he stil! cares for his old home and associations. ‘Twas here he won his reputation as an excellent lawyer. It was Pike that first acknowledged his talents, and last, but not least, Pike was the home of his wife. who is a member of one of the oldest and most intelligent families of this beautiful county. In another section of the county. ata less remote le, 4 JOHN B. HENDERSON'S star began slowly and steadily to ascend toward the zenith. He wasfirst brought to the front as the teacher of the “Deestrict Seboo!.” Schools were scarce throughout the country at that time, and the person who was considered competent to assist the voung rustics with their blue-back speller, and old MceGiuffey's render, was an envied mortal. He could defy Webster on orthography and be received with a smile of approbation from the trustees who hired him for twenty dollars a month. The trustees, in this case, did not wait upon John in a body, soliciting him to to accept the honor they desired to confer. But he was determined to teach that “deestrict school.” and probably worked as as- siduously for it as he now would work for the Presi- dential seat. He was competent, no doubt, they said, but young a chap for’ such a ear gyn besides had he not been a pupil of thissame school? The big boys would walk over him and the girls would laugh at him. It was inthis instance that Henderson took his first lessons in ee (He had long since taken his decree). Heinduced a friend of his, in whom the trustees had much confidence, to apply for the school. They gladly employed him. A short time before the day for beginning the school ar- rived, the health of his friend suddenly failed. John came forward and kindly offered his services—just to help the trustees out of their dilemma. They were gratefully accepted, Thus John B. taught his first school, and well pleased were his patrons. The cabin in which this school was taught was situated in Calumet Township. on the old Merriweather homestead, now in the possession of H. V. P Block. To make this narrative idyliic. it should be chron- icled that he was admired by the count lasses, That statement would be more beautiful than true. He was rather unpopular than otherwise and sel- dom appreciated, He did not court their favor or attempt to make himself agreeable in that pleasant, chatty way that young ladies so much relish. In spite of this indifference, John fell hopelessly in love with one of his pupils—the brightest aud plumpest girlin school—and the unhappy and trying ex- rience of Ichabod Crane, the hero (*°) of Washine- Sons Irving's Sleepy Hollow. was to some extent the experience of John. He could sigh or smile just as he chose, but the lassie would only laugh at the sandy -haired boy. Refore he attained his majority, he had convinced Pike Countians that be was a man far above the average, zealous, indefatigable, with much stick-to-it-iveness and unconscionable egottam —that is, he believed in himself, an excellent thing in man. His friends, appreciating his talents, wanted to push his claims to a seat inthe Legislature, but his youth was again the Scylla and Charybdis of his success, Ther say that he once remarked that his head was old if his years were few. He was but little more than & when chosen to represent his county inthe Lecisiature. That is the only time he ever represented Pike County, though he remained here many vears afterward and was pre-eminent- ly the lawyer of this pertion of Missouri. In fact, many persons regarded his knowledge of the law as almost super-human. Once upon a time a suit was dropped when it was discovered that Henderson was on the other side. While serving his State as United States Senator, he brought his wife, a beautiful bride, to Louisiana. I was one of the villagers, and my admiration for her lovely blonde curls was profound. I was young then and those curls entangled my heart. During his residence in Louisiana, the Senator was called upon by the members of the Lyceum to read an original article on “Finance” at their next meet. ing. e citizens were delighted and thought it quite sage, but the college girle—who were granted apecial leave to attend-—-were sadly puzzled. A pupil on being asked for ber impression of the lecture, re- lied that it seemed to be something about “nota- jon. and enumeration: Like many other Americans, Henderson was, in his bovhood, apprenticed to a tradesman, and it is quite probable that he enjoys the distinction of hav- ing heen boro in a cabin. Of ali the wholesouled, talkative, verdant youths that have started outto makea fortunein days gone by, DAVID PATRICK DYER deserves to wear the belt, When little more than a boy he came all the way from Lincoln County up to Bowling Green to make alawyer of himself. He took up lodgings at the City Hotel and after aacer- taining what a month's board would cost him he ac- cu divideal the amount by thirty; after supper each evening he promptly paid to the proprietor the exact amount of the day's expenses. Somewhat as- tonished at this unus: procedure, the landlord de- manded an explanation. Pat readily informed him that it was bestto “ ray as you go” and not take any riaka. Upon this principle, Pat would have deducted one-third had he been invited out to supper, and add- edo ne-third had he eaten two dinners. This story has been tn active circulation for many years—it may be fiction, but there is no fiction about the cutaway-pants that the youth wore up from Lincoln.

Even now be holds a larger place in their hearts than any one else—resident or non-resident. Having gotten above high water mark, he has always lent a helping band to those struggting below, Many young men made him their mode:, When a boy was seen standing erect, carry- ing his shoulders well, or taking prodigious strides he was soon reminded by some observer, that he was “trying to act like Colonel Dyer.” As a stump speaker Dyer was pleasant in his manner, rather witty, and always good tempered, if he attacked an opponent he did it in a sharp but gentlemanly way. While not given to flights of eloquence, he held the attention of his audience by his lucid lar and,sound ideas. This genial and easy style was a natural gift, for as far back as the cut-away-pants cra Pat wagged an eloquent tongue and rather liked to make 4&4 speech. While ‘living in this county, he ran for Congress inst Switzler of Columbia. Both claim- ed to be elected, both drew the salary, but.Dver came out ahead, ashe took the seat. At that time Dyer was a very young man. ROBERT A. CAMPBELL & birthplace is only a few miles from Louisiana, Pike County. The son of aclergyman and well to do farmer, he did not find it difficult to establish himself in bis native county as a lawyer. Ambitious and well educated, he had much in his favor, though, like the proverbial preacher's son, he had a few wild oats to sow. He wasa remarkably handsome young man, with good address Young men of his own age admired him extravagantly and considered that he was born under a lucky star. The young ladies of the times were attracted by the “dashing, masbing Robert’ and the old ladies were always his firm friends. Pike showed her apprecia- tion of him by returning him a number of times to the State Legislature. He has, in fact, received — patronage, and held public office at intervals or many years. During the late war when quite a young man, he was in a position where had be been 80 disposed, he could have made himself odious and have ncruelly unjust, but his authority was used only in the defense of justice, and justice was tempered with mercy. He had not reached the prime of life when he left his native county, though he still does Pike the honor of claiming her as his home. Within the last twelve months he turns up there every little while, bubbling over like‘a seidleitz powder with love for the Piker. His relatives reside in Pike, and on pleasant evenings at this season of the year, you can get an occasional glimpse of Bob's imposing form follow- ing up the cow paths of his ancestral woods.

Here you see large, handsome establishments with only three or four servants and occasionally only two, or with the coachman as third. In similar es- tablishments in England twice the number would be employed, and kept busy, too. And yet the peo- ple here donot seem to economize about most things.*’ “Don't you think,” he was asked, “that you are comparing our citizens with wealthier English- men?” “No, I think not. At least I am speaking of people who keep no hand- somer establishments than those with which I com- pare them here, nor in most ways do they live as extravagantly. I cannot understand it. They seem to have everything about the housein perfect order, and yet it seems incredible that the servants should find time to do it. I, myself, strongly sus- pect that the ladies do more of the light work about their houses than they do at home. “There is another point on the same question which strikes me most forcibly, and that is the mis- erable quarters found in most houses inthe United States for the domestics. Ifirst had my attention called to the subject by who has lived much abroad. since then I have myself facts In England there is always a room for the servants apart from the kitchen, a servants’ hall, we call it, where they hade their meals and spend their even- ings. But here it is very seldom that you see any- thing of the sort. The amount of it mestics in this country much harder tine than they do with us. They generally eat their meals in any kind of higgledy-piggiety fashion nmong the dirty dishes in the kitchen, and, unless they spend the evenings in their bed-rooms, generally pretty poor places, by the way, they must stay inthe kitchen. Of course this is not always the case, but you will find that it grenerally is even in handsome homes. No special arrangements are made for the comfort of the gentlemen and ladfes of the kitchen. “It may be that this is generally realized in Eng. land, for certain it is that few desirable, well-trained servants come over to this country, those that do cross the ocean being generally those who have been unable to keep places at home, There are some few members of the ultra fashion- able and wealthy set in New York who have English butlers, dressed up in uniforms as gorgeous as they are absurd, to attend the door and wait on the table, but these are rare exceptions, an‘ are generally retained more on account of their cockney accent, which announces to all callers their nationality, than because of any work they do, Speaking of liveried servants calls to mind the innumerable imitators these imported butlers have, For instance, last winter in New York it became quite fashionable to have men to open the door, their dress making them remarkable by the substivution of scarlet waiscoats forthe ordinary dark ones. Sometimes little boys were pressed into service and dressed up in this fantastic style. notice that in St. Louis people are less given to go ing to these extremes, and do not bave liveried but- lers unless the whole establishment be on rather a grand scale, in fact [have not seen any “It strikes me that these liveries are about as ab- surd as anything weli could be, that in fact they are just about on a par with the crests and coats-of-arms which are to be seen on all sides. and should be as much a part of the family traditions What a farce these coats-of-arins are to be sure!

Of course there are a great many people who have the best right in the world to a family escutcheon, but it isa question whether, even in such cases. it is in good taste for people liy ing in what is an essentially democratic country to make such a display. “Butto come back to our muttons, is there not something thoroughly ‘shoddy in this living in handsome, richly furnished houses. over working the servauts to keep up appearances ; | think there is. Of course, if a household is run on a modest scale, itis expected that everything will be simple accordingly, but thatisa different mat- observ ter. “There is one other thing that must strike any foreigner who lives among you long enough to know your ways, and that is, thatthe number of men who have valets, or of women who have ladies- maids very smali indeed. It is quite the exception to find a lady who has aservant only to wait on her,do her hair, put onher clothes, etc. Some times one such woman is employed in a household, but even that is rather unusual. “Servants in this country change their places much ofvtener than a do in England. and the reason is right here; American women do no take the same kindly interest in them as they do at home. They are looked upon as mere automatons, and if through over-work they become il], they are immediately sent away. No wonder the women complain of bad servants, The wonder is that they can keep any.” Disease, Propensity and Passion brings Mankind numberiess ailments; foremost among them are Nervousness, Nervous Dehility and unnatural weak ness of Generative Organs; Allen's Brain Food suc- cessfully overcomes those troubles and restores the sufferer to his former vigor. $1.

Cats have now found a friend who has not the willbut the ability to aid them, im the Dowager Countess De La Torre. The benevolent Countess has, during the last few months, put seventy-seven homeless cats in the way of earning honest liveli- hoods in respectable households, and ber supply of- kittens is almost unlimited. For these she has es tablished a kind of nursery where the mothers can leave their little ones in pretty straw baskets while they conduct midnight concerts or chase venture- some mice, As every English custom is,since the prevalence of the Anglo-mania, immediately adopted in this country, or at least imitated as closely as possible, it is quite surprising that that one which has for the last few years been so popular at English weddings should have escaped the watcbful eye of the Amer- ican woman. We are alluding to the fashion of having some little boy, generally a relation of the bride, to act as page and carry the bride's train. We have had pages at some of our weddings. Some- times half-a-ciozen of them—Americans never do things by halves, but they h@gve been mere pretenses and have not upheld the bridal train; on the contrary, they have simply waiked in and acted, as naasiy as possible, like the other members of the wedding procession—either carrying bouquets, or wondering what makes their hands so dreadfully in the way. The fashion is still in vogue in England, and so there is still a chance of some of our belles distinguishing themselves from the common run of brides — At the marriage of Lady Margaret Agar to Hon. Ivan Campbeil, which took piace at Westminister Abbey recently, the bride's brother, Lord Hyde, acted as page and bore her train. The little Princess Wilhelmine Helene Pauline,who is the inheritor of the throne of Holland, is not yet 4 years old,her birthday coming on the last da of this month. She is described as a pretty child, witha particularily sweet expression. The soft, golijen hair is now cut over her fore- head. and she generally wears very wide- brimmed hats, which give her a picturesque air. Her mother, who was the Princess Adelaide Emma of Waldeck-Pyrmont, is said to bave many versonal charms, Some one has had the patience lately to question a large number of men on the subject of “why they wore mustaches.*’ The result was rather interest- ing. Nine of them wore a mustache to avoid shav- ing; five, to hide defects in their front teeth; tweive, to avoid colds inthe head: five, to disguise the prominence of their noses; two, to avoid being mistaken for Englishmen; seven, s0 as not to resemble hotel-waiters; six, because they belong to the‘army or militia; twenty-one, because they had been military: twenty-eight, because their wives liked them, and 165 because the girls in gen- eral liked them! And not oneof these men who were questioned had the frankness to declare that they wore them because they were becoming! So much for the vaunted straightforward honesty of the “lords of creation!" The Queen ts going to make a new will, and great is the excitement on the oceasion, for has not her Royal Highness the Queen of England and Empress of India a large fortune? It makes no difference whether they expect to be mentioned in the interest- ing document or not, there is, to the ordinary mind, something mysteriously delightful about it. There have been all sorts of conjectures made as to whether the relatives of the faithful John Brown will be remembered in that momentous paper, Speaking of the Queen's wealth calls to mind the very unpleasant things that are being said by some of the London papers about the miserably meagre hospitalities extended to distinguished visitors by the courts, the case in point bemg that of the King of Sweden, who has not been entertained at all by the royal family, but is occupying apartments at an hotel, although Buckingham Palace is standing er with the ex- ception of one suite of rooms occupied by the Crown Prince and Princess, A lady, who has a beautiful home near London, has recently had erected there among the roses in her garden, a handsome marble slab in honor of her “dear departed” pet lap-dog. The following is the touching inscription which ornaments the stone: * Faithful little soul ! juried in this hole; A hearse crashed her brains And ended her pains.” This almost rivals the story about the daughter of one of our most distinguished Senators who, on the death of her pet dog sent her husband no less than forty telegrams to hurry his return home so that he would be in time to witness tne funeral of the canine favorite. She had it buried in a sixty dollar casket in a shroud of white silk, and she herself went into the deepest mourning. It was some months after this that an acquaintance of this eccentrie lady, who was very fond of a little joke, met her in a public thoroughfare, and said to her: “I want to offer my sympathy in the great be- reavement which you have recently had.” But the joke was quite turned when the lady said, jokingly: “Yes, the loss is altogether irreparable, but I have had her remains put in an hermetically sealed metal box, and I now take her everywhere with me.” and with this she burst into tears. And passers-by gave in- dignant looks at “that brute” before the unfortu- nate man could makehis escape. This story is undoubtedly correct and Mr. Labouchere is the anthority for the first, Mile. Feighnine, who is now among the Nihilists on trial at St. Petersburg, Russia, has a most inter- esting history, and one which shows her to be possessed of an amount of determination and powers of endurance rarely found in the sterner sex, and almost unheard of ina woman. She was born in Poland, and, at the age of 15, left her home and parents and contracted one of those marriages which the Russians call “grashdansky Brak.” On the day of the uprising in 1873 she walked at the head of a procession of atudents wav- ing a red flag on which was inscribed ‘Liberty and our Country.” Before the arrival of the police a number of cab drivers came to the rescue and made arrests, besides dispersing the mob with their whips. Mile. Feighnine was among those ar- rested, and. wit! the others. Was sent into exile in Siberia. During her trial her deportment was proud in the extreme and she even answered one of the judges with great bitterness. While in Siberia the young Nihilist became a mother, but, owing to the extreme hardships, the child died. At the end of two years she escaped and started to walk to Bt. Petersburg, begging her way. This journey took her a year, and her misery during that period was simply awful, including cold hunger. fatigue and the horror of being discovered. On ar- riving at her destination she im- mediately put on foot a plot for the annihilation of the Imperial House of Romanoff. The plot was discovered and she was once more arrested. There is but little question asto what her fate wil! be. Kither she will be sent for life to the depths of Sibe- ria or be put to death at once. several At the fete at the Halthenis in aid of the London Hospitals, one of the most successful departments was the Chinese Court which was charmingly fitted up in the many quaint nick-knacks for which that people are famous. Why don'tsome one get up & Chinese court for the Sisters’ fair to be held in No- vernber? It would be very easy to make such rn stall attractive and, to carry out the idea still better, the ladies in at- tendance might be dressed in the picturesque Chin- ese costume, Could anything be more delightful? At the Flesheries, the Princess of Wales was pre- sented with a bouquet Mluminated by tiny incan- descent lights just matching the glittering and glimmering of her diamonds. This wag an idea as pretty as it was novel. The recent death of achild at Cheimsford, Fn- giand, has broughtto notice’a sect living in that part of the country and knownas “Peculiar Peo- pie.” Part of their doctrine is that it is wrong [to call in medical assistance in case of iliness. They simply send for their elder who pravs for the suffer- er and his hands overhim. The case in point was that of a young’ child who i inflammation of the lungs, which the pnysician who made a post-mortem examination declared could poy, very easily have been cured. A witness estified that. had the disease been smal!!-pox the course pursued would have been exactly the same. The child's father is being tried for manslaughter. and it ia hoped that the prompt action taken by the Government inthe matter wil bring the “Peculiar People” to their senses. | homelike: eac F The dramatic writers of the different Bt Louis | papers are quite on the qui vive to know what souvenir Blanche Chapman will send them.

She was horrified beyond description could in no way account for its presence there. On one point she quite made up her mind—she would leave the wretch who could so vilely deceive her. The bewildered husband found her in a dreadful state of mind when he reached home. and that slipper came very near lediling to a divorce. Miss Chapman, do be a little moré considerate in your gifts this time. The Academie Francaise has refused to send & de!

Itis against the rules of the Academie to admit @ womnan no matter how ce she 1 be, and 80 George Sand was never admitted. The reason urged by that institution for refusing to take part in the celebration is that they are not inthe habit of disturbing themselves for any one, living or dead, and all the Paris jour- nals are rivaling each other in saying Gleagroen™ things about the Academie Le Monde Illustre; calis it “an old woman, a venerable radotense,” ete., ete. In short the Academie has laid itself open to unlimited abuse by refusing to acknowledge the claims of the be- loved authoress. —_—- -- Bonnet strings have once more disappeared, says a Parisian authority, and greatis the regret ex- pressed on all sides, for, whereas bonnets with strings are becoming;. when these are taken away thhey are generally very “trying.”” Every woman is anxious to know whatthe new fall shapes will be, but the secret has not yet transpired. ere have been, however, one or two autumn bonnets sent out by some of the celebrated Paris modistes. One, that is both new and startling is the ‘‘capote artiehant."’ Thisremarkable effort of genius isa plain capote in shape and is covered with velvet leaves of the color and shape of the artichoke, put on in layers to imitate’ the vegetable as Closely as may . Dark velvet passes around the back, forming strings, and high up on top is clustered a mass of deep red and pink roses, Another astounding little bonnet is of black tulle, with front covered with autumn grain standing right up on end likea cheval de frieze, and amid which beetles crawl and butterflies hover. These have, at least, the merit of novelty. Writing of hats brings to mind the question which naturally arises in the mind of every stranger who visits St. Louis, namely: Why do the men here wear such big hats?’ As yet the only answer that has been evolved was that tothe old conundrum: Why does a miller wear a white hat? Answer: his head warm, But it certainly does not appear that they shonld wear them so large that they reach their collars at the back. As the fall wedding season opens every item about those events becomes of intensest. interest to the brides that are to be. For those we will say that we are assumed that the most popular and fashionable bridesmaids’ dresses this summer have been those of simple white or cream-colored mull profusely rimened with lace. Some very showy dresses have been worn in Lon- don this season. One which attracted considerable attention was of blue satin with skirt embroidered around the bottom with red and gold stars, with et ge A ofred and blue striped satin looped with gold stars. The fashion of plain “house-maid skirts” has spread with astonishing rapidity. It is said that dresses of black and white striped silks are coming once more into style, for the Prin- cess Of Wales appeared in one the other day. The skirt waa of kilted black and white striped satin, with tunic and bodice of black broche satin, the latter opening over a waistcoat of black and white, A dark gray bonnet was worn with it. Foulard is now the most popular material for underclothing, and most elaborate are the chemises made of it. Some of them are most elaborately embroidered in silk, while others are trimmed. with lace. One of the newest designs, and one which promises to be among the most popular, has the garment made to fit¥o some extent the figure by meansof rows of shirring at the waist. For night-gowns the figured foulard is very much used, and they are generally trimmed with masses of lace, nothing being too elaborate. They have often too the full shirred or plaited waistcoats used so much on basques. The Hubbard gown is often made of this dainty material. It is shirred at the throat, and falls loose to the waist, where it is ouce more shiried. A New Way to Pay Old Debts.

A “No-Limit” Game With Thousends at Btake on a Turn— Washington Society Doings--Florists’ Immense Prof- its—Capital Notes, Bpectal Correspondence of the Post-Dispatch, Wasuinotror, August 21.—The people most active- ly engaged in preparation for the coming social sea- son in Washington are the florists. They are busy with the flowers that are to reverse the order of na- ture and bloom in winter. The tiny plant which now looks like a small and worthless weed will, by the holidays, bring dollars to the pockets of the cute florist who knows just how to manipulate it to the best advantage. The carefully nursed rose plant, which now looks like a small shrub which you would kick aside, is worth its weight in gold, yes more, for it is to produce, when the wintry blasts make roses most precious,dollars and dollars’ worth of precious buds, which are to adorn the bosom of some fair lady or ornament the tables at the White House or Cabinet reception. The amount of money spent for flowers in Washington during a social season is something enormous, It can scarcely be realized except by thoae who have made it a study. When you see upon a single dinner table twenty or thirty or fifty bouquets, one for each person at the dinner, made up with from one to a dozen buds each, and when you realize that these buds cost, many of them, a dollar and some of them two or three doliars apiece, you begin to get some idea of the amount that is being paid for flowers in Washington. When you look over the table and see centre pieces and ornaments with dozens and scores of buds and flowers upon them, and mantels and other re ceptacles loaded with them, and realize that this is but one of many evevte of this sort going night after night and month after month, and that for every one fresh flowere must be had, then you begin to getsome idea ofthe money that. ils expended in Washington for flowers. They do not all come from Washington or vicin- ity, either. The country for hundreds of miles around is scoured for them. Many of the choice ones are sent here from New York and other jints where floriculture is in a higher state than — From New York and Philadelphia and Balti- more and from the interior towns of Pennsylvania and New York State they come in quantities. The White House has its conservatory, from which fresh flowers every day, the year round, adorn the table and desk of the President, but when there is a state dinner, at which large quantities are demanded, they must be had from some vther source, some- times from the florists here, sometimes from New York or Philadelphia, e matrimonial season continues to be very busy. Even the absence of so many people of prominence has not had THE DEPRESSING EFFECT upon it that would have been expected. The mat- rimonial events this week have been quile numerous, and those announced fer the near future are of equal intetest. Miss Lillie Riagwald, whose en- agement to Mr. Bryan Morse of the Capital, the eading society paper, is announced, is the daughter of a former Mayor of Clifton, Cincinnati's most aristocratic suburb. The leading event in the mat- rimonial line this week has been the marriage of Miss Louise L. Murphy, daughter of Ool. R. C. Murphy, ex-Conaul General to Shanghai, China, solemnized at the residence of the bride's rents, 935 K street. The gentleman of her choice, Mr. W. P. Jameson, is a well-known resident of Charles County, Maryland. The parlors were elaborately decorated with flowers, and the stair- case, etc., were garianded. Soon after 8 o'clock Miss Eliza Jenkins of Chapel Point, Md., played the wedding march as the brida! party entered the par- lor. Four bridesmaids and four groomamen pre- ceded the bride and groom. The bridesmaids were Miss Lucy Murphy, Miss Emma Hamilton, Miss Mary Digges and Miss Mamie Gardner of Maryland; the groomsmen Mr. Richard Jameson, Mr. Buckingham of Alexandria. Mr. Maloney and Camillus Howard of this city. The bride wore an exquisite toilet of crape, with cream satin and rare lace; a diamond horseshoe fastened the marriage veil, over which flowers and vines trailed. Kev. Father Walter per- formed the ceremony. Miss Lucy Murphy wore an elegant toilet of bine moire antique; with natural flowers. Mra. Col. Murphy wore steel-colored silk, with old point lace, The supper-room was elegant and the supper was éxcellent. The presents were very costly and numerous. Among the invited guests were Mr. Rice, ex-consul to Japan; Gen. A. D. Hazen, Postmaster General; Mr. EF. J. Dallas, Mr. Sweet, Mr. Newell Whitney, Gen, Carmen, wife and daughter, Mr. Thomas Cridley; Mr. Walker and lady; Mr. Sol Flannery, sculptor; Mr. Sherwood, ASSISTANT POSTMASTER, Mr. and Mrs. D. M. Covey, Mr, and Mrs. Cabell Will- iamson, Capt. Ross Brown, Mr. Frank Richardson, Mr. EB. A. Clifford, Mr. and Mrs, Robey and son, Miss Hill, daughter of the late Senator Hill of Georgia, the Misses Slamn, a of Paymaster Siamn of the Navy, Mrs. Stockholm and son, Mr. Tyssowski and sister, Messrs. Baird of the army, Duane, Greely, M. J. W. Swasey, Miss Allen, Miss Neal, Mr. and Mrs. Berry, Mr. J. G. Collins, ' in all over one hundred guests. The bride and groom left at 10 o'clock for a northern trip. Anevent of the week has been the tripof the Washington Light ag! a crack military organ. ization, to Long Branch. It iscurious how much at- tention this sort of cheap military business can at- tract, but it does. The local papers have been full of slush from the city by the sea about the infantry, and the attention they are receiving from the people there, whoin reality welcome anything which will relieve the tedium of a dull summer day at the sea- side. They would doubtless turn out in greater numbers to see Buffalo Bill and bis Comanches, but as the infantry is the only show they have now, and a free one, too, they look atthem. Someone who accompanies them writes the following paragraph, which serves to show what sortof fighting these heroes are doing: “By all means the most gorgeously appointed gaming house on the coast between Portsmouth and Savannah, and probably the most expensively fitted up establishment of ite kind in America, is the Pennsylvania cottage, or Many A Club House," on Ocean avenue, near the West End Hotel. The bank is backed by New York millionaires, and is said to have unlimited capital. Big gamblers from all quarters of the country in search of a “bi limit game” come here. Dissatified with “$100 an ee or the “$200 and $400" limite of New York, joston, Chicago, Baltimore, New Orleans, Denver and St. Louis try Daly's. Here they are NOT EMBARRASSED BY COMMANDS to “take down!" Their bets “yo as they lay,” and it is not an unusual thing to see thousand dollar bets scattered over the “layouts.” Two years ago when the ht Infantry Corps was makin ‘arrangements for a fair to ald in the erection o a grand armory, Mr. John Hoey of the Adams Express Company was here on a visit. His atten- tion was called to the project and a check for $250 was tendered the managers, supplemented by the assurance that he would “put the roof on the new Armory building.” This was not forgotten when the corps made arrangements to visit Long Branch, at the suggestion of the officers the camp was named Hoy in honor of the only res- ident member of the corps at Long Branch. Such was the origin of the name of the propased encamp- ment, and an entertainment by the gentleman thus honored will be one of the features of the trip by the corps.

Meeting to Arrange for The National Re- union in This City. Last night the Mexican Veteran Association met at No. 582 Chestnut street to discuss arrangments for the reception of their brethren who are to meet here in a National reunion on October 8. Maj. aic- Ginniess, who represented this city at the Washing- tou meeting, made & brief address, outlining what would be necessary by way of entertainment and stating that in case an excursion and banquet for the Vets would provetoo costly for the resources of the St. Louis organization, an excursion alone would be preferable to a banquet. Capt, Pearson suggested that the old Post-Office building be Recu as) 68 lodging Place for the veterans as the city would be so crowded with visitors to the fair at that time. The question of in- viting and entertaining the old Mexican soldiers who foug t against oyr boys in that war was then discuss- ed it being u that such @ move would go very far toward the creation of close friendly relations between this city and Mexico. Inasmuch. however as such an invitation would in vol ve the actual enter. tainment of the Mexican Vetsas guests and the payment of all their ex , it was determined to see whatamount of money could be raised for snch entertainment before sendi the invitation. Ac- cordingly Messrs. McGinniss,Fox and Hayward were appointed a committee to go on ‘Change to-day and cit subacriptions for t purpose.

STRIKING ITS GAIT, The Post Office Department Conval- escing From the Two-Cent Cut. -_ — Some Cases of Stupid ‘‘Economy”’on the Part of Congress— A Much-Needed Revision of House Rules in Proge ress—The Blair Bill By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch. Wa4SHINeTox, D. C., August 23.— The Post Office- Department finds the sale of two-cent stamps steadily increasing, and the officials of that branch of the Government service expect to soon see the departinent self-sustaining again. It is a wonderful thing that a department can sustain over 50,000 of- fices in all parts of the country, deliver mail at the doors of residences in the cities, carry country newspapers free, and others for almost nothing, and yet, by carrying letters to any part of this great country for two cents, make money enough to be almost self-sustaining. Yet this isthe fact. It will be but a few years until the receipts will again be as great as the expenditures, provided Congress does not in its wisdom see fit to make further reduction, There are indications, however, that it may. It seems Quite probable that the limit of weight may at the next session be increased from the present letter standard of one-half ouncé to one ounce, and he rates on “drop” letters cut down to one cent, The increase in the limit of weight would probably cut down the revenue nearly $1, 000,000, and the change of local rates would reduce it another million or more. Your average statesman thinks it his duty to “monkey” with that which he knows least about, and the result will probably be that he will set in ain on the Post Office Department pretty soon. The offivials of the department realize pretty thor- oughly the tendency of these fellows to take the bits in their teeth, and prepare for it so far as pos- sible. They cannot always meet the annoyances of the situation, however. “I declare,” sald one of them talking of thishabit of Comcressmen to your correspondent, ‘it is very annoying that men who know absolutely nothing about the wwe of the department should attempt to control the details of its workings in the face of recommendations of men who are paid to study and manage it. Why all thisterrible Star Route matter might have been and would have been prevented if Congress had only given to Postmaster-General Jewell a few inspectors that he aked TO KEEP AN EYE ON THE WORK on the Star Routes west of the Mississippi River, He asked about 1876 or 1878 for fifteen inspectors to put on these Western routes, and to run down the sus- picions which were just then arising about this matter. Butthey would not give one of them, and the consequence was that the systematic stealings grew to enormous sums, just because of this fact, of theinability of the Postmas- ter General to prevent them after they were sus- pected. Another little thing which shows the imbe- no the average Congressman isthe inability of the Department to get an appropriation of a few thousand doliars for the purchase of canceling stamps and stamps giving the name of the office, for all the post offices of the country. It is a curi- ous fact that there are some eight or ten thousand offices without those stamps, and that, though they cost but sixty cents apiece, © has been asked for several years to allow usa sufficient sum to get them, and still refuses to do so. Write the name of the office on the letters mailed, did you say? Well, that would be all right if you knew that the postmaster could write, but youdon't. On the con- trary. in many of the States, especially in the South, there are lots of postmasters who can't write. The result is, where they have no stamp, that they have to send their letters without any mark on them to show where they qome from. Wevery often have merchants came to us with letters mailed at that sort of offices, where the name of the State is omit- ted in the letter itself, quite puzzled to know where they came from.” NEW RULES FOR THE HOUSE. The Sub-Committee of the House Committee on Ruaies is quietly at work on a new system of rules for that body. And they are needed. Itis hoped that the committee will be successful in getti something that will enable the House to accom lish something. The miserable recordwhich that body made for itaelf last session, and more because of a lack of an intelligent system than anything else, is uite sufficient to warrant the assertion that any- ing would be better than the present rules. That Congress should sit seven months and only pass ac- counts of 10,000 bills introduced, and none of those of any general importance, is a_ sufficient comments on the lack of officient machinery. It is whisperd that the tariff reform leaders were a g deal chagrined toward the close of the session to see how they had been corralled by Mr. Randall through the advantages he was able to take by reason of the condition of the rules of the House at last session. THE BLAIR BILL. The voters of the South are, it is reported at the Congressional headquarters, a ood deal exercised over the failure of the e of the Blair educational bill at last session. The Nationa! Republican, in speak- ing of this fact, holds the Educational Committee of the House responsible for the failure of the bill, say- ing that it failed to report on it after its passage by the Senate. This is hardly a fair statement of the case. The Committee on Education did report fav- orably a bill of this character and place iton the calendar, but the House deliberately, by vote, re- fused to take it up for action. The bill in question was introduced by Mr. Willis, and as reported by the committee contained substantially the same provis- ions as the Blair bill Mr. Aiken, the chairman of the Educational Committee of the House, did ex- press himself pretty strongly in opposition to it in the early part of the session, but it is understood ac- quiesced in Mr. Willis’ bill later on and would have supported itin the House had that body decided to take it up for action.

The American, Union and League Fights-- Ring Matters ~- Aquatic Notes — Dia- mond Chips — Budget of Sporting News, Notes and Gossip— Ixion’s Epistie. Counting the first of May as a oar Agel a looking ahead to the 15th of October as the stopping place, it may be calculated that the base- ball season is . more than two-thirds advanced and the balance of the campaign will pass very rapidly. The battle between the five Jeaders in the American campaign is unprecedent- edly fine, and the excitement and interest attend- ing itis unparalleled. Henceforth the effete ok league must take a back seat as the representative association of the country, and certainly no such ball has ever before been furnished in this country as being played by the St. Louis and Louisville clubs. **e-e And just here I wish to utter a word of warning to ball patrons. For sundry causes to which it is ee oe ae the disgruntled enemies of the American tiation are beyond a doubt preparing for a sort of general attack along the line upon the clubs com ng their body, and are already inti- mating that hippodroming and double-dealing are shaping the course and records of the several clubs, Several sheets have openly presented this outrage- ous calumny, and while it is not apt to blind the eyes of the educated and posted patrons of base- ball, it is apt to create some gossip and scandal amongst those who are only partially in- terested and read up in these matters. There was never more honest, jealous and intense rivalry existing between clubs as there is betweenthe St. Louis, Cincinnati, Louisville, Columbus and Metropolitan Clubs and the players as well, as their officers are heart and soul in the struggle. It remains forthe lovers of the national sport to cry down all sore-heads and barking Jeremiahs, whose object is to effect a little personal revenge, based upon the disappointment of the most sordid ends, e+e A great deal of misapprehension exists regard- ing the presumptive enormous salaries players will demand next sea- Bon. But there need be no fear. Players are as well paid now—better in fact—than they can ever hope to be, and while some special and exceptional cases may be cited where men set and demand high and extraordinary figures, these are exceedingly limited. Had the Northwestern Association carried through there would have been some prospect of a heavy advance for players’ ser- vices—where the clubs were able to stand them. As it is there is a prolific abundance of talent onthe market, the clubs are well stocked up, and a player getting a comfortable compensation from his present club, would find it a difficult matterto get an advance. Mr. Von der Ahe showed mea piceon-hole full of letters—fully twenty-five in number-—from leading and efficient professionals, who are desirous of com- ing toSt. Louis next season; and many of their figures are very reasonable, others 80 excessive that they have evidently “left room for a drop.” At all events no notice will be id to gentlemen who are immodest in their demands and if that is the case in St. Louis. where the managnment has been ultra generous and liberal in the matter of salanes,it is not probable that extortion will be listened to or tolerated else- where. Besides there are some prospects of further disbandments at the close of the season; probably two in the League—with several in other associa- tions. e** Regarding the proposed meeting of the local American and Union associations I find that there is quite as much feeling against a present meeting as chere is forit, and the feeling is growing. My mail is charged every day with episties, pro and con, and as so much has been written in favor of the scheme, it will not be out of order to quote some of the arguments against it. One writer says: “At a time when the national game bore an unsavory reputation in this city, through the crookedness of piayers who had been engaged to play here, Christ Von der Ahe organized a club and gave us, if not a brilliant nine, at least an honest one, improvin each season, until it is now one of the leading clubs of the country. With each succeeding season has he also improved Sportsman's Park, and itis now consid- ered by those who ought to know as equal to the finest in the country. his has not been accomplished without agreat deal of effort and outiay and he has been rewarded by meeting with a patronage second to none extended to any other club in the country. In the rivalry which naturally and incidentally sprang up a club is organized as a business opposition, a nine secured and a ground equipped. Now Mr. Von der Ahe is asked to break one of the rules of the American Association by plaving the new club before his championship season is over. Let Mr. Von der Abe break the rule and it would be speed- ily seen how speedily his business position and fran- chise would be assaulted. Assertions and promises go for nothing where dollars and cents are at stake. The friends of the Browns are perfectly satisfied with the exhibitions they have given when opposed to clubs who = ¥ quite as ood ball probably as the St. uis Unions. ‘he Union was organized as a rival to St. Louis and its partisans openly boasted at the beginning of the season that'there would be no Brown Stocking Club in ‘SS. Soeven though the consent of every club in the American Association could be obtained the Browns should not be allowed to jeopardize their chances for gaining the championship by risking the fingers and limbs of their players in crowding these games, as they would have to be; and the re- suite of these series would not be convincing to the friends or adherents of either. In other words, the Browns have nothing to gain and everything to lose in making a series with the Union Club, to say nothing of making a concession to outspoken enemies, for which there is ample time in the future. I have spoken to many friends of the Browns, and they are almost toa man opposed to the two clubs meeting as representatives of their respective associations. I dare say there would be quite as large a gathering to see the Browns and some club _belongin to the Amer!l- can Association play for the benefit of our charitadSle institutions as the grounds could accom- modate, and Iam sure Mr. Von der Ahe would read- ily consent to such an exhibition. If the mem- bers of the two clubs desire to play together as in- dividuals after the season is over, iet them do so, but not under any other circumstances.”’ All of which is respectfully submitted. *** Boating will undoubtedly have A big boom next year, and =in_ this’ connection it is safe to say that it will probably start before the fall is over this year. Certain it is that Mr. St. John has honest money back of Jake Gaudaur for all who wish it to come and get. In this connection the following from the Boston Herald of one of last week's dates, has been over-looked, and it is of in- terest andimportance: “Mr. J. A. St. John of St. Louis telegraphs the Herald that Jacob Gaudaur has challenged Peter H. Conley to row a three-mile race at Creve Caour lake for $1,000 a side, and has deposited $100 forfeit with the editor of the Posr- Dispatcu. Last evenin r* Morris, on behalf of John Teemer, deposited at this office $100 forfeit on behalf of Teemer to bind a match between Teemer and Gaudaur, Teemer allowing Gaudaur five sec- onds start in three miles.” Now that looks like business, and although no official notification of the deposit has as yet been received by Mr. St. John, no doubt immediate action will be taken in the matter. IXION, Hickory Carpenter's N. O. Nine. The well known third baseman of the Cincinnati Club, Hickory Carpenter, is arranging to organize a nine to take to New Orleans to represent that city during the winter. The Crescent City is badly gone on base-ball, and as Hickory is a favorite down there. he has been selected to look after the interests of what is to be called the Crescent City Club. He has already selected several players, among them being Long John Reilly at first, Biddy McPhee at The American Association, The fight in this campaign loses nothing of inter- citing. The Mets have nothing like the heavy lead predicted for them a month ago, and Columbus is two games behind in games won and two worse off in games lost.

Ithad been a hard fight and interesting contest, the batting being about even on singles with the totals in favor of Kansas a the fielding be- ing about even. Werden was hit so freely that Sweeny was called in in the last of the game, but the Kansas vn kept up their merry ta-ta-to. McLaughiin pitched an excellent game for the Kansas City. The affair is regretted as the contest was a pretty one up to the time of the row. Athletic Tournament at Sportsman's Park.

Sul- livan are both willing to spar in public, and give the entire receipts of their exhibition for charitable purposes. Ina letter toa friend in New York, Sul- livan writes: ‘You know as well as anybody that I was sick and unable to fight Mitchell or anybody This has been the regret of my life, but I will make amends for it before long. Iam taking good care of myself,and about the middle of September I will be in condition to meet any man who wants to face ms. I would prefer Madison Square Garden, and I propose to give the proceeds of the sparring match to some charitable institution. I would prefer to meet Charley. Mitchell, of course, as he and I were concerned in the receipts taken in there. If Mitchell declines, then you can put me down as will- ing to spar with any man who will meet me. I have other engagements, but I will permit none of them to.interfere with my charitable purpose.” Billy O’Brien of New York visited Boston recently, and passed much of his time in the com- pany of Sullivan and his friends. Speaking of Sullivan a day ortwo ago, he said: “Sometimes Sullivan sits down and cries like a child’ and it is al- most worth a man’s life to mention the Madison Square Garden fiasco to him. As he and Mitchell divided the receipts on the occasion, he prefers to tight him, but if he declines, then he will fight any- body else, and will give a bonus to be agreed upon by the referee.” William Madden and Charley Mitchell, when spo ken to on the subject, thought well of the plan. Mitchel! said: “Ill give him a go any time. My idea with regard to the distribution of the proceeds among the poor is that it should not be given to any one institution. My pian would be to have a committee appointed to go around among the most deserving poor people and distribute the money. At all events, lam _ will- ing to meet Mr. Sullivan for sucha purpose. I can understand his delicacy in being unable to carry out his contract at the last match. Whatever charity is concerned, | am there, and, if necessary, I will spar every night for one week for charitabie purposes. The only question at issue is with regard to the dis- tribution of the fund.’’—| Boston Herald. Hanlan’s Vanquisher. If not the most prominent, at least the most in- teresting figure at present in the sculling world, is the man who beat Edward Hanlan on Friday, Au- gust 15, in the Parramatta River. Many inquiriess have been made regarding him, and therefore is appended the following exhaustive biography from the Clipper: “The sculler who is thus credited with having ad- ministered what, from the foregoing dispatches, ap- pears to have been a most decisive defeat to a man who had proven himself immeasurably superior to the many oarsinen whom he had previously met, hails from Dapto, weighs about 165 pounds and is the most recent addition to the ranks of scullers who have attained prominence in Australia. In his vocation as ferryman he gained great experience in the use of the oar. while the laborious na- ture of his work developed his mus- cular powers andl Staying qualities. He was a contestant in several regatta races in heavy boats prior to last year, andon December 25, 18%, rowed his first match of importance. It was in light skiffs, for $500 a side, with T. Clifford, and was 4 rowed over the reguiar championship course on the Parramatta River, at Sydney, N.S. W., 3 miles 330 yards, straightaway, Beach winning in Wm. Ws. His next appearance was in the open scujlers’ race for the Punch trophy, same course,in which he finished first, with E. A. Trickett, ex-champion, sec- ond. the winner's time being the fastest in which the course had upto that time been rowed. This was his first race in a shell, and it led to a match between him and Trickett, in shells, for $500 a side, which was Gecided on the same river July 28, 1883, Beach suffering defeat, in 2im. 15s. Attributing his defeat to the inferiority of his boat, the friends of Beach rematched him against his con- queror for $1,000 a side. The racecame off August 18 following, and this time Trickett was beaten in 2m. Whs. The defeated man sought another match, which was accorded him, and they rowed again for a like amount, on the same water, August 27,Beach winning the“rubber’ with comparative ease in 20m. 44s. eclipsing all course. at the Balmain regatta, November 9, when Triékett won first prize, Beach finishing second. On Decem- ber 6 and 8, following, the prize of $750 offered by James Hunt, added toa sweepstakes of $100 each, was rowed for ina regatta on the Parramatta course, Beach capturing first place in 20m. 58s, with Trickett second by six lengths. the trial heats Trickett had D. McDonald, and Beach won Michael Rush, ex-champion. The main object! of this event was to discover who was the fastest sculler in the Colonies, in order that the best man might be pitted against the all-conquering Hanlan, notuce of whose intended visit to the Antipodes had been received. Unfortunately, aninjury to E. C. Laycock, whose ankie had been fracturgd, pre- vented the latter from participating. Beach and his old opponent, Trickett, met again in the champion race at the Anniversary Regatta, January 26, 15, but they fouled, and were ordered to row over for | ' towara third base, Ward dancing along in front of him just out of his reach, ond, that he could first prize. This they did on February 1, over the Two Islands course, when Trickett. who was more at home in the rough water encounfered, came off | Beach subsequently made | | darted past Gilligan like a rifle-shot, and as there ‘was noone backing him up, Ward had a clean victor by four lengths. a proposition fora match race, which was accepted. and him and Trickett rowed for $1,000 a side and the championship of Australia on the River course, April 12. Beach, who was the favorite at two to one, won easily by three lengths, in 23m. 1%. Among those present at the race was Ned Hanlan, who had arrived in Sidney a few days pres iously. Efforts were made to arrange a match ~«iween Hanlan and Beach, tobe rowed on the Nepean River, butthe latter declined to row any- where except onthe Parramatta, and negotiations were dropped, asthe party who had induced the champion to visit the Antipodes, insisted on his first race being rowed on the Nepean River, calculating to reiroburse himself from the excursion money. Nothing was done, therefore, till afte? Hanlan had beaten Laycock on the -Nepean, when the subject wasagain broughtup, andon June 7a match for $2.00 a side and the championship of the world was arranged, and this it was which was decided August 16. P. J. Clark was agreed upon for referee at the time of signing articles. Aquatic Notes. Fred Plaisted is training Norris, the young sculler from Halifax, for his race with Priddy. Ross will row at the McKeesport regatta and Gaudaur will have a chance to test his speed. An eight-oared barge crew of the Modoc Club will make a trip up the river to-morrow morning. Col. David B.

That Western oarsmen are not represented in the Executive Committee of the National Association of Amateur Oarsmen is not the fault of the associa- tion. The office was tendered to J. A. St. John, but he refused because his name was identified with professional rowing and he is backing a professional oarsman. Diamond Chips.

Dan will re- turn to his home in Detroit and spend the remainder of the season there. In the winter he will play base-ball as manager of a skating rink at Evans- ville.—| Commercial-Gazette. When a Philadelphia father chided his daughter for allowing a young gentleman visitor to kiss her, she replied; with some spirit: “I couldn't help it, pa. After he kissed me the first time I told him to stop it, and he didn’t mind me at all.”” And the next day, when her father brought home a base-ball-catcher's mask and told her to wearit when her young gen- tleman friend called, she was mean enouch to call hima hateful old thing and to declare that if it wasn't for the fact that it would make a good bustle she'd smash it to atoms. There is a very decided belief that the American association acted hastily and upon exaggerated in- formation when they relieved Charley Daniels, the umpire. Daniels has beeu at home ever since’ and has refused ail overtures from the Unions. A move- ment is now on foot to recall him to duty again, and the prospects are that he will be duing his good work again forthe American association within a few weeks.—[Commercial-Gazette. Was not Mr. Caylor one of the ‘‘hasty”’ ones? Tom Deasley of the St. Louis Club, has the name among professionals of being the greatest talker in the business. There is nota player comes to the bat when Tom is catching that he does not try to rattle by a bombardment of words. He keeps up a rattling cross-fire of such exasperations: **What are you doing up there?” “Say, you don’t expect to hit the ball, do you’” “Why, vou make me weak,’' and kindred sayings, that have a tendency to make batters nervous, especially when the game isa close one. Browning of the Louisvilles, is re- posed as saying inarecent game: “I can’t hit the all with this d—‘d parrot biowing his talkinto my ears. **—[ Enquirer. It seems ashameto have the Louisville people make a buffoon of Hecker the way they are doing. He is too fine a fellow to be made the laughing stock of the country. The Louisville public know, as well as they are living, that theirclub haven't a ghost of a show to win the pennant, and whatis the use of them making Hecker pitch the very life out of himself, on a promise that they will present him with a house and bot in case the Louisvilles win the championship. If Hecker had one iota of brains he would know the Metropolitans were going to win it, and it is a wonder his dumb instinct doesn't tell him so.—(|Exchange. Hecker was unfortunately christened Guy —but it won't be the Mets. Oxley is about the newest man that ever played ball in New York city. He wentinto cateh just as he had arrived from the Green Mountains, and after catching an inning he saw the catcher of the other club strapping on a chest protector, so he asked him what he was doing that for. And the catcher re- plied: “To keep the ball from striking me in the next time you go behind the bat." Acting upon the advice, Oxley strapped on the protector and caught for two innings without a mask and the big rubber shield flapping like the wings of an eagle, and he probably would have finished the game in the same way if some fellow hadn't come along and said: “That thing won't do you any good unless you fill it full of wind.” Oxley took thetip, sneaked off to one side and blew it up, but he continued to catch without a mask until some other kind fellow came along and told him what a mask was used for, that previous times over that | They met again in the open scullers’ race | | threw the ball Parramatta | _run, amid the wildest kind of applause.—{N.

From the Reading (Pu.) Eagle. The presence at the Keystone House of Judge FE. A. Noonan, now of St. Louis, recalls the success of a former Reading boy out West, and the splendid possibilities in store for every young man who looks at life as a stern reality and who is determin- ed to merit success by honest, persistent and untir- ing effort. Judge Noonan is the son of Martin Noonan, residing at 414 South Seventh street, this city. He learned the trade of a machinist at Douglass & Connard's, where he remained two years. Then he read law in the office of L. C. Picker, Esq., for one and one half years, after which he at- tended the Albany (N. _ /Y.) Law Univer- sity, from which institution he graduated, and, sub- mitting to an examination before the Supreme Court, was admitted to practice in all the ccurts of New York State. But Mr. Noonan saw another fleld before him. He located in St. Louis. He had very little money, and proceeded to that city armed wit several letters of recommendation, which he found of some use. He had about the same experience as all young lawyers in large cities—he was unknown and of youthfulappearance, and business came to him slowly. He was hardly 21 years old at this time, but worked hard and is now reaping the fruits of his labors.. He first came into prominence as one of the attorneys in the famous Fortmyer murder trial, one of the most remarkabie murder cases ever tried in that section. In this he gained a footing and public attention and success was more — Some years afterward he was nominated by the Democrats of St. Louis for assistant district attorney, and was elected by a handsome majority. Politically St. Louisis very close, and neither party can afford to make improp- er nominations. he term was four years, and he was renoiminated and re-elected by an increased majority. During this time he distinguished himself asa painstaking, hardworking official, and scored one triumph after another in his profession. Two years ago he was elected Judge of the Court of Crim- inal Correction of St. Louis for four years by a ma- jority of 8,000. Ia this position he has distinguished himself for his fairness and deep knowledge in the in- tricacies of American jurisprudence. He was called upon to pass judgment on some of the most import- ant cases tried inthe West. In his decision of the Sunday law questions he recorded himself in favor of their liberal construction, by which street cars, barber shops, ete.. were allowed todo business on the Sabbath. St. Louis is a German city, and some of its gardens frequentiy contain as high as 10,000 people on Sundays. Alithe saloons and gardens were closed under an anti-Sunday law. Then Judge Noonan passed upon a special law enacted early in the history of St. Louis and which was in the shape of a grant by the State to the city. The question was whether the general law, in existence prior to the special law,repealed it or not. Judge Noonan held that the special law wasin force, and the people are now enjoying their accustomed Sunday re creations. The matter created considerable ex citement, but Judge Noonan was upheld by public sentiment. His impartial conduct of the trial of the Police Commissioners of St. Louis, who were in- dicted for conspiracy, was another triumph for Some of the oldest lawyersin the West were engaged inthe case, and the trial was long, bitter and tedious. Among other cases which made him famous was a libel suit, which lasted three months and the arguments consumed a week. Some of the most turbulent and exciting scenes ever witnessed in a court of law took place during the trial. A riot occurred in his court- room, and amob had complete possession fortwenty minutes. As on all occasions, Judge Noonan retained his presence of mind, and had the mob spirit promptly put down by the authorities. He broke up the swindiing lotteries of the West, and declared for the first time that poker, under the gambling statute, wasa game of chance and conse- quently afeiony. His court-room is three times as large as the Berks court-room,and is usually packed. Judge Noonan has rectified many abuses, is 55 years old and very popular in St. Louis. Me is a thorough, live, wide-awake, go-ahead Westerner. He marned a beautiful young lady of St. Louis, Miss Brennan, the sister of Dr. Wm. Brennan, one of its leading physicians. They have three children. Mrs. Noonan and children are with the Judge in Reading. Thev came on to see Judge Noonan’s parents and friends here, and expect to remain several weeks. TheJudge was one of the committee of thirteen which proceeded to Washington last winter to urge St. Lous’ claims for the National Demo- cratic Convention. He was a delegate to the latter body at Chicago and supported Bayard, until the boom for Hendricks, when he changed to the latter who was his first choice. He has been a member o the Democratic State Committee, and of its execnu- tive committee, for the past eight years. Whatever he has undertaken he has done faithfully and well. In all his aspirations, he hasa faithful ally in his wife, who takes a deep interest in ali public affairs. Judge Noonan’s career is a bright example for ev- ery young man in this city, showing what honesty, industry, integrity and well directed energy can bring forth. ee — RELIGIOUS AFFAIRS.

The meeting i] THE PLENARY COUNCIL ~~ Mode of Procedure of the Coming Catholic Conference at Bal- timore. qummnninaitiippennenen Preliminary Preparations and Discussions —The Organization of the Council and the Duties of Each Division— Final Consideration of Its Action at Rome. By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch. BaLTiworg, August 23.—In connection with the coming Plenary Council, which is to assemble in this city, the mode of procedure to be adopted, as out- lined by a distinguished Catholic, will be found of interest. Some time in advance of the meeting of the Plenary Council the several Archbishops and Bishops convene a number of the most learned of the clergy in the respective provinces or dioceses, to whom their superior submits a scheme or certain questions, propositions or subjects, am those upon which the Plenary be calied upon to act. The B submitting the scheme may ind own views. The province of the erence is t< consider, discuss and put into such form as the majority decide to be best, the questions presented by the scheme for the consideration and action of THE PLENARY COUNCIL. This is done to clear the way for the more rapid and _ intelligent action of the t in the authoritative council, notto prejudge or to determine any question but to put it in such shape that the superior body can see its nature at a glance and know at once what todo with it, or to what por- tion of the council to refer it. The plenary council will be composed of two branches, or houses cor- responding to the and House of Reprcsenta- tives of the United States. The archbishops, bish- ops and higher dignitaries form one house and the theologians wil be divided into coagrega- tions ejuivalent to committees of ten or twelve each in number, FACH CONGREGATION will be presided over will have its secretary. : of these congregations is referred some particular sub- *t or matter which the council is called to ate upon. One congregation will have, for instance, for its consideration the subject of priests, another education, another canon law, and & on. The differ- ent members of the congregation will express their views and cast their votes. The secretary will take account of the opinion or view which a ma jority or the unanimous congregation sustain, making a re- port of the result, the reasons for it and the number sustaining it, which account ts reported to the other house, when the bishops and archbishops in their turn consider, discuss and vote upon it, approving it entirely, rejecting itor accepting it with some modification as the case may be. Finally THE ACTION OF THE COUNCIL is returned to Kome, when the questions are again considered by the cong tion of Cardinals and eminent theologians. Their action is made known tothe Pope, whose — makes ita finality. The preceedings of the Plenary Council as thus finally dnirmed or modified by the highest leyrisia- tive body of the Church, are printed and sent to each Bishop, etc., who was a member of the Piet c a for, his guidance in the execution of hie onice, _- - —__ —___ ——————— D1i9u iN CASH GIVEN AWAY Smokers of and ops here specified: ist PREM!
