The weather was a little coquettish this morning, and such early risers as were taking enough inter- est in politics to wish that to-day x vote should be a large one found cause for depression in a cloudy sky, a foggy atmosphere, anda general promise of a wet day. Now and then. between 6 and 8 o'clock, there were breaks in the clouds which gave tempo- rary encouragement, and then closed up again. The polls were opened with admirable prom ptness all over town, so far as heard from, Lut they might aswell have remained closed a couple of hours longer for all the business they did. There was very little in the early voting to give encouragement to those who had any money up on the proposition that the total vote in the city would reach 40,000. It was a very rare case in which a poll had scored forty votes within an hour of opening, and in a large majority of cases the number was under twenty. The representatives of the several tickets were very efficient and attentive to duty, and voters experienced no difficulty in finding any ticket they wanted, except at one precinct in the Eighteenth Ward, where, during the early morning, there were no Ewing tickets. It was avery noticeabie fact, however, in every precinct visited by represeuta- tives of the Post-Drspatcn that the man who voted a straight ticket of any kind whatever was the ex- ce to the rule. ‘ratching was fashionable, and although it meant lots of work for the Judges in counting, it was a commendable innovation on = custom which was so prevalent afew years ago 0 blindly veting a “straight Ueket.” D.

The last meeting of the cam- in his favor was held at Lucas Market — night, and was a enthusiastic gathering. betting at the same time had gone up to two to one in his favor, and be was thus assured of securing that unknown strength which always goes to the man who appease to be strongest. Th Republican meeting at Mercantile library Hal was also a marge ak- fair, and there was no questioning the enthusiasm and determination of the mea who It failed, however, to alter the It was under such wo leaders opened up 8 battle. This does not app! , however, to the lanee of the tickets. ile Francis had the advantage men- „Gov. Campbell, the next man to him. was the favorite in betting nowhere. The same can be said of Mr. Martin, and for Register, Hobbs had, according tothe gossip, a pretty strong lead on THE FIRST WARD. | The-situation in the First Ward at noon to-day was, to say the least of it, complicated. While the leaders, notably Butler and others, claim that the Democratic ticket is going through without a break, by an average majority of 300, with Clay Sexton in the lead of the ticket. Butler. at 11 o'clock to-day, was offering to bet that Mr. Sexton would poll the largest vote on the Demo- cratic ticket. On the other hand, the Repub- lican leaders say that the vote their party was the largest polled for years and tthere was every probability that the ticket will carry the ward. It was admitted by the Republic- ans that Ziegenhein was not pay om Bn with the rocession in the ward, but that was going — ahead of him rather strongly. This endorsed the correctness of Ed Butier’s view. Both said, and the poll sheets show, that a ~~ 4" 4 vote was bein polled. The Democrats thought Filley would poll 1 votes inthe ward. The Republicans clai t his vote would not go over . Rosenblatt, bow- ever, led his ticket very strongly. At noon today all the indications pointed to an average Demo- cratic majority in the First Ward of between 150 and 200.fThe negro vote was not going to Tyler with the unanimity which was predicted. Out of twenty colored votes at one precinct two were for Tyler and the other -eighteen for Emile Thomas. Four of these twenty voted for * It any judgment at all could be based upon statement, it would be that the ne vote was not as solid as many have believed. At the last 5 dential election the First Ward lost an average Democratic majority of 226. Hobbs would, it was paid by Democrate, lead the Repu ticket in tne First Ward. * THE THIRD WARD. At the last Presidential election, on a test vote, the Third Ward was Democratic by ty- three votes. It is a close ward and in all lity it is as close this time as it ever was ore. 0 strong the cards that jori The employes in a many of ward voted solidiy for Ewing, and the 8 1 5 =e i i 5 155 sls pall FAVORS FRANCIS, But Ewing May Still be of them would be cast for Filley.

In the district lying t headway up tonoon. The Second Ward, which lies in the business district between the river and Eleve and Pine and Wash streets, had polled a very licht vote up to eleven o'clock. At Ninth and Pine streets, for instance, only thirty-two votes had been of tickets with macadam holding them down, and the$wo policemen watching the hole where tickets go in, there would be nothi to indicate that an election was going on. At Hotel Barnum, where the vote should supposably be pretty heavy, only twenty-eight ballots had been cast at the hour mentioned. “The voting here.“ said Squire McCaffrey, whom the Post-Dispatch man found at t Poll. “has been ve slow indeed, but ¢ it mlooks as h there was little or no scratching in this ward, I can't understand why so few people are voting. The registration at this poll, however, is only seventy-four, aud it may be that a pretty full vote will be cast yet.” It is my opinion,“ said Lieut.-Gov.. Campbell, who was present, that the entire Democratic ticket is going through. and that you will find very little scratching has been indulged in.“ On Sixth street, opposite the Union Market, where the poll of a precinct with 249 registered voters was located, only forty-five votes had n cast at 5 minutes past 11, and ‘Squire Monahan, the Democratic nominee for the Lower House, was very confident that a larze proportion were favorable to his party. At the corner of Ninth and Mo only 33 out of a possible 252 had n cast at same hour, and it was claimed that most of these were Republican, “The cdlored men are voting the Ewing ticket.“ said one of the colored ticket hold- ers, “but they are scratching Thomas right along for Tyler. I haven't heard of a single Filey ticket being polled hero.“ ; Near tnis poll Reub Armstrong, the lonesome colored Democrat of the Second Ward, was fourd in a state of great disgust. “They've treated me shamefully,” said Reub. “I aint aman that hol- lers for money every time Iturn my hand over, but what makes me mad is to see the Democrats iving ali the money they've got to spare to Repub- can niggers, and taking it for grauted that I'm going to work for their ticket for nothing. That's what a man gets for being a Democrat. Tatum comes up here last night. aud he gives a Repubii- can nigger named Wm. Jones a hundred dol- lars to work tor the Francis ticket to-day. Then there's Colonel Grit Prather, a good friend of mine between elections, who, when there was some momey to be given out gave me the go-by and recommended that Freeman Barnum hire a nigger named Tom Crawford, that bosses men down on the wharf-boat, and is a pet of Col. Grif. So Mr. Barnum gives Tom Crawford $60 and a horse and wagon to work with to-day. When it comes to talking about treating ine all right, Jim McCaffrey tells em not to bother about me, that he'll see I go straight. Well, Jim comes and offers me $20, and I all the time known what them other niggers got, go I up and tells him that if that’s all a) os he'd better keep it as he might pneedit. So that's the way I get done up, just because I'm a Democratic nigger, The Republicans ain't got a bit more sense. There's Nick Segue, who keeps a saloon on Ninth street. Well the Ewing men goes to him and gives bim $75, and I'll bet you that Crawford with his horse and wagon, and Segue with his seventy-five dollars is about a standoff for each other. That is, neither of them is any good for any vote but his own. Here lam with twenty- five men in my house, and don't know how I'l! vote ‘em. Don't know which way to turn, and since they're all acting like they owned me, I just about made up my mind I won't vote em at all.” Being further interviewed Reub, who knows the col vote pretty thoroughly, said that very few IN THE FOURTH WARD the election was being treated as a matter of much ter importance, arfi the voting was brisk. At rank Mehon's a great crowd was gathered. and, at 17:15. 65 out of 331 registered voters had voted, while at the precfnct across the street 102 out of a possible 480 votes had been cast. By noon the proportion bad increased to nearly one-haif of the istered vote. hey‘re voting a pretty straight ticket,” said Frank Mahon, “and it’s ail Democratic.“ Jn other quarters of the ward, however, it was learned that, asinthe Second Ward, there wus considerable acratching in favor of Adreon and Hobbs. Going back into the TENTH WARD, the reporter found tyat the voting was even better than in the nd and Fourth. At Four- teenth and Franklin avenue, about one-third of the registered vote was cast at 11:40 and still there were very few traces of the Filiey movement. Over at Spelbrink's. not far away, the report was the same, and the Ewing men were feel- pretty comfortable, Three-fourths of the votes up to that hour were for Ewing. Capt. Huebler, was met at Sixteenth street, stated that the e was one of tamest in all of his long experience. There had not only been ro disturbance anywhvre in the district, but there was no bustle or enthusiasm. clear out to Grand avenue, and had found no crewds and light voting, although the workers were all promising a 1 vote in the afternoon. J. Milton Turner drove up to the polls at the cor- ner of Sixteenth and Franklin avenue in a very handsome outfit and looked exactly as he did when he was Minister to Liberia. “What's the Filley vote in the ward?!" asked a re- porter of the statesman ‘There ain't any. : 3 : i H “ K : K rr N at all, In precinct witn sixty-five | cast Filey had nod, and.

Badeau was the first to arrive, be- ing driven rapidly in a carriage to the door. He immediately rushed up the stairs, wasadmitted and proceeded at once to Gen. Grant's room. A horte, at a full gallop, dragged the coupe of Dr. Shrady Dr. Sands arrived, bearing a case of instruments, although it afterwards was learned that no surgical operation was necessary. U. S. Grant, jr. and Sen- ator Chaffee,reached the house about 5:05, evidently in great pertubation. Dr. Shrady, in response to a question, said that Dr. Douglass was quietly sitting by General Grant, when the latter suddenly had A SLIGHT HEMORRHAGE ftom the throat. Dr. Douglass took such measures as were necessary and sent for Drs. Sands and Shrady. Genera! Grant said, There is no use sending for the other doctors, you are enough. General Grant spat about two ounces of blood, and then wiped the traces from his face with his hand and appeared calm and collected. Senator Chaffee left the house at 6:15. He said: “He had an injection of mor- phia at 6a. m. and I think he will live through the day. He lost a teacup full ot blood. He was so much collected that he directed those attending him to hold the vessel so that no blood would reach the floor. Dr. Shrady at 7 o'clock said that Gen- eral Grant was asleep, and thathe was doing as well as could be expected under the circumstances, He also stated that Dr. Douglass was taking a much needed rest. - 4 CRISIS PROBABLE. The hemorrhage in Gen. Grant's throat this morning was the accident that had been feared by those nearest to the patient. The immediate result was not stramgulation, as had been anticipated by those in aftendance and the General himself. Just how serious the result would be on the general con- dition of the patient could not be foretold early in the morning, but at 8:30 a. m. there was no per- ceptibie increase of debility or weakness caused by loss of blood. It is of course possible that a crisis may occur to-day, but the possibility of such 1 turn during the daylight is scarcely entertained among those best posted as to the General's cond:tion. Senator Chaf- fee's opinion this morning is that General Grant may not die during the day. and such is the opinion of well-posted persons who have no incentive or bent to be alarmists, though ali hold themselves in readiness for any critical developments. The hem- orrbage this morning iu General Grant's throat was arterial blood. The General seems not at ali alarmed, and the family was not very greatly frightened. The hemorrhage was due somewhat to the increase of the disease, and was induced by a momentary fit of coughing. The probabilities are that he will survive 0-day. ; STEADILY SINKING. At 12:45, Mary Alice Brown, an artist, whom the General bad patronized and befriended some time ago, called and was told by Harrison that the Gen- eral was steadily sinking. Ex-Senator Chaffee re- turned to the house about 1 o'clock. * Lee's Surrender to Grant. Battrwors, April 7.— Col. Chas. Marshall, chief of General Lee's staff, speaking of the surrender at Appamattox, and of the meeting of Generals Grant and Lee, says: “When shown into the room, General Grant advanced and shook hands with General Lee. The Federal commander was in undress uniform and without side arms, while Gen- erdi Lee was in full uniform. General Grant, by way of apology to General Lee for coming without his side arms, said that his sword was with bis baggage, and because of his desire reach tho place for the conference, he had hasten on in undressuniform. This was the only allusion to a sword that was made at the interview. After the terms of Surrender were settled, Gen. Grant ex- plained that he was advised that General Lee's force had a number of federal prisoners who, like their captors, were out of rations. Gen- eral Sheridan replied that he could supply 23,000 rations. General Grant then instructed him to send 25,000 rations to General Lee's commissary. After the interview General Lee asked for General Williams, and thanked that officer for the kindness shown to dis son, Gen. Custis Lee, who had been captured sev- eraldays before. When Gen. Lee and Col. Marshall rode off, the Federal officers filled the front porch.” Col. Marshall is not sure that Gen. Grant was among them, for his thoughts were busy with other matters at the time.

C. Jennings at the head, had the effect of increasing the interest in the municipal election, and shortly after the polls opened at 6 o'clock this morning, large crowds congregated around the different vot- ing places. to discuss the merits of the different can- didates and the probable result of the election. Before 9 o'clock, however, all doubts as to the re- sult of the contest for the mayoralty were dis- pelled, and it became evident that Maurice Joyce good majority.

It is reported that in view of the complications in Asia, the Governments intend to dispatch a mili- tary commission to Teheran to renew the negotia- tions with Persia which were begun by Disraeli, bnt dropped by the present Government. Prof. Vam- bery's article stated that in a few years Russia will penetrate to within close proximity of Herat, part- ly by way of the Caspian Seaand partly from the left side of the Oxus, by railway through Merv. In the meantime she is raising among the Turcomans a military force which will equal the renowned na- tive regiments of India. She has already 6,000 Turcoman cavalry, armed with European rifles, and well drilled, under Colonel Lopatinsky, who are in every way ready for invasion. The Paris corre. spondent of the London Times claims to have ro- ceived from various sources intimations that the prospect of a war has roused the dormant hopes of themany oppressed heterogeneous peoples who comprise Russia's Empire, and who have been sub- persecutions. They would giadly welcome any alliance which would enable them to reject the tyrannous yoke of Russian rule.

White Star Line steamship Germania, which left here Friday after- noon for New York with 850 passengers on board, bas returned here, having encountered a terrific Saturday night, when the vessel was about 500 miles west of Fasnet. a tre mendous storm began to rage. This continued with unbatea fury for the space of ten houra On F day morning the waters were in the wildest commotion. The vessel was repeatedly struck by tremendous seas. The pilot-house was destroyed. All the boats were \ghtssmashed. Then a tidal wave of enormous force and volume burst into the reading room, smashed through the bulkhead and poured ina great flood into the grand saloon and the state rooms. The passengers were thrown into great commotion for a time, but none of them were burt. The captain and officers remained cool and self. possessed throughout, and acted with excellent judgment. One seaman was lost and several were injured. The steamship suffered such injuries, though the engines were not damaged, that it was considered unwise to proceed on the trip.

France wants a good many things much more than she does a erevised Constitution; but Constitution tinkering has been a favorite amusement with French statesmen since Lovis XVI. was pulled down to make room for Mrrapgav, Danron, Ropss- rn & Co.—anti Brisson is only playing the same old tune, hoping to gain a little cheap popularity thereby.

For a number of years alarmist stories have been current about the spread of a feeling which identified loyalty to Islam with hostility to British rule But all of these stories seem to be effectually dispelled by the spontaneous and enthusiastic support offered to Great Britein in her Afghan difficulty by the Indiana rulers.

The Prince and Princess of Wals cross the channel to-night, and the long-talked of Irish tour will begin to-morrow morning, when the royal pair land at Kingstown,” proceeding thence to Dublin. It is hardly necessary to say that political considerations, not pleasure- seeking, are the provoking cause of this tour; 9 | and it is quite safe to say that if pleasure alone were consulted, the tourists would certainly stay at home. For the utmost they can antici- pate of a pleasant character, With any degree of probability, is a more or less enthusiastic reception by a very small minority of the pop- ulation, and polite indifference, mingled with contempt, from the very large majority. In other words, one-fourth of the people will recognize and treat them with the courtesy and cordiality ot thoroughly loyal subjects, while the remaining three-fourths will see in them only the representatives of a hated rule to whom disloyalty is the height of patriot- ism. When, after five hundred years of Anglo- Irish history, such a proportion of the ruled cherish such sentiments toward the ruling pow- er, the simple fact has a meaning and signifi- cance which can neither. be ignored nor over- looked in any intelligent estimate of the present and future relations between the two countries. All the arguments that .ever have been, or can be, made in for of English government of Ireland, are as dustin the balance compared with this single undisputed, indisputable fact. De TocgvevILieZ, in his “Ancient Regime of France,” says, in substance, this: I find, after most careful inquiry and examination, that the ancient regime was universally de- tested, therefore I am compelled to believe that it was detestable.” The same logic forces the same conclusion in regard to English govern- ment of Ireland. Not that, in modern times, at least, this government was intentionally made detestable; on the contrary, since the be- ginning of the present century England has undoubtedly tried to make it just and equitable, from her standpoint, if not generous and beneficent; and the efforts of the Glad- stone Administration in that direction, however unsuccessful, have been stronger and more persistent than any which preceded them. Let, in spite of the many and great reforms in administra- tion, in spite of increased parliamentary representation and the promise of more and greater reforms which that increase necessarily invol ss, the Government has ap- parently gained nothing in popularity—if, in- deed, it has not lost. The yoke has been light- ened and padded, but it is a yoke still; and the nation that wearsit is no more patient, no more disposed to accept itasa permanancy in 1885 than in 1708 or 1650. What are the detestable elements in a gov- ernment so generally detested by the governed? They may, we think, be summed up in the fundamental] political truth enunciated by Jefferson: All governments derive their juat powers from the consent of the governed.” Ireland has submitted to English rule, but never consented, and never will consent. Sub- mission has always been accompanied by pro- test, and always will be while submission con- tinues. There never has been, never can be, any real union between England and Ireland; and the norainal union will last only so long as it is backed by British bayonets. Take these away, and the two nationalities, divided only by afew miles of water, would at once be as far apart in everything pertaining to politics as if all the oceans rolled between. Irish inde- pendence is the only solution of the Irish prob- Jem; and sooner or later, peaceably if it can, forcibly if it must, independence must come. If the future King and Queen of Great Britain and Ireland do not see that there is no satisfactory redress of Irish grievances possible short of recognized Irish nationality, and that such recognition, whether near or remote, is inevit- able, then they are utterly blind to the plain- est and most palpable signs of the times, and might just as well, so far as valuable informa- tion is concerned, have gone to Nova Scotia or the Cannibal Islands, In a letter to the Postmaster-General order- ing the suspension of the Postmaster at Rome, N, Y., President CLEVELAND sounds a loud, sharp and decisive note of warning to all offi- cials who may be found delinquent or inatten- tive to their duties, expecting to make scape- goats of their incompetent or unfaithful as- sistants. The reports of the inspectors under President ARTHUR had shown the Rome Post Office to be a badly managed concern, and that the requirements of the law had been persist- ently ignored in the keeping of its accounts and the making of its reports. Buta petition from the best citizens exonerhted the Post- master, laying all the blame on a subordinate, and as all deficiencies had been covered with cash, he was permitted to remain in office, and the Senate took no action when President CLEVELAND nominated another, vice the pres- ent incumbent, to be removed for cause. Hence the ad interim suspension, in making which the President gives notice that he will do all lu his power to rid the public service of officials who neglect, or permit their subordinates to neglect, their official duties. A few examples like this of prompt removal or suspension for neglect will infuse a new spirit into the service and make civil service reform an exceedingly had built to it.

The opera was given more smoothly and with better effect than at the last on- gagement of the company here. The costumes are new, and several advantageous changes have been made in the cast. Mr, George Boniface, jr., took the part of Yon Folbach, formerly filled by John How- son, and he throws lite and spirit into the character. Miss Alice May, who was lll before, appears in the part of Jonotha, to its manifest improvement. Miss Bertha Ricci as Falka, Miss Ray Samuels as Edwige, Miss Vinton as Alexina, sing and act as admirably as ever. Herbert Wilke acts with spirit and sings magnificently as Boesias; Alfred Klein is as comical as ever as Brother Pelican. H. A. Cripps as Taucred and Harry McDonough as Arthur, were excellent, while handsome Miss Standish made a graceful captain of the guards, Miss Leslie fills a minor part with charmi arene and effectiveness.

Speaking about the fast mail service, Postmaster Wells said this morning: “When the New York train which arrives here at3 p.m. is on time, a special down-town delivery will be made at 3:40 o'clock daily. The St. Louis mail arrives at the foot of Courtiand street, New York, at 8a. m; the same minute almost as the arrival of the Chicago mail, and if the Chicago maiis are in time for the New York Clearing House why the St. Louis mails must necessarily be so also. ADVERTISING A TENEMENT HOUSE WRECK. in the Post-Dispatch is the best investment in the city. The Walls of a House Cave in and Bury the Body of a Dead Man. Yesterday evening at 6 o'clock the south wall of the building in the rear of 1512 N. Ninth street fell in, burying in its ruins the body of William’ Smith, colored, who died last Saturday night. Smith's re- mains were laid out ina room onthe ground floor awaiting burial and his wife was visiting the neigh- bors endeavoring to collect money to defray the funeral expenses when the accident occurred. . The bedy was dug out of the debris shortly afterwards, and removed to the Morgue, where it now lies. Aside from a few bruises and cuts on the face it escaped mutilation. Mrs. Smith will have her busband’s remains taken to a neighbor's and the funeral will take place this afternoon. The house was occupied by two families, and was shaky aod unstable. During a fire across tue alley from it some two months ago, its walls and roof were deluged with water as a precautionary measure. The soaking loosened the mortar and bricks in the walls and rendered them very unsafe. In addition to this the water main immediately alongside of the foundation burst two weeks ago, undermined the walls and flooded the ceilar. No attempt was made to remedy these defects or to strengthen the building, aud the wreck of yesterday was the nat- ural consequence. The buildingis owned by Mr. A. Shields, who values it at $800. The loss to the inmates is estimated at $500 additional, PEALING IN WILD ANIMALS. A Steady Natural Increase in the Stock of the Zoological Gardens It has always been a favorite conceit with the public that ammals rarely breed in captivity, and that a zoological garden, except in very rare in- stances, is a charnel house of wild beasts’ bones. It is hard to make it understood that the managers of such gardens ever derive any income from the natural increase of the wild animals, and it seems to be the general opinion that to keep such exhibits of the living curiosities of forest and field entails a constant expense that can never be reduced by the revenue erivead from sale the products of the cages. at once be abandoned as baseless when the Zoologicai Gardens at the Fair Grounds are considered. The overplus of animals has grown 80 reat the past year that a number of fine mens ve been shipped in the last few days. one lot, urchased by a menagerie in Pp Texas, were sold a buffalo, two yaks and an eik, the total price paid being 8750. n, including eopards, pumas, a sacred bull and @ large Cape buffalo, is ready to be sent away.

[Troy Press. A STUDY OF HANDS. Handshaking, Gesturing, Putting One’s Thumb to One's Nose, Etc. From the French of Eugene Mouton. The true character of the hands isto be sought for in their movements. It is in their power of expression that the orator, the singer, the actor, find the inexhaustible source of their finest efforts. In prayer, in pain, in joy—when or when he supplicates—his man hands u lifted, lowered, or hovering in space, seem to be sowing his thoughts in air, just as grain is scattered to the winds by the sower. In all our social relations, is not the hand the veritable medium of exchange between hearts? It gives the welcome, it opens hospitality, it friendship—it is 7 the hand that we con- vey the visible sign of the bond which unites two affections or two destinies. And what as to that still stronger feeling which Idare not name! If the hands were — for nothing else, would not their value in seem to us inestimable as a talisman’ Except the feet —which are a little too low and too far away—the hands constitute those parts of the body which can be extended to the greatest ce; and when there are two young people alone, it seems that, by some providential ar- rangements, their hands instinctively approach each other when extended. We may look at other portions of the person, but that is all!—while we can take the hand, or can give it—in fact it is not simply a pleasure to do this, but an absolute duty—and under cer- tain circumstances politeness demands that the kissed hand be We may. therefore say that the hands are the the ambassadors of the soul; mans and and that to their kindly offices niost hearts owe their alliances, since, at certain difficult mo- ments, they can express what the lips would never dare to say. 2 * There are very striking relations between the expression of the face and the part played by the hands. areful observations will reveal the fact that an impassive face is never to be seen in the same person whose hands are char- acter istically active in gesticulation; nor is a highly éxpressive face ever seen in those whose hands are always motionless. Of course every man makes more or less gestures;—of course character, education, habit, race, all have more or less influence in regard to the expressiveness of gesture; but these same influences invariably affect the play of the features also, and show themselves in asimilar manner. Before attempting to enter into any analysis of the movements of the hand, however, we must lay down one = rule, viz., that y as well as the mobility of the gn pew nomad (outside of all usuall activity of special influences of character or surroundings) is an almost tis ede of cerebral activity, minute handling something, or who keep moving their all the time if they have nothing to such persons are near- augurs well for their future intelligence.... a In regard tothe movements of the hand we can classify according to a few general princi- ples. Whatever tends to open, to spread out the breadth, truth, sim- hand, signifies clearngss, plicity, facility. Whatever feeling causes the hand to clench itself, to close, to diminish rn ap , is connected with obscurity, limitation, doubt, complication, difficulty, The more energetic and rapid these move- ments are, the more violent and sudden the feeling or the intellectual action which inspires them, There are certain gestures which have become so identified with certain sentiments that their definition is equivalent to a vert. We mere say show one’s fist,” for threaten;“ we say „point one’s finger at a person” to designate malice. The gestures of designation, of warn- ing, of precision, indicated by more or less ten- sion of the indexfinger, are too well known to dwell upon.

In all ex- sive sentiments—such as frankness, confl- ence, conviction, affection—the gesturer dis- plays his hands with the upwards, Among the Mo who have the religious feeling so strongly pronounced, prayer is said with the arms extended upwards, and the palms turned toward heaven. The same gesture is made in the Catholic rite at the most solemn moment of the service, ‘he contrary is observable anywhere in the ordinary manner of giving one’s hand. While a frank handshake is 13 with the hand of- fered palm up, acoldly polite, or reserved greeting is the reverse; certain h tical or timid people never offer their hand in an open manner. Generally speaking, to offer the hand palm downwards isa sign of repulsion or dis- trust. This may bef confirmed by notie- ing whether the the arm refuses to bend, or whether if drawn forcibly toward you the still remains down by reason of the play of the articulations of the bones of the arm and wrist. For we know that in all feel- ings of repulsion the arms are naturally drawn Close to the body. ‘ The palm is the face of the hand; it is the principe seat of touch; it is by means of its sur- tace that we place ourselves in contact with ob- jects and with men; itis par ) the medium of communication with all that sur- rounds us.

If we con- sider the cogres of elevation to which each gesture is raised, we can perhaps 9 di- vive with correctness the classes of thoughts to which it belongs. Ifthe hand, in ma its gestures, is elevated as high as the or nearly so, it is because it is Dearing witness toa purely intellectual operation. If it is litted to the neighborhood of the _ heart or the epigastrium, it is testi- fying of feeling only, in order to give the expression of that feeling more communicative wer. If it is brought lower than the waist, ts gestures simply emphasize deteruginations of the will—actions or facts over which neither intelligence nor feeling have control. Besides the mere observation of facts which any reader can verify for himself, I may add that the invariable law of symbolism finds a very plausible pe commen in this matter ;—it is in the nature of every intelligent or sensative being to bring its instrnments of Sia to be expremed;, and. ten. eccondingty to ; a man y raises his to his head orto his heart to witness what he thinks or feels, precisely as an animal displays its to the best advantage when it was te or licks its wound when it is hurt.

Finally his father anf the teacher both said it was of no use to try to teach Sam anything, because he was de- termined not to learn, But I never gave up. He was always a GREAT BOY FOR HISTORY and could never get tired of that kind of read- ing, but he hadn't any use for school houses and text-books.” „It must have been a great trial to you,” Indeed it was,” rejoined the mother, and when Sam’s father died, which occurred when Sam was 11 years of age, I thought then, if ever, was the proper time to make a lasting im- pression on the boy and work a change in him, so I took him by the hand and went with him into the room where the coffin was and in which the father lay, and with it between Sam and me [said to him that here in this presence I had some serious requests to make of him, and I knew his word once given was never broken. For Sam never told a falsehood. He turned his streaming eyes upon me and cried out, “Oh mother, I will do 4 8 anything you ask of me except to go to school; I can't do that!’ That was the very request I was going to make. Well, we afterward had a sober talk, and I concluded to let him intoa printing office to learn the trade, as I couldn't have him running wild. He did so, and has gradually up enough education toenable him to © about as well as those who were more stu- dious in early life. He was about 20 years old when he went ON THE MISSISSIPPI AS A PILOT. I gave him up then, for I always thought steamboating was a wicked business, and was sure he would meet bad associates. I asked him it he would promise me on the Bible not to touch intoxicating liquors, nor swear, and he said: ‘Yes, mother, I will.’ He repeated the words after me, with my hand and his clasped on the holy book, and I believe he al- bat ay kept that promise, But Sam hasa good o now who would soon bring him back if he was inclined to stray away from the right.

Madeline Devoluay learns that her lover, the Duc De Viliflor, is false to his plighted troth. She does not know he is nniless and, therefore, is not troubled with a sense of humilai- tion when sbe gives her hand to Dakoiar, the biack- ot course, she sfill loves the Duka, and on her wedding day when that unhappy young man confronts her in her husband's house, where he Ought not to be, there is qu te a scene. oreover, he manages to make her believe that he is not so bad as be seems, and she very foolishly gets upon the ber knees and asks his forgiveness. Hear- ing Dakolar's footsteps, the Duke secludes himself upon a obaicon many hundred feet above a rocky shore, and when Dakolar having found his glove approaches the balcony to look fur its owner, the Duke jumps over. Then Madoline goes mad, and after recovery, does not remember anything much, and the Duke, MIRACULOUSLY ESCAPING DEATH, falls in love wih Made line's cousin, while Dakolar prowls around generally and does occasional heroic acts when he is treating his weak-mioded wife in a very haughty and foolish manner, Of course, ali it comes ont right after five acts have been performed, but it is Vv tiresome. Pruned of at least one-third of its ogue, Dakolar might be an effective piece, though the superficiality of its personages and its lack of humor, pathos and idelity to nature would still be in tae way of success. The play is certainly of too little merit for a sta e 80 pretentious as that of the Lyceum, and, what is even more astontsning. its performance last evening de- veloped some shockingly bad acting. Mr. Joseph Franklin, for instance, in the character of an old bully, described on the bill as retainer, ‘‘a wild-eyed, long-haired fellow with a vociferous manner and a catarrhal distressing.

Once or twice, as in the scene with Madeline after the wedding, he touched his hearers by his maaly, unaffected way, but in this very scene he soon gave way to tue prevailing tendency, and SHOUTED RECKLESSLY when noise was not caied for. Neverthe less, Mr. Mantell's performance mads an ble impression. People who saw it will desire to see him in a character more worthy of his abilities, Miss Viola Allen is a handsome young lady, whose acting is as yet too mannered to be wnolly pleasing. She gives abundant promise, though, and is lixely to improve with proper study. She was the Madeline. Me.

THE PERFORMANCE OF ‘‘FAVETTE.” The comedy drama ent:tied Favette,“ which was represented at the Union Square Tawater last even- ing, is founded upon a novel by Ouida. As pre- sented 7 Union Square last nigut, Favette is divided 1 four acts and expounded by twelve speaking characters. The heroine, who is intro- duced on the bills as “a wife,” maxes her first ap- pearance in the garb of a village naiden in readi- ness forthe operations of a cbiropodist, and her last in a white cashmere amid the drapery of Bae some ill-known verses of Shelley's. During the turee hours occupied by the performance of the Favette undergoes much persecution. She is ternpted by an Eaglish noblemaa of the languid type, who lures ber to ruin by the promise of a visit to Paris. She is patronized wy a Frencn duch- ess. She is hated by an elderiy lady with a tawny wig and profusion of steel ds, which heralded her approaca like the noise of a pair of poie- chains. This person begms by assisting the Eu- giish nobleman iu ais design upon Favette. and ends by discovering that sne is the girl's moth- er. The revelation brings about her death, which occurs on a divan in toe center of the room, where she was tindiy rolled upon toe floor by a sympa- thetic fellow perf rmer. Fave:te, moreover, is loved for a whie by the Earl of Esmoad, a4 gentie- man of bigh li and economical prociivities, evinced by the removal of js gloves before the inception of a violent scene with wis iong lost brother.

Stevenson said to-day that he considered that the new sanitary force had done excellent work. The large majority of them, when they began work three weeks ago, were new to the business, but, under Mr. Francis’ direction they had quickly learned what they were required to do and how to do it, and at present they are covering the ground admirably, and making such an inspection of the city as it never had before. “The people are responding well,“ he said, “to the invitation given them by our officers to remedy evils discovered by the latter, and in the few instances where they fall to do so the pressure of the law is brought to bear with satisfactory results. Lands are being drained and filied up in different parts of the city. We have attack first those places where unsanitary conditions are known to exist, and a great change for the better is known to have resulted. I have applied part of the department fund tothe purchase of 200 barrels of copperas, fifty of which are on hand in this building ready to be placed in the ponds aod sink holes not readily amenable to the draining process. Already the sanitary condition of the city is greatly im- roved and the work is only fatriy begun thus far. Where the people are too poor to do the work themselves, we shall step in and do it for them. It is a thorough job which is going on, and when it is accomplished St. Louis will be the most salubrious city in the land.“ Nicholson’s Liquid Bread or Pure Malt Extract isa sure remedy to overcome g maladies.

DETECTIVE TOM HENNESSY To Answer a Charge of Conduct Unbecom- ing an Officer. At the meeting of the Boardof Police Commis- sioners this afternoon, Detectige Hennessy made answer to charg:s of conduct unbecom- ing an officer. In detail the charge is that Detect- ive Hennessy circulated the report that Chief Har] rigan was working for Ewing's re-elec tion, and that Gov. Marmaduke intend- ed to remove the Chief as soon as the elec tion was over, together withtwo other members of the department supposed to have sinned against the executive pleasure in the same way. These state- ments were made to Chief of Detectives Burke, who prefers the charges on the ground tnat such conduct is pre ju licial to the discipline of the de- rtment. When Detective Hennessy was ques- ioved he said that he had heard the statements from Rudolph Kornberger, a saloon-keeper at Fourteenth and O’Falion streets. The subject will be investigated to-morrow if a quoruin is secured. You can save money by buying watches and dia- monds at Hess & CvuLBERTSON's, 22 N. Fourth st. SANITARY WORK.
