Brapriretp: Dear Sir—My daughter has been suffering for many years with that dreadful affliction known as Female Disease, which has cost me many dollars, and notwithstanding I had the best medical attendance, could not find relief. I have used many other kinds of medicines without any effect. I had just about given her up, was out of heart, but happened in the store of W. W. Kokler several weeks since, and he, knowing of my daugh tors affliction, persuaded me to buy a bottle of your Female Regulator. She began to improve at once. I was so delighted with its effects that I bought sev- eral more bottles of it; and knowing what I do about it, ifto-day one ot my family was suffering with that awful disease, I would have it if it cost $50 a bottle, forI can truthfully say it has cured my daughter sound and well, and myself and wife do most heartily recommend your Female Regulator to be just what it is represented to be. ’ ‘ H.

New Yor, April 27.—Capt.

His recent jour- ney from Kansas City to appear in court against days ago, on the New Jersey side of the Hudson, he sought a secluded. and, as he supposed, secure place of refuge, and decided not to take the risk of appearing in New York before it was necessary.

At their suggestion he wrote to Dis- trict Attorney Martin and to Superintendent Wall- ing, declaring that he had reason to believe that his life was in danger, and calling for protection. In response to this appeal Detectives Von Gerichten, Slawson and two others, it is alleged, were sent over to the Captain's Jersey rctreat,and he was escorted to this city, and is now in a New Tork hotel practically UNDER GUARD OF THE DETECTIVES. Aman who seems to be in the secrets of the radical Irishmen says that they know where the Captain is, and will keep track of him wherever he goes. Thisstory is in active circulation among Irishmen of both sides of the dynamite question, and is acommon subject of talk among them. Among officials it is more difficult to get any talk about the case. Superintende nt Walling, however, on being roused up last nigh t and asked about it, refused information in such an equivocal and evasive manner that there is no doubt that there is something in it. | AFFECTS HIS HONOR.

Judge Thayer this morning overruled the motion to set aside the non-suit in the case of Augusta Grund against the St. Louis Exposition and Music Hall Association. The plaintiff sued for $5,000 dam- ages for injuries sustained by ber husband, who fell from a scaffold in the basement of the Exposi- tion building last summer and which ultimately re- sulted in his death. At the trial of the case the ted and a mo- was made to set this aside. Judge Thayer holds in substance that Grund's death was caused by the negligence of his fellow- employes in the same department. The only negli- gence table to the Exposition Association, it that could be called negligence, is that a piece of scantiing was bought by it with a knot in It. This piece of scantling was used by Grund's fele low-workmen in constructing the scaffolding from which Grund fell. This was negligence on their part which released the defendant from li ability.

A TELEGRAM FROM LUMSDEN. Mr. Gladstone, in the House of Commons this afternoon, read a telegram dated Saturday last from Sir Peter Lumsden, the chief of the British section of the Afghan boundary commission. The telegram stated that Mr. Stephen, a member of the commission, had started for London, bearing maps of the disputed zone; also a detailed state- ment of all the circumstances leading up to and at- stated that Sir Peter Lumsden would himself for- ward to Earl Granville, the Minister of Foreign Af- fairs, a statement showing the actual position of affairs as they now stand.

The Contest forthe Fourth Missouri District Revenue Office. A Lively Scramble for Collector Stewart's Place—Contracts for Mail Service in Mis- souri Awarded—The Successful Bidders— Special Treasury Agent—New Postmas- ters, By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch. WasHIxOrOx, Apriz F. Representative Cosgrove of Missouri is here for the purpose of looking after the * — of his constituents, and expects to re- main it) Washington for several days. He says the Administration is thought very highly of, and the only dissatisfied element in the West is the office seekers. From conversations he has had with lead- ing Democrats, he learned that it was not expected that the Administration would make a clean sweep, but would pursue a more conservative plan and gradually reward the workers of the party. For the present, it was desirable that prompt action should be taken about internal Revenue collectors, and Mr, Cosgrove's —_ object is to secure the appointment of ohn M. Samuel of Columbia as the successor of Collector David A. Stewart of the Fourth District of Missouri. It was understood that the incumbent has tendered his resignation totake effect the 10th of the next month, but no record of that sort can be found at the Treasury Department. Secretary Manning will be interviewed on the subject by Mr. Cosgrove to-day, and his attention will be called to the indorsements of Mr. Samuel, now on file. There is another applicant for this place in the person of Mr. Voorhees of Hanni- bal, who is also a brother-in-law of Representative- dect Hutton. The latter is here, also, and proposes to see Secretary Manning to-day. Mr. Voorhees was indorsed for this coilectorship at the meeting of the Missouri delegation shortiy after the new Administration came into power, and this recom- menaation is still in force, Commissioner of Agriculture Colman has gone to Boston to attend a convention of cattle raisers, at which the subject of pleuro-pneumonia will be the priucipal topic of conversation. He is not expected to return befere Thursday, when Mr. Nesbitt, the suc- cessor of Gen. Carmen as chief c erk of the Agri- cultural Bureau, will be formally installed. Rep- reseniative John J.

MINISTER THORNTON 8S REPORT. Sir Edward Thornton, British Minister at St. Petersburg, has reported officially respecting the Russian views of the last noteof England, asking for an explanation of the conduct of Gen. Komaroff at Penj-deh on March 30, in view of the report made by Sir Peter Lumsden, contradicting the Russian commander's story of the battle. Sir Edward Thornton reports unfavorably, GLADSTONE CARKIES HIS POINT. The proposal to separate the Soudan credit from the “credit for special preparations,” was rejected by a vote of 229 against 186. The House then entered into committee of sup- ply, and Mr. Gladstone proceeded to explain the object of the vote of credit. The Pre- mier's speech indicated that he was suffering much from horses. LUMSEEN'S MESSENGER. In answer to questions.concerning the Afgban question, Mr, Gladstone stated tixet Sir Peter Lums- den, the British Commissioner, had tele- graphed the Government that iw was sending one of his staff officers, Captain Stephens, to London, with full Information relating to Gen. Komaroff’s action in the battle at Penj-deh between the Russians and Afghans, and that Captain Stephens was personally cognizant of many of the Russian General's movements previous to and during the battle, and since its oc- currence. In the meantime,” said the Premier, “the parleyings between, England and Russia will be continued.“ EXCITEMENT IN POLITICAL CIRCLES.

KNAPP? _ Mysterious Disappearance of an At- torney Sent on an Important Mission. - — — Novel Development in the Contest Proceed - ings—Mr. Hoblitzelle’s Side Fails to Put in an Appearance at the Supreme Court— Contest Notices Not Yet Ready. It was expected that the attorneys for the Grund committee would have their notice of contest ready to serve this morning, and that the main fight would be inaugurated to-day. In this, however, they are compelled to disappoint an anxious public, a the documents are not quite ready yet. The time specified by law within which they must give notice expires on Wednesday, and hence if they really mean fight they must show their hand by that time. The gentlemen who are most deeply interested in the result declare that they do mean fight, and seem more flerce than ever under the influence of bright sunshine and balmy breezes. Opinions dif- fer as to what the result of the contest will be, but the minority of those who are urging it seem to be more bent On exposing frauds in two or three of the large wards, and securing the conviction of the men who petrated them, than on unseat any of the 5 who recently took their seats. In fact it is only a small majority who believe that any change in the general result will be eff by the contest. On Saturday both parties to the recent mandamus case expressed a desire to have the appeal disposed of by the Supreme Court at as eariv a day as pos sible, and pursuant to that agreement the plaintiffs sent Mr. A. Taylor to Jefferson City last night to bring the matter before the court there this. morn- ing. and to present the case for the contestants. It was supposed that either Mr. Bell, Mr. Kna or Mr. Steber wouid go up in the interest of Mr. Hob- litzelle, but a telegram received by Col. D. P. Dyer this morning from Mr. Taylor stated that Mr. Hob- litzelle’s attorneys were present, and that the Court took the case under advisement, LOOKS LIKE A TRICK. “What's the explanation of the non-appearance of Mr. Hoblitzelle’s lawyers at Jefferson?” asked a reporter of Mr. John P. Eilis. don't know, Im sure. It looks to like a trick. I don’t like to believe that of the gentiemen on the other side, especiaily after their professions in the letter they wrote us on Saturday that they were very desirous of securing an early determination of the question. But what other explanation is there? Not only did they make those representations in writing, but we had a distinct verbal agreement that both sides were to be represented in the Supreme Court on Monday, and an applica- tion was to be made to have the case set for agreement without delay. In order to make sure that there would be no mistake, I told Mr. Steber, who is on record asof counsel for Mr. Hoblitzeile, and whom I met on Saturday afternoon, that we would certainly be on hand in court, and that we trusted tue other side would not disappoint us, We had paid the cost of @ transcript ourselves, and we did not want to waste two days on a fool's errand to Jetferson City, unless we were assured the other side would be there. He said he would go right to Mr. Hobiitzeile’s office and make sure that tuere would be no disappointment, The next thing we hear is this teiegrain, which states that Mr. Hoblitzelle was not represented in court. What are we to believe? Doesn't it look like a trick to put us to ali the expense and trouble possible, in order to gain a few days’ time on us!“ But does it MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE? If the other side is not represented, won't the court consider the application anyhow?” “It is not at all provable. In the first plact, it is the otner side aud not ours, that appeals, and they are the ones from whom the ap- plication shouid come. In the next place, cases are only advanced when both parties appear and con- sent to their advancement. In all probability the court has taken the case under advisement, and will simpiy order it to take its place on the docket, to be reached in regular order. Ine court cannot take any notice of what arrangements we lawyers may have agreed upon out of court. I declare I am amazed at these tactics. failure ot Mr. Hobiitzelle’s lawyers to appear, the reporter hurried to the City Hail to learn, if possi- bie, what was tne explanation. He met City Coun- sellor Bell, who was just coming down town. Mr. Beil, who was to represent Mr. Hoblitzelle in the Supreme Court this morning?” asked the news- man. “Mr. Vernon W.

Speaking about Washington, the President and politics toa Post-Dispatcn reporter, Mr. Hasbrook said that he found everything very pleasant at the cap- ital. They are all wonderfuily clever people out there,“ said he; the Democrats are a little excited and thrown out of gear by their sudden acquisition of 2 and the great responsibility which the feel rests upon them as a party, but everybody is pleased with the manner in which resident either Democrats or Republicans, ndividualiy concerned, why lam almost sure of my appointment to the Collectorship of the Sixth District, but still there may be a doubt you know; just when a fellow thinks that he has a good strong taii hold on this American eagle of ours, the bird flaps its wiugs and flies away, leaving him with ew worthless feathers for all his trou- ble. What I do think. the policy of the Ad- ministration will be with regard to the removal of Republican office-holders whose terms have not expired and what would the Republican Senate do if the rascals were all turned out, eh? Well, [ thought the policy very well de- nae yn this time. In my humble opinion there w for grumbling So far as I am NO REMOVALS EXCEPT FOR C4USE, and as for the Republican Senate, why, I don't think that they will endeavor to bulldoze the Presi- dent; not much! There is no disposition on their to do anything of the kind. The very best of feeling prevails toward Mr. Cleveland in all quarters, and he will pull through with very few squalls. By the way, you might say that the Missouri Congressmen are all working faithfully to serve their constituents m the matter of procuring appointments, and. a number of them have remained behind in Washington for that very purpose. “Which of Missouri's representatives closest to the President? Tho two Senators come first, I think; Cockerell may havea trifle the best of Vest, but not very much, Both are very friendiy with him. Then Heard has done some very good and hard work in that direction, as has also Dockery When success first struck the party, our friends in Wash- ington were rather taken aback by the vovelty of their position and did not know exactly how to go about obtaining an appointment; but by this time they have familiarized themseives with the depart- ments and can catch on to a vacancy and work in a “successor” as neatly as aeybody, They have the whole modus operandi at their finger’s ends, and poor old Missouri is safe. By-by.“ stands He Hit too Hard. Minnie Currie filed a suit for divorce to-day from her husband Ormand A. Currie, whom she says she married in Annapolis, Maryland, in 1874. In De- cember, 1884, Ormand came home drunk one night and raised a regular circus in the house. He be- gan by abusing her, then he slapped her, shoved ber over chairs and tables, wrenched her arm and wrist, causing her to cry out with “extreme pain and anguish,’ and finally wound up the show by a first class knock-out.» From this little escapade she was laid up for ten, days, he refusing to send for a physician for her. Subsequent to this, he repeated these little seances at regular intervals, until the 14th of this monto, when she threw up the sponge and left him.

Entirely NEW PATTERNS, —— m — | THAT FAST MAIL. nm New York Bankers Say the Adject- ve Fast“ isa Mistake, - — — And That the Mall Delivery in New York i Not at All Facilitated by It—Local Pos Office Authorities Admit This and Give the Reason. — —— ä — On the day that the fast mail system went into ef. fect between this city and New York, the Fer Disraron published a number of interviews reflect ing the views of the general business public upon the benefits that would result to the city by the gain in time. Mr. J. . Birch, — cashier of the Laclede Bank, expressed hig opinion, which was tothe effect that the fast mail was but little improvement on the old system, and that the banks would not be benefited by the change. This morning Mr. Birch received the fol lowing letter from the president of a large banking house in New York, which states his side of the case plainly: New York, April 22, 188). “J, T. Birch, Cashier Laclede Bank, St. Louis: “We beg to notify you that our 2 office authorities inform us this morning that Mon- day isthe only day on which matter sent by fast mail reaches the Post Office already assorted. 04 all other days it comes unassorted and is not ready for delivery before 11:25 o'clock. This is too late not only for the clearing house but for our messer. ger service on day of receipts. Letters and Adams“ xpress reach us about 9 o'clock, in time for al purposes.“ APosr-Dreraron reporter called at the Post Office to ascertain if the facts regarding the delivery of the fast mail were the same as _ recited in th above letter. MR. SEMPLE, Assistant Postmaster, when approached upon the matter this morning, said: I am sorry to say that so far as a speedy delivery of the St. Louis mal which is carried on the fast train to New York s concerned, it does not come up to our expecta tion, but we are hard at work upon endeavoring to perfect the system and hope to suc- ceed having the mail distributed immediately upon its arrival in New York, within a short time. I have been out of the city for a week past and Mr. Har low, who has been giving this matter his close a tention, is better abie to inform you upon it,” The reporter saw MR. HARLOW, who said: “Well, the whole explanation in sub- stance is as follows: Tue train which leaves bere at 7 p. m., denominated the “fast mail,” ar rivesin New Lor three hours ahead! of the oll time. This train carries the mail, but by reason of the rules regulating the railway mail service, the train does not carry a postal car, and the mail gung in the baggage car of course arrives at New York unassorted. “The mail leaves here ina postal car, does tt not?’ “Yes, sir. But the mail service crew which assorts the New York mail does not come aboard the car until it reaches Pittsburg, and at that point the postal car is switched off and waits for the regular, old- schedule train, which geis to New York at 11:20am. Our mail is taken out of the postal car unassorted and goes on ahead with the fast mail train, arriving in New York in bulk, It takes considerable time to arrange t all for distribution, and practically I suppose the fast mail is of very little advantage to our bankers. The only way in which to remedy the defect 6 have the postal car go onthrough to New York with the fast train, and we are now correspouding with the proper authorities with this end in ve At the office of Mr. Warfield, Supe iutendent of the Railway Ser vos, the reporter was informed Warfield was out of the city, but Mr. hart, his chief clerk, volunteered the following:“U% about that fast mail, well, yes; we've been in guts into the matter, butyou know this department, ‘i werless to remove the obstacles in the way speedy distribution in New York. The fault hes in the fact that the postal car in which the mis leaves this city is switched off at Pittsburg, and cu mail transferred to the bagrare ent before tho New York malt chert; Da” an opportunity to assort it. If 921 railroad won't the postal car on the fast 15 ¢ train, why there L nothing in their contract 1 the Government by which they can be coin ao so. The fast train is one of their own projects I understand the tal-car would siow the train considerably if takem on to New York, and that the road company refuse to carry it through, except on the regular train, unless allowed increased com- nsation.

The total earnings of the 5.987 miles operated last year are given at 824.514.367 98; against 5,961 miles operated in 1883 for $37,278,725 65, quite a falling off when the fact is published that last year twenty-six miles ad- ditional road was being operated. In the operating expenses, however, the retrenchment ot the man- agement is shown. Last year the operating ex- penses were $21,782,875 24, as agianst $22,981,149 59 in 1883. In connection with this increase of a mill- jon, it must be remembered that the tracks were inundated for a long time on the New Orleans the Texas and Pacific as well as on the Irom Mountain the surplus earnings last year footed up 812.784.802 74. Generally speaking, 1884 was an off year for railroads. The report on coal trafiic forms an interesting feature of the main report. The to- tal tonnage of coal mined on the entire system in 1854 was 1,002,972 tons, of which 429,844 tons were gold for commercial use and 578,128 used by the company, The total tonnage received from con- necting lines was 514,287, of which 171.976 tons were tor commercial cousumption and 342,311 for the use of the .

ANOTHER COMPANY “SPOTTED.” The Insurance Department Contemplating a Raid on a Peoria Association, A “mutual benevolent” association of Peoria, which established an office hereafew days ago, is receiving the attention of the insurance depart- ment, which regards it with suspicion, and it is not improbable proceedings will be instituted against it in a day or two. The agent of the concern is Mr. press. Mr. Becker in the Granite building, and 1s offering inducements by. advertisement to the victims of the Provident Protective Association, for the purpose of securing their patronage. Some correspondence has already —1 between the de ent and the company’s officers at Peoria, but it has not been satisfactory to either side. Mr. Becker, being called on to-day, ex- hibited the articles of incorporation of his company, which were taken out in Illinois in 1867, and which declare the association to have for its purposes benevolence, sociability, mutual improve- ment, etc., etc., just like the charter of the Occi- dental. He also exhibits letters from the State offi- cers of Mic New York, Connecticut and Penn- sylvania, which show that the company is allowed to do business in each of these States without being amenable to the insurance law. He says he intends to operate by starting branch societies here in dif- ferent parts of the city, and be thinks he will be able to show that his company does not come within the jurisdiction of the Insurance Department. Everything goesto show, however, that it is an insurance company, plain and simple, and that little or no pretense is made of maintain- ing social, educational or benevolent features. Tnose who insure in it must take their chances on the solvency of the individuals who constitute its officers in Peoria. as there is no provision in its in- corporation articles which gives the members any check or guarantee against breach of contract. The company has instructed Mr. Becker to employ Col. Ledergerber and make a fight incase the de- partment institutes proceedings against it. Artist Materials, Largest variety, lowest prices.

The art reception at the Pettes Galleries Satur- day afternoon and night,, in aid of the Bartholdi Pedestal Fund, wasa brilliant success, and was without doubt, the finest event of the kind ever given in St. Louis. The model of the statue of Liberty on its pedestal, as it will appear when com- plete, was greatly admired and was one of the most attractive features of the reception. The exhibition of fine works of art was superb however, and the occasion was one oO thorough enjoyment to all who attended. The floral decorations were rich and handsome, and delightful music was furnished by Spiering's band. The reception was attended by a large num- ber of people, anda handsome sum was realized for the estal. Owing to the uncertain state of the weather in the afternoon, and the unpleasant weather in the evening, many who were desirous of attending were unable todo so, and Mr. Pettes has received many uests to continue the reception this afternoon and to-night, which he has consented todo. The reception will, therefore, be repeated this evening with profuse floral decorations, with the same orchestra and the same superb collections of works of art which were exhibited Saturday. No lover of art can afford to miss this opportunity of viewing the exquisite gems which are entirely new to the people of this city. The reception will be held until 10 o’clock to-night.

Wheat Fluctuating—A Probable Boom in Corra—Provisions Featureless. al by Telegraph From Piekering & Co, Chicago, Dispateh. te the ost- CHI ., April 7. opened greatly un- to the advance in con- settled and nervous, owing sols and dull cables; but there was a good demand at the decline, mainly on country account, and the price was held steady after the opening break. Gradually it worked up half a cent, but but broke on a raid by Jones and Ream, and their following. For a time the feeling was weak, with many local scalpers selling freely on expectation of lower prices, which falled to ma- terialize. tern orders Ocal bulls then took hold, sending the price quickly a full cent above the price that Jones was a frantic seller at. The market ruled firm after this, enough orders comin in from time to time to absorb the offerings of loca bears. Private cables generally agree with bohm that the market was and lifeless, but not lower. Everybody is waiti developments very much as they are here. No importance was placed in crop reports to-day, although lots of them were in the news- papers and coming in by wire all the time. Re- cei pts at Western points were 432 cars. The export movement is reported small. The crowd expect about 1,000,000 busheis decrease in the visible sup- ply. Exports from the seaboard last week were only 810,800 bushels. The market closed steady and u. Oats were slightly weaker than Saturday, owin mainly to somewhat free selling by Driver, whi led local traders to sell. Corn opened weak, but was soon steady under Lester's buying, which was supplemen by Nor- ton, Worthington, J. A. Ellis and Poole. These parties bought a geat deal of cern during the day, making a strong market. The opinion prevai among close observers, that the a bove parties have a common interest, though, proba bly, Poole should be excepted, and they intend to boom prices after a while, but no one seems to think a corner“ will be attempted. Receipts show a slight increase and the crowd will watch this point very sharply. The market closed steady. — were steady, without any prominent eatures. . St. LogBis Afternoon Board.

Ne York wheat showed considerable strength this forenoon, and in response to an inquiry as to the cause, J. C. MacGinnitie received a telegram that fresh war news had been received, but that the market had no real strength. The Markets, FORENOO N SESSION, CLOSING AT 1 P. M. Wheat—The first gun was not fired this morni an news, while not ceful, wasno more war-like than it has been of late. English consols were reported up to and Russian bonds also higher; market cables were quiet and featureless and the weather in the winter and spring wheat sections was beautiful. The consequence was some tall hustling to sell at the opening. Some of the traders, who loaded up — in expectation of streng war news and sharply igher market, were anxious to elk, and as the bears took advantage of tne general weakness to pound the market a decline of 134¢ was soon effected. Chicago and New York both went off early inthe day and intensified the depres- sion at this point. July opened e lower at $104% and broke, with very few intervening sales to 61 0434. A reac- tion to 91 04% followed, but on the early call was easier at $1 044: afverwarda gathered more strength and about 16:30 o’clock there was a sharp demand on quite a boom in New York. Sid Francis led in this buying that soon carried J to $1 0544, a marked scarcity F at this time givin a very bullish cast to the market. Subsequently there wasa re- lapse to §1 0454, then a recovery to $1 0554, which was reached after tne noon call, a drop back to $1 (UN and then up again to $1 0044, finally closing at 61 0474, the same as it opened.

What else did they expect? Tue Czar of Russia has gone to Moscow to write out his proclamation of war. He will publish it in the Post-DispatcH in advance of all competition. : THERE is no one in the whole country who will not celebrate GRANT’s sixty-third birth- day by hoping that the old hero will live to enjoy his sixty-fourth. — .! — Mn. HOBLITZELLE works as hard to keep the people from getting a loox at his poll-books as if they concealed something crooked. Mr. HOoBLITZELLE is placing himself in the attitude of an offensive partisan.” —_—_—_—_—_—— Ir times are hard in this country, they are undoubtedly much worse in Europe. The spring immigration movement is setting in, and its volume has hardly been exceeded dur- ing our most prosperdtis times. ~-~ — —— Tur news that the Duke of Connaught is to be put in command of a division of the English army shows that the English have “either & low opinion of the fighting qualities of ‘the Russians or a low opinion of the value of English soldiers’ lives. — — Ir is now stated that the British forces are to be withdrawn from the Soudan. While Great Britain has been losing her time and spending twenty millions of dollars doing nothing in Af- rica, Russia has pushed her outposts some two hundred miles nearer to India, having com- pleted the occupation of the Turcoman country and having appropriated a good slice of terri- tory which undoubtedly belongs to the Af- ghans. — - Ur to date the largest individdal contribu- tion recorded for the benefit of the Bartholdi pedestal in St. Louis comes to us through the liberality and enterprise of our well-known art dealer, Mr. Henry B. Perres. His contribu- tion is all the more acceptable because it rep- resents a popular subscription from the visitors to his charming reception. To-night the Star Roller Skating Rink will give its benefit, and we expecta lively competition between. the lovers of art and the devotees of the roller skating cult. THE reported dissatisfaction with President CLEVELAND greatly resembles those reports of fever and ague which are always referred to the next county. When we attempt to locate the dissatisfaction, and trace the rumors to their source, we invariably find that the author of the rumor is well pleased himself, but that he has heard that the Democracy of some other place is not at all pleased with the presidential slowness in making removals, Meanwhile the President has been in office less than two months, and if the election were to be held over again he would gain several hundred thousand votes from people who do not want offices, but who only want to see the offices well filled. — — —u¼— Tux withdrawal of the United States protoo- tion from the town of Panama at the time when it was most needed seems to have been an inexplicable mistake. When we undertook to carry out the provisions of the treaty of 1846 and to guarantee freedom of transit across the isthmus and to sustain the legitimate Gov- — ernment we assumed a responsibility that could be discharged only when both Aspinwall and Panama were handed over to the care of the _ Government. If we were not prepared to do + that we should not have interfered at all.

It is to be hoped that Panama will be reoccu- pied by Admiral Jovrrr before the otherwise inevitable slaughter begins. — RAILROAD CONSOLIDATION, The bill which has passed the Illinois House of Representatives authorising railroads to consolidate with connecting roads when two- thirds of the stockholders approve such consol- idation, is regarded with uneasy suspicion in that State, and the Senate is urged to reject it. There has been no public demand for the enact- ment of such a law, no statement of public benefits to flow from it. The public interest may be promoted by consolidation of lines in some cases, but the proposed law would facili- tate consolidation where the public interest would forbid it and demand competition. It is charged also that this legislation would enable the Illinois Central to loge its identity in a con- solidation and thereby evade the obligation im- posed on it by its charter, by its land grant and by the Constitution of the State, to pay 7 per cent of its earnings to the State Government. As the revenue from this source relieves the people of Lllinois from a heavy tax burden, the Legislature should take no risk of jeopardizing the collection of that 7 per cent. There are some decisions which raise grave doubts as to the effect which a loose law permitting consolidation may have upon the prior liens, obligations and franchises of the consolidated properties. Even now the Eastern holders of Wabash securities are protesting earnestly against Judge BREwWER’s recent de- cision as destructive of all prior liens in cases of consolidation. He merely decided that the Wabash receivers could not throw up the leases of non-paying branch lines, and must continue to operate them, pro bono publico, keeping the whole system going, whether each part paid its way or not, and meeting deficiencies with re- ceivers’ certificates which would have a lien on the earnings prior to that of the original road’s first mortgage bonds. Itis almost invariably the case that an act passed by the persistent lobbying of railroad influences has more in it than appears on its innocent-looking face, and it is safe to assume that this proposed consoli- dation law is not an exception to the rule. . 22 — SOMETHING in the popular composition and social life of our Territories inclines them in the direction of new ideas and experiments in government. Woman suffrage, polygamy and several other innovations more or less startling have borne witness to this tendency in our embryo States. And now comes notice of a serious movement in Dakota to prepare her for admission into the Union with a Constitution which wil! relieve her altogether of the burden of a State Legislature. In lieu of that pro- voking and troublesome kindergarten of states- manship, it is proposed that Dakota’s people shall elect a Governor and a Council of State composed of five members, to hold office for two years, and during that time to appoin United States Senators and all non-elective of- ficers, and submit to the people for approval or rejection such legislative propositions as public sentiment may indicate or the wisdom of the Council may suggest, no law to be enacted or repealed except by a direct vote of the people. This, it is claimed, will abolish caucusing, log- rolling and corruption by bringing the aggre- gate wisdom and interest of the masses to bear against the operation of all special interests. If the Council of State coald be kept free from improper. influences and could be insured to work according to the theory of this new sys- tem, it would certainly bea new departure in the direction of a more republican form of gov- ernment, but it is open to the practical diffi- culties which make a pure democracy less de- sirable than representative government with all its faults and short-comings. OnE by one our fresh young diplomats are making a record. When Isaac BELL, jr., was appointed as Minister from Newport to Hol- land, it was supposed that he had done nothing to earn distinction except play polo and be Jim BENNETT'S brother-in-law. But at a dinner given him last week in Newport he was pre- sented with a costly gold watch charm of fine workmanship with the inscription “In per- petuam rei memoriam.” This being translated into English means “in perpetual memory of the event.” The event was a dinner given by Mr. BxLL in Washington to the gentlemen who gave him the dinner in Newport. Thus the world learns that our Minister to Holland once nag dinner to some of hi§ friends in Wash- ———ß5ß53is3iv3 Why Beef is High. From the Philadelphia Times. There was a decrease in the number of cattle be- tween January, 1884, and January, 9885, in the Kast- ern States, including New England, New York, New Jersey and Pennaylvapia, of 27,181 head. The de- crease in the Southern States. including Texas, was 96,814. In the five Western States east of the Mis- sissippi—Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan and Wis- consin—the increase was less than the loss in the South, or about 90,000 head. These figures show an actual decrease in the number of cattle in all the States east of the Mississippi and including Missouri, Arkansas, Louisiana and Texas west of that river of nearly 86,000 head, leaving the increase, if any, to be confined entirely to the Northwestern States and Territories. In the whole of a territory where the aggregate cattle number nearly 20,000,000 head, there was an actual loss, while in the States and Territories of the Northwest, where the total is a trie more than one-third of that number,. there was a gain of 10 per cent. In the Pacific States and Territories the gain (was. insignificant, being — than the proportionate increase in popula- It is probable that the mania for growing w and corn for export has had muchto do with yee slow growth of the catile business.

Women with heart enough to love five or six hus- bands in succession, and with energy enough to kill them off one after the other, are often of an obese temperament and are inclined to forget the old love in the enjoyment of the new and let the dead fel- lows alone. There is none of this meanness in the Kentucky beauty. She blends her pleasures of the present with the memories of the past and proceeds as of old. Husbands whose health and youth are falling while their wives are still buoyant and youthful may take some courage from this monument, “To My Husbands.” Of course the aspiring widow will Marry again if she can, but the gentlemen in a de- clining state may remember the generous Kentucky beauty and hope that their surviving and remarry- ing wives may follow ber example. The Virginia Decision. From the Boston Herald. . It is not pleasant to think that the decision of the Supreme Court of the United States in the Virginia tax coupon cases, which seems to be so important in its scope, rests upon a quibble. On the one band, there is no question that the “readjustment” law of 1882, known as the “coupon killer,” impaired the obligation of a solemn contract made b Virginia with its creditors in 1871, and that is contrary to the Constitution of the United States. On the other band, the Eleventh amendment of the Constitution of the United States denies the jurisdiction of the United States Courts in cases where citizens seek to enforce claims against a State. Here is a direct conflict, but the majority of the Court, in making the recent decision, dodge it by adopting the view that the action of the coupon-holders was not against the State, but against the tax collector. This is what we call a quibble, for the tax coilector is an agent of the State, aud without agents the State cannot act. The previous decision, which was the other way, was based on the Eleventh amend- ment, which was later than the provision about contracts. 2. MEN OF MARK. Ir is not Mr. Keiley who declines; it is the Italian Government. Since leaving the White House ex-President Ar- thur has gained in weight. 1 GENERAL GRANT has promised to see that his doc- tors’ graves are kept green. Lon Lorng is likely to supercede Lord Spencer as Lord Lieutenhnt of Ireland. JAMES WRITCOMB Riutey’s lecture agent denies that he is the poet to be married. New York physicians are advising the public to let early strawberries severely alone, Mr. VANDERBILT is said to sleep with a copy of Burke's Peerage“ under his pillow. GENERAL Grant's physicians are feeling ag well as could be expected under the circumstances. Ir may fondly be hoped that both Halstead and McLean are not as black as they paint each other. Ex- COxanxssMAN Converse will be pushed by John R. McLean for the Democratic nomination for Governor of Ohio. CaRpinaL Newman, in spite of his eighty-five years, has resumed preaching at the Edgbaston Oratory. Or of every 100 toughs, roughs and gamblers to be found in New Orleans at least 80 per cent hail from Chicago. ; J. A. CHURCHILL, a linen merchant of New York, is being strongly urged for the office of Collector of the New York port.

Doremvs charged a Virginian $250 for ana- lyzing a pint bottle of liquid found in the road, and it didn’t turn out to be whisky after all. Dom Prpro, the Emperor of Brazil, has reigned for fifty-three years—longer than any other living sovereign, He was but six years old when called to the throne. Kenwarp Phu was awarded $5,000 in his libel suit against the New York Tribune. The libel was contained in the charge that Philp was the author of the notorious Morey letter. ‘icRE is a report that Cleveland is breaking down. Just what he is breaking down is not stated, but there are to be a good many changes in the minor departments of the Government. e Enrron Henry Lasovcuers, of London Truth, oru- elly yet truthfully declares that the present Karl Cairns, better known as the late Lord Garmoyle, is a reductio ad absurdum of the principle of heredi- tary legislators. PrNNSVLVANLA has furnished eight Ministers to the Russian Court: George M. Dallas, Benjamin Rush, James Buchanan, Albert Gallatin, —— Welsh of New York, William Wilkins, ex-Senator Cameron and ex Governor Curtin, In appending his signature to his letters the Presi- dent writes “Yours truly,” Arthur wrote Faith- fully yours,” Garfield, Very truly yours,” and Hayes was content to sign himself in the stereoty “Respectfully,” or “Sincerely yours.“ AND now they are quoting the views of Dr. Sir Henry Thompson, the eminent. London authority, as an expert on “eancer cells,“ but at latest ac- counts our own Drs. Shrady and Dougias were ahead of all competitors on cancer sells. Poor Lonn Tennyson is furnishing another gad example of that dreadful consequence of failing powers, and inability to perceive that one's powers have failed, The verses on The Fleet,“ from Lord Tennyson's pen, are indeed sad reading, coming froin the author of “The Charge of the Light Bri- gade and the ode on the Duke of Wellington. It would almost seem as if somebody ought to be punished for letting them see the light. WOMEN OF THE WORLD. ELLEN TERRY, itis said, will not wear widow's weeds. Mrs. Mackay is going to Englaud to have her sons educated, : Lobi CHANDLER Mouton is looking at the blue of Venetian skies.

Mus. Grorcs Vanpannorr, a retired actress, died in New York recently. She was known in this city by old theater · goers. having played at the Walnut as Julia in “The Hunchback.” Her maiden name was Makeath. Tux wife of the Rev. Dr. Clinton Locke, the emi- nent Western clergyman, is one of the most promi- nent social figures in Chicago. She is about 89 years of age, with brown eyes, white hair, fine fig- ure and very commanding address. Counrgss Giapys of Lonsdale who has been will- ing to marry several people, and who wanted to marry Durham provided he could get rid of the wife already on band, asserts that she will marry De Grey early in July, but many London club men are making big bets that she won't. Mrs. MansRALL. Figip, the wife of the Chicago millionaire, suffers extremely from bad health. Her style of dressing is peculiar. She has a great fondness for odd hand-made laces, and; notwith- standing her cedar cases are packed with speci- mens of lost art, she cannot resist the purchase of any web that takes ber fancy. Mrs. Grorex M. Puniman, the wife of the palace car manufacturer, says one who is evidently an ardent admirer, is a plump little woman of about 40, with beautiful blue eves, black hair, teeth of cocoanut whiteness, and little hands and feet that were apparently made to wear jewels and walk on roses. She dresses exquisitely in the house—most of her dresses being imported—but on the street is severely plain, wearing neither colors nor jewelry. THE METROPOLITAN PRESS. What the Editers of the New York Journals are Saying To-day. By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch. New York, April 27.—In its editorial columns to- day the Wor.ip says: “An esteemed Republican contemporary is gracious enough tosay tliat Pres- ident Cleveland's ‘Inexperience, which was {known before the election, ought to induce a lenient con- sideration of his mistakes.“ As Mr. Cleveland has made fewer mistakes than President for the t quarter of a century, in the first seven weeks of his administration, the generosity of our con- temporary is remarkable. THE TIMES. The Times says: Even the most antiquated of the Democrats have now given up all hope of a ‘clean sweep,’ but it is to be hoped that their wishes may be gratified in part by some further scrutiny and purification of the service. A ‘sweep’ that would leave the departments at Washington and the chief federal offices in the country clean of the worst roducts of the spoil system would be welcomed y all right-minded Republicans quite as heartily as by the most ardent Democrats. it is worth while to point out to the President's advisers and assistants in executive duty that the appointment of unworthy men now wil! neutralize the effect of the dismissal of unworthy incumbents later on. The Administration's new broom should do clean } sweeping both ways. THE SUN. The Sun says: “There is something truly sepulchral in this remark of our esteemed con- temporary, the Waterbury American. ‘It would show appreciation of merit it Ohio Republicans carry out their talk and elect R. B. Hayes to the Legis- lature.’ Probably the Ohio Republicans fully recog- nize his faults and merit, and understand that the hen house, not the State House, isthe piace where he belongs. But just to see if he can be fairly elected to the Ohio Legisiature, it might be inter- esting to wake him from the roost once more. He would be mighty glad to get the salary, aud prob- ably his neighbors would be mighty glad to get rid of him forafew months. H he should be elected, however, ic would give the Ohio Legislature a bad name. ' THE TRIBUNE. The Tribune says: President Cleveland is re- ported as saying thathe intended by his acts to influence the colored men to vote with the Democrats. That is a praiseworthy aim, If hecan make the conduct and the policy of his party such that colored citizens will support it, he will make it an infinitely better party than ever before. Here, if nowhere else, reform is necessary, the sage of cipher alley used to say. There is mo other reform go much needed, indeed, as a reform of the Dem- ocratic party in its spirit toward and treatment of the colored citizens, If President Cleveland can work out that great reform; if he canso complete- ly make over and regenerate his pa that a colored man can vote for it with some seif-respect, and without feeling meaner than Esau when he sold his birthright fora mess of pottage, he will do a great and good work.” ANSWERS TO CORKESPONDEXTS.

An invitation is to-day extended to the officers of the Occidental! Life Association, that they come into association. The papers were drawn by Mesers Ellerbe & Hicks, for the Insurance Department, but in the name of the State of Missouri, they had to apply to Mr. Ashley Clover, torney, to secure the use of his name in the proceeding. The application merely recites with the usual verbosity of legal phrase, t hat the company above mentioned is conducting a business in violation of law and asks that it be put upon its defense. On the face of the per the court cannot but grant the writ, and the sheriff must then serve it upon the company’s officers. Since the removal from No. 2017 Olive street, the location of the company headquarters has been something of a mystery, and it is not at all improb- able that the sberiff will fail to find anyone on whom to make service of the writ. If he returns it not found.” the court will doubtiess forfeit the charter, as in de- fault cases. Speaking of this subject of wild-cat insurance, Superintendent Carr remarked: It looks to me as though Missouri is being invaded by some of the stragglers of the ‘graveyard insurance’ army, which DID SUCH A RUSHING BUSINESS some time ago in Pennsylvania. and was finally broken up by a vigorous prosecution.” “Why was their business termed graveyard in- surance?’’ asked the reporter. „Because of the peculiar class of their risks. Ordinarily. you know, insurance com- panies seek for and refer as risks people who have good health, vigor and the money with which to pay their premiums, The grave- yard insurance companies have no use for such risks. They gotoa poor houseor insane asylum, or anywhere else that helpless and indigent people live, and they, of their own motion, write out a pases on some poor old man or woman who seems o be on the brink uf the grave. Then they adver- tise that they have such a policy for sale. Here, then, is a chance for that speculative class which can de found in If y pretty well, as a number of the risks died soon after the policies were issued. This only served to make that species of speculation more popular, After awhile, however, the men who made invest- ments of that kind began to discover that the poor devils on whose speedy death they nad wavered their money were far more tenacious of life than they had estimated. and as every additional year of their lives was 80 much profit to the insurance compa- — the life gamblers grew disgusted. Finally the tter RESORZED TO MURDER in order to get theif money back on the policies, and several cases were discovered where the poor wretches ou whom policies were issued were put out of the way by violence. This created a great uproar, and when the explanation was made that the murders were the result of 8 with ‘Graveyard Insurance companies,’ the latter became exceedingly un- popular that they were forced t0 abandon the fleid entirely. Since thea ali sorts of irresponsible in- surance ente have been more numerous in the West. and it behooves the State officers to closely inspect every form of company that asks for public 2 But what remedy would you propose?” “I proposed one over a year ago, but it did not find as much favor then as it would now, I think. I urged the enactment of a law which would require all ‘benevolent* or ‘scientific’ associations, which carry insurance features, to make a semi-annual report of the condition of their insurance airs to the Superindent of Insurance. I did not propose to give the Insurance Department any con- trol whatever over them, but simply to enable the organizations and the neral public to know the condition 0 the insurance affairs of each society. There could certainly be no harm whatever to the societies in such a course, and it would be quite a strong pro- tection against bogus concerns which ASSUME THE DISGUISE of societies. Thesereports should be made under oath, and this would enable any one, in case the ex- hibits are falsified, to prosecute the persons who makes them.” ; It may be remarked here that a law was passed at the last session which will make it much more difficult for bogus companies to obtain charters from courts thau heretofore. As the law stood, the courts simply referred an application for a charter of that kind, to some attorney, who based his recommendation en- tirely on the representations made in the applica- tion. Now, however, the attorney has a right and it is his duty to go behind the petition and inquire into the rea! designs of the parties making the ap- plication. Under these conditions he assumes a responsibility, and if a concern turns out to be bo- gus after he has recommended that it be chartered, the public will have aright to demand some er- planation from him. One strange fact is noticeable in connection with the cases of wüd-cat companies that have recently been brought to the notice of the i They appear to have had vo difficulty at all in securing permission to ap- nd the names of reputable citizens to their circu- ars as a bait to the unwary. For instance, no bolder or more transparent swindle has ever thrived in this city than that of the Provident Mutual Protect- ive Association. And yet Offuth and Berkstresser, the men who pocketed the profits of the concern, had 14 no difficulty in inducing Mr. H. B. Hutchinson, of Meyer, Bannerman & Co., Mr. E. A. Angelrodt. of the H. B. Pettes Importing Company. and Mr. Burton Burgick, the artist to allow their names to appear as directors on the printed . of the com In the case of the “Occidental”, Messrs. Hiram W. Grover and R. S. MacDonald. neither of whom KNEW ANYTHING WHATEVER as to the character or record of the men who com- posed the company, allowed their names to be rinted as references. which was certainly calcu- teti to inspire the average St. Louisian with con- fidence in the strangers. All of this dobutless comes from the fact that toe gentlemen in question were simply careless, and did not like to say no when re- quested to simply allow the use of their names. Judge Thayer, when the “Provident Protective“ affair was before him recently, was very severe in his remarks on this feature oft case. CONFISCATED MEAT.

While these efforts are being made to ald the fund by generous managers and individuals, the general work of collecting should not be allowed to slacken. It ia in the masses of the citizens that success must ultimately lie; in their interest and enthusiasm and patriotic endeavors to prepare for.the reception of the superb gift of France. There fs now no time to lose, as the date for the arrival of the stupendous statue is rapidly approaching. It bas already been placed on board French vessel which is to bring it over and will start for America the first part of next month and is expected to errive about the Wth. Of course it will be impossible to have the pedestal ready on its arrival, but the work should be well started and there should be money enoveh in the hands of the American committee to warrant pusbing the work ahead so as to have the pedestal completed by July 4. The foundation mass is all finished and the pedestal rises now toa height of about fifteen feet. Pienty of money will enable the evugineer-in-chief to make extra exertions aud to erect the handsome pile in the style and height originally proposed.

I have heard that the real question at Springfield is whether one or two cor- rupt men will be able to make a definite sum of money. There are, in both parties in the Legisla- ture, one or two members anxious to sell out to the highest bidder. These members are from Chicago. The only man who can command the full vote and be elected is the man who would be willing to buy these obstructionists. The candidate who is will- ing to buy, cannot receive the support of the ma- jority of his party.

He is pursued even more by his friends than by his enemies. There is no doubt but what he regrets his having given up the peaceful security of the Senate. t is most troubling him now is the way his footsteps are dogged by old friends, who’ are worrying the life out of him for the few appointments that he has left at hia dis The storm of criticism which has been concentrated on his head for the giving of offices to his friends has forced him to cry a halt in this direction. The general criticism of Mr. Bayard’s course is approved b bis Cabinet associates. They all thin that he has gone too far, that he has taken matters too much in his own hands, and has not been willing to even consult with his associates. It would not be at all surprising if Mr. Bayard suould resign during the year. 2 * General Bragg, of Wisconsin, who Is in the city, made quite a reputation for himself when he was in Congress, figuting old claims. He told a story the other nieht of a little bill he was once asked to support. He had made it a rue when he was a member not to 5° out into the lobbies in response to the cards of lady cailers.. One , early in the week, a small card with a mourning band came in to Gen. Bragg. It was from a Virginia lady. The General refused to go out. Each day the card came to him persistently, Thursday of that weex the General fancied that he saw a tear stain upon the corner of the card. It had such a pathetic look that he no longer resisted. He went out into the lobby, and advanced to the center of the ladies’ reception room. “Is there a lady here who wishes to see Gen. Bragg? said he in a low, deep voice. At thisa piain-iooking woman in deep mourning stood up in the corner of the room. Gen. went towards her and said: “What can I do for oy madam?” Shereplied: ‘““‘To-morrow is private u day. Ihave a claim on the calendar which I hope you will not oppose.“ Ah, said the Gener “I would like to know something about tuat bill if am not to oppose it. For what is the claim?“ Sue said in answer to this: It is for several thousand fence rails taken by the Union troops from my father’s piace, for clover tramped down by cavalry, and ferthe rent of ground occupied by several of the Union regiments for drill practice.” “Was your father a loyal man!“ asked Gen. Bragg. “He was a loyal man, she said, “although very vid.” “Where was your father’s piace?” It was near Fairfax Court House. Just this side of Hun- ter's Hill.“ “You interest me, said Gen. Bragg. “] was in camp myself iu that vicinity during the war. lam very glad to know that there was one loyal person in that neighborhood. According to my memory there was nothing there but mean rebels, andthe oider they were the meaner they were.“ The claimant's face flushed at this as she said with a tart suap, Well, I reckon you Yankees got paid for everything you lost. Good-day.“ said Gen. Bragg. And as the story goes it was also good-day for the little bill. A rural Democrat who had bought himself a new suit of clothes from the village store near his farm, came on to Washington to witness the turn of af- fairs in Washington. lsaw him seated in a South- ern Senator's room the other evening. He was waiting patiently to have a word with the Senator. He sat modestly in the background and apparently treasured up a speech which he was ready to deliv- er. When the Senator was ready he turned about to hisealier. The rural Democrat stood up very stiff in his new grey clothes and said very solemuly: “pir, last year woen we erected a hickory pole in our village the boys put a rooster on top ot it. Atter the election Il advised the boys to go up and naila broom up along side of the rooster. They did so. 1 have come on to Washington for the purpose of seeing bow th are going.

The man was at one time & captain in the Forty-seventh Regiment of the Line, British infantry, and received an excellent education. He was obliged to resign on &coount of his dissipated habits, and had to leave the country for his family's sake. In. this country he engaged at first in meroantile pursuits, but soon began to drift downward, and eventually became a tramp. His relations allowed him an annual sti- bond. which was sent to the ca re of J. M. Desmond, a shoemaker, doing business at No. 8 Wall street. He was one of the best-hearted fellows — saw, sal r.

THE CREOLE. —_— An Interesting Lecture by Charles Gayarre, the Historian and Jurist. The Creole’s Horror of Miscegenation— Cable’s Misrepresentations in the “Grandissimes’’—A Scholarly and Able Defense—Mistakes of a Fameus Southern Author. By Telegrawh to the Peet-Dispatch. New On.teans, April 27. — The Hon. Charles Ga- yarre, the historian and jurist, delivered a lecture Saturday evening, at Tulane University, entitled The Creoles of Romance and the Oreoles of His- tory.” After explaining the origin of the word creole, from the Spanish criar, to create, and say- ing that it meant p@sons of pure white blood, he went onto show that creoles bad a horror of mis- cegenation, as shown in the Black Code,“ familiar to Mr. Cable's readers in the story of Bras Coupe,” which code remained in force after Louisiana be- came one of the sisterhood of States. That code placed an impassable barrier between the races, and rendered any relations between them, except those of master and slave, impossible. The lecturer, after extolling the oreole women for their beauty, grace and intelligence, and the _ alliances they have formed with distinguished Europeans and Americans, and the men as distinguished, both IN THIS COUNTRY AND IN EUROPE, as statesmen, authors, socialists and artists, said: In this is the population which one born in its bo- som and claiming by use of that accident the right to speak in the name of Lohisiana, and the whole — represents a little better than Gulliver's La- nos.” Mr. Ga admitted that he had read none of Mr. Cable's works except “The Grandissimes,” He quoted a Philadelphia paper saying that while _ ＋ — ees ly dull, it 7 evi- ence of faithfully po * people. This opinion being heid in the orth, it 383 portant that the creoles themselves should correct it. He then pr to discuss what he called the monstrous absurdities of the world. He said: “If Mr. Cable had represented the most distin- guished of our creole families as having forgotten to speak French, and as using only the jargon which the negroes had constructed out of that ‘ this invention would have far exceeded the limits of those liberties which fancy in its wild- est flights may be permitted to tako with common sense. But when he makes creoles prefer notthe French, but the negro patois, the broken English of the negroes of Virginia and the Carolinas, the perversion of his inteliect becomes overpowering and incomprehensi- ble. He is either ignorant of what he is writing or knowingly perverts the truth. Nointelligent creole negro could understand the jargon attributed to them. The lecturer humorously referred to the ball with which the story of the Graudissimes“ is opened. where the perfumed air of the ball-room was thrilled with wailing ecstasy of violins,” follow- ing by a burst of nter“ as fantastically absurd and = ridiculously anciful.“ He continued: „Agricola De Grandissime, introduced at this ball. — an uncouth mass of pomposity, who oould only EXIST IN AN IMBECILE POPULATION.” “The childlike badinage“ between the two person- ages who represented in the book, the refined an intellectual in creole society was the silliest that ever issued from human lips. Mr. Cable's creole always laughs when he speaks and is in all things an imbecile.” The speaker protested against the Grandis- simes aud De Grapions as types of high bred creoles, and wondered thatthe French Gov- ernment, after prohibiting the settlement of Huguenots in Louisiana, should have furnished a Hugenot fille de la Cassette with to that nr le and with a trousseau and husband upon ar- val, What did Mr, Cable mean by the ‘ill specimens’ of the three races—Indian, negro and French—from which the settierstook their wives? Evidently the least virtuous of each. This isa serious charge, and is not tem by an article by the same author in the ‘Encyclopedia Britiannica,’ in which he says: ‘A few years after its founding, New Or- leans was little more thon a squalid village of de- ported gailey slaves. Never did * bem show such hostility to his mother as Mr, Cabie has for New Orleans. I cali upon Mr. Cable to namea sin- gle one of the oid families that fell within the blighting radius of his description.

A Faithful Reprodaction of the Stricken Soldier’s Features—The General as «4 Patient and Interested Sitter for the Sculptor—The Bust to be Finished Wednesday. 1 By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch. New Yorn, April 27.—Ever since General Grant’s recent illness began, his family have been anxious to secure a portrait bust of him. When the great improvement in his condition occurred, two weeks ago, and he began to gain strength in the bright April sunshine, this hope was revived. The General himself; regarded the idea with approbation and expressed his willingness to sit for the artist. Col. Fred Grant engaged the services of Prof. Kupert Schmid, the Munich sculptor, whose busts of Pope Leo XIII and several prominent Americans are #0 favorably known. One week ago last Thursday, the artist made his first call at the house. Since then he has had four sittings, and now the work needs but a few finishing touches on the drapery to render it complete. Your correspondent saw the bust yesterday afternoon at Prof. Schmid's studio, No. 849 West Thirteenth street. It is a life size, one quarter length. A glance shows it to be a faithful reproduction of General Grant's features, a trifle too exact, perhaps, showing the sharply drawn lines which much suffering has wrought upon his coun- nance. A military cloak is draped about the shoulders in graceful folds. The bust rests upon a design of c cannons, surmounted by an “ee with outstretched wings, and the treatment of whole work is FORCEFUL AND PICTURESQUE. eady to ac- That evening I called at the to Gen. t's room. He ted me cordiallv, and, although he spoke but ttle, I was at once impressed with his kindliness. Without aid from his valet and leaning but slightly on cane, he advanced across the room toward a chair near the window. His step was was bright, and a faint tinge of red brightened cheeks. He sat down 8 resting his arm on the side of he chair, and settled into an position with his shoulders slightly drooping, and his head atrifie bent, as if in deep thought. Nowand then he would smile p tly in response to some members of the amily who addressed him, and occasionally he spoke a few words to me about art matters on the continent and iu this country. Unfortunately. my command of the English 2 is far from per- fect, so that much conversation was out of the ques- tion. The General's manner is 80 cordial that it does not require many words from him to conviace one of his good nature and ym petty. It is no wonder that all his old soldiers, host of friends, and, in fact, all of his conntrymen, are S80 DEVOTED TO HIM. After half an hour's sketching { withdrew. Since that day I have had sittings of half an hour each, and the work progressed rapidly. As the bust as- sumed amore finished appearance, the General showed much interest in it. Last Thursday after- noon I paid my last visit to him,and he examined the portrait carefully. He said: It isa good like- ness. How soon can you finish it? When I told him that next Wednesday would probably see its pletion, expressed much satisfactior. I I have obtained a good likeness,”’ said a with some pride to the bust, e sunlight in the center of his studio. “The face has a somewhat worn look, but I shall re- move that, and I feel confident that I will, after one more sitting, be able te present a faithful likeness of General Grant as he appeared before he was the cancer.

The former is a charmingly modeled figure. full of life and action, and is to be cast in bronze of ic size and placed in the new Riverside Park. Many other beautiful designs were scattered about the room and busts of Mrs. Anna Ottendorfer, Thomas A. Edison, ex-Mayor EAson, and the late Police Commissioner Nichols were to be seen. A plaster head of James G. Blaine, covered with dust, looked down from a lofty perch. “He will be in che fleid again, and I am ready Gor that contingen- cy,” said the professor as he bowed his visitor out. A BAKING POWDER TRICK, — — All kinds of schemes and tricks are resorted to by unpriucipled persons to obtain unfair advantages over their neighbors. The latest and most di shon- est of these that has come to our notice is one by which certain manufacturers of baking powder have ht to prejudice consumers inst the use of other brands that bave an estabii repu- tation as the best and purest in the market, for the purpose of introducing their own. Their meth- od, we are informed, is to heat a caa of baking pawder of a well-known brand over a lamp or stove, when, if there is a gas given off having the odor ofammonia, the powder is condémn as being made of ammonia and unfit for use. The prejudices of the unsuspecting are thus excited against the baking powder submitted to the se- called test, andthe grocer wuo has a quantity of it on hand suffers a serious loss in consequence. If the intelligent consumer will stop a moment to think, she will readily perceive that this test,“ if successful, proves nothing but the superiority of the baking powder tested. The aim of all bakin powder makers js to produce an articie that sha most readily, under use, give off its leavening gas. The powder that does this with a moderate heat, at the same time evolving the largest quantity, is scientifically the best. There is probably not an article prepared for food that canuot manipulated to prove that something is wrong about it; and when a person goes into a kitchen or before a housékeeper who is not to be presumed to understand chemical rela- tions, and performs an experiment of even tne simplest character, itis not difficult to impress one that something awful is the matter. As to baking powders, we could suggest a dozen tests that. would be as ridiculous iu giving a fair idea of their relative — an mind as tne one here mention 5 The true domestic value of a baking pouder con- leavenin To this . * — the 1 brauds have been and housekeepers have ve * ally made ip their minds which they p a and c tricksters will find ultimately that ab that — been a household favorite for years not be er el ol any tricks which they may ow.

New Yor, April 23.—The Kirmess,“ a revival of the old Dutch spring festival, which was such a social and financial success at the Metropolitan Opera House last week, reminds me that New York was a Dutch city in a Dutch colony, discovered by a Dutchman, governed by the Dutch and populated almost exclusively by immigrants from the land of dikes and canals only ten years after the death of Shakespeare, and while Rubens and Van Dyke were still in the flesh. The occasion has come to bean estabiished custom here of late years. Though several innovations introduced by the French have been adopted, the spirit of the cele- bration remains essentially Dutch. In the pictur esque little booths grouped around the wings and the proscenium arch, France, Germany, Italy and Russia were typified in form, color, ®ouquets to all who was hardly less such prominent representatives of Gotham wealth and fashion as Mrs. Astor, Mr. and Mrs. J.Coleman Drayon, Mrs. Paran Stevens, Mrs. Otis, Mr. and Mrs. Orme Wilson, Mrs. 8 George Henry War- Warren, . Douglas, Mrs. Mar- ag? ety August Belmont, Miss Marion Langdon, Miss May Bird, the Misses Gautier, the Misses Walker, Charles Harriman, Mrs. Coiford Jones, Mrs. Louis C. Jones, Mr. — Mrs, Schuyler Hamilton, General and Mrs. McClellan, outshone the Knickerbocker element of Vans and and Velts at their own N N For many years past the St. Nicholas Society has faintly perpetuated Dutch traditions by an annual dinner at Delmonico's, whereat the orange stan- dard of Holland are displayed, ana the presumptive descendants of the Knickerbockers of New Amster- dam regale themselves on French dishes, and are served by black waiters in blue and orange livery, with long-stemmed clay pi of which the bowls are fashioned like the h of ancestra! Dutchmen in three-cornered hats and perukes. In these a courageous few smoke a beastly black and salt to- bacco also alleged to be Dutch. At one of the diuners a few years ago, Ool. Alfred Aylward, the adventurous and versatile Irishman then fresh from his victories in the Transvaal, was called upon for a speech. Rising with an expression that was sol- emnity itself, he proceeded to talk with evident feeling and spirit a strange tongue, made musical by the rich Irish brogue of the speaker. He had not proceeded far when it became evident by the per plexed looks of the company, and ous gaze of the chairman, that something was wrong. His vis-a-vis relieved his visi- ble embarrassment by whispering that his words were “Greek to them.“ “I beg your pardon,“ he said in English, “but I presume that in addressing you in Dutch I used a language familiar and dear to the sons of St. Nicholas. “I thought it was Irish,” remarked Chauncey De- pew, and an actual investigation showed that not another man in the room understood Dutch. Rend- ering his remarks into English Aylward described the struggles {the brave and hardy Boers to make the desert h n gd the rose and then to preserve it against tor aggression Im AN ENTHUSIASTIO STYLE that showed him to be no prentice hand in the use of sloquent English. The sustained interest, seholariy finish and perfect symmetry that mark his “Transvaal of To-day" and his articles in Black- wood's and in Frazer's magazines were all present in his oral utterance, albeit its effect was somewhat y embarrassed delivery, a rough, guttural voice and an overlaying 1 4 For — Judge Abram R. Lawrence, a New Yorker of Hibernian forbears, has continued to hold the opener sd of the society, which numbers about members, and Chauncey Depew, whose blood is less than simple faith in being Norman, has monop- olized the speech-making. Against this state of things some of the true blue “Oid Nicks,” as they are irreverently called. have rebelled, and an im- portant secession movement is under way. A few evenings ago Aaron J. Vanderpoel, poration lawyer and president of the Manhattan Club, gave a reception at nis home in Sixteenth street toa number of gentlemen of congenial blood and breeding. These were ali real simon-pure de- scendants of the Dutchmen of New Amsterdam. After much anguished protest against the latitude of the St. Nicholas and glorification of the genuine breed, it was decided to form a new Dutch society, whose members can trace their digrees back through the male line to the early ickerbockers. Judge Hooper C. Van Vorst is the president of the new organization, and George W. Van Siclen secre- tary. The objects of the society are to collect and preserve information respecting the early history and settlement of this city by the Dutch, and to perpetuate the memory and promote the principles and virtues of the ancestors of its members and for social intercourse.” It is a curious fact that this spirit of Knickerbocker- dom presents the strange anomaly of virtnally per- petuating the civilization of the sixteenth century, surrounded on all sides by the surging life of the nineteenth, in the metropolis of the Great Republic, in perpetual contact with the most advanced mod- ern thought, social, political, literary and scientific. It is in the world, but scarcely more of it than is the calm, warm, slowly flowing current of the Gulf stream, which steadily pursues its course unru by the roar of the Atiantic’s waves beating angrily and violently — it. Or perhaps a better simile would be the solemn stiliness and serenity of T church-y in Broadway, at the head of Wall street, the elevated railways on one side and the rush and noise of Broadway traffic on the other. So it is also in the and in which so-called Knicker- bocker aristocracy origi -.

Aside from the a c interest of the book and the pleasure of Boughton's light and easy style of de- scription and narrative,I may be tted to int out that the work deserves attention for its dependent testimony to the substantial identity of the life and manners of the Holland of to-day with those of the Holland of two centuries ago.
