Closing Soenes at the City Hall Thousands of People on the Route of the Procession—Mingling of the Blue and Gray in the Universal Grief —The Start and Progress of the Pro- cession—The Services at the Tomb. New Ton, August 8.—Chief of Police Murray at 1 o'clock this morning was in command of men and affairs at the City Hall At that hour the Iron gates were about to de closed when he observed that there were 500 or 1,000 people yet waiting at the foot of the steps and across to the piazza. “Let them come in,” commaaded the Superintendent to the officers, who, at the command had out off the people. Apd then followed ten minutes of most expeditious hustling of human beings that has probably been known since the Emancipation proc. jamation. The material was composed entirely of men, and lusty policemen supplemented their ad- monitions ef haste with exceedingly effective per- suasion of a muscular character. Men and boys were shot through the City Hall with such celerity as will render the occasion to them doubly memo. able. Tho last person had at last crossed the well- worn threshold and THE IRON GATES CLANGED SHUT. The public had taken its leave of the dead General. Officers of the Seventy-first Ragiment were on duty and the usual detail of Grant Post was present as immediate bodyguard, while the Loyal Lezion was represented by one ofits members, who stood at the head of the casket. One of Wheeler Post of Saratoga, which first meunted a guard detail about the mountain cottage the day of Gen. Grant's death, was also present. The last ot the general public had shuffled away through the dlack draped c-rridorsand out of the building, The bour was 1:18 4. m. None but the police and guards and all- night reporters were present when the undertakers took charge of the remains. “Any here who now desire to view the body will step forward at once,” said the undertaker, and his voice echoed through the dark, still cormdors. All present passed by the casket and the lying in state of the ex-Prcsident had ended. Undertaker Merritt then brushed the glass pilates above the body and drew from their places the two lids which cover the casket. The four screwsin each were turned down, and the face or the dead had been closed forever from view unless there shall, in the future, come from the family a request to remove the lids, Then the dead was left in care of the guards, who ‘ STOOD ERECT AND 6I'.ENTLY within the cloSed iron gates and beneath the black drapery. The night wore on and the gray of day- light was creeping up the East. The still air of the tomb-like corridors became heavy with the perfume of withering flowers near the dead. A huge piece, “The Gates Ajar,” hada place at the head of the casket and the sweet smell of the lilies was borne down to these who stood and watched. Great horse- shoes of red and yellow rosebuds added their fragrance, and a cross and crown from Mayor F. C. Latrobe of Baltimore, sent out as ita quota to the heavy perfume that settled on the sepulchral air, P A TENDER TRIBUTE. But there was one tribute tat bore no fragrance, except such as as will come tenderly to the family of the dead. It bore no perfume save that which lives in ite memories. This teken was a plain wreath of oak leaves pioned together with stems of oak leaves, and framed in the shape of a letter G.“ Tue leaves grew on the oaks in the forests of Mount McGregor, and flut- tered in the mountain breezes while Gen. Grant was dying. Andthe afternoon of Thursday—the day he died—little Julia, his grand daughter, and little Josie, Dr. Dougias’.child, had gathered the oak leaves in the mountain roads. Then, as the children prattled, they knit with innocent fingers and loving hearts the wreath of oak leaves that is to-day the only tribute that touches the General's casket, The little ones, their Offering finished, bad taken it to Ool Graut, whose eyes filled when his daughter said: “Papa, Josie and I made this for grandpa, and please won't you give it to him?” The Colonel! placed the oaken wreath on the casket, and there it rested in Albany and still remains as the ohil- dren‘s offering. FOUR O'CLOCK HAD PASSED. The gray of dawn had deepened to red. Daylight was near. The strains of dirge music crept on the ‘PRALED MOURNFUL NOTES, and the sound of muffled drums grew fainter and The day was bern * rt LATEST EDITION a at 8 and aid the Inspector. Seven o'clock, strains of selemn musig floated in at the Miron deors from many directions. Eight oe. and nature was putting forth signals of an intensely warm day. THE OBOWDS GREW DENSER end denser around the piazza, Muffied drums and dirgeful trumpets marched in at que side and took positions at the east end. The players constituted the David's Island Military Band. At 8:50 o'clook Gen. Hancock and staff trooped slowly into the plaza from Broadway and presented front to the City Hall, then moving to the end of the plaza in Broadway, where they rested in the plaza. At this time 100 members of the Lieder- krans Bocieties fied up to the steps of the City Hall, and, led by four instruments, sang with impressive effect, “Chorus of the Spirits from Over the and “Cherus of the Pilgrims,” by Tanne THE HONOR GUARD OF REGULARS filed into the open space at 9 o'clock, followed by Company A, Fifth Artillery. under Col. W. R. Beck, and Company E. Twelfth Infantry, under Major Brown.» The companies and the guard of regulars is under Command of Col. Beck. The regulars took position beneath the trees opposite the City Hall. and stood at rest. Then camo the original Guard of Honor that was on duty at Mt. McGregor, and which into the corridors of the City Hall, they took their places beside the remains, and there, under com- mand of John H. Johnson, senior Vice-Commander of Pest of the G. A. R., of Brooklyn The men asthey stood were as follows: Left of the casket, Comrades Corwin, Howalt, McDonald, Squires, Knight and Guillam. Right of the casket, Comrades Tibbetts, MacKellar, McKeivy, Brodie, Coilina and Barker. AT 9:35 THE IMPOSING FUNERAL CARB was driven up, drawn by twenty-four jet black horses, in black trappings. It halted on the plasa directly in front of the City Hall steps. Inside the corrider, Commander Johnson was waiting. “Columbus in position right and left,“ was his command, The Veteran Gudtd of Honor was erect. “Lift the remains!” was the next command in clear, but low tones The twelve men stooped to the silver rails with gloved hands. ꝓE March!“ was the word. The body moved. Out upon the por- tico were Berne the remains, Commander Johnson immediately at the head. Down the steps with measured tread, across the open space to the steps of the black and waiting car. Commander John- son stepped aside, The silver meuntings glistened as the burial case and ITS HONORED BURDEN was carried up amd placed upon the dais of the mounted Gatafalgue. The veterans retired down the steps: The body was alone for all to view, but deeply guarded soon. The Honor Guard, next to the hearse on either side, took the same relative positions they had maintained to the remains while being borne to thecar. The steps were drawn away from the hearse, Commander Johnson took right in either the car were Comrades Dowing and Ormsby of Wheeler Post, Saratoga, respectively. Next, and directly benind these, were representatives of the Loyal Legion., abreast, as follows: Gen. John. J. Milkan. Gen. O. A. Careiton, Paymaster Geo. D. Barton, Lieuten- i Lletenant- Colonel A. and Captain K Rant. b THE OLMRGY AND PHYSCIANS. The clergy and physicians had paid their respects to the remains by aligating from their carriages and accompanving them from the steps to the car. They entered carriages on either side of the plaza, near Broadway, as follows: Rev. Dr. Newman, Bishop Haines, Bishop Potter, Rev. Dr. Chambers, Rev. Dr. Fielt, Rev. Dr. Bridgeman, Rev. Dr. West, Rev. Father Deshon, Rev. Robert Collier, Rabbi Browne and Doctors Dougias, Shrady and Sands. Colonel Beck, in charge of the regulars, commanded his companies as indicated above to position, Company A onthe right and Company E on the left of the hearse. Colored men were at the bridies of the twenty-four horses. Sixteen men of Meade Post, Philadelphia, of which Gen. Gram wasa member, were almost directly in frons of the team of black leaders, and the David's Island Bind preceded them. A SIGNAL was GIVEN, and the line of coaches with the clergymen moved off the plaza onto Broadway. ihe band stood waiting at the head of the funeral cortege. Col Beck advanced to the head of the lime of black horses before the coach. “MOVE on” were his words of command, with uplifted sword. The leaders slipped forward, led by colored and in an iastaot the black line of horses had straightened their traces, and the wheels be neath the remains were moving. The bour was 9:47. The band played a dirge, the tramp of the regulars and the Honor Guard beat upon the pavement, thousands beneath trees and crowd- ing the sides of the squares looked on the black funeral car rolling over the curb into Broadway. The black cerridors of the City Hall were silent. GEN. GRANT'S Laser JOURNEY WAS BEGUN. Then, at 9:52, Mayor Grace, Comptrolier Loew and Aldermen Sanger and Jachue emerged frem the city buildings and entered a carriage that had drawn up in front. The members of the Common Council followed and entered carriages, as did also the Police Commissioners. They followed out af the plaza as fast as disposed of im carriages, and when it was 10 o'clock the police lines were withdrawn and the people streamed across the plaza without hindrance. The last scene there was ended. THE PAbL- BEARERS, Madison Square waa long astir and troops of sight-seers were trailing up Twenty-tnird street as early as 7:30 o’cleck, when an officer on horse- back dashed up to the ladies’ entrance of the Ftfth Avenue Hotel, and, dismounting, toox his stand at the door. The peari grey sash, denoting an aide M. — |} pall bearers to their carriages. The President's In a quiet little parlor off the ladies’ parior facing the square, 4 GROUP OF SERIOUS MEN, most ef them gray-haired and old, but nearly all erect and ef vigorous physique, were putting on summoned up from his friendly confab below resplendent in military toggery, stood in friendly conversation with a tall man tn whose white mus- tache and chin beard and soldierly hearing one recognised at a glance the galiaat Confederate General Buckner, from whom Grant wrested his first hard won iaurels at Ft. Donelson Gen. Buckner was in ordinary black citizen's dress. A smaller man, similariy attired at the other end of the room, whose gray hairs formed a strixing con- trast to the leonine mane and fierce black mus- taches of Gen. Legan, with whom he was talk- ing, was the famous General “Jose” Johnston, the bravest of the brave, who succumbed to General Grant’ sword Hamilton Fish was not among the pallbearers. He was sick and the President had appointed A. J. Drexel of Philadel- phia in his stead. At the last moment it was said that Admiral Worden had been appointed a pall- bearer in place of Admiral Rowan. At 8:80 o‘eleck Colonel Hodges summoned the carriage, drawn by stx horses, was called up to the door next, but ft had fully an hour to wait. The President had signified his intention of riding He was at conversing in his pariorsonthe third floor with ex-Governors Uornell and Robinson, who had called. In anticipation of his coming out, an enormous crowd, which the police found it difficult to manage, gathered opposite the hotel entrance on Twenty- third street, and yells of “HERE THEY coms!" went up every time a delegation of Grand Army veterans, a Gubernatorial delegation, or a commit- tee of State delegates who burrowed in the big hotel, apparently in countless numbers, came out. The Grant family were quietly gathered in their parlors overlooking the square and strangers were rigidly excluded from the ball leading to their room Mrs. Grant had not arrived and it was announced that she would not attend the funeral, but bad conciuded to stay at Mt. McGregor. She was reported by Dr. Newmanto be still weak and ill, though not confined te her bed. The party gathered at the hotel ready to take carriages for their position in the parade, when the column should have advanced so far as to permit their carriages to fallin line from the hotel, where Ooionel aad Mrs. Fred D. Grant, Mrs. Sartoris and Mrs. U. 8. Grant, jr. Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Grant, Mrs. Cra- mer, Mra. Dent, Miss Cramer, General Creswell, Mr. Stephen L. Moriarity, Sener Romero and Mr. W. J. Arkell. The members of the party who from time to time appeared at the windows ag the head of the celumn began to move up past the hotel, the bands playing as they passed, were the objects of the general attention on the part of the multitudes gathered on the square. THE PRESIDENT AND CABIN 4T. At 9:20 o'clock President Oleveland called his Cabinet together, and arrangements were made for the order in which they were to leave the hotel to take their places in the procession. The hands og the clock in front of the hotel pointed to five minutes after 10 o'clock when General Hancock and General Shaler rode under its windows at the head of the procession. The sun was reflected from the maze of glittering gold on the uniforms of their staff as it trooped on behind, followed by the regulars, who in passing reversed arms, while THE BANDS PLAYED MOURNFUL DIRGES. Aleng the line of the avenue where the troops of the First Division National Guard were drawn up guns were shouldered as the General passed. The regiments of the First Division stretched soutb- ward from near Twenty-cighth street in 4 continuous line on the east side of Fifth avenue and in the side streets, the Second Battery, Capt. Earle, mounted, but without guns, occupying the extreme right. On the west side of the avenue a continuous line of Grand Army organimations extended down as far as the eye reacted. Between the files of citizens, soldiers ene side in uniforms ready to do bartie for their ceuntry, and confidentiy looking towards the future, the other battle scarred and worn, its work done, and proudly looking bac« ward over the heroic past, passed the long procession with veiled flags and muffled drunis, with arms ro- served in sadness, THE GREAT SILENT THRONG watched it go by from street and square, from windows, house tops, baloonies and porches that seemed banging in the air, 80 daringly bad they been thrust forward from the buildings by sightseers anxious net to miss the memorable show. There was not a foot of spare ground anywhere in sight,and how the police made way for the carriages, the mil tary and the marching thousands in citizens’ dress, seemed incomprehensive, but they did. Capt. Williams swung his club at the point at Fifth Avenue and Twenty-third street when the pressure of the throng was greatest, and his presence alone act d like a charm. In the crowd the utmost good nature prevailed, Every- body made room for everybody else to the extent of his ability and no harsh words were file frosting the botel. To the north of n the First and Second batteries, handsomely mounted, held the avenue as far as Twenty-cighth street. Throughout the line the crowd was so dense that its power to exercise pressure had passed. Where it stood it remained an inert mass from sheer in : Hie fi . li [BARE 7 5 ˖ 2 1 * 7 7 2 N 2 > 7 5 other o 94 A 8 * 2 ot D * te 1 Ac re ag ts 7 2 — The committees of the State Legislature in thirty carriages.

The hum of expectation that had preceded § it was settled as it pessed by, and all heads were uncovered. Many heads were bowed, and an old negro woman, who somehow had been pushed forward to the curb aad stood there wedged in, essayed vainly to kneel with tears streaming down her wrinkled face.

New Yor, August 8.—The head of the column reached the tomb a few minutes before 1:30, and soon after its arrival the ceremonies began. The religious services were preceded by the ritual service of the G. A. R., which was conducted by a detail of fifteen comrades from the Geo. G. Meade Post No. 1, Phil- adelphia. This service occupied about ten minutes, and was followed by the service . of the Methodist Episcopal Church, Rev. Dr. Newman and Bishop Harris officiated. The service consisted of the usual prayers for the dead and at their conclusion the members of the fam- ily withdrew. The casket was then inclosed in its cedar shell, and all the details of sealj ing the box and riveting the steel case within the vault were quickly completed. Then the undertakers and others withdrew, and details of the First Division, N. G. A N. L., and ok the United States battery fired three volleys and salvos ever the grave. THOUSANDS OF SIGHT-SEERS. The Animated Scenes on Broadway and Scramble to View the Procession. New Tonk, Avast d —All night long carpenters with saw and hammer were busy in Broad- way, and when, this morning, the sun climbed up out of the sea and shed its brilliant light on the dark corners and all eyes of the city, it revealed the presence of hundreds of hastily erected reviewing stands, from which the procession could be seen, at prices ranging all the way from $1 to $10 a head. The decorators, too, had not been idle. Onthefront of many a great warehouse were displayed emblems of mourning which were not there the night before. The review- ing stands were located in all sorts of places. Nearly every empty stand along the route had been gobbled up by the spectators. Some of these were rented outright, while others contained num- bers of seats, to be had atthe small sum of $5 each. The speculating fever even got hold of the newsboys, some of whom stuck notices in their chairs to the effect that seats from which to view the parade could be procured. When at length the hands of the great clocks of Trinity Church approached the hour of 9, Broad way presented AN ANIMATED SPECTACLE. As far as the eye could reach the sidewalks were thronged with people. Every train and every steamer poured its load ino the great artery of travel. Bronzed faces from the country, white faces from the city counting-rooms and offices. and dirty faces from the tenement districts were in the crowd. Rich and poor, rogue and rascal, dignita- ries and nonentities jostled each other on the curb- stones and sidewaiks. Everybody seemed to be good natured, and took the : JOSTLING AND JAMMING ™, as a matter of course. The police tried to keep the people off the street, but it was hard work. There were more who wanted to pass along the walks than there was width of passage to contain them. — — Bulletins. New Yorx, August 8, 12:80 p.

New Yorx, August 8 —Owing to the ab- sence from the city of the maj- ity of Fifth avenue residents, the lack of mourning emblems on tnat thoroughfare has been noticeable until to-day, as compared with other leading streets. This morning, however, many of the finest residences were appropriately drapei by order of their owners, among them being that of Jay Gould at Fifth avenue and Foriy-seventh street, and that of the family of the late ex-Gov. E. D. Morgan. ee MEMORIAL SERVICES ELSEWHERE. Tributes of Respect to the Memory of Grant in Various Cities, By Telebraph to the Pest-Dispaten.

On the lake front guns were fred at intervals during the parade. Business was entirely suspended, and ao general seemed the respect for the dead General. that very few people, even among the laboring classes, took advantage of the holiday to visit the parks or to enjoy any kind of excursion. A heavy shower, lasting half an hour, during the pa rade, was the only circumstance that cocurred to mar the success t the obsequies, and that had a very sma)) effect on the order of the marchers, Ro- ports are being received isdicating that throughout the West and Northwest in the principal towns and cities programmes similar to the one here were carried out.

Lonpow, August 8.—The scandal that connected all lips with the name ot an eminent Liberal statesman was supposed, for several days, to have blown over. His friends denied the story positive- ly. A journalist who is supposed to be most intimate in the confidence of the Liberal leaders. said in his London correspondence,y esterday: “I am able to state that there is no word of truth in the monstrous story from beginning to end.” But I have just been able to examine the official registry of petifions for divorce in Somerset House and have FOUND THE FOLLOWING: “Crawford Donald vs. Crawford Virginla Mary, and Dilke, Sir Charles Wentworth. petition filled August 5." Hence, whether the popular stories are exagger- ated or not. it is certain that the whole affair rests on a solid basis of truth and will come into a public court. It is unlikely that the case will be tried be- fore Christmas. GLADSTONE'S TRIP TO NORWAY. Mr. Brassey's yacht, Sunbeam, leaves Gravesend this evening at 7 for Norway with Mr. Gladstone and afew friends and his physician, Sir Andrew Clark. As I have said before, Gladstone's health has not improved so rapidly as expected, especialiy his voice. This trip is an effort to restore him to a condition able to lead the Liberal party. Dr. Clark wiil devote himself to the restora- tion of Gladstone's’ voice in every possible way. Upon the result of his efforts everything of immediate political future depends. If he should fail, it means a complete break up of parties, Indeed, anything in English politics is possible. It is announced that pe detters will be fo- warded to Giadstone while he is away. a THE CHOLERA SCARE. In view of the approach of cholera, forty beds now are kept in constant readiness for cholera cases in Saint Bartholomew's Hospital. A whole wing, capable of holding 400 cases, can be ready on a few days’ notice. THE PENJDEH ARBITRATION, The Penjdeh arbitration, it is now understood, has been allowed to lapse by consent of both parties, so it was a farce indeed. Nothing has been heard of it for over six weeks, THE HYDE PARK DEMONSTRATION, Much surprise is expressed that Mr. Stead is lending aid to organize a great popular demonstra- tion in Hyde Park on the subject of public. immor- ality. Now ic is certain that the bill, ag strength- ened, will become a law, This was gaid at a private preliminary conference recently, whereupon Stead rose and said: “This meeting is summoned TO SAY Dax.“ As this gave offense to some clergymen presen, the repeated it, and added: “Anybody who won't say damn after what was recently discovered deserves to be damned.” THE PURITY PARTY. The Archbishop of Canterbury has issued a m ani- festo for a meeting of the Church of England Purity Society. The trish members are making strenuous efforts to draw attention to the Jeffries case in the Commons claiming to have got proof of implication against high Government officials, but so far have been un- successful, the Speaker ordering Callan to h is seat for persistent irrelevancy. Nobody doubts there has been a miscarriage of justice, but itis to be hoped that something will happen soon to clear the atmosphere, which is thick with scandal of all sorts. HARTINGTON'S CONTEMPT. Lord Hartington. having been asked by the Tories to take a prominent part.in the committee on the depression of trade and name the Liberals to be invited to join, has replied almost contemptu- ously that he would have nothing to do with it. JOHN RUSKIN. Ruskin's health, which bas not been goed for some time, is now causing great anxiety, Thomas Hughes is engaged writing a biography of Peter Cooper. Vambery’s new work on “The Coming | Struzgle for India“ will be pablished next Wednes- dar. The Trubners are about to issuea book by Prince Ibrahim Hiimy on the literature of Egypt and the Soudan. GORTHSE'S DIARY. A diary kept by Goethe from 1776 to 1888, witha gap between 1782 and 1796, bas been discovered at Weimar among possessions of Walter Von Goethe, with an enormous numberof other manuscripts and letters. THE LINGUIST. A fortnightly journal called the Linguist is to be published in five languages, English, French, Spanish, Italian and German, OHUCHILL’S TRIUMPH. Churchill seems to have triumphed again over bis enemies. Peace has been made be tween him and the Liverpool Conservatives, and the Tory members will soon support him ou the platform. But is Horta n that there is a serious rupture in the Tory party. This temporary reconciliation is due to the strenuous efforts of the leaders to prevent an open rupture now, and thus spoil the chances of election, Churciill’s attack on the Marquis of Ripon in re- gard to the Indian budget has a piece of desperate bravado in ic. Even his colleague, Hicks-Beach, who sat next to hm, was much depressed and evidently discusted. Ripon will probably follow Spencer's example and take no notice of it. POLITICAL PARTY CHANGES. The opinion of those best informed in political circles is that a considerable change in the constitution of the political parties is imminent. The actual occasion will probably be the impossibility of legislation § in the alternating Irish vote. The traditional Whig and Tory sections are practically defunct. These are half expected to coalesce, Them the Tory Democrats will be face to face with the Radica's, outbidding each other for popular support, the latter from principle and tue former for power. The Irish party will be destroyed from within its own renks. Davitt will gome to the front to de for the laborers what Parnell has done for the farmers. Parnell will suffer as soon as the country here begins to recogiiaze that, no matter what the Radicals do for them, they will retort only with selfish opposition, and that they represent the influence of the priests. Already the English employers of labor are beginning to refuse to give work to the Parnellite Irish, PARNELL'S POLICY is simple and intelligible from the Irish point of view, but there are many aed increasing signs that Englishmen have had enough of it, Everything points te the probahility of A WAB OF CABLE BATES, It would have begug gt a * 1 * 1 2 1 5 * : . re 7 J — | an Alliance between Conservatives and the Parnellites.

Panis, August 8.—Tbe Matin says that persons entering the service of the Congo State are obliged to sign an agreement to maintain strict silence re- garding the state of affairs ia that country.

Oliver J. Richey filed this afternoon in the Cir cult Courta suit for divorce from Caroline T Richey. He states in his petition that they were married February 14, 1866, at Brownsville, Pa., and they lived together until 1878. Mr. Richey, alleges that he at all times treated his wife with kindness and affection, and provided in every way for the com- fort and support of the family. Seven years since he found it would be to his advantage to move from Pennsylvania to Missousi. His wife, however, refused to accompany him, and, notwithstandi that he fitted up a nice home here, and forw sums of money to Peaonsylvania, in order that his wife might join him; she positively refused to come to St. Louis and still remains absent. Mr. Richey furthermore pares that his wife encour- aged the attentions of various parties, and that she has n guilty of improper intimacy with them on divers occasions. There were five oniidren born of the marriage, Missouri Richey, 15 years old; Clark Richey, 12 ears; Ella, 10 years, and Oliver 8. Richey 8 years. r. Richey states, however, that he is in doubt as to whether he is the father of all the children on account of his — absence from Pennsylvania and the improper conduct of his wife. ANOTHER GOOD MAN GONE. The Local Signal Office Used as a School for Observers. The local signal office has received information that Mr. Wm. Korts, who was referred to in yester- days Post-Dispatcn as having been assigned to this station, will relieve Mr. Lewis A. Cali, who-will be put in charge of the signal station at Lamar, Mo.

The Romantic Story of the Pretty Sis- ter of Arsene Heussaye. Paris Special Correspondence of the Philadelphia Times. Just off the Round Point of the Champs Ely- sees, ten or twelve steps beyond the Summer Circus, there at the corner of Rue Ponthieu and the Avenue de Matignon, directly in front of the celebrated ‘‘Marchande de Gaufres,” or shop where waffles are cooked, sugared and served up by a neat little woman of twenty-five, whom the gallants of this swell part of Paris have long tried in vain to spoil; there, in the house without balconies, I have seen lights shining behind window curtains which nobody has lived these fifteen years. “C'est la dame mort qui revient chez elle,” say the good women of the quartier. t, in * a dead 28 ag —— again, even though everything e apar mont is kept y for her immediate use The furniture is dusted weekly, the ts are swept, the portrait frames are kept clean and the clocks wound up just the same as if she were still living there.

SATURDAY, AUGUST 8, 1885. Oo columns tell the story of to-day's event, —the funeral of GRANT. Tux Wonl 's Bartholdi Pedestal Fund has reached within $500 of the $100,000. The list will probably close next week. B Tur President has left Washington and no Missouri appointments have been acted on. The supremacy of the Cockrell and Ewing families must be maintained. GOVERNOR IRELAND of Texas calls for the enforcement of the law against consolidation of railroads. What Missouri calls for is an en- forcement of the Constitution. THERE is no resisting the evidence of Mr. GLOVER’s statement that the two. Missouri Senators have prevented Democrats from re- ceiving Federal offices in Missouri, is Tue St. Louis merchants are united in de- manding proper recognition in the matter of freight charges. There is trade near home which is better worth working for than the re- mote trade of Mexico. Mr. Mort, the offensive partisan of the water department, will probably remain in office until November, and local politics will be spared the disgrace of any further im- mediate attempts to steal the livery of civil service reform to do the work of spoilsmen in. — Y— — THE opinion of the Hon. James Burnes that no man ought to hold a Senatorship for more than twelve years will be greatly strengthened by the circumstance that a Senator who is striving for a third term has found it necessary to keep Republicans in office in order to help his re-election. | — Ir is now said that Prof. HLA, the hilarious head of the Coast and Geodetic Sur- vey, is a Democratic mossback, a survival from the prehistoric days. All the more honor to Democratic Administration, which exposed and removed him after successive Republican officials had allowed him to squander public money year after year. ——— Tue Democratic party, which has fought against the one-man power in national affairs. and won, now finds itself confronted in Mis souri by the one-man power in the shape of a Senator whose sole political idea is that he ought to be re-elected. Looking at the condi- tion of politics in Missouri, we believe that it will be harder to overthrow the one-man power in the State than it was to win the national victory. We do not undertake to guarantee the authenticity of the correspondence between the President and the conscience-stricken states- man who had indorsed an offensive applicant for office, But the letter is one which the President has undoubtedly had occasion to write at many junctures. No virtue is so common as that charity which is practiced at the expense of the Goverment, no weakness more common than the weakness of indorsing for appointment men whom the indorser would never appoint at his own risk. — FRom time to time we shall take occasion to quote from the last Official Report of the State Auditor. In that voluminous document are instances of railroads which are wealthy and prosperous, railroads which in spite of hard times, cut-rates and persecution pay 6 per cent interest and dividends on ten times their total assessment, and yet which are delinquent on their taxes for 1883 and 1884, at least 50 per cent. With a few honorable exceptions, the railroads generally are delinquent, and, baving the least to pay in the way of taxes are the slowest about paying it. —_—_—_————— ee AUDITOR WALKER has given it out, unoffi- cially, that Attorney-General Boons has gone home sick, and that, as it is now August, and next month will be September and then winter will soon come, it is very probable that nothing will be done in the matter of locating the branch Penitentiary this season. If this is given out as a “‘feeler,” we do not hesitate to say that there is no mention of “seasons” in the act creating the Penitentiary Commission, and no reason for postponing action unless the Commissioners wish to locate the Penitentiary where it will do most good to their political as- rann . i ANOTHER annual installment of vital statis- tics is producing another wail over the dec- adence of native American parentage. It is found that in the East, among the native pop- ulation, there is only one child to every two adults, but among the Irish and Germans, nearly or quite two children for every coupie of the e the foreign bora are credited with nearly one-half the births in 1884. The explanation of it simply is that the native American of the East, male or female, prefers style to offspring, and does not fancy any scheme of life which implies’ dwelling with humble livers and bringing up «family to labor. But the poor white natives of the South and West are about as prolificas any people in the world. : i THE RAILROAD TAX MUDDLE. The statement recently put forth by Secre- tary MoGrarH andthe unanimous report of the Gunn Committee to the last Legislature in regard tothe record of railroad assessments by the State Board of Equalization, do not differ materially asto anything except the meaning and effect of the Board’s action in 1882 and after. | Both agree that there was no valid assess- ment or collection of railroad taxes in and for 1871, the law being purposely or accidentally such a muddle of dates that the courte knocked its operation clear out. Both agree that the railroad property owned in 1872 was assessed that year for the taxes col- lectable that year. Both agree that, owing to more muddled al- terations in the law, there was no assessment made in 1873, and that the assessments made in 1874 and annually thereafter were made on the railroad property owned in the preceding year in each case, until 1882; that of 1874 being on the property owned in 1873 and that of 1881 being on the property owned in 1880. It is obvious that this postponement of the assessment to the following year was a post- ponement of the railroad tax collections for one year. Secretary MoGRATR admits that from 1876, when he first became a member of the Board, through all the years of PLS administra- tration, and until the second year of CRITTEN- DEN’s administration, it was the invariable custom of the Board to set forth in the assess- ment that it was on property owned at a cer- tain date in the preceding year, and for the tax levy of the preceding year. The assessment made in 1881 accordingly set forth that it was on the property of 1880 and for the tax levy of 1880. Secretary McGratH admits that the next assessment, made the next year, in 1882, was distinctly set forth as on the property held in 1881, but for the tax levy of 1882, thus omitting any assessment for the tax levy of 1881, and that the subsequent assessments have been set forth as on the property of the preceding year, with no specification as to the date of the tax levy. It is in regard to the purport and effect of this uncalled-for and remarkabie action by the Board that a controversy exists. The unanimous report of the Gunn Commit- tee, received by the last Legislature with only one negative vote, asserts that the assessments from 1882 on were Ly the action of the Boaru in 1882 made assessments for the taxes of the cur- rent year in each case, and that this shoving of railroad tax dates one year ahead of time, amounted practically to an omission of the railroad tax levy for 1881. In sup- port of this ‘view the Gunn Com- mittee produced certificates from a long list of the clerks of counties through which railroads run that no assessment of railroad property for the tax levy of 1881 had been for- warded tothem. The committee also quoted Auditor WaLKkEeR, a member of the State ‘Board, as admitting that no assessment for the tax levy of 1881 had been made by the Board or certified to the County Clerks. Secretary MoGrartu, however, contends that the strange action of the Board in 1882 and sub- sequently was without any legal effect on the tax levy or the tax liabilities of the railroads; that, in spite of the fact that the assessment made in 1882 was on its face an assesament for the tax levy of that year, it was as much an assessment for the tax levy of 1881 as the assessment of 1881 was for the tax levy of 1880. Here is his exposition and explanation of that rather queer chapter in the history of the Board: The law does not require this Board to say or, state the year or years the assessment is made for, or when the taxes a. e to be levied or collected. The law simpiy requires it to meet at stated times and assess the railroads on the property owned and controlled by them at certain other stated times. The Board of 1872 impliedly assessed for the year 1872; the Board which met in i874 simply said in its record that the assessment was on the property owned by the railroads in August, 1878, without sta ting for which year the tax was to be levied and collected thereon; the Board of 1875 did likewise simply assessed the property owned in August. 1874. The Boards which met in the years 1876, 1877, 1878, 1879, 1880 and 1881, while the records thereof set out plainly the assessed property correctly and the year, assumed in the table headings to set out the years for which the tax should be levied and coliected. The Board of 1882, in the tabies, says the assessment is on the values ef 1881, and for the taxes of 1882; the Board of 1888, in the tables, says the assessment ison the values of 1882, and, like the boards of 1874 and 1875, makes no reference to the year for which the ta is to be levied and collected; the same is the course of the Board of 1884. In the record ef the proceedings of all the Boards, outside of the table headings, which are liable to mislead, and have done so, no reference is made to the tax. This, like any other fact, is reg- ulated between the State Auditor and the County Courts and County Cierks. This Board has no con- trol over it or directions to give in the matter under the law. It may assume to suggest, but suggest- ions in such cases without authority of law are, of course, only assumptive and useless, and bind no person or officer. This does not tell us that any wrong or hard- ship had resulted from the specification of tax- dates by the Board from 1875 to 1880, inclusive, or that there was any law against it, It does not tell us why or for what purpose the Board broke the continuity of its record with a dis- tinotly false statement of the tax-date in 1882, and thereafter left that false entry uncorrected and uncontradicted. It seems that the Legisla- ture had not injected as many date muddles in- to railroad taxation as the State Board wanted there, and it undertook a little nnn. on its own account. . The result of it ‘a is that there have bein thirteen assessments in the fourteen years, 1871 A dag aster pa eer ‘ payers in paying the taxes of those fo eel years, and not in advance of other rs 1 as Modnarg dogmatically asserts they are}. of the State Board’s records from 1882 on, then |’ the railroads have been assessed for but twelve years out ef fourteen, and have paid but twelve years’ taxes, while other tax-payers have paid fourteen. A judicial decision on these points is awaited with a good deal of interest — ů ů ů — Tun Hon. Bariess W. Hanna, whom tho in- scrutable wisdom of Secretary BATAnbD has se- lected to represent this country as Minister to the Argentine Confederation, announces that he has given great attention to the question of trade relations with that country, and “hopes to get up some kind of a reciprocity treaty or other,” as the result of his mission, One of the things in American politics which no fellow can find out, is the reason why our statesmen insist on eutting us off from trade with the nations we want to trade with, and insist, with equal urgency, on reciprocity with all the bob- tailed commercial countries that have no trade to speak of. We hear a great deal about recip- rocity with Mexico, but nothing about Canada. We want to trade with Cuba but not with En- gland; with the Argentine Confederation, but not with the French republic. We will not trade with any nation whose commerce is great, but we will trade with any country whose commerce is insignificant. Qe EUROPEAN NOTES. The mest interesting event of the past week in England, for Americans at least, has been the Grant memorial services in Westminister Abbey. Taking all tne circumstances into consideration, no more impressive tribute could be paid any- where to our dead soldier and President. The British Pantheon is rarely, very rarely, allowed to be used for the post-mortem honors of a foreigner and the permission freely and cordially given on this occasion is not only a recognition of the merits of tie illustrious deceased, but even a stronger recognition of the kindred ties which bind together two widely separated nationalities, As might be expected in such a place, at such a time, aod under such management, everything done and said was in perfect taste; nothing jarred upon the eye or ear; all was simple, solemn, dign{fied—highly English perhaps, but English in a way which all persons of good taste must approve. The address of Canon Farrar was worthy of the subject, and of the Christian geotleman and scholar, whose repu tation as preacher and writer is so firmly establish- ed on both sides of the ocean. “Comparisons are odious," of course; but between Farrar’s address and Newman's sermon there is a very great differ- ence—and notin favor of the home production. One is goid, the other brass. Next to being laid in Westminster Abbey is the honor of having one's eulogy pronounced there; and the friends and ad- mirers of General Grant may well congratulate themselves upon a distinction which he himself could not have ventured to anticipate, and they could hardly have supposed would be bestowed. When the anti English epidemic breaks out among us again, lot all the afflicted temper their malady by remembering England's tribute to America’s hero, Will we do as much, or half as much, when Gladstone dies? The banquet to Cyrus W. Field last Wednesday evening was a graceful and well-deserved compli- ment to a living American, whose telegraphic en- terprise and achievements weuld have brought him atitle badhe been an Englishman, “Peace hath her victories no less renowned than war,” and it is desirable to have the Miltonian statement empha- sized nowand thenin the happy fashion set at Richmond. The Field family bave furnished a good deal of valuable brains to the world, in-one shape or another, and Cyrus, t a con- scious of his share of the contribution, is a suff ciently useful citizen to make us wish there were more iike him. The Tories have white elephant in Randolph Churcuill, and don't know exactly what to do with him. My Lord, however, seems to know what to do with himself, and just now is engaged in the congenial task of letting his party understand that he intends to lead, not follow; and that if they do not like his leadership, they can—help themselves. Churchill is plainly trying to imitate Beaconsfield, but the Beaconsfield breeches are “a world too wide for his shrunk shanks.” The Government has been asked in Parliament to explain its Egy ptian policy,“ but the explana- tion giyen was in the most general terms, and left the matter in much the same blissful uncertainty as before. Sir Henry Drummond Wolff has been sent to Egypt to straighten out the interminable tangle, but the selection is regarded as a very poor one, and it is not at all likely that Wolff's work will be wortn his salary. Sir Onarles Dilke has again. showed his face in the House, but has lost all his ‘‘chipperness,” and is apparently very much ashamed of his sin— or of being caught in it. The scandal of when he is the masculine center is belag “hushed up;“ but the bushing up comes rather too late to be of ser- vice to the parties involved. Mr. Gladstone is billed for a yachting trip in the North Sea. where he hopes to regain his strength sufficiently to make it lively for the Tories in the coming campaign. The death of EI Mahdi has finally extinguished the Soudan business, so far as England is concerned; and as the Afghan imbroglio has had no new and impor- tant developments of late, foreign affairs are toler- ably quiet for thé present, Those of Ireland are particularly so, though the stockholders and de- positers of the Munster Bank are not in a very amiable mood yet. The rascally manager, Farqu- barson, bas, it is said, gone to Spain—and some of his victims would not bé sorry if the cholera caught him there, If he should miss that fate, and the Government shoud decide to bring him back, it is satisfactory to know—on the author- ity of the Admiralty’s spokesman in Parliament that the English Navy, though defective in certain respects, is moro than a match for any two other navies ia the world.“! got + first-class if true, for the members of the Universal Peace Seciety ana the prophets of the millennium. Bussia—there is never anything new in that newspaperiess land; but a Moscow sheet a firms, with some gritting of teeth, that ‘Russie is re- solved now to settle the Central Asia difficulty finally.” How, is not hinted. Alexander has not yet decided to meet the other two Emperors, but may conclude to do so if the Nihi- lists remain quiet. Russian crop reports are almost as discouraging as Russian pelitica, and there is reason tofear great destitution among the small farmers and the laboring classes this winter. Archbishop Walsh has left Rome on his return to Dublin, but will take a short vacation before re- suming active duties. The Pope ig ill with neural- gia,and has discontinued his usual audiences on that account. The Italian Government, which would not have Mr. Keiley as United States Minister, “points with pride“ to the Austrian Government, which, it is reported, has signified its unwillingness to take that gentieman in diplomatic capacity at any price. Keiley should come home, or go into a monastery abroad. From Spain all accounts are as gloomy as) possible, because all tell of nothing but the spread of cholera in every direction. Inoculation, as far as tried, is a confessed faliure, and the theory of Dr. Koch has no effect in shortening the terrible mor- tality lista. Something might be done, perhaps, if the people were intelligent eneugh to adopt the commonest sanitary measures, But their hopeless and superstition stands in the way; they will do nothiag themselves, nor allow anything to be done for them—and are paying the penalty. OUR SENATOR BOSSES. How They are Keeping Democrats Out of Omes. Washington Special to the Giope-Democrat. Speaking this evening of his ill success and the causes for it, Mr. Glover said: “In every other State in the Union the Seuators are moving for a complete and much-needed organ- ization of the whole service. In Missouri, the influence of both the Senators is obstructing the path of the party. According to Mr. O'Neill, they began their obstruction by voting agalust action as early as April last. Since that time neither has turned a hand to assist in the removal of a single Republican and the nomination of his successor. Every Democrat in Missouri seeking one of the important positions under the Federal Government, who has written to Senator Cockrell, has received a non-committal letter, in which the only clear information extended is that no changes are to be expected for a longtime. In regard to the Survey- orahip of the Port of St. Louis, though Mr. O'Neil has indorsed in writing Mr. John J. O’Falion of Jefferson County, and Mr, Clardy and myself have filed letters for candidates, and though Mr. Vest is known to be for Lancaster, still Mr. Vest and Mr. Cockrell have studiously refrained from iendiag their aid to removals, even by expressing to the President or Cabinet their choice for successors to any of these offices, The party is receiving no aid from them in that particular; in fact, I think I can show that they affirmatively obstruct removals. When the papers were saying that Mr. Miller, Commissioner of Internal Revenue, was about to appoint the St. Louis Collector, Mr. Vest went to him and actually requested him not to do so. When Mr. Garland had read the famous instruc tions of Marshal Cousins, he said that if one Senator would name the man of his choice he would appoint, not necessarily that man, but a successor, t hen and there. “Telegrams were sent immediately to Mr. Vest at Sweet Springs, some half dosen in number, stat- ing the situation, and asking him to telegraph his choice. All the telegrams were received aud none were answered. Finally came a letter, which Mr. Clardy showed to the Attorney-General, What- ever was in it, it effectually defeated any appoint ment at all. Mr. O'Neill bas indorsed Mr. Green for Collector of Internal Revenue, and Mesers. Bland, Dawson and Clardy and myself have also filed written indorsements. These make all the parties officially interested, except the Senators, who have done and will do nothing. As Mr. Vest has obviously no interest whatever in delay, I infer from that circumstance, as well as from his high personal character, that he speaks the truth when he says, as he bas often said in private, in the press aud in letters, fiat he does not favot imme- diate changes, because he has promised his col- leagues not to do so. This policy was begun when, at Senator OCockroll's instance, the plan was laid in April and carried through dy their votes, to tie up the party’s hand from March until December, and the climax was reached here the other day. The President had told me that he would take up three of the largest offices in the Eastern Dissrict, in- cluding the Surveyor at St. Louis, and make the appointments, if the Cabinet officers interested were ready, They were ready. Iconveyed to them, at the President's direction, his request that the papers be sent to him. I told the correspond- ent of the Globe-Democrat of this at the time, and while we were hourly expecting the appointments Senator Cockrell arrived in Washington. I said to the correspondent; ‘The Senator will beat those appointments by asking delay.“ Senator Cockrell had a private audience with the President, and when it was over I went to the Secretary of the Treasury and learned, as I expected, that the M. uri appointments had been postponed in- definitely. Constitution vs. Corporation. Austin (Texas) Special Dispatch to the Globe-Demoerat. The following letter from Governor Ireland to the Attorney-General is calculated to make Rome how, especially as the Attorney-General will immediately act in the matter: “austin, Texas, August 4~To. Hon. J. D. Tem- pleton, Attorney-General: I call your attention to the late act of the Legislature demanding action against railway companies, to prevent and break up the consolidation of competing limes. I aleo call your attention to the late conference between the owners of Union lines of Texas. It is now under- stood that the main officers of some of the princi- pal roads are to be, or are being, removed out of the Stace. There canbeno doubt but that each main road in Texas is a competing line with other roadsin the State, and that consolidation cannot take place without violating the provisions of the Constitution. I hope that you will not delay action on these matters, and the railway companies may be required to conform their action to the Constity- tion and laws. (Signed) Joun Inn, Governor.

Co.'s more time and money to get Mike and others on the railroad side ot the steal than to have paid the taxes in the first place.

Dummodo sit dives, barbarus ipso placet. A Subtle Distinction. From the Philadelphia Press (Rep), The Democrats are even less docile than the Republicans. They take out their kicking as they goalong.

Berry WALL, who is called “King of the Dudes” in New York, manages to spend an income of $50, - 000 a year in keeping up that reputation. Ipnanimu Hun, son of Ismail Pasha, is about to publish 4 work on the literature of the Soudan, embracing ancient, medieval and modern times. Raps Putsiver of Waterville, Me, recently rode from Bar Harbor to Waterville on a bicycle, a dis- tance of 100 miles, in two days. Watrer Rye wil! soon publish a brochure entitled, “The Murder of Amy Robsart,” which is to throw additional light upon Queen Elizabeth's connection with that tragedy. . Ir would be pleasant if some church or congrega- tion could be made to desire the services of Parson Newman enough to keep him privately and away from the public fer a long time. Mn. James G.

He is not going to trust to wees erecting the statue after bis death. “Samve. Bow es, editor of the Springfield Repub- lican, and third of the line of the same name, says the Concord Patriot, was presented by his wife With a son on Saturday, who will also be named Samuel, and is expected to succeed to the editor- ship of the Republican if he lives. It is to be pro- sumed that he will be reared in strict conformity with the tenets of the mugwump faith.” Governor Rospinson of Massachusetts is singular among Governors in deciaring that he cannot so interpret the statules as to permit his proclamation of Saturday as a legal holiday, and he is still more decided that te permit militia te leave Massachus- etts to attend the Grant funeral in New York would be a breach of the laws aad would establish a dangerous precedent. t At Richfield Springs one day, Gen. Buckner heard some military sceptics criticising Gen. Grant's mili- tary ability. “Why, Hooker was as brave as Grant,“ said one man excitedly. “But Grant was a very near man,“ said Buckner. And MoClelian was a greater strategist,” said another scoffer. “But Grant was famous for his nearness,” said Buckner, He may not have been brave, but he was always near What do you mean by near- ness?’ asked another scoffer petulan'ly. “Why, when 1 looked around at Fort Donelson for some one to surrender to, Grant was right there handy; and I notice when Gen. Lee surrendered at Appomattox, Grant was the nearest General to take his sword. Oh, he was near, Grant was,” WOMEN OF THE WORLD.

An English lady who has been visiting Canada | ©xpresees in the Pall Mall Gazette the opinion that ‘a judivious and gradual influx of highly cultivated English women into Canada and the United States would be as great a boon to these countries as it would bea relief to Great Britain.” Her reason for this opinion is thus stated; “Although the la- dies in the older cities ot the North American con- tinent are, with scarcely any exceptions, superior to Engiish gentlewomen in brain power, io clear- ness of mental vision, in common sense, in practi- cal, sound judgment, and in general intelligence, yet we miss in them that indefinable charm whieh always clings to a highly cultivated European.” THE METROPOLITAN PRESS. What the Editors of the New York Journals are Saying To-Day. By Telegravh to the Post-Dispatch. New Yor, August &--Thae Womo says: “The republic te-day will bury what is mortal of General Grant. The representatives of the great Union will assetuble in the metropolis, its heroes, its chiefs, its dignitaries, ite veterans and its citizens, with all the pomp and pageantry of national honor, and all the solemnity of national grief will follow his body to its last resting place. Long before this copy of the Wortp reaches its distant readers all that respect and grief can do will have been done and the wan body will have been laid away forever as rest. In the shallow eye of circumstance this is death. But today Gen. Grant begins to live the life of an immortal. His character, his hervism, his unexampled record of simplicity and — are not buried with him. The thousands who came to attend his funeral will go back through all the land to attest his living example and perpetuate his extending fame. e turu from bis cold face and voiceless tomb to his articulate career eloquent history with pride.

Every member of the present Congress by in- dorsing his party plattorm pledged himself to these planks. Every State Legislature was also ged to the same. — all pewiy elected

Business houses closed their doors after 12 o'clock, and these along the line of march of the pageant were soon taken possession of by ladies and gentle - men who crowded the windows, sat upon extem- porized platforms outside the front doors, and sometimes went so far as to gather on the roof in the heating sun to get a view of the procession. All the city buildings closedand sent forth their employes to honor the occasion. Ati o'clock all but the small retail shons had suspended business. Additional symbols of mourning were laced on many building fronts, draped fla s were layed; pictures of Grant, wreatned in oak leaves and framed in black, were hung from win- to manifest their deep interest in the mourning which the general public had taken on.

It was estimated that befure the procession started there were fully 250,000 persons on the streets and in the building fronts along the line of march. No such turn-out of the popuiace has ever been seen in St. Louis, and a brighter or better day for the grand manifestation of grief could not have been desired. It was sunshine ail day long and a cool breeze blew from the East, tempering the atmosphere and rendering even the bright side of the street pleasant. Not many complained of heat. Everybody seemed willing to put up with any inconvenience circumstances forced upon him, and 2 tration rolled from Many a brow, and the lid manner in which people were packed to- gether on the sidewalk compelied a deal of moisture, alt held their ground and not one lost of the enthusiasm with which they day.

The catafalque was built under direction of Wm. Pauat, the scenic artist, who designed it. It rested on 4 platform twenty-six feet long and ten feet wide and the structure rose to a height of twelve feet. The lower portion of the car was draped in biack cassimere of the richest quality and festoons ot crape were held in place by roseties of the same material The pedestal was covered uniformly wita cassimere and the sarcophagus had heavy silver mountings and was partially concea led by a deeply-fringed pall. On either side of the pedestai wasa portrait of Gea. Grant wreathed with oak leaves. On the front of the car a female fi bowed in grief, was surrounded by embiems of trade and commerce, such as the wheel, the plo x, and a bale of goods This was At the foot of a flag-entwined broken column, at the rear of the column, stood a female figure in sym- bols of mourning, witu souvenirs os the battle-feld lyiag at her feet: This was War. oatafalq ue was not canopied.

The saddie and bianket were covered with crepe. An oid servant led the animal, which wes a sleek bright bay. Grant's Residences in St. Louis. In the fall of 1854, tiring of lifeon the old Dent farm on the Gravois roid, Grant moved his family to the city ſuto a house on Seventh and Lynoh streets. The structure was an ordinary two-story brick house with two rooms upon each floor anda kitchen in the rear. Here they lived in very nice style, and Grant meanwhile sougut employment which would enable him to support the family. He knew very few people, and, falling in his search, necessity compeled him to give up his weli-fitted quarters and move to a more unpretentious house. His next -residence is still atanding and bears the number 1008 Barton street. It has been con v altered for the bettersince Grant's days. but it | still wears a very uninviting appearance. It was a frame cottage with a higa roof. Counting the garret chamber as a room, it might be called two stories hign with a room upon each floor. The upper story was reached by a stairway located iu a corner of the iower apartment. The ceilings were too low to permit of a tall man standing erect in the rooms. A suort fligut of wooden steps led up to the front door, which was ornamented with a big iron knocker. In this house Nellie Grant was afterwards bora. The old-fashioned weil- curb, at which the General drew thé family suppiy of water, is still standing in the back-yard, Ga. der the house was a small cellar, about the size of a large dry-goods box. THE DENT MANSION. A Heandsomely Decorated House dur rounded by Crowds All Day. All day yesterday there was an immense crowd gathered on Fourth street, in front of the mansion, at the corner of Cerre street. Famous’ decorators were busy putting the finishing touches r.

ON THE siRKET. Decoration of Puabiic and Private Baild- ings Along the Line of March. mo desire of the citizans and business meh on Fourth street to do honor to General Grant was mwnifested in a very lavish decoration. The Court Héause was sandsomely decorated, though it seemed at one time as if the officials were tdally indifferent as to j#owhether the t House was decorated or not. Fifth street entrance was decorated some time in a walt hearted fashion, but this morning Tera went to work in earnest on the east nt.

From the St. Nicholas 88 i —— — 4 warriors of nature, m com armored of the whole odd 2 a of armadillos is a beauti- fully ornamented little fallow er of rolling itself up into the shape of à ball. Its various shields are so arranged that when the bolita rolls itself up it makes a perfect bali or hard shell. 1 2 ed ae tells of as some e children a y tossing a bali, about the size of afoot-ball. When thay. were tired of the game —— 45 the ball on the ground, and to his it turned into an auimal and ran hastily away. It was one of these little armadillos. Tne same traveler says that he has seen these animated balls used by a littie child in piayin with a kitten. The game may have annoy od bolita, but it couid not have caused it any because of the perfect protection aiford- its armor. It has need of all the protection it can have, for it lives in a land where the wischievous monkey is plentiful. Anybody who has seen monkeys teasing each other will be able to gain some idea of the torment che slow-witted arma dillo must undergo as itis passed about from one to another of a party of monkeys. Whea Toi pentes is set upon by the froficsume mon- keys, bowever, it suddeniy curis up and is safe within itself. The baifled tormentors turn it over and over, looking in great astonishment for the tail they know must be there. if Tuiy- pentes had any sense of humor ho would cera tainly laugh heartily within tis sheli at tue cha , grinning crowd. As the bolita, like the ot!ier armadillos, bur- ws in the earth, it has fore feet suitable for work. Its toes are armed with long and hard claws, which enable it to dig wiih won- derful quickness, Instead of walking upon the fiat part of its front feet, the bolita walks upon the tips of its toes, and in doing so it looks comiicaily dainty and mincing. At the same ume it can move with considerable swiftness. The armadillos live only in South America, and are small in size compared to the gigantic armadillo that lived ages ago. The largest now living isnot more than three feet long, while that of former ages was as large as a big dining table, On a Still Hunt.

~ from Review of Ont-of-Door Sports in General. Items of Interest From Ball Fields and Race Courses. 5 Standing of All the Clubs in the League and the American Associa- tion To-Day— Aquatic Chat — Horse News — Diamond Chips — Sporting Sundries—Gossip. 7 | 5 . . While the entire country to-day is draped in mourning for the dead hero who will be buried be- neath the sod, to say the least, it is in exceedingly bad taste for base managers to allow regular scheduled games to take place. When President | Garfield was buried a number of League clubs re- fused to break the schedule and postpone the games advertised for that day, and the result was not only a sharp criticism from the press but wholesale denunciation by the people. Here in St. Louis a game of ball between the St. Louis Browns and Pitsburgs is being played. This is greatly to be regretted, and public decency alone would have dictated that the game be postponed. \@ «es The record which has been made by the St. Louis representatives in the American Association is certainly a most enviable one, and in- sures the home club the pennant for 1888. Though there is still a possibility of the Cincinnatis or Pittsburgs in and a. the championship from — the bability is so far off that nothing but an aocci- t to each of the Browns’ cat is likely to bring about this club has worked hard for the pennant and r deserves the reward. 5 While the Association Club is making such an excellent race for first place, the St. Louis 18 Club seems to be getting worse and worse. sis has proved a decidedly off year for Mr. Lucas, and withany other manager with less perseverance t the lesson would be enough to retire him the dase-ball : world forever. However, it is a ong no turning, and while little or nothing is expected now from the Black Diamonds this year, Mr. Lucas will put a club in the field next year whose success, L as complete as that of the wos. George McGinnis’ excellent work in the box for the Browns during the few games in which he has taken part has served to make him the prime fa- vorite with the St. Leuis public. Time was when the announcement was made that McGinnis would pitch it was looked upon as the synonym for a victory. Then Jumbo was laid on the shelf after awhile, the excuse being that he had lost his form. This theory has been knocked effectually im the head, however, and he is rated the best tcher in the nine, What a snap Pittsburg would ve bad had McGinnis been released, as was seri- ously contemplated at one time. Changed Their Luek. The game between the Black Diamonds and Bos- tons at Boston yesterday was a splendid exhibition up to the last inning, Boston playing without an error, and not a St. Louis man crossing the for eight innings. In the ninth, however, the tons became rattled, and four errors allowed the visitors to make four runs, which won the game, the final score being: St. Louis, 4 Boston, & To-Morrow’s Game. The Browns and Pittsburgs play again to morrow. The nines will be arranged as follows: ST. LOUIS. POSITIONS. PITTSBURGS.

St. Louis now leads in the American Association race by eleven games, Cincinnati having lost that many games more than St. Louis and played one more.

The possible profits of an investment of a five- dollar bili correctly were beautifully illustrated in the results of the racing at Monmouth Park, says the New York Times. Suppose, for instance, a man had made up his mind Saturday to put $5 in the books on a horsein the first race, and,in the event of winning, to place the aggregate sum ou a choice in the second race, and so on through the remaining five races,suchan exhibition of pluck and luck would have yielded a tremendous fortune. For instance, Panique, in the first race would have, at odds of two to one, returned the investor $15 in the aggregate. This sum on Preci in the second race, at odds of three to one, would ve brought back $60, and the latter sum on Richmond, at two and a half to one, would have yielded $210. Rica won the fourth race, and would have, at six to one, run the total “winnings” up to $1,470. To plunge further and — this amount on the Lone Star stable’s Bill Sterritt at odds of fifteen to one, a total of $23,520 would be at the command of the better. And shouid he have gone ahead pursuing the same cy and placed his money, in the sixth race, on ister, against whom the odds were fifteen to one‘ $876,320 would have been the result. And now, if the bookmakers were not all broken, and their enemy content to quit, his aggregate gainson Gonfalon, at six to one, would have run up a grand total of $2,634,240. But it is well enough such an individual did not goto Monmoutn Park Saturday, for his success would have broken the bookmakers, a calamity not at all desired by the hordes who are — 1 trying to get even before the season closes. Yes, it is just as well that the same five—doilar intended for the races was lost on the Chicago base ball club. English Sportsmen on the Track. It is very interesting, says Vanity Fair, to watch the expression upon the faces of owners of horses during important races. Lord Rosebery selects a choice cigar, and proceeds to eat it. The Duke of Westminster tries to look as if he were interested in anything or anybody except the horses. Lord Cado- gan retires to an isolated spot, whence he can watch the proceedings unmolested, and apparently studies the mechanism of his race glasses. Mr. Craven walks about as if he had Arrived by acci- dent, and wondered what it all meant. Mr. Leopold de Rothschild selects the critical moment in a race for appropriating and summarily devouring the choicest articles of food at hand. Lord Arlington turus the color of a sheet, and forcibly suggests a rough passage across the channel. Mr. John Dela- cour a commanding position overlooking the ring, from whence he issues his final orders v much is the same way as 4 leader of an — 4 — a single wave of the hand 3 tremendous flutter of leaves and penciis. Sir John Astley is always pleased, and fortune with a broad grin, whatever happens, 3 occasionally even he is forced to dissimulate, The Duchess of Montrose invariably seeks solitude, and, if ul, emerges like a jack-in-the-box from some totally unexpected quarter. Lord Har on is never pleased, and views the proceedings with an expression of countenance worthy of Torquemada himself. Mr. Peck is—Mr. Peck. He glides in and out like a respectable mystery, and wears an ex- on of sublime innocence that defies even his . The Prince of Wales, although more often than not unsuccessful, is always imperturable, and, no matter what happens, has always a kind smilie and a genial remark for all his friends, The Origin of “Heads I Win.” The origin of the custom of “tossing a cent” is thus given by an exchange; “The tossing coins to decide disputes or settle mooted questiens is very ancient, and the expression ‘heads or tails’ has been long in use, There was also a very old En- glish expression equivalent to it, and known as ‘cross or pile.“ in allusion to the English coinage which bore on one side a cross and on the other a device which was on the p!!s or punch used in mak- ing the coin, The mans to toss the coin and call out ‘capita aut navim’'—heads or ships—in allusion to coins bearing on one side the head of Janus and on the other the prow of a ship.” The World's Light-Weight Championship. Jimmy Oarney, the champion light-weight of Great Britain, has accepted the challenge issued some months ago by Jack Dempsey for an inter- national prize fight fer $2,500 a side, for the light- weight championship of the world. It is announced that Carney will come to America to give Dempsey battle. The British champion is away below Dempsey insize and weight. He fights at 128 to 180 pounds, and stands only 5 feet 544 inches.

Furnival (one-mile tricycle champion), R. H. English (fifty miles- champion), M. Webber (five-miles champion), H. A. Speechly and A. Thompson at Alexandra Park, Loadon, Eng., July 23, is taus described: Mr. Etherington gave them the office to go by word of mouth, and if any advantage was gained by either of the competitors, it was by Webber, who ot to the front on making the first bend, and so the bell being rung for the last lap, Englisn both rushed past ebber, desperate race for the remainder of the ensued; for although Webber always re ird afterwards, tue excitement as regards the was something extraordinary, and shouting for one anc being almost indescriba- bie; and as the race from op te the Horse Show stand was a ding-do one, some excuse can be made for the wildness of the big company as up to the last twirl of each wheel the actu result hung in the balance, and it was not until the judge gave his veruict by six inches in favor of ‘urnival, that avy one really knew who had won, Webber, who stuck well to his work, was beaten about three yards from English, while Speecniy, some distance off, was fourth, and Thompson last. The whole time occupied by the race was 8m. 84s., or & outside of record time, 8m. 328. The last la was run at a rare bat, it being accomplished in 50. Sullivan and the Southern League. The clubs of the Southern League complain that it is impossible to get an umpire for Memphis since Ted Sullivan assumed the management of the club in that city. Young, who was the first umpire after his arrival, wrote and telegraphed most urgently to be removed. In a letter he wrote that Sullivan was simply intolerable to umpires who would not allow him to use them. He says that just before one of the games Sullivan said to him: “You musp’t watch the home team too closelyon cutting bases; the crowd won't stand it.“ He said that he was in daily fear of violence from Zullivan's team, and insisted on being removed. De France, the next umpire, was held there for six games, and only umpired one. It was openly said he was afraid to umpire again. The next — — Dunlevy, after umpiring one game, positively sed to umpire another because of threats made by the Memphis team. result was a Memphis umpire was put up, and the Memphis team has had loca! umpires for the past half-dozen games Pres- ident Grady recently telegraphed Umpire Dunlevy that he could net conse t for him to leave Memphis until he did umpire. This was done in response to a telegram from Dunlevy stating that, owing to threats made, he did not think he was safe in um- piring a fair game, and that he would tively not umpire another game in Memphis. —[ 0. The Cleary-Carr Fight. „It was plain from the start,” writes a correspon- dent in the News, who wasan eye witness of the Cleary-Carr fight that has set the sporting element of San Francisco all by the ears, “that Cleary was much the better man. Carr's friends were there, however, to win, tie or wrangle. They insulted Cleary and Jack Dempsey, Cleary’s second, in vari- ous ways. Carr can't fight enough, in my opinion, to keep himself from catching cold, and how he whipped Charles Turner, the colored pugilist, is, to everybody who saw him in this last battle, a mystery, Nobody wanted to act as referee Billy Jordan was acceptable to both parties, but he declined, and after the fight said it was dangerous for any man to act, as Carr's friends would revenge themselves on the referee if Carr should lose. Pat Coyle consented to serve. Cleary knocked Carr down several times and had everything his own way, when in the nineteenth round, Cleary swung his right on Carr's neck, and when he recovered it quickly Carr fell to the floor. Carr's seconds claimed a foul because of wrestling, and demanded the fight. The referee seeing Carr's friends coming upon the s in force wanted to decide in favor of Carr, but Jack Dempsey explained the rules, and wanted the referee to order the men to continue: Jack Hallinan, Carr’s backer, tried to bulldoze the referee and claimed the fight for Carr, but he couldn't manage it. At last the referee called the mill a draw to the disgust of everybody. Dempsey shouted that his mau wanted to t it out, but Carr — from the stage and ranlike a grey- h to the dressing- fearing, apparentiy that ‘the referee might his decision again and order them to continue. Every body left the Pavilion disgusted, swearing that they would never pay another cent to see Carr fight. The first time he fought Cleary he excused his de- feat by saying he broke a knuckie, but this time he made a poorer show still. The last time he was de- feated he had a benefit. Friends of fair play here will countenance no more benefits for him until he rids himself of the gang at his side of the ring, planted there to keep him from losing and the other man from winning. The Carr party have been jealous because Jack Dempsey has been successful in downing every man he has yet met, and they promise to whip him if he don’t leave town. Demp- sey says he will run chances and stay right here.“ Gymnasium Notes. There is a —— base ball pitcher now in training at the Gymnasium for its base ball club. He is ambidexterous, delivers the bail equally well with either hand, He practices every afternoon and surprises all who see him at werk.

Manager Mutrie could take the Mets now and win more games from this out than Gifford won all season. Pittsburg will hang on to Pete M mn for fear of accident. Pete is a very good twirler to have in reserve. Tim Manning has displeased Providence, and Tim’s chances are slim for wearing “dem golden slippers.’’ Pischney, the new pitcher of the Cincinnatis, is a proteze of Tony Mullane and is said to be a promising youngster. Big Pete Hotaling led the batting during the early part of the season. Now he stands forty-ninth, and his record is .251.

Buffinton struck out sixteen men of the Detroit Club on Thursday—a better record than any other League pitcher bas made this season. The Sporting Life says: “The Brooklyn Clubs is getting badly crippied. Cause: Being overbur- deved by the weight of their defeats. Twice has Hecker pitched when only three hits were made off him yet the game was lost, although the other pitcher was hit safely eight times. Billy Hunter, who was reserve catcher for the Louisville club during the first —— last year, now belongs tothe Clippers, of liton, Canada. Marr Phillips, of tbe Pittsburg Club, who has been nursing an injured arm for some time, has joined the club again, his arm being well enough to per- mit of bis playing.

How the Postmasterships and Other Plums Are Obtained—Senator Cock- rellas a Provider for His Relatives— Missouri's Congressmen and Their Followers. ¥ In the course of a political harangue delivered somewhere in the backwoods of Missouri several years ago, United States Senator George G. Vest remarked that it was true that most babies were born crowing for milk, but that “the Ewings came into the world crying for office.’ The statement was doubtless suggested by the fact that almost every male member of the family, of age at that time. was luxuriating in a salary draw as an office- holder of Unele Sam's Government, and it ap- ples with equal force, for the same reason, at the present day. Since the ascendency of the new Administration, Senator Cockrell has demonstrated his belief in the doctrine that all other things being equal relatives are de- serving of the first consideration, and no less than ten of his family relations are to-day enjoying the fruits of the National Democratic vietory. After hina it cannot’ be said that there is any other one politician, no matter what his prominence, who has thus far given practical evidences of his ability to handle the 2 in so independent a manner and without regard tothe wishes or influences of the Political bosses.” President Cleveland lost no time after his-inaugu- ration in having it understood by Senators and Representatives thatin all local appointments he would rely entirely upon their recommendations. Subsequently he adhered steadfastly to that prin- ciple of his policy aud in every instance named only men selected by the States representatives. Some confiding, but unfortunate, applicants have been beard to remark: “Ok, well. I bad my Con- gressinan for me, but the President had another man for the place and I was shut out.” In a majori'y of cases these men are mistaken. The office being a loca! one, the President beyond a doubt appointed the person recommended by the represeutative. The representative. unwilling to make new enemies, finds it much easier to make a scape-goat of the Administration than to tei] the ran that he had another favorite for the place. Dozens of applications for the same position from different persons are On file in Washington bearing the signatures and indorsement of the Congressman of the district. But the applications count for very little; they are placed on file, and generally that ends them. Itis the personal interest of the Congress- man or Senator thet is an important factor in gain- ing the effice prize, and which iasurés success. When it is learned that SENATOR COCKRELL or Congressman Heard, orany other Representa- tive, has called upon the President for the pu of soliciting the appointment of Mr. Smith as Inter- nal Revenue Collector or some other vacant Federal position, the information may be put down as im- portant, forthe chances are that Mr. Smith will receive 6 appointment ere many days have passed. Poor Brown, Jones and Robinson, who are also applicants. and whose voluminous petitions, sign y every prominent resident in the district, including the Congressman, are on fle.“ are left out in the cold as badly as if they had never taken astep u the matter. rom the appointments in this Stafe, up to date, it is evident that the profes- sional politicians are still on top and dictating to considerable extent the action of the Senators and Congressmen, save in the case of Senator Francis Marian Cockrell, who turns a deaf ear to the “bposses’’ and stands forth a shining example of nepotism and home rule. ibe following are a few of his relatives who, hold office through his direct influence. Henry W. Ewing, brother-in-law, Cierk of the Suprenie Court; Eph Ewing, Consul-General to Mexiwo; Jonu M. Stapp, brother-in-law, Post- master at Missouri City, Clay County; John R. Walker, brother-in-‘aw, State claim agent; Dr. Fulkerson, nephew, Postmasier at Lexington; Mr. Wallace, cousin, a $5,000 per annum position in Uiab; Ashiy Ewing, ther-in-law, Commissioner of the Permanent Seat of Govern- ment at Jefferson City; Dr. Chas. Ewing, United States Surgeon, New Mexico. In addition to these he has a near relative an applicaat fora Federa: office at Springfield, and another holding a Deputy Kevenue Collectorship at Louisiana, Mo. The oui relative whom SENATOR VEST has obtained office for,is his son George G., who holds a $1,800 Vonswar position. In this city there have been but few cliauges made by the new Admins tration Owing to the failure of the Congressmen to agree upon the successors of the present incum- bents. Then the disposition of Cockreil and Vest to interfere by pushing the claims of Judge Ed- waris and Dick Lancaster for United States Marshal and Collector of the Port, respectively, has also tended to complicate the situation somewhat. In connection with the Congressmen the influence exerted by Ed Butter. Lancaster, Harrigan, Keevii and others, is un- questionable, and so it is — ape the entire State. Every Congressman has his set of cronies and backers. Men who have literally elevated him to his high position by faithful work at the polis and on the stump,and who censequentiy have claims upon his power and influence, which he must recognize. In Cengressman Jim Burnes‘ district Waller Young, Sam Green and Tom Parrah form a trio, very effective in the heat of a contest and always on haad to assist in appropriating the “spoils.” With their help and advice Burnes has been able to so dis- tribute his tronage as to be most effective in bousting the Senatorial boom which he is nursing. All 12712 —— in his district are made with a view to furthering his chances for filling Cockrell's seat two years hence. Burnes aud his advisers all reside in St. Joseph. 1 Dockery, whose district adjoins that of Burnes, has his constituency divided up b counties. Thomas H.

Retail Prices of Sandry Supplies That Cheer the Inner Man. The délightful weather of the past week ravived trade at the market considerably, but the sudden rise in the thermometer last evening caused great dejection among the marketmen. Altiticipating that the cool weather would be of longer contluu- ance, all the dealers had in a good stock, and the boom in business not being as great as they ex- peoted, they are left with a zreat deal of stock on hand which they will find it impossible to dispose ot in time. Saturday is always a biz day, and they had hoped to get rid of a great deal of it before to- night, but the Mayor's proclamation requiring them to close after 12 o'clock was another set back to their plans. A great deal of fruit is how being sold in the market. This isthe season of the year when housewives ate busy putting up preserves and jeilies, and basket after basket of peaches, grapes, plums, crab apples and pears are now bought and used for that purpose. Blackberries, buck leberries, and cherries, too, are in ereat demand, though very soarce. Grapes are now selling at 156 a pound California being quoted at %c, The prices of butter have advanced, Bigin now being held at Ne, and dairy as from 150 to 25c. The meat dealers report a picking up in the meat business last week, but if the hot weather inaugurated yesterday continues trade in their line will probably dink back into tite former duilness.

It represents Italy.“ Wapper’s pictures are mostly histor4e subjects, such as the devotion of the Burgomasters of Leydon, “Obtrles IX. during St. Bartholomew's Mansacre, Peter the Great with the Ship Builders of Saardem,” “The Great Fishing at Antwerp” (one for Queen Victoria). and others, There are but two or three of his works in America, one being in possession of M.

The English record for a mile was lowered July 9by M. V. Webber of the Isle of Wight as follows: Quarter, 42; half, 1:21}4; thrae-quarters, 2:00; mile, 2:392-5. ‘The American record is 2:89. In reply to Captain Beckers’ urgent request, the Missouris turned out iu full uniform this afternoon and were so surprised that they hardiy knew each other and had to renew acquaintances. Last evening Fred Russ Cook was out at the Fair Grounds track, and, though not in extra trim, ran a quarter-mile in thirty-eight seconds, a perform- ance that was duplica in a few moments by Cola Stone, Secretary Stewart, finding the office of secretary- treasury too onerous, at his request the Ramblers at their last méeting so amended the constitution as to divide the office, and Mr. E. H. Gorse, the Star rider, was elec.ed treasurer, Mr. Stewart remainiog in bis old position. A letter, which is signed “George E.

The Rambiers’ Ciud is talkin meeting to take place atthe Fair Grounds track tunis fall. It is proposed to carry out tue affair on a much larger scale, however, than the first venture, whicu was held May 23. The meeting is to take place the week before the opening of the St. Louis Fair, whiie che Exposition is going and is to last three days. Prizes aggregating $2,500 are to be offered, and such other inducements made as will br the leading racers of the country to St. Loyis. The pluck of the Ramblers is extremely conimendabie, as, while it is not the largest club in the city, it has enough nerve to undertake such a meeting. It is to be hoped that tae Ramobiers’ pians will fully mature. and if they do, whicu now seems very likely, people will have an opportunity of seeing some of the Last ers and broken records. At the Ramblers’ Club this week, besides the race meeiing this fail, consid - erable discussion ensued on the advisability of chang ng quarters and going to greater expense to secure larger accommodations. The matter was settled by ihe appointment ef a committee to in- vestigate and report at a special meeting to be held in two weeks. in the discussion some showed that they thought more pretentious headquarcers would have a material effect on the securing of the National League meet for this city next year. Others wanted the preseat club house at Eighteen and Olive retained, while others still wanted somethiug a little better, but not costly enough to embarrass the club in any way in- dividualiy or collectively, It looks very much as if seme kind of à chauge will be recommended by tne special Committee. The banquet to Fred Russ Cook, the Pacific coast champion and late hower of tue 24-hour bicycle record, at Delmonico's this evening, will unqgues- tionabiy be attended in such numbers aud with such a spirit that the occasion will show that St. Louis can honor outside as well as home champions. Ihe exercises at the Natatorium last evening were very enjoyable, and acted as a déiightful prelude to ay td sport. This morning Klipstein, Brewster, kers and Mr. Cook took an eariy ride out toward Kirkwood and Manchester. As before announced in the Post-Dispaton,tbe ban- quot to-night is to be preceded by a fun which was begun this afieruoon at 3:10 o’elock trom Nineteenth and Pine streets. Tue route was to Theresa avenue, through Tower Grove Park, thence in on tae old Manchester road, across to King's Highway, to Forest Park, around the Park to Delmonico's. The nead of the lina con- taining Missouris, Ramblers and Eurotas, showed the representative character of the parade. Mr. Cook expects to leave to-morrow mocning, but the committee hope to keep him over and take him to Manchester to-morrow, The frequently mentioned expertness of St. Louis wheeimen in general, in the matter of mounting and riding, is often doubted by those who attribute such praise to a local exuberance, but the riding of S.

The bills are steep, they are in fact clouduissers, and Jerry Davis comes u to the front to say that the statement that he and Cola Stone have ciimbed all the hills between Deso- to and St. Louis isa mistake. This frank avowal will be a great relief, not only to the average cycler, but also to farmers whe have to use four horses to pull au empty wagen up to the top of some of the inclines.

The parasol hat was given a fair test, being used during the en- tire 100-mile ride, and it demenstrated its practica- bility as a headgear for road riding. Through its beneficent qualities several of the party received invigoration and immunity from daoger of sua- strose. The result of the ride is that tue beauties of che Southern roads are being brougut to the oon- sideratiun of waeeim and Secretary Stewart of the Rambiers, woo has — around Areadia the past few days, has arranged for the visit of a party of tnirty or forty wheelmen to Arcadia next Saturday, the 15th, the following Sunday being taken up in exploring the roads around the summer resort.

People Who Beguile the Oredulous er ume St. Louis. Visits to Fortune Tellers, Clairvoyants, Olairaudients, Mediums, Prophets and All of That lik—The Flimsy Pretences Which Deceive the Public —Queer People, Queer Questions and Queer Answers. = There are in St. Louis to-day just thirteen per- nam who earn a more or less precarious living by the various branches of fortune-telling, including clairvoyance, spirit-rapping, card-shoffling, star- gating, slate-writing, etc., all of which may be summed up in the phrase, “a distinction wit hout a difference.” Whether it is owing to the proverbial evil fortune of the number thirteen, or from other and less easily specified causes, ia not certain, but the fact remains that of these thirteen miracu- lously-dewered and spirit-possessed persons, not ome has acquired notoriety by any extraordinary evidence cf prophetic power. Of the thirteen under discussion he male sex is represented by but one solitary individual, who professes to be an Australian, but bears an awful look of rank Yan- keeism about him. Advertising himself under the distinctive title of : PROFESSOR “IBOLA, he lures the two-collar bills of the too Confiding public into his pockets (under the pre- tense of telling them all the mysteties of life and death) by a soul-thrilling aud awe-inspiring adver- tisement in the columns of the daily press. ; Up the steps of the earthly mansion temporarily inbabited by this favored mortal glided the representative of the Posr Disrarck. one broiling day last week. The bour was 2 p. m. and the mystic hours sacred to the shades of evensong and the release of disembodied spirits were yet far away. Perchance, this was the reason why the medium, having advertised ‘his consulting hours from 9a. m. to 9 p. m., kept the reporter and sev- eral ladies waiting just two hours and a half, while he skipped off into the city to buy groceries and interview the spirit of the Southern grapes. When at last he arrived he took half an houf’s recreation, probably for the purpose of galling spirits from the vasty deep, so that what with one thing and another, it was5 p. m. before the representative was ushered into the awful presence of the medium. A half-frightened, pale, sickly, nervpus looking little man, who looked asif he could not have mustered up the courage to address a goose by the opprobious epithet Bon“ confront- ed the representative and tried to work up a glare in two little weak bluish gray ey that had not five cents worth of glare anywhere ut them. “Do you wish to Consult the oracle of the past and the future?“ he demanded grauuif. “Why, yes! I would like to have my fortune told,” observed the visitor, trying to soften down the keen glance of an eagle eye, so as not to too greatly ter- rify the weak little medium. “I don’t tell fortunes, replied the seer in a hol- low voice. “I am under the guidance ofa powerful band of spirits, and at this moment I hear the voice of the great master of them all, within my heart, telling me of strange things yet to come.” ‘ “What do you charge?’ inquired the reporter, coming sharp up to tue point. “My charze is 2, remarked the seer, with a far- away lookin his eyes as though his soul were in communion with more mystic influences than drastic gold. 1 think $2 is too much. You only charged a friend of mme who came to you $1," objected the visitor. a “Never! My charge is always $2, and I take no less, observed the medium inthe most decisive tone he bad used that day. Aa the representative pressed the point, the medium ine first restive and then suspielous, and finally on being urged to take $1 50, observed that the temperament of the representative was not sy pathetic. and he did not tuink the spirits would commune at all. At last with a sigh of regrét at wasting so much good money the ciien: drew a $2 bili from her pock- etbook and laid it on the.taule, keeping one hand carefully upon it the while, but the med um's suspi- Cclons being fairly aroused either by the care taken of the money or by some sharp questioning tuat had shivered and trembied, and remarked that tem hts were not in accordance and tne spirits were Unwilling, and in fact, inferred that he would rather be excused. After some persuasion, however, tempted possi- bly — tae offered bill, he cousented to try. “What do you wish to know?” he asked. 11 want to know my maiden and my present name, when, where, whom and how to marry, my business prospecis and how to stop drinking; also, 1 want to know all about my past. present and future, queth the representative, hOse mudesty was on that vocasion held in abeyance. lhe medium gave his visitor a glance of mingied terror and suspicion and commenced scribbling on a slate so rapidly taat his pencil orose in hail. “There it breaks ot, you see,” he remarked, with an air of relief jumping up from his seat; the spir- its won't communicate.

The wife of Olivier Pain is in Palermo, and lives by her trade of milliner and dressmaker, She has many customers, and is one of the most fashionable ies Of her profession.

He made a contract with the Figaro that he would reach El Mahdi and send correspond- ence from the rebel camp for a salary of man thousands of francs a month. He engaged, also, to send letters to many other pers, Freneh and foreign. He started from Palermo 1 letter of introduction to El Mahdi, written by the teacher of El Mahdi, who now ides in this city. He stopped some days at Jairo; where some friends tried in vain to dis- suade him from the dangerous enterprise. He said to M. Barrere, the h Consul and his friends: I have promised to meet El Mahdi and shall do so, even if I lose my life for it.” HS wrote to Mme. Pain at Paris: “I am starting for the interior. I don’t hide from myself the very many dangers which I shall meet, but I trust in my good star. You do thé same and live in quiet.

Pain says she received letters regularly from El Mahdi’s A and, therefore, those who asserted that her husband had never reached El Mahdi were not well informed. These letters were all carried to Egypt by a special cuurier of El Mahdi. It was through the eimissaries of El Mahdi, who often went to Cairo, that Pain communi- cated with the Bosphore Egyptien. This paper communicated with his iamily and in- tormed the public also how Pain was in the Mahdi's camp and had become his Minister. Yet, as Pain could not send regular informa- tion, the Figaro 3 the sal of his family. Then Mme. Pain came to Palermo to M. Jurtal, her friend, — her four chil- dren in Paris.

While seated in a chair resting him- self he glared at the crumpled dress lying on the floor, and the idea occurred to him that the only way to keep the pocket from dodging him was to put the dress on. He did so and then renewed his search, but his hands would slide into loops, furbelows, folds, flounces, and every - thing else except the much desired et. This was more than he could stand, and he de- termined to take off the dress and tear it to pieces, and thus discover the dwelling-place of the pocket.

After two trials the plan has been temporarily abandoned as in a measure impracticable and lack- ing in the benefits which it was thought would be derived from it by the troops. Another drawback was the failure of the rank and file to become in- spired with the same lofty ideas upon the subject as were entertainedjby Colonel Meier; consequently, outside of the friends of the Colonel, the men weren’t boiling over with enthusiasm in its favor, and most of those who participated did so wholly from a sense of duty.
