THE LIBERALS DISGUSTED WITH THE AC- TION OF THE TORIES. The Times-Dillon Incident Still Agitating English Politicians—Minister Phelps and Consul-General Waller—Queen Victoria's Jubilee Celebrated at Teheran—Denial of France’s Reported Defensive Alliance— Foreign News. Special Cablegram to the Post-Dispatch. @ Lonpon, May 7.—It would be difficult to ex- aggerate the disgust of the Liberals, or the great shame and open wrath of the Tories upon the whole question of the privilage de- bate. For weeks past the Times has been hurling the foulest charges against the Irish members, and the Tories have been repeating them in the House night after night. Both the newspapers andthe poli- ticilans made their chief taunt the demand that these charges be met. Now, when Gladstone himself moves ina perfectly Constitational methoa for a select committee of the House to inqutre into these charges — when Dillon appeals for it that he may meet the charges against himself —when Parnell telegraphs asking its scope to be so enlarged as to include the whole ques- tion of the Times’ fac-simile letter—when Morley on Gladstone’s behalf, expresses aqui - escence in this view—the Government and all their followers turn instantly RIGHT-ABOUT- FACE, and refuse an inquiry with a majority of eighty-four. Being, of course, absolutely certain, as every sane man may almost be said to be, Parnell will not subject himself to all the risks and uncertainties of a colossal libel suit. The feeling upon this may be judged from the concluding words of the Pall Mall Gazette editorial to-day: ‘‘The country will know what to think of this. It is idle to say that the Irish members could vindicate themselves if they pleased by taking action at law against their traducers. The Irish members, rightly or wrongly, do not think they need vindicating, and itis not the Hume-Rulers who are laying stress upon the importance of the charges in the Times. We would be perfectly willing to treat them with silent contempt. Itis the other side that lays such stress upon these accusations. If for any reason it cannot force the Irish members to take an action at law, then, if there is a spark of sincerity in their professions, they are bound to take the only course left open to them—that is to proceed by the way of a select committee. This they refuse todo. Yet, we suppose, they are stil! to be regarded as honorable members, led by aright honorable gentleman—as if a coward could be a gentieman, or a poltroon who shirks a challenge to make good accusa- Mons which he persists in repeat- can dwell elsewhere than in the depths of dishonor. Dillon distinctly da- clared, last night, thatthe Parnelilte offer to meet ali the charges in the article, ‘‘Parnell- ism and Crime, was made then for the last time and he appealed to the Government as honorable men and gentlemen, in eloquent and almost pathetic language, not to deny them this opportunity PHELPS AND WALLER. Further inguiry proves that there is not the slightest shadow of foundation for anything but perfectly cordial feelings that exist or have existed between the American Minister and Consul-General Waller. „ LITERARY CHAT.

LONDON, May 7.—The Times, commenting on the action of the House of Commons in regard to the Dillon-Times affair, says: The really interesting thing in the debate was the little comedy, played, we presume, under the direc- tion of Mr. Gladstone, with a precision seem- ing to show it was not wholly wunre- hearsed, offering to enlarge the scope of a parliamentary inquiry at the last moment, when it was known that the amendment for an inquiry would be rejected. We cannot jmagine who the opposition think they can de- ceive by so palpable a trick. For our own part we have every reason to be satisfied with .the result of the debate.’’ THE KEMPTON PARK MEETING.

THE AFTERNOON SESSION began with a Bible-reading, by Mrs. Hoffman, of some length. The Committees on Resolu- tions and Credentials reported, and the con- vention was discussing them at 4 o’clock. Hoffman was to follow with would be reached From the Pall Mall Gazette. Mr. Cross, the naturalist, was good enough to recount the following incident which took place in his establishment a short time since: I received from a young Frenchman of osed of Mrs. Ad M M lies Mason, Mise 1 wees. good family several letters in which he A.

I had just time to tell him that he might enter at his own risk, when 1 was called into the office. After the lapse of a quarter of an hour a man rushed up to the desk where I was writing and exclaimed excitedly: „Mr. oss, one of the ons is out!?“ Where!“ asked, to Which he replied, Loose in ot I for temperance dis- which she urged the ladies not the buildin On hurrying to the spot I be set in their opinion, but te yield found the door of the den open, and the whenever the Harmony of the Frenchman inside with his back against the wooden partition, and two of the lions staring him in the face, while the escaped lion had made far the end of the narrow passage, where it was medita mischief o the other Frenchmen, who had taken refuge on the top of a pile of boxes, their faces as white as a sheet. The first thing [ did was to close the door leading to the yard, and next to get the amateur lion-tamer out of the den, It was well tor him that one of the lions had got out of the cage, because the other two were so amazed at the factthat they re- mained for a minute or two perfectly still.

W. Cobb & Co., the total decrease in the stock for week will probably reach 400,000 bu. The withdrawals trom elevators for river ship- mentfor five days this week were 289,500 bu. They would have been larger only for the rains which = emt loading on several days.—- New leans export clearances yesterday were 41,175 bu wheat, and 45,250 bu corn to Rouen. ——Foreigners, by which is probably meant the English, yer knaw, were selling the far-off options in Chicago and New York to-day.— With June wheat at 87%c in Toledo to-day, puts“ goed for the balance of the month were offered at 8lec. That market expects to see her stock under 1,000,000 bu next week, and there are rumors of a deal working there. —— Inspections into the barges yesterday were 102,700 bu No. red wheat, 45,000 bu No. 2 corn and 10,000 bu No. 2 oats.——They say that while wheat was considerably lower than itis now, St. Louis millers had the South flooded with offers to sell their flour at prices that just saved them the cost of manufacture. Now the wires are loaded down with messages from St. Louis and signed by well-known milling firms’ names tuat read: Withdraw A to sell;“ Pull out;’’ ae pee don’t ‘and sim! lar expressions a vin 8 of mind.——A certain EE had just handed out a straight tip on wheat to a small, but seléct gathering on the floor, and as he walked away one of the crowd remarked: ‘‘That man has no opinion on the market, except such as he gets from his Chicago house. Well,“ said another, 1 don’t know but that he’s in better shape than a good many of the boys who have an opinion on the rarket, but that’s ali they have got, and then he sighed and said wearily, and that’s my case. A Softly whispered, Me, too, Pete, ran around and then the crowd ‘adjourned. —-The rule pro- hibiting trading in settlement on the call, and which the traders have asked to be suspended for the May and June options will be passed upon by the directors next Monday. The bulls believe they have discovered an African in the — fuel in this seemingly innocent request. If traders are allowed to offer to buy or on . — in settioment, any one not at all inter - ested in the market, or between contracts, so that in either case it would be impossible for him to make a settlement, could offer to sell May or June in settlement at ö or even 10 cents below what an actual buyer would be prepared to pay. These offers to sell would not alone disturb the local market, but going to other markets and.the country would, y misquoting the actual market here, do great injury to some party having trades here aud also influence the course of values elsewhere. Thus, on yesterday June was offered in the pit in settlement’’ down to S34ec, when not a sale was made, and this largely lower price, = to Chicago, broke that market down——Wool receipts since Jan- uary I amount to 1,422,215 bs, exceedin same time last ear dy port clearances ot Wheat at four Atlantio ports for the week ending yesterday were less than 1. 300,000 bu. ——Harker & Pritchard’s Merchants’ Exchange Price Current reviews the wool mar- ket as follows: The steady rain during the week interfered with usiness greatly, = J 3 rr; sales h a * Tue wet — rther el y shearing in the country, though a few bright warm days will 8 in- poner the volume of shipments. of choice, properly handied wools were abundant and sold free yat fall quota- — and in some instances for a fraction more for really fancy lots.

The latest romance of the floor now is that the elevator men and millers have kissed and made up their late differences, but that the millers now éxclaim: ‘*‘D—— the exporters!’’ Wheat was in a badly-mixed and most tire- mely unsatisfactory shape this morning. ders were con the _ thing with a = ‘“ourb’’ u 86120 for June, gh gy cables steeds ur strong and 350, bu decrease in the local stocks. This put a little more ginger into the bulis and made the bears w „so that there was no trouble in opening the market at 4@kee vance, No orders to speak of were here and trading was of the lightest, most desultory description, chiefly in a small scalping way. Most of the pressure to sell was directed against the far-off options, as the weather was beautiful and reports on the crop unexcelled, hence when Chicago and other markets an to weaken off these months de- clined rapidly, pulling down with them the nearer options, Noone would tradein May, and very few in June, save in settile- ment, parties having peremptory sell had to actually June at Ike de · da buyer. This shows what a beautiful (7) “market it was. ay was very lightly traded in, but closed the same as 3 ay, while June was Wo and the deferred months %@%c lower.

VIRGINIA’S ENGLISH K OREDITOMS. The mission of so distinguished a diplo- mate as Sir Epwarp Tsorwrow to this country in behalf of English holders of repudiated Virginia bonds has elicited some wild guessing as to what it means or | what may come of it, The suggestion that it portends a suit against the State in the United States Courts is untenable, because jurisdic- tion of suits against one of the United States dy citizens of another State or by citizens or subjects of any ‘| foreign State’? is expressly withheld from United States Courts by the Elev- enth Amendment, and the Supreme Court has decided that jurisdiction of suits against one of the United States by an- other State of the Union or by a foreign State is conferred only where the cause of action is a State matter. It was held that suits by a State acting merely as the col- lecting agent or assignee of private claim- ants, its citizens or subjects, would bea manifest evasion of the Eleventh Amend- ent and could not be entertained, Still more absurd is the suggestion that Great Britain will demand payment to her Virginia bondholders from the United States Government, and in case of refusal, attempt to collect the money by some ex- ertion of force amounting to war. She took no such course in the case of re- pudiated State bonds held by Englishmen many years ago when the United States were not half as able as they now are to take and hold all of British America by way of indemnity or reprisal. British capitalists buying the bonds of American municipalities are afforded by our laws the same legal remedies against the debt- or as American creditors, and can ask no more. The United States Government is no more bound to foreign creditors for the debts of St. Louis than for the debts of any railroad corporation or private bor- rower, and foreigners who speculate in such securities or in State bonds must take precisely the same chances in such ventures as our own citizens. Great Britain does not guarantee the bonds of the public or private corporations doing business under her laws, and the capital- ists of England learned forty-odd years ago that a State debt is not a United States debt and cannot be collected by law, nor by war either, unless the collector is able and willing to whip the whole United States. The United States, however, formed a néw state out of Virginia’s territory with- out her consent, which consent the Fed- eral Constitution expressly made a condi- tion precedent to the validity of such dis- memberment, and it was Western Vir- ginia’s proportion ofthe old State’s debt that Virginia refused to pay. On this ac- count Mr. BIam suggested that the United States should in equity compen- sate Virginia for the territory and taxa- ble wealth forcibly and irregularly taken from her, and that such compensation might most appropriately take the shape of an assumption by the Federal Govern- ment of at least the disputed part of the Old Dominion’s debt. Sir EDWARD THORNTON may have been sent to Rich- mond on this hint, and the record facts thence obtained by him may figure in some future correspondence in which the British Government. will press Mr. BLAINE’S view of the matter upon Uncle Sam’s magnanimity and sense of justice. — —— — A CALLED SBSSION’S POWERS. CaMDEN’s re-election as Senator was de- feated by bolting Democrats in the West Virginia Legislature, who, on account of his connection with the Standard Oil Company and the railroads, refused to abide by his nomination. After a long deadlock the Legislature adjourned with- out electing a Senator. Then the Goy- ernor, whé is the leader of the anti- monopoly faction, appointed Lucas te fill the vacant seat in the Senate until it should be filled by the Legislature. Having done this he called an extra session of the Leg- islature to pass necessary appropriation bills. It had been the game of the CamMDEN men to force such a call and trust to a successful combination with the Repub- licans. But the Governor oarefully omitted the election of Senator from his enumeration of the business to be trans- acted, and the Constitution of the State expressly deprives the Legislature of power to act at a called session on any subject not stated in the call or sub- mitted by the Governor. Nevertheless the Legislature elected FavLENER, a Dem- ocrat, after Campen withdrew, having failed.to get a majority with the help of six Republicans. The consequence is a con- | test for the seat between two Democrats, ‘and ® Republican Senate will have to decide the interesting question whether the power conferred on State asked | White | Leplalahives by the Boderal Constis} ¢ 5 tae FF | direct river and tai connections with the ——— eee X a ee nr - ~~). ~~ -_ = hold that it is the same body, identically constituted, and that the limitation upon its powers applies only te State legislation, and not to any authority derived directly from the Constitution of the United States, Most probably it will be held that while the constitution ef the Legislature is a matter of State law, ite power to elect a. United States Senator, when once law- fully congtituted, is limited or n by Federal al law only, - THE 3 NEW SOUTH. An article in this issue presents a very cheering array of facta about the rapidly | a growing importance of Memphis as a busi- ness center, and about the booming de- velopment of the industries and resources of the adjacent and tributary Southern States. The New South is not only extend; ing and improving her agriculture, but diversifying it and going in for diversified industries generally. Rapid transportation by rail has made fruit and vegetable oult- ure luorative, given markets to out-of- the-way localities and rendered available numerous resources that were previously valueless. All this has aroused to new life and energy great masses of pre- viously listless people, and the South is beginning to rival the Northwest in business activity and enterprise, Such dn awakening was bound to show its first results in Southern cities, and they are nowhere more conspicuous than in Memphis. Her situation on the banks of the great river at a point most eonvenient for exchanges between States on either side, and between the cotton belt and the Wod - produoing and stock- growing sections, has made her a most important railroad center, and ber future as one of the great cities ef the Union is assured. Her cheap bread and meat country give her a special hold on the commerce growing out of a development of the rich iron and coal resources of Alabama and Tennessee. The effect of this new working force in the land ef gotton, the stimulus given to trade by this new eddition to Southern sources of wealth, are set forth in the article referred to, and are conclusively attested by the remarkable business boom and growth of Memphis. —— i —- 0 —— MONOPOLY’S DEMAND, The flexibility of the long-and-short- haul clause is amply provided for. In every special case wherein its suspension can be justified, the Commission is au- thorized to suspend it. But its repeal, or the general suspension demanded by the railroads, simply means a license to charge ‘‘all the traffic will bear in all cases,’’?’ It means a concession to rail- road traffic managers of plenary au- thore to set up prohibitory or pro- tective tariffs between States, between cities, or at every cross-roads where they or their managers may choose to build up or tear down industrial or commercial interests. The general sus- pension or the repeal of that clause would restore to the Pacific railroads the power to make intermediate points pay the through rate, plus the local rate from the opposite terminus. Here are a few ex- amples of such charges taken from the Pacific railroad schedules and used by Senator BECK in his speech on the inter- state commerce bill. , Through rate New York to San Francisco, 8,800 miles, $300. Short haul, San Francisco to Riko, 619 miles, $500. Total freight to Elko, 2,681 miles from New York, $800. Through rate, 3,300 miles, $300. Short haul, San Francisco to Winnemucca, 475 miles, $416. Total freight to Winnemucca, 2,835 miles from New York, $716. Through rate, 3,800 miles, $800. Short haul, San Francisco%o Reno, 906 miles, $236. Total from New York to Reno, 2,994 miles from New York, $536. There is no possible justification for such discriminations. But it & to restore that system of charges that the manipu- lators of $3,000; 000, 000 of bogus stocks are now exerting all the railroad influence in this country to coerce business men into the railroad fight against the long - and - short-haul clause. — — . — — Tuose old flings at Gen. BUCKNER about the surrender of Fort Donelson were. worn out while he was editing the Louis- yille Courier nineteen years ago, and they probably offend Gen. GRANT'Ss family more than any other persons in this coun- try. Kentucky soldiers know that Bucx- NER Was notin command at Fort Donel- son; that if he had been the garri- son would not have been surrounded and taken by an overwhelmingly su- perior foree; that he refused to make hia escape with his superiors in com- mand, FLorp and PTLow, and that the surrender was by him only because he mantully chose to share the fate of the men whose capture had been rendered inevitable by blunders for which he was not responsible. As for his note protest- ing against the terms imposed by Gen. GRanNT, the latter saw in it a meaning which the words did not convey to the general public, and the generous friend- ship whieh BUCKNER had before shown to GRANT was again attested in the hour of the ex-President’s greatest trial many years after; 1 THE members of the Counell well know that few of them could have been elected EF publicly pledaad to reject good Rominn- ‘tions on merely partizan grounds’ They must know thatthere is no party majority here big enough te carry a Council tieket nA - . + 7 Pa Re Bi Sn eee reu - der is by fulfilling this understanding and keeping faith with the masses who elected them. To reject good men on merely partisan grounds, and insist. on the ap- pointment of inferier men at the dicta- tion of ward bosses end spoile-hunting ‘teombines,” would be a l awfully parched desert. Hewitt on the one side and Mayor Fitier Da the other had directed their blue - coated minions to see that all saloon entrances, both front and side, were closed. The orderg were obeyed to the letter, Neither by wink, up, arowier ar any of the other well-known methods of allaying Sunday thirst eceuid the parched throats of Philadelphia and New York be moistened. But the jurisdiction of the New York and Philadelphia Mayors did not extend to the Btate that lies between the two great cities, and many parched souls were moved to utter heartfelt benedictions on New Jersey. They were glad from the bottom of their thirsty hearts that there was such a State as New Jersey. They were glad that a river ran on either side of it and that ferry: boats carried passengers at moderate rates. They were glad that people had been thoughtful enough to build cities and towns at Jersey City, Ho- boken, Camden and Gloucester, and that saloons existed in these places, the doors of which were not utterly and irrevocably closed to the pleadings of a Sunday thirst. A Wife's Superior Judgment, From the Philadelphia Times, One well authenticated instance in which the superior judgment of a wife was proved, is that of a Southern woman whose husband went wild over the Tennessee coal and iron stock just before the drop in value. The wife had brought her husband a considerable property at their marriage and turned itall over to his care. Fier judgment was against the buying of the stock in which he had become inter- ested. She had a fair bank account of her own, and when she found that he was determined to buy the stock at a high price she drew out every dollar she had and sold the stock short. He came home three or four nights afterward withaface as long as the moral law and a disposition to commit suicide, It was quickly changea when his wife showed him a note from her broker, an- pouncing the closing of her transactions with a profit double the amount which her husband had lost, For a moment or two he looked as blank as an imbecile, turning over his papers in a dumb, mechanical way, and then a smile spread over his face and his earlier humor re- turned, The event was fittingly concluded by a mutual resolve to be satisfied with what they had and solemniged by full preparations fora voyage to the Bermudas the following week. Whisky vs. Beor. From the Philadelphia Record. Whatever may be the fate of this prohibitory amendment in Texas, there is no good reason why the distillers of Ohio and Kentucky should contribute any — 8 to bring about its de- feat. Should the ment be adopted there might be a tempor eck to the consump- tion of beer, Wut WRisky would flow more copiously than ever. No State has yet estab- lished among ite inhabitants the virtues of sobriety and self-denial by legisiative enact- ment, or even by a prohibitory decree of their own adoption, Texas has a severe law pro- hibiting the carrying of deadly weapons; yet there is no State in which the revolver is so frequentiy put to violent use, In communi- ties In which law is respected a high license system has been found the only effective means of restraining the abuses and evils of the liquor traffic. But the submission of a prohibitory amendment to the people of superstitious faith in the potency of legisia- tion, Was It Dishonest? From the New York WORLD. We regret to find in the columns of our able contemporary, the Louisville Courier-Jour- nal,an asserfion that the Democratic party intended to secure a President by false pre- tenses in 1884. ‘‘Oivil-Service Reform,’’ it says, ‘*sounded well,“ everybody took , and the Democrats preached it because the Re. publicans were in office, and it meant that, as they had abused office, they should go out.“ If the Democrats meant that, why did they not say it? Why did they not nominate a typical spoilsman, instead of a man who owed whatever prominence he enjoyed chiefly to the tact that he was by profession, and measurably in practice, a Civil-Service Reformer? We took rather an active part in securing a Democratic vietory, but we never urged as a reason for making a change that it would insure a ‘‘clean sweep’’ in the offices. Nor do we remember that an intimation was made by any prominent Democratic journal ar speaker that the eampaign was for the spoils.

Judge Dilion remarked from the bench last evening that he had never heard of a case burdened with so many witnesses who seemed te know nothing to establish the averments of the petition. Depositions have been taken from time to time, but on the witness-stand the facts nar- rated before the notary were completely shattered, and one witness boldly declared that although she had made certain statements in the course of depositions she hed never signed it, and it was not true. Bev- eral witnesses failed te appear. There ig little doubt that some of the witnesses in this case will have to answer in auother cours for per- jury. MRS. ASHLEY was placed on the standin herown defense, and she described a number of vio- lent domestic scenes in which her husband figured as 8 Wie- beater, Her mother corroborated the story of . treatment, and declared that Ashley had haved very brutally on several ns. One day he was discovered kneeling on his body and beating her. 8 oe ere phate 4 Ashley, Timothy M ley eould put away > * oe of liquor himself, and another wit- ness declared that Ashley had one day taken him around the first-class ons where they drank twenty-five glasses ot whisky at25 centsadrink. Mrs. Miller who resides on Franklin avenue was brought into court under an attachment to relate the par- ticulars of a visit of Ed Cuthbert to her rooms when he brought acan of oysters along and desired her to send for Mrs. Ashley. A PASSAGE OF WORDS. Mr. Clarke, a brother-in-law ot A. A. Tal- mage was called to testify concerning certain visits which he paid to houses about town in the company of Ashley, who was at that time hunting up evidence againat his wife. Mr. Clarke stated that he objected to go to some acter, and 6 question „ Ledge, savoring of 8 aroused his threatening a scene in court, The witness told counsel that he could ae a him and he would gee him outside.

A petition for divorce was filed to-day in the Olreuit Court by Mrs. Mary B. Roman against August R. Roman.

By Telegraph to the Posr-Disrarcn. 5 New Yorn, May 7.—‘‘Hurrah for Home Rule!’’ America for ever!’’ God save Ireland!’’ were some of the expressions that escaped from the throats of thirteen stal- wart young fellows who were at one time con- nected with the Royal Irish constabulary, and who stood in a group last evéning on the deck ot the Adriatic as she came to her pier at They were on the police force in Ireland for from one to five years, and did all that royal English officials in Ire- land are expected to do during that time, even to taking part in evictions; but when this method was adopted on a wholesale line and it began to look like extermination, they re- belied, tifrew down their arms, resigne Degan shouting for the Land League before the sub-iyspector ln command was able to re- m his astonishment. They are all en, mostly the sons of farmers or rers, and are healthy and active- . They were stationed at Castle Island, er gartiess evictions that a landlord in that eighborhood urfdertook some weeks ago. “Encouraging resolutions were passed in rela- / tion to their action by several branches of the 4 National League in the south of Ireland, es- 9 cially by the Nenagh Branch, a portion of he organization in Tipperary, a neighboring eounty, until an official intimation came from Diblin Oastle threatening its officers with prosecution for abbetting what they called f*treason felony.’’ They are all vigorous and intelligent men and are anxious to work.

The strain of parting with fiends in Ire- land, and the thought of the work which they had engaged in before they resigned—arrest- ing priests, watching their movements, spying on prominent National Leaguers, and throwing out of their homes people who were already starving, and old women who ‘were lying on sick beds at the time—caused Patrick McDonough to lose his reason during te voyage, so hiscompanions say. He is now lying in a little bunk on board the Adriatic, raving about religion and the threatened co- ercion against Ireland.

The men say there were three English detectiveson board the vessel and they seemed afraid to speak as freely as they wished. „Me don’t feel that we're in America, yet, sir,“ said Michael Hickey, ‘‘so don’t blame us.

Fresco-painters don’t generally make much fuss about their business, butas certain par- ties are using efforts to create prejudices against fresco-painting by abuse, and prais- ing up their own interests, it becomes our duty to Btate that fresco-painting in St. Louis has been steadily improving in style as well as in durability, and when done with care and artistic skill willbe found very little more expensive than other extravagant (because perishable) ways of treating walls and ceil- ings; indeed, inthe end, will be found even less expensive than other methods. The proof of the above has been illustrated time and time again ina great many of our finest residénces in this city, where frescoing has gtood the test of scores of years and is still nice, having been frequently renewed by simply washing. The washing process is now again being illustrated in the Boatman’s Bank, corner Second and Pine streets, which was frescoed seven years ago by Mr. Aug. H. Becker, No. 623% Olive street, and where the walls and ceilings were then treated with canvas and paint, a process invented and patented by Mr. Aug. H. Becker and which is now generally indorsed by the best citizens of St. Louis as being the best and most durable way of treating the brittle surface of plastered walls and ceilings for fine fresco-painting in oll paint. We hope to continue improving our business, so as to rightfully deserve the liberal patronage of our customers. SWEPT THE PENINSULA. The Great Damage by the Recent Wind- storm in Michigan.

An Incident Which Surprised and Pained Queen Kapiolani—Delightful Features of the Excursion—The State Dinner at the White House—Magnificent Floral Deco- rations—The Guests—Preparations for the European Trip. By Telegraph to the Posr-Disraron. WasHINGTON, D. O., May 7.—The excursion to Mount Vernon yesterday in honor of Queen Kapiolani and her suite was participated in by about 100 persons selected by the Secretary of State, who himself was not in attendance. His duties as royal escort fell to Senator Sherman, Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, while Senator Evarts escorted the Princess. It was 10:15 o’clock when the zarriage containing the Queen, Princess, Gen. Dominis and Minister Carter entered the gate to the Navy Yard and was driven directly to the Despatch. A salute of twenty-one guns was fired. Oapt. Wallace, Commandant of the Navy Yard, with officers of his staff received the party as they stepped on board the Despatch, which floated the Hawaiian flag above our own. Lieut. Cowles, commanding her, placed the vessel at her Majesty’s disposal. This ceremony continued through the trip, her Majesty giving com- mand for lowering her flag as they approached the sacred enclosure. The home of Washing- ton never looked lovelier. The Despatch cast her anchor some distance from the wharf, and steam launches conveyed the party to the shore. The official circles represented were the State Depart- ment, Supreme Court and Court of Claims the two Houses of ee the Army an Navy andthe Dipiomatic Corps. The Queen and incess were devout and enthusiastic es. Upon the large glode used by Wash- ngton they looked in vain fortheir own coun- try. Its existence then was too vaguely known to appear on the map of nations. THE QUEEN SURPRISED. The Queen, surprised and pained to hear the party or outsiders who had joined them while in the chamber where Washington died, declined going to Mrs. Washington’s room unless she might go ‘‘with justafew friends; with no one who will make merry. This was the only biot on a day which she phage enjoyed to the utmost. She wore a black dress with a black leghorn turban, trimmed with velvet and plumes of black. One large orchid adorned her corsage. In conversation she expressed, through an interpreter, her abounding pleasure and sur- ise at the resources of our Government, and hat so greata people should do so much to make the representative of so small a nation happy. She said: supposed we should possibly call upon the President, and afterwards Minister and Mrs. Carter would drive with us a little about the city, but all this ntagnificent hospitality and courtesy from the Presidentand his dear wife, tothe very servants at our hotel; the kind words of the press and people; this visit to the — of the great Washington—all has overpowered me. „ DELIGHTFUL INCIDENTS. Just then the Marine Band on board the ship struck up the Hawaiian National Hymn, and the Queen and Princess, with the gentlemen of their party, instantly recognizing it, rose with faces full of emotion, the men removing their hats, in which the gentlemen present joined them. The naming of the new steam launch, in which she was conveyed to the shore, after herself, Kapiolani, was another delightful incident of the trip. Before landing at Washington the Queen sent for the officers of the boat and personally thanked them for the courtesies extended during the day. Sheand the Prin- cess expressed their purpose of pressing the flowers given them bythe superintendent of Mouut Vernon, as souvenirs. The state pacer adios. cy ag Kapiolani in the evening was memorabie in the annals of the White House for its brilliancy. By previous arrangement the Hawalian Minister came earliest bringing the Queen with Mrs. Carter. President and Mrs. Cleveland awaited them in the East parior, and they, with the Queen and Minister Carter, formed a reception group to await the greetings of each subsequent guest. Mrs. Cleveland wore her wedding-dress with an evening bodice. The Queen was attired in white satin stuff with goid embroidery, and the broad red sash of Hawaiia was draped about her waist. A jeweled tiara encircled her well-poised head. The were soon oined by Gen. Dominis and the Princess yal, his wife, who wore a superb train of black velvet. Both women have faces of marked intelligence. The Princess speaks English with slow and studied accuracy. The reception parlor was a bower of paims and flowers. It was 8 o’clock when the party went out to dine. The table was plain paraleliogram and had thirty-four covers. Its central adorn- ment was we composed of two Hawalian flags inclined toward each other, like the side of a roof. one side facing THE PRESIDENT AND THE QUEEN the other Mrs. Cleveland and the Hawallan Minister. The stripes were of blue and white forget-me-nots and red azaleas, with the British ?ack outlined in the upper left hand corner. From the ends of this roof curved banks of roses and tulips projected. A full-rigged floral ship lettered ‘‘Hawalia’’ and another, lettered ‘‘Columbia,’’ rested on the long mirror at either side of the center piece, and oval cushions of flowers adorned the ends of the tables. The corsage boquets were of pink (La France) roses, tied with broad heliotrope satin. There were bowls of strawberries, candied rose leaves and various confections and wine glasses at every plate but Mrs. Cleveland’s. he dinner cards bore the gilt eagle and the names or titles of the guests paired as follows: The President and Queen Kapiolani, who sat at his right, while at his left sat Princess Lilinokalani with the Ohief-Justice. At the Queen’s right was the Secretary of State with Mrs. Carter; the Secretary of War with Mrs. Whitney, the Lientenant-General with Miss Porter, daughter of the Admiral; Mr. 9 Bancroft with Mrs. Winthrop, Gov. C. P. Tankea with Miss Carter, Mrs. Sherman with the Postmaster-General, Mre. Waite with Gen. Dominis,who was Mrs.Cleveland’s neighbor at the lett. Beyond her, at Minister Carter’s right, sat Mrs. Fairchild with Minister Preston of Hayti, Mrs. Vilas with the Secretary of the Navy, Mrs. Lincklaen, mother of Mrs. Fair- child, with the Admiral of the Nayy; Robert C. Winthrop with Mrs. Laughlin, Gol. J. A. Boyd with Miss Bancroft, the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations (Mr. Sherman) with Mrs. Sheridan; the Secreta of the .Treasury with Mrs. Endicott, Chief- Justice Waite with the Princess Lilinokalani, the President’s left-hand neighbor. SWEET MUSIC. The Marine Band, inthe vestibule, played the Presidential Polonaise, composed by Prof. Suisa, as the opening march, and for the second number the Hawaiian National Hymn, followed immediately by the ‘‘StarS-pangied Banner. After the dinner the Marine Band serenaded the Queen at her hotel. SecretaryLamar was not present owing to ill- ness. In a note late in the afternoon, express- ing regret at his inability to attend, he said he had been using his best endeavors all day to recover his health sufficiently to be at the din- ner, but that his physician had positively for- bidden his going. Eaward H.

Ex-Senater Dorsey Talks About Its Mar- velous Growth and Progress. By Telegraph tothe Post-DiIsPATCH. New Tonk, May 7.—Ex-Senator 8. W. Dor- sey, who has just returned from a trip to Europe, ts spending the week at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, whence he will return to his home in the Southwest, Although he has been absent for some time, Mr. Dorsey has not lost sight of matters in this country and yesterday afternoon he talked freely with the corre- spondent of the Post-DISPATCH on the subject of the West’s growing importance and its in- dustries, mining, agriculture and railroads. The section of the country west of the Mis- sissippi river is growing at a marvelous rate,’’ said Dors To those who are not familiar with it, the story of its growth and 8 would read like a piece of fiction. ut, unlike fiction, this can be substantiated by facts. Uniess ane has been there it is hard to form any idea of its magnitude. I myself learned something new to-day about this country. I have always supposed that Lower California was sterile, but I was assured this morning by a gentleman who knows what he is talking about that Lower California is rich in natural resources, and that it is being colonized and developed. There is in some parts of the West and Southwest an activity which people are pleased to term a boom, but it is only a healthy growth. It will be permanent, and notevanescent, as ‘booms’ proper areapt to be. The growth of Kan- sas, for instance, has been phenomenal, and likewise the growth of some parte of Missouri around Kansas City, and particularly in the rich corn and wheat belt, and it is now a fact that more railroads are needed. There is already the business at hand, and the — — there actually need better transportation facilities. It is not necessary to build roads through unoccupied territory and bring the people to settle among the line, for the people are already there and in almost any part of this section a railroad properly managed would pay well. MORE RAILROADS NEEDED. don't know exactly what the track mile- age is in the tion to which I refer, but Ido know that it is less in prepoftion to the popu- lation than in any other part of our country. The great trunk lineg are pushing extensions all the time, but connecting roads are neces- sary for us and we intend to have them.“ How does this growth compare with that in the Southern States, about which so much has been said lately?’’ b ‘*Ilam familiar with the South, but from my knowledge of it I don’t believe that there can be any rapid wth in its ricuitural regions. There is pienty of exceedingly rich land there, but tne trouble is that it is gener- ally located in unhealthy sections, where it is impossible fora white man to live aud work the year round. In its manufacturing the South has taken a great stride forward, but I never expect to see it thoroughly developed agriculturally. In the Northwest one is nearly frozen to death during a large part of the ear, but in the center line of the West, and thence into the Great South- west, neither of those objections prevail. The corn and wheat belt through issouri and Kansas, where almost everything will grow, and the valuable mining regions ofthe South- west, particularly in Arizonaand New Mexico, are to-day rapidiy progressing, and are bound to become important factors in the future of this country. The climate is magnificent, the air is pure and bracing, and I know of no heaithier section anywhere in the world. few years What was but a ago a treeless and desolate plain is now teeming with populous towns and cities, and as soon as needed railroads are constructed the’ growth will be even more rapid than it has been in the past. The popu- lation of the region bounded on the east by the Mississippi, and on the north by an imaginary line drawn from, say St. Louis to the Pacific Coast, is already about 7,000,000, which I think isa remarkably good showing, considering tne short time within which most of this section has been settled and the some- what limited transportation facilities.’’ WATCH the bottie in ordering Phos-Ferrone for Addington’s name.

The Gate City Guard Involved in a Lively Row—Editor Atwood, an Honrary Mem- ber, Denounces Capt. Burke and the Company—A Street Encounter Between the Two Gentlemen—A Duel on the Tapis. By Telegraph to the PostT-DISPATCH. ATLANTA, Ga., May 7.—The Gate City Guard, which is soon to make a tour of Europe, opened the campaign yesterday in a decidedly sensational manners The company is oom posed ofthe best young menofthe city and will be remembered in the North for the ova- tion which it recevied, some years ago during a trip through the New England cities. Capt: J. F. Burke, who was then in command, con- ceived the idea of making a similar trip through Europe. It was not until about six months ago, however, that he got matters in such a shape that he could announce such schemes as being possible. Since that time the company has achieved much notoriety by the refusal of the English Government, unofficially given, to permit the company to march in uniform through the United King- dom. With the trip in view the company placed upon its honory roll the names of many well-known gentlemen of Atlanta for the purpose of enlisting their support. The one who took most pride in his honory membership was Charles 8. Atwood, the proprietof Of the Daily Evening Capital, and it was this Very pride which pre- cipitated the difficulty tape Atwood was made furious, recently, by the discovery that Capt. Burke had given the first official announcement of the proposed trip to the ublic, through the Constitu- tion, which he claimed that Burke had promised to let him have first. He then at- tacked Burke and the a through his columns, in consequence of which he received notice from Secretary Wilson several days agoto surrender his certificate of honorary membership. In reply to this request he printed a column-and-a-haif editorial. IN THIS ARTICLE ATWOOD SAID: „The Capital is in possession of many facts about the proposed trip, that would hurt, if published, such men as have put in nearly all their money for the trip, and can not get their money back; and knowing that Capt. Burke will make thousands of dollars out of the trip, we have not been as enthusiastic as we might have been. The article then went on to say that Capt. Burke had the reputation of going back on his friends, had declined to fight when challenged and was called a coward. „We might go back to the time when your name was hissed by the entire membership of the Guard.’’ This publication aroused the ire of the com- — Some were in favor of a visit to the apital office, with hostile intent. At a meet- ing held Thursday night a reply to Atwood was drafted, in which the statements of that gentleman were branded as miserable and malicious falsehoods.’’ Mr. Atwood isfurther referred to as a ‘‘man of low character.’’ BURKE’S CARD. Capt. Burke furnished for publication with this action the following card: ‘* Yesterday evening I was shown a copy of the Evening Oapital, a paper published in this city. In this paper was an article written by O. S. A.’ This article by insinuafion and in- direction, referred to me and my connection with the Gate City Guard ina manner refiect- ing on my character. [am informed that for several months this person has used the paper for contemptuous flings at me and the Guard and as the insinuations in the ar- ticle referred to are maliciously false, I de- nounce the author as a poltroon and a liar, a festering sore on the body politic, a disgrace to journalism and a creature whom truth would shame and falsehood embellish. Ask- ing pardon of the readers of the Constitution for intruding this person upon them, I am re- spectfully, J. F. BURKE.’’ A STREET ENCOUNTER. ° Shortly after noon yesterday Mr. Atwood started out armed with a rawhide, with blood in his éye, intent upon taking revenge. On Peachtree street, near the corner of Walton, Mr. Atwood caught sight of his victim crossing the street and started after him. What trans- spired a bystander describes as follows: Mr. Atwood overtook the captain before he reached the foot of the steirway leading to his office, and struck him lightly with his hand onthe back, at the same time saying something to the effect that he had business with him. Capt. Burke turned quickly, and after a few brief words, Atwood at- to draw the rawhide, concealed under his Capt. Burke struck him and grappled each other and both fell, Capt. urke ontop. Atwood being the heavier of the two, turned his antagonist over, put be- fore there were any serious results friepds in- terfered and with tne aid of a police the combatants were separated. The affair has created a great deal of public commeat.and excitement, and what the sequel will by it is im ible to say. Public sympath eo ee the side of Capt. Burke.

A Serious Difficulty With Navajo Indians at Defiance, N. M. GALLUP, N.M., May 7.—Serious difficulty with Navajo Indians occurred about 8 o’clock yes- terday morning at Defiance station, seven miles west of here. A dispute arose in a store of the village between E. I. Allen, the clerk, and a Navajo Indian, and the latter sprang over the counter to grasp a pistol. At the sume moment Alien drew his pistol and shot the Indian dead. Mr. Bor- land, owner ofthe store, and wife, who were in the room above the store at the time, came down and seeing what had happened, started for Gallup at once on horseback, but had not one far when they were surrounded bv In- ians armed with rifles and pistols, who accused Borland of killin the Indian, and threatened to kill him and his wife on the spot. The Indians were wild and furious with — — * — Borland succeeded in quieting them by giving up his weapons, say- ing he had nothing to do with the killing, At came to trade with the Navajos. Finally he and his wife were permitted to continue their journey to Gallup. In the meantime Allen and an old man named Hans barricaded the upper story store to defend themselves from attack. The Indians broke into the store and rifled it of everything valuable. An hour after the shooting, a freight train on the Atlantic & Pacific road passed, and Hans and Allen ran for it under a heavy fire from the Indians. Allen made the train and came to Gallup. Hans missed the train, but also reached Gallup. A detachment of cavalry from Fort Wingate has gone to Defiance, which will have a wholesome effect on the In- — and probably prevent further blood shed.

The True Inwardness of the Recent Visit of Prominent Rennblican Leaders to the South—A Flank Movement on the Demo- erats to Be Engineered by Blaine—‘‘New York May Go to the Winds.“ By Telegraph to the PosT-DIsPATca. ATLANTA, Ga., May 1.-—For. some time strange rumors haye beenicurrent in Political centers in the South, of movement which would give an entirely new phase to the pres- ent party alignments. Prominent Republican leaders have been visiting each other and making trips to the North, where they met meh still higher in party leadership. Several months ago one ot the best known Republican leaders of this section made an alleged Western trip. Five days later a letter was received by a friend, dated Augusta, Me., which indicated that the politician had changed his course. The party who received the letter inadvertently allowed it to be seen. Said he: It would not do for our scheme to be known yet, but we intend to throw the Democrats dy a move- ment which will leave them breathless. Jim Blaine is the man who has the dash to make it successful if we get itinto shape. New York may go to the winds, for we will carry the general election in spite of her.’’ ‘*WAIT AND YOU WILL SEE.’’ In vain was he pressed for further lana- tions.

LREADY St. Louis en- joys the distinction of having sent aloft a balloon which made the most remarkable aerial voyage on rec- ord. It was salied from this city to Jef- ferson County, New Tork, a distance of „ 1,200 miles. Next month the Post-Dis- PATCH and the WORLD Will send up a balioon from this city, when the airsnip will make a voyage of 1,500 miles. It is now in the course of construction at Winsted, Conn., : under the direc- | . tion of Mr. Alfred 152 E. Moore, who has achieved wide “reputation as a scientifiC aéero- naut. The bag and netting have been manufactured to carry 160,- 000 cubic feet of gas and to have a lifting power of over 6,000 pounds. The bag will be made of white muslin specially manufactured for the purpose, and will be covered with a coating of varnish made according to a recipe only known to.the aeronaut. The car has already been constructed and submitted to tests of strength. It is 6x4 feet at the top, 4 feet deep, with sleping sides decorated with the names of the PosT-DISPATCH and the WORLD. The inflated balloon will stand 100 feet high, with a transverse diameter of 75 feet. Theaeronaut will carry a thermometer to indicate the ap- proach of clouds by its fall, a barometer to measure heights, and a compass to show direction. Provisions for five for one week will also be taken.# The Signal Service repre- sentative who will accompany the aerial expedition will take a number of scientific in- struments for the purpose of taking observa- tions for ascientific log which will be pub- lished after the landing of the big bulb. Mr. John G. Doughty, the photographer of the ex- pedition, will be furnished with a photo- taking views of the upper air scenes. baggage ofthe representatives of the PostT-DISPATCH and WORLD has been included in the Imention ofthe larder. They will carry no other freight except possible some four-leafciovers anda horseshoe forluck. The start will be made ; — 2. — at about 9 o’clock in the morning from one of the base ball parks or the Fair Grounds. The ascension round has not yet been en 4 ecided the choice will @ affected on, as by the facilities offered for making the neces- sary; connections for inflating the monster balloon. During the trip closest attention wil! be paid to air currents and atmospheric phenomena as it is intended to gather valu- able scientific data during the trip as well as to secure views and descriptions of the re- gions above. The director of the proposed voyage in the air intends that this trip shall throw a flood of light on the science of navigating this element. Conside thatthe ‘‘conquest of the skies,’’ as the balloonists:term their undertakings, was begun 400 years before the Christian era it seems that the work of perfecting plans for Safe aerial travel has been slow. About that time Archytas,a geometrician of the Pythagor- fau school, who as the patron of balloonists invented a 222 the exact plan of which is not now known as it apparently escaped the scrutiny of the investigating —5 ofthe day, only one of whom reports on the artificial bird. He remarks that it it fell to the ground it could not raise itself up n. The next historical reference to the subject is of aman, who flew high in air at Rome in nero’s reign. Like the mention of many other subsequent ascents this account conciudes by telling how the flying man fell one day and was killed, without having trans- mitted the theory or plang of the con- trivance which Darius Green attempted to copy more recently, but with about the same success. In the history of ballooning a long interval of inactivity is marked between these early attempts to master the airy element and the more scientific undertakings of later times. Writers on the subject state that the true principles of aerostatſon were first laid down by Roger Bacon. The next most posi- tive mention of an attempt to master the elements is the ay John Muller’s remberg. Elme- eagle at fis also credited artificial sh monk, rus, a Span with 3 suc- cessful experi- ments.

M. Pilatre de Rozier made an ascent at Paris. He was the first balloonist who went up. In his car he car- ried a fire to increase his supply of hot air by raising it to the mouth of the balloon. In the following year Dr. Rittenhouse and Mr. Hopkinson of Philadoclphia con- structed four small balloon which were filled with hydrogen gas and with which a short ascent was made. About this time the parachute ,a word which means a guard against falling, was invented. By means of this the adventurer can desert his baloon and descend to terra firma in safety. Numerous successful ascents were made in France, England and Italy within a few years after De Rozier’s tirst adventure, though that unfortunate aeronaut fell a distance of 3,000 feet from his bursted balloon a few years later and was founda shapeless mass on the coast of France. In 1886 Charles Green, Robert Holland and Mouck Mason made a voyage from Vauxhall, London, to Weilburg, Germany. Prior to this Mr. Green had made 226 ascents in England. They left London at 1:30 p. m., November 7, and arrived at Weilberg the following morn- ing shortly after sunrise. A few years later Green made a voyage over the German Ocean. On July 29. 1837, Aeronaut, Cocking, arranged to ascend with Gye to a height of 8,000. feet, when he would leave the balloon in a bas- ket and parachute, and descend to earth. Gye was unable to go above 5,000 feet, and from this height Cock. ing cut loose. The parachute inverted, “eq through the weakness Pot a tin rib-ring, and Cocking was dashed to death near Lee, a short distance from London. Gye attained a height of 23,384 feet and landed safely near Malling, twenty- eight miles from Lon- don, one hour after Lana’s Balloon. Starting. About 1860 James Glaisher, F. R. S., made a great many daring ascents. On September 5, 1862, he ascended with Wm. Coxwell toa height of seven miles starting from Wolver- hampton, England. He became unconscious and remained in that condition for seven minutes. He was finally revived by Mr. Cox- well, who a moment later lost the use of his hands, but on descending to a lower point both recovered completely. Aside from scientific and adventurous undertakings the most important em- loyment of the dalloon was dur- ng the Orimean war and also the siege of Paris. For four months the balloon afforded the only means of departure from the beleagured city. On October 7, 1870, Gambetta and his secretary escaped to Epineuse by this means. The Post-office department availed itself of the route and the important mail was carried by aeronauts. On his arrival the mail agent had photographed the important news and this was carried back by pigeons to Paris where it wasenlargedandrepublished. Sixty- three important ascents with persons and documents were made during the seige. The first voyage made from the United States was made by M. Blanchard from Philadelphia in 1783. Gen. Washington was a spectator at the ascension. Within the last century thou - sands of ascensions have been made in this country. The voyage of the PosT-DISPATCH and WORLD balloon next month promises to excel in every feature the most successful of these aerial trips. A Mr. Durant of New York City was the first American who made any considerable number of voyages. In 1835 ballooning gained a daring disciple when John Wise made his first ascent from Philadelphia in a balloon bullt on an — economical scale. The whole contrivance weighed only 186 pounds. It was twenty-eight feet in diameter and had an ascenson 33 of 575 pounds. After this a considerable number of experimentalists engaged in are eer pias and the -propor- tion of accidents ecame accordingly large. Prof. Wise made successful as- eensions, from a number of oints in the East using muslin balloons, to which he applied a coating of varnish to prevent the es- cape of the gas. During an ascent from Lan- caster, Pa., Mr. Wise was caught in a gale and dashed against the eaves of a house, which cut the cords sustaining the aeronaut’s basket and spilled him out unconscicus on the root. The balioon escaped, and the aeronaut was rescued from his lofty landing-place stunned, but not seriously hurt. In 1840 Messrs. Wise and Paulin from Philadel- n phia, each in his own balloon. They met in mid air and were suf- ficiently close to carry on a con- f versation until - alee Mr. Paulin’s bal- /7>—ARANa Ae loon was sudden- ed struck by a ascended > + » * on * renn e — Delaware, al- though it did not affect Mr. Wise’s conveyance at In 1848 John Wise petitioned 2 — an appropriatio to 4 ort: a bal- loon _ the — b 80 crossin tse Atlantic Satellites.

Fortunately the torn globe formed itself into a sort of parachute, which lurched from place to place in its fall and finally reached the ground without any serious injury to the lady aero- naut. Ira Thurston of Adrian, Mich., had a ter- rible experience, which ended in the loss of his life, While disinflating a balloon in which he had made ashort ascent earlier in the day, September 16, 1858, he ordered the carto be detached as he sat on the valve disc. No sooner was the balloon thus lightened than it shot up inte the air with the terrified aeronaut clinging to the silk near the valve on which he had deen sitting. His dismayed assistants saw the runaway ascend to a height of three miles, with Thurs- ton clinging to it. It passed out of sight after two hours, but was found a few days later. The vaive had been torn off from the silk by Thurston’s weight. On the 6th of the follow- ing month his Rody was found near Sylvania, Mich., ten miles from Adrian. It had evi- dently fallen from a great height, as it was almost buried in the ground, The largest aerial trip on record, and the one which the POST - DISPATCH and WORLD aero- nauts proposes to beat, was made from this city July Mm 1, 1859. The voy- e was made in » wyethne Atlantic, a —~ spheroid balloon fifty feet in diam- eter transversely and sixty feet high. Besides the basket a smal! boat capable of carrving 1,000 pounds was sus- pended from the netting. At 6 p. m. O. A. Gager, John Lamoun- taine and Post- we eX * master William 0 2 Hyde, who was * then areporter on 7 the Missouri Re- Miss Bradley s Accident. publican, took their places in the canvas- covered boat. Mr. John Wise, the directing, aeronaut took his position in the basket above. Mr. Brooks made an ascent atthe same time in a smaller balloon, and acted as pilot to the larger craft. He, however, alighted in Illinois, while the voyagers continued onward on their un- rivaled voyage. Describing the trip one of the voyagers subsequently wrote as follows, giv- ing a good idea of the sensations on an aerial trip We gazed upon the fading outlines of vearn- the country with sentimental ings. The fruitful fields of IIIinois were now passing rapidly underneath us, seemingly bound for a more western empire, while we were hanging apparently, listlessiy and passivelyin ethereal space. The farm houses seemed to be traveling at the rate of fifty miles an hour, with an occasional gyration about our common center as the turn- ing round of the air-ship would make it ap- pear. The feeble shimmer of the new moon was now mantling the earth beneath ina mel- low light, and the Western horizon was painted witb gold and purple. Nothing could exceed the solemn grandeur of the scene. All was as quiet and still as death. Not a word was passing from the lips of the crew. Every one seemed to be impressed with the profound silence that hung around us. It seemed as if all nature had gone to sleep with the setting of the moon, andthe stars were coming out on the watch-towers of the night. In another moment the stillness was broken. Cattle began to low, and some loud-mouthed dogs greeted our ears with an occa- sional bark. We also amused . our- selves by uttering an occasional shout which set the dogs below barking far and near. During the day, while the balloon was inflating, the sun was pouring down upon ita flood of light and heat, and during the whole night it wus illuminated with a brightness equal toa Chinese paper lantern, enabling us to note the time by our, watches. The first impression made was thlt it might be incipient combus- tion, and thatsoon it might be our lot to pass into eternity like a blazing meteor. The con- clusion finally arrived at waa that it must be a combination of heat, light and Car- buretted hydrogen, and not ‘ikely to cet hotter in the upper air.

On the 30th of the same month, Mr. Wise ascended from this city 5 this time in company with his son, Chas.

Early in the late unpleasantness the balloon was brought into use at the national capital under the di- rection of Mr. John Wise. In Gen. Fitz John Porter made an ascent in a cuptive balloon, which broke away. After inspecting the enemy intrenchments, Gen. Porter opened the valve and de- ecended rapidly, but safely. On July 29, 1871, Mr. Wise as- cended from Chambersburg, / Pa., accompanied by August? Reineman, but only made aN short trip. A few years later he was brought to this city on an arrangement with the Mab- ley clothing ‘house, andagreed to make an ascent, in which he was accompanied Mr. Burr, anephew of the esident of = St. Louis Nationa) Bank. n weather and the balloon was lost in Lake Michigan. No trace of Prof. Wise was ever found, but some time after the An Close Netting. the voyage they encountered stormy ascent Mr. Burr’s body was washed ashore. The scale of preparations for the ascent of the Post-DIsPATCH and WORLD balloon was never equaled but once. In 1878a balloon was constructed in New York for the purpose of makinga transatlantic trip. When complete it stood 160 feet high, but it was found that grave mis- takes had been made in the building of the balloon, and the trip was accordingly aban- doned. By the lessons ofthis and thousands of other aerial undertakings the plans of the POST-DISPATCH balloon have been corrected and perfected and every precaution has been taken to make the voyage safe to the daring adventurers, valuable to science and interest- ing to the readers of the Post- DISPATCH and ORLD. Rupture Cured. CLINTON, Clinton County, Io., March 26, 1886. About nine years ago I was attacked with a severe cutting pain in my left side. I screamed at times with agony. No remedies availed un- til I placed an ALLCOCK’S PLASTER over the seat of pain. I wore the plaster ten days, the pain decreasing every day until I was cured. My daughter was ruptured just above the navel when only 3 months old. She suffered little until she began to walk. The treatment of physicians appeared only to aggravate her case. I procured an ALLCOCK’S Porows PLAS- TER and cut it in three pieces. One I applied over the rupture. It acted perfectly. At the end of ten days I washed the place with a lit- tle alcohol end put ona fresh piece. Iused afterwards two more pieges, and after forty days the child was entirely well. I have never found any Plasters equal to ALLcock's. R. W. MEAD. MUNICIPAL ASSEMBLY. Two of the Slate Nominations Confirmed by the Council. When the Council met last night a remon- strance against the confirmation of Capt. Wm. McClellan for the office of Boiler Inspector was presented by the licensed engineers who attended the Druid’s Hall meeting. Mr. Cole presented a bill authorizing the extension of the Lindell railway tracks along Delmar av- enue to Taylor avenue, thence north to Fin- ney, thence east to Vandeventer avenue. Mr. Nelson introduced a pi to authorize the Recorder of Deeds to employ clerks and renew the indices of his office. Mr. Bell from the Committee on Ways and Means reported the name of Jos. Temple for confirmation for the office of Assessor and Collector of Water Rates. Mr. Temple was confirmed by a vote of 7to 4,the Republican members voting in the negative. Chairman Frank of the Committee on Police reported the names of Messrs, Callahan, Butler, Cady, White, Meagan and McEnnis, buton moticn of Mr. Bell consideration of the names was post- poned until next Tuesday. The nominatior®of Capt. John Lindsay for Chief of the Firemen was confirmed unanimously. The bill to in- crease the salary of the Superintendant of the Poor-house was lost, while the bill to increase the salary ofthe Superintendent of Fire Alarm Telegraph was passed. The former will be reconsidered at the next meeting. The bill establishing taxation rates was iald over and the Council adjourned. THE HOUSE. A resolution to petition Congress to give the city thirty feet of the south and the north side of Arsenal tract to increase the width of streets, caused a long discussion in the House of Delegates last * It was finally adopted. After some drinking fountain bills were considered the House adjourned. The Merchants’ Terminal. The meeting of the Railroad Committee of the House of Delegates yesterday afternoon was well attended. Mr. John D. Johnson rep- resented protesters against the Merchants’ Terminal bill. Manager Smitb of the Transfer Company presented some objections to the bill. President Ridgeley and Manager Smith were then questioned by members of the committee. They explained that the Transfer „ had built about 15 per cent of its road, and that it wanted the busi- ness of the new bridge. Delegate Hays asked ifthe Transfer Company would pledge itself not to interfere with any company that might be given the right-of-way on Hall street. The gentlemen said they could not give any such pledge at present. After hearing other ob- ections the committee adjourned until next fuesday. * Moth Spots and Freckles. Can it be remoyed?

When the fire occurred, the President and Board of Directors wisely determined to keep the doors open 80 as to cause as little inconvenlence as possible to the members. The midday luneh has deen served daily as usual on one of the lower floors and as each department passed from the hands of the painter, paper hanger and upholsterer it was placed at the disposal of the mem again. In that way there was no decline of the daily attendance and with the house im- proved and refitted upon every floor it now presents a bright, handsome appearance calling for the warm appreciation of every habitue of the club. The reopening will be marked by a reception before the close of the month. On Monday evening the Jengrege- tional Club will have a euthering and collation at the Mercantile. Covers will be laid for 120, and it will be quite an interesting occasion. THE MARQUETTE. The Marquette Club location is not yet de- termined, but the purchasing committee may be in a position to report before the members scatter forthe summer. It is a matter of some difficulty to select a mansion in a desirable lo- cality adapted in every way to the require- ments ofa modernclub. It a house cannot be obtained soon the committee may ask for au- thority to build. THE UNIVERSITY. The University Club grounds now appear in all the beauty of the season. There is a steady attendance in the tennis courts daily, and on Saturday afternoon ladies are invited. The directors are well pleased with the suc- cess of the grill, which is appreciated by all the members, who manifest their interest in the club by frequent attendance, NOTES. The Germania Club may move its quarters to a more desirable locality in the near future. A summer programme of amusements, gather - ings afloatand lawn parties, musicales, etc., will shortly be arranged. No club in the city displays such enterprise in that regard as the Germania. Bowling continues to be the popular amuse- ment at the St. Louis Club. The daily attend- ance is increasing and the qualties of the cuisine are appreciated by those members who prefer to entertain their visiting friends at the club. g The Saturday evening a ee | at the Liederkranz are pleasant alfairs, and there is always a good attendance of the members. The Harmonie Dramatic Club will give an entertainment this evening. There will be a large and fashionable attendance. MAD AS A HORNET, And the Woods Are Full of Them.

A plain statement ot facts which are indis- putable will show the advantages of Memphis. Her situation on the high bluffs of the great Mississippi, which is the finest navigable stream in the world, and her connection with all parts of the country North, South, East and West by nine railroads, mark her as the trade center ofthe Mississippi Valley. The great cotton-producing counties of Arkansas, Mis- sissippi, Texas, Tennessee and Alabama are tributary to Memphis. The three largest cot- ton-producing counties inthe United States are Washington County, Mississippi, 54,000 bales; Yazoo Ogunty, Mississippi, 48,000 bales, and Shelby County, Tennessee, 46,000 bales. Many of the counties in Arkansas, Mississippi and Tennessee nected with it by rail and river, produce from 20,000 to 40,000 bales of cotton per annum. The nearness of these counties to Memphis, including Washington and Yazoo Counties in Mississippi, and their close connection with her, make this city the natural market for all this cotton. It may be stated with truth that a large portion of the cotton grown in the United States is grown within 200 miles of Memphis. When it is remembered that cotton commands a better price at Memphis than at any other point in the Mississippi Valley it is not astonishing that the cotton receipts at Memphis are yearly res ge and, we may safely say, will continue to increase. There will be more cotton grown in the Mississippi, Yazoo, White and Arkansas River bottoms in a few years than is now grown in the whole United States. The greater portion, if not the whole, of this will find its market at Memphis. A large portion of the cotton grown in the Black Beit of Mississippi and Alabama will also come to Memphis when the direct railroad to Selmaand Montgomery is complete. Wherever the cotton is sold dry goods, groceries, hardware, live stock, plantation supplies and other things will be purchased. his will make Memphis the reat „. center for the most pro- duotive portion ot the United States. As these Southern States increase in wealth and popu- lation because of the development of their in- exhaustible mincral resources, Memphis will reap the benefits commercially and as the de- potof supplies. The country immediately around Memphis is much more productive than many sup e. The very county in which Memphis is situated, Shelby, isthe third cot- ton countyin the United States. She pro- duces 220 pounds lint cotton to the acre on an average, while the general a e in the United States is only 167 pounds; not only this, 006 head, while ¥ This is no small inducement. Iron can be made at the Alabama furnaces, within 150 miles of Memphis, at $6 per ton cheaper than in Pennsylvania. Coal and coke can be obtained here as cheap as in Philadelphia, where had, in 1880, $187,000,000 Invested in manuf a ready market. This is the natural dis- ‘tributing center for all manufactures of ev kind, whether they be made or Pittsburg. The saving on the transporta- tion of these articles will be immense. This is no small consideration, and must exercise at influence in determining the proper place or the erection of manufucturing establish- ments. To show the necessity, importance and value of manufacturing, let a few facts be submitted. In our own State the county which has the — — assessed values ot property and the highest- priced land has twice as much capital invested in manufacturing as any other county. The value of prope in each county de- pends very much upon the Capital invested in manufacturing. As an example, Obion County has $644,342 invested in manufacturing and her lands are valued at $8.50 per acre, while Fay- ette County, which produce annually $2,500,- 000 of farm products, has onlv $84,000 invested in man ing and her lands are assessed at $4.59 per acre. Memphis mustand will bea great commer- cial city under any and all circumstances, but she needs a development of her great manu- facturing capacity to make her the city which her surroundings: and advantages should se- cure for her. It is for our citizens to deter- mine what inducements can be offered to cause capitalists to engage in this businessin or near our city.

St. Louis the Largest Turner District in the Country—StAff of District and General Officers—The Growth of the Organization . Lecally—Turner Sports and How Their Tournaments Are Conducted—The Win- ners at the Last Annual Competition Sketches of Local Members. A long ago as the year 1809 Frederich Lud wig Jahn delivered a lecture at Hasenheide, near Berlin, in Germany. Among other mat - ters hé advanced the idea that physical culture should be looked upon as one of the most im- portant features in the education of mankind, and that a recognition of the force of this doo- trine would redound in great measure to man’s success in life. When Jahn said this he did not probably imagine that to-day the practical effect of his idea would be felt in every city and town in the United States, and that his followers would be numbered by the hundreds of thou- sands in North America, Germany, France, Austria and Italy. Indeed branches ; of the great Turner organization are to be found the world over wherever ath- letics claim any share of attention whatever. The Turners of to-day are rare examples of what systematized physical culture can do for men. It goes without saying that they are an army of Dr. Max H. Starklof. the broad - backed, muscular and brawny type of man to be du- plicated nowhere. At the same time it is not merely physical culture that claims the largest part of their spare moments, they also indorse the training of the mind, and as a body com- bine physical stréngth with a mental educa- tion rarely found as its — concomitant.

For in- stance, of the twelve athletic events (Volks- turnarten), four are selected to go with the gymopastic turning, and these must be partici- pated in by the contestant for the general av- erage, while with the remaining eight of the following twelve events, it is a matter of choice with him: Running, 220 yards now 125 yards), high jump, broad jump, op,step and jump, pole vaulting, rope climb- ing, club swinging, fencing, foil, rapier and bayonet, swimming, wrestiing, Turner style, lance throwing, rifle shooting. In the athietic events points count from one to ten upward, and over when not contested for in the gen- eral average. The gymnastic turning is per- formed on four apparatus as follows: Horizon- tal bar, parallel bars, side horse and long horse. In the prize competition each contestant has to perform on each ofthe four apparatus two exercises, as shown and explained to him by one of the judges, and one to suit himself; this latter exercise is usually very closely judged, as it is taken to bea pet exercise of the contestant. If these twelve exercises are perfectly pores (this has never been at- tained to the knowledge of the writer) it will be seen that there are sixty points to his credit; to this will be added the average of the obligatory four athletic events selected from the twelve above named. The contestant would thus, in order to complete the best average obtainable (100 points), having secured 60 in the gymnas- tic turning, if pole-vaulting, rope-climbing, high jumpand broad jump for instance be selected, have to attain 9 feet in the pole- vault, 38 feet in climbing, 60 inches in the high jump and 18 feetin the broad jump. While 60 points in the gymnastic turning are very rarely attained, 40 points in the athietic events are frequently so, and the committee on practical turning have found it ad- visable, therefore, to give separate prizes for the best averages in these athietic events; thus a good, all-around turner may get two prizes—one for general average in gymnastic and athletic combined, and one for the best average in the athletic events at- tached to the gymnastic turning. The follow- ing list of ‘‘prize-winners’’ at Belleville, III., September last, shows this in the cases of R. Schramm, John C. Meyers, Julius Saettelle and H. Rudolph.

In these they are generally able to ac- quit themselves with honor, and the athlete is beginning to be feared as well as re- spected in the athletic —— throughout the country. Among the prominent active Turne in St. Louis may be mentioned: J. Toensfeldt, Wm. Medart, Louis Eilers, John O. Meyers, R. Schramm, Arthur Bosch, M. Kruer, Louis Kautman, Louis Roth and Paul Weiss.

Frankie Kemble, in a play which was not re- markable for originality or cleverness, drew good houses, while the variety company at the Standard, with Marinelli at the head of it, deserved better business than it did. Marinelli himselfis a wonderful contortionist, accom- plishing feats that unless they were done be- fore one’s eyes would be thought impossible. His back-bone is made of rubber and he twirls and turns it as he pleases. Nearly all the other features of the bill were clever. Next week the Olympic and Grand will re- open for one engagement each. AT THE GRAND will be Jeffreys-Lewis, who is already favor - ably known to the theater-goers from an en- gagement last season, which was an artistic success in every way. She then appeared in ‘*Forget-Me-Not’’ and in the sublety of her ex- pression the warmth of her delineation of pas- sion,the power and intensity of her emotional scenes fixed a standard inthis line of acting which is difficult to surpass. With her art she combines a mobile, handsome face, fine eyes, and attractive person. For this engagement she will appear in Sardou's ‘‘Ciothilde,’’ in which she takes the partof awomanof good impulses at first, who saves a young girl from a life of shame, and afterwards, when her own fiance falls in love with her protege, in revenge reveals the girl’s past to him. It is said to be a powerful role, admirably handled by tue actress. The first performance will be given to-morrow evening. AT THE OLYMPIC Prof. Oscar R. Gleason will commence an en- gagement on Monday, May9, giving an exhi- bition of the taming and subduing of wild and vicious horses that promises to be one of the most unique affairs ever witnessed in this city. Prof. Gleason has been giving these exhibi- tions in all the large cities of the country, and with remarkable success. The catching and taming of a wild horse is always an interesting spectacle, but when one after another, all of different dispositions and vices, are brought on, until five or six horses, all of them unruly, most of them vicious, and within the time of an evening's entertainment, are converted into gentle harness and saddle animals, the sight is one of unusual interest. It is such an exhibition as this that Prof. Gleason prom- ises. His methods of training the vicious horse has earned for him a national reputa- tion, as the horse’s most evil vices aré con- quered by him in a short space of time by the assistance of his superior system, doing away with all cruel bits, curbs, chains, etc. If reports of what Prof. Gleason has done elsewhere areto be trusted, his exhibitions are worth seeing. THE PEOPLE’S THEATER will be occupied by Miss Louise Pomeroy, once the wife of the noted ‘‘Brick’’ Pomeroy, who makes her appearance for the first time in St. Louis, but who has been on the stage fora number of years. Miss Pomeroy made her debut in New Yorkin 1876, soon afterwards appearing in Boston and elsewhere. She then went to Australia and remained abroad for five years and is credited with success on the stage. She is now under the management of Mr. Chas. W. Roberts and will play an en- agement of two weeks atthe People’s open- ng to-morrow evening. She will present a repertoire of plays including Romeo and Juliet, Camille, ‘‘Hamlet’’ and ‘‘Kath- leen Mavourneen,’’ and will be supported by a selected company. AT THE STANDARD farce- comedy willrule in ‘‘Collars and Cuffs, a play which the management claims is con- structed only foramusement. It will be pre- sented by Chas. Gilday’s Comedy Company, of which Chas. Gilday and Miss Fannie Beane will be the bright particular stars. Mr. Gil- day’s comedy work and Miss Beane’s dancing are spoken of as especially clever and enter- taining. The first performance will be given to-morrow evening. THE PALACE MUSEUM will have a new list of attractions, which wiil include Mme. Hattie Garry and her den of per- forming crocodiles numbering'twenty reptiles; the Fiji Cannibals and the Megararian Specialty and Comedy Company containing twenty-one people. Final Musical Union Concert. The final concert of the Musical Union for this season will be given Thursday next, May 12. The majority of the subscribers have asked for the performance of the following pieces, which have been given during the season, carrying out the usual custom which has existed heretofore of making the last a request concert: Beethoven's Seventh Symphony, ‘‘Vorspiel;’’ ‘‘Henry the Lion, Koetschmer; Grieg’s Idyll for strings, and the Schatz Wualtz, Strauss. Mrs. Corinne Moore Lawson, soprano from Cincinnati, will sing ‘‘Grand Aria from Faust,’’ by Spohr; Proch’s air and variations, and To Sevilla, by Dessaur. This lady has a pure and brilliant voice and is spoken of as the leading soprano of Cincinnati, where she is in great demand for all concerts, and always creates enthusiasm wherever she appears. Mile. Sofia Geraldon will playaharp solo, with orchestral accompaniment, ‘‘ Air Russe, by Chris Oberthuer. The managers desire, if possible, to limit the concert to two hours, and request that noencores be demanded by the audience. The concert will begin promtly, at 8 o’clock. „The Battle of Chattanooga.” The new picture, the ‘‘Battle of Chata- noogo’’ which has been put in the Cyclorama building, Thirteenth and Washington avenue was opened to-day and was visited by many persons who were enthusiastic in theiradmira- tion of the painting. It isa splendid repre- sentation of the great battle which is well worth seeing. TheG. A. R. fund shares in the receipts of to-day and this evening. — 2 ͤH— HANDY WITH A GUN.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa., May 7.—A party of ladies and gentlemen went to Andalusia this afternoon foran afternoon’s sport at pigeon- shooting. The guests were Osmond Tearie and his wife, formerly Miss Minnie Conway, and the participants in the match were Miss Rose Coghian and Messrs. Patterson and Rob- ertson oftheclub. The match was shot under the 5 1 rules, five traps, and the birds were all good strong ones. After haif an hour’s practice the match was begun. Mr. Patterson shot part of the time with 80 yards rise and art with 27, the same asthe others. Only 10 irds each were shot at, and the result was a tle, which was not shot off on account of darkness. Following is the score: N yards eee Mr. Patterson, 27 and 80 yards... ess. 7 Mr. Robertson, 27 yards 7 Miss Coghlan was delighted with her score, which breaks the ladies’ amateur record, and Very it was her first attempt at pigeon-shooti She is, however, a very clever rifle and pisto shot, which accounts for her prowess. The party returned to the city in ample time for the evening performance, but the lady is not aptto embrace very earnestly on the stage fora day or two on account of a er sore sh der, caused by kicking guns.

Lonpow, May 7.— Thursday afternoon Buffalo Bill and his troupe gave a private performance for the Prince of Wales, his family and friends. They were exceedingly delighted and compli- mentary. At the conclusion of the perform- ance thé royal party, under the conduct of Buffalo Bill an other officials, visited the Indian and cowboy encampments. The Princess entered one of the huts and expressed much interest in its arrangement. The party then took a hasty view of the in- terior of an Indian tepee, and taen Red Shirt was presented. The Prince asked him if he found it very cold in England, to which he repliea, through his interpreter, that it was not so cold as his country, Dakota, where they had many feet of snow. The Prince then sald, Tell him we are immensely pleased at what we have seen.’’ Red Shirt was much gratified at hearing this. The Prince carefully examined the huge silver medal presented to the Sioux Chiefs when they visited Washington, which bear the head of the late Gen. Grant. Asked by the Prince how long he would remain in England, Red Shirt replied: ‘'I came with Col. Cody, and I will stay with him as long as he stays. In answer to the Princess, who expressed her pleasure at seeing him in England, he said: Tell Great Chief’s wife, it makes my heart glad to hear her words of welcome.“ The Prince entered Buffalo Bill’s tent and was shown the gold-mounted sword pre- sented to him bythe officers of the United States Army, with whom he had served; and then the party entered the stables. where 200 broncho horses are quartered. The Prince had Buffalo Bill’s 20-year-old horse Charlie, which carried him 100 miles in nine hours and forty minutes when chased by Indians, stripped, and examined him carefully. The corral where the buffaloes and other animals were confined was then visited. The Prince and Princess both expressed them- selves highly gratified with their visit and signified their intention to occupy the royal box as frequently as possible during the sea- son. They left the camp exactly at 7 p. m. One of the incidents to-day was when the Prince met Red Shirt a second time and gave him the contents of his cigarette case, which ae Shirt distributed at once among his ellows. THE ART OF ACTING. Coquelin’s Strong Presentation of tho Ne- cessity of Self-Control. From Harper's Magazine. In the actor the first self should be the mas- ter of the second; the part of us which sees should rule as absolutely as possible the part of us which executes. Though this is always true, it is specially true of the moment of rep- resentation. In other words, the actor should remain master of himself. Even when the public, carried away by his action, conceives him to be abandoned to his pas- sion, he should be able to see what he is doing, to judge of his effects and to control himself—in short, be should never feel the shadow of the sentiments to which he is giv- ing expression at the 4 instant that he 18 82 them with the utmost power and truth. Study your part, make yourself one with your character, butin doing this never set aside your own individuality. Keep the con- trol of yourself. Whether your second seif weeps or laughs, whether you become fren- zied to madness or suffer the pains of death, it must always be under the watchful eye of your ever-impassive firat self, and within certain fixed and prescribed bounds. The best mode of representing a part once decided on, it should heneeforth never vary. You must grasp your conception in sucha manner as to be able to recall the image you have created, identical down to the minutest particular, when and where you please. The actor ought never to let his part run away’’ with him. It is false and ridiculous to think thatit is a proof of the highestart for the actor to forget that he is defore the public. If you identifv yourself with your artto the point of asking yourself, as you ook at the audience, ‘‘What are ali these peo- ple doing here?’’—if you have no more con- sciousness where you are and what you are doing—you have ceased to be an actor; you area madman. And a dangerous madman, too. Conceive Harpagon climbing the bal- ustrade and seizing the orchestra by the throats,loudiy demanding the restoration of his casket! Artis, I repeat, not identification, but rep- resentation. The famous maxim, If you wish to make me cry, vou must cry yourseif,’’ is therefore not applicable tothe actor. If he has really tocry, he would, more likely than not, make his audience laugh, for tragedy often becomes comedy tothe spectators, and sorrow frequently expresses itself in a grim- ace. For Charity’s Sake. »The Empress, the historic drama written by Mr. Bernard Dierkes, will be produced at the Grand Opera-house on the evening of May 19. The event cannot fail to be interest- ing from the fact that the author is a St. Louisan, and the cast will be composed of taiented local amateurs. The leading role of Maria Theresa will be taken by Miss Marie Hopkins, daughter of Mrs. S. A. Hopkins, a society debutante of this year and a beautiful and accomplished young lady. She should sustain the part of the lovely and ambitious queen 3 eee Inthe cast also will be Messrs. Dierkes, „ B. Smith, Guy Lindsley, W. M. Porteous, Herold, Prof. Mc Dowell and Miss Westbrook.

Dickson at Pope’s Theater on May 13 has not yet been 2 finally, but enough is sure to promise a delightful dramatic enter- taiment for that evening.

Percy Stone After Greenwood—A Sweeping Offer—Arrival of the Overman Team. It looks very much as if Greenwood will have his hands full with those who want to take up his challenge issued the other day in the PostT-DISPATCH, in which he challenged anybody in the world to ride a race with him to De Soto or there and back. Percy Stone is the first to respond. Toa Post-DISPATCH reporter lagt night he said: Tou can say that I am willing to race Greenwood on the De Soto road on any of his propositions for a sum of money or medal; the race, of course, notto come off till after the Clarksville affair. I would like to race him for $50 or more, but as heisan amateur he might object. I am willing to waive the money, however, and ride fora medal. l’ilhave a $50 trophy made; let him do the same, and then let the winner take the medal. He can’t object to that or if he is riding for glory, let the money be putup as a sort of purse; that is, if he wins, he is to take it out in glory which will leave him an amateur, andif I win lam to take the purse. Greenwood is doing so much talking, I have another propo- sition. I can name three or four amateurs in this city who can beat him on the De Soto road. I don’t mean right now, but after a month’s training. Now, those are propositions. enough, aren't they, for anybody who is after glory?’’ Geo. E. Tivy’s friends have also got the knife out for Greenwood’s scalp. They say he was not represented fairly regarding last Sunday’s ride from De Soto,and that he didn’t get tull credit. They deny that be yelled con- tinually to Greenwood to stop,and say that they are ready to back Tivyto defeat Greenwood over the same roadand the same distance. Tivy has good wind and muscle, and u prop- erly trained might make it interesting for the champion, who has challenged the world. Notes. Chief-Consul Brewster will be starter of the Clarksville road race. Ned Oliver of Chicago has accepted the posi- tion of Chief Bugier for the L. A. W. parade at the meet. Greenwood has been chosen by Chairman Berger of the Tours and Runs Committee to take charge of the run from De Soto to Monte- sano the first day of the meet. There is some talk of having a road race for a purse from Manchester to the city some time after the meet, the competitors to be pure amateurs like Kiipstein, Hildebrand, Hart, Greenwood and others. Chief-Consul Brewster's idea is that the best way to have local consuls selected is to give each representative a district and let him select consuls for the district. He will follow out this idea in the consular arrangements for the ensuing year. Will Carpenter, a member of the Missouri Ciub, has gone to Los Angeles, Cal., to live ermanently. He hus taken his Star with him, but itis almost certain he will not enjoy the riding much, as Los Angeles is noted for the scarcity of its tree- boxes. Percy Stone says regarding the course at Clarksville that although the 100-mile road race is to be run on the twenty-mile course, that he thinks the A. C. U. would not reject the record. He says no record could be broken over the proposed extension of the course through Louisiana and other places to make a fifty-mile run, and the record must go this time. If, he shrewdly says, the rule is that no course can be gone over more than twice without its being left, it will not be di- cult to run aroundatree and get back again to the old road. Representative Cameron’s initial work as Representative justifies all that was said in the POS8T- DISPATCH about his availability when he was a candidate for the office. He has begun to discharge his duties with an energy that fairly surprises Chief-Consul Brewster, who is something of a hustler himself. Although the official notice of his election reached him only in last Monday’s Bulletin Cameron has already sentin to Brewster a list of Consuls in his district, the St. Joseph. Oameron is not a poet or an orator, but at the same time he seems to fully realize the truth of the maxim that ‘‘its the git up and git that makes men great.

— BT M Sear, New York: Cassell & Oo. Limited. 1887. „Imo. | aad From the c Company, 311 North Eleventh street, volume ot a great undertaking is the hands of the public. Twenty vol- not too many for a work which pro- cover the entire field of English liter- ture, from the tablets of Ogham to the poems of Sir Walter Scott, but they are a large num- ber for a man to undertake in half an ordinary Hfe-time, and with only a partial knowledge of the very complex subject on which he un- dertakes to instruct mankind. Whatever the shortcomings of Prof. Morley may be the world undoubtedly owes him a grateful recognition of his courageous and scholarly enterprise, yet were it not that he himself disarms criti- cism by his modest title, An Attempt Towards a History of English Literature,’’ we should be tempted to point out that to attempt“ translations of Celtic poetry with- out some knowledge of the Celtic tongues is a risky proceeding even for an LL.D. The mistake of a century in chronology should not be made oftener than is necessary, and five times in one page is at least four times too often, but to unite the destinies and cement the acquaintance of parties who lived just 100 years apart seems rather a courageous defi- ance of the laws oftime and nature even for those days whén men lived longer than they do now. The intention of the present notice, how- ever, is less to criticise than to give the readers of this journal a brief review of the purpose and aim of the work as a whole. Neither the scheme nor the work is entirely new. Twenty years ago thesame author com- menced a similar task, and a first volume was published (1864) with an introductory sketch ofthe four periods of English literature, fol- lowed by an account .of the writers before *Chaucer, and later, in 1867, by a third half - volume, which brought the story down to the invention of printing. Mr. Morley had in- 3 tended the work for the public generally, but 1 nt Passed chiefly into the hands of students, d in gaining some renown in this field, lost that for which the author had worked and labored. Somewhat displeased at this result the Pro- fessor carried the enterprise no further, and the work was suffered to pass out of print. But the design was not abandoned. Twenty years of waiting and working, given to the study of books and men, have resulted in a revival and enlargement of the scheme, and in the publication of this first installment. The history is to be completed in twenty volumes, published at intervals ofsix months. A simple problem in multiplication and division will demonstrate to the reader that the work, as at present. planned, will take just ten years to exe- cute. At the end of that time, ‘‘if life and health last’’ and the volumes are issued regu- larly, both purchaser and author will have upon their shelves one of the most valuable histories that has ever graced the literature of any nation, written by ascholar anda gentle - man who has devoted half a life-time to the study. Tne only objections to the scheme are that halt a life-time is not long enough to ac- quire the immense amount of knowledge mecessary to so great a work, to- gether with a thorough acquaintance with the various dialects comprised in what is now the English language. This ob- jection is illustrated by the mistakes and slips previously noticed, and others of less import- ance. The other objection is, that so greata scheme, originated and undertaken by a single man is apt to collapse before completion, like. the histories of Macaulay and other literary towers of Babel. The work is, in fact, ency- clopedical in character, and should be com- piled by a syndicate of writers in the same manner as an encyclopedia. Without venturing upon anything like an ex- haustiyve review of the volume itself, which would be too heavy for these columns, just as the work itself is too scholarly for general readers, we will merely attempt a bird’s-eye view over the lighter portions, which should interest everyone. The present volume is largely introductory, 109 pages being devoted toa sort of summing up of the entire subject. Next comes a chapter on the forming of the people and their language, and only when this is concluded are readers introduced to the **Oid Literature’’ of the Gael, the Cymry, the Teutons; to Beowulf, and the literature of Scandinavia, from which the old English lit- erature was largely formed. The best critics have decided that of the present volume, the introduction is the most accurate part. Itis certainly the most inter- esting. Passing over the early pages, which deal with Italian, French and German early writings and their iufluence upon the fathers 3 * “Be 2 x = * 3 * * Pes - * tif oA ee | = ra : 5 e .

They were soon fol- lowed by other attempts of the kind, destined however, to be but short lived. It was not until Scott’s novels were charming the En- giigh-speaking world that a true journalism was developed asthe adequate expression of the English mind. The Public Ledger started in 1760, to which Goldsmith contributed his Victualed 7 a hard-boiled ong, he could sit out the longest debate and next da write out for his *. which he both printe and edited, the pith of all that he had heard. in 1772 ee the Morning Post, of which the editor, in 1880, seceded to found a new paper the Morning Herald. At that date there were no weekly papers. monosyllabie bids deflance to corruptors and mutilators of the language.’’ such spirit at the head of a journal in those turbulent days was likely to get into trouble. In of publication he was sentenced to fine, imprisonment and pillory for speaking out his mind upon the Duke of York.’’ In the vear following he was again prosecuted. In 1794 the Morning Advertiser first appeared, and inthe year following there were in Lon- don fourteen daily papers, ten published three times a week, twotwice a week and twelve weekly, while the distribution of newspapers throughout the country had been increased six-fold by the introduction of mail coaches. The chapters on ‘‘The Forming of the Peo- ple, and of the old literature before the tenth century will not be likely to interest any but students and men of learning. The latter per- haps less than the former, since the the infor- mation conveyed would not seem to indicate very deep research on the part ofthe author. The quotations are nearly all old translations that have appeared in other literary works,and some are erroneous. At the same time bot} public and critics will, or should, await with interest future installments of the work. Ancient literature isa very dangerous anda very uncertain thing totackle. Thestudy of an entire life devoted to that, and to that alone, is not too much in which to unravel its intri- cacies. It is from the volumes on compara- tively modern literature that Prof. Morley’s ambitious work will probably derivé its his- torical value. In this subject tl. re is no man living that can equal him. As the work is to be divided into separate sections, each com- plete in itself, and each provided with a sep- arate title page, readers will be enabled to se- lect the portions they most admire for their own private libraries and leave those they de not care for to readers of another class. Brief Notice. HANDY HELPS. No. 1. By ALBERT P. SouTHWIcK A.M. New York: E. L. Kellog & Co. 1886. i ve. Cloth. 16mo. Price, $1. From the pub- shers. Handy Helps“ is a sort of warmed-up edition of those useful little books that were found in every household a quarter of a cen- tury ago. ‘‘Enquire Within Upon Every- thing’’ and ‘‘Facts Not Generally Known’’ were fair specimens of the class. The volume on hand contains 500 questions on a variety of subjects, to which the answers are appended. Most of the questions would form a puzzling examination paper for most people. ‘*‘Whom did Sir Walter Raleigh seal up?’’ „Why is it the duty of Turkish women to wear earrings?’’ What animal has two sets of eyes? How did O. K. come to signify all correct?’’ ‘*‘What was the origin of the name foolscap paper?’’ What causes Albinos?’’ ‘‘Who finished the Tower of Babel?’’ What is the meaning of the word Mississippi?’’ (by which we learn that it does not mean Father of Waters’’ at all)—are fair specimens of the variety and practical nature of the information conveyed. Those who wish for answers to the above, and there are one or two there that every man has asked once or twice in his lifetime, can refer to the little book itself. Other volumes ofthe series will be issued at intervals. PROVERBS FROM PLYMOUTH CHURCH. By the Rev. HENRY WARD BEECHER; selected by William Deysdale. New York: D.

He lets the events of the day slip by him without a single momment, and I believe if there was a war in the country to-morrow he would ask who was 1 ng in the race. He pays no attention to nafional politics, to new inventions or to hu- affairs of any kind, except when they’ve ot something to do with base ball. In fact, he is the base ball man brought to his lowest terms and he. had to quit playing he would die of a broken heart in a month.

At the same time Pete has one of the biggestchearts in the world and is one of the easiest-going men I know.’’ 2 * John Kelly hastbecome a dignified man since his appointment to the managing end ot the Bluegrass Club. He is popular to a large ex- tent with the members of the team, but knows with President Phelps and the Louisville tory, and that is the respect wherein he differs greatly from Jim Hart, his less fortunate pre- . decessor. He has a happy knack of being emphatic with such people as Ramsey, and his attempts thus far towards reducing the size of the phenomenon’s just how far to go. head have been accompanied with a success that is at least flattering.

As the object of hiring a manager was intended for just the contrary result, Hart became unpopular with the Pres- ident and directorsand hadto go. With Kelly He means just what he says and speaks without the slightest hesitation. Whether this than the methods of Hart remains to be seen, policy will prove a better success ‘but we hope. it will for Kelly’s sake. * * — J always hada hankering after the ball and bat, said Guy Hecker the other day, and of that sort. for with some times it got me into trouble that was not very easy to get out of. I remember long ago, I guess it was ten or twelve years back, I was living with my parents in Oil City, Pa., and I used to play ball with a little team there called the Buckeyes, or the Crescents, or something At that time I was quite a healthy young kid, but probably old enough to know what was good me. The club to pla at home was altogether too wea not for my class so I determined to give them the : whatclubIcoul uestion then struck me as to oto. There was no other club slip. But the in the town and the nearest place to me witha was making my way up in One day we were going to pla for $5, and we did. es? “however. ood team was Springfield, O. To 5 ——— to go, and one night I secretiy slipped out when the family was asleep, laid away hid untilI got a chance to get out of town, and then made my wav to Springfield. I there joined the Springfield Club and great shape. another team I never finished the game, About the third inning my father, who had found out where I had gone, and fol- lowed me, came out on the field and ——- me away. When he got me alone he walloped me to his heart’s content, and I never left home after that until I began to play profes- sionally.’’ — ° * Hecker became a great man since his father walloped him, and has done as much as any- one to make Louisville attain a fame through- out the land, which it might otherwise not have acquired. He has ately to be an expert batter and an efficient pitcher, and is laying up his money 80 taat.some day he can retire from the ball field in comfortable circum- stances. He has a supply store“ in uis- ville, which has been advertised in a manner that would have cost himafortune had he been a plain business man instead ofa great pitcher, and the profits of his trade are quite considerable. He sells balls ‘bats, masks, uniforms, etc., and runs a bill- ‘fard room in the rear and a cigar-stand in the front. ‘‘Hecker’s store“ is as well known in uisville, tf not better, than the Oity Hall, and is the resort of all the ‘‘bloods’’ witha nchant-for sport in the city. Hecker’sam- ition is to become a great base-ball man like Spalding, with a sporting-goods attachment, and the — & obstacle in his way is that Spalding has had a slight advantage over him in the way of priority. * ° * The small boys. in the neighborhood of Sportsman’s Park — idolize ‘‘Ourt’’ elch, the great center-fielder of the Browns.

Detroit Leads the League and Baltimore the Association. Barnie’s team has been doing an inordinate amount of hard work during the past week, and asthe result they are quoted number one prime’’ inthe records. In fact they have plowed their way up from the fourth to the first place and head the champions just enough to make it interesting. Kilroy and the old Newarks have helped them, and if Barnie had all he wants his club would be a little better than best, but such can not be, at least not this season. The turn ot a hair will send the Baltimores’ average down andthe Browns’ average up, but neither the one nor the other is apt to suffer much change until the champions and the prospective pennant-winners meet here next Tuesday. Their proximity in the struggle will make the games between them — interesting. Cincinnati still holds its place at the third notch, just the 12 by the way. with whjch Stern an the captain are satisfied, only the chances are that they will not keep there long enough. Brooklyn has moved up into Barnie’s shoes in figure four and the balance of the string are about where they will spend the summer and locate permanently in the fall. The Mets and the Clevelands are reducing the last two figures in their percentage as rapidl as they can, and it will be exciting to watc how close they can come to the cipher mark without actually touching it. The latter is impossible, more's the ‘pity, for it spoils a good race Below will be found the figures: ASSOCIATION. neuuſsouſo 5 puα,8 Browns j 1 | 0 0 0; 10 Cincinnati ... oO at 5S} Of OF Of Athletics | | Louisville Cleveland Brooklyn Baltimore pie died . 20208 ccncte 7 vO eee * UMMARY.

The White-Stocking champions must feel rather queer away down between In- dianapolis and Washington and Kelly no doubt looks down from third to seventh with considerable satisfaction. How long the Chi- cagos will dally around with the small per cents is hard to tell, but they have a long and a hard road to travel before they can catch the leader. Detroit is repeating its nistory of last year and is by long odds the best yet. Phillips, Nimick & Co. are right on the heels of the $10,000 venture and expect to pass it after a few more games like those of yesterday and no doubt will if Michael J. does not infuse more lifeintothe ‘‘dummies.’’ The League record is annexed. syjodvuvlpay BIqdpepyiqd “*"gopsapqseM Indianapolis. .. mir Chicago .

Friends of his who used to play ball with him years ago on the lake front declare now that even Spalding’s boy friends recognized in those days that he had a wonderful way of reaching behind him when ‘‘delivering’’ a ball. @ They all admit, however, that th never dreamed that he would become the first great pitcher ofthe country, or that he would finally lead the recognized head ana front of the national game, or that he would ever accumulate a big fortune by his devotion to the sport over which he was so en- thusiastic when a youth. The Chicago Mail says: NSpaulding is supposed to be worth $250,000, atthe least, and rhaps a great deal more. Most ot the men who were half-grown fifteen or twenty years ago, remember the amateur club of which the good-looking base-ball Pres- ident was the pitcher and leader. They also remember how another rather forward semi-professional ball club came down from Rockford, III., and played Al’s nine and beat it by a score ot something like 115 to 20, But the Rockford fellows, ——— these disreputable figures, were so capture by Spalding’s 8 delivery that they prevailed on him to go back with them. That was the big base-ball man’s entrance into professional circles. The Mutuals of New York came out to Chicago later and met the Rock- fords, beating the latter by a score of 9 to 0. That was the first time the base-ball en- thusiasts had ever seen a game played with a goose egg on either side, and the occa- sion gave birth to a new word, ‘Chicagoed.’ Spalding's big money has, of course, come from his n business, from the big factor n Michigan where ball bats the millions and from his ‘League bas is,’ but itis also true that his own early reputation as a ball player and his later connection with the famous Chi nine has been a great ald to his business. © be- came a base-ball enthusiast at the right time forced his goods with a great deal of zeal and method, and, by his own reputation as a high- class sporting man, has kept hi con- tinually in the public .

Up to date the Browns have played in thir- teen champlonship games. Their work, as resolved into figures in the tables below, is seen to be ot a high standard. The batting and the flelding averages ofthe team are un- usually high. The former, no doubt, are due to the new pitching rules. Foutz’s work is figured out in the two positions he plays, pitch and right field. Me leads the battersand the fielders as itcher and hasthe highest average in both ines. As batter he stands fifth in the bat ting list and fourth in the fielding list. Latham is the tail-ender on the latter table, but this is not to be taken as a valuation of his ability as a ball- player. Latham’s fielding average was never high. Annexed are the recorus including yesterday’s game: BATTING. Batting NAME.

Isitatrifie tooearly to ask ‘‘what will be- come of Denny and Glasscock in 1888?“ The Chicago Cirb will be badly off for pitch- ers before the season comes to an end. Clark- son cannot do all the work. Bill Gleason’s arm isin good trim again and he says he will now play the game of his life’’ down at the short field. Caruthers, the pitcher, has baeked a bet that Baltimore will finish in front of Louls- ville and Cincinnati in the championship race. The Detroit Free Press says that Glasscock’s club can ‘‘wipe upthe grass’’ with Pittsburg. The Free Press saw Pittsburg play zone game. The Post- DISPATCH picked young Daly out as a winner after his first game with the Browns last month. Nov, every one is doing the same thing. President Phelps of Louisvifie said some time ago that he would not take Sylvester as a gift. Well, ‘‘Syl,’’ will not be offered as a gift or otherwise. Tip O’Neill’s hit over the extreme left- cen- ter fleld portion of the west fence at Sports- man’s Park yesterday was the longest drive ever seen on the grounds. The only question troubling Capt. Comiskey in the matter of pennant-winning is whether the Browns will have a lead of eight or fifteen games when the season closes. If the champions win to-day and to-morrow and the Baltimores win to-day the two clubs will be tied for first place when they meet at Sportsmun’s Park next Tuesday. Capt. Comiskey is becoming a regular thief when he runs bases. In fact allof the cham- pions are stealing more bases than ever. Have the new rules anything to do with it? Joe Pritchard, in a Philadelphia paper, abuses the POST-UVISPATCH agnonymousiv for saying that Bauer was a bad umpire. Bauer, by the way, is an umpire no longer. Somebody suggests Will White as an able- bodied pitcher for Cleveland. Wonder how **spectacies’’ would pan out under the new rules. He never was a hop-skip-and-jump pitcher. Some of the Cleveland players are disposed to blame the incidental carrying of thirteen men on the last trip forthe club’s bad luck. How about the champion Browns carrying precisely that number an entire season. The Maroon directors have refused to allow President Stromberg 8400 a month for doing nothing. Can it be possible that President Stromberg has been taking lessons from one or two pitchers whose names it is ‘‘needies’’ to mention? Frank Bunnell of the Cleveland Plalndealer, is enthusiastic over the bables. Frank isa great lover of base Dall and it is a pity that he has not got something to be enthusiastic about. The Oleveland’s percentage of games won is decreasing every day. A month hence it will be something like this: .00 1-16. The number of really excellent players has so increased and so many superfluous ones are under engagement that managers are really in troubie to decidé whom to let go. The only class of players in which there isa 8 ig pitchers. The market is not likely to be glutted in that department at least. The Brooklyn team is in rather bad shape vat, as Clark and Peoples are unable to cate the former py reason of a lame shoulder and the latter of a sprained ankle. This throws the burden of the work upon the capabie and willing Jack O’Brien. Besides all this,George Smith has a game leg and Burch and McClellan have sore arms, and yet the club keeps on winning. Anson says: The Indianapalis Club is play- ing good ball. They played good ball when they were in St. Louis, and they are stronger now than they were last year. They have Bassett on second base, and he plays ball all the time, and when they have Boyle in the box and Myers behind the bat ey have retty near as — à team as there ie in the ague. The Detroit Club played lucky ball at Indianapolis. They ought to have lost two out of the three games they — * there. The scores and all the reports show it, and still they won all three.’’ Anson has changed his opinion since 1886.

McDermott, amateur short-distance walker, will be sent by the Spartan Harriers of New York to Engiand in ay to represent the club in English sports andthe champion- ship games to be held there July (and 5. There is a probability that J. 8. Robertson, the Canadian champion sprinter, will be here to compete in the games of the M. A. A. O. His object will be to carry off the $50 cup given = the one-fourth-mile champlonship of the est. It is reported that Bethune is negotiating with — Hutchens, English champion, now in Australia, to run a series of races at 400, 800 and,1,000 yards, the match to take Polo Grounds, New York City, in change. Nonsense. The final heat in the Sheffield Shrovetide Handicap was the tamest seen ever years, the winner, Gent, having his field beaten throughout and winning easily by two yards. His backers were so confident that they laid 20 to 1 on his winning. The Golden Gate Athletic Club are to havea a 7 — in Petaluma, Cal., on June 2, for which occasion a long and varied programme has been arranged, in which both young girls and married ladies are given a chance to show how fast they can run. Wendell Baker, formerly of Harvard and now a member ofthe N. Y. A. C., having re- considered his resolution to not again appear on the cinder path, is announced to make an attempt to beat the existing amateur records at 100, 220 and 440 yards. Joe Murphy will 4 be the M. A. A. C. representative at the Pullman meeting which will take place May 28. The 100-yards scratch should be a gift for him. It is to be hoped that they will engageamore experienced pistol firer than they had at their last meeting. Atthe Carrington Grounds, Sidney, April 12, Samuels, the aboriginal, defeated Hutch- ens, the English sprinter, in a 130-yards match, for £200, the former being in receipt of three yards start. Therace, however, was a capital one, barely half a yard dividing the pair at the finish. The time was officially re- turned at 12 3-5 seconds. The energetic Manhattan Athletic Club propose to de ably represented at this year’s amateur championship games in England. In addition to E. D. nge in the walking ev vent, it is now an- nounced that W. B. Page, the University of Pennsylvania’s intercollegiate champion, has consented to contest in the running high- jump, which would seem to be quite at his mercy. This team can be depended upon to uphold the brilliant reputation of the M. A. C., whose colors are almost as well known on the leading athietic grounds in England as they are in America. Mr. D. G. French, Vice-President of the Chicago Athletic Association, was in the city the past week. He reports that athietics in the Windy Oity are simply booming. Their new track is not yet finished, but they have secured a very suitable piece of ground, which they are using as temporary training quarters, and he says it is not an uncommon sight to see twenty men on the track at the same time. If the St. Louls athletes wish to retain their reputation they had vetter be getting to work. They should remember that many a battle has been lost through underestimating the strength of the enemy. The following incident will show how the sporting public in England protect themselves against ‘‘ringers in: At the new Peacock Grounds, Leeds, in cold but fine weather a large number on Saturday paid toll for the conclusion of Messrs. Saxton and Haigh’s 120 yards handicap for £15. The following won their heats: M. Hanley, Leeds, 17%; M. Gleeson (old), Leeds, 26%; G. Hutchinson, New Wortley, 19; A, Clayton, Barnsley, 12; J. W. Brown, Leeds, 166. The manner in which Hutchinson had won the third heat up- set all calculations, and raised doubts as to his being a right un, and as many of the spectators deciared their intention of not al- lowing the final heat to be run until he was proved correct, the promoters adjourned the conclusion until Saturday next. lace on the une.—[Ex- OUR NEIGHBORS.

ADMIRAL SEMMES’ Boo. The St. James Gazette Publishes a Caustic Criticism of the Narrative. LONDON, May 7.—The St. James Gazette of last night printed a caustic criticiem of Ad- miral Semmes’ book. It says that his narra- tive of the Cruise of the Alabama is inter- esting, but that the book is padded with much useless political talk. It adds that his politics and his constitutional law are by no means on a level with his seamanship. . The pafiding—and very tiresome padding it is, consists of endless abuse of the North, and much foolish talk about cavalier» and Puri- tans; about the chivalry of the South and the meanness of the other side. Admiral Semmes was one of the minority of fighters in the war who have retained in their bosom all the hate and fury of five and twenty years ago, at their old heat. Regard for his own 8 should have induced him to moderate his language, for as it stands, it looks a little too much like unmanly scolding.’’ — — ECZEMA And Every Species of itching and Burning Diseases Cured by Cuticura. 1 or Salt Rheum, with its agonizing itching and burning, instantly relieved by a warm bath with CUTICURA Soap, and a single application of CUTICURA, the great Skin Cure.
