Special @bjerram tothe Post-Dispatch. LONDON, August 6.—Hartington’s speech last night is differently understood by almost every member of the Commons, the majority backing him, deprecating a coalition Govern- ment. As, however, his direct assertion was Prince Bismarck will interfere and will put forward the hereditary Duke of Nassau, who is thelr representative tothe Grand Duchy of Luxemburg and now held by the King of Hol- land as chief of the Orange-Nassau family. The old Duke of Nassau, his father, is one of the German Princes deposed by Prussia in 1866,and was one of the first ofthese petty sovereigns who afterwards became reconciled to their conqueror. The young Duke married last year a Princess of Baden, who is a grand- daughter of Emperor William. The German authorities have for some time past been building forts along the Dutch frontier. There are now 60,000 German soldiers so disposed that they can be moved into Holland at a few hours’ notiee. England. THE MIDLAND STRIKE. LONDON, August 6.—Many of the Midland Railway men are returning to work. The pros- pects of the strikers are not hopeful. There are now signs of a collapse of the strike, as the men are badly organized. HARTINGTON NOT DISMAYED. The Morning Post, referring to the Unionist THE POINTS.

Fauntleroy of St. Louls, who secured awrit of error from Justice Miller of the United States Supreme Court Thursday in the case of the murderer Maxwell, arrived here this forenoon, and called atthe Supreme Court Chambers to have the seal of the Court affixed to the writ. Mr. Fauntleroy was seen by the Post-DISPATCH correspondent, and in reply to a question on what points Judge Miller consented to give him a writ, he said: There are some ten points in my applica- tion, which would cover thirty pages of fools- 11 run APTER USING HERCULES simply that the time was not yet ripe aa ae om 2 last evening, cap.

As he gave no sign in the matter,Prof. Hun- ter wanted to ask him in the House whethe he intended to accept my challenge or apolo- gize, but was refused permission to put the question. PARLIAMENT BREAKING UP. Parliament is beginning to break up in spite of the whips. Every night a large uumber of new pairs are made to last till the end of the session, and the members are leaving one by one for all parts of the world, especially Scotland. Gladstone goes home to-day. Sal- isbury is preparing to start for his chalet, near Dieppe. The only member I have yet heard of that will visit America during the recess is W. A. McArthur, the hero of the Buckrose and Stanstell fights. Among his other vacation plans ds a journalistic trip around the Empire, beginning with New- foundiand and proceeding, via the Canadian Pacific, to the East, touching Valdivostock; investigating generally the position of Rus- sia in the Pacific; visiting North Borneo, Up- per Barmah, Northwestern Indian frontier ; sGnelly returning by way of F Zanzibar. AGAINST SOCIALISM. The annual report of the Liberty and Prop- erty Defense Association issued to-day de- clares the intention of forming a species of co- operation all-round crusade on the part of the general property interest against Socialism, to be called the White International. The proposal sounds rather childisb. LITERARY CHAT. In September, Allen of Orpington, will pub- lish ‘‘Hortus Inclusus,’’ a volumeof selec- tions from Ruskin's letters to Miss Beares, with a preface and notes by Ruskin. The book has been edited by Alfred Flemine to be a companion volume to Froude’s ‘‘Agrestes.’‘ Robert Louis Stevenson, on the eve of a jour- ney to Colorado, where he proposes to re- main for some time, is preparing for the press a new edition in two volumes of ‘‘Virgimbur Purrisque.’’ The first volume is merely a re- print. The second will cuntain scattered es- says he has contributed to many periodicals. Edward Cladd is writing a resume of the The Standard says it regrets that the ban quet given to Lord Hartington by the Liberal- Unionists last night did not precede the re- cent Parliamentary elections, and that it imagines a perusai of the speeches made at the banquet will shake the faith of even those who have the most confidence in Mr. Glad- stone’s lucky star. THE CASS CASE. Miss Cass, the young woman who was ar- rested in Regent street some time ago by Policeman Endicott, and whose case attracted great attention, has determined to prosecute the policeman for perjury. She claims that the perjury was committed during the police inquiry into her arrest. The hearing of Miss Cass’ action against Kndicott will begin on Monday. THE O DONNELL LIBEL SUIT. The statement of the claim in the case of Mr. Frank Hugh O'Donnell against the Times for £50,000 damages for libel, for the paper’s re- marks about him in its article on ‘‘Parnellism and Crime,’’ indicates that the leading Par- nellites will be called to teatify during the prosecution of the case. THE ‘FRISCO DEAL. Up to the present time no difficulties have arisen here through the collapse of the San Erancisco wheat deal. It is stated that the wheat held in Liverpool for the American ring is held under good margins. It is feared, however, that the trade has suffered and that failures will ensue. CHAMBERLAIN’S SPEECH. Mr. Joseph Chamberlain, in his speech at the Liberal-Unionist banquet to Lord Harting- ton last night, said that the bye elections for members of Parliament really re- dounded to the eredit of the Liberal- Unionists. They show that the Glad- stonians are rapidly abandoning the evils of the Gladstone heresy. All the recent Gladstonian candidates are fervent worshippers of the four points laid down by Lord Hartington a yearago. They assure us that they have reason to believe that Mr. Gladstone is a convert to the Liberal- Unionist principles, and are indignant if any one is sceptical of this point. Our oppo- nents appropriate our opinions and persecute us for holding them. The issue _ is whether we shall accept Mr. Trevelyan's in- terpretation of Mr. Gladstone’s oracular utter- ances, und whether we have confidence enough in Mr. Treveylan to feel satisfied that he willresist Mr. Gladstone’s new proposals, should he find that he has been too sanguine in his estimate of Mr. Gladstone’s intentions, Mr. Chamberlain conciuded by drawing an alarming picture of what would have been the — — state of affairs had Mr. Gladstone’s bills been passed, a fate from which Lord Martington’s firm- ness, be suid, had saved the country. The Times, commenting on the banquet, says it was a natural and a proper compliment to a statesman whose services to the Unionists’ cause have been of extreme importance and value. GOVERNMENT-AIDED IMMIGRANTS. One hundred and six Government-aided four hours of the trial a police sergeant court and refused to admit only those he saw fit, and another point was that one of the three counts in the original indictment against Maxwell was bad. Our State Supreme Court admits that it was defective. Our trial court gave instructions and supplied what was lacking in the count. Therefore the indictment was prepared by the court and not by the Grand-jury as required by law; that no man should be compelled to testify against himself; that Detective Dingfelder’s testimony should beeliminated. Dingfelder obtained his alleged confession by artifice. He was placed in Maxwell’s cell for that purpose and the Court connived at the trick. For that reason 1 think that anything Dingfelder obtained from Maxwell should not be admitted in evidence. Justice Miller granted my application as soon as I completed myargument. The effect of that will be to postpone the execution of Maxwell's sentence until after the Supreme Court has passed upon the merits of our plea. Am I confident of success? Well, Justice Miller’s prompt action has inspired me with hope. The principal question to be argued before the Supreme Court is as to whether it has jurisdiction over the points we have raised. There might be the most glaring errors in a lower court, you know, and still the Supreme Court could not notice them for want of jurisdiction. If the Supreme Court decides. thgt it has jurisdic- tion, I have no doubt that the case will be re- versed and a new trial ordered, but if the court holds that it cannot notice the point we have raised, of course that will bean end of the matter, and of Maxwell, unless the Governor should interfere.’’ ‘‘When do you expect to argue the case pefore the Supreme Court?’’ Well, ifthe case is not advanced on the docket it will be two years before it is reached. I presume, however, that the counsel for the prosecution will ask to have it advanced, and move to have the case dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. In that event the matter may be disposed of as early as Octo- ber. But, as I said, if the Court decides that it has no jurisdiction, I have no doubt we shall get a new trial. My only anxiety is as to the question of jurisdiction, and I firmly believe that we shall be able to convince the Supreme Court that they have jurisdiction. was stationed at the entrance to the Prince Frederick William under- widow's mite can make the lamp work if she gets the doctrine 2 evolution under the title of A f — — Story of the Creation.“ immigrants sailed by the steamer Lake Winni- 0 a The Froebel Society offers prizes to the | peg from Queenstown for Montreal to-day.

DELEGATE GARTENBACH’S PROPOSITION TO HOLD THE “COMBINE” TOGETHER. — The Health Department Meeting With Little Success in the Attempts to Check the Spread of Diphtheria—Street-Commis- sioner Turner in the Role of a Humorist— Weekly Mortality—Municipal Matters. The delegates are spending considerable time about the City Hall. Some of the muaniol- pal legislators have been very busy since the adjournment. They did not communicate the nature of their business to any one but achosen few, and it was not until yesterday that the subject of the numerous conferences leaked out. They are still at work on the combine plan, which proposes to oust Speaker Bannerman, the clerical force, and to reconstruct the committees of the House. Nolan’s appointment to the Railroad Commit- tee has not straightened out the complications as the other members of the combine believe it will make him weaken. Hilgeman has been unable to hold his forces together. Delegate Billy Gartenbach, who was — to by one of the combiners, sugges a plan. In an- swer to the invitation to join the crowd he said: If you have got fourteen men who will stand together. III goin, but I don’t want to 80 in and get left on the break-up.”’ „How will we hold them together? „Make each man as up $1,000,’’ replied Gartenbach, ‘‘and he does not live u his contract he forfeits his money. This proposition since then appears to offer the only solution, as between the de- mands of Hilgeman and Pohiman the ‘‘com- bine’’ cannot be held together. Gartenbach is counted as a Mayor Francis man and has been accused of giving away the secrets of the meetings, but the above state- ments indicate where he stands. Weekly Mortality. Two hundred and fifty-two deaths were re- ported during the week at the Health Com- missioner’s office. During the corresponding week last year 166 were reported. The annual — — thousand has run up to 31.2. Six of the deaths reported to-day were attributed to heatstroke, 2 to suicide, 2 to homicide and 6 to accident. Sixteen deaths fesulted in cases of diphtheria. ilton Ives, day. Au 80 all close a decl The Diphtheria, The Health Department is not elated over the slow progress made in checking diph- theria. A large sanitary force has been kept at work for several months following up cases reported by the physicians and disinfecting premises where the disease had found victims. Department has made no greater success with the disease than before. During the week closing at hoon to-day, sixteen deaths from diphtheria were reported. It is feared that if these figures are not cut down by September when the schools reopen, it will spread through town generally. effect Gen.

While the statement may be astounding to Street Department men it will be no surprise to the General’s fellow members of the Board of Public Improvement, the scene of jocular perpetrations. Atthe last meeting of each month a member of the Board is appointed, according to the provisions of the ordinance, as a committee of one to visit the Work- house, with full authority to investigate the sanitary, financialand moral conditions of the institu- tion.

Count Chapolsky in New York Mail and Express. The young girls of America are very charming—some of them. They are also, to a foreigner, very surprising—many of them. Thereis an inherent love of noise and loudness of speech and demeanor about them that causes at least an eleva- tion of the alien eyebrow. ‘In vain have I tried, with the limitless resources which a five years’ residence in this de- lightful country has afforded me, to fathom the causes of the differ- ence in Is here.

A spring; a dash; pell-mell: pushing and —— 9 4— pust each other, and presently their loud shouts arose from the court, to the evident distraction of a few of another species of girl who sat upon the porch quietly chatting and reading. After making a hasty toilet I came down to one of the parlors, en route to the din- ing-room, but, even overcome as I was by hunger, my steps were ar- rested on the threshhold, and I sat down with a my A of the Mail and Ex- press as a raison d'etre for lingering. A young girl of perhaps 17 to 20, with a very small waist and a wisp of light hair tied with a blue ribbon, surmounted by a little hat, sat upon the center-table of the room: her feet, neither small nor pretty (a strange anomaly for an American not to have such), dangled about a foot from the tloor, and these she swung rapidly back and forth as she talked to four youn fellows who were grouped around her, a sinoking, all regardless of the presence of other ladies, to whom the smoke was very patently disagreeable,and of the fact that cigars were not permitted in this apart- ment. This youns girl suddenly pulled the short curls of the boy nearest to her, who was reading. „O, say now,” he exclaimed, without raising his eyelids, ‘‘what’s the matter with you?” “Nothing; only it’s getting awfully slow here; do put up that book; wish was back in N’ York.” And did she come from New York? I had at onde and unhesitatingly placed her as the apprentice of the village dressmaker, who having doubtless some youns relative in the coliege, thus found, for a brief space, the doors of a fashionable hotel Open to receive her. ‘*Mercy upon us!” cried a second young miss, who rolled upon the sofa, ‘‘I don’t. ltoldmommer (‘‘mamma,” I suppose) this very morning she wouldn’t catch me Foing back to the city for a month to come; she needn’t think of it!“ 0, these horrid flies!“ screamed num- ber one. the so-named young gentleman’s volume u brisk kick with the tip of her boot, shut up that book and chase the flies.“ No, I won't,“ returned Mr. Brown, coolly picking up his literature. “You’re real mean, I declare.

In point of fact, they all jingled these keys continual- ly, emphasizing therewith their actions and conversation. Who were they? Iwas at some pains to find out. The girl who sat on the table was the daughter of an officer in the navy, and the girl who sat composedly down in a public room with her long, fallen hair, was the daughter of an officer in the army; and the poker-playing child was the engaging offspring of a prominent professor in a eat college; and the young fellows who smoked and exhibited 80 many other well-bred traits were one and all the sons of people of some posi- tion in that cosmopolitan compound called society. Istoodaghast. I had learned the ‘‘whence?” But beforethe ‘‘where- fore” my researches availed me nothing. So far as I could learn from listening to these young persons and to their parents —whenever such adjuncts were visible— the sole object of their lives was invluded in the frantic pursuit of something that they called ‘‘a good time.” This ap- eared to consist of whistling, scream- „ shouting, waking people up any time after midnight, thrum- ming on banjos and pianos, tak- ing lon drives without a chap- eron, an returning, making, the welkin ring“ with topical songs, screamed out by their shrill 1 voices; dancing at any and every hour of the day or night, asserting themselves by boldness and dis- courtesy to each other and every one else; filling the rooms with the smoke of the cigarette, pelting each other with an convenient missile, and discussing all their private affairs at the tops of their voices. Jam quite sincere in the ardent desire that some one would enlighten me about these girls. What do they propose to themselves? What do their mothers pro- pose for them? When a man remembers what an ador- able being a true, womanly, well-bred, gentle girl can be, even without the gift of beauty. he is not to be blamed for the interrogation point that he*finds himself mn + pig into when he encounters such girls. And after all it is not the girls—it is the girls’ mothers; and to solve the riddle one must look back perhaps and find out what the home education of these mothers was. I admire most intensely the American woman—the most bewildering, fascinat- ing, self-conscious, keen, intelligent and self-poised women in the world. But these girls—what dothey eventuall become? And if,they marry how will their children in turn be brought up? MALLEABLE GLASS. A Lawrenceburg Store Clerk Discovers the Lost Art of Making Malleable Glass. From a Lawrenceburg (Ind) Special. The lost art of making malleable glass has been discovered by C. M. Caldwell, a mechanical genius in the employ of Messrs. Birdwhistell & Mountjoy, hardware mer- chants and iron-workers of this place. Mr. Caldwell has been experimenting for a number of months, and had carried the experiments to such an extent that a nuruber of our citizens began to think he was cranky, and put him in the same category with would-be inventors of erpetual motion and flying machines. ut this week he has brought forth from his flery crucibles results that will not only astonish the world, but will algo en- tirely revolutionize the manufacture of glass. Mr. Caldwell’s laboratory (if we may so call it) is situated in the rear of Birdwhistell & Mountjoy’s. workshop. Its contents are a puddling furnace about the size of an ordinary bake-oven. It is built of fire-brick and contains numerous pockets in which to place crucibles. A pile of crucibles and several bags of borax fill one corner of the room and a lot of charcoal another. A portable forge, patent fan-blower,a pile of glass bottles and broken window-glass about complete the contentsof the establish- ment. Aside from the above facts, the balance of Mr. Caldwell’s secret still re- mains with himself. He has about 400 poundsof malleable ie on his work-bench. For the en- ightenment of the writer he got his ham- mer and flattened outa huge ball of it until it was not much thicker than a piece of tin plate; then he put it through a pair of rollers and rolled it into the shape of a bucket. He then fiattened out another . and put a bottom on the bucket. e then put ears and a bail on it of the Same material. The bucket was thus made entirely of glass, even the rivets for the ear being of such tensile strength as to not require the use of any metal rivets whatever. Mr. Caldwell made a number of pint cups the shape of an ordinary tin cup. numerous other vessels and some small ornaments as mementves, etc. The discovery has caused considerable excitement in Lawrenceburg, and Mr. Caldwell is now the observed of all observ- ers, as it is well known an immense for- tune is in store for him, as well as the vast importance of his discovery to the civil- ized world at large. Mr. Caldwell is experimenting with a number of bottles which he has just placed in the crucible in the puddling furnace. They are packed with borax and some other chemicals—which, of course,are a secret— aud covered over with charcoal. the blower is run by the power in the * — workshop, and in about twelve hours the Say you, Jack Brown,” giving eines is malleable.

There is no better beverage manufactured. There is something at- tractive in the word ‘cider.’ It is sugges- tive of a feeling of coolness to the perspir- ing frame without recourse to cobblers or juleps; of the assuaging of thirst by a fluid of grateful acidity and pleasant flavor containing sufficient alcohol to prevent injurious effects from a hearty, refrigerat- 2 yet not sufficient to intoxi- ca > Then these are not pure cider?’’ Pure! As far from it as you can im- agine. Cider is so popular a beverage that other fruits than apples are used in its manufacture. We have ‘pear’ cider made out of Bartlett — which is not at all a bad drink. Following this lead a new beverage has appeared in drug stores, confectioners’ shops and on lem- onade stands entitled ‘orange cider,’ which purports to be the fermented = ressed from the fruit of Florida and Cali- ornia orange groves, barrelled and bot- tled in the city.’ : The name is attractive.“ Nothing could be more so,’’ explained the physician, ‘‘but the name is the onlv thing about it.

Then he can be sure of what he is drinking.’’ “SEND FOOD TO JOHN.” The Voice That the Deacon Heard Three Times in His Sleep. From the Albany Journal. Onthe summit of Washington Moun- tain, overlooking the Housatonic Valley, stood a hut, the home of John Barry, a poor charcoal burner, whose family con- sisted of his wife and himself. His occu- pation brought him in only a few dollars, and when cold weather came he had man- aged to get together only a small pro- vision for the winter. After a sum- summer of hard work he felt sick and was unable to keep his fires going. So when the snow of December, 1874, fell and the drifts bad shut off communication with the village at the foot of the moun- tain, John and his wife were in great straits.

The food of the old couple was now reduced to aday’s supply, but John did not yet despair. e was a God-fearing man, and so, when evenin came John and his wife were praying an asking for help. In Sheffield village, ten miles away, lived Deacon Brown, a well-to-do farmer. early, and, in spite of the storm raging without, were sleeping soundly, when, with a start, the Dea- con awoke and said to his wife Who spoke? Who's there?’ Why.“ said his wife, no one is here but you and me. What's the matter with you?’ 1 heard a voice,’’ said the Deacon, saying: ‘Send food to John.’’’ »Nonsense, “ re- —— Mrs. Brown, go to sleep. You ave been dreaming.” The Deacon laid his head on his pillow and was asleep in a minute. Soon he started up again and, waking his wife, said; ‘‘There, I heard that voice again: Send food to John.“ „Well, well,“ said Mrs. Brown. ‘‘Dea- con, you are not well; your supper has not agreed with you. Lie down and try and sleep.“ Again the Deacon closed his eyes and again the voice was heard: Send food to John.“ This time the Deacon was thoroughly awake. Wife, said he, ‘*who do we know named John who needs food?” Noone I remember.” replied Mrs. Brown, ‘‘unless it be John Barry, the old charcoal-burner on the mountain.” That's it,“ exclaimed the Deacon. Now [remember, when I was at the store the other day, Clark, speaking of John Barry, said: ‘I wonder if the old man is alive, for it is six weeks since I saw him, and he has not yet laid in his winter stock of gro- ceries.’ It must be old John is sick and wanting food.’’ So saying, the good Deacon arose and proceeded to dress himself. Come wife,“ said he, waken Willie and tell him to feed the horses and get ready to go with me, aud do you pack up in the two larg- est baskets you haveagood supply of food, and get us an early breakfast, for I am going up the mountain to garry the food 1 know John Barry needs.“ That ten-mile ride, which required in the sum- mer hardly an hour or two, was not fin- ished until the Deacon’s watch showed that five hours had passed.

GINGER ALES OF MANY KINDS. A Manufacturer Reveals Some of His Own and Other People’s Secrets. From the New York Mail and Express. „The demand for ginger ale,’’ said a manufacturer of that beverage recently to a reporter for the Mail and Express, rapidly increases. About twenty — ago, when Istarted in the business, there were only thirty other manufacturers. Now 1 simply make the extract for others to put into portable form and these others have grown from thirty to more than 500. Most of the man- ufacturers use the same method. They mix the extract with fine syrup, dilute with water until an ordinary bottle con- tains about fifteen drops of ginger. and then put this into bottles with a carbonic acid machine. Two qualities are made, one for private use and for first-class ho- tels and saloons, and one for the regular bar-room trade. The difference is almost entirely in the quality of the extract used. The best quality sells at $1 or $1.20 a case of twenty-four bottles. The cheaper kind costs only 50 cents to 75 cents a case. ‘*Three-fourths of the so-called im- — article is manufactured here. The ottles belonging to the favorite brands are kept and sent to us to be refilled. We leave the labels intact, or if they are dam- aged paste on fac-similes, and put in new corks and metal capsules or tags. There is nct one person ina thousand who can detect the fraud. In one first-class hotel in this city I have been refilling bot- tles for seven years, and suppose I shall continue to do so as long as I am in the business.“ Is there any bad ginger ale in the mar- ket?’’ es; there are two bad kinds, and both are so bad that the Board of Health should stop the manufacture of them. They are made in large quantities in this city and sold chiefly in beer and ice-cream saloons. One is made from cheap ginger and is doctored with red pepper and chem- icals to give it body and bite. The men who make it — that red pepper is good for the stomach, but they carefully say nothing about the chemicals, The other, and worst kind, is a German production. Instead of making it of pure ginger, they buy, wherever they can, spoiled and con- demned ginger root. Some of them make their essence from this and strengthen it with cayenne pepper. Others grind it up and brew a vile beer from it, and then fla- vor it with red pepper. Youcan easily de- tect this by letting itstandalittle. A thick sediment forms at the bottom and it soon turns sour. Its cheapness, however, recommends it to unscrupulous saloon- keepers. It never costs more than 50 vents a case, and often as low as 38 cents.“ AT THE STOKM’S MERCY. Marvelous Experience With a Thunder- bolt on a Farm. From the Philadelphia Record. A strange storytof a phenomenal thun- der-storm in Burlington County,New Jer- sey, Which occurred on the afternoon of the 22d ult , is narrated by G. E. Starn, a farmer of Parry, who, with four of his farm-hands, narrowly escaped death. At 1:30 o’clock a shower arose in the southwest, with the wind blowing steadily from that quarter for an hour. Suddenly the wind changed and blew terrifically from the northeast until about five minutes past 3 o’clock. Then, almostin an instant, the wind and rain ceased, and the sun shone forth with- out a cloud to be seen in the sky. Mr. Starn called three men— Wm. Fasnacht, Henry Gibson and John Brown—to re- move the limb of a tree which had blown down near the house, and started off him- self with another man to look after some asturing stock. When about 150 yards rom the house Farmer Starn heard a | terrific gushing noise approaching from the | northeast, and, as there seemed to be no wind, and@the sky was perfectly clear, all As the invisibte force passed over their heads an | explosion occurred like the report of a can- non. Mr. Starn and his men were swun about, the former with his hands claspec as if clutching a battery. With great difficulty he succeeded in opening hid fin- gers. The bolt seemed to have come down through the tree where the men were at work, exploding within about two feet of the ground. Gibson was not hurt, thoug badly frightened. Brown was dushed to the ground, and turned as yellow as a lemon. A hole as large asa silver dollar was burned through one of his stockings, and the foot was blistered. He soon recovered, but lost all recollection of what bad occurred until the evening of the next day. Fasnacht, who was 4 — nearest the tree, was literally turned upside down, and fora few seconds remained ia that position, as though suspended in the air, with his head | at least two feet from the ground. He dropped down with great force, as if thrown instead of having fallen. He was blind until 9 o’clock that evening, and for a time his life was despaired of. He is now rapidly recovering. | An Aut!.Poverty Song.

Long Branch is an American cousin to Monte Carlo, and the American Prince of Monaco here is Phil Daly. Daly is not at all the ideal gambler. e is a portly gentleman of refined manners, always wears a dress suit in the evening, lives elegantly but not ostentatiously 2 one of the prettiest cottages at the Branch and has the polite,suave and stately man- ners of a gentleman of the old school. His aim is to make his place here equal to any- thing of the kind in Europe, andas far as the respectability of his patrons goes he beats Monte Carlo all hollow. Any night in the gorgeous saloon of his Penusylva- nia Club can be seen men well known in business, political and social life in the great cities of the country. The people who go to Phil Daly’s of a night are, meta- — tga! strained through a fine-tooth comb. o Jerseyman, be he worth §$1,- 000,000, is allowed inside of the orange hedge surrounding the Pennsylvania Club. The club is run exclusively for the — 5 of other States and cities. The arge amount of money that Daly derives every year from his club he spends with a liberal hand in Long Branch. His ears are never deaf to the call of charity, and altogether the stately proprietor of the Pennsylvania Club is personally a rather popular man. ut Daly has made one great mistake. If he had simply run his club during the summer and disappeared from the Branch in the winter he would have got along all right. But he took up his permanent res- idence here and began to dabble in politics. Then there came a war, and the war is nowraging up and down the beach. A while ago a lot of small gamblers were raided and their places closed up. Small bets from people who could not afford to lose were taken in these places, and the better sentiment of the community was decidedly and strongly opposed tothem. These people who were closed — attributed their woes to Phil Daly, and swore les upon him. First and foremos among Daly’s enemies appears to be one Dunham, a man who was arrested, and, for a while imprisoned in default of bail. for keeping a gambling house. Last week Dunham went before Justice Van Dorn and demanded a warrant for Daly on the charge of owning and maintaining a gambling house. Justice Van Dorn told Dunham that he desired before issuing the warrant, to consult the District-Attor- ney; Dunham then made application to Justice Pitcher, who issued a warrant ordering the arrest of Daly and it was given to officers to serve. How they finally arrested Daly, and how when he was brought to police headquarters no Justice was there to commit him and he was al- lowed to depart again, has already been told in the Worrp. Dunham then went before Judge Walling, at Freehold, who told him to give the warrant to the Sheriff of the county to serve. When Daly sleeps, however, he sleeps with one eye open, and when thateye gets tired somebody else keeps an eye open for him. Soshortly after the warrant had been placed inthe hands of the Sheriff Mr. Daly had appeared, entered recogniz- ance and departed. So, in spite of Dun- ham, the illuminated fountains glistened at night on the smooth, green lawn of the Pennsylvania Club, the glasses clinked and the roulette wheel whirled under the beautiful frescoes amid the bronzes and marbles of the saloons, and Mr. Daly was as serene, urbane and courteous as ever; but Dun- bam is on the warpath, breathing out threatenings and slaughter. He has on his war paint and his fighting gear. He has sharpened his scalping-knife on the sole of his boot,and is bound to come back some day to camp with the scalp of Phil Daly hanging at his girdle. Every night thonsands are lost and won in the Pennsylvania and Long Branch Clubs. The other night a prominent New Yorker strolled into Phil Daly’s, and in an hour or so strolled out again with $6,000 of Daly’s money in his inside pocket. The next night he called again and walked away $1,500 ahead. There were other gentlemen who strolled in during the evening, however, who probably made good, and more, any deficiency which the lucky New Yorker might have created in Mr. Daly’s cash on hand. Play- ing is heavy here, and the dinners and with their costly viands and rare ich are served each night in the Pe nia and Long Branch Clubs, can ll afforded by the proprietors. All o is of course is carried on in viola- tion of law, but suchisthe character of the gambling and the position of those who indulge init that it will probably take a strower power than any Mr. Dun- ham can bring to bear to do away with it. Gambling at Baden-Baden was finally stopped, and that at Long Branch may sometime be put an end to; but as lon as it is carried on in the manner it is, an publio sentiment is what it is here, I see no probability of the law being enforced. COURTSHIP IN GREENLAND, Ardent Lovers Must Sometimes Find It Vexa- tious to Have to Employ a Go- Between. From the Manchester Courier. The preacher is invariably resorted to, both by young men and maidens, as the matrimonial agent. A young man comes to the missionary’s house and says to him: I want to marry.” ‘‘Whom?” asks the missionary. you any one in mind?” Mes,“ answers the lover; „but she will not have me. I want you to speak to her?“ Have you not spoken for yourself?“ „Many times, but she always says ‘No.’ IL That is nothing,“ says the . — ¥you | know the ways of maidens. oes she like ou ?? ’ Have „eit is difficult to find out.

That is a pity,” says the minister, „be- cause I have a good husband for thee.”’ Who is he?’’ she asks. The missionary then tells her his name —although she knows it as well as he does —and launches out into the lover’s praise. He is strong, good-looking, kindly; he aught two fine whales when his compan- ions took none, or whatever else can be said to hisrepute. After the catalogue of his merits has been recited, the girl re- lies: 4 „But I think him a good-for-nothing.“ „Ah, well!“ says the missionary, thou art not wise. There is no lad can fling a harpoon as he can. I shall soon find him a wife.” He then wishes the girl a good day, af- fecting to believe that. the interview is over. But she is sure to linger, and after a blush and sigh she whispers, ‘‘So it is * ms your wish, Herr Pastor? I do not quite like him,” with a deep sigh, “but if you——.” At this point she virtually hands over the business to the minister, who has to tell her thatshe knows she loves the lad; that she would not have come if she had not thought of accepting him, and that nothing is wanting but to ask the blessing of God upon their union.

From the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle. lt has been said that the hurts suffered | y severe, and s equal the pain re- from a blow of the fist squarely delivered upon the nose. An A lion tamer in one of the Boulevard shows was set upon by a powerful and irritable old lion, whose cage he had entered according to habit the course of an entertainment. The beast made his attack without warn- ing or particular cause, andin an instant the man was upon his back between the lion’s paws. The spectators screamed, thinking it was an end of the lion-tamer, but, like a flash, he was upon his feet, and, striking out with his right in accu- rate pugilistic style, landed his fist upon the lion’s nose with a spat that was heard all over the place. The lion wheezed and sneezed and backed away, shaking his head and shutting his eyes as if dazed, while the man stepped quickly, but with dignity, out of the cage. The thos was a good one and if it had fallen upon a man would have undoubtedly ‘‘knocked him out.“ Evidently it made the lion le from the spot where it was deliv te the tip of his tail. HER OLD AND HER NEW LOVE. 0 Leonora Can't Decide Which te Marry Maybe She’ll Lose Both. From the Ohio State Journal. > About two weeks ago the society circles of Memphis, Tenn., were surprised with invitations issued by Mrs. U. Calhoun of that city for the marriage of her daugh- ter, Miss Leonora, to Dr. George W. Hog- lan of Columbus, O., at the Central Bap- tist Church of Memphis. The reception was announced to occur at the resi- dence, 57 Mosley street, at 8:30 p. m. Elaborate preparations for the event were made, a fine trousseau being rovided. The wedding was to be a rilliant affair and all the arrange- ments had been completed, the bride- maids, ushers and attendants being se- lected. But, a few days before the wedding was to occur, a paragraph published in one of the Memphis papers stated that on account of the illness of Miss Calhoun the ceremony had been indefinitely post- poned. . But behind all this was something with a meaning. A few nights previous the bride, accompanied by her brother, had departed with profound secresy to an un- known destination. The reason (for this sudden departure reveals a story of love. When Leonora Walcott was quite a child she was adopted by Mr. M. Calhoun, her mother being a niece of that gentleman. Leonora was tenderly cared for, and received a thorough education, graduating from a seminary last year. Before leaving school the young lady had romised her hand to an ardent admirer. ut among her acquaintances became numbered the young physician, and, after a long absence an marked attention from her new admirer, she returned, be- lieving that Dr. Hoglan was the object of her love, and that the old had given place tothe new. To her Memphis lover she imparted her convictions, and the matter was settled. With these relations thetwo parted, and afterward seldom saw eachother. Prep- arations for the marriage followed, and then it was she began to think seriously over the step she was taking,and the more she thought over the matter the more firmly she seemed to be convinced that she could not fulfill her promise. Mrs. Cal- houn was informed by her of the stateof affairs, and, entreating advice, the Doc- tor was written a letter of revelation. Mrs. O. F. Walcott of this city, the real mother of the girl, arrived to attend the wedding with her son, who, learning of his sister’s difficulty, volunteered to assist, her. Dr. Hoglan also arrived in Memphis and the situation was freely discussed, ending by his return home. Last Saturday Miss Leonora arrived here and wentto the home of her step- father, Mr. C. F. Walcott, and arrange- ments were made for what promised to be a settlement of the estrangement between the lovers. Arrangements were again made for the wedding, and the date fixed for last Peep The minister who was engaged to perform the ceremony arrived and the contracting parties prepared for the event. But the spell was broken, and the minister was dismissed with the knot still untied. Mr. Wal- cott stated Tuesday night that he had made his last attempt to reconciie the lovers and secure their marriage. Last Wednesday he got the parties together at Cincinnati, but to no avail. They could arrive at no agreement. What had been the cause of the postponement of the affair Tuesday he did not know, and he could not say when they would be mar- ried. The whole matter stands a — — between the two persons concerned, and what the result will be no shadow of it has been forecast. Time, perhaps a day or so, may settle the matter and find the young couple joined happily in the bonds of matrimony. 2 FIVE O’CLOCK TEA. Diamonds no longer indicate wealth any more than slang passes for refine- ment. Pine pillows are quite the fashion, aside from the benefits said to result from their use. Bell harnesa on pet dogs in summer is said to have a tendency to make them sort of canine-maniacs. Peach-blown chinaware is seen at some country houses whose owners keep up with processions. Some of the new houses in town are fur- nished with siver-plated grate-fenders and dogs instead of brass. In Vienna novelties a pin-cushion, jewel and manicure box all combined, in plush, is something admired. Gainesborough hats are as fashionable as they were two seasons ago, and, if any- thing, a trifle larger. At the watering places some of the women have their tulle sunshades orna- mented with artificial ‘‘Jack roses on top. e Birch-bark stationery is quite exten- sively used this season,and every one pro- fesses enthusiasm over it.

Fancy and tent temperance drinks * remarked a physician on the staff of the Health Department to a Mail and Express reporter recently, ‘‘are the most pernicious decoctions, asa rule, & man can put down his throat. ‘*Pbysicians,’’ he continued, are silent as to the danger to the system of the use of the soda-water made in lead generators and fla- vored with artifical extracts, but they suggest no substitutes wherewith to quench, the thirst which afflicts the human race under extreme heat, and are er to inveigh against those abominable de- coctions which are now being vended on the streets and in saloons and restaurants under the peeudonyme of ‘apple,’ ‘orange’ and ‘russet’ cider.’ ”’ What is there poisonous about these ciders?’’ »There is nothing deleterious about pure cider. There is no better beverage manufactured. There is something at- tractive in the word ‘cider.’ It is sugges- tive of a feeling of coolness to the —— ing frame without recourse to cobblers or juleps; of the assuaging of thirst by a fluid of grateful acidity and pleasant flavor containing sufficient alcohol to preven injurious effects from a hearty, refrigerat- a i en yet not sufficient to intoxi- ca Then these are not pure cider?’’ Pure?

From the Albany Journal Onthe summit of Washington Moun- tain, overlooking the Housatonic Valley, stood a hut, the home of John Barry, a poor charcoal burner, whose family con- sisted of his wife and himself. His occu- pation brought him in only a few dollars, and when cold weather came he had man- aged to get together only a small pro- vision for the winter. After a sum- summer of hard work he felt sick and was unable to keep his fires going. So when the snow of December, 1874, fell and the drifts bad shut off communication with the village at the foot of the moun- tain, John and his wife were in great straits. Their entire stock of food consisted of only a few pounds of salt pork anda bushel of potatoes. Sugar. coffee, flour and. tea had, early in December, given out, and the chances for replenishing the larder were slim indeed. The snowstorms came — and the drifts deepened. All the roads, even in the valley, were impass- able, and no one thought of trying to open the mountain highways, which even in summer were only occasionally trav- eled and none gave the old man and his wife a thought. December 15 came and with it the heavi- est fall of snow experienced in Berkshire County ip many years. The food of the old couple was now reduced to aday’s supply, but John did not yet despair. e was a God-fearing man, and so, when evenin came John and his wife were praying an asking for help. In Sheffield village, ten miles away, lived Deacon Brown, a well-to-do farmer. The Deacon and his wife had goneto bed early, and, in spite of the storm raging without, were sleeping soundly, when, with a start, the Dea- con awoke and said to his wife: Who spoke? Who's there?“ Why.“ said his wife, no one is here but you and ‘Send food to John.’’’ Nonsense, “ re- —.— Mrs. Brown. go to sleep. You ave been dreaming.” The Deacon laid his head on his pillow and was asleep in a minute. Soon he started up again and, waking his wife, said; There, I heard that voice again: Send food to John.“ Well, well,“ said Mrs. Brown. ‘‘Dea- con, you are not well; your supper has not agreed with you. Lie down and try and sleep.” Again the Deacon closed his eyes and again the voice was heard: Send food to John.“ This time tbe Deacon was thoroughly awake. Wife, said he, ho do we know named John who needs food?” Noone I remember.“ replied Mrs. charcoal-burner on the mountain.” That's it,“ exclaimed the Deacon. Now [remember, when I was at the store the other day, Clark, speaking of John Barry, said: ‘I wonder if the old man is alive, for it is six weeks since I saw him, and he has not yet laid in his winter stock of gro- ceries.’ It must be old John is sick and wanting food.“ So saying, the good Deacon arose and proceeded to dress himself. Come wife,” said he, waken Willie and tell him to feed the horses and get ready to go with me, and do you pack up in the two larg- est baskets you haveagood supply of food, and get us an — he reakfast, for I am going up the mountain tocarry the food I know John Barry nerds.” That ten-mile ride, which required in the sum- mer hardly an hour or two, was not fin- ished until the Deacon’s watch showed that five hours had passed.

A lion tamer in one of the Boulevard shows was set upon by a powerful and irritable old lion, whose cage e had entered according to habit in the course of an entertainment. The beast made his attack without warn- ing or particular cause, and in an instant the man was upon his back between the lion’s paws. The spectators screamed, thinking it was an end of the lion-tamer, but, like a flash, he was upon his feet, and, striking out with his right in accu- rate pugilistic style, landed his fist upon the lion’s nose with a spat that was heard allover the place. The lion wheezed and sneezed and backed away, shaking. his bead and shutting his eyés as if dazed, while the man stepped quickly, but with dignity, out of the cage. The blow was a good one and if it had fallen upon a man would have undoubtedly ‘‘knocked him out.“ Evidently it made the lion le from the spot where it was deliv te the tip of his tail. HER OLD AND HER NEW LOVE. 0 Leonora Can't Decide Which te Marry Maybe She’ll Lose Both. From the Ohio State Journal. > About two weeks ago the society circles of Memphis, Tenn., were surprised with invitations issued by Mrs. U. Cathoun of that city for the marriage of her daugh- ter, Miss Leonora, to Dr. George W. Hog- lan of Columbus, O., at the Central Bap- tist Church of Memphis. The reception was announced to occur at the resi- dence, 57 Mosiey street, at 8:30 p. m. Elaborate preparations for the event were made, a fine trousseau being ab me The wedding was to be a rilliant affair and all the arrange- ments had been completed, the bride- maids, ushers and attendants being se- lected. But, a few days before the wedding was to occur, a paragraph published in one of the Memphis papers stated that on account of the illness of Miss Calhoun the ceremony had been indefinitely post- poned. 0 But behind all this was something with a meaning. A few nights previous the bride, accompanied by her brother, had departed with profound secresy to an un- known destination. The reason for this sudden departure reveals a story of love. When Leonora Walcott was quite a child she was adopted by Mr. M. Calhoun, her mother being a niece of that gentleman. Leonora was tenderly cared for, and received a thorough education, graduating from a seminary last year. Before leaving school the young lady had romised her hand to an ardent admirer. ut among her acquaintances became numbered the young physician, and, after a long absence and marked attention from her new admirer, she returned, be- lieving that Dr. Hoglan was the object of her love, and that the old had given place tothe new. To her Memphis lover she imparted her convictions, and the matter was settled. With these relations thetwo parted, and afterward seldom saw eachother. Prep- arations for the marriage followed, and then it was she began to think seriously over the step she was taking,and the more she thought over the matter the more firmly she seemed to be convinced that she could not fulfill her promise. Mrs. Cal- houn was informed by her of the stateof affairs, and, entreating advice, the Doc- tor was written a letter of revelation. Mrs. O. F. Walcott of this city, the real mother of the girl, arrived to attend the wedding with her son, who, learning of his sister’s difficulty, volunteered to assist her. Dr. Hoglan also arrived in Memphis and the situation was freely discussed, ending by his return home. Last Saturday Miss Leonora arrived here and wentto the home of her step- father, Mr. C. F. Walcott, and arrange- ments were made for what promised to be a settlement of the estrangement between the lovers. Arrangements were again made for the wedding, and the date fixed for last The minister who was engaged to perform the ceremony arrived and the contracting parties prepared for the event. But the spell was broken, and the minister was dismissed with the knot still untied. Mr. Wal- cott stated Tuesday night that he had made his last attempt to reconciie the lovers and secure their marriage. Last Wednesday he got the parties together at Cincinnati, but to no avail. They could arrive at no agreement. What had been the cause of the postponement of the affair Tuesday he did not know, and he could not say when they would be mar- ried. The whole matter stands a mystery between the two persons concern and what the resuit will be no shadow of it has been forecast. Time. perhaps a day or so, may settle the matter and find the young couple joined happily in the bonds of matrimony. FIVE O’CLOCK TEA. Diamonds no longer indicate wealth any more than slang passes for refine- ment. Pine pillows are quite the fashion, aside from the benefits said to result from their use. Bell harnesa on pet dogs in summer is said to have a tendency to make them sort of canine-maniacs. Peach-blown chinaware is seen at some country houses whose owners keep up with processions. Some of the new houses in town are fur- nished with siver-plated grate-fenders and dogs instead of brass. In Vienna novelties a pin-cushion, — and manicure box all combined, in plush, is something admired. 3 Gainesborough hats are as fashionable as they were two seasons ago, and, if any- thing, a trifle larger. At the watering places some of the women have their tulle sunshades orna- mented with artificial ‘‘Jack” roses on top. | ; Birch-bark stationery is quite exten- sively used this season, and every one pro- fesses enthusiasm over it. The latest nonsense recommended for a beautiful complexion is to rub the face pnight and morning with olive oil.

MAYOR ALLEN’sS haste in signing the Gould terminal bill was doubtless due to a desire to accelerate the beginning of work on the new Union Depot.

As soon as the war-tariff gang shake off their provincial- ism and the ignorance which it entails, their opinions on the subject of taxation may be more successful in commanding the serious attention of intelligent people. Birt NYE, who now writes exclusively for the New York Womp, has sued Ruopes & McCLure, Chicago publishers, for $20,000, for infringement of copy- right. This firm has published a volume of NyY&’s sketches, some of which are copyrighted, without asking his consent or advising him of the fact. This is a species of Chicago enterprise which should not be encouraged. Tun Globe-Democrat has experienced a sudden change of heart and mind in reference to Missouri and its attractions. It says: Missouri offers inducements to **the settler which can be obtained in but **few among even the most highly favored States. For many years the G.-D. has labored industriously to produce the impression that Missouri is the worst place on the face of the earth for a settler to locate in. But it is never too late to recant and reform. MicHnakL BOWKER, a New Jersey Prohi- bitionist, was recently bitten by a snake dollar for every day that Mr. BLA i at home from nos till June next. — and was compelled to drink a quart of rare and fragrant old applejack to save his life. The nauseating dose acted like a charm and Mr. BOWKER is now well. It jg a sad old world in which the conscien- tious Prohibitionist must not only run the risk of snake-bites, which menaces both the just and the unjust, but, in the event of such bites, must get drunk to save his life. Every temperance pledge should contain a snake proviso. THE BOODLER’S PATE. Boodlers and ballot-box stuffers have recently been sent in squads from Balti- more to the penitentiary. Sing Sing has closed its gates on other squads from New York. Chicago has just added eleven more convictions to her former triumphs over the fraternity, and Canada holds quite a crowd of ward politicians who are fugitives from justice. Here in St. Louis we have not done enough in that line. A few ballot-box stuffers in the penitentiary and a record of one or two boodlers convicted but par- doned through “inflooence” and political pulls do not suffice to prevent a gang long spotted by public opinion from swarming about the lobbies of the Munici- pal Assembly as advocates of bills giv- ing away millions of dollars worth of fran- chises for nothing, while the house the poor man lives in is taxed two and a half per cent on its full valuation. It is through these spotted men that the average tax-payer has to sue for favors at the City Hall, where they exercise an influence and authority discreditable to our citizen- ship and notoriously enlisted in boodle enterprises. Like other men in their line of business, like TWEED and JacoB SuHakP, they forget the fate of the pitcher that goes often to the well. Snakr. for twenty years a suc- cessful boodler in ward politics, is now sentenced to the penitentiary, and all of his ill-gotten gains cannot avert his doom. There are men in St. Louis treading in his tracks and a similar fate awaits them. Their self-confident sense of security, their very reliance on the power of boodle influence will betray them at last. They are rushing things at a dangerous gait in the Municipal Assembly. They should give that body a little rest, and for de- cency’s sake a little chance to show that it is there for some other purpose besides passing bills with boodle in them. THE TWO SYSTEMS. When a vote in the House of Commons forces a reference of the issue directly to the people, and the formation of a new ministry in harmony with the popular majority follows, a question is raised in the American mind whether this very democratic feature of the British Govern- ment may not place that Government more directly under popular control than ours is placed by our system of elections. The present situation in England seems to be a conclusive answer to this question. A Tory ministry, sustained by a large coalition majority in the House, is now boasting of its ability to govern contrary to the clearest manifestations of the pop- ular will at the bye elections, until the general election five years hence. A lease of power obtained from the people by political intrigue and a fraudulent pre- sentation of the issues, can be held and exercised throughout the entire period of a septennial Parliament, no matter how soon after the election the fraud may be exposed, or how clearly the popular opposition to the ministerial policy may be indicated. The only check upon the success of this programme is the feeble influence whith a desire for re- election to an unsalaried position may have on the ministerial supporters who find themselves at variance with a major- ity of their constituents. They can rea- sonably count on new issues and new op- portunities for squaring themselves with their constituencies before five years roll around. In other words, the House of Commons is as independent of the popular will as ours would be if the members held their seats for seven years instead of two. The result is that the Executiveis more remote from the people than ours, which must go to the poils every four years. The respon- sibility of the Executive to a House elected for seven years cannot subject either the Executive or the Legislature to popular control or to the influence of public opin- ion as directly as our system of electing a House and one-third of the Senate every two years and a President every four. — — . — SENATOR STANFORD’s attention was talled to a certain case at law in which the allegation was made that E. B. CROCKER had entered into a contract with WELLS, FarGo & Co., guaranteeing that express company exclusive transportation over the Central Pacific, and that there- upon the express company’s stock had been watered from $10,000,000 to $15,000,000 and $1,500,000 of it given without consider- ation to STANFORD, CROCKER, HopKINs and HUNTINGTON. When asked if this allegation was true Senator STanrorp’s answer was: ‘‘I don’t think it is.” Toa direct question whether he had grossly be- crayed his trust as a railroad official, and conspired with others to wrong the com- pany, the public and the United States Governnient, this Uni tes Senator could not say no, and had to return a halting and evasive answer, when ques- tioned on the witness stand by the Pacific Railroad Commission. — W THE United States army is again at work heading off the Oklahoma ‘‘boom- ers.“ This is in accordance with law, but it does not look exactly right, because the same army which is now used to prevent | the settlement, civilization and derslap The Times says: ‘‘A degree of interest quite it in the President's proposed.

How the Old Peddler Ran the Gauntiet of Two Armies—Playing Spy and Reaping a Golden Harvest—Fancy Prices He Used to Charge—Some Romantic Tales Punct- ured by a St. Louis Gentleman. The publication in the Posr-Disraron last night of the death of Pardaw Warsley, the old wer character, has revived many interesting reminiscences. The dispatch was sent out by the Associated Press from Jamestown, N. T., where the old man died. Prob- ably there was no figure connected with the war which was more unique and picturesque than Warsley. His double life, one day with the Confederates, the next day up North, gave his history «a a touch of romance, and his relations to Mosby, the raider, gave his experiences a thrilling coloring. The sly old man Was as sly after the war as before. He „never told his love. It was hard to get him to unravel his mysterious connection with the Confederacy, and when- ever he did speak it was to tellsome improba- ble yarn, no doubt to keep his neighbors from learning the facts that were woven into the five years that made his life memaroble. It was no doubt this reticence on one hand and the disposition to draw the long bow that made it so difficult to get at the exact history of his life. No more accurate and entertaining review of Warsley’s double life will be printed than that which Mr. John W. Munson of this city has brought out of his personal recollections. Mr. Munson thus tells about Warsley: AN INTERESTING STORY. The telegram from Jamestown, N. T., an- nouncing the death of Warsley, a former Union spy, in so far as it pertains to Col. Mosby, is very inaccurate. I was riding with Col. Mosby one day, in 1864, starting out on a scouting trip, when one of our men rode up and informed the Colonel that a ‘‘ Yankee ped- dier’’ had just driven into Middleburg (Lou- don County, Va.) with a wagon-load of oods. We met old ‘‘Warsley,’’ as he old us his name was, a te hours after, sitting in his wagon with his wife by his side. Col. Mosby asked him afew questions and got very straightfor- ward, plausible answers, and with no more delay said to him: Naw, Warsley, let's un- derstand each other from the start. You are a Yankee spy sent up here to try to catch me or my men, but we have been catching sutlers too long to be caught by as poor a specimen as vou. I want to make use of you—and as 1 intend you shall make money by it I am not afraid to trust you. I want you to do the shoppin for my command. We will give you orders to fill in Baltimore and Washington—and you bring us the goods and make your big profit on them—and I will protect you. Ifanyof my men harm youl will punish them. You can carry this on just as long as you choose, for you have only to report to your masters in Washington after you return there from each trip after me, that ou have not guite caught me yet, but you ope to do 80 the next time. Don’t you see? Now I'll give my men notice that they can begin making up their orders for you at once. ecolleet, I don’t object to your taking back all the in- formation you choose, nor to your trying to catch me orthe men. Ifit amuses you it don’t hurt us. Alll require of vou for the protection I grant you, instead of having you shot, is that you fillall our orders promptly. What do you say?’’ BIT AT THE BAIT. Old Warsley wastoo smarta trader not to see that this was a grand chance for him, and he not only accepted the Colonel’s offer, but lived > to it honestly and made plenty of money byit. At the first meeting with him I gave him an order for eight yards of gray 1 with all the necessary buff and gold trimmings, buttons, lining, etc., for anobby suit; also for a soft bat witha gold cordand ostrich plume, also a pair of fine cavalry boots, and lastly, forthe handsomest doll baby he could find in Baltimore. Col. Mosby ordered a sack of coffee and some other goods. Warsley went back loaded wiih orders, and in due time he came back with every order filled.

He not only filled orders for ‘‘Mosby’s men, but for citizens generally, buying any article ordered. We looked upon bim asa Godsend, and never thought of being suspicious of him. We knew our man too well. Haa the authorities in Washington who employed him not seen through his little ame and put a stop to it, he micht ave kept v3 his peddling till the end of the war. Finally when he was found out“ b his employers, he informed on some Balti- more merchants who had sold him goods knowing they were to go South and had them arrested. This is the only thing we had against him. SOME DENIALE&. * Col. Mosby fever tried to catch him, for Warsley admitted very frangly who he was as soon as he heard the Colqnel’s favorable proposition. Nor did the Colonel ever set any bandsome young lady to spy upon him,’’ and — — never led any handsome young lady through swamps and by-roads, for is Union passes and Mosby’s protection made traveling along the main turnpike much handier.Mosby never put a pistol to Warsley’s head; never threatened to shoot him; never fought a duel with Gen. Lee’s nephew about him; never became his warm friend. Gen. Lee never had anephew who was a Lieutenant inthe army. Mosby never was surrounded in a house twice and cut his way out; Warsley never gave information of his whereabouts, enabling Union soldiers to surround bim, and never ‘‘on several occasions got information of Mosby’s intended Talds on Washington in time to allow the au- thorities to mass their forces and eave the Capital, for the reason that Mosby never was &bigenough fool to contemplate a raid on Washington with his handful of men;and if he had been, the authorities would not have been compelled to do much massing to save the Capital.

GALVESTON, Tex., August 6.—Late returns from the elections on the prohibition amend- mentshow its defeat by 70,000 majority, with eighty counties yet to hear from. It is claimed by the anti-Prohibitionists that full returns will give a majority of 100,000 against the amendment. Of the 248 counties so far heard from only eight give prohibition majorities. Tarrant County, in which Fort Worth is lo- Cated, gives a majority of 285 for prohibition. Harris County has gone strongly against it, und the returns so far received from the South- West show the defeat of the amendment in that section by over 20,000, Bexar County of which au Antonio is the seat, gives 5, rity gener it. It is estimated that it has been efeated in Anderson County by between 600 snd 800 votes. Fannin County gives 1,298 majority for prohibition, The eastern coun- ties of the State seems to probibition, giving an estimated majority that ay of 25 000, Gregg County gives 260 anti- ty smith Neuces, Eastland and other counties Ow large anti-prohibition majorities.

Monday—Insurance Notes. On Monday the first prosecution in the mat- ter of the Order of the Iron Hall will begin. C. P. Ellerbe is to-day preparing the informa- tion, which will be filed on Monday, when a warrant will be issued for the arrest of the official accused of doing business as an unauthorized agent of an i! insurance — F. D. Somerby, the J of the Order, was n St. ntment, dut in all proba- — 8 by —1＋ lity he thought it more desirable to keep out ot a city where he had been treated n- so u ously. It ts jas one week to-day since e Supreme Chief Justicetold a Post- Arch reporter that the Order had made every preparation to comply with the recently enacted assessment insurance law and had a bond ready to be fledon Monday. The bond has not been filed and the law has not been complied with by the order, nor had an paration been made for compliance, an mmissioner Carr the order cannot comply with the law as long as it retains the endowment feature of insurance, which is its principal attraction to ers. The dissolution of Branch 229 and defections from other branches have created an element 80 1 — to the order that prosecu- tions willbe easy to begin. The information being prepared by Mr. Ellerbe is on a cer- tificate of insurance and two receipts given to M. K. Lewis, the ex-Supreme Chief Justice, and by him furnished to the attorney for the rtment. The certificate, which en- titles Mr. Lewis to articipation in the relief fund, was issued local Branch No. 93. Under section 6016 (a), M. A. Cooper, account- ant of that branch, ts charged first with acting as nt and solicitor for an association of in- dividuals known as the Order of the Iron Hall, and e in transaction of in- surance business before having obtained authority from the Insurance Commis- sioner to act as such agent and solicitor. Cooper is charged, second, with acting as agent and solicitor for the above association before such association of individuals has been authorized to transact life insurance business in the State of Missouri. Part of the root is two receipts, one given March 17, 1887 eother Febru 3,1 for dues of $1 and I of 2. 30 each, by M. A. Cooper to . wis. This information will probably result in the extinction of the order in Missour!. If it does not the department will procure other proof and proceed against all other accountants of branches until the order is driven out. Commissioner Carr this morning received the following letter from tue Auditor of Indi- ana, to whom he wrote regarding the standin of the Iron Hall. It is a remarkable offici communication,more for what it does not con- taip than for its facts. The commissioner calls names is not evidence of his relationship to the Indiana Auditor: Hon. Alfred Carr, Commissioner of Insurance, St. Louis, Mo. My Dear Str—Your favor of the 3d at hand. We cnow nothing officially of the Order of the Iron Hall as to ite insurance features or other- wise. Our law makes a distinction as to insurance societies that solicit purely and solely through a secret order, und has no reg- ularly appointed agents outside. Iam not in- formed asto the standing of the Iron Hall here. Yours very truly, BRUCE CARR. Indianapolis, August 56, 1887. C. P. Ellerbe has n engaged in supplying the Prosecuting-Attorney of St. rancis County, Merrill Pipkin, to proceed against one Brown, who is under arrest for acting as agent for the Globe Mutual Reserve of Balti- more, a wildcat veyard insurance Globe insures any being for any one who will pay the premiums. It is the worst vee concern lever heard of, said Mr. Ellerbe. Mr. Pipkin is one of the most faithful officers the department has ever called upon to assist it in prosecuting such offenders as Brown. The agent went through the St. Joe Lead- works and the mines inthe vicinity and did a great business until he was arrested for obtaining money under false pretenses. THE FIRST NIGHT IN JAIL, The Convicted Boodlers Pass a Cheerless Night—A Nice Breakfast. Curcaco, III., August 6.—The convicted boodlers, Wren, McClougbrey, Wasser- man, Ochs, Van Pelt, Leyden and Var- nell, whospentthe nightin the county jail, did not rest well lastnight. Wren and Varnell did not undress, the latter evidently dreading to contaminate himself by allowing his 35 underwear, purchased at the expense of the county, to touch a prison bed. They were all up b 7 o'clock and sat around gloomily enough until 8:30 a. m. when four ebony-hued waiters from a neigh- boring hotel appeared, and in a few minutes later set a table in the third gallery of the boys’ department of the jail, where breakfast was served. The meal consisted of beelfsteak garnished with sliced tomatoes, baked potatoes, toast and coffee. The waiters were as obliging as though tn an aristocratic man- sion, and caused Van Pelt to remark that the jailwas good enough for him as long as the style lasted. A TERRIBLE TRAGEDY. Capt. Woolfalk, His Wife, Four Children and Another Woman Found Murdered. Macon, Ga., August 6.—Information has just been received of a most horrible tragedy occurring last night, about twelve miles from here, in this county. The report says that Capt. Richard Woolfalk, a well-known farmer; his wife, four children and Mrs. West, an aunt of Mrs. Woolfalk, were found murdered in the house this morning, having been knocked in the head and their throats cut. Tom G. Wool- talk, son of Capt. Woolfalk by his first wite, is suspected of the crime and was arrested. The Deputy Sheriffand the Coroner went out to the scene of the murders. Owing to the dis- tance from thecity full particulars cannot be had just now. ORDERED TO LEAVE. The Mystery of Farmer John Carmichael Solved at Last. By Telegraph to the PosT-DISraTca.

FIGHTING FOR LIFE JERRY PAGELS’ ATTORNEYS MAKING DES- PERATE EFFORTS TO SAVE HIM. Their Application for a Writ of Error Be- fased by Justice Harlan, and Forwarded to Justice Miller—The Latter Ex- pected to Pass on the Case at Once—The Constitutional Points Involved—Should the Application Be Refused the Insanity Dodge Will Be Tried—The Condition of the Next Candidate for the Gallows. Messrs. Kinealy and Bullock, attorneys for Jerry Pagels, who is sentenced to hang on Friday next, state thatthey have not been to sec Judge Harlan of the United States Supreme Court, but did make application to him for a writ of error. They were ap- pointed by the Court to defend Pagelis, and consequently received no pay for their work in the case. As they had already ex- pended all the money they could afford out of their own pockets on the case, they were un- able to go on to Washington to make appli- cation in person to Judge Harlan for a writ of error. They prepared their brief and sent it on, and also wrote hima let- ter explaining matters. They made applica- tion to Justice Harlin because he was the most accessible of the United States Supreme Court Judges, being the only one who was in Washington. Their time was so brief that they had to apply to the most convenient Judge, it being necessary in case the writ was granted to have the record sent to the Clerk of the United States Supreme Court at Washington and have him issue the writ staying the execution. Judge Harian tel- egraphed them that he would have to re- fuse them the writ, but that they could opply toany of the other Judges of the court hey so desired. They then requested him to send on their brief and the record to Justice Miller at Biock Island, and at the same time wrote the latter a letter explaining matters. It is expected that he received both the record and their letter this morning. JUSTICE HARLAN having telegraphed them that he had sent the record and brief to Justice Miller as requested. The attorneys have requested the latter judge to notify them by telegraph if the writ is re- fused, and to notify the Clerk of the Criminal granted and to send brief and record to the Clerk of the United States Supreme Court at Washington so he can make out the writ. Itisclaimed thatatelegram from the Judge announcing the granting of the writ is sufficient to stay the execution of Pagels un- til the writ itself can be issued. THE CONSTITUTIONAL POINTS on which it is hoped to secure the writ Ww out ofthe fourteenth amendment, which is very broad in its meaning. Itis claimed that Pagels is being deprived of his life without due process oflaw. There is a law in this State which provides that a man shall be tried by ajury of citizens. One ot the jurymen in the Pagels’ case had not taken out his final naturalization papers, although he had de- clared his intention to do sesome two years previously. The defense challenged him, bat the Court would not sustain the challenge, holding that as the man had taken out his first papers and declared his intention of tak ing out his second pavers he was practically a citizen and a competent juror. Paygels’ at- terneys hold that he could not be a citizen until he had taken out his final papers. Ashe was not a eitkzen and was per- mitted to sit on the jury, they hold that the fourteenth amendment was violated, and the defendant deprived of his life without due process of law. Another of their points grows out of this one, being but a continuation of it, they holding that the Court’s denial of their challenge to the juror was aviolation of the same provision of the fourteenth amendment. NOT MUCH FAITH has been placed on the points either by at- torneys here generally or Messrs Kinealy and Bullock themselves. They merely think there is a possibility of there being a Federal ques- tion involved, and want to secure every pos- sible technicality for their client. In case they fail to secure the writ of error from Judge Millerthey will probably ask for a Sheriffs jury inguire into Pageis’ sanity. They are now making inquiries to ascertain what testimony they con secure tending to show hisinsanity. This is a forlorn hope, however, as Pageis has really never dis- played any symptoms of mental disorder. The onty thing favorable to their insanity theory is some of Pageis’ relatives died in Insane sesylums, and that Hugh Mottram Brooks, or Maxwell, believes at Pagels is consequently insane. Insanity has been set up so often in murder cases asa plea that the public have lost all confidence in these claims. and unless they are supported by very stron evidence a man’s chance for escaping the gat lows in that manner is very slender indeed. PAGELS’ CRIME Was very cold-blooded. He was the foreman ofa tannery in the sorthern part of the city and became jealous of Samuel Kohn, the fore- man ofa rivaitannery in the same section, 1. his industry, had secured considera- bie trade from Pagels, who was given to drink and generally neglected his business. He threatened Kohn’s life and on the day of the murder, November 10, 1885, visited the tan- nery where the latter was employed and had him called out. When Kohn came to the door Pagels shot him down and went around town boasting of his act. He remained in hid- ing or several days, but was finally captured at a saloon on Chouteau avenue where he was playing cards and drinking. Unless the United States Supreme Court interferes in his case,the death watch willbe placed on Pagels Wednesday morning, and he will be hanged on Friday. It will be the first time a white man has been hanged here for several years. - LIVING IN CLOVER. * AStatement From Markham, the Forging British Naval Paymaster. CHICAGO, August 6.—William Hogg Woolsey Markham, the forging paymaster of the Brit- ish navy, occupies a cell with Carlist, the wife murderer, in the county jail, while waiting extradition papers. He said this morning that the Pinkertons had grossly misrepre- sented him in the published accounts of his connection with the woman Flossie Sumner. He had been led into a shameful life with her, but had not squandered the $17,000 he secured from the forgery upon ber. He said he would beable to vindicate himself in his trial which will come off at Hong Kong, and untilthen proposes to keep very quiet. He has received remittances from English friends. His meals are served from tne res- taurants, and an improvised book- case is filled with books and periodicals. He smokes choice cigars, and bas all the dally papers. Second District Court.

Blickhahn this morning completed his post-mortem examination on the body of James Barnes, whose death was shrouded in some mystery. The proprietor of the house, $15 South Fourteenth street, where Barnes died, thought it a case of suicide by strychnine poisoning, but as there was no evidence of the contraction of the muscies and suffering which usually follows the use of this drug, the Coroner determined to investigate. Dr. Blickhahn found the heart and kidneys of Barnes so yy Ronee ey they were sufficient to have produced death. He also found strychnine in the stomach, how- ever, and his opinion is that there was 80 little evidence of the usual effects of the drug because the heart and kidneys were so far ne that when taken the poison produced eath almost instantly. A verdict of suicide was accordingly rendered. Thieves and Their Plunder. — RI 2 3 — of Six Pure Solid Silver TEASPOONS!! MERMOD & JACCARD . “+ — — 2 — .

By Telegraph to the PosT-DISPATCH. New York, August 6.—In George Drum- mond, an emaciated young man who breathed his last on a cot in St. Luke’s Hospital yester- day morning, few people would have recog- nized a Scotch nobleman whose romantic career has created for him an intereston both gides of the Atlantic. His full name and title was Lord George Essex Montife Drummond, He was in his 3lst year, having been born on September 3, 1856. For some time past Lord Drummond had been suffering from consump- tion, and only recently, at the instance of the British consulate, he was provided with a bed in St. Luke’s. The deceased had long been estranged from his Scotch rela-. tives and leaves a wife and child with no means of obtaining a livell- hood, except through the charity of strangers. Before he attained his majority Lord Drum- mond developed’ democratic tendencies and created a walt bebe con himself and the other members of his — by contracting a mar- riage which his blue - blooded relatives pleased to term a mesalliance. His wife was certainly not his equal in social position, but she pos- sessed a good education, was of a good family, retty and of a lovable disposition. hat she really loved her noble hus- band is proven by the fact that all through his unfortunate career she has clung tohim and endesvored asfar as wasin her power to recompense him for THE POSITION HE HAD SACRIFICED. Lord Drummond’s family made many over- tures for a reconciliation, but always with the condition that the young man should discard his wife and couform to their idea of uphold- ing the dignity of the name of Drummond.The Earl of Perth, Lord Drummond’s grandfather, and to whose title and property he would have succeeded had he lived, was the most active and persistent in proposing this basis for a reconciliation. isgusted by the narrow-mindedness of his kinsfolk and grieved that they should think him base enough to accept such a condition, Lord Drummond came to America, determined to carve out a future for himself. For a time he succeeded fairly weil and was able to provide a comfortable home for his wife and child. At the time when his prospects seemed brighter, he began to developed symptoms of consumption, and finaily when he became un- able to work and his funds were exhausted he was forced to seek and accept assistance from the British Consul. Just before his death, realizing that his days were numbered, he expressed a wish to live long enough to take his wife and child to En- gland. There he would make one more effort to effect an honorable reconciliation. Could he accomplish this he said he would die con- tented; Mrs. Drummond or more properly Lady Drummond, though itseems a mockery to call her so in her present condition, is ab- solutely without means, and unless the dead nobleman’s relatives on the other side, of his friends on this side, contribute the money to pay his funeral expenses, he will very likely find his final resting piace in Potter's fleld. The deceased lord’s predeces- sors were ennobledin 1487, when Sir John Drummond, PF. C., was created Baron Drum mond. James Drummond, the fourth baron of the name, was a distinguished courtier and was created Earl of Perth by James VI. of Scotiand, in 1605. The title and estates were attained several times,but George Drummond, the fourteenth Earl of Perth, obtained a re- versal ofall attainers bya special act of Par- liament in 1853. A QUAINT OLD PLACE. The Town of Marion, Where Mrs. Cleveland is Making a Summer Visit. By Telegraph to the Post-DISPATcH. MARION, Mass., August 6.—Few people know that the place chosen by Mrs. Cleve- land for her summer visit is the original from which Heury James painted the pen pic- ture ot The Little Town of Marion, which appeared in The Bostonians .’’ The novelist once visited the editor of the Century here, and though only a short time in the place succeed in catching a good deal of the Joca 1 coloring, though it must be confessed that some of his lines are drawn with a rather free hand. Many people have Claimed the honor of discovering Marion, but this truly belongs to Admiral Har- wood, who first came her e years ago, and af- ter spending many summers in the place, died and was buried here. The Admiral and Mrs. Tabor are two persons who are the most distinctively associated with the town, per- haps. The latter was born bere and later in lite returned to live in her native place. A widow, and very wealthy, she has been a sort of a god-mother tothe town. Gradually afew people have come to know the charms of the quaint old town and its delightfulness as a vum mer resort or residence. A small number of these have built cottages here, others rent some of the old-fashioned houses. Mrs. Oleveland, her mother and a maid re- mained quietly at home most of the time at Marion yesterday. They took a short ride in the afternoon. In the evening Mrs. Cleveland and her lady friends, with Gen. Greely, went palling with Royal Rider in his sloop yacht Alice. At about 4 o'clock the party embarked aud spent afew hours pleasantly on Buzzara’s Bay. They returned before dark in the best of spirits, and went to Gen. Greely’s house for finner. So far as can be ascertained, Mrs. Mevelapd and her party have no fixed plans for to-day. On Sunday they will attend the Episcopal Church service conducted by the Rev. Percy Browne. They have said that they cannot accept the numerous invitations to attend dinner parties received from summer residents and others. The only invitation of this kind of which Mrs. Cleveland is said to have signified her accept- ance, beyond that from Mr. Nickerson, is for a dinner party at the summer home of District-Attorney H. M. Knowlton. The en tertainment given at Mr. Glider's house en is to berepeated next Tuesday after- noon withavariation in the programme for the benefit of Wells College, Aurora, of which Mrs. Cleveland is a graduate and trustee. She is expected to be present. The entertainment was 1 by a friend ot the college re- siding in Marion, before Mrs. Cleveland’s in- tention to come here was known. A SLENDER CLEW.

The J. H. Perkins the Victim—Charge« of Violating the Custom Laws by Ship ping Men—The Complaint Made by Two of the Crew—Admiral Luce’s Instructions—Con- sul-General Phelan’s Action. legraph to the Post-DISPATCH. 1 Nova Scotia, August 6.— Collector Foley has made another seizure at Souris, Prince Edward’sIsland. This time the victim is the North Haven schooner J. H. Perkins, McDonald, Master. She was seized on the charge of violating the custom laws by ship- ping men. It appears from statements volun- teered by two of the Perkins’ crew ,made upon oath, that six men were shipped on the north side of Prince Edward’s Island on the 29th ult. Skipper McDonald does not deny the charge, and has made a formal declaration to Collector Foley tothe effect that he had arranged by correspondence last winter to ship these men on his present trip. He wanted men and when he arrived at Souris on the 2th ult., he sent word to them to meethim. He knew he was not allowed to ship men from the shore, and in order notto violate the law, he instructed them to join his vessel at sea. He did not go on shore for the men, but lay to, as he sup- posed, four miles off shore, and the men rowed off to hfs vessel and shipped on her on the high seas as previously arranged. He knows of no law to prevent their doing 80, norto punish him for shipping them. The informers, however, swear that Perkins was not more than two miles from the shore when THE FOUR MEN BOARDED HER, and that soundings showed the Perkins was anchored in from three to eight fathoms. The Perkins arrived off the place before dark, and the men, did not come until 10 at night, and during a heavy frain- storm. The skipper of the Perkins is also charged with having shipped two men at this port on Wednesday night. She was lying in the harbor among a fleet of fifty or sixty American vessels, and these two men were smuggled on board about midnight. Skipper McDonald makes no explanation of this second charge, but the proof is un- doubted. Collector Foley has reported the facts at Ottawa, and awaits instructions of the Minister of Customs. There is little doubt that the Perkins will be fined $400 for each offense. Minister-of-Fisheries Foster arrived here last night. He will bave a conference with Rear-Admiral Luce and Consul-General Phelan to-day. ADMIRAL LUCE’S INSTRUCTIONS. Rear-Admiral Luce, Commander of the United States Naval force in the North At- lantic, now in Halifax, after a careful study of the intricacies of the fishery question, and after frequent interviews with Consul-General Phelan, has issued a memoranaum of instruc- tions tothe American fishermen fleet now in Canadian waters. This is important, as being the first official instructions given to Ameri- can fishermen under authority of the United States Government. Une section is framed to preventa repetition of last year’s experi- ence, when with almost every capture made the seizing officer secured a statement from the American captain, which was construed into aconfession. In cases of future seizure Admiral Luce desires to place the burden of proof on the Canadian officers making the seizure. A QUESTION OF VERACITY. Notwithstanding the semi-denial officially made by the Deputy Minister of Fisheries at Ottawa regarding the refusal to permit the captured men from the Argonaut and the French to de shipped home in fishing vessels, Consul-General Phelan reasserts it as a fact. When Collector Foley refused to allow the men to be ~y = home in fishing vessels, Consul-General e- lan A to the Minister of Customs askin Collector Foley was justified and sus- tained. Mr. Phelan never received any notice that they would be allowed to go home in fish- ing vessels and they were sent home in a steamer, because Collector Foley refused to allow them to go in fishing vessels and no information was received from Ottawa relat- ing to the collector's action previously to their sailing in the steamer. SAVED FROM A WATERY GRAVE. Bishop Tuttle of Missouri Saves a Young Lady From Drowning. SOHENECTADY, N. I., August 6.— There is no prettier stream in the State than the Mohawk River as it flows by Schenectady, and boating parties enjoy its beauties nearly every pleas- ant evening. The Right Rev. Daniel 8. Tuttle, Episcopal Bishop of Missouri, was in town Thursday, the guest of Miss Fanny Paige, sis- ter of Schenectady’s Postmaster anda cousin of ex-Assistant-Attorney-General E. W. Paige of New York. In the evening Miss Paige and the Bishop went out on the river in a cranky row-boat. The lady was in the stern and the prelate in the bow and both were paddling. Finally the Bishop leaned a little too much to one side, and as a result the boat careened and Miss Paige was thrown headlong into very deep water. Bishop Tuttle immediately dived after the lady, the boat capsizing as he left it. Tne Bishop isa powerful swimmer, and when Miss Paige came to the surface he seized her around the waist and swam with her to the boat, to which they clung until assistance came from two —— men who had been attracted by Miss aige’s screams. The overturned boat was righted and taken near enough to shore to permit Miss Paige and Bishop Tuttle to cet in and row home. When they arrived at the point from which they started, however, a new difficulty pre- sented itself. Bishop Tuttle had leit St: Louis in light marching order and the soaking of his clothes was a serious matter with him. Buta happy way out suggested itself, and the bishop did not have to go to bed afterall. He and Judge Beattie are nearly of the same size, and as the judge lives next doar to where the bishop was staying, alevy was made on the judge’s wardrobe and the bishop was fitted out comfortably if not clerically. DREW BLOOD. An Old-Fashioned Duel Between Two Hot Head French Politicians. NEW ORLEANS, August 6.—Emile Rivoire and John Larrieu settled a difference of opinion by a resort to the code yesterday morning. They metin St. Bernard Parish, some distance be- low the city, between 5 and 6 O clock, with their seconds, and fought with short swords. The cause of the challenge was a reflection upon the political conduct of the club De La Pemocratie Francaise, in an article signed ‘‘A Member of the Club,’’ which appeared in the pee of sunday, July 31. As president 0 the club, Mr. Larrieu took per- sonal notice 01 the article and addressed a communication to the editors of Opinion demanding the name of the writer. Kmile Rivoire, editor of the Franco-Lousian- “is, assumed all responsibility, whereupon Mr. Larrieu sent bima challenge to fight a duel. Mr. Rivoire accepted, and having the choice of weapons selected short swords. The principals displayed the greatest sang troid throughout, and at the word of com- mand began to attack, parry and thrast with consummate. skill, Only one pass was fought, Mr. Larrieu receiving a slight wound in the chest. The seconds decided that there had been nothing essentially per sonal in the article complained of by Mr. poo rieu, and as both gentlemen have behaved in compliance with the rules of the code, and as biood bad been shed at the first parry, there was no reason for continuing the duel. i. i tor pee passion were prevailed ay aside elr weapons being done they shook hands. we NOTHING carries children so safely through their Teething Period as Dr. Moffett's TeeTHIna ( Teething Powders), or can be so confidently ro- lied upon to cure the usual summer Bowel troubles of children of any age.

BEAUTIFUL PHOEBE WOODMAN. The Mysterious Disappearance of a Member of Poet Whittier’s Family. , By Telegravh to the PosT-DISPATCH. DANVERS, Mass., August 6.—The unex- plained disappearance of Phoebe Woodman, the accomplished and beautiful daughter of the poet Whittier’s cousin, Mrs. C. C.Wood- man, who lives with her distinguished rela- tive at Oak Knoll, a beautiful country seat at Danvers, has been the chief topic here for sev- eral days The motive which prompted her disappearance is a mystery. Although an adopted daughter, Miss Phoebe was the dol of the family, and was especially loved by Mr. Whittier, who entertained for her the affection of father. It was while the poet was spending a brief vacation in the New r shire hills that some circumstance caused the girl to break the associations which for over twelve years have bound her to more than friends and start for the far West, leaving no trace of her whereabouts, and, so far as can be learned, assigning no cause for her act. On the afternoon of July 28 Miss Phobe ordered her saddle-horse at an early hour and started for à ride unaccompanied. Passing down through the village and bowing pleasantly to numerous acquaintances whom she saw along the way, the girl turned her horse’s head and galloped off toward Putnamville, a small station twd miles below on the Boston 4 Maine Railroad. No one remembers having seen her after that, but towards even- ing her horse, tied to a tree, was found stand - ing in a grove near the railway station. Close at hand was a riding habit, which gave rise to the belief that some crime had been com- mitted. Inquiry at the railroad station brought out the factthat the young woman had taken a train to Boston. Search was made, but all trace of her waslost. The news was reluctantly told to Mr. Whittier, and he was case down with grief. He sent telegrams to all of His distant relatives making inquiries for the girl, but received notidings. She had been brought up under his own care and with the 2 — ot one year at Wheaton, he had been her sole instructor. Yesterday a telegram was received from the young woman at East Saginaw, Mich., saying that she was at that place with friends. She did not explain her departure, nor signify any intention to return. The telegram was at once sent to Mr. Whittier, and he advised one of the family to go atonce to the young girl and try afld induce her to return. One of the family left last nigbt and is now on her way to East Saginaw. Tothe PosT-DISPATCH corre- spondent one of Mr. Whittier’sintimatefriends said that the venerable poet was much grieved over the strange actions of the girl. She was an adopted daughter, quite as much of his own, he said, as of his cousin, and his interest in her was very deep. Mr. Whittier was ofthe opinion that outside influence induced her to leave her home. Her father’s family were Southerners, and some of them now wished her to join them. These peepee. he said, lived in East Saginaw, where lives Joseph Whittier, a cousin of the poet. Mr. Whittier feels sure she is with her father’s relatives now, and not with Mr. Whittier’s cousin. It is also thought that she had been met in Boston by some one who accompanied her West. Whothis person is they don’t know, nor how strong their influence may be to keep the girl is not known. Although she was alwuys well supplied with pocket money, she did not have enough to pay her passage to Michigan. The friends of the young woman refused to tell who her father and mother were before she was adopted, and declined to give any information in regard to ber de- parture. OFFICERS COMING FOR HIM.

Alleged Depredations by the Apaches De- nied—Bad White Men, TUCSON, Ariz., August 6.—Advices from Janos, Chihuahua, Mexico, dated July 26, say the reports sent out from El Paso of a band of Apaches depredating that region are not true. There has not been a single Apache seen in the vicinity since Geronimo’s band surrendered to Gen. Miles, neariy a year ago. There is an Organized band of Mexican outiaws, with some Americans, who scour through the country, stealing and murdering, but they are not Indians. Itis not known whether either McGraw or Van Ness Smith have been killed. To this report from Janos, Tucson adds that from most careful investiga- tion it is absolutely certain that there is nota single San Carlos Apache off the reservation, much less in Sonora or Chihua- hua. There have been two persons killed by Apaches since Geronimo surrendered to Miles Diehl and Grace. During the emeute last June, every Indian who went on that raid was driven to surrender, and five have been tried by a a court. It is believed their sentence is A Serious Cnarge.

CHICAGO, III., August 6.—The Times this morning gives reports from various points in the Western States, showing the condition of crops. The drouth has been uncommonly severe in most of the territory covered by these advices, and some of the information obtained is not favorable. While some States have escaped with little loss, others have suffered very seriously. In Illinois the dry spell has been especially disastrous. The yield of hay has been light; the crop of oats is considerably below the average, while the rospect for corn is decidedly discouraging. From present advices it is reason- able to state that about halt the usual yield will be obtained. Many counties report prospects for considerable less than half a Crop, while only a few especially fa- vored localities report an average. About er cent of the usual yield would seem to be ndicated by the advices from the State. In the great corn center in the middle of the State many ot the farmers are cutting up the stalks for fodder belleving that rains, if they come at all, will come too late to do any good. The facts as to the situation inthis portion of the State are said to have been suppressed in former re- ports. IN INDIANA also, the drought has done much damage. Rain has not fallen in many places for more than four weeks, and the recent showers have been of little benefit. In some localities the corn crop is a total failure, andin no portion of the State is the ordinary yield expected. From one-third to one- fourth of the crop is the tenor of reports from this State. Hay is but a poor crop and oats are short of the usual produc- tion. In Wisconsin the drought seems to have been less destructive. Some localities report a falling-off in corn, but the crop in most sec- tions of the State seems likely to be an average, while the oat crop Is fair. he same seems to be true of Michigan and Obio. WEST OF THE MISSISSIPPI the advices are much more encouraging. Plentiful rains have fallen recently in Iowa, Kansas and Nebraska, which have been of untold benefit tothe corn. The Secretary of the Iowa Agricultural Society reports a prob- able corn yieid of 200,000,000 bushels, which is some 30,000,000 bushels in excess of the short crop of the last year. Advices from various portions of the State bear out this view. In only a very few localities is the corn poor. Some of the counties, indeed, report prospects of a bigger crop than usual, and in almost every locality the stand is excellent. The pros- pects in Kansas and Missouri are for a fair average crop. Reports from 200 points on the ansas City & Fort Scott Road indicate an average yield of about thirty-five bushels to the acre. In Kansas the drought has been severe, but re- cent rains have improved the situation, and an average crop is looked for. The southern half of Nebraska has been badly scorched and the corn there is poor. But the prospects in other parts of the State and along the North Platte are much better and at least half an average crop is promised for the State. A BIG MONOPOLY. The Philadelphia Syndicate Secures Control of All the Chicago Street Railways. CHICAGO, III., August 6.—The Times this morning announces that the Philadelphia syn- dicate which purchased the North Side Street Railway last year has leased all the lines of the West Division Company. This company recently bought out its only competitor, and has franchises for all streets where car lines would be valuabie, so that it has an actual monopoly of the passenger traffic in the West Division, the largest portion of the _ city. The Times states that the Philadelphia syndicate has for some time been endeavoring to secure con- trol of all the stock of the West Division Com- pany, but that severalof the richer holders refused the offers made. They finaly con- sented to alease of the West Division Rail- way, provided their stock wag counted in asa value of $00a share, upon which an annual interest of 6per cent or $30 a share, should be guaranteed. An incorporation of the West Chicago Street Railroaa Company Was effected some time ago. This corporation was organized by the Philadelphia syndicate, it is understood, and this syndicate has leased the West Division lines for a period of ninety-nine years, agree- ing to pay 6 per cent on $6,250,000 as rental per annum, which is equalto taking all the stock of the company at per cent. The new com- pany will at once proceed to lay a cable road on all of the principal West Side street lines, and also commence, as soon as possible, the contruction of new tines on West Side streets, for which the old company now holds fran- chises.

The Aged Mormon Assumes the Leadership of the Church. SALT LAKE, Utah, August 6.—The question of successorship to the Presidency of the Mor- mon Church has been settled temporarily by the appearance of an address signed by Wil- ford Woodruff, President of the Apostles. He says: ‘‘As upon two former occasions in our history, the duty and responsibility of pre- siding over aod directing the affairs of the Church of Jesus Christ in all the world de- volves upon the Twelve Aposties. With the biessing of the Lord and the faith and prayers of His people, we hope todoour duty until we, too, shall be laid to rest. It has been thought by some that either George Q. Cannon or Joseph F. Smith, nephew of the original Joseph would assume the leadership. Woodruff is in the reguigtr line of succession, and his address, assuming control, would indicate there is to be no de- parture from the orders. Woodruff is 80 ears old and a man of mediocre years and is still out of sight to all save the faithful. His presiden will not be as rigorous or popular as would have been Cannon’s or Smith’s. As a matter of course the Mormons will accept him. It is not probable a formal election will take place before next April, if then. The Apostles, with Taylor at their head, ruled three years after Brigham Young’s death before Taylor was chosen President. ) GIBSON SKIPPED. The Deposed Premier of Hawaii Escapes to San Francisco. PORT TOWNSEND, W. T., August 6.—Ad- ditional advices by the bark Colusa from Hon- olulu, July 13, say that ex- Premier Gibson escaped July 13 on the bark Jobn G. Spreckels. On that date he was acquitted of having de- frauded the Government. The bark Spreckels was lying near the wharf with everything ready to set sail. A carriage which was waiting at the rear door of the court-room conveyed Gibson without a moment’s delay to the ves- sel, which castofflines and headed for San Francisco. It required less that twenty min- utes for Gibson to leave the court -room and get on board the Spreckels. Hazletine, Gib- son’s son-in-law, is still in jail, awaiting trial for beingan accessory of Gibson. Business has been resumed. Capitalists who were Holding back are investing money, and a gen- eral feeling prevails that Hawaii has a stable government under which just laws will be en- acted. BY THE MORPARINE ROUTE.

About 7 o’clock this morning, while a num- ber of small boys were playing in the rear of the Elliot frog-shops, one of them, a lad named Harry Graham, climbed into a box-car on the Conlogue track and discoveréd the body of anew-born infant covered up ina basket. He informed some of the men in Eliiot’s of his discovery and a telephone message was sent to the Police Sta- tion. An officer was sent down te the place and the body brought to Kurrus’ r establishment. The body was that of afuliy developed boy, and could not have been in the car more than ten or twelve hours. A physician who examined the body said that the child had been born alive with- out a doubt. Coroner Woods was notified, and will hold an inguest this evening. AN ASSAULT CASE. John Griffin, the proprietor of a boarding. house on Third street, has begun a suit in the City Court against Chief of Police Michael Walsh for $5,000 damage for trespass. ide allegations made in the petition are that on July 29, Chief Walsh, without any cause struck him in the face with his fist and afterwards, without any author- ity of law, imprisoned him in the calaboose for six hours. The trouble between Green and the Chief grew out of an assault alleged to have been made in Griffin’s saloon on a mu named Frank Baleer of St. Charies, Mo. Ba- cer was badly beaten up and . ported the assault to the police. Wha an officer accompanied him back 0 Griffin’s, where he alleged the assault had oc- curred, he said the principals were not there, but he accused Griffin of having assisted the others in beating him. The next day a war- rant was sworn ouf against Griflin and he was arrested. He was brought before ‘Squire Bunyan, who accepted his own recogniz- ance. Before leaving the court Grita approached Walsh and said to him that he wanted him to distinctly understand that he had nothing to do with the assault and was not there when it was committed. Walsh in- sinuated that he did not credit his statement, Words followed, and Walsh, itis alleged, be- coming incensed, struck Griffin in the face and tnen locked him up. The case will be tried during the August term of court. MINOR ENINGS.

The Chicago Club’s Temperance Reform Movement. Evils of the Present System of Computing Batting Averages—A Comparison of the Work of the Detroit Hitters—Henry Chad- - wick on Anson's Total Abstinence Crusade —Von der Ahe Thinks It a Great Joke— The Browns’ First Shut-Out—To-Morrow’s Game—Sporting Gossip. The question whether the present system of figuring a batter's average on single hits is not capable of being materially improved is brought to the front now as the phantom hits —buses on balls—come rolling in to take a place in the season's average. Of one thing there can de no doubt— that the present system does not give the heavy bitter the showing that his batting entitles him to. Common justice re- quires that some way be devised by which a player can get credit when he makes more than one bag on A hit. True, his doubles, triples and bome runs are recorded for reference, but they don’t figure in the batting average, and that is the thing the public looks to and only that. The people haven't time to pick something out ofthis column, or set of figures, and something out ot that and get an estimate of a player. What they want is a natting average that will tell the correct story atonce. Noaverage can be a just one, the shinking man says, which makes no distinc- tion between a home run and a single, be- ween a grand three-bagger clearing the | ages, and a little Latham bunt which the ,unner beats to first. Surely a batter should not get as much credit for a bunt as for a home-rup, and yet no distinction is made be- tween them in the present system. The per- centage is figured on the uumber of single hits in proportion to the times atbat. There- fore, if O' Neill, twice at bat, makes two bome runs, thatis bats in two runs, at the least, and Latham, ulso twice at bat, gets first on two buuts, the batting averages of the two men will be the same. If that is rewarding a player for super- jor batting, itis hard to see it. ONE OBJECTION RAISED © computing u batter's average on his total bases is that it would tend to create wild and careless bard hitting instead of sacrifice hit- ting, the idea being that every batter would try to bring his average up by striking for a home run. This is well answered by Kellley in his remarks printed below, and by the counter argument that with a man po first and a man on second, the batter would vave no reason for hitting hard. He would uaturally conclude that his average would be date it he should make a bunt, and bunt he would and get first. But the bases being full, with the next batter a double would be easily nude and the batter retired. A double instead of the bunt would have scored a run and left no foreed base at first, but the striker had no knows ow much Detroit paid to get the Big Four—Brouthers, Thom Rowe chardson. They were hired because of their hard any beg and not because they little hits. It willbe observed that these sluggers lead the club’s batting, which completely demolishes the argument that and R could bat total base computation would allow hitters to geta big average. On the contrary in the second table it is seen how Shindle, the light hitter, falls back. THE DETROITS COMPARED. The following table compiled by the Detroit Free Press shows the batting of the Detroits up to August 1. It is here used for the ur- se of comparing a set of tables, especially yecause the t roſts have what are known as hard hitters or sluggers. On the figures in the Urst table, the following tables are arranged: might be beneficial, but he was afraid that it would tempt the ambitious batters too much. He would not deny, however, that the new utapremium on strong computation woulda hitting and tend to THE CRACK CATCHER, Sketch of Jack Boyle, the Now Famous Back- Jack Boyle, whose picture is presented the readers of the Post-DIsPATCH in this issue, is the youngest catcher in the profession, and since joining the cham- pions he has become one of the stars of the back stop constellation.

The Story ofa Socialistic City Two Centuries Hence—A Book of Aphorisms — Maga- zines of the Month's Gathering. THE FUTURE: OR, SOCIAL- TBLIO O THE REPUEA oF By ANNA BowMAN Dopp. ; en 4 Co. 1 vol., sq. 18mo. Price, 50 cote: From the Evans Book Co., St. ouls. Miss Anna Bowman Dodd was the author of a little book called Old Cathedral Days, a fact duly recorded at its birth in these col- ums. Her last work, The Republic of the Future, is a powerful and trenchant satire on the growing power of Socialism and Woman's Rights, which should be read as a warning by every one who leans towards So- cialistic principles, and as a source of amuse- ment by all who do not. The little book, which adds to ite numerous merits the sterling one of orevity, consists of aseries of imaginary letters describing the fictitious journey to New York ofa Swedish nobleman. They are written in tne twenty-first century to a friend in Christiana. New York after a tremendous revolution, which casts all previous revolutions in every part of the world into the shade, has beeome a socialistic city, and the writer duly records his impressions. The journey from Norway to New York was taken by the route of the Pneumutic- Tube Electric Company, involving à rush of thousands of miles under the ocean, at the rate of five miles a minute. The correspon- dent waxes enthusiastic over the submarine scenery, but as neither the author nor her readers know anything at all about what usually takes place at the bottom of the sea, she is obliged to have recourse to imagina- tion. Here is a specimen paragraph: Beyond all else in point of interest was the spectacle of the wholesale cannibalism going on among the finny tribes, a cannibalism which still exists, in spite of the unwearying exertions of the numerous societies for the Prevention of Cruelty Among Cetacea and Crustacea. We passed any number of small boats darting in and out among the porpoises, dolphins and smaller fish, deliverin supplies (of proper Christian food) and punishing of- fenders. A submarine gone pee? A who chanced to sit next to me told me that of all vertebrate or invertebrate animals the fish is the least amenable to reformatory discipline. * * „ „Since, however, the Buddhistic doc- trine of metempsychosis has come to be 80 universally accepted, and as each one of these oor creatures is in reality a soul in embryo, t behooves mankind to do all that lies in his power to elevate ail tribes and species. It will be seen by this episode that Miss Dodd is blessed with imagination as well as satiric power of no mean order. But she has not commenced yet—is merely getting her hand in, as it were. On arriving at New York the twenty-first century traveler was taken to his hotel in an air balloon omnibus. The vehicle rose abouta thousand feet into the air, afford- ing a fine view of the city, which struck the traveler as somewhat flat. In descending this phenomenon was explained. The whole city was composed of little houses.two stories high and as alike astwopins. This was owing to the fact that the Socialistic law forbade any man having a finer house than his neighbor, so all were built alike. In stepping into the hotel, new wonders arose. No one was there to welcome the guest or to take luggage, not even a call boy. Presently, however, I saw a huge iron hand ointing to an adjacent tabie. On the table ay a big book with a placard on which was printed Please write name, country, length of stay and number of rooms desired. Ali of which I did. The book then miraculously closed and disappeared. The next instant a tray made its appearance where the book had been, on the tray was a key, and on the key a tag with the number and words, ‘‘Take eleva- tor at your left to third flight. The elevator, as I stepped into it, stopped as if by magic at the thi — fy when another iron hand shot out of the wall, pointing me to the left. Soon I found the room assigned to me, opened it and entered to discover the 1 in per- fect order and the faucets in the bath chamber actually turned on. All the arrangements of the hotel were worked in the same way. Meals were served in the room by an apparatus in the wall con- sisting of sliding shelves. Labor of a degrad- ing kind being forbidden by law, all such ar- rangements were worked by machinery. The little gardens in front of houses were uncared for because their culture would have involved manual labor and consequent law-breaking. The city consisted of miles and miles of little two-story houses as like one another as two brown nuts. It was as flat as your hand and as monotonous as a twice-told tale. Women and men were dressed exactly alike, save that the women wore baggy trousers and the men straight ones. The women had no housekeeping to do, as that was forbidden bylaw. The food was supplied through conduits from Chicago by an electric arrangement by which it came in time to be hot. There were no regular meal- times; every one eat when they fancied it. A con- versation with a lady inhabitant eljcited the following facts: The perfecting of the woman movement was retarded for hundreds of years | the slavish desire of woman to please their husbands by dressing and cooking for them. When the last pie was made into the first pellet woman’s true freedom began. * * * Now everything isdone by mac rer bed-mak- ing, window-scrubbing and wash ng - The only hard work which we stillhave to do is dust- ing; no invention has yet been effected which dusts satisfactorily without breakage to the ornaments, which accounts for the fact also that the fashion of having odds and ends about the home has gone out. It was voted years ago by the y largest women's vote ever polled, that since men could not create self-adjusting, non- destructive dusters their homes must suffer; women were not to be degraded to hand- machines for the sake of ministering to men’s wsthetic tastes. So you see we have only the necessary chairs and tables. Asthe women outnumbered the men bya large majority, they were the ofiice-holders, Governors and rulers. A stranger's impres- sion on coming into the country was that women were the sole inhabitants. Women having satisfactorily emancipated themselves from the bondage of domestié drudgery, found one obstacle still in their th to complete and co-equal man-freedom. here still remained the children to be taken care ofand broughtup. As motherhood came in course of time to be considered in its true light, as perhaps the chief cause of the degradation of women, it was finally abolished by act of Legislature. Women were still to continue to bear children, or else the socialistic society itself would cease tobe. A law was passed providing that children immediately after birth should be brought up, educated and trained under State direction to be re- turned to their nts when fully grown and — 4 for their duties as men and women citi- It is significant of the changes brought about between the sexes that the word ‘‘home’’ has ped out of the language. A man’s house has in fact ceased to be his home. There are no children there to greet him; his wife who is his comrade, a man, a citizen, like himself, is as rarely at home as he. Their food can be eaten anywhere, there is no com- mon board; there is not even a servant to welcome the master with a smile. word wife has also lost ail its. original significance. It stands for nothing. Husband and wife are in reality two men, having equal rights with the same — 2 ot oceupat ion, the same duties as citizens 9 rm, the same haunts and the same dreary ure.

The contents of this spicy little volume are drawn from the remarks of nine Chicago gen- tlemen, who, forming a club called the Three Threes,’’ dined together at stated intervals in the club-rooms of a down-town restaurant. At these times they were in the habit of discussing various topics, and it is to the habit of one of their number of taking down the witty, spicy and sparkling remarks of his friends that the public owe this spirited little volume of aphorisms. Every man likes being told in a witty manner what he ought to do, however little inclined he may feel afterward to do it. For such we append afew of the re- marks made by this witty club: It is not in being deceived that we pained; it is K being undeceived. Those who listen most attentively are fre- quently most bored. * A woman is in love with the man whom she delights to hear speak much of himself. Patience is the noblest form of courage. Poverty is the usual heritage of the son of the father who was ever the poor mans friend.’’ How few are the friendships that endure when to be faithful is to incur reproach and shame. Notwithstanding professions of friendship, no prudent man will believe that a man who was once his enemy has become sincerely his friend. a It vou would see a plain woman beautiful put love into her eyes. It is difficult to be witty in the presence of those we fear. These are culled from the firstfew pages only. are Magazines of the Month. [SECOND NOTICE. } The North American Review presents an in- teresting table of contents. The Rev. Henry Field, D.D., contributes an open letter to Col. Robert G. Ingersoll, written in the friendly spirit warranted by the intimate relations which exist between two men, but containing some hard hits against the apostie of modern infidelity, nevertheless. Dr. McGlynn con- tributes a sarcastic sketch, describing ‘‘the new know-nothingness and the old.’’ Mon- cure D. Conway employs all his well-known trenchant satire upon no lessasubject than »The Queen of England. His object is to prove that the power of that potentate exists principally in her abrogation of power. On a Sunday in the jubilee, he remarks, 1 attended an historical American church Owning some allegiance to Canterbury. The solid Englishman who preached on that occa- sion seemed tome adrift in seas of mental confusion. He invited us to leave contempla- tion of the Queen and consider her excellence asawoman. He pronounced her the ‘typical wife, typical mother, typical woman,’ but none of his anecdotes or illustrations warranted any inference that Victoria was any better than hundreds of good women, wives and mothers, around him. A cynical critic might have interpreted such personal eulogy as a sarcasm on royalty, as implying wonder that even ordinary womanly virtues couid exist coeval with it. We were also called to admire because Victoria sent sympathetic messages to Mrs. Lincoln and Mrs. Garfield. What mar- velous self-sacrifice! The prayers and lam- entations of millions of ordinary people in many countries — pass without notice—but think of these royal regrets! What are Presi- dents thatthe Queen should be mindful of them?“ Having thus proved that Victoria as a womanis no betterthan any other woman, our contributor goes onto prove, with the same sledge-hammer style of argument, that asa Queen she is no better than any other Queen. Having thus entirely demolished her standing reputation he proceeds to build it up again on an entirely new foundation. That she has made her throne the tomb of every lastrelic of personal authority is the immediate jewel of her crown. The royal perogative has been exercised once by Glad stone and once by Disraeli, but never by Queen Victoria. As the gregtest writer on the English Constitution has said, the Queen would certainly sign her own death warrant were it laid before her by the ministers. On her accession, contem- orancous historians remarked that the youth- ul maiden followed the instructions and words of her ministers with an intent exact- ness; the literal fidelity at that ceremony has been followed by fifty years of intelligent fidelity to the Constitution. It needed but such a reign to sum up and consolidate all the results of English revolutions to embody the liberal progress of a thousand years to send all — — laws to their fossil bed, to make Englan what its laureate has called the crowned Republic. While Mr. Conway is thus inquiring of the readers of the N. A. R., Why is Victoria a Queen? Wong Chin Foo is demanding of the same constituency, Why is he aheathen? He proceeds to answer his own question ina very complete and trenchant fashion, not alto- gether soothing to the feelings of those who have been wondering through recent months why they are Protestants, Methodists, Roman Catholics, Congregationalists, Jews, or Unit- arians. Apparently Wong Chin Foo was anx:ous in early days to join each or any of these communities, but the inherently critical spirit which shows itself in his present article caused him to find difficulties in every one. I had to take a good deal for granted (he complains somewhat pathetically in giving a history of his early struggles) as to the inpsi- ration of the Bible—as is necessary to do—to Christianize a non-Christian mind; and I even advanced so far under the spell of my would- be soul-savers that I seriously contemplated becoming the bearer of heavenly tidings to my * — —— heathen people. ut ore qualifying for this high . the Christian doctrine I would n learnt, and here on the threshold I was be- wildered by the multiplicity of Christian sects eacb one claiming a monopoly of the only and me — — 1 0 ooke nto Presbyterianism only to re- treat shudderingly from a belief in 4 mer. ciless God who had long foreordained most of the helpless human race to an eternal hell.

You II 1 N so you experienced This brief extract will show that Wong Chin Foo is nothing if not convincing. Later he expresses anxiety as to his position, suppos- ing he went to heaven, and Dennis Kear- ney, the California sand-lotter, should slip in and meet him there, would he not be likely to forget his heavenly songs and howl once more ‘The Chinese must go,’ and organize a heavenly crusade to have me and others im- mediately cast out into the other place.’’ The current Forum is below average. ‘‘What is the object of life?’’ inquires Mr. Mallock, who has already sickened us of that unprofitable question in ies Life Worth Liv- ing?’’ Gen. A. W. Greely contributes a paper on Aleohol in High Latitudes, in which he gives his opinions, based on exceptional experience, that the men best fitted for ardu- ous labor of any kind, and especially in high latitudes, are those who are absolute abstain- ers. ‘‘This article,’’ he concludes, will not have been written in vain if it has the effect of correcting among any class of laborers the mistaken idea that their capacity for work is increased or their powers of endurance to ex- posure and cold enhanced by the use of aloo- hol. The English navvy never drinks while working, and the Esquimaux and Chukehes, without aloohol, endure unharmed the severest temperatures known to man.’’ Outing is a little brighter than usual this month by reason of @ delightful paper on My which more sensible readers willenjoy. ‘‘My Travels on Next to Nothing, by James Ri- calton, extend to St. Petersburg, while Thomas Stevens traverses the unbeaten tracks of Kborassan on his bicycle. St. Nicholas opens with an interesting paper on The Boyhood of Oliver Wendell Holmes. Born on the 29th of August, 1809, his earliest recollection is giving three cheers for the close of the war of 1812. A moderately studious boy, he was fond of reading — 4 especially The Arabian Nichts, fond of whispering and whittling, as his desk showed, a little mischievous, sound in mind and body, but more than usually im- aginative. He heard voices inthe leaves of the treos, in the ships and the guns. He formed fairy tales out of chairs and tables and lived in dread of a great wooden hand, a shoemaker’s sign, which he passed on his way to school and which he always feared would catch him up and fling him far out of the world of joyous fact and fancy. „Ready for Business, or Choosing an Occu- pation,’’ is a paper of a more practical sort, containing advice to boys who are ready to go forth into the battle of life.

A new half-penny evening „ ow is to be started in London, edited by T. P. O’Connor. EVERY day it is being more clearly demon- strated, that good articles at fair prices are the most economical. This is more fully illustrated in the buying of goods relative to household use, or what is commoniy called House Furnishing Goods, and general hardware; and as an evidence of the correctness of this assertion, the Simmons Hardware Company are daily drawing large numbers of people to their store because it is a well-known fact, that they carry in stock goods only of acknowledged merit, and sell them at very reasonable prices. An article which will last only a week or two, is absolutely worthless, no matter how low the original cost, as compared with an article of better quality, which will last ten times as long and probably cost only a trifle more than the cheap stuff. Simmons Hardware Company carry the largest variety of House Furnishing Goods and general hardware of any store in the United States, and persons can rest assured, that whatever goods they buy from them will have intrinsic merit of full value of the price. Scareely a day passes, but what some person goes to their stote, and asks for something good, saying they are tired of thecheap stuff, they have been buying elsewhere. If you want to buy hardware, or House Fur- nishing Goods at reasonable prices, of a quality that will give you satisfaction, you should visit Ninth and Washington avenue. — — THE HOUSEHOLD.

Club next Thursday, Friday and promises to be a big wheeling affair. The races will be run under L. A. W. rules. There will be eleven events each day, and racing will not commence till 4 o’clock, and is scheduled to close at 5:50. Entries close next Monday. Percy Stone of this city, who is going over to race, says all the ‘‘gang’’ will be there, meaning Rowe Rhodes, Neilson, Crocker, Hollingsworth and the other professional flyers. Percy says he will race as a professional, as the promateur farce of last year has cometoanend. He is in no condition to race, as he has been buck- ling right down to work in the office ever since his race with Greenwood a montr ago, but like a war-horse he scents the battle from afar and wants to shake up some dust himself. The regulation of the meet regarding loafing is: No loafing during races will be counte- nanced. The habit of making an actual con- test only during the last quarter is uninterest- ing to the public, and we believe detrimental tothe best general good of the sport. We have therefore established a rule that class races must be won within ten seconds of the limit and open races as follows, or no prizes will be awarded: Bicycle, quarter mile, 50 seconds; half mile, 1:35; one mile, 3:10; two miles, 6:30; five miles, 17:00. Tricycle limits on a basis of 3:40 tothe mile. It will de inter- esting to observe just how much this rule will prevent that curse of cycle racing—loafing. Notes.

Secretary-Treasurer Ab Lewis expects to re- turn from Europe the last of the month. Sam Hatch, Percy Stone and Jones, Irvine are ‘*laying’’ for him with a deep-iaid scheme to crush out symptoms of foreign affectation. There are 500 ladies in Washington who ride tricycies. They attract no more attention there than would a woman ona horse. Many own their own machines. Others rent them as they requirethem. They go shopping and visiting and calling on them. The lot of the individual with a tricycle is not a very pleasant lot unless he can fence it in with cold indifference. Somebody ts always wanting ‘ ‘just totry it a little,’’ which usually means that it will be brought back in more or less of a damaged condition. At the Missouri Club’s meeting this week there was some rather plain condemnation of the habit some members have of taking a fel- low member’s wheel out without his leave, and the offenders were told, though no names were mentioned, thatthe penalty was expul- sion. Eugene Bicycle aturday Valentine of the King’s County Wheelman, will take part in the Cleveland tournament. He holds the twenty-five-mile record for his racing association. He is a fine athlete and splendidly developed. He is rich, has yachts and horses and hounds, but prefers to race on his bicycle. C. S. Luscomb has resigned from the execu- tive committee of the Team Railroad Associa- tion of New Jersey and New York on the ground that road racing being illegal and hurt- ful to cycling, it would be inconsistent for him toaid and abet it. Probably the Brooklyn Club will leave the Association for the same reason. All wheelmen who can get off for the ten days between August 20 and 29 are requested to send their names at once to the bicycle ed- itor of the Post- DISPATCH,as a tour probably to the Mammoth Cave, Ky., is being organized forthat date. The tour thus organized last year, which went through Ohio and Indiana, was one of the most suocessful of the season. Treasurer Brewster glanced over the Wheel- men’s Record r Suddenly he jumped to his feet. Jam going to ride 100 miles to- morrow, he exclaimed. ‘‘Why?’’ was the startied query. The Record says I am look- ing ruddy and plump. The next thing the membership will think I am living too high on the royal receipts of my office, soI must take to the road and wear off this cumbersome load of flesh till I look more like a slave. ‘The ju Chief-Consul Brewster has about decided to call the Missouri Division annual meeting for the last week in September, having it ona Saturday, so that the visitors can stay over Sunday. At the meeting would be elected a secretary-treasurer and racing and touring committees. There would probably be arun Saturday afternoon through the parks, fol- lowed the next day with a run to Ballwin, with a hill-climbing contest at Son-of-a-Gun. This is the probable programme, subject, uf course, to considerable change. The St. Louis Cycle Club will run to Belle- ville to-morrow. The club has now seventy- six members, and responses to its circulars are coming in encouragingly in the shape of applications for membership. Apropos to this. was the remark of an old — the other day. which will bear repeating: It's all right for the new club to be earnest and eager in getting members, butthey are treading on dangerous ground when they get to proselyt- ing. That thing has been the cause ofa great deal of bad blood in all kinds of societies. A bicycle for lady riders is promised for this fall to the Washington ladies. There are sev- eral fair riders in that city ready to take to this lady bicycle when it comes. It will be so. arranged that a lady who will learn to ride it can do so with as much grace and propriety as she could ride atricycle. It will be a modi- fication of the Rover type of bicycle for gen- tlemen with the backbone or frame curved downward like the letter U between the wheels, so that when the lady sits upon the suddie there will be no obstruction in the way of her dress between her feet and the saddle. The only trouble, said the dealer, Will be in mounting. Ladies who ride will have to have gentiemen with them to assist them in mounting. ‘*Phonix’’ of St. Louis is rapidly coming to vie with Karl Kron and other well-known con- tributors in the coplousness of his corre- spondence, Nearly ail the matter appearing in the cycling journals of the country from St. Louis is by him, and i¢ may favorably with any. the influence of Mr. Aaron’s seductive capacity for vituperation, the com- munications of ‘‘Pha@nix’’ last winter had none of the merit they now possess and the POST-DISPATCH then suggested that his abili- ties could be better — — than in supply- ing venom for the misguided official organ. Acting on that advice ‘‘Phanix’’ has raised the tone of his communications by pre- senting, withafew exceptions, the pleasant side of cycling. The wheelmen of St. Louis are particularly fortunate just now in having such a person as W. M. Brewster around. 41 they want to know anything about the national affairs of the League of American Wheelmen they go to W.M. Brewster, Treasurer of the L. A, W. If they want to know anything about Mis- Division they take W. X. w- Chief-Consul, over on the oth- er side where the Treasurer can't hear him. If they want to know anythin about racing they bar the other two and e on just W. M. Brewster, Member ot the Racing Board. If they want any information about the big Missouri Club, they visit W. X. Brewster, Captain of the Missouri Club. As he has not yet indicated which title he prefers some of his sportive club members have com- promised by calling him ‘ont a, which is supposed to be a corruption o h-Bah. The most amusing thing that the whe world has been treated to for some ene ae the announcement, evidently inspired, in a A paper the former senior editor of the rae organ of western cyeling is out of wheeling forever., After recover- ing from the shock local wheelmen have been trying to think when he was in — ony ize his moral! nfluences dence that enn prima facie ey}- | a Rg og OR : ——— like cycling first and their pockets next. Disgusting Skin Diseases. W hat spectacle ia more disgusting than that of a man or woman with a skin disease which shows itself in pimples and blotches on hands, arms, face and neck? It is simply impure blood. See what BRANDRETH’S PILLS did fora chronic case: f For four years I was in the Mounted Infantry in the U. S. Army, residing during that time principally in Texas. Almostallof that time I had a chronic skin disease, characterized by an eruption over the entire surface of my legs and thighs, arms and chest. The doctors termed it eczema. I had givenup all hopes of ever being cured, when BRANDRETH’S PILLS were recommended to me. I conciuded to try them, and did so, and I have thanked God daily since then that I did so. I think I used them altogether for about three months, and, by that time, was completely cured and have never had any trouble since. My skin is as clear as any one’s. GEORGE CHAPMAN.

CuHIcaGo, August 6.—The trial of the Chicago boodlers closed yesterday with the argument of Alexander Sullivan for the defense, fol- lowed by Mr. Grinnell for the State. During Mr. Grinnell’s address a recess was taken. were about leaving the court-room when Mr. Cottingham, one of the jurors, was overcome by the close air of the crowded room. He recovered sufficiently, however to be in his place when Judge Jamison read his instructions to the jury, after which the case was given to them. After waiting an hour and ahalfforthe return of the jury, Judge Jamison adjourned court until 6:30 p.m. About 90’clock it was rumored that the jury had agreed upon a verdict, and the eleven de- fendants were brought into the court-room and took their accustomed seats just as the ury filed into court. Then the clerk, in a rembling voice, read the verdict which found each of the defendants guilty of the offenses as charged in the indictments. THE SENTENCES. The following are the penalties imposed: Commissioner McLaughrey, two years. The extreme penalty of the law was three years and a fine of $1,000. Commissioner Ochs, two years. Commissioners Leyden, Van Pelt, Wren, Wasserman and Warden Varnell, all got two ears. * Commissioners McCarthy, Oliver Casselman and Glebs, a fine of $1,000. I move that the jury be polled,’’ shouted the irrepressible — It was done, and immediately thereafter the defendants who had escaped with a fine were released on bail. The others were remanded to jail. A motionfor anewtrial of everyone was ee entered by the defendants’ attorney lexander Sullivan, and then the crowd melted away in wonder. Dip you ever stop and think that you are spending a large pc-t of your income on stim- ulants and cigars that injure you, and that your poor patient little wife is worried with the care of housework until she is broken up, and still she struggies on from yearto year, when she breaks down? You wonder why the women of the period are nervous and pbysl- cally goodfor nothing. Don’t you think it would look better if you bought her some Moxie Nerve Food to drink? Give her double power of endurance. TELEGRAPAIC BREVITIES. Southern Wisconsin is suffering greatly from drouth. The Siamese Prince yesterday visited the White House.

MORE PROS AND CONS ON THE KISSING AND CARESSING QUESTION. Another Batch of Interesting Opinions on the Topic of the Hour—Lulu Gives Her Delightful Experience—Sam Believes in Kissing—Extremely Safe Tactics—Violet Gets Well-Merited Fits—Young Ladies Advised to Avoid Dudes—A Soft-Hearted Youth Gushes— Light From Numerous Standpoints. Dorothea’s interrogation point is being viewed from a multitute of standpoints, all more or less interesting as bearing on that charming period in life when two hearts are catching each other’s beating time. To-day a fiood of light, theoretical and practical, is thrown on the kissing and caressing subject, and the opinions given below will be found worth reading. „Beware of Triflers. To the Editor of the Post- Dispatch: Dran Sm Having read Dorothea’s letter and the various opinions on the subject, I wish to add mine to the number. The question of kissing during an engage- ment is a serious matter and should be well nsidered by all. “Generally the heart dictates whether you have a right to greet your lady-love with a kiss; but for those who are in doubt I volun- teer my advice. I speak from experience, and being a graduate, deserve some consideration. When a true manasks a lady to become hy wife, and she accepts, I think from that time on he is entitled to kiss her or she him, as of- ten as circumstances and his heart will permit. Invariably the contract is sealed with a good, wholesome and delightful kiss. Should my betrothed ever have refused me a kiss, especially when meeting or departing, I should have considered her a cold woman, and not the life-partner I was looking for. But, as I said before, this only holds good when the man is a true man, a man in whose care a woman can trust her kisses and heart as well as her character. Of such only,I speak. There are some men who do not deserve a good, true and noble woman for a wife, and, vice versa, there are some women who also do not deserve that true and noble man for a busband. Should such an engagement of a true man and woman ever be broken (which ie rarely the case), the lips of the man will re- main forever sealed in regard to those kisses he bad enjoyed during their engagement. No doubt, those fond and tender reculiec- tions of bygone days will be carefully stored away deep,deep into some corner of his heart, there to be tenderly cherished and preserved, not for others to see and enjoy, but simply for his own poor satisfaction. And now, Dorothea, if your Charlie is a true and good map (you must be jucge) let him kiss you and don’t be afraid to kiss him; but beware of trifiers. GRADUATE. Last St. Louis, II., August 4, 1887. Violet Gets Well-Merited Fits. To the Editor of the Post- Dispatch: Ihave been reading the various opinions given concerning ‘‘Dorothea’s Dot.“ I can- notsay 1 agree with Violet, although lama year younger than she. I think no gentleman could respect a girl who would sit in some park on a moonlight night, or any other night, and allow herself to be hugged and kissed and think it nice. The gentleman may take ad- vantage of her simplicity, ut rest assured, he will never respect her. 1 tbink a girl can have a jolly time, without allowing herself to be kissed and caressed by every gentleman she sees. I be- lieve in girls having some spunk and will of their own. And 1 think that Dorothea, who worries about these is nicer than the girl who makes herself publie property. Dorothea is the best judge of howshbe should act toward Charlie, and Violet’s opinion is poor indeed and unworthy of publication. MORALITY. St. Louis, August 5, 1877. things, From a Soft-Hearted Youth. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch: I: Dorothea! could only imagine a young and tender male dear, just turning his 23d summer, seated in the garden surrounding a pleasant home and pondering in his artiess, dreamy, ‘‘who-are-you-struck-on-now’’ sort of a manner—just the sort of a young man that tempted the inspiration of the poet when he quoted: ‘‘In the spring the young man’s fancy,’’ etc.—she and every other waiden in the village who has a tender look to bestow, not minding the ‘‘treat-to-ice-cream’’ expres- sion upon ber face, would relent. When 1 see each and every individual darling I look at her and wonder what happifiéss is bis lot who is her betrothed. I have given thought tothe argument, How would she actif she were engaged to me.’’ When I call every evening and am received in the dimly lit parlor (for a dimly lit parior is one of the regulations of engagements) on a summer evening, shall she,in her angelic grace, slowly glide towards the space that I occupy and with a ‘‘sorry-you-come’’ look ex- tend only her hand and say, How do, Ted?’’ No, Dorothea, you have the wrong idea, and as lexpectto be one ofthe unfortunates that marry young, lam gathering experience, and with the little Ihave learned I would like to have you here in the garden sitting beside me. The beautiful twilight has given way to the shades of night, the neighbors are nowhere in sight, and if you have a maiden’s heart I believe I could convince ou how wrong you are in asking tor advice. ut 1 think the original Dorothea is a girl past the age of 25 years, who, not taking heed of the maxim to ‘‘ Always accept every chance that you get, has cause to envy those upon whom these tender and harmless caresses are bestowed, and if she were here beside me this evening | would wager that before the light- ning-bugs begin their nightly frolic, we would be counting the stars with kisses, giving two extra for illuminated balloons, that is, if we were engaged, for 1 particularly draw the line on kissing upon mere or even intimate ac- quaintance, and Iam not bashful, either. St. Louis, August 5, 1887. TEDDY. Always Kiss the Right Person. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch: DEAR Sik—Please allow another Doro- thes (in name only) to put her fi nger in the pie, if only her little one, to tell Doro- thea to kiss Charlie all she wants, too, pro- vided he has a nice little mustache, dark brown; for kissing a fellow without one is like eating eggs without salt. A lady friend asked me yesterday why kissing was like eating soup withafork. I told her because we never get enough of either. I guess stop, for the present, any way, by saying kissing is all right, provided you donot kiss another woman’s husband or another man’s wife. " BROWN EYEs. Cote Brilliante, August 5, 1887. Young Ladies Avoid Dudes, To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch: DEAR SiR—I see that the discussion about Dorothea’s inquiry concerning the kissing question has come to a fever-heat, and as I have a little interest in this affair, I hold it from the start to be an utter nuisance, and that a young lady with self-respect would never ade her secrets tothe public, and were I in Chariie’s place, I would give her the g. b. in one minute. Young ladies, take my advice and do not be too free with your kisses, as a kiss sometimes leads to crime or misery for life. I see astatementin your last edition froma young lady stating that there Was no barm in kissing, and she would kiss a young man for a plate of ice-cream, even while not eng ed (she calls herself Bessie) and would think it no wrong to do a0. man while single, en ed o t but she should 41. otto to ler thi But ifa young lady induiges in kissing too © an expect, nine times out of ten, that the young man will to take liberties with ber wh ope Miss Dorotbea’s mind will be cleared up ac WwW 1 Rade if she reads this. ng * Yours respectfully, W. OC. D. Lalo’s Delightful Experience. v the Editor of the Post- Dispatch: Ihave been astonished, to say the least, at the variety of opinions that people hold as to the propriety ' q's ' 1 Lz 1 other. Ihave never had any doubt as to the impropriety of a young lady allowing a yo man to kiss her without being his flancee. should consider myself insulted it a young man should ask me for a kiss, or even 1 one; but, as the saying is, I have been there.’’ My Johnny asked me half a dozen times to m „ but Ialways answered bim in u ſest; but when he would not be put off any longer and wanted a definite answer I asked for several days to make my decision, but when parting at the door he pleaded for an immediate answer. I yielded and said yes. He took my hand and kissed itin sucha re- spectful manner, that although I had expected a more fervent demonstration, I felt rouder and more gratified than if he had fulfilled my e tations. We were engaged several —— before he ventured to ask the rivilege of kissing my lips. He had contente himseif with my forehead and cheek, and then only at arting, although while chatting together my ot would be gently caressed from time to time. Even after my lips were accorded him (I never thought of refusing) he would not always avail himself of them, although I have been told that my lipe are my sole beauty, being shaped like Cupid’s bow and al- ways ‘‘cherry ripe.’’ He even used to kiss my bangs, and when I remarked how silly that was be replied thatthey were a part of me, and, as he loved me, it did not matter much where he kissed me; that if he kissed my lips alone it was passion, net love. We are parted now, . his failure to keep one of the conditions that I had made necessary to our union. And, although he became nearly crazy in his despair, I refused to grant him another trial, as I found thatI did not love him suf ciently to overlook his faults. Now, as to my lips being second-hand, I have nothing to say. If that were a great objection I do not think so man widows would get second, and even third and fourth husbands Now, I think that it Dorothea allows her Char- ley and even gives him an occasional kiss during the evening, that she ts not committing the ‘‘uopardonabie sin. But promiscuous kissing among young people when not en- gaged, Ido not believe in, and during mv short experience the girls of my acquaintance that indulge their gentlemen friends are ev- erybody’s darling and no one’s in particular. Now, I think a young man likes to be able tb say of his girl, ‘‘She’s nobody's darling but mine. oping that you will forgive the length of this letter and publish it for poor rothea’s benefit I remain, Yours respectfully, LULU. St. Louis, August 5, 1887. By All Means Let Us Kiss. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch: As the article of Dorothea is attracting gen- eral interest, and being one of the number who profess to ‘‘know something about it, I send the enclosed, hoping it may be accepta- ble as one more opinion, for it truly does de- pend on personal opinion and feeling whether or nota couple kiss. As Hamlet says: To kiss or not to kiss, that is the question. Whether ‘tis nobler in the mind to suffer The unsatistied desires of a loving heart, Or to seize the opportunity without delay, And by kissing prove your love. I agree with Harriet that intellect is all right, butthe average man would rather a woman prove that intellect, (at least on the subject of love) by a little demonstration of nature. True it is, one may regret ifan engagement is broken, thatthey have kissed, but if the wan they have kissed be a man, one need not feel they have lost any self-respect, for we are allhuman,and how are we w express our love, if not by a kiss? I hold, a kiss is the most sacred of allthings. It is misused to asad ex- tent, but are not all the better things of life sometimes abused? And when promiscuous kissing ceases, we will nolonger ask who shouid kiss? for our hearts will dictate. Oh, ye pious prudes, who detest all joy and pleasure, And think each pulse of passion isa certain source of sin, Come, read this little ditty, and admit that in 3 measure, The divinest of your doctrines are absurdly too t * in; For lote's indeed the essence of the loftiest exist- ence— The lowest life is sacred if true love it doth not miss. Oh, ve iong-faced, long-eared donkeys, do you deem your maxims better than the bcisterous blood of beauty, As it ripples through the heart of some modest little maiden as she reads her first love-leiter? Is there any law so sacred as the law of soul selec- tion? : Was there ever an enchanter balf so subtle asa kiss? VENUS. „Sam“ Believes in Kissing. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch: DEAR S1rR—I have read with some interest the articles of advice given Dorothea through the colums ofthe PosT-DISPATCH. If every one else is so much interested in Dorothea,why not I? Now, Miss Dorothea, I am a married man. Therefore, you may readily see I speak from experience. If you love Charlie kiss him by all means, not only once, but 100, yes, 1,000times. The more the better, and if Charlie is a true, noble man he will appreciate every one ot them. If kissing him lowers you in his es- timation, he will not make you a loving hus- band, suchan inclination on his part will only show hima brute, and that he had im- proper motives from the first. By kissing him you showa token of/ your affection, which elevates you in his/estimation. The more kisses the higher the Flevation, without them he thinks you cool 4nd distant, and deliver me from a 0 unaffectionate woman. One says, suppose the engagement is bréken, then what?

Do you know, I always feel like choking such men? Ihave waited upon young ladies who considered it impudent to kiss their lovers. lassure you when once refusedI gave them ever after a wide berth. It was an indica- tion they possessed no affection for me. Yes, ‘‘Dorothea,’’ kiss Charlie and allow him to kiss you. It he hasn’t the grit to do so, let me kiss you for him. I would kiss Miss B.— kiss Violet, too; yes, kiss them all. Oh! thou blissful kiss, let thy silver wings float on every breeze. Thouartthe touch that strikes the softest note of love; softer than the softest note of Apollo’s goidem harp; thou art the cheapest commodity in the world, paying 10 per cent to both borrower and lender; thou art the outword token of the noblest passion of the soul (love); avillain may use thee to de- ceive, but he cannot destrov your value. Mineral Point, Mo.. August 5. SAM. Extremely Safe Tactics. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch: DEAR Stn—Like many others, I have become interested in Dorothea’s Dot kissing. If you will be kind enough to insert my views of the matter, you will confer a favor. I don’t think there is any harm in kissing before marriage, if both he and she love each other, and she has confi- dence in him, but should she have an idea it is morally wrong, I would suggest that it might be a great source of happiness to herself and her lover to kiss the diamond ring on her third finger. AN OLD TIMER. City, August 5, 1887. Hard on Poor Dorothea. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch: I notice a great deal about Dorothea’s terri- ble ‘‘dilemma’’ in your p&per, and also a great many answers giving good advice, but I think it is useless, as the poor girl has un- doubtedly Jost what little brains she ever had and any got up this fuss in hope some one would find her out and give her afew of the long-sought-for kisses. If there isa man by the name of ‘‘Charlie’’ in love with her he ought to be shot for going with the little fool. COUNTRY ; Boonville, August 5, 1887. * Hint to Suffering Wives.

In presence of all the French troong gunrding the capita! of Tonquin, the Gor. | ernor-General | Cross of the Legion of Honor on recentiy bestowed the a nun Mother Mary Teresa, Superioress of th, Sisters of Charity in that Empire. Th troops were drawn up in the principal laza of the city in à square surround. nz a platform on whieh were the Goy. ernor-General and his staff. When ay aide-de-camp was sent to bring the nus he found herinthe hospital consoling 3 soldier who was having his leg ampu— tated. She refused to leave the becdside until the operation was completed and then followed the officer fo the square, where she was received by the General in person and led up tothe plat. form amid the joyful exclamations of the soldiers. The General then commanded silence and in a solemn and impressive tone addressed her as follows: Mother Mary Teresa, when you were 20 years of age you received a wound from a cannon-ball while assisting one of the wounded on the field of Balaklava. I) 1859 the shell from a mitrailleuse laid vou rostrate in the front rank on the battle. eld of Magenta. Since then you have been in Syria, in China and in Mexico, and if you were not wounded it was not because you have not ex. posed yourself to the shot of gun and cannon and sabers and lances of the enemy. In 1870 you were taken up in Reischoffen covered with many saber wounds among a heap of dead cuirassiers, Such deeds of heroism you have crowned a few weeks ago with one of the most he- roic actions which history records. A grenade fell upon the ambulance which was under your charge; it did not burst, butit might have done so at any mo- ment, and caused new wounds in the bodies of those who were already wounded; but there you were—you took up the grenade in your arms; you smiled upon the wounded who looked at — with feelings of dismay, not for hemselves but for you, and you carvied it away toa distance of eighty meters. On laying it down you noticed that it was going to burst; you threw yourself on the ground; it burst; you were scen covered with blood, but when persons came to your assistance, you rose up smiling, as is our wont, and said, ‘That is nothing!’ ou are scarcely recovered from your wound, and you return to the hospital whence I have just now summoned you.” During these words of praise the good nun held her bead modestly cast down, with her eyes fixed upon her crucifix that hung by her side. Then the General made her kneel down, and, drawing bis sword, touched her lightly with it three times upon the shoulder and pinned the Cross of the Legion of Honor on her habit, saying with a quivering voice: **T put upon you the cross of the brave. inthe name of the French people and army; no one has gained it by more deeds of heroism, nor by a life so completely spent in self-abnegation for the benefit of your brothers and the service of your country. Soldiers! present arms!’’ The troops saluted,the drums and bugles rang out, the air was filled with loud ac- clamations and all was jubilation and ex- citement as Mary Teresa rose up, her face suffused with blushes, and asked: Gen- eral, have you finished’’’ Ves,“ said he. „Well, then, I am going back to my wounded soldier in the hospital!“ THE HIGH-TRAPEZE WOMAN. She Tells How She Taught Herself to Bal- ance and How She Fell Headlong One Day. From the New York Mall and Express. The circus woman who rushes into the ring, bows, catches a strap with her teeth and is hauled to the top of the tent, where she finds rest on a single swinging trapeze bar, has nosinecure. Every motion isthe result of years of labor and hard practice. A Mail and Express reporter interviewed one of these queens of the air and found that her sawdust title was not gained without courage and patience. She said: The art of balancing on a swinging trapeze is more difficult than active gym- nastics. I began to accustom myself to the circus ring at 6 years of age. At 7 1 could turn hand-springs. My mother was aslack-wire walker, and her ambition was to have me follow in her footsteps, so to speak. Somehow [ had an — 2 to the slack wire, but radually Iwas taught to balance on it. t the age of 10I could doa little walk- ing onthe wire, but I always kept the wire swinging to and fro. Ina few years more I could do anything on the slack- wire, and grew ambitious to perform oth- er feats. I was between 17 and 18 years old when I first ascended to a high trapeze bar. A network was spread under to catch me if I fell. The more I looked be- low the more certain I became that I could never get used to the high trapeze. My instructor shouted up to me not to look down at all, but to keep my eyes fastened on the ropes that supported the trapeze bar. Ishould have known that before, because in balancing on the slack-wire lalways kept my eyes fixed ona level in front of me. I obeyed orders and be- ntotry what is known as the simple lance position. Islipped and whirled through the air to the netting below. I wanted to giveitupthen. All my ambi- tion seemed to ooze out of me. But I was made to go right up agate and try it over. That angered me and I became reckless. I su ed admirably and found that by keeping the bar in motion I could balance myself much better. I fell several times while practiciug, but received no injuries on account of the netting below. Day after day | would go up and work four or five hours y. After six months I was permitted to perform for the public. I did not do 80 many positions, as we call then, as I did afterwards, but 1 felt that 1 should be a success.
