Smith of No. 10 Dean street, this city, who says she is a sister of John McCullough, the actor, states that when he came to this country a mere lad, he became separated from his family when they arrived at Castle Garden, New York. He was cared for bv a man who, not being able to find his guardians, took him to Philadelphia, where when very young he found his way on the stage. McCullough was apparently not discovered by his relatives until a comparatively recent time. wh»n Mrs. Smith, his only sister, found he had become famous, and immediately wrote to him inquiring about his former life, but says she has reason to believe that all her letters were intercepted, as she never re ceived a reply to any of them. Through a friend who had conversation with McCul lough and questioned him in regard to his former life, she tound out that there were no reasons for doubting that McCullough was her brother. She also says that a man who has been with McCullough on the stage has borrowed a great deal of money from him, not long ago borrowing $10,000, and that he is attempting to prove that McCullough has no relatives for the purpose of coming into possession of McCullough's money. It has been stated lately that McCullough has a wife and two sons, one 30 and the other 34 years of age, but this statement Mrs. Smith declares is entirely false, as McCullough was never married. GEN. GRANT. No Material Change in the General’s Condition. Mt. McGbeoob, June 29. Dr. Douglas* attended General Grant, cleansed hit throat, painted it with cocoaine, and administered the usual allowance of ano dyne the last part of the night. From that time until five o’clock the General was qniet. At that hour Dr. Douglass was called, after which the patient reqaired no attention until 9 o’clock, when he was aroused. His physi cian believes the General slept nearly nine hours last night. He says that the glandular swelling outside has subsided to a minimum. The infiltration shows a disposition to extend upward upon the right cheek and less ten dency to spread downward and forward upon the neck. At 1.30 Gen. Grant had not been dressed. He had rested in his room all the morning, and at noon he explained to Dr. Douglass thst his throat caused him no trouble and that he remained quiet in order that the ease might continue. Deapite the favorable conditions, it must be understood that the physician is not with out apprehension, and that he in no way re laxes his vigilence. In the afternoon Gen. Grant wrote upon his pad, telling Dr. Dougiaaa he had no pain and was feeling as well as on Sunday. The prolonged quiet of the sick man, however, did not assure all his friends, and it hav ing become evident to him that that such was the case he wrote during the afternoon these words: “Do as I do, take it quietly. I give my self not the least concern. If I knew the end was to be to-morrow I would try and get rest in the meantime, as long as there is no progress there is hope.”| Between 8 and 9 o’clock the General was put to bed. and at 9.30 he seemed to be sleep ing. Dr. Douglass then thought the patient wonld pass a qniet night. The Modern Method of Going Into Bu.iness. Omaha, Neb., June 29. L. S.

The betting was now furious, the odds of 100 to 90 at first given on Farrell changing to even terms. There was fully 96000 in the pool box, and before the last heat was started there were rumors that Farrell had sold out. Farrell allowed his opponent to start fully a second in advance, and was then barely beaten out in the finish in ten seconds. Far rell’s baekers are greatly incensed at his con duct.

Though many of the regiments have come long di« dirtances to participate in the affair there will not be a single company presect to rep resent either Philadelphia or the State of Pennsylvania.

Elkins has forwarded a letter to the commissioner of the general land office, in which be says: In your recent report to the secretary of the interior on the Maxwell grant in New Mexico, extracts from which I have teen in the newspapers the following appears: “The contract for the survey was given to a brother of the alleged owner of the grant, and the alleged owner was hit bondsman.” Inasmuch as my brother, John T. Elkins, was the deputy U. 8. surveyor who made the survey, and I was on hit bond, I assume you refer to me when you use the words “alleged owner." In this yon are in error. I am not now and never was an owner, directly or indirectly in the Maxwell grant. I have no interest, dtrectly or indi rectly, ia the suit now pending in the courts to set aside the patent, and am indifferent at to the result thereof. I find myself obliged to make this statement because upon your report a number of paper* have connected my name with the grant at being the owner, and being interested in the pending litiga tion, and therefore a party to what your re port makes fraud upon the government. A delegation of representatives of various American steamship lines called on the post master general today to reargue the claim for the distribution of the 8400,000 appropriated by the last Congress for carrying the U. S. mail*.

The postmaster general, after hear ing the arguments announced that he saw no reason to change his previously expressed views upon the subject. Some discussion was had as to the terms upon which the com panies should continue to carry the mails. The representatives all expressed themselves at desirous of serving the government, and said they did not wish to appear in a position of refusing contumaciously to abide by the decision of the administration, but at the same time regretted very much that such a conclusion had been arrived at. FOR SHOOTING ROS8A. Trial ol Mrs. Dudley—The Dynamiter ou the Stand. New York, June 29.

O’DonoTan Rossa was the first witness called by the prosecution. Being asked his name he said, "Jeremiah O’Donovan Rossa.” “That is not his name,” called out Mrs. Dudley. "Where did he get Rossa from?” The next question was, "What’s your bus iness?” “Dynamiter,” shouted Mrs. Dudley, and then Rossa said, "journalist” Continuing O'Donovan said, Mrs. Dudley had agreed to donate 9900 in installments. She said she didn’t like dynamite where it would take innocent lives. O’Donovan tes tified that he didn’t like that kind of business either. As witness said that Mrs. Dudley arose to her feet and glaring at the witness shouted “liar.” The prisoner was forced to her seat. Witness continued that be had told the prisoner his only purpose was to liberate Ireland. "Getting money from servant girls and swindling them,” interjected Mrs. Dudley. Witness identified note sent him by prison er, and told how in response to one of them he met her in the Stewart building. Mrs. Dudley offered him a receipt to sign in the telegraph office of the building, but he re fused to sign it he said. "You’re a liar?” shouted Mrs. Dudley, "You never read the receipt; you didn’t dare to go so far.” and then turning to the jury she shouted; “You had better get away from that mao! You can’t tell what will happen. He’s only petjuring himself.” In another moment Mrs. Dudley cried imploringly, “Won't somebody knock that man out of the window?” O'Donovan went on to say he suggested that they go to a more appropriate place to talk the matter over and as they left the tel egraph office she shot him. He fell. “You got scared and dropped,” shouted the woman O'Donovan did not remember how many shots were fired. "No, you were too frightened, Jeremiah,” remarked the prisoner and then she added, "for God’s sake don't kill me, you forgot to tell that.” Witness said he believed she shot again after he had fallen, but could not tell bow many shots were fired. “I thought so; wern’t you frightened, O'Donovan?” again interrupted the prisoner. During the remainder of O’Donovan’s giv ing of evidence, Mrs. Dudley kept up her re marks of scorn and sarcasm. As O’Donovan stepped down from the witness stand, he passed the prisoner on his way to the door, and Mrs. Dudley shouted in his face, “down with dynamiters; God save the Queen,” and then added tauntingly, “don't kill me, don’t kill me, for God’s sake.” To be Tried lor Perjary.

Gainesville, Tex., June 29. That portion of the southern section of Indian Territory known as “Delaware Bend” has suddenly leaped Into notoriety aa the scene of wholesale lynching* on a grand scale. It has become the rendezvous for the worst gang of outlaws that ever existed. Their depredations on live stock and other property of the people of Northwest Texas bave so exasperated the people that they have taken the law, and a plentiful supply of rope into their own hands and have declared a war of extermination against the outlaws. Today five more lynching* are reported in addition to the recent report that 15 men had been hanged in two weeks. Efforts to sub stantiate the last mentioned report resulted in the positive proof of the hanging, a week ago, near Healdtown, of Frank Morgan. Bill Williams, and a boy named Moore. All three were strung up on one limb. Some of the posse climbed upon the limbs and pressed down with their feet upon the shoulders of the criminals in order that they might die quicker. After the men were dead they were cut down and buried together. The posse then started on a man hunt to Wachlt*, and reports have come back to the effect that they captured and lynched nine more, thus making a total of twelve. The noted detective, John Duncan, at the head of a squad of well armed men, hat gone to Indian Territory in search of the outlaws, Jim and Hank Lee. He carries with him three well trained blood hounds which he will use when the trail it struck. It it learned that three other squads are also in the Held on the tame errand. Ever since the murder of the Roll boys there hat been a reward of •5000 offered for these men. but tbit is the first effort made to effect their capture. The Lee boys bave long been terror* to the Dela ware Bend people. In the past .few months they have been loafing around that section stealing indiscriminately. They hare re peatedly announced that they would never surrender, and interesting newt may be ex pected when the detectives reach there. AN INFERNAL MACHINE Is This an Advertisement for Mr. flaiitb! Philadelphia, June 29. An infernal machine of a rather clumsy pattern was sent to L. Lum Smith, publish er of a weekly paper. It was a wooden box about five inches square and three inches high. The word “private” on the lid of the box aroused Smith’s suspicions. He opened the box cautiously and found a 33 calibre breech loading Derringer inside. It waa loaded and cocked. A piece of cop. per wire was attached to the trigger and fastened to the lid of the box, but in such a manner that opening the box could not pos sible have discharged the pistol. The postal authorities are investigating the matter. A Frightful H torus. Waises, N. H„ June 29. A severe storm of wind, rain and hall passed over here at noon, accompanied by thunder and lightning.

He Give* a (tlniii Speech, in Which he Emphatically Deaeaaees the Den*. crelic Scheme* la the Civil service Law. Borrow, June 29. A large number of gentlemen representing the bar and bench, pulpit and platform, countinc room and council chamber, were in attendant* at a reception gieen to-night by the Norfolk Club in honor of Gen. Logan, at the Parker House. Gen. Logan was enthu siastically cheered when he appeared, and Mrs. Logan waa also eery cordially re ceived. Among the diatingniahed gentlemen present were Asa French, Gov. Robinaon, Lieut. Gov. Ames. Hon. A. Pillsbury, pree Went of the senate. Speaker Bcackett of the House, Congressmen Long and Ely, 8enator Hoar, ex-Gov. Bourne of Rhode Ielaud, Henry Cobot Lodge. Hon. Henry B. Pierce, Oakes Ames, Hon. R. R. Bishop and Col. E. N. Haskell. Gov. Robinaoo made the opening speech after which Gen. Logan was introduced, be ing treated to an ovation as he arose to speak. Speaking of “reforms," Gen. Lognn said: “In my opinion a reform wkick will guaran tee personal rights will ha of more advantage to the country than the transferring of the feuds of the government from the tub-treas ury of tbe United States to banks." Of civil service reform, he saW s “It is the child of the republican party, bat unfortu nately It has been put out to nurse with n stranger, and if not dead now, looks sick un to dauth." The law Is now being construed to the ef fect that the pereen who voted the republican ticket at the last election, committed a crime against the “pesce and dignity" of the dem ocratic party, a new offense here nnknown to law or politics, to wit: ‘-Offensive partisan ship. The “offensive partisan" is tha re publican; the “effective partisan" is tha democrat. He is to be appointed as s re ward for his political seal. His appointment will not improve public service, I fancy, but is made for partisan reasons only. Demo crats have been diligently searching for “rascals," with a view tp turning out, as they should have been, had tney been found. Every time they have scratched for a “rascal," they have found an “offensive par tisan,” anil have instantly turned him oat. In conclusion, Gen. Logan expressed his confidence in the successful future of the republican party. Alter Gen. Logan had concluded, speeches were made by Gov. Long, ex-Collector Beard. Senator Hoar, ex-Gov.

When a government bureau haa nothing at its disposal nut an old pickle-jar full of dried grasshoppers and three pints of a new style ol pumpkin seeds It cannot be expected to render that broad and compre hensive aid to native industry which the lathers of our glorious institutions con templated. The Russian Government has muzzled the press on the Afghan border question. Possibly one purpose of this order is to prevent the press from furnishing any in formation to England concerning such military movements ns may be going on in Russian Turkestan. It is sometimes rather convenient tor a government to be able to stop the publication of news, and the military authorities in the Soudan ap pear to have acted on this theory, (n their case, however.there is an awkward Nem esis in the subsequent revelations sure to be made by the unfettered correspond ents when they return home. Russia has nothing ol the same kind to apprehend, however, for she can send any too candid correspondents to Siberia. The question ot the practice of poly gamy among members of the Mormon church has now assumed such a phase that it must fairly and squarely be faced and dealt wit'i by the authorities as a crime of the worst dye. Not only has the practice invaded other Territories than Utah, but even more than one adjacent State. W hen in its infancy it pleaded that there was no express law ngHinst it. The common law did not deal with it because it had never contemplated its deliberate commission, and no Federal statute had as yet boon passed controlling the Terri tories in that respect The Latter Day Saints further claimed that it formed part of the exercise of their religion and as such was protected by the Constitution. Whatever may be said tor such audacious if not specious reasoning, ail that is now changed. A bigamy statute was at length passed by Congress, but unfortunately permitted to remain tor many years a dond letter, probably in hopes that its mere existence on the statute books would have a deterrent effect; but when forbear ance became no longer a virtue the law was at length put in force and the opinion of the Supreme Court of the United States firmly expressed, affirming the per fect constitutionality ot the statute in question. The past week brought forth tittle new In trade and business circles, and the re ports from the leading business centres are to the effect that trade continues quiet and singularly free from speculative move ments. The bank funds continue to in crease, though not so rapidly as for some weeks previously, and the demand for money in the interior has by no means equalled the expectations. The movement of general merchandise continues to be made up almost wholly of hand-to-mouth purchases. Philadelphia merchants have been Inclined to take a more hnpefri! view ot trade prospects in the near future, since the settlement o( the Pennsylvania labor troubles, but their hopefulness is not •hared by the merchants ol New York and Boston. Industrial interests are de pressed, and cotton anti woolen mill men •re inclined to regard the outlook as op posed to a revival, and their complaints as to the effects of the late heavy sales of cotton and woolen fabrics at the Hast are based, they claim, on the injury done the textile man ifarturing interests. There has probably been more activity in the Boston dry goods market than in any locality, but even here there is little en couragement except for jobbers. The wool market in Boston has been more ac tive than for some time, but prices are unchanged, and so long as manufactured goods remain so cheap, there is little prob ability of a change for the better. Cotton prices have fluctuated to some extent in Liverpool, and this has naturally had some effect on the home market. Reports as to the earning ootton crops still continue -highly favorable. The iron market re mains quiet with prioes unchanged, and there is little ground to expect any im mediate improvement. Reports as to the shortage in the wheat crop still vary, but it la probable that it will not be less than 150.000,000 bushels. Wheat prices are •till kept down. The present ia the criti cal period for the crop. About the only activity apparent in the business world is in the direction of business failures. Of these 184 were reported to Bradstreet’s daring the week, as compared with 170 weeks of 1884,1885. aad 1882. Abort the only reason for pittade liie business wma baa is that matters an no worn. The preeent la a good time to cultivate an optimistic spirit.—Norton Traveler. A Gold Finder. A correspondent of the Now York 8nn writes as follows of a resident of Middle bmry, Ct: His name is Ebenexer Worcester. He is abort SO rears old, of remarkably study build and intelligent features, and uses good language, interspersed occasionally perhaps with a -be gosh” in genuine Yankee style. Home years ago be obtained from a party of Spaniards two sets of instruments, so ar ranged that with them he cooid locate both gold and silver—one instrument for each metal. The knowing ones looked upon him and said that he was daft when he told them about his powers. People's jokes at bis expense are now be ginning to decrease. Recently a man from Norwich came to him to test his powers Taking him to the proximity of a national bank, he asked bow much gold there was in the neighborhood. The instrument palled towsrds tbe bank and indicated (15,000. Inquiry at the bank revealed the fact that they had that day received (18.000 in gold. The Norwich man then took him down the Hound to the neighborhood of the place where the Lexington went down with a Urge amount of gold. Divers have for some time been trying to locate the spot, among them Cap tain Scott, under the direction of Dr. Swift. Tbe instrument pointed towards the wreck at a distance of eight miles and revealed the very place where the vessel had gone down. Word was at once sent to a relative of the Norwich man who it a diver in Mexico, and he is now on his wsy hare to search for tbe booty. Mr. Worcester* power* hare frequently been tested in private house*, and in one case revealed the location of $87.50 which had stolen and hidden in a drawer by one of the inmates of lhe house Of late he ha* been attracting consider* ble attention by hi* delving on what i* known as the Benedict lot. This was formerly a sandbank,owned by the late Aaron Benedict, of the firm of Benedict t Burnham. It wa* levelled by a steam-shovel to make room for the Waterbary Watch Company’* famous faotorv. There i* a story here that 70 year* ago two pirates came from Fort Peekakill, N. H.. with a large amount of gold which they buried in this hill while they went on to Boston. When they returned, marts* 'of in dication had beon lost, but 8quire Frederick J. Kingsbury, Sr., remembers having gone with them at the lime with the owner of ths property while they dug for the bidden gold. They claimed that there wa* $40,000 in an iron pot without having been enlightened a* to the story. Farmer Worcester was brought to the place, and asked if he could locate the gold After making the test he said that there was about $20,000 there somewhere. Not until after the hill had been levelled did he obtain permission to do any digging. Then he found that part of the gold had been carried away in the refuse. Going to the place where this had been dumped, he suc ceeded in finding a few dollars. Now he has commenced operations in earnest on the Benedict lot. He lias dug down some twelve feel, notwithstanding the ridicule of the whole community. At last hit patient toil has been rewarded by the finding of several pieces, worth about $20 each, and coined in the early pari of this century. The result is that one or two offers, he says, have been made to him tor the right to prosecute his search in that place, but he refuses them all and it very confident of obtaining his fortune here. A California gentleman called on him the other day and offered him a large sum if he would go with him to the gold regions. He will consider the proposition. The Wheat Shortage. Milwadkek, Wis June 25.—S. W. Tall madge, of Milwaukee, presents his monthly crop report and second estimate on the prob able wheat yield of the United States for 1885, at follows: There is do longer a question as to the damage and loss to the winter wheat of this country. A falling off ot 160,000.000 bushels in winter wheat from last vear is a calamity, and is unprecedented in the history of wheat raising in the United States. The present condition of spring wheat is good. We must have favorable weather until harvest to pro duce the amount ot wheat shown in the table, as the estimates made are based on the pres ent conditions. The acreage in Minnesota, Nebraska and Wisconsin is somewhat de creased. Iowa, about the same as Dakota, is slightly increased. The estimates, as tabulated by States and territories, are based upon late information from the Stale agricultural departments and other reliable authorities, and are as nearly correct as estimates can be. They show the probable yield of spring wheat to be 121,000, 000 bushels, and winter wheat 210,000,000 bushels; total spring and winter, 331,000,000 bushels. From these figures it will be seen that the crop of 188b, compared with 1884. will show a shortage in winter wheat of 160.000. 000 bushels, and spring srheat of 22.000. 000 bushels, or a total shortage of spring and winter of 182,000,000 bushels. The average wheat yield ot the winter states for five years past la 461,0000,000 bushels. The estimate, therefore, shows a shortage, compared with the average five years past ot 130.000. 000Jiushels._ Twice Wrongly Convicted. To-dav's papers, oddly enough, do not re port a curious statement made in the House of Commons last night by Sir William Har court. He said that shortly after be became Home Secretary his attention was called to the case of a man who had been sentenced to eight years’ penal servitude for perjury and had served two years of the sentence. In quiry showed that the man was innocent, and he was pardoned. It then turned out that 15 years previously the same man had been sen tenced to 10 years’ penal servitude for burg lars', and after he had served two years of that sentence he was found to be innocent, and received a free pardon, being thus twice wronglv convicted and twice pardoned.—Lon don Globe.

A passenger car is attached to the Sunday getripaper train this season Marshal Morse baa disposed of bis truck teams and appliance* to J. L. Fiali. Nine sbeep have been killed by dog* in a pasture near tbe Outlet in Manchester. The foundation of the new Court House addition is up ready for the wood work. After tea drives make the road lively on favorable evenings, between this city and Gardiner. Yesterday’s rain was a great boon to the crops and will increase the hay crop from ten to twenty per cent. Several down river passengers misted tbe accommodation train yesterday morning, for getting the change of time. -s The plans and specifications for the new St. Mark's church are now ready, and bids for tbe whole work will be received to July 20th. Two large salmon having gained entrance to the lock at the east end of the dim, have bem couflmd there, attracting many visitors to the place. The Maine Central Company are more than doubling the siding near Rich's ice house, in Karmingdale. Four freight trains crossed there at one time, recently. Wilkinson, the murderer oi the Bath po liceman, will hang next November. He re alizes that his days are numbered, but talks calmly about his impending doom, with the officers of the prison Superintendent Tucker of the M. C. R. R. has just issued a new order that all baggage that does not reach the station in season to go on the same train with a ticket holder, shall be forwarded on the next train. The most dainty aprons are made in em broidered muslin and lace, with bibs and rib bon braces carried on to the shoulders, gauze ribbon, just such as was worn fifty years ago, having the preierence over every other. Warden Beane of the State Prison was in the city yesterday, having in his custody a man named Andrew llewes, who he was tak ing from the prison to the Insane Hospital by order of the Governor and Council, llewes committed forgery in Bangor, A dug was locked into one uf the millinery stores on the street at 6 o'clock last night, and becoming uneasy, sprung up to the win dow, trampling over the dainty hats and rib bons. Tlie animal was released from his confinement as soon as possible. The afternoon mail arrives in this city on the local train which leaves here at 8.10 in stead of on the Yankee, leaving at 2 47. Al though there is a difference of 28 minutes in the time of trains, practically it makes but little odd# in the delivery of the mails. The woods are full of the "critur" out to Togtts. Yesterday Officer Ames discovered half a dosen bottles of contraband liquor in the swamp a short distance from Mr. Joshua Downs' house. He reached into hiding places the length of his arm to obtain some i of it. The Maine Central conductors appeared for duty yesterday in their bran new uniforms and the much talked of "swallow-tail" coat#. These, however, are not "swallow-tail” at all, but are nevertheless a very handsome coat. The uniform it a pretty one, and as it has already been fully described it will suffice to say that a gilt clover leaf on each side of the collar of the coat adds much to its general neat appearance. Augustus Gove, the Hotel North robber, was arraigned before Judge Andrews yester day morning, the charge being larceny in the night, lie was bound over under $600 bonds. On being questioned in regard to the miasing money, he denied all knowledge of it, although in a sheepish manner. Young Gove is evi dently not a hardened criminal. The penalty of his Hotel North crime is not less than one, or more than twenty years ia State Prison. Thr Kev. William D. Martin has accepted the position of principal of St. Catharine's Hull. Mr. Martin is about 50 years of age, •cholsrly character and of long experience in teaching. He was partly educated iu Europe and before entering the ministry had been head of a private school in Baltimore, Md., 0,14 years. Mrs. Martin is very highly •poken of as a lady of cultivation and exeel ent judgment. Although she will have no ^fflcial connection with the school, her in fluence cannot but be largely felt for good.

Tour mem bers of the board and tbe aeeretary were present, Drs. Young, Horr and Jordan be ing abseot. The secretary was authorised to issue eicu lars to physicians in the towns,to ascertain in regard to tbe local sanitary conditions. Also circulars on the construction and management of earth closets in places where water closets are not available, and one each on the pre vention and restriction of diptheria, scarlet fever and typhoid fever. The subject of tbe proposed delivery of addresses before teachers’ institutes by mem bers of the board and its secretary, waa dis cussed. It was decided that as many address es aa possible should be delivered the coming fall. The following by-law was given a passage: No papers -hall be published la the annual report of this board except such as are ordered or approved lor purposes ol such publication by a majority of the members of th- board; aid any such pap-r shall be published over the signature of the writer, who Is entitled to tbe credit of the production, as well as re sponsible for tbe statements of facts and opinions expressed therein. A vote of thanks was extended to the press for favors The committee of the board to which was left the matter of selecting a hygienic text book for use in the common schools, have had the matter under consideration and will report in about a week. They have had about fifteen different works to select from An effort has been made to have a book largely devoted to temperance selections, adopted. No time for the next meeting was assigned. The Superior Court adjourned yesterday, after an unusual long term for summer. Six divorces were granted and two cases remain unsettled. TOO LARUE ETEH FOR JEW YORK. A Urest Show that« an Only Be Seen Under Canvss. It is a fact generally conceded that, not withstanding the great size of the building known as Madison Square Garden, in New York City, a building which measures 400 feet long and 250 teet wide, it has always been inadequate to exhibit all the features of the Barnum and London United Shows. But here, when the nine shows are exhibited un der canvas, the entire circus complete, with all its myriad curious and marvelous objects, will be seen at one time for one single admis sion. To understand properly what this means, one must consider the enormous amount of material and the many curious objects comprising these nine shows. There are 7 advertising cars in advance, upon each of which there are 30 men, or 210 in all. There are over 24 advance agents of various kinds. With the shows are 614 people, and included in the latter are 300 performers. There are 28 tents, the largest 585 feet long and 360 wide, two of 300 feet each in length, and two of 200 fe« t. One of these is occu j pied as an elephant pavilion, containing a I herd of elephants, besides Jumbo, the #200-, j 000 white sacred elephant, bought from King J Theebau, of Burrnah There are stables containing 400 draught b,rses andll5 ponies, and over 100 performing horses, besides 23 j camels. Ac Ac. There is a tent in which the j museum is placed, with giants, midgets, dwarfs, skeletons, fat people, armless and legless people, bearded women, long-haired women, Ac,, and others containing the ethnological c ingress of strange savage tribes, such as Burmese, Nubians,Todas peo I pie. Hioux Indians, Nautcli dancing girls, Afghans, Hindoos, Aztecs. Zulus, Ac Ac Another with 3 rings, an elevated stage and the great Homan Hippodrome, with its glori ous races, and so on. It requires 79 railroad cars to move all this material, including two double menageries, with 65 cages of rare birds,beasts and sinewy reptiles,and 33 golden carved chariots. The parade is a grand af fair and will represent #1.500.000 worth of valuable objects and cases over a mile of ground, and will take place on Wednesday July 1st at ^o'clock in the morning. M4RDINER. Saturday, at Bodwell Allen'* ice house, Mr. Walter Cooper, by the sudden slipping of an ice pick ho was using, made a wound some three inches long in the muscles of his leg below the knee. Dr. Strout dressed the wound. Mr. Cooper in this case has a poor man's luck, his accident policy having just expired. Mr. Walter Moore and wife of Lowell. Mass., are in the city visiting at the home of Mr. Moore’s mother, Mrs. John T. Moore. Mr William C. Palmer started yesterday for New York, going by boat to Boston. Sunday afternoon, Gardiner Lodge I. O. O. F to the number of 60, celebrated their eleventh anniversary at the Universalist church, Rev. W S. Vail conducting the ser vices. taking for the subject of his discourse, Christ's words, “All ye are brethren.” The music tor the occasion was furnished bv a quartette, consisting of Mrs. Welch, Mrs. Lander, Mr. Albert L. Robbins, Mr. H. F. Johnson and Mr. J. J. Turner, organist. Mr. Charles G. Avery of Aina came to town Saturday forenoon and hitched his horse in the rear of the public library building. By some means the horse became frightened, broke away and ran through Water street, smashing things in his course, and Anally bringing up on the Kennebec Bridge. A hard looking character with a scar over his right eye, hailing from Portland and giv ing his name as Thus. E. Meyer, was detain ed at the lock-up Friday night, suspected of being connected with the Hotel North rob bery. Saturday morning Mr. Quimby came from Augusta, and after investigation, the fellow was discharged. H 41.1.0 WELL. In the Pottoffice may be seen a section of the line used in sounding the ocean for the first Atlantic telegraph cable between New foundland and Ireland. It is the property of Col. D P. Livermore, who can vouch for its being as represented. There hat been but one death in this city during the month of June; that was an infant that died June 1st. Eugene Hains of Fargo it here visiting hit old home and receiving a hearty welcome from his many friends. The rain of Monday bat done a vast amount of good to gardens, though rather late to help the hay crop much. There will probably be a great exodus of our people to Angusta tomorrow, to tee Barnum’t big show, being his last tour and eclipsing all others. The rivermen would be giad to see rain enough to make a big rise of water as it is feared that not more than half of the logs cut can be driven to their destina tion. Maj. E. Rowell and wife returned home Monday morning from Portland, where they have been spending the past week. The event of today will he the wedding in the new church this morning at nine o’clock. lUt int mt (ha "Tnlai On. UaL During last weak the Maine Central brought into Portland without doubt the largeet number ever carried in thie State in the fame number of dajn. The feet theee great number of puesengore wen car ried without accident is u high compliment to the able management of General Manager Tucker. Everything worked like clock work, nod considering that the Maine Central ie a single track road, the large business done is in itself a high compliment to the manage ment. President Bliss of the Boston ft Albany, when in the State a few days ego, spoke it the highest terms of the Maine Central Rail road and its management. He in particular complimented the systematic management and organization. He said there was the same systematic management and that every thing ran as smoothly as on his own road.tbe Roston ft Albany, and the Pennsylvania Cen tral. This coming from the President of such a floe road as the Boston ft Albany, is a very high compliment for the Maine Central. The President of the Pullman Car Com pany in conversation with a gentleman of this State, said that their very finest cars were ran from Boston to Bar Harbor, and that on no road are they better patronized than on this ronte. few years since the stock of the Maine Central was hawked about the market and sold for a merely nominal sum. The stock in the latest quotations ol the Boston Brokers’ Board was placed at 105|. The road bed and masnery of the road is all in first class condition and the line Is laid with steel rails. All of the rolling stock is of the best, and is constantly being improved. The great farming sections of Eastern Maine are being more and more developed and fur nish business for the Maine Central. The large and constantly increasing summer tour ist travel is also t feeder to the road, and the Maine Central is today on a safe basis, and investors regard its stock as first class securi ty. People ho come into Maine over the Maine Central, are beginning to find out that the Pine Tree State Is not so far down east after all.—Argut. Colby Notes.

Clean tood, pure water .shelter from the midday sun and a run in grass, will keep swine in health in the summer. Keep the boed crops thoroughly clean of weeds, and labor will be saved on fotnre crops, as well as adding to the pro ductiveness of the present one. A light airy barn cellar, with a dry floor that vs ill aflord them a chance for scratching, is about the beat place for young chickens daring bad spells of weather. Like milk for young animals,the grasses furnish a nearly perfect ration for all classes ot herbivorous animals. Nothing can surpas* succulent grass as a milk pro ducing food, whether quantity or fine fla vor is considered. If you don't believe that foreign matter or a tainted atmosphere are capable of •polling the quality of batter, jast weigh oat a pound or two and keep it in a eloee earthen jar, or under an inverted vessel alongside ot a bar of soap or a few onions for several days and then see. Shut in the Chicks at Night.—If allowed to ramble as soon as daylight appears, yoang chicks often get wet and chilled to their damage. That they may be kept under control until the grass is dry, and also to give them the benefit of an early feed, it should be the business ot some one about the place to shot up the mother and her brood each nigiit until the chicks are a month old. If the old hen is kept oonfined and the brood is allowed to roam, some grass or other green food should be thrown down for the hen daily. Tillage.—To kill weeds and grass in cultivated crops is an important, but It is not tbe most important.use of tillage. Tbe prevention of tbe escape of moisture from the soil, in the average dryness of our summer seasons, must be placed a good way ahead ot it.so far as direct results are concerned. How tillage saves the loss of moisture is not bard to comprehend. The surface of the soil, with being ex posed to the free action ot the sun and the air, is tbe point from which moisture or dinarily escapes by evaporation. As it passes away from the surface, more mois ture is drawn up trom below by capillary action, precisely as oil in a lamp is draw up to the flame as fast as the flame con sumes it. Now the more compactly the particles ot earth are held together up to a certain degree, the more perfect is the capillary action of the soil, just as a wick of ordinary firmness draws up the oil bet ter than one ot a loose net work of fibres would. Tillage breaks up the compact ness that ordinarily exists in unbroken soil. It thus reduces the power of capil lary attraction. Moisture that but for the stirring of the soil, would be drawn up and dissipated, remains below for the use of the cultivated plant. The deeper the tillage, the more is the power of cap illary attraction overcome, with correspond ing advantage to growing plants. Til lage, by admitting air into the soil, also hastens the elaboration ot plant food in the soil, and causes the absorption of am monia, which the roots then take up. Orchard and Garden. Trellis the tomatoes. Sow bush peas tor late. Rake the ground after each rain. If apples have set very thickly whip some off. You can’t stir the soil of newly set strawberries too often. Just after the last strawberries are picked, the bed should be thoroughly and deeply dug over and a liberal coat of old manure applied. This will induce strong roots to support next year’s crop. An old shotgun, a flask ot powder, and a fourteen-year-old boy, working together, will soon cure the caterpillars nests in an orchard. Tell him to hold the muzzle close to the nest. If the peach leaves lose life, and curl, suspect borers in the tree at about the sur face of the ground, which may be known by gum oozing out from the tree where they are. Work these out with a knife or wire and apply a good dose of fresh ashes around the base of the tree. Then the leaves will improve in appearance because of the tree doing better. Prune the Berry Bushes—Both blackber ries and raspberries will yield better crops and be less troublesome to work among for a June pruning of the new shoots. The former and red raspberries should have the main upright shoots nipped at four feet high, and the black raspberries at three feet. Then later, as the side branches get spindling, nip oft the tips. If the heights named have been reached I before the pruning is gotton at, then cut them back to these. Such treatment causes the branches to grow so stocky and strong that stakes and trellis can readily be dispensed with. Another Genius Gone. The Postmaster at Lickskillet, Ark., writes as follows: “Don’t send your paper any more to Oscar Hallum, fur lie’s dead. He wuz a mighty good reader, he wuz, and would sometimes read one ot your jokes in such a funny way that folks would laugh ‘Twon’t what wuz in the artikle, but it wuz the way he read it. “He ou g liter been the editor of a paper like your'n. That feller could screw up hi* mouth an' make a dog laugh. He could boi ler jest like a panther, an’ many a man has tuck to his heels when he heard Oscar er yellin’ in the woods. His daily alius wanted him to 1'arn the shoemakin’ trade, but he had too much ability fur any stch foolishness a* that. Ef I had er had his knack I woulder jined a show. He could’nt write like a country clerk, but, what be wrote was tbar. He wa’n’t hemmed in by Webster nor none of your spellin’ book makers. When an idee popped into hit head, and they were ever lasting a poppio’, he jea slammed her down an' let old Webster jug along the best way be could. “I with he bader lived, fur it gTieved the old man powerful when he died. ‘Jist to think,’ said he to me further day at the buryin’, 'that Oscar shoulder destroyed so much viddulta an’ then died It's mighty nigh more than I could ba’r.

If good blood does not whine any more than lie, then little Bogers might have laid claim to whatever grace comes with that strain; for no plaint or lamentation ever escaped the plucky little fellow. He never objurgated the luck He always found some practical, perfect ly matter-of-course reason for the failure of his ventures, and he no sooner bowed to defeat in one instance than he rallied to renewed effort in some other direction. Swayed bv his natural bias, Rogers had elected at first to tread the unstable paths of journalism. But his critical turn was too imperative, his taste too exacting. “Bogers’s work is too finished,” his su perior in office declared; ho edits copy oat of all its original semblance. Too stilted—too care lolly turned.” He went with the Independent American Topo graphical and Atmospherical Survey, which, it may be rememberer, penetrated to the interior of the provincial posses sions of a certain foreign Power lying on our borders. All the world remembers how that expedition was “headed off” by arbitration of the jealous home Govern ment. Neat a consulship’ was gotten for Rogers, by friends who admired hts gal lant pertinacity. But his Quixotic course in regard to a family of American adven turers. stranded at his port, very nearly involved us in a war, and Rogers was re called. Then he tried the stage; but his determined predilection for tragedy was at loggerheads with his comical, homely face and grotesque unstanding hair; so one more avenue narrowed to the vanish ing-point. It was when his resources were at their lowest ebb that he conceived the idea of going as rod man with a surveying party under contract for Mexico. No less exi gent situation would have let him consent to go away from borne and Caroline How ard, but the lowest depths of his depleted scalp yearned for the reported abounding shekels of the Montezuman land and so, after many a mutual pledge with the lady of his heart, poor little Rogers tore him selfawav. The young man was not de void of a certain self consciousness, and he rather plumed himself upon freedom from false pride and singleness of purpose, as exemplified in his acceptance of his not exalted position. “I remember,” he said to Strain, the chief of his party, looking through the arch of the Pierced Rock, as their steam er lay off Cape San Lucas; “I remember once when Richardson and I were down in Tulare county, we ran across two of our old schoolmates, who were 'toting' chains for the survey on Page and Miller's ranch. They were the valedictorians of their years too. Do you know, I never admired those young fellows half so much as when they leaned there on our wheels, in overalls and sunburned straw bats, snatching a ‘how goes it?’ while they waited the word from their boss. And now you’re my boss, old fellow, you may as well respect my independence.” “Oh, that’s all right,” said Strain, a lit tle disdainiully; ‘“a man’s a man for a’ that.’ The question is, how will Queen Caroline take it Of course you told her your line.” “The fact is—no,” said Rogers, rueful ly for strain was a more or less distant relative of Caroline Howard, and the tone was significant. “I told her I should join your party, but without specifying my office. Oh, Caroline’s a girl of gold. She’s superior to such small prejudices.”! “Humph,” quoth Strain, her cousin. Of all Roger's unpracticable projects, this lost one was the worst. While they were getting their hearings at San Cuales, all went well enough. But from the day they took the field, Roger’s mishaps be ean. He was the willingest soul that ever lifted hand; but a frail physique was against him, and labor that may be en dured very tolerably under a northern sky becomes quite preposteriously out of the question in tropic latitudes', where the labor is handicapped, too, bv all the spiny, briary appendages that Mother Earth’s face there is decorated withal. Alas, the mortifications of the spirit were bttter. To a race giving servants to its servants, the performance of offices like Roger’s is explicable only by the assumption of in ferior caste; and so, notwithstanding the unfailing consideration of his comrades, Rogers found himself relagated too often to a menial status. It was not strange that he soon began to fall in health; the won der was that he endured so long. The party worked their way across the Hacien da del Carrizal and the valley of Rio Ruidoso, and camped in the sandy bed of a ditch, under the sycamores and cotton woods, at Santa Catarina. And the very night they came, Rogers, lying down ex hausted for a nap before supper, awoke raving with delirium, wherein a vein of pathos ran through the absurdities. “Poor devil!” saidoneof the engineers, coming from an inspection of the patient, “he must have had pretty hard lines. His very soul seems to I*b ebbing out through a hole that some girl pointed out in his boot. Lo0'leh^ klllllVIlall I 1 8 FOR INTERNAL Ala/J EXTERNAX. TXSE.
