The failure of the first cable, the general amuse ment caused by the straggling dispatches, the incredulity of the American public in ocean telegraphy in 1858, are fresh in my memory.

Mary Warburton, an extremely prettv young girl from Fall River, Mass., aged ab"Ut 23 years, expensively dressed and with an air of respectability and good breeding, attempted to blow her brains out in the ladies' wailing room of the Broad street station of the Pennsylvania railroad, last evening. On being taken to the Philadelphia Hospital it was found that the shot struck just above the left temple aud had run up under the scalp so that with careful nursing she will soon he out of danger. The girl refused to give any rea son for the act. hut an investigation during the evening disclosed the fact that she has been leading a wild life here, although mask ing her actions under the veil of respecta bility. There will probably be strenuous effort* made to hush the matter up and it is almost certain that the girl cannot be made to make any disclosures. She is said to have left her home on account of her mother hav ing married for the second time. DON’T W ANT HIM. The Austrian Government Positively Reject Keiley. Washington, Aug 6. The department of State is in receipt of a cablegram from Mr. Lee, secretary of the American Legation at Vienna, saying that the Austria government has positively de clined to receive Mr Keiley as United States Minisiter.

Quinton, Portland's new catcher showed np in fine form. The Portlands played a strong fielding game. McOarr made some fine plays on second base and Hawkes at short.

The Puritan Loses the Rare at the Mo* merit of Victory by nu Accident. Cottage Cut, Mass Aug. A stiff northeaster was blowing when the yachts left New Bedford this morning Tliis gave them a free run to Quick’s Hole and a dead beat from there to the finish. The Puritan was the first to cross the start ing line and was closely followed by the Clvtie and the Priscilla. The Puritan at once flew to a good lead with the Priscilla j next behind. At three miles out the Puritan led by half a mile and had increased the lead to three-quarters of a mile by the time Quick’s Hole was reached. Entering Vine yard Sontul the Puritan began to cut out work in a beat to the windward and appar ently had the race well in hand hs this is one of her favorite courses. An accident, how ever,destroyed her reasonably certain chances for victory. Without a moment’s notice the main-sail came to the deck on the run. I'lie holts securing the block through which runs the throat halyard had parted and the Puritan was floating helplessly in the trough of the sea. It was nearly 10 minutes before the damage could be remedied and the sail reset, somewhat imperfect. Meanwnile the Priscilla had overtaken her rival ami when the Puritan once more started on the journey the two boats were stern and stern. It was a close fight thence to the finish, but the Puritan rounded Polynia and anchored off the highlands some distance ahead, though losing the race by reason of the advantage at start. But for the accident she would have an undisputed claim to being tha winner. Old America did splendidly and defeated all in her class except Dreadnaught. She led the schooners of the fleet. The fleet re turns to Newport tomorrow morning. The Genetta will proceed to Boston. THIS TURF. A Trotting Match at Kenosha Park. Haverhill, Aug. 6.

Grant’s sepulture The mayor had asked the corporatio counsel, whether if he (the mayor) approved the res olution it would be legally. The corporation counsel holds that the land reterred to in the resolution is not abso lutely free, but free in trust for certain pur poses. The land thus acquired cannot be given away by the city, nor if it were held in fee simple abosolute could it be so conveyed by the comtuou council The sinking fund commissioners only could convey it, but pro visions slate they must sell by public auction He says he is of the opinion that if the reso lution was signed by the mayor it would be legally, inoperative to effect the cession of the ground proposed. The park commission ers had power to grant the right of the sep ulture. At 2 o’clock the procession of people to City Hall to look at the corpse of the dead General extended across the park and along the sidewa k to Chambers street and along Chambers street to Broadway. The medallion bust of Gen. Grant, prepared by the artist Albert K. Wolff, was one of the notable sur roundings of the casket. A cmmittee has been appoint* d bv ex-con federate soldiers to represent the southern soldiers at the obsequies. Among those on the committee are Gens. Loring, Lilley. Dockry and Clingman Gen. ,1. B Gordon of Georgia, has been appointed aide to Gen. Hancock for the cere monies at the burial. 1 he American Institute Association met this evening and pissed resolutions on the death of Gen.

VICK I’KKNIIIKNT IIKNI’RICHN Interviewed by a Representative of the Presa. Chicago, Aug. 8. Vira President Hendricks accompanied by Mrs. Hendricks arrived here this afternoon. In an interview with a representative of the the press Mr. Hendricks was asked, "Do you think civil service reform, so called, has b come firmly enough engrailed upon our poli tics to be called an esiahliahed fact?" Hen dricks hesitated momentarily and then re plied with some emphisis, "I do not. Noth ing can he called an established fact about which there is still argument, discussion and division of opinion. It has been imimated, Mr. Hendricks, ir. various newspapers, that there is not that cordiality and sameness ot purpose between President Cleveland and yourself that would naturally be expected to characterize the first democratic administra tion in 25 years." "Well, as to that it is the invention of disaffected representatives ot factions on one hand and suspicions. con juctures and oftentimes lihela of partisan organs of the opposition. People who can intelligently judge of the difference of our positions will place no credence in such statements Our relations when we meet are decidelv cordial. I have not seen the Pres ident now in four months, but I have no doubt that when I domett him it will be upon terms of the most cordial democratic fellow ship.” Meeting ot the Kxerutire Committee ol the National I .mid League.

I., young lady has caught a real, live Italian prince,to whom she will soon be married, ami her native town shares in the glory. Walking matches on artificial feet are the latest diversion. The best mile record for such a walk was made in Atlanta, in 1881,— 9 12 minutes. This was beaten at Ithaca. N. V., a day or two ago, by one Cleary, who made a mile in 1 minutes, 30 seconds. Fuel is cheap in the Puget Sound region —sugar is dear.anil the climate is adapted to the growth ot the sugar beet. Under these promising conditions, a company ha» been formed to stact sugar works in that region, and have contracted with farmers tor 2o.iMMi tons of beets annually, tor five years, at $1.50 per ton. In favr rable seasons California counts its honey crop by the thousand tons, and bee-keepers find a good profit when ex tracted honey commands no more than four or five cents per pound, and comb honey seven or eight cents. This year, however, the honey yield will be light— flowers are few anil nectar scant. The South Boston Iron Works, which has been awaiting the arrival of iron for casting the last big gun to complete the order of the United States government, has now the necessary supply and has commenced work. The gun will bn a 12 inch calibre breech-loading rifle. It will probably be cast in a month or six weeks. Major Gillespie in a report on the im provement of the entrance to New York harbor recommends an abandonment of all effort to clear the channel by dredging and tlie adoption of the plan pi narrowing it bv the construction of a jetty from Coney Island winch will force the current to wash it out. lie estimates the cost at $15,000,1)00. and thinks that $2,500,000 could be advantageously expended during the next year. There is no backing down apparent on the part of England's new Conservative Government in regard to Zultikar i’ass. The Marquis of Salisbury has re-atlirmed his statement that the I’ass must belong to the Ameer, and he adds that the British will not “relax or alter this policy.” These are strong words; and if Russia should reply with equal firmness they are words that may lead to blows. The “Big Woods” of Minnesota well deserve the name, for they cover 5000 square miles. 3,200.000 acres of surface. These woods contain only hard wood growths, including white and black oak. maple, hickory, bass wood, elm, cotton wood. tamarack, and enough other varie ties to make an aggregate of over fifty different kinds. The hard-wood tract ex tends in a belt across the middle of the State, and surrounding the northeastern corner is an immense pine region cover ing 21,000 square miles, or 13,440,000 acres. Governor Pierce of Dakota has settled up an old account dating hack to wartimes by paying to Warner W. Bateman of Cincinnati $100. which Bateman accepts in full satisfaction of a judgment rendered against Pierce at Paducah in 1864. for the value of a mulatto hoy and girl he had withheld from the owner and employed when he was quartermaster at that place. The costs and judgments now amount to over $iit8S). The ease has been defended for Pierce by the government attorney, but the judgment was kept alive with fre quent efforts to collect, and Pierce pays the nominal sum to save further annoy ance. The Mormon policy of colonization is now to be exhibited in Alabama. An agent ot the church proposes to settle 300 fresh European converts upon land in Jackson and De Kalb Counties, and he has gone to Alabama with the purchase money in his pocket. This is the first attempt, so far as we know,” says the New York Times, to plant polygamists in the Southern States. Manv converts have been made then*, but as a rule they have been sent westward by the mission aries. The history of costly contests with colouized Mormons in Idaho and Arizona should load Alabama to speedily take ac tion with reference to these undesirable immigrants." The large number of letters already re ceived by the Clearing House committee indicate that there is a very general wil lingness on the part of the banks through out the country to take subsidiary coin and distribute it. Many of the banks would prefer one and two dollar bills, but as they cannot get those they say that they had rather have subsidiary coin than stan dard dollars. Reports from various parts of the country agree that the people do not like to handle the silver dollar. They had rather have the fractional silver than the standard dollars, although the dollars are worth a good deal more intrinsically. Two silver halves contain together 385 grains ot silver. A standard silver dol lar contains 412 1-2 grains. Assistant Treasurer Acton has sent about $72,000 of special silver certificates, lor subsidiary coin, to the sub-treasuries at Philadelphia, j Boston, Baltimore, New Orleans, and j Chicago, to meet demands for fractional silver at those places. Cattle-Men Must Go. j The President Refuses to Modify His Order of Removal from Indian Terri tory. Washington, Aug. 4 —President Cleve land to day informed a delegation represent ing the cattlemen that he would not modify hi* recent order for the removal of cattlemen from the leaded lands in the Cheyenne and Arapahoe reservations of the Indian Territo ry within forty days ftom the date ot his proclamation. The delegation was headed by Senator Cockrell and Congressman John \i. Glover of Missouri. Ex-Congressman Pollard pre*ented a long memorial stating the case of the cattle men, in which they ar gued that, as the property involved aggrega ted over $7,000,000 and the cattle numbered 250,000, these vast interests merited the ex tension of the period; that it was impossible for them to move the stock within forty days, and that the execution of the order would cause many of the cattle to perish. The President in reply alluded to the fact that Gen. Sheridan had said that the cause of irritation in the territory is the presence of the cattle-men, who were occupying the In-1 dian land*, and that this state of things could 1 not continue. He added: “Two interests are in conflict. Which shall give way? On the one side we have public peace, public se curity and the safety of lives. On the other side are your interests. The former, gentle- j men, must be considered, though private in terests suffer The question af putting off' this removal until next spring is inadmissable. The order j cannot be modified. I want to see some dili-1 genee in complying with the order. No argu ment will induce me to change what has been done.

The Afghan Frontier. The Marquih of Salisbury on the Situa tion. London, Aug. 4.— The Marquis of Salis- i burv, replying to the Duke of Marlborough j in the House of Lords this afternoon, said j that the presennt government had done noth-1 ing to disturb the agreement made with Hus-1 sia by Karl Granville in respect to Zulfikar i Pass The Marquis of Salisbury contended that the Zulfikar Pass had been promised to Afghanistan. Karl Dutterin, Viceroy of India, had promised the Ameer that he should have the pass, and the present government held itself bound bv that promise. “Russia does not appear to share our views concerning this matter,” continued the Pre mier “In the meantime Maruchak remains in possession of th*» Afghans and Penjdeh contimn s in possession of Russia, and we are 1 pursuing as rapidlv and vigorously as pos*i hie a pohey to strengthen the Indian frontier No alteration in the diplomatic situation can induce the government in the slightest de gree to relax or alter this policy, which will not depend upon transitory relations with this or that other power, hut which is ahso- Intelv necessary for the security of India. The government have no pr sent intention to i occupy strategic positions in the Ameer’s do-1 minions. What mav happen, however, we are unable to say. We are also unable at 1 present, to place before you the papers re- i inring to this question, because their publi-1 cation just now might compromise the pend- ing negotiations I mav add that the delay in i the adjustment of the Penjdeh afiair is due to j Russia’s desire to obtain the best possible information respecting the matters in dis pute.” iConcerning the proposed British encamp ment in the Pishin Valley, the Prem er said that territory belonged to England, and there had been no modification made in that claim. j Personal.

Diphtheria is a contagion* and infectious j disease attacking persons of all ages, but affecting children much more frequently than it does adults. It may be communicated j from the sick to the well by means of spoons, j cups, or other articles which pass from mouth j to mouth, or through rhe medium of the air. I or it may be spread by means of infected clothing So generally is diphtheria regarded as due to unsanitary conditions, that by common consem it is classed among the “filth dis eases; and when we find it arising, appar-1 entlv independently of sources of infection, j spontaneously, as it would seem, we mav be pretty sure th.**t something is wrong in the health conditions of the home where it is found. The unsanitary conditions which seem to give rise to diphtheria may be in the direction of the food or water supply the well mav 6* too near the privy or Cess-pool. or sink drain, or barnyard, and be polluted by soak age through the filthy soil ;or the something wrong may be in the direction of the air supply the sleeping rooms and living room* are perhaps not ventilated and the air is rebreathed and repoisoned, or a wet and foul cellar is under the house, or sewer gas goes into the rooms from defective water-closets or other fixtures, or from sir k drains, or privies, or cess-pools. When once diphtheria has arisen, the law of simple contagion carries it to the rich and the poor, to the cleanly and the uncleanly, but not to all alike. Filth invites disease and gives its germ* the most congenial soil in which to deveiope into pestilence but cleanliness offers only barren ground for their development Diphtheria is a preventable disease. Prop er preventive measures are almost invariably followed by the limitation of the disease to ihe first case or cases When diphtheria gets awav from the primary cases and makes its escape upon the community, somebody is to blame. The sooner we accept this as a sani- tary maxim, the sooner we shall begin to do our duty as individuals and as eommnnities. Prevention. Keep away from the sources of contagion. I not go where the disease is if you can help it; above all, do not let your children g«» where it is. Permit no one to come to your home who lias been where it is. From the dwelling and its vicinity banish all sources of filth, whether of the ground, of the water, or of the air. The ground under and around the house, if not naturallv dry, should he thoroughly and deeply drained. Diphtheria does not come from far through the air, therefore do not shut up your house tightly, thinking thereby to shut out the dU-1 eas«> Iiv doing you -hut in the poison of rebreathed air, which paves the way and makes it easy for the poison of diphtheria to claim your children. Let the sunshine in by 1 dav and the pure air both bv day and night. When diphtheria is prevalent, avoid all crowded gatherings; especially keep children from such places. What is apparently onlv a common sore throat in adults will sometimes give rise to an outbreak of diphtheria in children; there fore, in all casea of sore throat, prudence would dictate caution in using dishes which others are to use. A kiss to a child under these circumstances may he the unconscious signature of the little one’s death warrant. When diphtheria is rife, keen from the children gum, jewaharps, harmonicas and other things which go from mouth to mouth. Be sure that the drinking water and the milk are pure. Restriction. As soon as it is found that a person has diphtheria he should immediately be sep arated ft*.m the rest of the fatnilv anil put info a suivy and well-ventilated room, pre ferable on i he ope r tl *r, and as discon nect* d a-* possible f• in other rooms, especi ally the living and sleeping rooms of chil dren. Before moving the patient into the room, all needless articles, such as carpets,contents of wardrobes, etc which would catch the infection, should he removed. No other person betide the nurse or nec essary attendants and the physician should he permitted in the room, ami tliev should take special precautions not to carry the in fection. Their communication with the r* st of tlie family should he as restricted as possi ble. The local hoard of health, or health officer, should immediately be notified and should co operate with the phvaician to keep the disease from spreading. Children and parents from other Ionises should be warned; and, if they needlessly and obstinately persist in coming, thev should be driven aw ay Neither the nurse nor any other person should eat *»r drink anything in the sick room or anything which has been there Food which the patient has U ft should he burned. Cats and dogs should he kept from the sick chamber, or better, out of the house, for their fur ran easily carry the infection These animals, as well as some others, sometimes have diphtheria, and communicate it to chil dren I he dishes which the patient uses should not he used hv others, or washed with other dishes. They should be washed by themselves in boiling-hot water. The utmost csre must he taken that the discharges from the m >uth, throat and nose do not soil the room or its furnishings. These discharges should he received on pieces of cloth and then burned. If this cannot be done they should he thoroughly disintected with disinfectant No. 5, No. fi, or No. 2 The discharges from the kidneys and bow els should be liberally treated with Disinfec tant No. 5. No. or No. 2. and not poured into the privy-vault, but buried, if possible, 200 f*et or more from dwelling houses and water supply. The bed and body clothing should not be mixed with the family wash, but should he put into boiling-hot Disinfectant solution No 4, or No. 5. No person from a house where there is diphtheria should go into public assemblies, such a« schools, churches, or concerts. Persons who have hsd diphtheria should not mingle with the public for s one time after the last trase of the disease has left the throat and nose, and then not until they and all their clothing have been thoroughly wa-hed and disinfected. Incase ot death the h >dv should be enclosed in a sheet thoroughly wet i Disinfectant No. 4 or No. 5. and pot into a tight coffin, which should not afterword be opened The funeral should be strickly private, and in no case should children he permitted to he present. After recovers- or death,disintect th? room with Disinfectant No. 1 Some ot these directions may «eem ex treme. hut they are necessary, every one of them. It is some trouble to carry them out carefully, but that is nothing compared with the possible r* suits to you. if vou neglect them and. in thinking of the rights of others, i remember the Golden Kule. The ingrediants and combinations of the various disinfectant* have been published in a previous number of the Journal, and can also be had bv application to the State Board of Health. Considerable amusement was created at the railroad station yesterday afternoon by the peformance of an inebriate He had a bag of peanuts, and. thinking that a geDtleman waiting for the train looked hungry, offered I to treat him.

Marshal Andrews, of Portland, received notice Wednesday, from Chief Bowman of Brookline. Mass., that an unknown man had died suddenly in the police station there. The only clue to identifying the man. was a slip of paper upon him. with “Z. K Harmon. Portlacd. Me written on it.

Tne lady gave up the bag. but declared she bought it in Portland. Mrs. Vaughan wrote Mrs. A. M. Sawyer the cir ■nr tances of the case. 1 h»-house of Mrs. Everett S Throop. Portland, was entered Thursday night and a quantity of valuable silver ware was taken. I'he silver had been packed in a basket the first of the evening and left on a table near the window in the dining room. At about ten o'clock Mrs Throop went to get the sil ver and found it missing. The window had heen forced up. An officer was telephoned for and the basket with one or two pieces of the silver in it was found in the yard. The remainder has not been recovered A few nights ago a bdy named Nichols, whose father is a promin.*nt soldier in the rauks of the Salvation Army at Portland, evidently went to sleep in meeting, for he awoke at about two o'clock in the morning to find himself locked up in the barracks. A good natured passer by was hailed by the im prisoned cadet and the boy was taken out of the building. The meetings in Portland evidently differ from chose in Augusta. The methods employed in hiding liquor kept for unlawful purposes are numerous and ingenious, but the hei.ht of the art has been reached by a rum seller in Portland, whose hiding place was discovered Monday by Officers Steele and McGrath. The officers were looking around to see what they could find, and McGrath stpped behind the counter in the hack room which served as the bar proper. Here, placed in such a way as not to be easily seen, was a wire which was used to draw out the nozzle of about five yards of hose, which led down through the floor and underneath to the hiding place of the liquor. Cutting a hole in the floor, the officers could see that the hose led to a large object under the floor and di rectly beneath the large stove which stood in the centre of the room. The stove whs moved and the officers pried up a trap door which was completely concealed by the stove. Beneath the door was a large b >x, half filled with stagnant water. In the water rested a barn 1 of beer to which the hose was attached. Hancock.

Five thousand dollars were offered as a reward for the recovery of the girl or the conviction of any one connected with her, abduction. The reward was finally raised to §10,000, where it stiil remains. The papers were full of these details at :bat time. The detectives visited the premises, ransacked the house, questioned the house hold. secured descriptions and pictures, and finally gave this yerv natural theory of the mystery: The girl was a found ling; her father or mother had watched her with a jealous eye and determined to possess the accomplished daughter—per-; haps only for the reward that they knew would be offered. Perhaps the parent had seen her and told her all, and this evening had been arranged for the elopement. She had stubbornly refused to accompany Mr. and Mrs. Dawson to the ojrera. Yet. if there had been collusion, why should the door be locked on the inside and the gas burning. It would, of course, have been an easy matter to descend by a ladder placed up to the window; but why should this precaution be taken Whatever may have been done bv the detectives, the case remains as much a mystery to night as it ever was.” This is all very strange.” I said, “but vou have not told me why Mr. Dawson does not reside here.
