Accident to a Revenue Cutter.?The revenue cutter Samuel Dexter sailed from Newport Tuesday morning on a cruise westward. but had goue no further than Point Judith when her grates gave out and she returned to Newport. Three Chbers for the Plumed Knight Lost Him His Place.?Among halfa dozen dismissals made from the sixth auditor's office within the past three or four days for various reasons was that of a clerk who has been several times promoted under the civil service rules. No cause for ids removal was announced and he made a very vigorous protest, until he found that the cause of nis removal was that when the false report came in that Blaine had been elected, he was among a lot of clerks who lett their desks and rushed into the corridor to give "three cheers for the plumed knight." The Governorship of Dakota.?James McNamara, of Freeport, 111., who is indorsed by Hon. S. S. Cox and others, is an applicant for the governorship of Dakota. Admilal Jouett a Mediator.?The following dispatch from Admiral Jouett, relative to the trouble between the Colombian states, has been received at the Navy department: "The Cresident of Colombia empowers me to mediate etween contendiugparties. The Barranquilla government grants the Insurgents reasonable terms. A successful mediation is probable, which will end the revolution. I shall make an earnest attempt to settle the trouble." To Catch a Devil Fish.?The flsh commission steamer Albatross, Commander Z. L. Tanner, sailed from the Norfolk navy yard yesterday afternoon to commence her summer's work, and her first cruise, seventy miles east of the Virginia capes, in search of tile fish. From there she will sail for th Grand Banks, where an ellort will be made to capture a complete specimen of the mammoth octopus. Among the President's Callers To-day were Attorney General Garland, Minister Lawton, Senators Voorhees, Vance, Colquitt, Call and Harris, Commissioner Miller, Representatives Eden, Dougherty, Lowry and Jas.

Walker, New York; Gen. Wilcox, Michael L. Woods, New York, and P. S. Wilson, Colorado. The Democratic Members of Congress from Illinois, held a conference yesterday in this city at the suggestion of one of the delegation to talk over the distribution of patronage. After [v pretty free discussion it was agreed that it was better policy not to undertake to diviue up offices amoug the districts or to arrange a slate of names for appointment as federal officials in the state. So the conference adjourned without taking any action, leaving each member to manage appointments for his district as he may think best. Mr. Bnjrard'* St. Louis Reropftton. A special to the New York World from St. Louis says: Extensive preparations have been made for the entertainment of Secretary Bayard here to-morrow. An escort, composed of politicians and business men, will meet the distinguished visitor at the other end of the bridge, where he will leave the train to be driven across the river in a carriage to the Southern hotel. Shortly after noon the Secretary will visit the Merchants' exchange, where a public reception will be held. He will dine at 3 at the St. Louis Club, then a visit to the parks and Shaw's garden will be made. Mr. Bayard and party will leave in the evening for Columbia, Mo., where he will deliver au address to the State University and Missouri Press Association on Wednesday. From Columbia he will jo to Lawrence, Kun., and deliver the annual address before the University of that state, returning thence direct to Washington.

Civil Service Reform Problems. secretary lamar's late appointment?the exclusion of dakota, etc. The question arising from Secretary Lamar's appointing, without a civil service examination, a chief of division in his department whose salary brought him to the rank of a fourth class clerk, has not yet been settled. The question is whether the exception of heads of divisions from the operation ol the civil service rules applies lo heads of divisions, appropriated for as such, or to all who are so termed in the blue book. In the case under discussion there is no such division piovlded lor in the appropriation bill as that of which the clerk was chief, but the blue book shows the existence of such a division, with a chief and some thirty or forty clerks cinder him. There are about eleven of these cases in the Interior department, hut no more than three or four or them in the other departments. The President will probably decide that all "chiefs of divisions" so recorded in the blue book are excepted from the operation of the civil service rules, but such a decision will not affect the fourth class clerks. It Is said at the civil service commissioners' office that there Is no controversy between the commissioners and Secretary Lamar concerning the refusal of the commission to ussign a certain Territory to fill a vacancy under the service. The facts in the case are simply this, that Secretary Lamur, in sending in an application for live clerks, suggested that one come from Dakota; but the commission could not comply with his desire, us.the Territory had its juota, and would not be entitled to an appoints ment for some time. When this was explained the matter was dropped. As to Ailing vacancies by men from the same state from which the former occupant of the place was appointed, the commissioners say ft cannot tc done, though such a thing might happen without design.

The Troops Capture the Sqnnws. A dispatch from Bowie, A. T., says that the troops following the renegade Indians' trail with scouts from Apache, on the headwaters of the Gila river, are reported as having captured the main portion of the band, including the squaws, and are now en route for Apache with their prisoners. It is supposed that only about dtty. all told, got away to Mexico. A small band are supposed to be In the mountains north of here, but their number is not known. The campaign Is virtually ended on this side ol the line.

By an incendiary fire In a Hungarian village recently 1,000 persons were left homeless. The culprit being discovered was roasted to death over a bonfire. Changes in the Third Auditor** Office. the bearing of the civil service rules in'the case of mr.' fowler and others. Third Auditor Williams has taken hold of his office with a vigorous hand, and is trying to organize it in such a way as to enable him to dispose of the work, which, he says, he found almost hopelessly behind. Several changeshave been made. Tbe deputy third auditor, Mr. A. M. Gangowcr, has tendered his resignation, to take effect on tbe 3uth of June. Charles E. Lewis, a third-class clerk in the pension division, has been dismissed, and Jos. B. Fowler, the chief of pensions division who was dismissed on Saturday, has been reinstated and appointed in Lewis' place. Mr. John 1?. Hussey. of North Carolina, has been made chief of division. Tiie reduction ol Fowler to the third-class clerkship, from a position of chief which was excepted from the civil service rules, was made according to those rules, which provide that if a man was appointed to an excepted positionthat is, a position not protected by the law? before the law was passed, he may be reduced to the classified rant; but that if he was appointed since the passage of the law he cannot. be so reduced. Commissioner Gregory informed a Star reporter to-day that there had been several such cases, two or three in the Treasury, one in the Post Office and some In other departments, probably, and the reduction had been uniformly allowed when the official had held his office before the law went into ellect. 1 n one case, he said, a man who was chief traded places with a third class clerk. Hut this does not upen up a way for avoiding the civil service examination, as any man now appointed to be chief of division will be debarred from the classified service except through the regular course. The law Is very clear on the subject, and no attempt is being made to evade it. The history of Fowler's reduction and Lewis' dismissal is interesting. During Folger's time W. H. Whitney, who was chief of the pension division, was not liked very well by Third Auditor Keight ley, who had him dismissed and Lewis, the third class clerk, who lias Just been dismissed, put in his place. The new arrangement did not work, however, to Keightley's satisfaction, and about a year ago lie went to the Secretary and reported that for many reasons it would be n good thing if Lewis could be put back in ills old third class place and Mr. Fowler made chief. This was done and the work went on to Mr. Keightley's satisfaction. John 15. Hussey. the newly-appointed chief of division, is a lawyer and a newspaper man. He lias been for twelve years connected with the Greensboro' (X. C.) Patriot, the oldest democritic paper in the state, of which he is the editor and proprietor. He was librarian of the House some years ago, and during the last Congress was clerk to the committee on printiug. W. JI. Welch, of Baltimore, was to-day appointed deputy third auditor of the Treasury, vice A. M. Gaugewer, resigned. Mr. Welch Is a native of York county, Pa., where* he was born in 1826. He practiced law in that state; was elected to the state senate, and was president of that body in 1850. He was also the proprietor of the Philadelphia Aye. He went to Baltimore in 1872; was the proprietor of the Baltimore Gazette, and in 18S0 a democratic collector of customs for Maryland. He was attache of legation at London when Buchanan was minister. He was recommended for tlie appointment by the whole Maryland delegation, hut owes his success chiefly to the ettbrts in his behalf made by Congressmen Findlay and Sam. J. ltandall. The New School Superintendent. mr. paul appointed for two years from july 1st next. The Commissioners yesterday made the fol. lowing order "That the temporary appointment of Edward A. Paul as a superintendent of public schools shall cease and determine on the 30th day of June instant, and he is hereby appointed a superintendent of public schools for the full term of two years, beginning with the 1st day of Jul}*, 1885." A Star reporter asked the Commissioners today why the term of office was lixed for two years, and suggested that Mr. Wilson had never been reappointed during all the time he had been acting as superintendent. They stated in reply that Gov.Cooke had first appointed Mr. Wilson August 23, 1871. and that Gov. Shepherd had reappointed him lie- j ceinber 1, 1873, after which time he held over until his resignation. He was appointed by Gov. Cooke in compliance with an act of the legislative assembly, approved August21,lS71. They also state that the law fixes the term for two years. Mr. Edmonds says that the place would have been filled long ago, but the Commissioners have been looking about to find a man the best suited for the place. In most other cities they pay a much higher salary for superintendent than here, and they can find no better man than Mr. Paul lor the position as superintendent for the amount of salary which this District pays, and they have therefore set tied upon j him. Hereafter the term of two years will be recognized, as the law intended. Mr. Paul is a graduate of Dartmouth college. Secretary Tindall slates that Mr. Wilson was first appointed by Mayor Emery as school superintendent. The National 1'niveraity Law School. a large class of young barristers who will get their sheepskins friday evening.

A Brilliant Wedding; in Richmond. the only daughter of "stonewall" jackson married. The wedding of Miss Julia Jackson, only daughter of Gen. "Stonewall" Jackson, to Mr. Wm. E. Christian, a merchant of Richmond, Va., in that city last evening was a brilliant affair. The ceremony was performed in the Second Presbyterian church by the Rev. Dr. Hoge, assisted by Rev. W. H. Christian, father of the groom. The bride wore white satin, trimmed with point lace,and diamond and pearl ornaments, the gift of the groom. Among those present were Dr. Yelverton Garnett, of Washington, and John Randolph Tucker, Jr. A reception followed. Many congratulatory telegrams and letters were received from prominent ex-confederate soldiers. The presents were numerous. Among the notable Ones was a superb solid sliver card basket lined with gold from the Louisiana division of the Army of Northern Virginia. This has on tbe rim three designs?two medallions, one of Jackson and one of Lee; the third is the seulof the Army of Northern Virginia bearing the legend: "From Manassas to Appomattox. Deo vittdice." Perhaps the most costly present was that sent by Mr. W. W. Corcoran, of Washington, a solid gold set ol fruit spoons. Gen. Joseph E. Johnston, Gen. Custls Lee and Gen. Jubal A. Early also sent presents. The Homeopathists.?A report submitted to the 38th annual meeting of the American Institute of Homeopathy, at St. Louis, on Tuesday, shows that there are In the United States 29 state societies, 4 interstate, 102 local, 21 clubs and G miscellaneous societies; 25 hospitals, 30 special hospitals, 50 dispensaries, 13 colleges, 2 special schools, 1,083 students and 19 Journals. The progress of homeopathy in different parts ol the country was reported upon by delegates, and a very favorable showing was made. About 150 delegates were present, and twenty-live new members were admitted. Indignation Against Dynamiters in Denver.?Yesterday morning the barn of Mr. C. R. Davis, a few feet from Tils residence, on 8th street, in Denver, Col.,was blown up with either giant powder or dynamite. A few months ago the employes of Mr. Davis' flour mill asked lor an Increase in their wages, which was refused, and the men struck and new men were employed to fill their places. Since then the strikers have boycotted Davis and have made numerous threats. Several other attempts to blow up property in Denver have been discovered recently. If the outrages continue the Indignation of the citizens will possibly materialize Into a vigilance committee. A bill has been introduced In the Spanish chamber to talse a 925,000,000 loan lor the benefit of tbe Cuban treasury. PROTECTION OF THE WATER StPPLY. Position of the annl Officials. they alte tilux6 t let capt. syxons do the necessary work, but wast to cl'ard canal interests. The officials of the canal company nave deferred giving a posltlv? answer to Capt, Symons, representing the government, iu relation to the change of t lie waste weir at Great Falls and the clo>ing of the tumbling dams or overflows there until they can consult with the attorney of the canal company. As stated in yesterday's Star, the canal officials are willing to assent to the proposed changes, but they want to be protected fully against any possible iu)ury to the canal property.

In the midst of j the blinding wind and rain he had closed the bridge, through which a vessel had passed, and stepped Into his shantv. A street car bound north dashed upoii the bridge, and as It neared the center of the structure I Carmody glanced out of the window and was j horrified to see the bridge slowly swinging open. The driver h?d his head ducked down to wants off the force ol the storm, and was apparently unaware of the fearful consequences of ivis lie- gleet and the danger ahead, Carmody took in the situation at a glance, dashed out of the bridge-house and run at the top of his speed across the bridge toward the car.* Reaching the I advancing team he grabbed the horses hv the bits and sang out to the driver to put on the brake. The ear was stop|x?d about ten icet from the end of the rails and over the muddy i waters of the river. The driver, in his haste to get across, allowed the team to travel at a rapid gait, and a horrible catastrophe and ioss of life was only prevented by Carmody's nerve and presence of mind.

An un- 1 known woman was knocked down while pass- iug along a street in tliv-llinnian street district 1 and stunned. She was carried oil in a wagon, i but was not seriously hurt. From investigations made by the life saving service It is thought that the rumor of a lo?* of life on the lake, off this port, in the storm last night is uniounded.

In order to know for myself the condition of affairs I Lave made tome microscopical ex- i ami nations of the Potomac water, and the 1 1 lowing are the resuit-.: On Wednesday.

At the end of that time the linen was i removed, and was found to be deeply stained a dirty yellowish brown color by a closely ad- hering sediment. The sediment was removed I and a portion placed under the microscope. When one considered that this was the material so largely taken into our stomachs 1 daily, the sight was much more scientifically jj interesting than agreeable to think of. I send 1 a drawing of some of the organisms found, i which gives a fair Idea of their form, but does nut give any idea of the vast multitude of these i organic forms existing In our Potomac wator. 5 No 1 existed quite abundantly, and was ap- i parently composed of a mas- of ova or eg"s, i Inclosed in a gelatinous material. 3 i No. 2 are probably portions of Daphnae, or water fleas; a minute crustaceous animal, which feeds on the putrid materials contained in the 1 water. j No. 3 was a specimen of Vorticella, a curious species of Infusoria, that is set upon a stalk i which it can contract and expand in a cork crew-like shape.

What the Reliever* Say In Its Rehalf. I

To the Editor of The Evsnins Star: Phrenopathy, or mind-cure,as it Is commonly i called, is so little known in Washington, that, as one side of the "shield"' has been presented to us. it is only wise to look at the other side be- I fore forming an opinion. The fact that it meets with opposition is nothing against It. as that is 1 the history of every new discovery and inven- j tion in all ages. j In the study of the mind and its capabilities, the Hindus are far in advance of other nations' 1 One oft hem said to an American, "you study only physical laws, and you have invented the j J telegraph, steam-power,ic., while we have been 1 studying the powers of the mind for twentv i thousand years."' and that accouuts for the wonderful psychological phenomena of which they idoue are masters, baffling the discovery of 1 their secrets by the entire world. 1 Paracelsus wrote. "If we rightlv understood 1 the powers of the mind, nothing would be impossible to us on earth."' j t In the phrenopathic method of cure.it is a 1 fundamental principle that thought is the ground of all reality (Evans). The house that 1 we see was first a thought in the mind of the 1 architect; the paiuting Is but the mauiiestation of the thought of the artist; the statue existed first as a thought in the mind of the sculptor Everything resolves Itself back into a thought for its origin. So with the whole physical uni- verse, from the tiniest flower to the "planetary svstems. All are but the manifestations ot the thoughts of God. Every thought which has 1 truth tor its foundation has in it the life of God 1 and must therefore have the highest therapeutic virtue of anything in the universe (Evans) I 1 he wonderful cures that are being effected at the present time by the ".Mental Healers" 3 show the omnipotence of truth; for we are onlv stammering over the alphabet of metaphysics 1 yet. and if we get a grain of truth, the size"of a mustard seed, into our understanding, it ac- 1 complishes the marvelous results which we see Now as has been stated, everything that exists results, a priori, from a thought. mJw18 a!M> true of our '**Hly condition.

It Is a matter of wonder now to many brokers and others how Washington city got along for so many years without a well regulated stock exchange. The Washington stock exchange, which is not yet four years old, has already taken a creditable place among institutions ot Its class, and has conferred great benefits upon both the bankers and brokers on one hand, and the Investor* and speculators on the other, by facilitating the transaction of business. Formerly the business of buying or selling local securities was transacted through messengers, who would go from otlice to office to make inquiries or hawk stock. Now the exchange business of the brokers is condensed Into the lialftiouror hour usually consumed by the midday i -ssion of the board. The Washington Exchange was established in November, 1881, and held its sessions until recently in the building occupied by H. D. Cooke Co. s bank. The original members were iieorge H. 15. White, H.

Among the members at present are C. C. GJIover, of Riggs Co.; Lewis J. Davis, of Lewis lohnson f money then set loose in search of investment. With the Increase of business the exchange has naturally obtained increased influence and authority. its quotations )f District of Columbia securities are now honored as standard authority in the' other exchanges of the country. The Washington City Gas Light Company's stock has for years been on the list of the Philadelphia exchange, but that exchange now takes the quotations from Washington as authoritative. Among the stocks listed here, the only one not represen ting a local enterprise, is that of the Pennsylvania Teh-phone Company. That has been put on the list, so a member of the exchange said to a 8tak reporter, because It is held here largely. It has been one of the most active stocks on the list, and the quotations given by I he Washington 8tock Exchange are accepted in Harrisborg, Lancaster and othei parts ol Pennsylvania. Every day the list or quotations is sent by the members throughout the >untry to their correspondents and customers, "he transactions of the Exchange, especially those In District securities, do not represent movements of local capital alone.

Still, the members of the exchange do some trading on margins. Of some >f the steadier stocks frequently there is none itloat seeking a purchaser.

CIll'Ri'H AT MT. PLEASAJfT. History of Its Origin and Construction. To the frequenters of the 14th-street road a lew landmark has come into view In the form it the new stone church?"The Church of the Hallowed Name." As It approaches comple;ion It becomes a thing of beauty and of interest, not only to the residents of the village, but 0 all who have at heart the growth of Chrlsianity in the District of Columbia. The buildng of a church in the vicinity has long been a herished purpose in the parish, especially of the Rev. Dr. Buck, rector of Rock Creek church; jut the matter did not assume practical slia(>e mtil the purchasers of the stone estate initla:ed the movement by donating a lot on which ?erect a church, and selling at half-price an idjoining lot on which in future to build a parsonage. Not.only did they do this, but tney aised money by subscription sufficient to bulid he body of thechurch and finish it inside nearly eady for occupancy,with a comparatively small lebt, which it was found necessary to Incur n order to put the building in a condition to icep It in preservation and make It available or use. This work has been accomplished to 1 large extent by the efforts of Mr. John Shernan. The venerable Mrs. Stone, who owned he large estate on which the church now stands, ong knoVn as Mt. Pleasant, from which the ^resent village derived Its name, though not icretofore located upon it. has taken a lively nterest in the work and has contributed libeally toward the fund for constructing the hurch. Not only this, but she has given a special fund for procuring a beautiful audcostly iltar and a silver service for the same and for inishing the chancel In rich carved werry festival at the Mt. Pleasant hall this evening, notice of which is flven in another column. But they alone canaot attbrd all the necessary means to meet these iemands. Additional contributions from rlends of the work In the city are confidently isked, especially since it is expected and desired that attendants at the Sabbath services may come from the city, where they may likewise breathe the pure air of the upper plain. rise Convention of Charities and Correction* Next Week. Prom Harper's Weekly. Amid the passionate heat ot political discussion and party recrimination the good work of ntelligent charity and penal reform goes happily forward. That charity cannot be left safely x> sentimental and ignorant impulse, nor the punishment of crime to mere vindictive feeling, is a conclusion which marks significant progress. Oganlzed charity, which to most persons a very few years since seemed to be a contradiction in terms, is now seen to be the application of common-sense to one of the most permanent and important of human relations. The extent and interest of the subject, and the ability with which it is treated, can be better apprehended, probably, from a study of the volume of papers read at the eleventh national conference of charities and corrections, held last autumn at Kt. Louis, which is just issued by XI r. George H. Ellis, in Boston. The range or topics discussed includes the best methods ol caring for the insane, the idiotic, the deaf and the blind; pauperism, and the best methods of public and private relief; every aspect of the prison question; the care ct neglected, exposed and abandoned children; the organisation ot charity in cities: pauper emigration; the statistics of crime aud misfortune, and the history ol charitable enterprises in the several states. The volume includes also the oral discussions by experts at the conference, and the papers are written by the most competent authorities. To those who are not familiar with the subjects they are full of novelty and interest and suggestion. They open new spheres of beneficent activity to those who in comfort and ease desire some worthy occupation, and they supply a pleasant moral tonic by showing that In the midst of the iucessant and desperately selfish struggle for existence there Is yet so much unselfish thought and study and labor devoted to the relief of every form of suffering, and to making the world really better by stimulating a deeper and wiser sympathy with those who sutler. PAT3TPH EMPTY TOMB. The Monument to the Poet Erected by Mr. Corcoran In the Cemetery at Tunis. When the remains of John Howard Payne, Aithor of "Home, Sweet Home," were brought to this country two years ago lor reinterment In Oak Hill ceuictery, Georgetown, the slab that had covered the grave In the cemetery of St. George,Tunls.where Payne had been burled thirty years ?>efore, was also brought to America and the spot that had l>een for many years the shrine of all English-speaking visitors to Tunis was left unmarked. When Mr. W. W. Corcoran, who had defrayed the expense of bringing home the remains of the dead poet and of placing over his new grave an appropriate monument, heard of the neglected appearance of the first grave, and that the friends ot Payne In Tunis felt a deep regret that at letfct the simple old slab had not been left over the empty tomb, he authorized Mr. John Worthlngton, U. S. consul ut Malta, to have constructed a suitable memorial and place it in the cemetery at Tunis. This trust Mr.Worthlngton has discharged in a manner which Is ruost satisfactory to Mr. Corcoran, and must be gratify in to those residents of Tunis attached to the memory ot Payne, who regretted that his remains should be taken trom their midst even to be brought back to his native land. Mr. Corcoran lias received from Mr. Worthington a lettei\ under date of April '20, announcing the final completion of the monument and Its erection In the cemeterv at Tunis. He encloses also a number of photographs taken ot the monument as it stood In the sculptor's yard at Malta. He expressed in his letter to Mr Corcoran the hope that its final completion and erection "will be as gratifying to the sentiment of your friendship for one whose memorv you have honored so signally and beautifully in both the new and the old world as it must be gratifying to your fellow countrymen, and indeed to every person who has ever been touched by the sacred spirit of Payne's simple and immortal sonar." The monument Is thus described by Mr. Worthington: "The shall Is similar to the one erected over the remains of Payne In Washington by Mr. Corcoran. In settling on a design for the grave in Tunis I concluded that a partial duplicate of the Washington memorial would be appropriate. In the place of the bust of Payne, I have put a symbolical decoration, which is very effective. It was designed by Dr. Nicola Zammit, of Malta, a gentleman ot "high artistic attainments, who furnished it graiu; Itously. and whom 1 have thanked sincerely Dr. Zammit thus speaks of the design: 1 have combined the symbol of the poet with that of the writer. I have given to the lyre simple and solid lorm, as would be suitable to sculpture exited to the air. and which could be piainiy distinguished at some distance. The laurel fs i loose, so as to express that the crown ol genius I is broken by death.' On the marble ribbon is carved the musical notes of the first line of 'Home, Sweet Home.' A book and a scroll complete the symbols. This decoration is of pure white marble, and very satisfactorily ex ecuted. "The whole monument stands seven feet and i one inch in height. The square of its base is four feet. The total weight is about four tons, lite material Is the close-grained, very hard and durable 'zoncor stone found on this Island. Its color is gravish yellow, the prevailing tone being a soft giav. Its surface Is finely i polished, but without glare. On the front Is j clearly carved: I 'In memory ot John Howard Payne, author of 'Home, Sweet Home,' born June 9th, 1791, died April Uth, 185-2.' Beueath this is Krected A. D., 1885.' i And on the four sides of the base are carved the lines: 'Sure when thy gentle spirit fled. To realms beyond the uzure dome, With arms outstretched. (Jod's amrei said, i Welcome to H area's Home, bwe.'t Home.' On the right side of the shaft is a shieid, eagle and E. Plui ibus Unum, similar to the arms of the Department of State, carved in round re. lief In marble and let into the side ot the shaft. Just below this ure the words: 'Died at the American Consulate in Tunis, Aged GO years and ten months.' On the back of the shaft is cut this inscrlp1 tlon: 'In the tomb beneath this stone the poet's remains lay burled for thirty years. On January 5, 18S3, they were disinterred and taken awav to his native laua,where tbov received honored 1 and linal burial In the city of Washington,June i 9, 188:$.' On the left of the shaft is this sentence:?'Then be content, poor heart.' Mr. Worthington writes that the efTe ?t of the monument, as a whole. Is pleasing and satisfactory. It looks substantial, is graceful and siiu1 pie. It stands firm and strong, and in a climate like that of Tunis, where no frosts ever come, it will last for ages. There are several structures, he says, in Malta, mude of "zoncor" stone, i which, though upwards of five centr.ries old.are as sound and perieet to-day as when first erccted.

Death of the Rev. Dr. Stanton. the story told to him by mb. lincoln. From the New York Sun. The Rev. Dr. Stanton, who died last week at sea on board the steamer Nevada, while on a voyage to England, was born at Pacliang, near Norwich, Conn., In March, 1810. He was a brother of Henry Stanton. Dr. Stanton was graduated at Lane Theological Seminary, in 1837, then under the presidency of Dr. Lyman Beecher. He first became a pastor of a Presbyterian church In Mississippi, and subsequently In New Orleans. On the division of the church into old and new school he went with the bodv of the Presbyterian clergy in the south into the former, and ultimately took rank among the j leaders of that branch of the denomination, where he continued till the reunion of the j church was completed in 1871. Eariv in his j ministerial career he had a protracted discussion through the press with the Protestant Episcopal bishop of the diocese ol Mississippi In regard to cardinal differences between their resi>eetive communions, and so ablv did he conduct Ills side of the debate that Princeton conferred upon him the degree of Doctor of Divinity. Previous to the civil war Dr. Stanton was for a short time president of Oakland college In the southwest. During a portion of the war he was professor of theology in Danville seminary, in Kentucky, of which Dr. Robert J. Breckenridge was president. In the great struggle he was aggressively on the side of the Union and in favor of the emancipation policy of Mr. Lincoln. In 1862-'03 the Rev. Dr. McPheeters, a prominent Presbyterian, was preaching at St. Louis. Major Gen. Curtis commanded in that military department. One Sunday Dr. McPheeters uttered some sentiments that were deemed disloyal. The next Sunday Dr. McPheeters found the doors of h's church closed by order of Gen. Curtis. Tnerc was an immediate trouble, not alone In St. Louis, but in Washington. A committee composed of both factions went to see. the President. Finding Dr. Stanton in Washington, they requested, him to go with them to the White IIoumo and present them to Mr. Lincoln. The President listened patiently, and then ?poke abont as follows: "I can best illustrate my position In regard to your .St. Iiouis quarrel by telling a story. A man in Illinois had a large watermelon patch, on which he hoped to muko money enough to carry him over the year. A big hog broke through the loir fence nearly every night, and the melons were gradually disappearing. At length the farmer told his son John to get out the guns, and they would promptly dispose of the disturber of their melon patch. They followed tiie tracks to the nehrhboring creek, wheri' they disappeared. They discovered them on the opposite bank, and waded through. They kept on the trail a couple of hundred yards, when the tracks again went Into the creek, but promptly turned up on the other side. Once more the.hnnters buffeted the mud and water, and again struck the lead and pushed on a few furlongs, wheu the tracks made another dive into the creek. Out of breath and patience, the farmer said, 'John, you crossover and go up on that side of the creek, and I'll keep up on this side, for I believe the old varmint is on both sides.' Gentlemen," concluded Mr. Lincoln, "that Is Just where I stand in regard to your controversies In St. Louis. 1 am on both sides. I can't allow my generals to run the churches, and I can't allow your ministers to preach rebellion. Go home, preach the gospel, stand by the Union, and don't disturb the government with any more of your petty quarrels." Dr. Stanton said that wheu the belligerents reached Willard's hotel they had a hearty laugh, and made up their minds that they would go home and follow the President's advice. After the war Dr. Stanton was for several years president of Miami University, at Oxford, Ohio. In 1800 he was chosen moderator of the old school general assembly, which met in St. Louis. The new school general assembly met at the same time In that city. It was there that the first effective steps were taken which resulted in the reunion of the great Presbyterian communion of the north after a separa tlon of a third of a century. Dr. Stanton had often crossed the sea to repair energies exhausted by study and work, and he had always been refreshed by these trips. But, unmindful of the fact that his health was unusually feeble, and that he was in the seveuty-slxtli year of his age, he carried the pitcher once too often to the fountain, and it was broken. He was burled In mid-ocean. >e? Congremnuia Lswler't Lobsters. From the Indianapolis Journal. When Congressman Lawler, of Chicago, made his first visit to New York, some years ago, a friend Invited him to a restaurant, where they called for softshell crabs. Lawler had never seen any before, and did not know what they were. He liked them, however, and a few days afterward, wishing to regale himself again with some of the toothsome crustaceans, he hunted up the restaurant, walked in, and sat down at a table; but he had forgotton the name of the food he desired. Looking over the bill of fare he saw "lobsters." He called the waiter and said: "Waiter, have yon any lobster*?'' "Yes," said the waiter. "Bring me a dosen," said Lawi ler. "A dosen," exclaimed the waiter, in i astonishment. Lawyer saw that he i?nuli> a mistake, but he was not going to admit it. "Confound you," he said, "don't you suooose I know what I want? Bring me a down!" The table was cleared of everything was on It, and Lawler pitched in. He ate all he possibly oould. called for a glass of brandy, i looked up at the waiter and said: "WaiterTl was nut as hungry as I thought I was. How much is the bin?" "Fourteen dollars and fifty cents," replied the waiter. "Why. it is not as much as I thought it would be* said lawler. "Here, you needn't mind the change," and handing the waiter fifteen dollars Mr. Lawler walked out. v w i m jl. vyv/v jb?^ THE TREES It WASHIXWTOV A Mighty Fornt Crotrin; Within the City. A SPLENDID SCHEME FOK PROVIDING SHADE AND BEAUTIFYING THE STREETS SrCCESSFVLLY CARRIED OUT. Washington Correspondence New York Tu\vwl? Standing upon the dome of the Capital at this season ot the year one overlooks a vast labyrinth ofleufin'* trees probably uuequaled in extent, variety and symmetry In any other city in the world. In a few years our capital will become pre-eminently the forest city of the nn- tion. Trees all around you. In platoons, in columns, in ranks, single, double, and quadruple, they shade and ornament with their luxuriant foliage not only the magnificent avenues where fashiou tuk*?s Its daily airing, but equally the squalid and unimproved streets Inhabited by the very poor. There are trees of many varte- j ties?the stately plume-crowned elm, symmetrical, tender-leaved Carolina poplars: sprawl- j ing, much-bebuttoned sycamores, in liveriesof white; rare and distinguished looking j ginkgos, lifting their spare trunks heavenward. like lofty church spires: soft, greeu, umbra- geous maples?the people's favorite?and generous, broad-leaved lindens and catalpas. There Is no more striking sight in Washington than maybe seen by standing in the center of one of the small parks,called circles, situated at the intersection of sometimes eight or ten streets and avenues, and then letting the eye range along the rows of growing treus'of many species, of similar height and beautiful aspect, which radiate from you for miles in all directions.like si>okcs frm the hub of a wheel. And one needs 1 only to notice some hot August day the pedestrians dodging trom tree to tree to escape the j blistering sun, the horses picking their wav where the trees shade the street, and little children continuing their play at noontide beneath their grateful shelter, to be convinced that they I have an important bearing ujmui public health i and comfort. These facts lea your correspond-j ent to hunt up one of the originators of this great improvement, Mr. William Saunders, su periutendcnt.of the propagating garden, depart- mentof agriculture, for information, and Mr. Saunders imparted the-e tacts: There are about 00,000 trees in the streets of Washington. Our streets are provided with 125 miics of shade, exclusive of parks and pub lie gardens. We intend that every graded street, whether inhabited or not, -hafl have at least two rows of vigorous growing shade trees, 1 and many of the wider avenues contain four. Set out in single tile, twenty-live feet apart, our trees would extend from hereto New York city, i Planted in a grove, allowing only twenty-lour feet spiice between the trees, and they would form a forest covering SOO acres. Our maples alone probably number 25,000?a pretty l>ig sugar orchard with which tosweeten the public temper. Probably no other city in the world has provided so munificently and systematically for its citizens in the matter of shade. This city is the pioneer and mo*t successful example of the application of arboriculture to the improvement and ornamentation of public i streets. When carrying out the extensive j scheme of public Improvements about the vear i 1870, great complaint was made because of the destruction of shade trees in the process of 1 street grading. It waeen ?18.000. The parking commission has not had the handling of the money, their duties being wholly ad- vlsorv and superintending. During ttie first few years of our administration the principal outlay was for purchasing and setting out trees. As soon as practicable two nurseries were started and planted with the seeds of approved varieties of shade trees, and by this means of late years we have beeu able to secure our suxrk at minimum price and little loss. "As the number of trees under ovir charge increased it was found that the iioxingand pr?>j>er care of those already planted absorbed the funds to such an extent that only two or three thousand new trees could be plauted annually. Our tree boxes cost us 45 cents apiece, and by their peculiar construction serve not only to protect the trees from outside violence, but also atrord adequate support to the young trees against the high winds which often prevail in this section and to which, from their Isolated j position, they are peculiarly exposed. Under favorable conditions a tree 1k>x will last six or eight years. The employment of six or eight men with three horses is required, throughout the working season, to renew and repair the tree boxes alone. It is amazing how many enemies a properly planted tree has to contend with in its laudable efforts In behalf of public comfort. Every runaway horse is sure to fetch up against a tree box, to their mutual hurt and destruction. Drunken men find them a safer and far more convenient resting place than the proverbial lamp post. Ilaiu and wind storms j In connection with excessive growth produce a j large annual crop of accidents. Two thousand j trees were prostrated iu a single summer storm a few years ago. Besides no tree is exempt from its hereditary foes in the way of bug*, beetles and worms. The police report daily all mishaps to trees and boxes, and we keep a team busy throughout the growing season repairing damages, such as removing broken limbs and worms'nests. It requires a large aggregate of labor to simply care for a forest of (iO.OOO trees, for such it really is. During the planting season, of course, a much larger force is temporarily employed. The history oi a tree depends almost wholly upon the skill and pains bestowed upon it at planting. A street having been designated for the setting, we dig holes at intervals of 25 or :JU leet. according to the variety ol tree, from which three cartloads of dirt are removed and carried away. The trees are then brought from the nurseries in a wagon especially built for that purpose, care being taken that the roots shall not become dry, which, as you know, is the chief cause of debility and loss when they are shipped from some far distant nursery. The head having been suitably cut back, the tree Is deposited in the hole, which is then Ailed with three cartloads of good soil, prepared and enriched for that purpose. As each tree involves the handling of six cartloads of soil, which must often be conveyed long distances, and at an average expense of 50 cents per load, you perceive that the main expense is not the tree itself, but the planting. It is also often needful to water the newly planted trees during the dry heats of summer. With such careful and seientitic treatment the loss reaches the astonishingly low figure of 2 i>er cent, and theentire cost of an established tree is found to be less than as against $0. the average cost in Paris. "The main difficulty we encounter," continued Mr. Saunders, "is in the matter of pruning. The Almighty never inteuded that a tree should be pruned, agricultural wiseacres to the contrary notwithstanding. Hen?*e we never trim a tree without good and sullicient reason.,. Some varieties send down long pendulous branches which interfere with the hats and umbrellas of passers by, alid require to be removed. Others grow a mass ol foliage so dense as to offer a solid front to gales of wind, and must be thinned out to prevent their overthrow, a fatality to which the isolated trees of the streets are far more liable than those plauted in parks. It Is aiso necessary to clip off the twigs infested with worms' nests, &c. This pruning can be safely intrusted only to expert operators, whose services can be secured only at rates beyond that which our appropriation authorizes us to expend; hence we are much embarrassed in this branch of the service. Sometimes we are asked to remove the tops of the growing trees because they Interfere with the telegraph wires, but we do not do it." Further conversation developed the tact that the favorite and best shade tree, evidenced by experience and popular approval, is the maple, of which seven distinct varieties are planted. Most of them are slow growers, but do not easily break, are seldon troubled with insects, and offer a symmetrical and pleasant aspect. For wide avenues, where there is plenty of room, preference Is shown for the sycamore?a favorite shade tree in Europe, though not so popular here?and the linden and elm. Massachusetts avenue is traversed by four rows of linden trees for a distance of nearly Ave miles, and some day will become a noted promenade on account ot the magnificent shade these royal trees will afford. The elm does very well in this climate, though subled to the ravages of a worm that often divests It entirely of foliage, and to destroy which no sufficiently economical apparatus has yet beeu devised. The Carolina poplar is extensively utilised, its quick growth, pyramidal shape, clean bark ana glossy green foliage compensating for some minor disadvantages. The spindling but beautiful leaved ginkgo has been planted, with striking effect, along the avenue leading through the park iu front of the Agricultural department, its exceedingly spare top leaving the view of the other trees ot the park unimpeded. As frequent inquiries are made from other cities as to the kinds of trees most successfully planted iu Washington, the list is appended in the diminishing order of their frequency: Ootnmonliiime.

The present edifice was completed In 1790, the foundation stone having been laid by Louis XV. in 17?4. j The new church was also dedicated to Saint Genevieve, but in 1791 the convention resolved to convert it into a kind of memorial temple, j which they numed the "Pantheon," inscribing on it the words "Aux grands homines la patrie rrconnaissantc." Tills inscription was erased in 1822, but renewed in 1830, after the July revolution. By a decree of 1851 the original name of Eglise ?te. Genevieve was revived, and it was again set apart for public worship: but the old inscription remains, and tno familiar republican name is still used. The cditloc, which resembles a heathen tem- pic rather than a church, is of most, imposiu? dimensions, and its form is that of a Greek cross (with equal arms), 339 feet long and ISO feet wide, surrounded by a dome 272 feet in height. The dome rests on a lofty cylinder or drum enclosed by an open Corinthian colonnude, and is crowned with a lante'rn.

To-day the best butter in the world sells at twenty cents per pound wholesale, and the oleomargarine manufacturers, who for the last year have beeu cutting each other's throats, are getting proportionately lower in their prices. To sell cheaper they must use cheaper materials, and now when the oountrv is excited over the imminence of a cholera epidemic and food is carefully looked to, the matter becomes one of the most serious consideration. "There Is plenty of money In it, bufl would prefer the profits of the legitimate article to the preservation of a fraud." JOBBERS AOAIX8T THE LAW. Among the jobbers the almost unanimous opiuion was that the law was unfair and would be Inoperative. It was "class legislation and not in keeping with the spirit of the Institution. No organized effort has yet been arranged to fight it, but the Jobbers and retailers are now considering the advisability of joining forces to test it. The result in New York is anxiously looked for and will have a great deal to do lii determining the course of action to be pursued here. In the markets the refsilers are blue. Several were found who admitted that thev made an average of flfteeu cents i?er pouud on bogus butter, as the only way they could sell it was to put the price as high or nearly as high as good butter in order to complete the deception. GOV. SHEPHERD IN MEXICO. His Mining Operations There. HIS GEASD WORK AT THE CAPITAL OF THE NATION?THE OVATION HE WILL RECEIVE ON HIS RETURN. "Oath" iii Cincinnati Enquirer. Ex-Gov. Shepherd, of the District of Columbia, will return to this country some time during the summer or fall, and will probably receive the ovation he deserves from a city which he created to his own injury and ruin. Every step this man took to lift the capital out of the mud was hooted by the professional sneaks and belittlers of earnest endeavors. Attemnting to blackmail him and have hiin charge the black-piail to the public treasury, the assailants of Shepherd tailed, and then they raised the cry that he was a great thief. His work speaks for itself, and their words are dead and rotten. Mr. Samuel Elliott lias sent me a report he has >tist made on Gov. Shepherd's mines In Mexico, whither he proceeded as one of a company with T. L. Crittenden and another. These three went to Ratopilas last November. Gov. Shepherd has never left these mines but once in four years, and then only to go to Chihuahua. He is coming home in October. Shepherd lives at a place called Hacienda of San Miguel, where are mills, warehouses, boarding-houses for the employes, 4c. The buildings are very solid and are walled. The committee found perfect good order and system and constant industry there. When Shepherd took this property the plant had only costabout 85,000. It had an old threestamp mill and three arastras. Sneplierd had put up strong, durable buildings: the place is so surrounded by mountains that liowlders roll down and break the houses to pieces unless they are well walled. Now Gov. Sliepherd has one thirty-stamped steam mill and another fifteenstamped mill, the two having cost under $200,000. He ha* a tramway which cost about $38,000; the whole plant now stands at ?:i56,OOO. The assets of the company are reckoned at $644,OOO; the liabilities are about 8279.JRK). Shepherd started in with a working capital of J 150,OOO. In two years It paid $280,000 In ividends, having MET A BONANZA, which was not of durable continuance. Much of the ore also began to assay low compared to the first ore taken out. Shepherd, therefore, extended his enterprise to adjacent mines, which he found more favorable relatively. He began to buy and treat the ores of the whole adjacent region, consequently during 1883 he had a net profit of 8102,0. During 18*5 it Is exj>ected that the profits will be about $200,00v his pit-dp^ and will j continue to do so, and that his cabinet officei* s and with him.

I THE STARRY KKIKS OF II'XE. f The Plnnrtnry Display for the Jfonth. From the Providence Journal. Satnrn is evening star until the 18th, when, like Neptune, lie de>crts the western to hold his court in the eastern sky. On the 18th, at 0 o'clock in the afternoon, Saturn Is in conjunction with the sun, passing with his rings and moons l>ehlnd the sun. and reappearing on his western -He ;i- morning star. He is hidden for a time in the sun's blinding rays, but keeps Steadily on his westward course, until, when midsummer reigns, he becomes a beautiful ob Ject in the morning sky, one f the tairest gems that sparkle in the firmament in the small hour- of the night, and continues to shine until the glowing dawn puts out his feebler light, lie wins the place of honor for the month of June, not so much for his arrival at the least i Interesting epoch of his course, :is for the fact that between hi-conjunction and following op- i position, he will pa>s perihelion and t>e lOO.- HW.OOO miles nearer the sun than when iu aphelion, an event that, occurring but once in ab>t:t thirty years, brings him perceptibly nearer to the art h. and makes him a more effective target :or terrestrial telescopes. Saturn is. however, thl- mouth, only the planet ot promise. safely hidden from mortal eye, he travels on his unseen path, coming toward us and growing -lightly brighter, until his time corner to take on a visible presence. Saturn, before conjunction, pays his respects to Venus, the former traveling towards tne sun, th'.> latter receding from the miii on the starStrewn pathway. Saturn, after conjunction, meets Mercury, the one receding from and the other approaching the sun. The three planets l?w their meetings and partings nil to themselves, for when they mvur the celestial actors are safe) v i! diroude 1 iu thehaloof light that surrounds the sun, and are unseen by terrestrial observers. Jupiter i- evening star during the month. IK* is a superb object in the western evening sky of June, the only visible planet, and the brighte-t of the 3.000 stars visible on clear moonless nights. His course wiil be Interesting to watcn. for he is now moving east ward among tlie stars, or in. direct motion, after having been for a long time stationary, or moving westward in retrograde motion, as it is technically called. Proot of this >s readily seen by observing the slowly increasing distance between him and regulus, the bright star, which he has now deserted for good. At a meeting of the Royal Astronomical society in London the Karl of Crawford made a Yery interesting statement in regard to one of the satellites of Jupiter. i?r. Copeland, he said, had recently observed a transit of Jupiter's fourth satellite, that N, the passage of the satellite over the planet's disc. While closely watchlug the phenomenon, he saw the satellite overtake and occult its own shadow on the bodv of the planet. Thi proved that, at the time,"the sun, the earth, the satellite, and the part of Jupiter's disc occulted, were in one straight line. Tin re,ore. t.> an observer on Jupiter, the earth, at the time of observation, must have been making a transit ovur the sun's disc. But we fear the grand phenomenon passed unseen j by any observers on the Jovian disc, lor there Is hardly a possibility that lifecvcn in its lowest forms has yet been developed iu the huge mass Where primeval chaos reigns. Uranus js evening star, on the 19th, at 10 I O'clock in tiie evening, he is in quadrature with j the sun on the eastern side. He then, as his three giant brothers have done before hitu, j reaches the half-way house between opposition and conjunction, and thenceforth must l>e looked for in the western sky as he makes his way towards the sun. He is nearly stationary during the month,aud presents no other aspects Worthy of record. Mercury is morning star till the 27th, and then evening star. On the 27th, at lO o'clock in the morning, he is iu superior conjunction with the sun. since his previous superior conJunction he has made one of his swiit circuits round the sun, which takes but S8 of our days, and whirled on in his course until he has overtaken the slower moving earth, thus completing his synodic revolution of 115 days,and coming into line with the sun and the earth. At this point of his course he is beyond the sun, but he j quickly reappears on the sun's eastern side, and i passes through his varied aspects of evening and morning star until he has completed an- other synodic period in less than lour of our months. Years are short on the tiery little i planet that travels closest to the sun, one of j them numbering but S8 of our days. A terres- I trial veteran of three score and ten, translated to Mercury, would be no less than 290 years Oid on the Mercurial annals. On the 5th, at 2 o'clock in the afternoon. Mercury. when approaching the sun, encounters Neptune receding from the suu. They are 4n close conjunction. Mercury being 18' south. On the 23d. at 11 o'clock in the evening, the conditions are reversed; Mercury, very near the sun, meets Sat urn traveling in the opposite direction, and they pass each other, as nas been referred to. Mercury is the agitator of the brotherhood, and. moving on winged feet, makes things lively iu the sun'S family. Venus is evening star. She Is slowlv and surely making her way to Visibility aud her presence in the glowing west will be warmly welcomed. On the last day of the month she sets an hour after the sun and sharp-sighted observers may obtain a glimpse of her. She must be looked tor in the northwest, half a degree south of the sunset point in the constellation Gemini, south of Castor and Pollux and north of Procyon. Her high northern declination will make her more easily visible. Venus is in conjunction with Saturn on the 7th, as has been referred to. Neptune is morning star. His path lies near that of Mars during the month. The planets are in conjunction on the loth, at 6 o'clock in the evening. Neptune being 1? 29' south. Mars is morning star. At the close of the month Saturn, Neptune and Mars are morning stars; Mercury, Venus, Jupiter and Uranus are evening stars. THE MOOX. The June moon fulls on the 29th, at 14 minutes after 10 o'clock iu the morning. She Is in conjunction with Neptune on the loth aud with Mars on the same day, 6 minutes later showing how near together those planets are! On the 11th, the day before new moon, she is at her nearest point to Mercury, and on the 13th, the day after new moon, she pa-ses Venus. On the 17th she is in conjunction with Jupiter and on the 19th with Uranus. The moon, on the Hith, occults Omicron j Leonjs. a star of the iP>2 magnitude in the con- i stellation l.eo. The immersion takes place at 7 minutes l>etore 7 o'clock, about half an hour j before sunset. The emersion occurs 1 minute j before o'clock, 37 minutes after sunset. The occupation continues 1 hour and 0 minutes. The emersion will be visible iu a small telescope. The moon occults Uranus for the fifth time since the year commenced. The occultation occurs on the 19th. and can be seen between the limiting parallels ot 20? and 80? south lati- 1 tnde. she also occults Alpha Faarl or Aldebaran on the 11th for those who chance to have the right time and place for observation. j 1 Them >nth of .June contributes an interesting budget of planetary events. The great suu himself is joint actor with the meml?ers of his 1 family in three of them, the conjunction of Saturn, the juadrature of Uranus aud the superior conjunction of Mercury. Five of the planets, 1 grouped near the sun and nea* to each other, make matters lively as they meet and pass on the ccl.--.ti u track, Saturn being in conjunc- tlou with enr.s and Mercury, and Neptune with Mercury and Mars. The moon is not out- done by the n,?re imposing members of the family, for. besides drawing near to each planet in turn, she o -cults I rauus, Aldebaran and Omicron I .corns ror the pleasure of fortunate observers in some portions of the terrestrial do- mains. Thus the month beats witness, as all i previous months have done, and ail coining months will do. to the never-ending succession interesting phenomena, the wondrous van- ?ty and the ennobling influence that reward the study of til-.-. i ueen of t he sciences, the oldest and the noblest of them all.

lie Should Have IIin Pension. From the Ph liuleipiiia Times. I met a r .ken-down veteran yesterday who han the last day of December. 1*4H, he w;ts captured by the confederates i while with a boat 's crew patroling the harbor of t_ harleston, ~?>uth Carolina. Tins boat's crew was comp -s. d of a -.illor irom a vessel here and there in the blockading lleet. The confed.-ra s took him to Charleston. About that time s.n rm.in was marching through Georgia, and the confederates along tlie coast were considerably fright- n*;d. They began moving the I I nion prisoners from one point io another and my,friend was with theui. While on the move be was ba.liy wounded one night by a brutal confederate sentry, who Jabbed a bayonet through hi- leg. Three mouths after his cap. ture In wa.-exchanged March, 1 and n?vorted at the ashhigton navy yard, "entirely broken do-.ru, lull of scurvy, and iti a general d>.-il:tatcd condition.'' 1 am quoting, irom the_r? -.>rds. He was discharged for dissibility. Ye.in? afterward, when he needed the money, he applied for a pension. That applic.itiou i> still ou tile. He has proven that he was captured ami released at the time stated above, 1. al that he was full ot sores, broken down, Ac., when he arrived l ack home, and that he has Devi r Ui ii able to work at his trade since; but because he cannot prove that he was wounded in the leg, which the confederate records are silent on. be cannot get his pension. How many hundreds of c iiuparatively souiul men are Walking around the streets and drawing pension rcgulariy who never suffered half a? much as this man? There must be something radically wrong in the rule^ of evidence in some pension cases. Illnsplicmy a* Motive Power. From the Pall Mall BuUget. Tlie l\U'jrap;is special correspondent gave an interesting explanation the other morning of the very slow rate of march of Graham s force the other day on the roadtoTainai. Oji Stewart's marches the men got their camels along at nearly three tulles an hour; on Graham' the pace was only one mile an hour. The cau-e of th.s. In Mr. Burleigh's opinion, was not so mucb the inferior gate of the Indian camels as the comparatively mealy mouths of the drivers. who did tiieir work "very quietly and decorously," whereas the forced inarches under Stewart were the result of good hard swearing. L This, by the way, was not the fault of the chapL lams, for the only clergyman who got through to Metemneh preached to the men one day In most effective terms against swearing; evidently his sermon went home to many hearts, but (fortunately lor the rate of march) the force of habit was strong, and a quarter of an hour afterwards Mr. Huriei^h heard two privates conversing earnestly ul>out ihe sad state of things "in pIy~aseolk back seats, lien Arm- ington, of the Mail, was the last admitted. Mrs. Reynolds sighed heavily and remarked: J "Sometimes 1 have circles composed entirely of ladies, sometimes entirely of gentlemen, but j Jthen the manifestations are not so good, be- cause there is too much positive force." "How will they be to-night?" asked Hudson. "I think they will be good." and Mrs. Reynolds then ordered Harry, the smooth-fared young man. to open the cabinet. Harry said the performance would begin with collections, and he parsed the hat for .$1 per head, which was paid. The cabinet curtains were drawn ftside, and skeptics were invited to inspect the apartment. One visitor examined the curtains, tapped the floor and found nothing but what showed on the surface. Harry then locked the and doors darkened JJ the rom by placing a large paper funnel over a the lamp, which was turned low to burn dimly. Harry and the medium began singing. "In the Sweet By and By," the visitors being requested to Join. Just as t lie song was finished Mrs. Reynolds said some one was calling her to come into the cabinet. She wore a dark dress, and at this time was seated directly against the cabi-| c net curtains. "Nearer, my God. to Thee," was then sung, and the spirits drew Elsie and her I chair into the cabinet. Soon afterward the cur- 11 tains were parted,and a white figure appeared, i v but only for a moment. The medium then said "little Ella" was there, and immediately came c the words, in a child girl's voice, "Dood even- s ing. I am here again. Mrs. Reynolds had with her a large tin horn, through which she talked in a gruff voice, resembling that of a large-lunged man. "Who is with you," she asked of Etfie. "Susie, she wpuld'nt tell me her other name last night, but now she says it is Organ. She says her first name was Evans." "That's right," said Dr. A. T. Hudson. The curtains parted, and a white-robod figure took one step from the cabinet. "What is vonr name?" asked a visitor. v "Lily. Lily Roberts.'* The figure stepped back, and Mrs. Reynolds sang, in a harsh voice, through the horn, a sailor's song. I "I tan sing better'n that," said Effle, and on request she came to the front of the cabinet, appearing about two feet in height, and sang in a a childish voice. Sl Two "spirits" were then shown together. s First came one, a young woman, who said her name was Sarah Dodge. The good-looking t lady who was among the spectators recognized her as a sister. The spirit came forward, shook tl hands with the live sister, and then embraced 1 and kissed, the deluded sister being much agi- a tated. The spirit went back, and again the curtain was raided, showing two spirit forms, Sarah and a dead sister. The live sister l>ecame very nervous, and asked for a message. "Sarah" li said their father was Jonathan Dodge. "Tell a him Sarah wishes to see him very soon." The medium announced: "There is in the n band an Indian girl who comes out and puts v lace under the chairs of medium persons, and tl a lace girl who picks up the lace. The Indian Cl pirl is hot seen placing the lace. The lace girl has not been with us Car some time, but she is u coming." The curtains were parted, and be- d hind the guarding table was seen another tl "spirit," that of the lace girl, who said: "Some- body's got my lace. Somebody's got my lace." a The figure, which, like all the others, was robed d in white, advanced from the side of the table to tl the middle of the floor. The Dodge sister asked ft if she would shake hands. v "No," said the lace girl: "I can't." v "Oh, yes," suggested Dr. A. T. Hudson. "No s] one will harm you." I, Reassured, the "spirit" came forward another sr. lienkell gave an elaborate and most ex- m haustive statement of tlie case from the stand- T point of the cremationists. He viewed it his- p toi'ically, scientifically, every way;and oti'en- c siw and even disgusting as were some of the Is allusions, he seemed to be successful at times a in interesting his audiences in his subject. Dr. g Benkell's arguments, stripped oi details, amounted to this, that cremation and inhu- v matiou both implied burning, and that as ere- a matiou was the most speedy and the least b offensive it was tiie preferable of tlif two modes of burning. The lecturer eave an ex- ror so that can cat iu peace. I'm no photograph shop on rhecls." "Very good, sir. You're not a resident of 'hicago, I see?" "You can bet a hundred to one I ain't, and 'm In with you as often as you can get takers, ind, furthermore, I don't want to be a resident 1' Chicago if that's the way a fellow is expected 0 live." Desperation seized upon him when he tried 11 vain to And out where a street was, and scl*.'ine was determined upon in the hope hat they would come iiis way the next deal. 1 street was found where a ditch about 18 feet eep had been dug, probably in search of a war umor with which to work the market. A stand ras taken alongside of the ditch, and the tirst nan that came along was yanked into the avern by the writer, who proceeded to jump n top of the victim with both feet before esape was possible. Then followed the dialogue iven below: "Say "Want to buy or sell?"interrupted the Chicago itizen. "May, June, July, spot or aifything.' "Buy nothing, colonel. I want some luforaatlon." "Want a pointer, eh "Yes." "Commission iu advance. Twelve dollars and half; please." "Thunder and Mars, man, you don't propose o charge me $12.50 for telling me where ltanlolpli street Is. do you "Business is business, young man. Come to entre,*and be quick about it. You owe me J 8 now." "What for "Time lost. Settle." By the time the chump from Cincinnati could limb out of the ditch lie was compelled to teiernph home for money. The correspondent, desiring to get even, fixed p a scheme of his own, and here is how it was forked. Accosting a wealthy gentleman who ras found in a pocket formed by several diilernt streams of people all trying to go in oppoite directions, sot hat the wealthy gent couldn't et away, the writer said to him "You owe me 830. Fay me right now." "How do I come to owe you anything?" "For time expended on your account." "In what way?" "In telling you that you owe me $30." "Why, I glad to meet you, sir. You must e the original settler of Chicago." Finding a hacknian who looked as though ie had made all the money he wanted for one ay, the jehu's confidence was sought.. He ras told that the miserable wretch who repeetfully addressed him had just $300 left,' nd would the liackinan guarantee to take im to any depot on earth where a traiu ould be taken immediately for any place in lie world out of Chicago, the understanding ciug that the hackman was to take the ?300, nd to see that no other Chicago Indian i-alped him betM'een there and the railroad tatiou "Any baggage, mister?"

Hon* English is Taught. As regards the result of such teaching of Engsh as is given in some of our best schools and cademies, I may be pardoned for referring to ly own observation. Since 1873, when Harard college for the first time held an examinalon in English, I have read from 4,000 to 5,000 onipositions written in the examination room pon subjects drawn from books which the canidates were required to read before presenting tiemselves. Of these not more than a hundred -to make a generous estimate?were credithie to either writer or teacher. This year I id not read the books, but one who did makes lis report: "Few were remarkably good, and jw extraordinarily bad; a tedious mediocrity as everywhere." It is this tedious mediocrity ;hlch has amazed me year after year. In pelling, punctuation ?md grammar some of the ooks are a little worse than the mass, and >me a great deal better; but in other respects lere is a dead level, unvaried by a fresh thought r an individual expression. Almost all the Titers use the same commonplace vocabulary -a very small one?In the same confused way. lie year, after reading two or three hundred onipositions on "The Story ot the Tempest," I >und myself in such profound ignorance of oth plot and characters that I had to read the lay to set myselt right again. The authors of tiese discouraging manuscripts were, almost 11 of them, "Just at the age 'twlxt boy and youth, When thought ts speech, and speech is truth." hey may be justly regarded as the picked outh of the country, many of them coming oiii the best families in point of culture and reeding, and from the best schools we have, hev were all boys with blood in their veins i nd braijis in their heads, and tongues that auld talk fast enough and to the purpose when iiey felt at ease. Many of them had enjoyed The Tempest"?as who that can understand it oes not??but somehow the touch of pen or encil paraivzed their powers. If the dreary [impositions written by the groat majority of Andidates for admission to college were cor?ct in spelling, intelligent in punctuation, and nexceptianable In grammar there would be line compensation; but this is so far from being ie case that the instructors of English in .merican collegos have to spend much of their me and strength in teaching the ABC of leir mother tongue to young men of twenty? rork disagreeable iu itself and often barren of suit. Every year Harvard graduates a cerUn number of men ?some of them high iholars whose muuuscript would disgrace boy of twelve, and yet the col ge cannot lie blamed, for she can hardly e expected to conduct an infant school for dults. Is there any remedy lor this state of lings? I venture to say that there is, but it is ne that demands persistent and long-continued ork and hearty co-operation on the part of all ho have to do with the use of English in the ?hools in any form and for any purpose. It reuires intelligent supervision at one time, lu.'lligent want of supervision at another time nd watchful attention constantly. It reouires quick sense of individual needs and ready wit provide for them as they arise. My plan is riefiy as follows: 1, I would begin as early as ossible to overcome the mechanical ditliculies of writing, and would use all practicable leans and all possible opportunities to do so; I would not frighten a boy with "composi10ns," so called, till he could form his sentences ritli tolerable correctness and use his pen with eedora; but, 3, when he was set to work writig compositions lie should be kept steadily at and at the same time should be made to take u interest in what he is doing, and should be inpressed with the importance of havingsomeliing to say, and of saying that something in u intelligible and a natural manner.?iVoy.

I approached the well at night, eeing no one, I walked boldly up to the enlosure and was scribbling down a few notes rlicn a heavy hand was laid upon my shoulder, urulug around 1 confronted a man of hugli. roportious. He knew what I was up to. We linclied each other simultaneously. He was ltger anil stouter than I was, and seizing me round the waist he soon had me flat on the round. 'No shooting,' said he. *1 won't hurt you cry much. I'll just heave yon into the creek nd let you go, but you must never come back ere as a spy, or it will go hard with you.' "With this he picked me up in spite of mv eslstance and partly carrying, partly dragging ie to the creeK, tossed me into the stream, rhich was several feet deep at that point. I nd left my rifle at the well and mj pistols ,ere rendered useless by the water, so 1 was radically defenseless. All I could do was to rumble out and break lor home. The weather ras cold and I nearly froze before I got to a lire, afterward made up with the watchman and ecovered my gun. I received only lor this ib. It was dearly-earned money.1' Gordon mid Tennyson. 'rem the rail Mall Gazette. "I want you," said Gordon, now many years go, to the Poet Laureate, "to do something for ur young soldiers, Mr. Tennyson. You are one f the few men who can." The scheme which he poet's son has now fairly set on foot for a Gordon Boys' Camp" is an excellent realizaion of Gordon's wishss. The camp would be f equal advantage to the boys themselves, for yhoru, when turned out of school at fourteen, uanagers have so much difficulty in finding >ccuputlons, and to the army, which at present omprlses, as it were, two camps, the officers icing highly trained, while the ranks are filled ?y young fellows without any previous trailing at all. Cardinal Manning and other speakers were confident that the Boys' Camp would lot clash with the hospital at Port Said. The wo things are. Indeed, utterly unlike In all repeets, and not least In this, that the hospital s as ingeniously inappropriate a national nemorlal to Gordon as the camp is a clear ealizution of some of his deepest wishes. Now, here Is some difficulty already, we hear, as to he sight of the hospital, unde.- which circumilances would it not be well for the Committee o acknowledge Its mistake, to call a general neetlng of the subscribers, and to hand over ,he money to the camp without more ado? A Battle With an Eagle. the desperate struggle op a hunter with a wounded btrd on bald mount. From the Xew York ^un. A hunter named Jasper Wiltsey had an'exciting cxiwrience with an eagle on the summit of Bald Mount the other day, the details of which he told to the Sun's correspondent as follows: "I was roamln' around on the top of the mount one day last week sliootin' crows an' hawks an' sich kind o' small an' wuthless game, when I heerd an onearthly screechiu' an' caw In' a little ways off from where I was takln' a rest on a rock an' iookin'down into the valley. I looked up and see a pack o' crows sallln' 'round a tumble big eagle, an' ev'ry now an' then divin' at It an' flghtin' it fur all they was wurth. As near sis 1 could guess there was forty or rifty crows in all, an' ev'ry one on 'em was pltehin' at the big bird an' trvln' to down him. Ho screamed an' flopped his wings an' tried to git away from the pack, but they hung on to him like tlies 'round a hoss In summer time, only gittin' out o' the way when he made 'em. Tiio crows made the air hot fur the big bird, an' he had alt he could do to keep 'em off, fur they tackled him as if they meant to eat him up. They was as mad as wasps, an' they went fur him with a vengeance. "Tine big bird didn't "pear to see anything but the crows, an' he tlew low down a* he came to ards the cliff where I was. I pulled my ride on him an' hit him in the left wins* The crows got away as fast as crows kin fly as soon as they heerd the shot, an' the big bird tumbled to the groun' near by. I thought 'twould bean easy matter to ketch him then,but when I went up to take hold of him he darted at me an' tried to pounce on me with both feet. I see that I had faced a bold feller, an' I dodged to one side bout as quick as I ever did In my life, an' made a move to grab one of his wings. He didn t take any stock in my familiarity, an' struck at me agin'. This time he clawed at me an'looked wild an'mad. I wanted to ketch him alive, fur he was a noble bird, an' the way he showed fight made me admire him. 1 had a piece o' strong cord in my pocket, an', while I was keepin' out o' the way o' his claws an" wings, I made aslippin' noose out o' it, tliinkin' that 1 might git it over his head an' cool him down a little, an'in that way bring him to his senses. But he kept inovin' round so lively that ev'ry time I throwed the noose at his head it come within 'bout a yard of the mark. I tried this game half a dozen times, an' then he got as mad as Satan an' went fur mo. He tore one of my pockets out an'come mighty near strikin'me in the face. I had laid my gun down ou th'rock, not s'posin' I'd need to load it agin, fur I didn't want to kill the bird. Do all I could I couldn't ketdi hold o' any part of him. I was wlllin' to bo friendly, but he didn't understand me. Ho drew blood on my hands an' struck at me to kill. I got out o' his way, but he follored me up fur ten or fifteen rod, when I picked up a dry stick an' hit. him over the wings an' back. The blow broke the stick, but it didn't make him wince a bit. He was a mighty strong bird, an' I see that he was bound to git the best of me unless I done somethin' to cool him down. But I couldn't git him to understand how I felt towards him. He jumped at me agin an'tore out. nuther pocket, an1 then I turned an' run. But he was after me, an' made as good time as I did, an' struck me in the back. I was most out o' breath, an' I couldn't stand such work much longer. I see I had to kill the poor feller, an' so I pulled out my revolver an' put a bullet into his breast. I hated to do it, though. Ho measured more'n six foot from one wing's end to th' other." Prohibitory Legislation. From the Lewiston (Me.) Journal, May 30. The twentieth annual report of the National Temperance society presents a summary of the anti-dram-shop legislation in the several states during the past year, which shows that the march of public sentiment against the grog shop, though weakened by various temporary causes the past six months, yet moves steadfastly onward. The five states which have general prohibitory laws, viz., Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Iowa and Kansas have added important additional penalties. The state of Maine has adopted by a popular vote oi three to one a prohibitory constitutional amendment. The legislatures of Rhode Island, Tennessee and Oregon passed either finally or through the preliminary stages resolutions submitting prohibitory constitutional amendments to the people. Similar resolutions were considered and defeated by only small majorities iu Missouri, Michigan, Texas, West Virginia and New Jersey. Maine, Massachusetts. Pennsylvania, Alabama, Illinois Wisconsin, Missouri, Kansas, Jfebraska, Oregon and Nevada passed laws making it imperative to instruct pupils in public schools as to the effect of alcoholic stimulants upon the human system. The Massachusetts legislature passed a bill to secure the better enforcement of the restrictive features of the laws in cities which vote for license. The New Jersey, legislature increased the license fee, but Gov. Abbott vetoed the bill. The Georgia legislature discussed a local option law, which proposed to allow all the counties in the state to decide whether they would prohibit or license dram shops, which will soon pass. In the meantime 104 of the 150 counties ot Geori gia have within a few years adopted prohibition under special enabling acts. The legislatures of Alabama, Mississippi and Texas passed acts to enable several counties to prohibit dram shops within their borders by a popular vote. The Oregon legislature passed a local option law. The Ohio legislature attempted to submit a license amendment to the people, but it was lost in the house?tit) to 37?not the necessary two-thirds. The Ohio legislature repealed the local option law one year ago. Not a single retrograde step has been taken in j any state in legislation on the subject the past i year, though in several states desperate efforts were made by the liquor interest. At present five states have general laws prohibiting dram shops and twenty have local option laws permitting tlie legal voters of the inunicipalitles or counties to vote on the question of prohibition or license of the dram shop or authorizing particular counties to do this. I By united efforts of the friends ol prohibition of all parties, all of Maine, Now Hampshire, i Vermont, Iowa and Kansas, three-fourths of Georgia, one-third of Alabama, nearly half of Maryland and Mississippi, considerable portions ol' Louisiana. South Carolina, Tennessee and Arkansas, half of the area of Missouri, twelve counties of Illinois, half of Massachusetts, and many towns in New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island, North Carolina, Michigan, and many other states have prohibited the dram shop. The agitation of general prohibitory laws is going On in most of the states of the Union. Sam Patch's Last Leap. A correspondent of the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette, who describes himself as an eye-witness of Sam Patch's last two jumps, writes as follows: "Sam Patch, the famous cataract leaper, who asserted that 'some things could be doue as well as others,'took his 'Final, eternal and life's fatal leap,' jus a local poet expressed it at the time, on a gloomy day in November, in the year 1829. He had 'jumped'the Genesee Falls at Rochester, their natural height, one week before, and was induced by the gamblers and roughs who were grooming and managing and living off him to repeat tho feat on the fatal occasion. They erected a sort of scaffold on the jutting rock whence he had taken his departure on the previous occasion, making it '25 feet above the rock, or 120 feet iu all from the scaffold floor to the surface of the river at the foot of the falls. Ascending to the scaffold with some difficulty, considerably inebriated, and by asleep ladder, the unfortunate demonstrator straightened up with a jerk, bowed awkwardly on ail sides to the witnessing thousands, then pnshed a pet bear off ho had with him, and instantlv leaped forward himself. His person 'canted over' on the left side, and struck the water forcibly, no doubt bfuising him ana forcing the breath from his body. Nothing more was seen of him till the next March, wlien liiscorpse was discovered among some bushes at the mouth of the river, seven miles below, very much mutilated, but recognizable by a handkerchief tied around the body. Patch, beginning on the schooner yard-varms at Patersou, N. J., was a special leaner for '20 years or more, jumped from amazing heights at Niagara thrice before he tried the Genesee rapids, and challenged the inspection of admiring thousands to the realities of his feats. If yet living ho would be about 90 years of ago, but who knows if lie had not tackled John Alcohol, his bear, and a great leap at one and the same time ho might not be jumping yet?" Brother Cleveland Warned. From the St. Louis Globe Democrat. Carter Harrison, the Indomitable mayor of Chicago, wrote his name and that or his wife in the register of the Southern yesterday. "I am on my way to Hot Springs," said he last evening, "not for the purpose of taking my wife there, as reported, but to see if I can't cure these hands of mine." The invincible held out his two hands a moment, and, looking at the I broken flesh thereon, said: "My hands are sore. I don't know what's the matter with them." "How was it you were not elected Senator from Illinois." "Because they elected a republican in the thirty-fourth district." "\V ho do you put the blame of Weaver's election ou?" "Everybody knows where the blame rests." "How does Cleveland strike you from a Chicago point of view." "He hasn't done enough yet. He has, however, recognized one branch of the party there. If he does as much for the other, everything will be lovely." "And if he doesn't?" "Then you can look out for squalls."

Toads as Roach Exterminators. From the New York Sun. A house at Schenectady was for a long time infested by roaches and water bugs. Last fall a servant, hearing that toads were an antidote, caught three ordinary hop toads and put them in the kitchen. Not a roach or water bug can now be found in the house. The toads have become domesticated, never wander about the house, and are so cleanly and inoffensive that there is no objection to their presence. Condemn His Negligence, But Ooxmend His Bravery.?Coroner CarriCk's verdict on the bodies of the victims of the 6th street fire, in Cincinnati, places the responsibility for the disaster on the firm of Sullivan Co., who occupied the fourth and fifth floors. Had a suitable ladder been on the fifth floor the girls could have escaped. One of the firm of Hullivan St Co. was killed after saving three girls, and the coroner, after condemning his negligence, commends his bravery. 1 *r Jfewi About George Wnshlnfton. ancient rkcords of fairfax?the father of his country presented by the grand jury. From the New York Son. Fairfax Courthouse, Vam May 29.?The courthouse structure here was built at th? beginning of the century, while the Jail was finished only last summer. A few weeks ago I was told by the shcrifl that but one person had been locked up In its comfortable cells since the Jail was completed, and he had remained only for a few horn's. This speaks well for the present state of morals in Fairfax county. Some people attribute it to the fact that no liquor is sold iu the township wherein the courthouse Is situated. The ancient records ot court proceedings in.the county, which I have taken preat interest in overhauling, show that iunoccnce and temjHjrance did not always prevail here; and they contain many curious entries, written out in a splendid round hand, with ink that is as black al ter 1years as if spread on the page last week or yesterday. Among other matters cominj under the juris; diction of the gentlemen justices, who presided over the county court was the schedule of charges to Ik? made by innkeepers. Here are some of the rates that were established ou March 20, 1755: Shillings. Pcnce. A gallon of rum 8 A gallon of Virginia peach brandy..0 A gallon of New England ruin 2 ti j A quart of London beer, called porter 1 i Virginia strong beer A gill of rum made into punch,with i loaf sua:ar, 6d.; with fruit TV, Ditto; with brown sugar 41.] j For a hot diet, with small beer or I cyder 1 _ j For a cold diet 6 For a night's lodging, with clean sheets 6 Otherwise nothing. It would be well if the condition in the last item of the schedule could be enforced nowa! days in country taverns. On Nov. 21. 1754, i the grand jury presented John Oockrell. of Truro parish, "for not attending his parish j church within two months last past, to the knowledge of two of us." James Robertson, of Truro, was presented "for marrying the reported granddaughter ot his former wife to the knowl| edge of two of us." Then this remarkable entry is found. "We present the surveyor of the road from Accotink to Dogue Run on the back road f'?r i not. being iu order agreeably to the Act of As- j sembly in that, case made and provided by ini formation of John Reardon and William Liu- ton." The presentment is copied literally, and you can draw your own inference as to whether the surveyor or the road was out of order agreeably j to Act of Assembly. I Worse than all, these records show indisputa: bly that "George Washington of Mount Ver\ non" was also presented by the grand jury of Fairfax county for not keeping his roads in ori der. This part of tlie record of the immortal Washington has been overlooked 1 ?y historians, i and it is with extreme reluctance that I publish iy to the world. The discovery was made a little while before the dedication of tlie tall monument, but it has been withheld until now tor reasons that will occur to every patriot. Whether the charge was true or false^ it seems to have been 'hushed up. for I have found no record ot further proceedings against George Washington of Mount Vernon. Nevertheless, whether lie was punished or escaped, the lact remains that the Father of his Country was actually presented by the grand jury for an offense against the we.1-belng aud order ol the community in which he lived.

Effect of Fright on the Mind. remarkaule actions of the crowd during the earthquake at ischia. From the New York Sun. An interesting account of the mental states induced by fright was given some time since by Dr. Fazio, who was an eye-witness of the great earthquake at Ischia. lie says the emotions awakened by the catastrophe Mere of the most varied character. During the fifteen seconds that the shock continued everybody stood still, seemingly rooted to the ground with terror. Men were weak in the knees and shook as with ague, leeiiug as though they were about to fall. Soon this stillness was broken by loud cries and howls, and every one rushed toward the shore. Then women and children fell into convulsions or appeared to be semi-paralyzed aud speechless. Rudeness and brutality were mingled witn self-sacrifice and heroism of the most exalted character. .si x hours after the catastrophe the stillness of 1 1 death reigned over (Jasamicciola. Men wan- i dered about the ruins halt clad and silent, as if risen from the grave: women were excited and i hysterical; children of eight or ten years seemed j dazed and stupefied, while smaller children stood around unconcernedly, eating whatever attractive food they could find in the ruins. It was most interesting to see the different ways in which individuals were affected by the shock. The keeper of a refreshment booth, who had lost everything, kept offering his delicacies to j those who passed by, just as though his whole stock had not been swept away in the debris caused by tlie earthquake. A surgeon, covered I with blood and sorely wounded by the failing beams, was concerned only for his instruments, and inquired after them of everybody whom he encountered. An hysterical woman. Who had been bedridden for months, jumped up and saved herself by flight, and remained permanently cured. A very considerable number of instances ot this kind are well authenticated, and the reports seem to show that j diseases not generally classed as nervous, and, i at all events, not wholly nervous in character, j often disappear under influences of a strong emotional character. Many persons at Ischia, Wiio were brave and full of energy immediately i after the first shock of the earthquake, became depressed, or wholly apathetic, later iu the day, or had convulsions, or alternate fits of laughter and crying. Sometimes an attack of melancholia was induced which continued for months and many people became incurably insane. These were, perhaps, jKrsons having t lie insane temperament, though the actual manifestation of it might never liave taken place except under t lie influence of great nervous shock. In many instances there was an aversion for food, lasting for hours after the catastrophe. There were several instances in which the hair was whitened by fright, and even some boys of 10 to 14 years showed heads spriukied with gray. Many of the unfortunates who were buried in the ruins exhibited the greatest indifference to their fate, following listlessly with their eyes the motions of those busied witli their rescue. Those whose occupations had led them to acquire a habit of coolness in danger seemed to retain their imperturbability. A foreign oilicer, whose legs were imprisoned under some heavy timbers, drew out a cigarette and smoked it with the utmost nonchalance. One man, as soon as he was pulied from the ruins, shook his rescuer by the hand and presented him with his card. Another, who lay iu tlie debris lor twenty hours, immediately looked at his watch iu order to ascertain the exact moment ot his deliverance. A lady who had just been extricated from a mass of rubbish would not budge from the spot until she could ascertain the fate of her pet dog, which was buried with her. One woman, who was nearly covered up in the debris, heard a man calling loudly for his daughter. She attracted liis attention to her, and succeeded in making him believe that she was liis lost child. So cunningly did she practise this deception that the old gentleman had rescued her from the ruins before the trick was discovered. Most of the people, however, who were Imprisoned beneath t lie ruins were too indifferent to their fate to make any attempt to get free through stratagem. It is a curious fact that most of them had become regardless of the flight of time, and had not the faintest idea as to how long they had remained buried. In very many cases those who had been wounded by falling buildings were obliged to undergo severe surgical operations. Most of them experienced no pain while under the knife, though they were manifestly in a condition of excessive sensibility to most of the impressions of ordinary life. Yankee Notions in London. The favorite features of the World's Exposition of Inventions in London has proved to be the American machines for making watches and for ironing collars and cutis. Both are novelties in England, and are Inscrutable and fascinating mysteries to the visitors. The attractive young women who preside over the sublimized washtubs and ironing-boards of the American laundry company have swams of admirers, and crowds surround the watchmaking machinery from morning until night. Among the crowds are many British watchmakers, who scrutinize tlie complex and dainty processes with spellbound interest, and return to their posts day after day trying to penetrate the secrets of the seemingly 'human intelligence of the glittering little machines. Why Me i'lcllau way for the (Jnion. General George B. McClellan, in his address at Antietam on Decoratiou day, after alluding to the last time he had seen the field of Antietam, that is, on the day of the battle, said: "I and my fellow-democrats of the north fought for the Union because we believed that it eontalucd within itself the power of Insuring all possible good tilings to this people and of securing us against unnumbered evils and chiefly because we believed that we could see the hand of God guiding our fathers in the creation of a nation destined to become the greatest of which history bears record. I believed and still believe that it is imuossible for two governments to exist in this land of ours without soon coming into collision on some secondary question, and that it is better to fight at once for the main issue." The "Plunger"'?(*ued for a Suit. From the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, May 23. H. A. Schmidt against F. T. Walton was the unassuming title of a suit docketed in Justice Tauffe's court yesterday. The plaintiff is a tailor doing business under the Southern hotel, and the defendant the gentleman who is known by the sobriquet of "Plunger," who was spoken of as the probable purchaser of the Lindell hotel, gas works, and other trifles, yet whose trunks were levied upon by two deputy constables for the paltry alleged debt of $69. It seems that Mr. Schmidt recently made a snit of clothes for Mr. Walton, and the latter refused to take them when finished, claiming that they did not fit. As Mr. Walton was a non-resident Mr. Schmidt proceeded against him by attaching his trunks. Patrick Daly and another -deputy served the writ yesterday at the Southern hotel, and Mr. Walton was disposed to be fractious at first, Ibnt he finally had the Southern hotel people go on his bond, securing them by a certified cbAftk.

THE EVENING STAR WASHINGTON: WEDNESDAY June S, 1S?5. RONBY H. SOYES Editor. Thr Krrnin? Star fan? a regular, prrmanrnt bona fide daily circulation more iban treble that of any other daily paper published in \Va*biB?toa, and equal to that of all the other daily paper* here added together. Having failed to Induce the Sultan to assume ?ontrol over Egypt. the English government now proposes to Italy that she shall occupy the Boudan on the withdrawal of the British force*. Not long ago this proposition would have been readily accepted, for, with a war between Ensland and Russia, Italy, bv firmly establishing herself In the land of the Khedive, would have been enabled to carry out her policy of colonisation in conformity with the examples of other European governments. Italy has made rapid strides within the past twenty years, and she is naturally ambitious now to become recoguized as a great power. Her occupation of Massowah showed that she wished to expand her influence and have a standing and recognition by possessing colonial tributaries. She has found, however, that the climate of the Red sea littoral is not favorable for European colonization, aud it is, therefore, not certain that she will now accept the legacy of the Soudan. It will probably depend npon the inducements held out by Englahd. An alliance, offensive and defensive, between Italy and England can hardly be agreeable to the former power, for the peace promised between England and Russia will be of such uncertain duration that Italy will want to keep herself free to act for her own best advantage in the event of a definite rupture between those two great powers. She Is certainly now in good standing, so far as her domestic administration is concerned. Her funds are at 98, her internal affairs are satisfactory, her army, while not large, is In good condition, aud her navy Is probably unsurpassed In Mediterranean waters..There is no doubt that she has for sometime been hoping to obtain a foothold in Egypt; but now that the opportunity has come to her she will likely consider carefully the terms before she consents to take England's place in propping up the government of the Khedive. Hardly an ocean steamer reaches New York from Europe that does not report a thrilling experience with icebergs, which appear to be unusually plentiful and large this year. Most of the vessels record a very narrow miss, and occasionally a slight collision is acknowledged, when the shock has been so great as to arouse and alarm passengers. Considering the dangers from this cause, It is strange that masters of the Cast steamers crossing the Atlantic do not go far enough south to avoid the immense masses of Ice which are known to be released from the arctic regions at this season. This, however, they do not seem willing to do, and some of them, it is said, run at full speed or very nearly at the highest rate, while crossing fields that are hardly ever free from peril, preferring to make a quick passage for record, no matter how great the risk to life and property may be. By and by a vsssel will be lost from this cause, with all on board, and then there will be a great outcry against such criminal recklessness; but, as usual, it will be too late. The way to stop the dangerous practice Is to indict in advance the officers of a vessel against whom a clear case of fast running through the ice fields can be established. One would think a vigilant and faithful district attorney might be able, if so disposed, to find a law that will meet the case. Laws intended to prevent murder ought to be enforced, as well as those providing for punishment after a crime hits been committed. Secretary Manning Is said to be in favor of improving the appearance of the paper currency of the country. There is undoubtedly room for Improvement in that direction, but the point to which those in authority should give their attention is our metal coinage. Artistically considered, it will not compare favorably with that of any other country making pretensions to taste, while some of the devices?that representing the eagle on the new silver dollar, for example,?are just about as bad a3 can well be conceived. Another point needing official action is that of issuing a uniform token to represent the same value. The present variety of coins standing for one, three and five cents, respectively, is annoying to nearly every one not accustomed to handling money, and confusing to many,particularly to strangers in the country. The odd pieces should be gathered in and melted up as speedily as possible, and a single device adopted for each value. Now that Mr. J. W. Drew has, to the great satisfaction of a large circle of friends, been acquitted of the charge of presenting false vouchers to the Navy department, it will be well lor its officers and those of the government generally to guard in future against the slipshod and irregular methods which seem to have characterised the business transactions of the bureau of medicine and surgery, under its late head, at least. But for gross carelessness or rascality in official position frauds against the government are hardly possible, and by the machinations of dishonest subordinates the reputation of the most honorable persons doing business with government is liable to be damaged. New York Is excited over the charge that a state senator wanted to be paid for his vote upon a bill to establish a college of physicians and surgeons. The allegation is made by a reputable physician, who makes oath to his statements. The senator emphatically denies that he ever asked lor money, and at present the matter seems to resolve Itself Into a question of veracity between the two. It is not likely to end here, however. Whether it is because patriotism is on the Increase in the country, or because the fact represents a growing demand for more holidays, it Is certain that Decoration Day is becoming more generally observed each year. In either case the sign is a healthy one. The human system, like delicate machinery, will soon wear out when driven at the high rate at which the American people usually rash their business affairs, unless granted respite occasionally. More holidays are therefore not only popular iu themselves, but really beneficial- in a sanitary and economid point of view. The strike of the western Iron workers Is being followed by similar demonstrations in other parts of the country. Already the freight hands of the Kentucky Central railroad have struck; the miners in the Tennessee coal mines have stopped work, and Italian laborers and shoemakers in Massachusetts have quit on account of Insufficient wages. It is not impossible that there may be serious labor troubles before the summer is over. Sir Peter Lumsden does not believe that the expected peace between England and Russia will be of long duration. Sir Peter, having been snubbed by his own government, is not likely to look with favor upon the concessions made to the Czar a demands in the agreement which appears u> be ready for ratification, but his assertion that the difficulty between the two nations has only been "temporarily smoothed over" is probably correct. The appointment of George W. Julian, who is styled a "variegated political fossil from Indiana,' to be surveyor general of New Mexico, is being severely criticised as not in accordance with either the party platform or President Cleveland's own assertions that territorial appointment* should be given to actual residents of the territories. The mysterious murderof the druggist Hands, In New York, still continues to puzzle the police and the detectives. A former associate has been arrested, but he seems to'establish bis innocence of the crime, and now the authorities are hunting for a man who turned up as a half brother, but who has since disappeared. i The annual examination of the cadets at West Point has commenced, and so far the young gentlemen exhibit commendable proficiency. The graduating class will, it is said, compare favorably in every respect with those of former years. It is satisfactory to know that Judge Snell has set down upon the flower thieves, two of them having been fined yesterday. Let him continue In this direction, and householders will be encouraged to beautify their grounds by planting flowers. Gen. Middleton says he means business in his pursuit of Big Bear, but the wily red akin doesn t mean he shall catch him napping, as was shown in the recent engagement, when the government troops failed to score a victory. The daily decamping of a bank official Is announced. This time it is a paying teller of the New York Manhattan Bank, and his defalcation amounts to over $160,000. The sad death of ex.Auditor Reynolds is deeply deplored in this city, where he was well kaown and had many Mends. Our Sales Hay. 13 een Away behind tor the month of May.

SHUSTER eriods Of Liquidation Have less interval than formerly. Twenty years was once the liquidating period, then ten years, now five, with a probable shorter interval In the future. The time following is the era of expansion and anticipation, but when the settling period arrives, contraction j sets in from every source. 1 We seem now to be in the cycle of liquidation, con- sequeutly everybody wishes to sell, and when that is the case prices are way down. t No matter how meritorious the commercial articles, 1 none are exempt from this rule, aud In consonance therewith 1 am now offering SUPERIOR GARMENTS for gentlemen's wear, whether over or under, for very t LOW PRICES. Another thing in the same connection: Low prices and cash are convertible terms. j Houses that buy and sell for cash have exceeding 1 advantage over houses that buy and sell on credit, and the latter are being constantly eliminated by the pro- cess of natural selection.

All we promise is to ell you the finest clothing ever sold in Washington and to give it to you at exactly ten per cent above cost.

ix a Brctxi\u mini:. Three Hnndred English Jliners In Danger of a Terrible Di>atli. London, Jure 3.?A dispatch received here this afternoon from Durham, says that fire broke out in the Philadelph'a colliery, situated near that city, at noon to-day. Three hundred miners are in the pit, and all attempts so far to subdue tin* flames or render assistance to the imprisoned men have failed. Great excitement j exists, and it is feared thai the majority of tiie J entombed miners will perislu A large loree of men is at work at the colliery trying to rescue j them. 3 p. m.?A Durham dispatch just received states that the colliery on tire is the property of the Earl of Durham, and Is known as the "Margaret Pit." The excitement in the neighbor- bood of the burning colliery increases niouieu- tarily The relatives of the imperiled miners crowd around the mouth of the pit, weeping i and wailing In a most heartrending manner. only twenty-two men lost. 5 p. m.?A later dispatch says: All but twen- t ty -two of the miners have since been rescued, I and tho^e missing are supposed to lmve been killed.

I 1 Alexandria, Va., June 3.?The mayor tried, i at noon to-day, tiie case of Pietro Lene, or Leone, a Corsican, charged with outrage on Malvlna Robey, a white girl about 11 years of age. Pietro came here from Washington about two years ago and sold oranges, bananas, etc., in market. A few months ago he opened a fruit store on Royal street, near the market. He boarded in Market alley with Mrs. Robey, j whose son is engaged as a waterman on the Potomac, and whose grand-daughter Malvlna lived in the house. Some boys gave in form a- tion of the crime, and Pietro was arrested. The crowd which gathered was so great that the trial was adjourned from the mayor's office to the court house. The trial continued until the afternoon, and the accused will be sent on to I the grand jury. There were many threats of lynching, but it is likely that the law will be allowed to take its course. 1 Shot IIim*elf This Morning. i Special Dispatch to The Evening star. 1 I Ai.exandria, Va., June 3.?Capt.

The order was obeyed. The Desecration of the Pantheon. m. gobi.et sends a spirited reply to the protest of archbishop gl'ibert. Paris, June 3.?M. Goblet, minister of public instruction, has published a reply to the pro test of Archbishop Guibert against the "desecration" of the Pantheon by Its preparation for the reception of the body of Victor Hugo. M. Goblet says that the archbishop exceeds the rights of his episcopacy in the feeling he has exhibited at the determina- tion of the government to restore the Pantheon to its original purpose?a receptacle for the re- mains of the really great men of France. j M. Goblet also points out that the religious j functions of the archbishop are at variance with his duties as a citizen toward the govern- ment, "You are not authorized," says M. Gob- 1 let," by any prerogative of your office to discuss the acts of the government.'' M M. Goblet, in conclusion, reminds the arch- j bishop that his present attitude is not likely to render more harmonious than they now are the relations of church and state. Gen. Grant to Drive No More.

He tbouzht it was rather better stone than he had seeu used generally. The workmanship on the terrace he pronounced fair. He had not observed any marked defects In the work until they were pointed out to him. The stone used, he said, was better, in his opinion, than the Lee marble in the wings of the Capitol. The Lee marble alter exposure to the weather became covered with little holes, as though some one had tired at It with a shot gun. The statement that the new terrace wall was crumbling to its fall, he said, was all nonsense. On crass-examination Mr. McGowan said a paper setting forth that the terrace was a good job had been brought to him to sign after this investigation was started, but he had refused to sisjn it because he had not inspected the work. He did not know but that he would sign it now, although he did not like to sisrn any papers. Both tlie material and the workmanship, he said, might have been bet ter if more money had been given lor it. "The trouble with the government," said Mr. McGowan, "is that they have got a lot of shoemakers up there to ttn-1 out the value of such work, and appropriate about half enough to pay for it." "Up where?" asked sir. Jackson. "On the hill," said Mr. McGowan, motioning with his thumb towards tlie Canifbl. "You mean our Solons," said Mr. Jackson. "Our Solons," said Mr. McGowan, adopting the phrase. Mr. McGowan said he meant by the term "shoemakers" only that they were men unacquainted with the requirements or cost of good stone work. He said he would have asked for more money if he were architect of tiie Capitol. The marble might have been better in color if selected stock had been Purchased, but that would have cost as much as tallan marble and would not, he thought, be any more durable than that used. If it was expected that the structure should be perfectly white it could not be built of either Beaverdath or Lee marble. The specifications and contracts were here read showing that the specifications called for the marble lrom the Baltimore county quarries "of eveu color, with no prominent veins." There was considerable discussion as to the meaning of even color, and whether it meant a perfect blank white or not. The witness said that under the contract he would have furnished no better stone. He described a defect which had been pointed out to him, known in stonecutters' parlanco as a "dutchman"?a patch put into the work?which he considered a somewhat serious defect. At another point he had found a "dry" or crack, which he said he would not have passed if he had been a sworn government inspector, but often such detects could not be detected until several months'exposure to the weather brought them out. The witness repeated that the Job was a fair one for the money. Mr. Miller putin evidence reports from Col. Casey's office, made at the time work was about to be resumed on the Washington monument, showing that, under crushing tests, the Beaverdam marble proved stronger thau any of the other marbles tested. Mr. Jackson said he did not question the strength or durability of the best quality of Beavcrdam marble. He attacked only the marble purchased for this work 011 the terrace. ARCHITECT XVAI.TER A WITNESS. When the Clark investigation was resumed to-day Mr. Thomas U. Walter, of Philadelphia, architect of the wings of the Capitol, testified for Mr. Clark. He spoke in approval of the work, saying that it was as good as marble work could be expected to be. In relation to "dries" he said tiiey appeared in the best marble in the world, even in Carrara marble. When the Capitol wings were built he had every stone tested with the view of detecu lug "dries," but notwithstanding this care "dries" did appear in the building. Such defects could be found in any building in the world. As to the Capitol terrace, he said that if it were his duty to pass upon it for the government he would most assuredly accept it. He thought it quite equal to the work done under his supervision in the wings of the Capitol. A portion of the charges agaiust Mr. Clark were then read by Mr. Miller to Mr. Walters In relation to the charges accusing Mr. Clark of failure to perioral his professional duty well in constructing the Patent office building, and. among other things, nutting on a wooden rool or superstructure, which made possible, if it did not invite, the Ore at the Patent office. Mr. Walter said he supervised the building of the Patent Office, the only part not completed when he left being the north portico. "Mr. Clark," said Mr. Walter, "is not responsible. I was the superintendent ?of the Patent office, and hold myself responsible. Mr. Clark was my assistant." In relation to the fire, Mr. Walter read a newspaper report of a meeting of the American institute of architects at which Mr. Smlthmeyer submitted a paper from Mr. Van Stamp, a civil engineer, criticising the architect of the Patent Office as being responsible for damage by the Are. The report contained also Mr. Walter's reply, showing that the persons who made a Junk shop of the top of the house were responsible. "If you go through this building now," said Mr. Miller, "you will find stacks on stacks of papers that would set fire to any building in the world." Mr. Walter said in relation to the charge of bad workmanship and material in the west approach of the south wing that Mr. Clark had nothing to do with that, tne work having been done under the supervision of the witness. On cross-examination the witness said he was SI years old. During the cross-examination Mr. Jackson laid stress on the fact that Mr. Clark had never served an apprenticeship as a stone or marble cutter. Mr. Walter said the architect would gain ten times as much practical knowledge of stone work than tne man who merely cut the stone. Killed His Stepfather. the trial ok alfred collins. To-day, in the Criminal Court, Alfred Collins, a young colored man, '21 years old, was placed on trial on an indictment charging him with manslaughter in causing the death of his stepfather, Alexander Betters, on the 27th of April last, near Giesboro. The first witness was Mary J. Betters, who testified that Alfred was her son, and his father being a man named Williams she named him Williams; that Betters was asleep when Alfred came home and they got in an altercation, her husband ordering Alfred to leave the house; that Alfred seized a piece of plank about six feet long and struck Betters on the side of the head, knocking him senseless. Witness then hollered and Alfred told her to stop, and, after singing a song, left. On cross-examination witness said that Betters told Alfred not to fuss in the house; he was cursing and swearing; did not see Betters strike Alfred. Other witnesses (including the sister of the prisoner) testified that Alfred said he had been shot in Alexandria and asked for turpentine; erot to swearing and Betters and his wife put Iiim out, when Alfred seized a piece of plank and struck him. Collins took the stand In his own behalf and testified that his stepfather had frequently fussed with him aud driven him from home; that when he was put out his father fell on him, and when ho used the plank bis father was stooping and he thought that he was picking up something. This closed the testimony. A verdict of guilty was rendered. Notice of motion in arrest of Judgment was given. Fined for Assaulting Women.?William Laugster, a colored man, whom Lucy Addison said chased her with a knife, was fined $5 by Judge Snell to-day. Alfred Robinson, colored, who slapped Gcorgiana Robinson in the mouth, also paid $5. o Property Sales.?Matthew W. Gait has sold to John L.

The coroner's Jury rendered a verdict of suicide in the case of ex-Auditor Reynolds, who was killed by falling down an air shaft in the Southern hotel at St. Louis yesterday, as stated In The Star. His friends, however, are tirm in the belief that his death was accidental. Lieut Reynolds, accompanied by his mother. left V\ ashington hist evening to meet the remains at Terre Haute, Ind. The District Commissioners state that thev do not think that the death of Mr. Revuold's was from suicide, but from aecident. He* was at the office of the District Commissioners just prior to starting for the west, and was never in a more joyous frame of mind at his prospect of settling in that country and engaging in employments suited to his taste, lie siioke of disposing of some laud owned bv him in Kansas or Nebraska, and also spoke about herdin" cattle on some portion of his estate there! i Here appears to have been no reason for such an act as suicide. He wsis a remarkably clearheaded man.

It begins now to look as If something will be done to improve the water supply of this city, though it will take some weeks yet before the work will be actually beguu. There is no telling when it will be completed. The pollution of the water supply to this city is caused by a leak from the can al to the river. Just before the place where it is dammed up and where the city revives its supply. Probably $200 would make all the repairs that are needed. For three weeks the District Commissioners, the army engineers in charge of the water works, the heal lit department and the cunal authorities have been debating the question as to who should make the repairs. These Investigations and debates have already cost ten times as much money as would have been required in tiie first place to make the repairs. In the meantime the pollution has been'constantly going on, notwithstanding the protests of those who have to drink the water. How to Tell a Mugwump at Right. Wash. Cor.

Those who wish to see the benefits of univer slty education extended to women have evcryreason to be satisfied with the rapidly increasing success of the ladles colleges at Cambridge and Oxford. Since the first establishment of Newnhain and Girton colleges the governing body of each ol these Institutions has had constantly to face the difficulty of providing ao> comodation for a rapidly increasing influx of students. At Newnhain there are uow rather more than one huudred students?forty ^n the South hall, presided over by Miss Clough, aud fifty-one in the North hall, the head of which Is Miss lielen Gludstone, besides alKHit a dozen "out-students' who are residing with their relatives in Cambridge. These numbers will very soon be considerably increased. The number of vacancies expected at the end the academical year Is twenty-five, and there are already forty applications lor entrance i the ensuing term. The experience ot previous years leads the authorities of the college to anticipate mat the number of applications for entrance will at least be double the number of expectcd vacaucies at the beginning of the Michaelmas term. At the council meeting on Saturday last it was therefore resolved that auoihef house must be engaged and prepared lor the rv ceptiou of students in October next. This rapid development is the more satlsiaetory because it does not imply rivalry with similar institutions. All the colleges are flourishing, Glrtor college has lately added a new wing., and tb< additional rooms thus provided were intuit* diately occupied. The Oxford colleges art making up for lost time, and in a few years It may be expected that Somervllle will be equal in numbers to Girton and Nevrnbam. Lady Margarets college, at Oxford, which wa? started on a strictly denominational basts, hai not developed so rapidly as the other three; bul Somerville, like Newuham. has been obliged to hire a house from next October for the tern porary accommodation of the largely Increased entry of its students, and at a meeting summoned by invitation at the house of Lord Aberdare to-day a special appeal will be made to those who wish well to the higher education of women to provide funds to enable Somervllle hall to erect a new building. The Eresent ball, which is presided over bv Miss efevre. sister of the Postmaster General, baa its complement ol twenty-four students, and it is pi oposed if possible to obtain funds for the building of a second hall, to be under the care of a vice principal, for the accommodation of thirtv-flvc students. Considering that the admUion ol women students to the Tripos examinations at Cambridge was only sanctioned by the university in February, 1881, and that a somewhat similar concession was made by the university of Oxford so recently as April, 1884. the progress that has been made is higblv satisfactory. It encourages the hope that it will not be long before the ancient universities will follow the example of their younger sister of London, and admit women, not onfv to theif examinations, but also to their degrees. The Mew British' Beaaty. London Letter to the San Francisco Argonaut. There are some people in England who arc considerably amused Just at present at the notoriety and fame as a beauty which Mrs. Horace Helyar appears to be achieving at Washington, where her husband is attached to the British legation. I have seen several articles about her in American papers, which, I confess, surprised me a good deal. In England, be it known?as, I dare say, it pretty well is?Unit from the samples which traveling Englishmen have seen in America, and from those who come to Europe every summer, the exceptional beauty of American girls is an established fact. That a person of Mrs. Helyar's most slender claims to personal comeliness should so shine among them as to be considered beauty is therefore decidedly puxxiing. Mrs, Helyar bails from Brighton, where, as Mis) Violet Wedderbvrne, she lived with her father for many years. Now, Brighton is a place where a beauty will soon become known as such if she has any right to be considered so. It Is a gay. lashionable watering place, and girls with good looks come up to the surface without falL Yet I'll back you wont find any Brightonian, resident or winter habitue when the season Is ou there, who ever heard of M iss Wedderbvrne as a beauty. The most that oouid be said'of her Is that she was "a nice, cherry-faced, shinyskinned girl, with no features to speak of, but lots to say for herself." This Is how I heard a man describe her from recollection this afternoon. I don't say this in any spirit of ill nature. I detest humbug of any sort, and I simply want the Argonaut to know what a piece of absurdity Is the way the American papers are going on about this "new English beauty." she was married to Mr. Helyar about eight years ago. He was then a clerk In the foreign oifice, with "expectations" which have grown into realities In the shape of a fine estate and ten thousand a year.

NOTIONS OF MAXBLER9. (|accr Fanrin of leu Who Live onSopeniitlon. From the Boston Globe. "You may believe in luck or you may not believe In it," sai?f a well-known sporting man. "You may not think there is anything in superstitiou.or you may,but I tell you there's a heap in It, and there is not a gambler in this town who has not his pet superstition, and governs himself accordingly. Why, look here; the other day I found a black kitten on the sidewalk near my house. It wanted to be familiar with me, and I picked it up, carried it into the house and gave it a feed. That day I came down town and made a big win against the bank,and have been winning ever since. What d'ye call that?" "It was certainly a coincidence," said the crlbe. "Coincidence? Well, it was a blank sight more than that, and me and that cat are friends from this time out, I gave my wife a new dress and a couple of hundred 'cases' and told her to put a collar on that cat, and let no blamed rooster get it away from her. I wouldn't take a hundred for that cat of no man's money. There's Jeff Hankins; I s'pose you know him? Well, he had a pet mouse once. Jell was running *125, and the game against the bank was mighty big. It was getting near the end of the month, the house was nine or ten thousand loser and the bank roll was feeling pretty sick. One night Jeff was'n the lookout chair, eating an apple, and some of it fell on the tloor inside the table. Just then a mouse ran out and nibbled at the apple. The bank was losing as usual. Jeff saw the mou.-e and pitched another little piece of apple at It. It darted away and then darted back again and commenced nibbling. Jeff says to the dealer,'I'll deal.' Solio took the chair and commenced to deal lucky right away. For the first time that month the bank closed a winner. Next morning Jeff got a little cheese and he fed that mouse. And he kept a-fceding it. and every day the bank kept a-winuing. Say! what d'ye call that?" The reporter offered the suggestion that it looked like a change in luck. "Well, I should say it was. But, say! One night about 11 o'clock the mouse ran out as usual and was playing around, when some hulk of a player got his foot on it and smashed it. What d'ye think Jell'did, and only 11 o'clock at night and a mom full of players? He closed the game, lie thought nis luck was killea, and he wouldn't play any more that night." "Was his luck killed?" queried the scribe. "Well, nobody knows how it would have been that night, but of course the bank has the best of it in the long run. Guess Jeff got hold of Some other lucky thing, for he has always bad a pretty good 'roil,' but he always was in mourning for that mouse. You ask any of these fellows if they believe in such things, and they'll tell you there is nothing In it, buT they all have their signs and their lucky numbers "and their lucky clothes, and a hundred things 1 can't repeat, for all that. There's Pat Slieedy. Wasn't he sitting in bail luck one night and losing every bet he put down, when lie got up. went home, changed every rag of clothes he had on his back, then returned anu made the biggest win lie ever made in his life? No; I gues-, there's nothing in it, but they all play it as if there was, just the same. The}' are always on the lookout for something. You know, the 'coons' are great for 'policy,' and they are always dreaming numbers. Now, if a gambler can only get onto a 'coon's' dream he's fixed. Tom 'Wallis was walking down suite street one day and he passed two 'coons* very busy talking. As he ptissed he heard one say: 'I toil you honey, I dream 7, 8, twice; you go buy two gins and a saddle.' Now. Tom is a "highroller, and plays bank for all there is in It. lie turned round when he heard those number^, went up to'i?8* and played the *i>ot,' which, I s"l>osc you know,is the G, 7 ana 8, for all he .could get in it. It won for him one deal eleven times in succession, and he playing the limit. And he played it all day, and nothing else, and he played a big pile, I tell you. No, there's nothing in it. but tliey alf doit. You know 8am Dull? Sum's one of the levelest-headed fellers in the business. He's a pretty 'high roller,' too. when he plays against the bank. Huns '1*25' now and stays on the inside. Tried to beat wheat a couple of years ago and got 'busted.' Not his game. Well, Sam used to pass an old beggar woman on the corner of Market and adlson every morning. Sometimes he would ym>w a dime in her tray, sometimes a quarter, and sometimes a half dollar. He then began to notice one tiling. Whenever he throwed her a quarter he'd win against the bank. II he throwed her anything else? a half or a dollar, or anything but a quarter, he'd ,ose. Sam kept that old woman in quarters for a good while, but one day some other beggar was on the corner, and then the quarters wouldn't work. Sam inquired for his old woman and found she was dead. The other begirar never gave him any luck at all. "f know gamblers," he continued, "who will never play against certain dealers, nor if certain persons are in the room. Thev think they ho?Hloo' them, that they gave them bad luck by looking at them. They will curse some lellow for a 'hoodoo' up hill and down dale. Then there are players who, if you touch one of their chips, or put one of yours on top of theirs, think you give them bad luck, and that they will lose certain. Poker players all believe in lucky seats, and in the run o:*the cards, and in lucky dealers of cards, and so do most of bank players. They will walk around their chair three times in order to change their luck. Some men won't lend money to their most intimate friends while they are playing, because it gives their luck away. Others believe in lucky pieces of money, old coins with a certain date on them, or some mark or other. I know an old player who had a lucky sixpence. It was an English coin he had found. lie did seem to be mighty lucky for a long time. Hut one time he got broke down to his sixpence. He laid that down on a card and told the dealer he would make it eood for a quarter. The dealer knew him aud knew about his sixpence. He 'turned' aud the sixpence was swept into the till. 'You sec, Joe,' said the dealer, 'there's nothing in it.' You know If it had been such a lucky piece for Joe he ought not to have lost it. So it must have been something else that gave Joe his ruu of luck. "No gambler in his senses will pick up a crooked pin on th* street, or one lying crosswise with the way he is walking. The way to pick up a pin is to have the head turned toward you. I know some say that the point should be toward you, and I have heard that old Thad Stevens, who was a great gambler, would only pick it up with the point toward him. I've tried all ways, but pins don't seem to affect mr luck one way or the other. A four-leaf clover is a great thing to find to bring a fellow g??od luck, but they are about a* scarce as good lU'-k is generally. Most gamblers wear a watch charm or a linger ring that they build a heap on. Cy Jaynes nas a linger ring that money couldn't buy, aud he don't believe in it either, u you ask him. Still he likes to have the riag on when he is dealing. Another thine, a man will have lucky and unlucky days. I tell you, you can lecture all day and preach all night, but luck is luck and I know It. I dreamed one night that the jack won lour times in succession. Next day I went to the bank. I was broke and couldn't play, but I'll be blamed if the very first deal I looked at if the jack didn t win lour times straight." 'There must be a good many ups and downs at the game," suggested the scribe. "I ps aud downs? I believe you," said the sport. "I went down towu one day with 10 cents, and that night carried home S.'ioo. I went down the next day with the 831X1. and had to l>orrow car fare to get home. Ixui't you touch it young man; if you do you'll never regret it but once; that'll be all your life. As lor me, I ve got my cat now, and I shall try and get out." A day or two afterward the scribe met his porting Iriend again. "Say! I lost my cat day before yesterday, and last night I went broke. I am on the hunt now for a black cat."

A Toanff English l?lrl Becomes a Buddhist. From the Times of India. A novel and Imposing ceremony took place on April 5 at the Widyodya Buddhist college in Colombo, by which a young and accomplished English lady, well known in Bombay, formally became a professed follower of Lord Buddha. Not long ago a clergyman from England, the Rev. C. W. Loadbeater, took the "five precepts" in the presence of the high priest, Sumangala. This time it was Miss Mary Fly nn who accepted the faith that is now becoming fashionable among the enlightened clashes in the west. It was a curious sight to see au English young lady, dressed in an elegant robe of black silk sitting In the midst of a crowd of yellow-robed Buddhist priests and repeating the Pansil. The ceremony began by the high priest examining the fair candidate as to the reasons that led her to desire to accept Buddhism as her faith, to which Miss Flynu answered that, a;ter having studied the various religious systems of the world, she found the Buddhistic esoteric philosophy as being most In accordance with her own reason and common sense, other questions having been satisfactorily answered by her the high priest adniinist.-red to her the "five precepts.'' which Miss Flynn promised to observe. The ceremony ended by the chanting of "ltatana Sutta" by all the priests present. Besides the large number of priests, there were present at the temple where the ceremony took place many of the most prominent Buddhists of Colombo, the captain and several officers of the screw steamer Tibre, of the Mes-agerics Maritimes, and several Euroi>eau passengers that had arrived by that vessel. Powt Office Romance*. From The Itoval MalL On one occasion a gentlemanly looking person called and expressed a fear that he had inclosed two letters In wrong envelopes, and that all his pros|>ects in life depended on his having his letters back aud correcting the mistake, inasmuch as they revealed plans which he had adopted to save two mercantile houses in the same line of business, whose iuterests clashed at every point. A similar blunder occurred iu a more delicate affair, when a young lady was most urgent to have her letters returned, as she had accepted the wrong offer of marriage. The local postmaster was unable to resist her earnest entreaties, and thus prevented a painful catastrophe. But a whole romance might be written on the following incideut: A young lady, w ho had been eugaged to a prosperous young manufacturer, was informed, a few day* before the marriage was fixed for. that the firm was insolvent. Not a moment was to be lost, and a letter was written and posted, breaking the engagement; when, within two hours, it was discovered that the report was entirely unfounded. 1 lie report continues: "The daughter, with her parents, rushed to the post office, and no words can describe The scene?the ap|>eais, the tears, the wringing of hands, the united entreaties of the family to have the fatal letter restored, but alas all was vain; the rule admitted of no ex ftlnmarek's Debt to His Wife. From Temple liar. A change was shortly to come over the whole life and character of the future prince ane] chancellor. One of the neighbors with whore he lived on terms of lnt'macy was Moritz vou Blankcnburg, and in his house he made theoplc. Til.- mother was more obdurate, and ii was only when Bismarck appeared to plead hi: own cause that she granted her consent. But having yielded, she did so frankly and withoul reserve. She welcomed her future sou-in-law not only to her home, but to her heart, and he proved himself thoroughly worthy of her conti dence. lie became a real member of the fam lly, and the first serious difference which he had with tlie parents of his wife was also tlit la^t. The marriage was celebrated on ihe 28tt of July, 18-17. To understand the effect which this union had on the whole character of the future statesm u; it i, necessary to remember several things. He was at tliis time deeply disgusted with his pasi life. He had tried excess and found it weari ness; lie was tired of the monotony of dissipa tion. He had been cast hither and thither bj the waves of chance and humor, and was fully persuaded that the end of all this is vanity Wiiile vonng in body and in mind and dimij conscious that lie possessed unusual powers, hi erould find no idea. 110 aim. and no ambition that tired and satisfied his imagination. Willi religion in the true sense of tile word he had never been brought into contact until he wooed her in his bride. In his youth two sniritual in fluences had been predominant in Prussia?tin deism of Voltaire, slightly modified by that ol Leasing, and the mysticism of the romantic school. From the latter tendency his father'." house had been almost completely free, and what he saw of it in later years was not calculated to attract the keen-eyed, hard-headed open hearted vouth. But in his wife and her family he was broughl face to face with a new power. Here were men and women, leading not only blameless but active and useful lives, who had as strong a hold on the external reality of the world as anv one, and who yet were moved by motives that were not of this world, but constantly felt thev were in the presence of a Judge, ii father, 'and :i friend. In such a conviction he, too, might find a motive and an ainw lake Goethe, ho had sought consolation and strength in the ethics ol Spinoza, but. unlike the great poet, lie had not succeeded in finding them there. The thought of a personal loyalty to a personal god, on the other hand, api>ealed to the deepest impulses 01 his nature: anil the home into which he, the wild wanderer, had been received, with hesitation at first, it is true, Imt then in perfect affection and confidence, was so calm and quiet that it seemed as if the peace that pass, th understanding brooded over it; as indeed it did. Bism irek became deeply imbued with his wife's religious convictions, and he tound in them tin motive power that had hitherto been wanting in his life. This was the turning point; front henceforth lie had a purpose that filled and satisfied his whole being?to do his dutv before a living god. Doubtless, like all of us, he hafallen short of his ideal, and still more undoubtedly, in the opinion ?,t' most, lie has at times mistaken lii.s duty; but always there has been a power within him which enabled him to despise the praise of men, and to appeal to a higher standard than the phrase of the fashion of the hour. The time had now (jime when the man whose youth had been so" wild ami wayward was called to take a serious part in the*active political life of the age. But before glancing at the work as it was given him to eio, and the way in which it was done, it may be well to translate a few passages from his later letters, which show the spirit in which it was undertaken. In July. 1851, he wrote from Frankfort to his wife: "The day before yesterday I ellned with at Wiesbaden, and viewed the scenes of my former folly with sadness, anel rather premature wisdom. May it please God to fill with his own clear, ttroug wine the vessel from which the champagne of youth then uselessly frothed away, leaving nothing but flat drcis behind. Where, I wonder, are and Miss and what may be their lot? How many with whom I then flirted, drank and played, arc now in t heir graves, and through how many phases my whole conception of life has passed in these fourteen years, each of which I thought perfectly true while it lasted; how much that then appeared great now seems small to me; how much venerable that I then mocked! What new leafage may have budded, unfolded, withered and fallen away from our inner being lx?fore another 1-1 years have passed and lt>t>."> lias come, if we live to see if! I cannot understand how. a man who reflects upon himself ami who neither knows God nor desires to know him?I cannot understand how such a man can endure a life so burdened with ennui and self-con! tempt. I cannot tell how I used to bear It: if I were again obliged to live as I once did. without God without you and the children, I really do not see why I should not cast this life aside like a dirty shirt. Yet this is the life most of my acquaintances live. When I go through them singly and ask myself what reason so and so may have for living on, for bearing troubles and vexation,for intriguing and spying around, I can nud no answer. Do not conclude from this>crlbble that I am in a black mood; on the contrary, I feel as we do when looking at the yellowing leaves on a bright September dav? well and cheerful.but touched with sadness, with homesickness, with a longing for forest, lake and moorland, tor you and the children, all blended wilh the sunset and Beethoven." i Character in Hair. PROFOUND OBSERVATIONS MADE BY A LEARNED CHICAGO BARBER. From the Chicago News. "It Is a fact," said the barber, "that a better idea of character is expressed by the beard oftentimes than by the countenance. The art of reading character by the beard is taught as a science in Paris under the name of ?philograpliy,' and I understand a book is shortly to be published in which the principles of this science will be given in detail. Did you ever notice that people of very violent temper have always close-growing hair? It's a fact that every man having close-growing hair is the owner of a decided temper. It's easy enough for me to note at a glance how a man's hair grows. Then I know how to handle him. Men of *troii" temper are generally vigorous, but at the same time they are not always fixed in their opinions Now, the man with coarse hair is rooted to his prejudices. Coarse hair denotes obstinacy. It s not a good business policy to oppose a man whose hair is coarse. The eccentric man has always fine hair, and you never yet saw a man of erratic* tendencies, who at the same time had a sound mind, that was not refined in his tastes. Fine hair indicates refinement. You may have noticed that men engaged in intellectual, or especially in esthetic pursuits, where delicacy of taste is required, have invariablv fine, luxuriant hair anel beard. These same men, as a class, particularly painters, are always remarkable for their personal peculiarities. Take Oscar Wilde, for example. His hair is as fine and soft as a child's, and vou remember how much fun was made of him l>ecause he persisted in wearing knee breeches. Oscar Wilde couldn't help that, however. He had to act different from other men because his mind had an erratic bent. I went to see him when lie lectured here,Just to satisfy myself whether he was a humbug. The moment I caught sight of his hair, which, vou remember he wore down his back, I was satisfied the man was iu earnest, though very eccentric. The brilliant, sprightly fellow, who, by the wav, is almost always superficial, has generally a curly beard. If not, his hair is curly. It's" easy to bring a smile to the face of a man whose hair is curly. He laughs where colder natures see nothing to lau^li at. But that's because his mind i-. buoyant and not deep enough to penetrate the bottom ol things. "There Is a Koe?d deal of difference between coa -e hair and hair that is harsh, though it requires au expert to distinguish it. For example, a man s moustache may be of a texture as fine as silk, and yet cannot be trained to grow into a graceful curve. That's because the hair is liarsti. Now, people whose hair is harsh have ntnitibic but cold natures. Tiicy sire nlwsivs ready to listen, but it's difficult to arouse their feelings. In men of this disposition the hair on their heads is generally, in fact almost alwavs, ot a darker shade than their beards. When the beard is full, covering the entire face the color varies from a dark shade near the i roots to red, which colors the end of the hair These men have very rarely good memory! 1 hey forget easily, and otten leave a cane or an overcoat behind them in a barber shop They are great procrastinators, and are bad at keeping appointments. Think over your acquaintances and see if the man who is habituallv slow has not a moustache or beard of a lishter "shade than his hair. It's always the case. These are the men who e-orne in late at the theater and get to the depot just in time to miss the train But phi lography is a science. It takes vears of study and observation to acquire it. From lonir practice and a natural likiug for the art, I have attained considerable skill in discerning char

Marrying 11 In Sweetheart's Sister. From the San Francisco Aha. The marriage of George Flnlay, the historian of Ancient Greece and for many years correspondent ol the Ixmdou Times stt Athens, was attended by considerable romance. Finlay had become attached to a beautiftil Armenian girl at Constantinople, and, as her family would never have consented to her marriage with the young Scotchman, determined to clone with her. A yacht of an English lriend was to take the couple to Greece, and it was arranged that the young lady was to be got on board in a box prepared for tho purpose. When the eventful moment came the girl became frightened and refused to allow herself to be placed in the box Her "ister, a girl equally lovely, thought it a pity that the romantic arrangement should not be taken advantage of, entered herself the box in ulace of her si>ter. I suppose Flnlay must have been considerably surprised when the box was opened in the cabin of the yacht and not his sweetheart, but her sister was revealed dressed lu midshipman's uniform. The brother of the young lady had discovered the atfa'r md was quickly on board the yacht to demand explanation. Finlay saw only one oourse before Finn. The girl had been compromised; he would marrv her. The brother giving his consent the marriage took place at once. Mrs. Herder, ol Galllpolis, Ohio, who tried to lead a young girl of 15 astray, was taken from bed after nnanight Friday, tarred and feathered and ordered to leave town. I TIIK -ANNUAL Iiecord. t

k A PHAXTOX l.\OIXEER. P Com* Back from the tirsve to Kave a frtlB-JIm Pare'* tikost Morj. From the New York Tribunev It's only a ghost story. Jim Pace told It one dark night to a little crowd that gathered In the round-hou?e. Jim's a veteran of the rail. lie was seventy-two last week, and has palled a throttle as many times as any living man. "How he Used to make old Six walk" Is the common expression wherever Jim's name Is mentioned in a crowd. lie loved the engine better than anything in the world,and it nearly broke his honest heart to give her up. Jim never had an accident, hut that wasn't his 'fault." he always said. "It wasu'l me thai missed 'eiu. It win oie Six. She wouldn't ever go into the back end of a train o' the blackest night an' all lights out. You couldn't drive her. Couldn't git 'er nigh 'er broken bridge or trestle or washout." Jim never got any further with his explanation until that night at the round-house when aomeofthe boysoegged him to tell them why oid six wouldn't get into trouble. "As I've unit the track. l>oys," he began. "I don't min' tellin' yer jest why. Reckon y' all know I took to firin' with Dave Oritlln, an' all I know about er engine I learnt from him. He was like er father ter me, an'when he died I lost the best frien' a lone boy ever bad. .Lost, did I say? No, not lost, but II') looked out into the night and the little audience waited for him to finish the sentence. B:;. he went on anew. voriied mighty hard an' falthtul.but I wnz 'n oli* mu:i when they gimme the best engine on tii'- ad. You've all heard ofole Six? Sue's scrap i ten year ago. I had run aloug for er 1 good in iv years 'thout er accident of any sort an'?v ail know how't is?had got sorter careless, like. I k no wed every rail an' crosstie In the road, to say nothin' of bridges an' trestles an' culverts, an' could shct my eyes an'tell where I wuz by the way ole Six carried herself. Well, one night?It's the darkest night I ever saw: the moon an' stars seemed as if they'd gone out for good an' the black, thick clouds set so close to the earth that yer could feel 'em as 3*er ploughed through 'em. Head-lights didn't amount to much them days, nohow, but that night mine didn't do no good at all. Sump'n must've blacked the glass, for I couldn't see ten steps ahead of tne pilot, an' what dim light ther wuz Hashed sickly against er solid front uf cloud. By an' by it began to rain. The water came down like the bottom had fell out. an' in loss "n live minutes I could hear It roarin' in the ditches alongside the track. The noise it made tearin' through the culverts drownded the rattle er the train. I ho^e 11 never see such another flood. I.ightnin every minute an less split the darkness on all sides, an' the thunder boomed 'moug the clouds as if the old earth was explodin'from the inside fires. At every boom the clouds gave down more rain, an' old Six trembled as If she was skeered to go ahead. "On we went, up hill an' down hill, forty miles an hour an" no stops fur way stations. We climbed the summit at Pinson's an' flashed by like a skeered deer, on down the long grade towards Dykess Run an" the big trestle. I knowed every Miek o' timber in that trestle,! I knowed it's the best on the road, an' I wasn't a leered to go over it er mile er minute, so I didn t slack up. I leaned back in my seat an' listened to the ragln' storm outside. My fireman had opened the furnace door an' stepped back in the tender for some coal, when suddenly a big. white-headed man got between me and the red light of the furnace fire an" leaned over toward the front o' the cab. One long arm reached out, an' takin' hold o' the throttle shut of!" the steam. The other pulled three long blasts of the whistle, the signal for brakes, an' then befiye I could say a word the man caught the lever in both hands an' reversed her clean back to the lowest notch. The same long arm again reached the throttle an' pulled her wide open. Ole Six's drivers began to spin around backward an' the train began to slack up. Jumpin' up I made a lunge at the old man, but instead of hitting him I fell flat across the cab, I got up an' saw him still stendin' there looking out ahead. I throwed my arms around him to pull him away, but they passed right through his body an' tell at my side. He turned an' loooked at me, an' I saw it was Dave?Dave Griffin, come back from the grave! "When my senses come back the train was t atandln' still an' Dave was gone. I knowed there was somethin' wrong ahead, so I got out an' walked down the road. A hundred feet away I came to er great gap in the track?the big trestle was gone! The credit was growed to a mighty river roarin' an' rushin'an'gurglin' over the piles. Boys, I didn't 'eel skeered then. I but somehow I couldn't stan' ip. My legs telt weak an' give way under me in' I set down on the track in the oourin" rain. I?I didn't go to sleep. I couldn't ha' done that, but my fireman said he had to shake me puny hard to git me np. No, boys. I dinn't run ole Six. It's Dave au' me together that's always pulled her through."

Churlishness. DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE AMERICAN AND ENGLISH VARIETIES. For thorough, mean piggishness an English shopkeeper can take the pie from any human being, writes Mr. I.eland. Walk down Regent street, friend reader, at any time when it threatens rain, and you will see all the good folks taking in their awnings. This is ex- j plained to me as being done lest passers-by should take refuge beneath them, and so form crowds which might prevent a possible customer from entering. The crowd would prevent purchasers from seeing what there is for sale! In termany one otten sees a bench placed where there is a beautiful view for weary wayfarers to rest and enjov It. In England everybody cries out when I speak of this: "Ah, but don't you know, the tramps would sit on them." I sometimes think that one might easily Induce all England to live Joyfully locked up in solitary cells, il you could only persuade them that it was to "keep the vulgar out." The worst feature of this and all other national faults is, that every Englishman cheerfully admits them, with pride, indeed, because, as he says, "It's quite true; but then, it's English." But have we no national phases of discourtesy and disobligingness My dear fellow-American, j there is a very serious one which I should like to see amended. One day I was in the Philadelphia post office. I wished to send a money order, but could not do so, for I had forgotten my eyeglasses and could not write. I watched a well dressed young woman tilling up Just such an order. Then I asked her if she would not fill up mine, as I could not see to do it. She informed me with great coolness that she could not, as she did not know how. Then I asked a young man. He said that he had no time to attend to it Seeing a manifest lounger, I asked him if he would oblige me. He began to sav that he didn't know?couldn't say?he was in a hurry. So I left him and went to the clerk at the window, who informed me that the office regulations did not allow him to fill It. As the only persons who would require this would be the blind and those unable to write, I was not particularly impressed with the kind spirit which could frame such a law. Speakiug to a certain man of all this, he insisted that I had by ill chance hit on an unlucky streak of churlish people, such as could not happen again. I ottered to bet him that if I went there again three out ot every five t>ersons would refuse as the others had done. He would not take the bet. If he had he would have lost it. My dear fellow-countrymen, you are not churlish as John Bull is, but you have the fault of alwavs fancying yourselves to be too busy and in too much ot a hurry. You think it gives you an air of importance to show that your time is worth i money. And so one hears no ena of complaints from Americans of Englishmen and vice versa, but seldom of themselves, and when they do realize that they have faults they are proud of them because they are "characteristic.

The Cbnreh and Women. CONSIDERATION OF THEIR SOCIAL AND DOMES TIC POSITION IS MODERN CIVILISATION. Bishop Spa..ling iu the North American Review. If Christian society has not realized its ideals ooncerning women, it has never been without their elevating and refining influence. To the action of the church in the middle ages we are indebted for the monogamic family, which lies at the ba->is of our civilization, and is the stronghold of all that is best in our social life. Had the popes and bishops not withstood kings and I baron? when they sought to continue the polygamous practices that among the German barbarians were lawful, mon^gainv would have perished among the ruling classes of Europe: and with the development of popular power, had such development then been possible, woman would have fallen to the place that she r to-day occupies in Mohametan countries. Indeed, the preservation of all western Europe ftoiu the blight of Mohame;anlsm is due to the action of the church, which united, and was alone able to unite, the warring factions of western semi-barbarians, and to hurl them century after century, against the strongholds of the hordes wh not necessary ?o examine into the genesis and evolution of society to find reasons I lor giving the hardship of the family to a man- we need but look into the heart of woman to I see there an impulse so strong as lite to look up 1 to ami tollow the man she loves. Between man and woman there ought to be no question of superiority or inferiority; thev are unlike, and in nothing do they differ more than in their relative power to escape trom their Impressions. A woman understands only what he feels, whereas a man may grow to be able to look at things as they are in themselves remaining the while Indifferent to their relation* to himself.

THE PLYMOUTH PASTOR SAYS SCIENCE AND RELIGION ARE NOT CONFLICTING. A special dispatch to the Philadelphia Timet from New York. May 31. says: Plymouth church held a large congregation to-day, despite the lowering clouds and threatening rain, when Henry Ward Beecher began his second sermon in his "Evolution series." with the text from the 3d verse of the 1st chapter of the Gospel of St. John: "All things were made by Him and without Him wan not anything made that was made." The preacher said that it was the testimony of tho Bible, both Jewish and Christian. that the whole world and the entire universe are the creation of God. How he made them, whether by the direct force of creative will or bv gradual changes, is by no means so well agreed upon. Tho world Is not a chance, not a creative re-mentation, not the result of self-development. It Is the product of an intelligent being and of a divine will. There are two records of creative energy. One shows how man was unfolded by the inspiration of God's nature. There is another record in the physical globe of the divine thought in the unloldin* history of matter. One is God's thought in the evolution of material forces, the other God's thought In the evolution of I he mind. It is tlie Old Testament and the New in scientific sense. The book of the world show's , and chemical changes and grinding ice made a soii fit for vegetation. Then plants developed to nearly their present condition and the first animal was an aquatic invertebrate: then came fishes and amphibians and finally the earllst mammals and birds, and la^t of all man, at the end of the tertiary or the beginning of the sequent period. Evolution is the method of creation taught by the scientific world: without it all science would Tall back into unrelated atoms. It Is held by much Christian men as Prof. Dana; Lecont, Presbyterian elder; McCosli, Presbyterian of the Presbyterians; Asa Gray, an Episcopalian: Mlvart, a Roman Catholic; Wallace, a Christian Spiritualist, and by the bishop of London. It will oblige theology to be reconstructed, but it will take away no ground of true religion. It will strip Saul's armor off of David and send liirn forth better prepared to meet the giant. The change of theology will emacipate religion. Evolution will multiply motives and facilities Tor righteousness. It will leave all the forces of religion to rouse and inspire faith, brighter and keener than before. Thesword of thespirit will 110 longer be sheathed In false philosophy. It will obliterate the distinctions of natural and reveaied religion, for both are of God. It Is our duty to hail the rising light: we must hail the signs of the times an?l rebuke those sciolists of tho pulpit who make faces at evolution and reason from prejudice to ignorance. Modern ignorance.has inserted much into the Bible that does not belong there. Concluding. Mr. Beecher said: "The mountain top has been reached and the promised land is in view. Great as has been the past the future will be greater. These last years of my life I dedicate to God, to the development of i L'lirist on a grander scale. I believe in God; I believe in Christ as the representative of bivinity; I believe in the essential truths of morality and spirituality; I am not an infidel, in agnostic nor an atheist; I am a lover of Christ as a representative of infinite love." ?o? Color Blinrine?ts. RED AND GREEN MOST B >THEK THOSE WHOSE VISION IS IMPEKFECT. From a Paper by Dr. George S. Munson. The most frequent defect in color blindness Is '.he inability todistinguish red. A distinguished professor in an English university once wore a .carlet gown through the streets, much to the imuseinent of many who saw him. On being tsked by a friend what appeared to him to be ;he color of this robe, he answered, pointing to some evergreens near by, "It seeius to me to resemble those as closely as possible." The next ;olor most frequently mistaken for some other s green. The imjiortance of this defect is estimated by the frequency of its occurrence. If t occurs only once in 10,000 persons, it is of :ourse of less importance than if happening >nce in 100. Men are more frequently affected with this defect in vision than women. The defect, when it is congenital, as it is in most of the cases under the ob-ervation of physicians, Is incurable. It is sometimes induced by immoderate use of tobacco or liquor. As many as sue in twenty-five ol the men employed on lines of travel are affected by this inability to distinguish ren from green. The color blind in ;ase of accident by travel on land and sea cannot readily be detected because of the difficulty A tracing the causes of the accident. One thus affected cannot tell a red from agreenliuht, but one ol these lights api>cars darker or less bright to him than the other. The test of color blindness Is not how well one ;an name colors, but how much he sees them, [f two letters be drawn, one red and another jreen, on a background, a jierson who is red blind will distinguish omy the green letter, and a person who is green blind would fail to distinguish or see the^rcen letter. In other words, to the first the red color is suppressed and to the second the green. The red blind will place a purple or a green alongside of a rose color, fupposing them all to be the same shade. The jrecii blind will confound the blue and the y reading their names on the tubes. He employs usually only black, brown and white in his work. Dr. Jeffries, of Philadelphia, Instituted a very efficient test of color blindness by suspending 1 numbered skeins of worsted of different colors j from a rod. The standard colors 01 rose, red and green, with all the various shades of these colors, were numbered with the odd numbers. All other colors were numt?cred with even numbers. The persons examined for color blindness were invited to match shades of the three named before as the standard, and if anv so named were among those numbered with the even numbers it was seen at once that they were unable to distinguish colors.

An Km|?>ror'ii I.lfe. THE ANECDoriCS OK WILIIEI.M I. THAT THROW LIGHT UPON III.?i PERSONALITY. Berlin Leiter to the New York Sun. Soldiers, officers, anything or any one belonging to his beloved army are privileged with Emperor Wllhelm, but his love does not exclude a strong sense of justice and a severe enforcement of discipline. Latterly some soldiers of the Landwehr, or reserve, all well-to-do, rich, influential burgesses, rebelled at the injunction to enter baggage wagons, aud absolutely refused to travel in them. They referred the case to the emperor by telegram, ending their statement by these words: -'What does your majesty command us to do?" The answer came, prompt aud curt, "Obey," and the delinquents had to answer before a military tribunal for their insubordination. The body servant of the emperor, the oldest of all his old retainers, the faithful Engel, is a septuagenarian. His master treats him with playful familiarity, using to him the friendly riu, and never falls when he enters the room in tiie morning to inquire after his health. He is far less strong and robust than the aged monarch, and one day last winter he regretfully informed his majesty that he must soon retire from service; that every man could not be as everlastingly hale as the emperor, and that he needed rest. William I. responded, with a laugh: Engel, thou and I have not the time to rest, and nothing more was said. The emperor neither smokes nor takes snuff. He uses a short-sighted eyeglass to read and write only, aud will not own that his eves are w?aker. He sleeps, like a boy, souudly and peacefully. He likes a Joke, and with his inferiors is most considerately kind, buying himself little presents for each of his servants at Christmas. The other day be missed a lady's maid, whom he was wont to see about the empress daily. On Inquiry he was told she had a day's leave of absence to visit her family, as if was her birthday. The next morning, meeting her, the emperor gave her a trifle, adding. "I am late with my congratulations, Mtin Kind."

In the Criminal Court. Judge MacArthur, yesterday, Philip Smoot on two cases of petit larceny, pleaded guilty and was sentenced to live days in each ease. During the twenty-four hours ending at 8 o'clock this morning, the police maUe fifty arrests. During June 1st and 2d there arrived at our wharves, for this market, 1,420 tons of coal, 2,ooo barrels of cement, 305,ooo feet of lumber, 912 tons of stone, and oOO tons of ice. Wm. Mayse, a juror of the Criminal Court, was excused for the term to-day. John Shehan, the printer charged with the grand larceny of a gold watch from Edward Winney, a pressman at the government printing office, was acquitted by Judge Snell teuul relorms, is to cousider the best methods of treating the depeudeut and delinquent classes and to secure the abandon- mentof old abuses and the adoption of more enlightened methods. As can be seen the obJects of the organization affect the most vital questions of modern society, and the character of those Interested as well as the results to be attained, appeal totne sympathies and interests of the public gen crally. fhat such Is the ease is attested by the tact that thi?National conference is now in its twelfth year, aud each year has witnessed its development and growth, until now it can be justly called a representative body of the American people. Its origin is only another illustration ot how great movements have their beginnings in small and apparently insignificant events. On the 14th of May, 1872. representatives of the states of Wisconsin, Michigan aud Illinois met in Chicago for the purpose of exchanging views and obtaining information as would enable the state boards of charities in th?>se states to do their work to better advautage and secure harmony of action and methods. This was the beginning of the National Conference of Charities, and the results of this first meeting were so beneficial that a second meeting was held in the following year in Milwaukee. At these meetings THE PRISON SYSTEMS then in vogue in those states were discussed as to their effectiveness in securing the objects of imprisonment, namely: The protection of society, the reformation of the criminal and the prevention of crime. The subject of com-I pulsory labor was also considered, and the various reformatory methods discussed. In j 1874 the conference nkt in New York upon the invitation of the Social Science association and in connection with that body. For the next five years the conference continued to meet with the Social Science association, but it was j felt that the practical questions: What shall I be done with the poor, the insane and criminal classes? were of sufficient importance to absorb all the time of the conference. The sixth conference, held in Chicago in 1870, met independently of the Social Science association, and the subsequent meetings, held annually, have been separate and distinct from any other organization. The National Conference of Charities aud Corrections is no longer an experiment and the meetings have been productive ol great benefit. It is remarked that the meetings are followed by legislation in various states, which carries into practical operation the ideas and suggestions made at the conferences. THE PRESENT SESSION, which begins to-morrow evening, and promises to be very largely attended, will continue until the following Wednesday evening. On Friday and Saturday there will be a morning and an evening session. Friday afternoon the delegates will visit the jail, asylum, workhouse,and the government insane hospital. Saturday afternoon they will be given a drive around the city and visit the various public buildings and the Soldiers'Home. To-morrow the delegates will visit Mount Vernon, accompanied by the members of the local committee, and in the evening, after the opening exercises, a reception and banquet will be given at Willard s 1 hotel. Some of the subjects that will be dis-! cussed during the session will be prison reform, I the employment of juvenile delinquents in reformatories and houses oi reiuge, the proper provision for the insane and idiots, the preven- tiou of pauperism and charity organization.

There Is not a more pleasiuj; and satisfactory charity than that which ha? for its object the giving to the poor children of crowded cit ies the opportunity to breathe the fresh air of the country during the heat of summer. The charitable and humane citizcns of all cities take a lively interest in such a philanthropic enterprise. and none more so than the citizens of Washington. Some twenty well known voung ladies or this city have this mat ter In'hand. Fifteen poor children are to be sent to the Children's Country Home, near Tenleytown, for fifteen days, and. at the end of that time to be replaced by fifteen more, and so on. These children will be fed and taken care of, but to do j this money, d-e., will be required. To raise i some these young ladies give a garden party or a pound party at the hoiae to-morrow (Thursday.) Stages will leave the terminus of the street railroad in Georgetown at I, 5, 0 and 7 o'c lock tomorrow afternoon. The ride will be a short and pleasant one, whether bv stage or private carriage. and it is hoped the attendance wiil be large, us every one is expected to bring i a pound of something, whether it be sugar, cotfee, rice, silver, greenbacks, Ac. A five dollar bill will be considered as a pound. The first detachment oi juveniles will go to the home on Friday, the next day after the garden partv.

Albacoh's Opera House.?"Girofle-Glrofla" is done with considerable spirit, and in portions with a pronounced French flavor, at Albutgh's this week. The performance is notover smooth, and lacks that unflagging briskness of action, without which opera bouffe is wrv apt to be flat. This briskness is especially requisite in "Girofle-Ciirofla to carry safely over the mnnv spots iu the libretto where the moral ic?' i* per- ilously thin. .Miss Beebee docs well us the twin i sisters.

Prof. Iias;>ar*K >Bt:sicale. Ford's Opera House was crowded to overflowing last night on the occasion of Prof. Josef Kaspar's third annual musieale. The curtain rose upon a picturesque scene, tiie large orchestra bein^ grouped upon the stage, and most of the violinists being ladies. The orchestral numbers were the "Faniska" overture from Cherublni, Haydn's serenade for string instruments, the allegretto movement Iroiu Beethoven's Seventh Symphony, and a musical complication by Joseph Ebert, cntifled, "The American Wandering Soloist." The orchestra I comprised, beside Prof. Kaspar's pupils, tiie 1 best resident musicians, together with prominent solo performers from Baltimore and Philadelphia, and was superior to any ever heard in Washington, except that led bv Theodore Thomas. Under Prof. Kaspar's direction they performed every number with a spirit and precision that is usually attainable only after long and constant association. The uniformity and E streets north- west, and also at the corner below, and a dozen i more throughout the city. I think there is a man paid to keep the pumps in order who docs not know anything, for he is fast ruining all tho good well- in South Washington. Now, 1 cannot the District Commissioners put the two pumps, one at 7th and E streets and the other at Oth and E streets southwest, in order,and all others that need repairs, so that the citizens may have a good, healthy drink of water, and not be compelled to drink the tilth that comes from the canal above Georgetown. The people iu that neighborhood are now compelled to lug drinking water all the way from 4^ street to 7th street.
