TAPPING THE VVIRES.
A Blue Book is published containing the
detailed protocols of the Berlin Congress
and the official reports of its proceedings.
It reveals the fact that many of the reports
claiming to have been cable dispatches to
certain New York journals were entirely
without foundation. Similar revelations
regarding the proceedings in the British
House of Commons in relation to the
Anglo-Turkish treaty have also been made,
and it turns out that they were cable reports
manufactured, in New York. Our dis
patches pertinently ask: “Is it not time that
these fraudulent and baseless cable reports
should be exposed and checked ?”
It is believed that the debate in the
House of Commons on Lord Hart-
ngton’s resolution will last the entire
week and a division will be reached on
Friday night. The Conservatives will sup
port Hon. Handle Edward Plunkett's amend
ment expressing confidence in the Ministers.
The freedom of the city of London will lie
conferred on Lerds Beaeonsfieid and Salis
bury on the 3d of August.
The London 7W* says that in conferring
the garter on Lord Beaeonsfieid, the highest
social honor which could he bestowed on
him by bis Sovereign has been added to the
applause which he has won from the coun-
tiy at large.
Prince Labanoff, Russian Ambassador at
Constantinople, has received no instructions
in regard to the occupation of Batoum. He
states that the Russians will overcome the
resistance of the Lazis if the Turkish forces
retire. The evacuation of the forts around
Shumla continue, and the Turks promise to
surrender the place as soon as the Russians
retire from Constantinople.
Mr. R. C. TVickliffe, Colonel P. J. Powell
and Captain W. W. Leake, of West Fe
liciana, appeared before the Potter sub
committee yesterday and testified regarding
their efforts to induce the colored men to
vote the Democratic ticket. They said they
proceeded by organizingcoiored Democratic
clubs, and the most potent argument used
was in regard to the public schools, the
funds of which had been misap
plied by the Republicans. A letter
was received from Thomas 8. Kelly,
Kellogg's colored Doorkeeper, who said
the names of two of the Hayes electors to
the second set of returns were forged, and
he could name the person who committed
the forger}'. Subpoenas were issued to Mrs.
Weber and J. Gondran, Webers brother-in
law, but they each declared their inability
to appear before the committee.
| (The Ohio National Greenback Labor Party
have met in Columbus and adopted resolu
tions to the effect that the lack of harmony
on financial questions in both the Demo
cratic and Republican parties forces them to
unite together in a new organization.
The Secretary of the Interior has decided
that lands granted the Union Pacific Rail
road are liable to pre-emption at -Si 25 per
acre like other lauds.
The Potter Committee reassembled at At
lantic City yesterday. Representative Dan-
ford, Republican, of Ohio, testified that he
was a member of the Morrison Committee
that visited New Orleans, and there he met
.lames E. Anderson, with whom he had a
full conversation about East Feliciana, and
who, among other things, told him that he
had informed the Republican Committee, in
cluding Kellogg, that his parish was
going Democratic, the colored vote being
largely on that side, and that he had been
advised by Kellogg either to stay away Irorn
the parish altogether or to make such a pro
test as would throw out the vote of the
parish. To-day Representative Kelley will
testify regarding the Moorehouse parish
depositions.
Sir Stafford Northcote has announced to
the House of Commons the betrothal of the
Duke of Connaught, Queen Victoria’s third
son, to the Princess Marie Louise, daughter
of Prince Frederick Charles of Prussia.
The schooner Parallel has arrived at San
Francisco and reports that on the 7th inst.
she fell in with a Japanese junk with a
number of corpses aboard, many of which
were shackled together, and some were
dressed in costly material. Not a living
soul was on the vessel.
Committees from both wings of the Texas
Democracy have met, and a break in the
deadlock in the convention is probable, it
having been agreed to withdraw from nomi
nation the names of both the present can
didates and put up men not yet before the
convention.
Escobedo is reported to have been cap-
tured by Diaz's troops.
Abundant Bread Crops.
The latest crop news from the West is
of the most encouraging character, and
gives promise of abundant and cheap
provisions the coming year. Reports re
ceived in Chicago on Saturday from the
Northwest state that the acreage in
Southern .Minnesota is one-third more
than last year, and that this will fully
make up for any deficiency in' the yield.
In Iowa the reports are quite favorable
for corn and eneoura^ig for wheat.
Wisconsin also promises well. The
Cincinnati Enquirer gives eight columns
from the grain growing districts, which
affirm that “the crops already- harvested
are unusually heavy, exceeding those of
last year, while crops growing promise
better than at same period in any former
year. Some damage has been done by
the fly and heavy rains, but this is en
tirely overcome by increased acreage
and heavy yield. The oat crop is in good
condition and about half harvested. Re
ports in regard to corn are exceedingly
favorable. ”
The venerable Sir Moses Montefiore,
tlie most beloved and reverenced by his
race of all living Jews, has naturally
watched the proceedings of the Berlin
Congress with an eye of peculiar inter
est on its bearings upon the welfare of
his race. The following dispatches, ex
changed between him and Baron Blci-
chroder of Berlin, on the acceptance by
the Congress of the equality of religions
for Roumania, will be refit! with peculiar
interest by all Jews:
BARON BLEICHRODER TO SIR MOSES MON-
TEFIORE.
Equality of religions was accepted yes
terday, also for Itoumania. Congratula
tions.
SIK MOSES MONTEFIORE TO BARON BLEICH
RODER.
Most gratified with happy intelligence
contained in your telegram,'for which I
heartily thank you. I beg to congratu
late you on the success of your unceasing
efforts, rraise the God of Israel for Ilis
mercy and goodness to His people.
It is not, remarks the Bridgeport
Farmer, a hopeful indication for the fu
ture of the republic when millions of in
telligent citizens become utterly indiffer
ent to and careless of the fact that the
man who was elected to the Presidency
is a private citizen, while the man who
was defeated has been slipped in through
the sluiceways of crime, and holds the
other’s place. More dangerous than the
fraud itself is the pusillanimous spirit
begotten of the fraud.
A new law has recently gone into ef
fect in Massachusetts in relation to stray
animals. Hens have been apparently
considered beneath the dignity of notice
from our legislators, but hereafter the
owners of hens, sheep, cattle or swine,
in Massachusetts, who allow them to
run at large unattended, will do so at
the risk of a suit and fine of $10 for
each offense.
Jubilation on Small Capital.
Certain Radical friends of fraud, and
opponents of the investigation into the
same, profess great jubilation at certain
testimony lately elicited before the sub
committee now m New Orleans. This
jubilation is based on the fact that three
witnesses have testified that they were
offered bribes by Weber to recant eer
tain testimony made by them on a
former occasion, to the effect that in
timidation was practiced in Louisiana,
and swear now that they, only said what
they did then for political effect. It is
argued that these witnesses clearly prove
that a Democratic conspiracy existed in
Louisiana, and hence the organs of
fraud are delighted. A glance at facts
as they exist, however, will show that
their delight is founded on a very slight
foundation, and that really and truly it is
only assumed as a cloak to conceal genu
ine nervousness.
The first of these witnesses is the man
Dula, a summary of whose testimony
was given yesterday. He was formerly
a colored Judge in Feliciana parish un
der the Kellogg regime, and was so noto
riously imliecile and incompetent that he
was requested by an unanimous vote of
the bar to resign. This man testified that
Weber offered him money and a school
teacher’s place if he would recant testi
mony given by him before a former
Committee. He confesses that he ac
cepted a portion of the bribe money and
spent it. and then, suddenly, his con
science became very tender, and he de
termined he would not accede to Weber's
wishes.
We might indeed be naturally startled
at the idea of a Radical official of the
Kellogg order, be he white or be he black,
developing a conscience at all, and es
pecially one strong enough to resist mo
ney and bribes. But the mystery soon ail
vanishes. Later on we are informed that
this tender-conscienced seeker after place
has been offered a position in Returning
Board Anderson’s custom house. That ex
plains everything. Of course, under
such circumstances, be is willing to say
anything his political master desired, and.
of course, he will not recant former false
hood. He is immediately ready to
swear again that murder most foul ever
stalked abroad in the parish of Feliciana,
and it was customary there to kill and
horribly mangle every unfortunate col
ored man who dared to vote a Democratic
ticket. Be it borne in mind, however,
that even if his briber} - story be accepted
as true,he did not return the money he said
he received from Weber before he be
came either conscience stricken or tempt
ed by a higher bribe than Weber had
offered.
The remaining two witnesses, Clark
and Swazy, are exactly of the same class
as is this ex-Judge. Clark was also a
colored official under Kellogg, having
been a recorder of mortgages in East Fe
liciana parish, while Swazie, orSweazie,
is at this very time a colored employe
in Returning Board Anderson's custom
house.
Thus it will be seen that all the friends
of fraud rely upon so far to prove intimi
dation and a Democratic conspiracy in
Louisiana is the testimony of three wit
nesses of the Eliza Pinkston stripe,
whom probably no one would believe
under oath. On the other hand there
are many equally as reliable—certain
ly they could not be less so—than these
who swear to the opposite; declare that
there never was any intimidation, and
that the election was fair and peaceable.
It seems to be almost superfluous to
say more regarding tbe East Feliciana
business. The Radicals know as well as
everybody else does that the State of
Louisiana was counted for Hayes by
fraud and rascality after having been
fairly carried by Tildcn. Their efforts
at jubilation and bolstering up their bad
cause are weak in the extreme, and can
deceive no one. They may be very
skillful in enacting the character of
Mark Tapley, but even he could not be
j illy under such exceedingly adverse
circumstances as those by which they
find themselves surrounded.
Hayes and Civil Service Reform.
The New York Journal of Commerce
is becoming heartily disgusted with what
it docs not hesitate to characterize as
Mr. Hayes’ “ treachery or weakness
in relation to civil service reform.” Al
luding to recent abuses of the appoint
ing power, as disclosed by its Washing
ton correspondent, the Journal says:
“They wifi deepen the indignation
already felt by ever}- non-partisan Ameri
can at the shameful betrayal or culpable
neglect of the trust voluntarily assumed
by President Hayes in repeated solemn
promises. It is desirable that the public
feeling on this subject should be quick
ened and made glowing. We tell our
correspondent to go ahead with his
‘facts.' But we do not see how ac
cumulative proofs he may present can
fasten a greater duplicity or incapacity
upon the President than his late meddling
witli the New York custom house. That
sole act marks the abandonment of tne last
pretense of civil service reform as com
pletely as a hundred or a thousand minor
instances could do. It was a told, de
liberate, confessed repudiation of all the
President’s pledges. It was the open, de
fiant return to the worst evils of the old
system of personalism and favoritism,
which (he President bound himself over
and over not to follow. It was the car
rying of faction politics—the worst of its
kind—and personal revenge into the civil
Service : and the theatre for the operation
was the New York custom house, the
m03t important Federal institution out
side of Washington. The President
could not have chosen a place where the
recantation of all his pledges could be
more publicly and notoriously pro
claimed. After this, who would be
brassy enough to call him a ‘civil service
reformer.’”
The Journal’* Washington correspon
dent closes Lis letter of Friday with the
foiiowing paragraph:
“No careful observer here who has had
a favorable opportunity to study the
complicated features of the departmental
service can have failed to note this im
portant fact: that during the past few
months the course of the President,several
Cabinet officers and Chiefs of Bureaus,
has had a most demoralizing effect upon
various branches of the Executive Depart-
tments. Appointments without regard to
qualification, promotions without regard
to merit and length of service, have be
come so frequent that many of the most
competent, trustworthy and respectable
officers and employes make no con
cealment of their utter disgust and
discouragement. Unscrupulous bureau
officers, exercising a marked influence in
the disbursement of funds and in the
bestowal of favors, are more than ever
given up to the furtherance of their own
selfish cads. The example of the Presi
dent and memWs of the Cabinet in this
regard is having its natural effect. Per
sonalism and favoritism in the White
House breed the same faults in the de
partments, and these in turn breed cor
rupt ‘rings' and cliques. Nothing is
more inevitable than this result—it lias
been demonstrated over and over again
during the past decade—and notlung can
be more demoralizing to the service.”
A well informed Jefferson county cor
respondent of the Augusta Chronicle
writes to that paper that the scorching
weather of the past few days is doing a
great deal of damage to the cotton crop
of that section.
1:”’
Scribner for August.
This is enticed the “midsummer's
hoi.day number," and the beautiful
new cover, with its Chinese fan,
flowers and humming be-is, is sug
gestive and appropriate. On opening to
the first page we are struck with a re
markable portrait of William Cullen
Bryant, engraved by Cole from a crayon
drawing by Wyatt Eaton, for wnieh the
poet gave repeated sittings during the
past spring. The paper on Mr. Bryant s
life and homes, which it was also planned
to have with the portrait, is by Rev. II.
N. Powers, and was written before the
former's illness. The illustrations are
about twenty in number and chiefly re
present points of interest at or near the
Cummington and Roslyn residences. Dr.
Holland also writes editorially of Mr.
Brvant, and “The Old Cabinet” contains
an estimate of his standing as a poet, and
a reprint of the curious original version
of “Thanatopsis.”
There are also in this number four
illustrated out-of-door articles, as fol
lows: “A Seaport on the Pacific,” by
Mary Halloek Foote, ffliose picturesque
drawings for her own text are thought to
be among her most charming work;
“To South Africa for Diamond.-!” an
interesting record of rare personal expe
rience, by Dr. William J. Morton, with
drawings, including a large view of the
great Kimberley mine by Moran; “Sharp
Eyes,” a field paper, by John Burroughs,
with bird illustrations by Mrs. Fanny
Eliot Gifford, who makes her debut as a
magazine artist in this number: and
“Glimpes of New England Farm Life,"
by Rowland E. Robinson, introducing
draughtsmen new to Scribner in Messrs.
L. C. Tiffany. R. S. Gifford. Henry Far
rar, Jervis McEntee and Winslow Homer,
besides 3Ir. Shirlaw and Mr. Kelly.
“Falconberg,”Mr. Boyesen’snew novel
of Norwegian and American life in the
Northwest, begins in this number.
Of the other stories, “LongstafFs Mar
riage,’ by Henry James. Jr., deals with
Anglo-American life at Nice and Rome,
and -‘Our Tavern,'' by Frank R. Stock-
ton, relates a summer escapade on this
side of tbe Atlantic. The tenth instal
ment of Eggleston's “Roxy” has a draw
ing of Mr. Shirlaw, as usual.
Of the four long poems in the number,
two appear without cuts: “Off Scar-
l<orough, September, 1779,” by Bret
Harte, and “Meridian,” Mr. Stedman’s
Yale poem, here printed in fuU for the
first time: and two with cuts: Mr. J. T.
Trobridge’s “Old Robin" having three
drawings by Will H. Low. and Dr. Hol
land’s ballad, “The Puritan’s Guest,"
having three by Airs. Alary Halloek Foote.
There are also shorter poems by C. P.
Crutch. Henry Eckford, Andrew B. Sax
ton. and Airs. E. AI. Booth.
The departments, in most cases, are
full and the subjects seasonable. “The
World% Work” is given over to “Recent
Improvements in Telephony” (with seven
cuts), discussing the Edison and Hughes
experiments now prominent before the
public* Two or three additional pages
are given to “Bric-a-Brac,” which con
tains two series of drawings by new
humorous artists, besides a satire on
house furnishing, by Air. Stockton, and
dialect and society verse of a fresh and
diverting character, etc.
Ihe International Alonetary Con
ference.
The Cincinnati Commercial, comment
ing upon the work of the approaching
Internationa! Alonetary Conference, to
which Alessrs. Groesbeck, Walker and
Fenton are the American delegates, says
“ Ihe difficulty of a double standard is the
arrangement of the ratio ; and it is the
fixing of that which the commission must
do, or fail to do anything. The decline
in the comparative value of silver can be
traced to these influences : The large pro
duction in Nevada, though this has been
exaggerated; demonetization in Germany;
the course of trade m India and China,
the silver-consuming countries: the limita
tion of the coinage of silver lawful money
in the nations of the Latin Union. The
influence last named we believe to be the
most important. The ratio being fixed
by the Conference, all nations concerned
must open their mints as freely to silver
as to gold. No ratio can stand without
this equality. With it, perhaps even the
French ratio would be made good, but it
is our conviction that the American ratio
will he found the right one. The im
mense importance of the Alonetary Con
ference is kuown - to all intelligent per
sons. ”
Cheap AIonet What Wk AYant.—
The Nashville American gives tbe fol
lowing letter from one of the leading
merchants of that city:
“Dear Sir—A'ou are right. The
greatest and, in my estimation, the best
feature of the State bank scheme is cfieap
money. What the farmers, manufactur
ers and mechanics want is not only an
abundance of money, hut cheap money.
They want and need a bank that will do
business upon the old system, that fos
tered and sustained all the producing in
dustries of the State. They want an in
stitution that will loan them money for
four months tit six per cent, interest. This
will give them facilities for putting every
acre of land under cultivation and every
wheel in motion. Give the farmers
means to pay their hands promptly every
Saturday night until the crops are gath
ered. and you will hear no more of ‘farm
ing on shares’ or of unmanageable labor.
The great producing classes never have
been nor ever will be assisted in this way
by national bank monopolists. They
cannot give the collaterals required, and
if they could the rate of interest is too
high and the loan too short to do them
any good. Give us cheap money—money
so cheap that all industrious men can
safely borrow.”
Speaking of tbe appropriation of the
Senate offices by the incoming Demo
cratic Senate, the AVashington corres
pondent of the Baltimore Bun says: “In
regard to the office of Secretary of the
Senate it was stated to-day by the friends
of Air. Henry M. AVatterson, of the
Louisville Courier-Journal, that he is a
candidate for the position, and lias
already received such assurances from
the Democratic Senators as to leave no
doubt of his election. It is generally un
derstood that Mr. John G. Thompson,
the present Sergeant-at-Arms of the
House of Representatives, and a warm
personal friend of Senator Thurman,
will be the successor of Mr. French as
Sergeant-at-Arms of the Senate.
It is a decidedly pleasant thing, says
the New York Star, to be Secretary of
the Navy these times. You can just or
der out a United States sloop-of-war, in
vite a select party on board, cruise all
along the coast, devour ice and “fixin's”
ud libitum, and Uncle Sam must foot the
bill, because, you see, it is an official tour
of inspection, Whether so much parade
and expense add in any way to the effi
ciency of our naval service, might be an
interesting subject for a committee of
Congress to throw some light on in De
cember next. At present Secretary
Thompson and his party are “inspect
ing” the torpedo station at Newport.
A Chicago young man having asked to
be excusetf from jury service in a mur
der trial, through fear that he would lose
his position if he served, the Judge de
clared that he would fine and imprison
for contempt any person who should dis
charge an employe for such a reason.

A MILE A MINI TE WITH A GHOST
Darias Smith** Strange Vision—A
Frightful Journey by Night.
Reading tPa.) Eagle.
A few evenings ago Darius Smith.who
had finished haymaking west of Lees-
port. walked toward his home near Shoe
makervilie about nine o'clock in the
evening. When passing by the little
bridge below Alohrsvifie. where John
Diehl murdered his companion, his
thoughts were with the departed dead.
He soon reached a point above Mohrs
viUe where the murder of Adeline Beaver
took place, September or October, at the
time of the Reading Fair in 1857. This
estimable young lady was brutally
murdered by a man supposed to
have been named Bessel, and who
was killed in a railroad accident
on the Lebanon Valley Railroad
not long ago. * The murderer has never
been found out. but a sister of the
deceased, in a conversation relating to
the murder, remarked that “nothing was
ever said of him that was not true." She
now resides in Schuylkill county. When
nearing this place Smith felt a curious
sensation about his head, and his brain
reeled. He never believed in apparitions,
but right before him stood what ap
peared to lie the form of a woman, in
white apparel, and weeping. He hesi
tated, not knowing whither to go, when
the spectre appeared now to be enveloped
in a blue flame. Suddenly it mounted
skyward, first moaning, and after reach
ing a high altitude, commenced singing a
most beautiful hymn. Smith seemed
riveted to the spot, being unable to
move. After circling in the air for
about five minutes (which seaned an
hour), the form returned again, still
weeping. Her hair was hanging
down over her shoulders and "her
eyes seemed starting from their sockets.
She had a pale and trembling hand, and
she pointed to the edge of the left bank
of the Schuylkill, where Aliss Beaver
was killed in a narrow strip of wood:
Then she exclaimed, “There! there! near
that log! Oh my .” The form
stretched its hand, but, said Air. Smith,
“I was unable to move even a hand. It
motioned and beckoned me to come,
followed, and it led me to the place.
There lay the log, all covered with fresh
-signs of blood. C'Jming close I now
made sure it was the form of a woman
Her features looked haggard and worn,
as though having undergone a terrible
ordeal. I could not do otherwise than
foUow. more staggering than walking,
more dead than alive, through and over
the river, which fortunately only reached
to my knees, down the right bank to the
railroad where a small hand truck was
standing on the track. This had marks
of blood as though a body had been
dragged over it. There she beckoned
me to sit. I sat down and the spectre
arose five or six feet above ground. The
truck now started and we flew with
lightning velocity. I rode a mile in a
minute with the ghost. Suddenly I
came to a sudden halt, from what cause
I am still unable to say. AA'e were be
side a little pond. She now led the way
down to the water, looking so worn that
she crawled more than walked. Near
ing the edge of the pond or small creek
that was almost hidden by the
high growing grass and weeds, she
exclaimed, Aly God! AlyGod! Here!
Here!’ and with this strange sentence
on her lips she fell into the stream.
I now seemed to realize more than ever
my perilous position. Fright took the
place of stupor, and I, with the womanly
form still in the water, tieing dripping
wet, started on a dead run toward home.
I ran as I never before ran for about two
miles, when, before the house of a friend
at Shoemakerville. I fell prostrate at his
gate. I was unable to relate my terrible
experience until next day. He kindly
took me in and cared for me. My friend
said he never saw such a haggard and
pale look on a man’s face befare. After
relating my experience I started on my
way home, with a full determination
never to travel that road again bv night.”
A Musical Bull.
Alany years ago there was in the east
ern part of Alassachusetts a worthy old
doctor of divinity who, although an emi
nently benevolent and good man and true
Christian, yet loved a joke as well as the
most inveterate joker. It was before
church organs were in use, and it so hap
pened that the choir of the church had
recently purchased a c.ouble bass viol.
Not far from the church was a pasture,
and in it a large town bull. One hot
Sabbath in the summer he got out of his
pasture and came bellowing up the
street. About the church there was
plenty of untrodden grass, green and
good, and Air. Bull stopped to try the
quality—perchance to ascertain whether
it? location had improved its flavor. At
any rate the reverend doctor was in the
midst of his sermon, when—
Boo, woo, woo,” went the bull. The
doctor paused, looked up at the singing
seats, and with a grave face said:
I would thank the musicians not to
tune their instruments during swvice
time: it annoys me very much.”
The people stared, smiled, and the
parson went on—
“Boo, woo, woo,” went the bull again;
as be passed another green spot.
The parson paused again and ad
dressed the choir:
“I really wish the singers would not
tune their instruments while I am preach
ing. As I remarked before, it annoys
me very much.”
The people now fairly tittered, for
they knew that he knew as well as any
one what the cause really was. The min
ister went on a third time with his dis
course, but had not proceeded far be
fore—
“Boo, woo, woo,” came again from
Air. Bull.
The parson paused once more, and
again exclaimed:
“I have twice already requested the
musicians in the gallery not to tune their
instruments during sermon-time. I now
particularly request Air. L to desist
from tuning his big fiddle while I am
preaching.”
This was too much L got up.
too much agitated at the idea of “speak
ing out in meeting,” and stammered out:
“It is not me, Parson B ; it’s that
confounded town bull!”
It is needless, we presume, to add that
the “big fiddle” was not again heard in
that church.

A Heartless Beggar.
New York Star.
"Why don’t you take that child from
out of ihe sun?” exclaimed a kind-heart
ed old man last Friday about noon to a
woman standing in front of St. Paul’s
Church, on Broadway and Fulton street,
with a hare-headed infant of some six
months in her arms.
‘Please, sir,” was the answer, “I
would but I have no money, and if you
could spare me my car fare ! would take
it home.”
’Here—take this,” exclaime I the old
genjleman, pressing a new silver quarter
into her outstretched hand, “and take
the little thing to its home.”
With unuttered thanks the woman
clutched the money and started at a
rapid gait, ostensibly for the Sixth
avenue cars, hut as soon as the gentle
man bad moved on down Broadway, re
turned to her post in the sun, where,
with the intense heat pouring relentlessly
down upon the half-conscious babe, she
stood fanning herself until again ac
costed by a passer-by, when she related
the same story, received the same ready
assistance, and again moved off toward
the street cars, to return to her station
and await until the next victim came up.
During the three days of fiery heat,
while all New York was sweltering and
suffering, this same unfeeling wretch oc
eupied the northwest corner of Broad
way and Fulton street, holding in her
arms in the most conspicuous manner
this helpless atom of mortality, and from
its torture reaped a silver harvest from
all who passed and noticed her.
A singular accident occurred on Thurs-
/ night in some steel works at Cleve
land, Ohio. An ingot had been filled
with the liquid steel and covered to cool.
One of the men, thinking the metal was
cool enough to be uncovered, began
chipping off some rough pieces. In this
way he made a hole through the steel,
which exploded upon coming in contact
with the air, flying all over him and
burning him in a horrible manner. He
wUl probably die.
“Doesn’t Boston harbor remind you
of the Bay of Naples?” asked an enthu
siastic yachtsman. “Yes,” was tfie an
swer, “at least in one respect. They are
both full of water.”

KIGHT TO PI BLIC MEETINGS IN
ITALY.
The Batoum aud Shumla Questions.
day
BEFORE THE LOUISIANA SUB-COMMITTEE.
New Orleans, July 23.—Before the sub
committee R. C. Wiekliffe, colored, S. J.
Powell, and Captain W. W. Leake, of
West Feliciana parish, testified regarding
their efforts to induce colored men to vote
the Democratic ticket at the last election.
Each assisted in organizing colored Demo
cratic clubs, and addressing meetings of
the colored people. The most potent
argument used was in relation to the public
schools, which had been badly managed by
the Republicans, the funds being in many
cases misapplied. The last election was
peaceable and quiet.
Letters were received from Thomas 8.
Kelly, colored, who will be remembered as
the doorkeeper of Kellogg’s private office,
dated Lake Providence, La., and addressed
to the Potter sub-committee, in which hf
states that the names of Jeffrey and
Levisee on the second set of electorafcertifi
cates were forged, and offering, if sum
moned before the committee, to point out
the parties who committed the forgery.
Gov. Cox made a statement of his efforts
to secure thebttendance,as witnesses,of Mrs.
Weber and J. Gondran. Weber's brother-in-
law. Air. Dunbar, an officer of the commit
tee, was afterwards sent to Donaldsonville
with subpienas. Mrs. Weber replied that
her children were ill aud she could not leave
them. Gondran told Dunbar that he could
not leave his business. Furthermore, if he
came he would have to tell the truth, and
if he told all he knew he could not after
ward live here.
THE BIGHT TO PROTECT MEETINGS IN ITALY.
Rome, July 23.—The Dlrcttc (Ministerial
organ) maintains the necessity of preserv
ing intact the rights of public meetings, but
states that the government is firmly re
solved to prevent any demonstrations that
disturb public order,'a fact proved yester
day evening by the stringent measures
taken by the Minister of the Interior to
stop an attempted manifestation which
was highly unbecoming both in
form and sul>6tance. The Sirctt. adds that
neither Signor Seanardelli, Minister of the
Interior, nor Signor Cairoli, President of
Council, are disposed to yield to intimida
tion or threats. Referring to the require
ments of international usage in the election,
and to the proceedings of the Italian
Irredenta party, the IHrette says the govern
ment is fully a’live to its duties and obliga
tions toward a friendly power, and is de
termined to act up to them.
OHIO NATIONAL GRBEMUCK LABOR CONVEN
TION.
Collmbcs, July 23.—The State National
Convention organized this afternoon, elect
ing Robert Phelling, of Cleveland, Chair
man, and Hugo Preyer, of Canton, Secre
tary. Genera! S. F. Cary was Chairman of
the Committee on Resolutions. The reso
lutions reaffirm the declaration of
principles of tbe National party adopted at
Toledo, February 22d, and declare tbe
want of harmony of sentiment on the
financial question,'in both the Republican
and Democratic parties, renders it absolutely
necessary that those who demand financial
reform should abandon the old organizations
and unite together in the National Green
back Labor party.
THE BATOUM AND SHUMLA QUESTION.
London, July 23.—A Reuter telegram
from Constantinople says Prince Labanoff,
Russian Ambassador, has received no in
structions in regard to the occupation of
Batoum, but states that the Russians will
overcome the resistance of the Lazis if the
Turkish forces retire. The evacuation of
the forts around Shumla continues. The
Turks still promise to surrender the place
as soon as the Russians evacuate the posi
tions they hold near Constantinople.
TRIPLE MURDER AND SUICIDE.
Richmond, July 23.—A special dispatch
says Wilson llowehins, who resides near
Fluvana Court House, Va., yesterday mur
dered his wife, mother-in-law and one child,
and then committed suicide. A son of
seven years saw his father commence on his
mother, and he took the baby out of the
cradle and fled to a place of safety.
DECISION REGABGrNG UNION PACIFIC LANDS.
Washington, July 23—The Secretary of
the Interior to-day made a decision settling
in principle that the lands granted to the
Union Pacific Railroad and its branches by
act of July 1,1862, as ameuded by act of
July 2,1864, are subject to pre-emption at
one dollar twenty-five cents per acre, like
other lands.
THE “ TIMES ’’ ON BEACONSFIELD’S GARTER.
London, July 23.—The Times, comment
ing on the subject of the bestowal of the
Garter upon Beaeonsfieid, says: “The high
est social distinction which could be be
stowed by bis Sovereign is thus added to the
applause which Lord Beaeonsfieid has won
from the country at large.’’
THE FRENCH COLLIERS’ STRIKE.
Paris, July 23.—The Ansin Mining Com
pany has resolved to inform the strikers that
when they resume work their claims will re
ceive fair consideration.
cr the Heat op Nevada’s Mines.
—The miners who arc retimbering the
Consolidated Virginia shaft can work
only a few minutes at a time, and to do
this an- obliged to use immense quanti
ties of ice. They not on!}' swallow ice
water by the gallon, but also pour it over
each other by bucketsful. Without ice
nothing could be done in the heated low
er levels of our mines. When work was
first commenced on the Comstock, ice
was the last thine any one would have
thought of as Decessary for mining, and
not a few looked upon the furnishing of
ice water to miners as a hit of exirava
gance. Alany stockholders thought it
was a luxury that might be withheld
without inconvenience to any one: but
as the heat increased it so- n became ap
parent that ice was a prime necessity.
Without ice the drinking water would
soon attain a temperature equal to that of
the air—from 110 to 130 degrees—and'
men cannot be expected to swallow wa
ter that is almost boiling hot.— Virginia

^Personal.
Love me not a little: 1 will share with none.
Love me, if you love me. as earth loves the sun.
Unto whom she ever turns a happy face.
Glad of his warm kisses, proud of his embrace.
As the dew-dank roses for the daybreak yearn.
So when I am absent, long for my return.
As glad birds at sunrise sing unconsciously.
Let thy heart sing softly when 1 come to thee.
As flowers brighten dewdrops. dewdrops sweet

Let our hours together, be our sweetest hours.
Love me not a little: love me all or none.
If you love me, love me as earth loTes the sun.

An Important Decision.—The Su
preme Court of Louisiana has made a
decision which settles in that State an
important commercial and legal ques
tion. The point decided is that Congress
has not the right to prescribe rules of
evidence for the courts of a State, and
therefore a note or mortgage need not he
stamped to be admissible in evidence in
the courts of Louisiana.
The Chief Justice delivering the opin
ion of the court in the case under adjudi
cation, and in which the question was in
volved, said: “The whole of this dis
pute, to our minds, outside the real ques
tion, is, whether any United States in
ternal revenue stamps whatever must be
affixed to a note or mortgage in order to
make it competent evidence in our State
courts. Our convictions are very clear
that none are necessary.”
The funny man of the St. Louis Post,
endeavoring by the force of imagination
to keep cool while the mercury in the
thermometer is boiling away up in the
nineties, says: “As we loll back in our
easy chair and watch the wonderful
tracer}' of the frost upon the windows,
and listen to the merry clang of the
sleigh bells, we catch ourselves calculat
ing whetUer those icicles on the eaves
will reach down to the windows or not.’’
While he thus meditates, the following
ditty is wafted on the sultry air:
There’s a land that Is cooler than this.
Where it’s not broiling hot all the day,
Where the mercury don't always sizz,
But that cool, pleasant land's far away—
Far away, far away,
Oh. that cool, pleasant land's far away.
The total amount in currency outstand
ing June 30,1800, was $208,102,477, all
of which was State bank circulation.
The amount t utstanding on the 30th of
June, 1878, was as follows:
State Bank circulation t 42S>,5M 00
National Bank circulation 324,514,248 00
Demand notes S 2 - 29 ’ 50
Legal tender notes 346,681,016 00
One and two years’ notes of 1863.. 90,485 00
Compound interest notes 52
Fractional currency 16,547.768 77
Total amount in currency >688.597,275 27
According to this statement, the value
of the paper dollar as compared with
coin on July 18, 1878, was 94 4-10 cents,
and the value of the currency in gold was
$684,405,691 62. So says the AVashing
ton authority who furnishes the above
table for publication.
