‘•Some of the Ohio prohibitionists join

Supervising Architect Hill tells a rather

It was thought when David Davis re

He is looking for another political open

The California wheat crop is moving
towards Liverpool over the Southern Pa

Congressman Blackburn favors an an

What kind of a verdiet is to be expected
from the jury in the case of Polk, the Ten
nessee defaulter? Each member of the
jury admitted that he knew nothing about
the case, and some of them had never
heard of it when called on to act as
jurors. Before this jury was obtained, it
was thought there was hardly an intelli
gent man in the United States who had
net heard of Polk’s defalcation. Perhaps,
however, these jurymen do not come
under the head of intelligent men.
Americans visiting and residing in Lon
don have another cause of complaint
against Minister Lowell. For twenty-live
years it has been the practice of Ameri
cans in London to celebrate the 4th of
July with a dinner. The custom is for
the American Minister to preside at the
dinner. This year Mr. Lowell declined on
the ground that he had accepted an invi
tation to be present at a farewell dinner
given to Henry Irving, the actor. The
4th of July dinner did not take place. Mr.
Lowell has proved bis unfitness for the
position he holds on a good many occa
sions.
Mr. Warton Barker, of Philadelphia, is
succeeding in thrusting himself into con
siderable prominence. He first appeared
as the author of that remarkable scheme
to distribute the surplus cash in the
Treasury among the States. He now pre
sents himself in another role. According
to his story he brought about Garfield's
nomination at Chicago. He declares that
he knows of his own personal knowledge,
as the lawyers say. that Garfield did not
hetray John Sherman. Mr. Barker, how
ever, does not say how he knows
ibis, but after exciting the curiosity of
the public, shrewdly announces that be
intends to write a book giving a history of
she whole matter. The public will lose
interest in the subject if Mr. Barker
doesn’t hurry up his book.
The Strike of the Telegraphers.
The telegraph ojierators, liefore they
abandoned their instruments, thought
that the strike would be of short duration.
They still entertain the idea that the
trouble will be adjusted in a very short
time. It is to be hoped that they are not
mistaken in their view of the situation.
It is, no doubt, a fact that comparatively
few of them are prepared for a long period
of idleness. As a class, they live pretty
close up to their earnings, and the
loss of their regular monthly wages means
a deprivation of various accustomed com
forts and, perhaps, suffering. There are
no indications yet that the telegraph com
panies will yield to any of the demands
of the strikers. Indeed, the companies
appear to lie as firm in their refusal to
make any concessions now as they have
lieen at any time. Jay Gould is the con
trolling spirit of the Western Union, and
his whole career proves that there will be
no weakening on his part as long as he
has the least chance of sustaining him
self. Thus far the companies have suc
ceeded in carrying on their business bet
ter than they expected. Hundreds
of operators, whose existence was
hardly suspected, have made ap
plication for employment and have
been accented. Students in telegraphy,
and men who have been discharged for
incompetency have been put in charge of
instruments. Operators of this kind may
do for this season of the year, when there
is not great activity in commerce and
comparatively little news of importance
to be distributed. In a month, however,
the demand for skilled operators will be
almost imperative. It is useless to deny
that business interests have been dis
turbed by the strike. In many places
'little inconvenience has been experi
enced, but in the great trade centres there
has been marked disturbance. In Chicago,
for instance, sales in the provision
and grain markets about ceased, and
prices were visibly affected on the day the
strike began. These disturbances will be
still greater when the busy season begins
unless, in the meantime, the companies
succeed in supplying the places of the
strikers. Just now, the sympathy of the
public, to a very marked extent, is with
the strikers. The general impression is
that they are overworked and underpaid.
Whether this impression is correct, it is
not now necessary to discuss. Whether
public sympathy will remain with the
strikers is uncertain. If the companies
are able to resist the demands of the
strikers there will undoubtedly be cries of
distress and appeals tor aid from the suf
ferers. There may even be exhibitions of
violence, though lawlessness of any kind
is hardly to be expected from the class of
men who compose the Brotherhood of
Telegraphists. In the event of distress
or violence, or serious interruption of busi
ness, the public will likely forget that the
strike has a cause, and that, perhaps, the
cause is, in a measure, just. Only
the existing condition of affairs'
will be remembered, and . popular
judgment may condemn the
strikers. What the strikers hoped for
originally, and what they hope for now,
is not a full concession of their demands,
but a compromise. They asked for more
than they expected to obtain. A care
fully compiled statement shows that if
their present demands were complied
with the expenses of the companies would
eventually be increased about three and a
half millions of dollars. This sum would
not come out of the profits of the compa
nies. It would be paid by those who use
the telegraph wires. Rates would
be increased to meet the increased
expenses. The result would be
that the number of messages would
decrease and the demand for the services
of operators would decline. Competition
then, perhaps, would force salaries to a
lower point than they are now. In what
ever light the situation is viewed difficul
ties seem to threaten the operators.
'l’lie frequency of labor strikes is forcing
one thing on public attention. It is that
some way, other than by strikes, must be
agreed upon for settling labor troubles.
Strikes seldom result in permanent bene
fits to the strikers, but they do entail im
mense losses on business interests.
These losses sometimes aggre
gate millions of dollars. Eventually
the National Legislature will have to deal
with these constantly occurring labor
troubles. In fact, a committee of the
Senate already has the matter under con
sideration.
There is one thing that ought not be
lost sight of in the present strike. It is
that the telegraph companies cannot shirk
their responsibility to the public. They
have certain valuable privileges, and in
return they are bound to transmit mes
sages promptly and correctly. They can
not plead a want of operators, because all
the operators necessary can be had by
paying them their price. The public has
nothing to do with the question of the
compensation of the operators. That is a
matter wholly between the companies and
their employes.
Cullure the South’s Safeguard.
Whether it be true or not that the op
portunities for the making of what are
known as self-madme en are fewer now
than they .were a generation ago, it is
none tho less certain the men of influence
in the South in the future, as in the past,
will be the men of culture. While
it is true that many college graduates in
the battle of life cut but a sorry figure, it
cannot be denied that the cultured man
has advantages that the untutored does
not possess. The mistake made by most
college bred men is that they feel
it beneath them to engage in any
business outside of the walks of the
learned professions. As a result the ranks
of the shyster lawyers, pseudo doctors
and ill-equipped theologians are constant
ly recruited to the prejudice of these no
ble callings. The average recruit
to the several professions despairing of em
inence is content with mediocrity. He
relaxes his study and draws unsparingly
on the little capital of culture he has
accumulated.
There is no reason why the possessor
of a college degree should not follow the
plow, weigh groceries, or measure off
calico. However great one's native in
telligence, it loses nothing by culture.
The mission of the young men of the
South is hard work, whether it be directed
toward winning profit out of the fields, or
wherever else industry may be directed.
But every boy should seek to acquire the
fullest measure of cult ure within his reach.
The South’s older influence upon Federal
affairs was due to the fact that most of
her statesmen were men trained in the
best schools. Her supremacy will be re
stored, if for no other reason, because
within her borders what is distinctively
American is destined to abide longest.
We need educated men to direct
every branch of our social and
industrial life. Such men are wanted in
our Legislatures, in our counting rooms,
in our factories, in our workshops, in our
fields. It may be years ere the need is
supplied, but it will be met, and to hasten
tlfb time when it will not be felt should be
the aim and effort of every Southerner.
Years may elapse ere this section is
peopled to the extent that it will admit
of, but the time will come when the at
tractions of the South for the immigrant
will be recognized. The men who will
rule the South, then will not lack
influence. Shall those men be the prog
eny of the true Southerner or the new
comer who may crowd our posterity aside ?
If our children are trained, the doubt will
be dispelled.
The New York World says that the
telegraphers’ strike was unfortunate for
the operators, because when it occurred
the Western Union committee were pre
pared to listen to their complaints and to
mike concessions. This statement of the
World was probably news to the tele
graphers. The New York Post, on the
other hand, says that telegraphers hurt
their interests by delaying the strike
twenty-four hours, because it enables the
companies to partially prepare for it. We
have seen no announcement by the Wes
tern Union committee that they were pre
pared to make concessions.
John L. Hechmer, Supreme Treasurer
of the Catholic Knights of America, the
telegraph informs us, has left for Europe.
The statement would not be of any par
ticularinterest were it not supplemented
with the information that Mr. Hechmer is
“short" SoO,OOO or SOO,OOO in his accounts,
and that his bond for $50,000 is irregular.

The real witnesses, the Jay Goulds, the

The Republican press is just now want

are doing that service for Mr. Tilden now.
They Can’t See It,
Boston Post.
Under the Scott law about $1,800,000
have been paid into the Ohio treasury by
liquor dealers. To remind the average
Ohio prohibitionist of this is like flaunt

To say that it is a “tax” and not a “li

prohibitionists do not see.

The Vienna Press shows, by careful
figuring, how far more fatal disease
usually is to the soldier in war than
wounds. In the Crimea 10,000 out of
20,000 English succumbed to diseases; in
the Rnsso-Turkish war whole divisions
were swept off by cholera. In 1866 the
Prussian army lost 6,427 men from
cholera, against 4,450 on the field. In
1870-1 the Germans lost 12,000 men by
disease, less than half those who fell in
battle, but the sanitary arrangementshad
never been so good.

their friends within the sacred building

Noi>ody would-say that these are men of

The death of Edward Spenser, the au
thor ot Chanfrau’s “Kit,” in Baltimore
the other day, recalls the recent history
of that now famous play. It was written
for Chanfrau but did not please him, and
all his friends to whom he read it were
unanimous in pronouncing it “vile rot.”
The comedian put it aside and was sev
eral times on the point of
consigning the manuscript to
the flames, but some circumstance or
other always prevented him from doing so,
At last he determined to try the chances
with the public, when its success was
instantaneous. For years past Chanfrau
has apjieared in "Kit” almost exclusively,
and has made a large fortune from the
profits accruing from it. The superstition
of managers credits it with the power of
bringing good luck to an establishment,
I and for this reason Messrs. Tompkins &
I Hill, of the Boston Theatre, always pay
Chanfrau an extra price to open their sea
son with it. At any rate, “Kit” has
proved a Mascot for Chanfrau.

“She thirsted for one fond look—she
starved for a kiss denied,” says Ella
Wheeler in one of her poems.’ Poor
thing! In these days when “fond looks”
are flying all about from every street

i anybody knows where they are wanted, it
is too bad. We have heard of “starving
'to death in the midst of plenty.” This

their tones to nature's mighty orchestra,

a young man in a brown straw hat.
“Wa'U, that’s according to what you buv.

A DANSEUSE AT WEST POINT.
How Fanuy Ellsler Danced by Moon
light Before Sentry Cadets.
<B’l. Louis Globe-Democrat.
At the time I was a cadet Fanny Ells
ler, the celebrated danseuse, visited the
Academy. She was accompanied by M.
I Sylvester, and one evening they visited
the encampment and were greatly amused
; at a stag dance, which the boys improvised
for the occasion. Cadet Pierre Dubois
and others on guard duty were prevented
from seeing the celebrated “Maitresse du
! Ballett,” and were much chagrined at their
ill luck. It happened that Dubois had what
! was known as Post 4, which was at the
extremity of the grounds, where there
was little danger ot beins? reported for
neglect of duty. The fair Fanny remained
until “taps” and all lights were out. It
was a bright moonlight night, and her
way to the hotel lay along the gravel walk
past Dubios’ post. He saw her approach
ing and a bright thought struck him.
"Halt! who comes there?” cried Dubois,
in blood-curdling tones.
“Does Monsieur speak to us?” tremb
lingly asked M. Sylvester.
“Advance, and give the countersign,”
growled the sentry, bringing his piece
down to a charge.
The gallant escort took to his heels and
tied ingloriously, leaving the trembling
Fanny before the terrible man of war.
“Ze countersign? Vat is dat?” she
asked.
“The passe parole,” answered the senti
nel.
“Helas! I have it not. I will send to
the Commandant, and my servant shall
bring it to you, demain, in the morning.
“Madame!” thundered Dubois, “have
you dared to attempt to pass my post
without the countersign?”
“Oh, sare, I did not know.”
During this time the other sentinels
knew that something was up, and, desert
ing their posts and enveloped in their huge
guard cloaks, ranged themselves along
side of Dubois, and encouraged him to
carry on the joke. He immediately in
dulged in a lengthy harangue upon the
terrible nature of her crime, and ended
by informing her that death was the pen
alty then and there.
‘■'Mais, Monsieur, s’il rous plait do you
know me? Je suis Mdlle. Ellsler, la
pauvre Ellsler."
Thinking she saw the effect of her dec
laration, she continued in an impassioned
way:
“Otiz, Moiisieur je suis la jolie, gayeuse
Fannie, je rous assure."
“Madame,” replied Dubois, “by making
any terms, accepting any excuse for your
crime, I render myself liable to court mar
tial and instant death; but there is one
condition, and one only,whereby you may
atone for your offense against tiie flag of
my country and save your wretched life.”
"Mais le condition, le condition. I will
perform it.”
“And that is that you will here, in this
solemn presence, within sight of yon
gleaming monument of the Polish chief
tain, dance the CracocienMe.
“Nacre, porte, mon Dieu! (Pest impossi
ble!" cried the indignant Fanny.
“Then die, proud female!”
“But, Messieurs, I would dance aver
plaisir, mais, vare is de orchestra, de
trombone, de flute, de feedle? 1 cannot
dance widout de mustque."
“The music shall be provided, madame;
I will whistle.”
"Jamais, jamais, monsieur," she cried,
trembling with indignation and fright.
“Then,” cried Dubois, “you know the
awful penalty; prepare for your doom.”
The guards gathered around' in a ghostly
way, while Dubois brings his piece down
to a ready.
“Ah me! gentilhommes, I will dance.”
The guns were stacked, and with diffi
culty Dubois brought his mouth to a
pucKerand whistled the cracoviewne, while
the graceful Fanny, lifting her skirts to
keep them from off the dew, with infinite
grace executed the pirouette. When she
had given the last kick and was about to
retire, they called for the cachuca. Just
then “Second relief, turn out!” cried the
corporal of the guard, as he brought the
butt of his musket down to awaken the
guard. Instantly the sentinels ran to
their posts, and Fanny started for the ho
tel like a frightened deer. On the way
she met M. Sylvester at the head of a mob
of waiters armed with brooms, mops and
pokers. She explained that his gallantry
might have been shown earlier in the eve
ning, and turned the crowd toward the
hotel. It is said that the partv left before
daylight.
VICTORIA'S VAGARIES.
Eccentricity Hut Another Name for Her
Insanity.
New York Special.
A London letter to the N««* dated July
3, published to-day, says: The statement
long expressed in hypocritical signs, up
lifted, mournful eyes, suppressed inter
jections, whispered with bated breath,
veiled in metaphor or clad in wary dis
guise, is now coldly, calmly, openly, dis
passionately discussed by partisans as
well as foes, by flatterers and scoffers.
■ The mind of the Queen, not her body, is
I affected. Her eccentricities have taken
1 unto themselves a name which is only a
synonym for insanity. The lurking taint
in the Hanoverian blood bursting out
afresh in some wiki freak, seems to have
unmistakably overtaken the Queen.
The more or less harmless manias in
which during a long reign Queen Victoria
has allowed herself to indulge unchal
lenged—theatric fancies, sudden caprices,
unreasoning dislikes, unconquerable ob
stinacy, of which so many testimonials ex
ist—seem to have culminated at last in a
serious, protracted, undisguisable attack
of melancholy, a monomania of seclusion,
sadness and fear, which it is idle now to
color with any other motive. It is not in
disrespect that one is justified in attribut
ing this last outburst to the death of the
favorite gillie. To one so selfish the
smallest attractions in daily habits be
come important. History has already
registered in its pages the au
thenticated fact that Queen Victoria
gazed with favor on the face of her ser
vant in the fond delusion that she could
trace on his square, Scotch, broad linea
ments some resemblance to the slightly
Bourbon outlines of Prince Albert’s fea
tures. The disruption of this second all
. but wifely communing was a cruel shock.
The consequences of it were so alarming
j that the effects of a very slight, almost
j illusory accident were magnified into a
! serious and dangerous sprain, so as to ac
count to the public for the withdrawal of
| the sovereign from all intercourse, and
j her absolute seclusion from any eyes, save
1 those of her entourage, and her abstention
from public duties, except the compulsory
I and mechanical wholesale signing of state
I papers. She has been conveyed from Wind
sor to Osborne, thence to Balmoral, and
back to Windsor, in profound and mys
terious isolation. Her movements are
shrouded in impervious secrecy. All pre
cautions against intrusion are strictly
and jealously taken, and the stringent ne
cessity of a perfect change of scene and
surroundings .urgently impressed upon
the nation.

What is this ?
An intelligent jury, darling.
But these men who look like ignorant
and vicious loafers ?
They are jurors, dear.
And that wild-eyed chucklehead in the
middle?
Sh! he is the foreman.
Why is he made foreman?
Because he knows less than the others
My ! But what is a jury for?
A jury, my precious, is a body of men,
good and true, who decide questions of
justice for the people.
How is the question submitted?
Why, the lawyers talk and abuse wit
nesses, while the Judge and jurors take
a nap, and then the Judge is waked up bv
the clerk, and gives his charge.
And what is that?
As intelligent a summary of the laws
bearing on the question as he can impro
vise.
Well, after the poor Judge has delivered
his charse?
Why, then the jurors wake up, and go
off to decide the case.
But they have heard nothing of the evi
dence?
No.
Nor of the law?
No.
But is not that awful?
No, it makes no difference.
Gracious! Why?
Because they could understand neither
if they did hear.
But you said this was the way the jury
did if no one had “fixed” them ?
Yes, sweet.
How is a jury “fixed?”
That is a secret.
Well, when a jury is “fixed,” how is the
verdict?
Immensely satisfactory.
Always?
Always.
To whom ?
To the side that did the fixing.
If I want any further information on
this subject, to whom shall I go?
To Mr. Ingersoll, dear.

SIGNIFICANT SPRING.
A Dissertation Upon Its Advent, and
Its Effect Upon Mankind.
“The green leaf of the new come Spring."—
Shale.
Everybody recognizes spring, when it is
once upon us, but many persons are not
familiar with the exact date of its appear
ance. Webster, the world-renowned lexi
cographer gives us a definition, which
may not be inappropriate here. “Spring,”
says he, “is the season of the year when
plants begin to vegetate and'rise; the
vernal season, comprehending the months
of March, April and May, in the middle
latitudes north of the equator.”
Thomson, in his “Seasons,” and Shake
speare in many of his works, have, per
haps, no peers in describing it, and yet
“etherial spring” is freighted with mala
ria, “that insidious foe, lurking unseen in
the very air we breathe.” It spreads over
the fairest portions of our land; brings
death and disease to thousands; cuts off
scores upon scores of our children and
youth, as well as those in advanced life.
A pestilence is regarded with little less
apprehension, and people everywhere are
asking, “what is it?” “Where does it
come from?” “What will cure it?”
Kidney-Wort, as a Spring Medicine.
When you begin to lose appetite; have
a headache, a pain in your side, back and
shoulders; to toss about at night in rest
less dreams; wake in the morning with a
foul mouth and furred tongue; feel disin
clined to go about your work, heavy in
body and oppressed in mind; have a tit of
the blues; when your urine gets scanty
or high colored; to suffer with constipa
tion, diarrhoea, or indigestion; have a
pasty, sallow face, dull eyes, and a
blotched skin; one or all of tAese common
complaints will certainly be evidence
that your liver is disordered, torpid, > ■
perhaps diseased. A bottle of Kidney
Wort is, under such circumstances,
priceless boon to such a person.
Bare assertions of proprietors have
come to possess less force than they fre
quently merit. The cause of this condition
of popular skepticism is, in the main, to
be found in the fact that charlatanism
covers our broad land. Meritorious arti
cles are too frequently found in bad com
pany.
The proprietors of Kidney-Wort always
prove all their assertions touching the
merits of their preparations. When we
affirm, therefore, that Kidney-Wort is a
specific for just such disorders as have
been mentioned in this article, the proof,
too, belongs to and shall follow this state
ment.
A Physician’s Experience.
Dr. R. K. Clark, a regular physician of
extensive practice in Grand Isle county,
and a worthy deacon of the Congregational
Church, at South Hero, Vt., has used
Kidney-Wort for several years in his
practice, and before the present proprie
tors purchased an interest in it, he had
given his unbiased opinion in its favor.
This opinion has not changed. It has clone
better than any other remedy 1 have ever
used,’' says the Doctor, and further on he
writes: “I do not recollect an instance
where the patient to whom I have given
it has failed to receive benefit from its
use, and in some severe cases most de
cidedly so.” These are strong words.
They are from a representative, conscien
tious, ever-approachable public citizen,
however, and—better still—they are true.
Kidney-Wort will bear all the enconi
miums lavished upon it by its friends—
and their name is legion. “I will swear
by Kidney-Wort all the time,” writes Mr.
J. R. Kauffman, of Lancaster, Pa. We
will supplement this by asserting, as a
matter of fact, and one capable of demon
stration, that all honest patrons of thin
remedy are its friends and advocates.

of a life-study, and is obliged to keep six lady
assistants, to help her answer the large correspondence

Vegetable Compound is a medicine for good and nol
evil purposes. I have personally investigated it anc
am satisfied of the truth of this.
On account of its proven merits, it is recommended
and prescribed by the best physicians in the country.
One says: “It works like a charm and saves much
pain. It will cure entirely the worst form of falling
of the uterus, Leucorrhcea, irregular and painful
Menstruation, all Ovarian Troubles, Inflammation and
Ulceration, Floodings, all Displacements and the con
sequent spinal weakness, and is especially adapted to
the Change of Life.”
It permeates every portion of the system, and gives
new life and vigor. It removes faintness, flatulency,
destroys all craving for stimulants, and relieves weak
ness of the stomach. It cures Bloating, Headaches,
Nervous Prostration, General Debility, Sleeplessness,
Depression and Indigestion. That feeding of bearing
down, causing pain, weight and backache, is always
permanently cured by its use. It will at all times, and
under all circumstance.-, act in harmony with the law
that governs the female system.
It costs only fl. per bottle or six for $5., and is sold by
druggists. Any advice required as to special :' ses. and
the names of many who have been restored to perfect
health by the use of the Vegetable Compound, can be
obtained by addressing Mrs. P., with stamp for reply,
at her home in Lynn, Mass.
For Kidney Complaint of either sex this compound it
unsurpassed as abundant testimonials show.
“ Mrs. Pinkham s Liver Pills,” says one writer, “ are
the best in the world for the cure of Constipation.
Biliousness and Torpidity of the liver. Her Blood
