Forty cart loads of information, in the
shape of public documents, have been dis

all this information themselves, of course.
They will parcel it out among their ad

constituents will feel gratified and will
proceed to make waste paper out of the
bulky volumes.
A Western paper says the Republicans
are try ing to make a present of Dorsey to
the Democrats, it advises the Republi
cans to hold <>n to hint because they may
need him la-fore long. Attention is called
to the fact that an attempt was made to
drive Garfield out of his party in IMS for
alleged crookedness, but that later on he
became extremely valuable to his party.

It seems that the prospect that anew

ed Kimball House agree to lease the pro
posed new house at a rental that will pay
ground rent, insurance, taxes and six
per cent, on the cost of the building. The
amount required is $300,000. Ihe lxioks

build a larger aud finer hotel than the one

The Nashville American wants to know
“now it would do to elect Postmasters bn
ballot iu each community?” The imme
diate occasion for the question is the
immense patronage wielded by the Post
Office Department at Washington and the
impossibility of any one, who does not lie
long to the dominant party, getting a posi
tion in any post office. It will probably
be admitted that as a rule the post offices
of the country are supplied with good
Postmasters and that the post office busi
ness is conducted systematically -ml sat
isfactorily. It is extremely doubtful if
the American's plan would lie an improve
ment. Local politics do not bring the best
and most competent men to the surface.
Dorsey is in danger. His confessions
may get him into trouble. The Repuldi
eans entertain a bitter feeling towards
him, and w ill not hesitate to attack him
in any way that offers. There is a statute
in Indiana which provides that any one

nected t> ith the buying of votes in that
state sliaU. on conviction, lie punished by
imprisonment jn the* penitentiary not
more than five aJ not less than one
year. The statute also provides a
flue.’ The Judge of the Criminal Court
of fcpbanapolis is now looking n t , the
matter. He already has witnesses who will
swear that Dorsey gave them money to
brilie voters, and it is not improbable
that Dorsev will be Indicted next month.

Insurance Hates and the Average
* Clause.
It is to be hoped that the differences be
tween the business men of this city and
the fire insurance companies represented
in this -tate will be si>eedily and satisfac
torily adjusted. The committee appointed
by tbe cotton, naval stores and rice
interests held a meeting yes
terday. and forwarded to our repre
sentatives in the Legislature a
personal letter, asking them to use their
utmost endeavors to have the law repealed
which requires foreign companies, before
thev can obtain a license to do business
in this State, to deposit with the State
Treasurer $25,000in bonds. The grievances
of the business men are that the rates of
insurance are too high, and that what is
know n as the average clause, now insist
ed upon by the insurance companies,
forces them to take out more insurance
than the amount ot their property justi
fies. They believe that the repeal of the
law above mentioned will invite competi
tion and result in lowering the rates and
abolishing the average clause. There
does not seem to lie any good
reason why the law should not
lie aliolished. It serves no
particular purpose. It is not claimed, of
course, that the deposit affords such pro
tection to the insured ns is worth consid
ering. 'ome of the large companies have
risks in this city amounting, no
doubt. to hundreds of thousands
of dollars. If a great fire were to
occur the deposit of $35,000 would
lx? an insignificant sum compared
to their losses. The idea of the framers of
the law was. perhaps, to force the com
panies desiring to do business in the state
to show tiiat they were solid institutions.
Another idea probably was to save those
holding legally adjusted claims any
trouble in collecting their judgments.
These advantages. however, do
not offset the disadvantages of the law.
If we are rightly informed, the representa
tives ot the foreign companies in this city
are not anxious to have the law retained,
and a> tin-re are only three home compa
nies in the state, it doesn't seem as it the
opposition to it- repeal could lie very
strong. The law would, perhaps,
1m- leM objectionable if our mer
chants could send abroad for
their insurance. I’he insurance laws are
so strietlv drawn, how ever, that a move
ment of that kind would be attended with
so many difficulties as to lie hardly ad
visable.'
It is not absolutely certain, of course,
that the repeal of the law would result in
bringing tie- relief which the business in
terests seek. The increased rates and
the average clause were the work of the
southeastern Tariff Association. It is
dirtiiilt to see how the companies, as long
as they recognize that association, can
avoid obeying it' edit'. It is stated that
the Board of Underwriter* of this city is
not in sympathy with the Association,
and it is also stated that the representa
tives of the foreign companies vest* r
day advised their respective compa
nies by mail against the increased rates
and the average clause. If the companies
return a favorable response the existing
trouble will Is' solved whether the Legis
lature repeals tin* $35,000 law or not. It is
not improbable that I hi- agents advised
this course in expectation of favorable ac
tion by the Legislature. With that law
out of the way the probabilities are that
other companies would send agents into
the state, and a* lively competition
would do much towards lowering rates.
The average clause is particularly ole
noxious. The committee was assured in
a conference with the bank Presidents
yesterday that in making loans on pro
perty the banks would require 50 i r
cent, more insurance w here there was an
average clause in the policy than if the
policy covering the property contained no
average clause. To pay for this additional
insurance is a hardship that is difficult to
bear patiently.
lioiil Coleridge.
Lord Coleridge, Chief Justice of Eng
land. arrived in New York yesterday.
He visits this country as the guest of the
American Bar. His name is an honored
one in England, it being largely associated
with the legal and religious history of
that country during the last century, sir
John Taylor Coleridge, the father of the
Lord Chief Justice, was a Judge
of the Court of the Queen’s Bench from
1*35 to 185 b, and retired full of honors to
enjoy tor twenty years the grow th of the
splendid reputation of his son. Lord
Coleridge was born in and graduated
as.Master of Arts at Oxford University
in 1*46. He won a brilliant reputation as
a scholar while at tbe University, which
hel|ied him at the bar. His fath
er had many and influential friends,
and they lent him a helping
hand. Jn 1855 he was elected to the
Recordershlp of J’ortsmouth, and in 1-01
he reached the rank of Queen’s Counsel,
in I-*mi he was elected to Parliament, and
in 1868 was made Solicitor General. In
1871 he was appointed Attorney General.
In that position he became known to the
whole world in connection with the cele
brated Tiehborne trial. In November, 1*73,
he was honored with the appointment of
Lord Chief Justice of the Common Pleas,
and the next year was raised to the Peer
age.
Death of Count tie Chanibortl.
Count de Chatnbord, who has been sick
a long w hile and whose death has lieen
expected f<>, tome time, died at Frohs
dorf, near Vienna, at quarter past
seven o'clock yesterday morning. He was
the representative of the elder branch of
the French Bourt.or. dynasty. He was
born in Paris, beptemlier a>, I*2o, seven
months after the assassination of his
father. Prince Charles Ferdinand d'Artois.
Duke de Berry. He took the name of
Count <le Chambord from an estate of
that name. He lived in exile in Austria,
Spain and Italy until be was twenty-five
years of age wt.ei) he took up his resi
dence in London. He had a large fortune
and lived in fine style. In I*sl he inser
ted Frobsdorf. where he almost continu
ously resided until his death. Hi- clung
to the Bourbon theory of the divine right
of Kings to the last, and firmly rejected
all overtures at reconciliation with the
house of < trleans at the expense of his
principles. He maintained his right to
the threce of France w i*h quiet dignity.
If Dr. Freirc’s report ot the finding of
yellow fever microbii mingled with the
soil where |M..rsons w ere buried who died
with that disease, twelve months after
burial is sustained by the facts,
it is a discovery that should en
gage the immediate attention of all citi
zens and boards of health in those locali
ties liable to lie visited by that dread dis
ease, The discovery would at once ac
count for the recurrence of the scourge
in many instances and jmint out the
method of prevention. If the iwicrobii
are * found there one year after
the interment ol the Imdies, • what
assurance ha\e we that they
are not to la* found there many years af
ter? As living organizisms, whether min
eral or vegetable, their prodigious
increase is equally certaiu with thc-ir
adaptation to transplanting in any con
genial soil. I>r. Frcire's experiments
seem to afford evidence of tile truth of his
announcement, ajid the world will owe
him a debt ot g.ajitude not easily dis
charged, if his patient iuvesugiUtiji shall
point out an effectual method of avoiding i
visitations of the dreaded disease.

While there is no room to question the
honorable intentions of the gentleman
lrom Massachusetts who left the sum of
nearly a million dollars to the govern
ment with which to pay off the national
debt, his method is hardly the best. The
best wav to pay off the national debt is to
reduce the waste and extravagance which
prevail in government, and the only way
to do this is to put an end to the rule of
the party of waste and extravagance.

California’s wheat crop for the present

One-third of will be retained in the

Pacific coast states and Territories will

value of the total wheat crop ot the Pa

the entire value of all the precious metals

North Carolina has a female Enoch
Arden. About ten years ago the wife of
James Price, of Goldsboro’, tried to in

not, and she removed to Baltimore, taking
the children with her. They corresponded
awhile, Mr. Price living in the town of
Clayton, alone. Not hearing from his
wife for seven or eight years, he married
a second wife about three months ago.
Last week wife No. 1 went to Clayton,
thinking she could induce her husband to
accompany her back to Baltimore, now
that she had accumulated some property.
She heard of his second marriage and did
not go to his house, but stopped with a
neighbor. He went over to see her. and a
scene followed. She told him she would
return to her home and leave him undis

An English gentleman, in the Galves
ton News, thus amusingly hits off one of
the minor annoyances of traveling in the
West: “I’m much pleased,” he says,
“with the country, and very much enjoy
traveling in it, but do you know that your
railroad eating-house system is very an
noying? Just as a man sits down and
persuades himself into a nap, a negro
comes along, shakes him, and says: ‘Sup
per at Catfish?’ You tell him yes, and
arouse yourself. You are, of course, very
hungry’ and every time the train stops
you exjiect to hear someone shout ‘Cat
tish, twenty minutes for supper;’ but the
train rolis on. After a while the negro
that aroused you comes along and you
say. “How far is it to Cattish?’ 'Sail!'
‘How far is it to Cattish?’ • 'Bout twenty
five miles, sah.' ‘What made you arouse
me hack yonder?' ‘Wanted to know
whuder yer wanted supper, so I could
telegrahii ahead. Da only cooks what’s or
dered, salt.’ Twenty miles to a hungry
man is a longdistance, and you 101 l around
with a cigar awhile and finally drop off’ to
sleep. After a while awake anil wait for
the train to get to the station. The negro
comes through again. -How far is it to
Catfish?' ‘Sail!’ -1 asked you how far is
it to Catfish?' ‘We's dun passed dar,
sah.’ ‘Why didn’t you wake me-?’ ‘'Cause
yer got mad when I woke yer afo’, sail.’”

I.OUISYILLE'S BIG SHOW
Incidents Which arc Attendant with the
Progress of the Exposition.
Correspondence of the Morning hews.
Louisville, August 21.—The proprie
tors of the Buckingham. Louisville's va
riety theatre, are determined to adver
tise themselves by a sensation, and they
have gone to match-making. A troupe of
midgets has been giving performances at
this temple of t,he Muses, and it is the
grand nuptial ceremony of two of these —
Major Mite and Miss Nail —which is to
take place a few evenings hence on the
stage. The managers are trying to repro
duce on a small scale the sensation that
Bartium got up for Tom Thumb’s mar
riage years ago. A bridal chamber of gor
geous pretensions is lieing fitted up in the
museum, and its furniture and decora
tions are entirely the volunteer contribu
tions of different firms in the city, one do
nating the carpets and curtains, another
the furniture, and still another the gas
fixtures and brackets. The bridal outfit
is to be contributed by a large furnishing
store, and the floral adornments are the
offerings of a conspicuous florist.
A prominent clergymen will perform
the ceremony on the stage of the theatre
and the Mayor and other city officials at
tend as honored guests. The Ohio and
Mississippi Railroad offers a special pal
ace ear for the bridal trip, and the wee
things start oft’ all alone to spend their
honeymoon in St. Louis. The Major is
not quite so large as Tom Thumb, and is
about 30, while the poor little bride is
several years older and looks like a con
sumptive kitten. Tbe odd little couple
spend the last days of their freedom in
frequently driving auri walking about the
city. The groom is a Russian, and the
bride a native of North Carolina, and they
are said to be the smallest couple ever ex
hibited.
The 8. A. K. Society closed its conven

THE CITY IS FILLED WITH SOUTHERN
VISITORS,
and naturally there is a joyful chink of
aggregated half-dollars in the Exposition
coffers. The rush that was predicted by
the first of September is sending in its ad
vance corps. Preparations are making
for a grand horticultural display, begin
ning August 38th, and lasting several
days. Two thousand dollars are to lie dis
tribnted in premiums, and entries are so- :
licited from all parts of the country. The j
supervisor of this department wishes, if
possible, to display as many as ten thou- j
sand plates on the horticultural tables. I
Heretofore the entries on Saturdays have j
been few in number, though fin - iii quali
ty. At night, after the display is over, i
the fruit is auctioned, and the" proceeds
divided between the Exposition manage
ment and the exhibitor. The prices
brought range from ten to twenty-five
cents per plate: tlie profits are then divid- j
ed with due care. It will be seen at once j
that the managers are being helped out of
financial difficulties with great rapidity, !
and the exhibitor Is growing enormously j
rich.
In the vestibule of the Art Gallery, un
der the shadow of the palm tree and
amongst the more ambitious flights of
sculptor and painter, is the little statue
“Morning-glory,’’ which has lieen dis
played once or twice in Louisville before
it came to liirlit in this collection. It is
one of the earlier productions of Joel T.
Hart, the Kentucky sculptor, who died a
year or two since in Florence, Italy, it
represents a little child with its lap'tilled !
with morning-glories, while in one hand it j
holds one of the blossoms, into which it
peers with lips apart, full of innocent
wonder at the mystery in the heart of the
flower. The loose dress has slipped from
one dimpled shoulder, and the blossoms i
have fallen from the clasp of its tiny fin- :
gers and lie at the bare feet. The sculp- j
tor lived to do some grand work, but in all I
his later creations he never caught the j
spirit ot the beautiful and gave it shape j
and form as in this exquisite child-poem
wrought in marble. There is nothing fair
er to be found in the soft glow of the crim
son curtains and the stained light that
falls upon this spot.
The contents of the Art Gallery have
been insured for the sum of $1,000,000, but
should anything happen to one of these
rare treasures money would seem a poor
compensation to the owner. It is stated
that when the Exposition is over this j
pretty building under the trees remains in
Mr. Dupont’s possession, he having made
that a stipulation when he allowed it to
be built in his park. Certainly a tire
proof picture gallery built of brick and
and stone, in a fanciful architectural
taste, and of dimensions such as this, is a ;
handsome trifle to remain as a souvenir of j
the hundred days.
THE NEWSPAPER PREMIUM ARTICLE
scheme is moving finely to the front. The
date of awarding these prizes has been
extended to tbe 15th ot September, and
the time limited for the entry of competing
articles has also been extended one week
beyond tbe original date, All papers com
peting for the prizes containing articles
descriptive of the resources of their sec
tions must be trade issues and must be
sent before the 15th of September in num
bers between 100 and 500 to Mr. S. T.
.Jenkins in Louisville, who represents tfie
gentleman offering the premium, a well
known Georgia newspaper proprietor. In
the respective spaces in the Louisville
and Cincinnati Expositions, where these
papers are to be distributed, is
hung a lunge geological map of the
States of Georgia, Alabama, Florida,
and the contiguous portions of Tennessee
and Kentucky embraced within the area
of the Southeastern territory. On this
map are represented all the prominent
cities and towns, with their population
and elevation, railroads, mines and all
prominent natural features of the coun
try. Fac similes of tips map, which will
bo furnished to newspapers making ap
plication to Mr. Jenkins, are to he in
serted in each paper whose articles enter
for competition. The design is unique in
conception and bears a certainty
of being carried to successful issues.
By the distribution of these pa
pers through the countless thousands
who will throng to these expositions this
fall, a circulation of more than half a
million conies will be insured and a
scheme thus strikingly brought to the at
tention of the multitudes who could not
he reached in any other manner. While
men are constantly leaving the crowded
centres of population and turning their
eyes to the far West, where they must en
dure the toil and privations and hardships
of a frontier life, the great Southeast, rich
in undeveloped resources and hoarding ip
her soil, her mines and her forests the
wealth of fqture millions, lies like anew
Eldorado waiting some resolute hand to
unlock her giant forces and coin her hid
den treasure into visible gold.
CoYle Douglas.
A Mocking Hird tlit Dlod of Grief.
h'aMM City Timt*.
A strange story is related by the friends
of Robert Potee, the gambler, who com
niitted suicide here a tew days since.
About six years ago the wife of the dead
man was given a mocking bird, which in
time became very much attached to Mr.
Potee. When the news of her husband’s
suicide reached Mrs. Potee, at
it oeemud to have very much the same
effect upon the bird as it had upon her,
The hird apparently mourned with her.
When she prepared to leave Atchison the
little fellow screeched as if in pain, so
loud as to be heard a block away. In
Kansas City the bird refused to eat, and
tlew from room to room at all hours until
the dav when Potee vvas buried, then the
bird died, having apparently grieved to
death. A taxidermist is preparing the
bird to l>e placed over the grave of Potee.
