A publication has made its appearance in New \ ork booming Butler for the l’resid ncy and John 11. Reagan, of Texa-. for the Vice Presidency. Thi combinution may suit Butler, but it will hardly suit Reagan. The Boston JleraH says there is not a man in the State who knows what are Governor Butler's intentions regarding the Democratic nomination. If all report are true Butler doesn't know himself. Perhaps he is now making up his mind as lie roams the s.-a in his famous yacht. * Kansas has a statute which ought to Is adopted by every state in the Union.

If a lady who creates a sensation at a fashionable summer resort is happy, then Mrs. Rich, a handsome California bride, at present at Saratoga, ought to be happy. A Saratoga letter says that she is the talk of the town, all on account of a little black and tan dog. The dog cost stoo. and it- mistress has adorned-it with a pair of earrings worth $-2,000 and a gob! collar studded with emeralds worth $3,000. The Boston G’/'J* contains the informa tion that a mermaid was seen off thecoast of Main*- one day last week. According to the Glow's account the mermaid ap pcared three times on the top ot huge waves, showing to the crowd a head well crowned with long, heavy hair streaming over the shoulders and bosom, a pleasant face and long, muscular arms. No doubt the keeper of a summer resort on the Maine coast started this yarn to draw cus tomers. . It is not probable that Mahone will get much help Irom the Post < >ffice Depart ment while General Gresham is at the head of it. A Post Office Inspector named Geddings was advertised to speak at several Mahone meetings in Virginia. General Gresham told him he did not want to crush out his ambition, but that he couldn't do post office work and make Mahone speeches at the same time. This kind of talk depriveu Mahone of a cam paign orator. American history opened with the be ginning of the amalgamation of races, and it is probable that the process of race mixing will continue on to the develop ment of a true American nationality. The process of evolution in this direction is somewhat retarded by the continued in flux of foreigners through immigration, increasing too largely that element; but the climax of foreign immigration will lie reached in a few more decades; perhaps, in one more, when the public lands are exhausted, and the possibilities of thrift and fortune in the New World are reduced nearer to a level with the ad vantages of the Old. Assimilation must then more rapidly progress toward that zenith of development and power which are to determine the order of American civilization. “Hiding out" is what the Atlanta Con st itHtinn calls the act of concealing, under oath, property liable to be taxed under the laws of the State. The city of Atlanta alone, as’shown by the discrepancy in the county and State returns compared with those of the city, has “hid out" in this way the large sum of $3,500,000. This indicates that Georgia maybe an huudred millions or so better off than the tax books show. and also that the great gains exhibited in the recent assessment of taxes may have no higher signification than that the people are growing a little more honest in giving in be values of their property. This is certainly a gain to lie appreciated in a moral and financial point of view, bus is affording very liUe data for statistical information. The tricks of pension agents are being exposed. It is a wonder they haven’t been exposed long before this. The publi cation of the fight between General Boyn ton. a Washington correspondent, and one of these agents has resulted in making known a good many of their fraudulent practices. About the- boldest swindle tbat has yet come to light is thus described in a Washington sfiecial: “An agent wrote to one John Combs, of Montgomery. Vt., saying that lor $lO he would procure an increase of the man’s pension. No attention was paid to this letter, and a little while after an express package was received with $lO to be paid, and marked ‘C. O. I). : The unsuspect ing victim banded over the money, and on opening the bundle found a letter i saying that all previous communications having been ignored, the pension agent had taken this plan oi hearing Irom him and getting the money. The express eom panv would not return the $lO, and the Washington attorney cannot tie reached except by a tedious and exjiensive suit.*’ It would be interesting to know the amount the pension agents have illegally obtained from their victims since the i*en sion business began. General Durbin Ward’s Speech. The speech of General Durbin Ward, delivered at Galion. Ohio, last Saturday, extracts from which we publish this morning, in one respect, at least, may be considered as fairly opening the cam paign in Ohio. General Ward was Judge Hoadly's chief competitor for the Guber natorial nomination. He was tne candi date of Judge Thurman and that element oi the party which has heretofore guided the Democrats of Ohio. His failure to get the nomination was the occasion of considerable dissatisfaction at the time. General Ward, however, smoothed over ail difficulties by frankly accepting the decision of the nominating convention. He at once an nounced himself as a candidate for the United States senate. He has. therefore, an interest in the campaign other than the success of his party. He will lie regarded as speaking the view s of the Ohio Democrats or. national affairs. I and bis utterances, therefore, will attract very general attention. Those who read his Galion sjns-ch will find that he enter tains very pronounced views on what he regards the leading national issues, viz.: the tariff and civil service reform. Free trade, he says, is sustained by about all < *f the rii>e thinkers in political economy, but has not been so generally approved by statesmen. The protective idea does not depend -o much upon reason for its place in legislation, as upon influence and the difficulty of -adjusting the details of the tariffs t<> the standard of revenue.” He explains General Hancock's remark in is-* 1 , that the tariff w-as a local issue, in a way that robs the criticisms which which were made upon General Hancock at the time of tlieir jsiint. The greatest statesmen the country has produced— Webster and Ualhoun —at different times fa\ red protection and a revenue tariff : their respective sections hap|>en eted. Tiic legitimate inference from what G neral Ward said is that tiie great diffi culty in the way of securing a speedy re form of the tariff is local interests. Many i -•ngre**men who are advocates of a tariff for revenue weaken their influence by demanding protection for a local in terest. General Ward accepts the inci dental protection tariff plank of the Ohio Democratic platform, and comments on it in a way that can hardly fail to meet general approval. He says: “I fear the phrase *ll*oll for revenue only’ is very iiaide to mislead. It mas convey differ ent meanings to different minds, some may construe it as meaning that a reve nue tarifl should be so adjusti-d as that no •incidental protection’ should follow. This would involve levying duties on only such articles as could not come into competi tion with home production, for whenever that competition doe* arise, ‘incidental’ protection follows a tariff for reve nue. s„ch articles are too nar row a basis for revenue, and. by checking importation might defeat revenue entirely. When protection in cidentally follows a duty whose purpose is revenue barely, it would le refining too much to say that the unavoidable incident should not follow, though the article itself might Ik* a projter subject tor revenue.” The distinction which General Ward draws is this: The protectionists want a tariff for the purpose of protection, and regard a revenue as only incidental. The revenue reformers want a tarifl for revenue, and do not object to the incidental protection that must neces sarily follow. It is not improbable that the tarifl plank in the ! Ohio platform vvill be adopted with slight, if any, changes bv the national conven tion. Its discussion, therefore, will Ik* watched with unusual interest. On the question of civil service reform General Ward is outspoken and emphatic. He lielieves in reforming the civil service, but he doesn’t believe in the kind of re form that leaves all the offices in posses sion of the Republicans. When the Re publican party goes out of power the men who have been sustaining the party and have been doing the bulk of the party work ought to go with it. He doesn't favor leaving men in charge of the offices who will work to overthrow the party in power. General Ward’s views on this are pretty certain to meet with a sympa thetic response from a very considerable jiortion of the Democratic party. Decadence of Country Towns. Under this head the Boston Advertiser writes a prose elegy upon the town of Benson. Vermont, which celebrated its centennial anniversary on the 21st inst. Though established in 17X5. and reaching its zenith in 1630, its imputation noA'er ex ceeded 1.403, and has annually declined ever since, numlmring 1,104 at the date of its centennial. “Forty years ago,” says the Advertiser. “Benson Avas one of the flourishing tOAvns of the • < tate, but now it is a sleepy and almost lifeless vil lage. What an uneventful his tory it lias had can lie seen from the statement of the local historian, that the only events worth chronicling were the distressing epidemics of 1 .!H> and 1812. No great men have gone out from Benson. saAe the illustrious Dorsey of star-route fame, and his native city did not sufficiently appreciate his emi nence to invite him to participate in the celebration of its anniversary. “Benson.” concludes the Adrertth r, “is a fair sample of some of our New Eng land hill communities. Before the advent of railroads and improv ed transportation facilities they flourished. Their schools were crowded with children, each Sunday saw the church pews full, and an indus trious population sturdily wrested a liv ing from their rocky fields. But the con ditions are changed. The district schools have but two or three tow-headed pupils, the ministers have sought fairer flocks, the farm houses are deserted, while the young men and women form an increas ing procession to the cities, and the little graveyard is the only part of the town which grows in inijmr tanee and numbers. AVorse than the decrease in population, more saddening than the untilled farms and fruitless orchards, is the decay in mental vigor. Half a century ago those country towns ' were reservoirs of active manhood, gifted with an intelligence which was not local in its effects. There was an edge on the the country side then which made it piquant and full of courage. Now. this is decaying with the rest. The active bustle has given way to passive silence. There is reason for grave thoughts over such an anniversary as Benson celebrated yesterday. It marks decadence and loss, j Serenity is a beautiful attribute of age, but not when accompanied by impaired j strength and power.” AVhen Mr. Henry George was giving his testimony before the Senate Labor Com mittee last week be said: “If to-day you were to open a larire tract ot land near the city of New A'ork. you would rind a rush for it which would relieve every overcrowded trade.” .Senator Call, of Florida. put the following question to Mr. George: “How do you account for the fact that tn the Southern States there arc. and always have teen, great tracts of good agricultural land upon which people eannot l>e got to set tle?” Mr. George replied: “I can only account for that upon the theory that peo ple do not want to go to the South.” The fact is the question of Sena tor Call exposed Mr. George's ignor ance of what he was talking about. If people who are engaged in trade in-New Y'ork wanted to take up the occupation of farming, they would have no difficulty in finding land. The Sun says there is plenty of it on Long Island which can l>e had for a very small price per acre. There is certainly plenty in southern New Jersey, and there is any quantity in Georgia and Florida. The cost of reaching either Georgia or Florida by steamer is very small. Land in either can be had for almost nothing. The truth is, the jieople who are overcrowding the trades in New York and other cities do not want to go to the country. The statement is made that 850,000 tons of commercial fertilizers were used dur ing the past season, and that of this amount Georgia led the van with 125.000 tons. The Baltimore trade alone furnish ed 350,000 tons of the value of $10,000,000, being one million more than the entire trade of England in fertilizers for the vear 1882. ci rrfat comment Xot A Chronic Disorder.

The War Department has just issued an order intended to prevent the duplica tion of pay vouchers, a method by which military gentlemen now-a-days are wont to raise the wind. It, however, fails to hit at the root of the evil It merely cautions post traders and others against negotiating officers' pay accounts.whereas it should have laid down the rule that “ante" shall not exceed a quarter, and that no officer shall “come in” on less than “a pair.” Campaign I.ie*. Missouri Republican { Pen .... It seems the campaign of lies has not yet closed in Ohio, and as the resources of the native experts are al>out exhausted, tiie Republican managers are beginning to import aeboieelot of liars from Indiana to keep the work lively. Indiana has an accomplished lot of rascals in that line, Gut it will take something more than lying to make Ohio Republican this year. Money might do the work, but, unless the current reports are at fault, there insn’t half enough money at the command of the Ohio Republicans to buy the Btate. .Just the Truth. Buffalo Courier r Pent. . The Presidential frauds have done for Mr. Tilden what the Presidency itself could hardly do for any man. Asa pri vate citizen lie has remained one of the most conspicuous figures in American politics. The Democratic party lias other distinguished leaders not inferior to Mr. Tilden in statesmanship and patriot ism, bin the Democrats whose first choice for the Presidency Mr. Tilden would be. if he were still a candidate, are evidently more numerous than the supporters of all other Democratic aspirants com bined. Election Pro* poet* >" Ohio. Cincinnati E ft.j Hirer Pern.). The prospects of Judge Hoadly’s elec tion have been bright from the hour of his nomination, but they were never so : bright as they are to-day. A little earnest work on the part of his friends, and lie j will be the next Governor of Ohio by 25.000 majority. His campaign, as far as. it has gone, has been brilliant. Every speech which he has made has been some thing added to the political literature of the country. He lias shown the kind of mettle he is made of. and given the Demo cracy and the people, in general assur ance of a man who may be trusted. Ohio needs such a man as lloadly in the Guber natorial chair, and there is no longer any doubt of his election. If there ever were anv serious differences in tbe.Denvi cratic party in Ohio, they are closing up, and victory is in sight. Close up the ranks and press forward! ITEMS OF INTEREST.

Portland, Oregon, has a troublesome amazon whose most recent arrest was for entering a house not her own and for car rying concealed weapons. Her armory comprised a pistol of the pattern known as the Rockv Mountain giant, which is conceded to 'be quite as effective in the hand-to-hand en- counters of tiie AV estern pioneers as a Gatling gun. A VETERAN oystermax, of Baltimore, says that one of the principal causes of disaster to the oyster yield is the practice of catching and bedding the oysters in the spawning season. At tlie* annual picnic of the Connecticut Oyster Growers' Asso ciation a Sjteaker said that a sffiw load of mud dumped on an oyster bed would de stroy over a thousand dollars' worth of oysters. The Jews in Vienna have an industrial school, in which children of their race are taught the mechanical and artisan trades. It has already turned out 1,500 skilled mechanics. Last year the school had over 250 pupils, of whom forty were learn ing to l>e carpenters or cabinet-makers, sixty-five blacksmiths, sixty shoemakers, twenty-five turners of wood and metal, and forty whitesmiths. Others were 1 icing trained its wheelwrights and designers. A correspondent in El Paso writes: “I sat on the Plaza this afternoon, and saw approaching a Chinaman whose face was disfigured bv a long, ghastly looking scar. It was >am Hing, the richest Chi naman in America, who is said to have salted down four millions. Rumor has it that all the Chinamen employed in con structing the Mexican and Texas rail roads get their employment through Sam Hing and that each Chinaman (about 30.- 000 .pays him $1 a month, besides a bonus for the job of work obtained through Sam.” The Oregon editors make haste to cor rect their published statements reflecting upon the purpose of “a long-haired stran ger from the wilds of Idaho” who recent ly visited Portland on business that lie refrained from communicating to their reporters. There was a whole volume of meaning in the closing sentence *f his card, in which he said that they “had better leave the ‘long-haired stranger’ alone” or it might lie found that “it is not good policy to judge ieople by their appear ance.” It is reported that the Spanish Gov ernment, taking a hint from English j>ro ceedings during the late Egyptian cam paign, have ordered the construction of an armored train ot special design for use in time of Avar. It is $o consist of twen ty-six trucks, containing ammunition, stores and food; engineers’ workshop and telegraph plant, and several field guns. It will lie propelled by two heavily armored locomotives, one at each end, and will have a crew of nearly tAvo hun dred men, who will sleep on board their strange craft if required. The influence of social position on the death rate is shown in the second quar terly return of the Dublin registration district,the area of which iss24,7lo*statute acres, with a population of 349,685. Deaths in the families of the “professional and independent class’’ were eoual to an annual rate of 24.3 per 1,000; in the “mid dle class” the rate was 2*.6: among arti sans and small shopkeepers 23.6. In the “general service and workhouse class” it was 38.6, and in the .latter alone 43.6. Among “persons of rank and property, not otherwise described,” it was only 18.5. It is some satisfaction to know upon gor*l authority that our enemies, the flies, are having a had time of it this year. They are afflicted with parasites in the brain, which result in making them mad. It they were ants they would at Once es tablish hospitals in every settlement, but as they are only flies they take it out in buzzing and making themselves a greater nuisance than ever. They ha\-e developed the sticking jteriod unusually early, and, possibly owing to the madness in their brains, "they are dying on every hand, and electing burial places in soup plates, cof fee cups and l>eer glasses Avith great per sistency. Extensia k forest fires have been raging near Bar Harl>or. On a recent afternoon wind blew the flames down the mountain side toward the hotel, and for a time it looked as though a slight change in the direction of the wind would be sufficient to cause the summer A'isitors to make a hurried change of quarters. A tract of low land three miles by five in extent Avas burned over. Not far away a hundred men were fighting the flames all night. Many visitors ascended the mountain in the evening to obtain Itetter views of the blazing tracts inflow. The attraction was something novel in the way of summer resort inducements. It appears that the Germans are not the largest consumers of beer and other malt liquors, as has generally been sup posed. The Chemical Review figures out that the production of beer in the German Empire amounts to $2 quarts per capita, but a large proportion of this beer is ex ported. In Austria the amount is 31 quarts per inhabitant. In Great Britain 115 quarts of very strong beer is the ratio. In tiie United States the beer per inhabi tant is 40 quarts. The consumption of malt liquors is increasing faster here than in any other country. The consumption. hoAvever. is chiefly limited to the Northern States. South of "the Ohio river there aYe few breweries. M. Pasteur, in his instructions to the French scientific commission sent to Egypt to investigate the nature of cholera, acts on the hypothesis that the disease enters the human organism by the diges tive canal, and not through the air pas sages. It is directed that all articles of drink be well boiled and wine thoroughly heated before use. Food must be thor oughly cooked, and it, as well as liquids, must be partaken of from vessels pre viously heated. AYater. after being boiled for use, must be kept only in vessels that have been heated, and, AA : hen wanted for washing purposes, must be treated with 2 per cent, of carbolic acid. Bread must lie cut into thin slices and neated. and fruits washed in boiled water before eaten. Boiled water should be used several times daily in washing the hands and face. At tention will t>e giA'en to every detail con cerning the disease, and the attempt made to discoA'er the specific micro-organism to which, it is surmised, the disease is due. When the clerks employed in the Pen sion Bureau at Washington went to their work on a recent morning they found on the steps a man, his wife and their three children. Parents and children were in rags and covered Avith dust. The man said that he had been a private in the First Infantry, stationed at Fort Scott; that he was discharged some two years ago and had filed a claim for a pension, but aa as not satisfied with the proceedings of his lawyer: and that he, with his wife and children, had come ou foot from the Black Hills in the hope of getting the moneA’ which he belieA'ed Avas due him. The acting Commissioner promised to learn as quickly’ns possible whether the man was entitled to a pension. He said that he had known of men Avalking from places in Oregon and other points as re mote to learn that they had been deceived and that they had no just claims against the government. BRIGHT HITS.

Miss Lida Miller, at Block Island —his granddaugh ter, Miss Corkhill, being also of the party; Justice Gray at Newport, while for va riety’s sake, Justice and Mrs. Field are now in Yokohama, and from thence go to Hong Kong and Canton, returning by steamer to San Francisco. A low condition of health is common with many who allow themselves to worry. Mental anguish causes bodily sufferings. Anxiety and care have broken" down many constitutions. A train of disorders usu ally follow mental distress. Heart affec tions, nervousness, sleeplessness, dyspep sia, liver complaint, kidney troubles, etc,,- are among the list. A sure remedy for relieving all mental and physical distress j is Brown’s Iron Bitters. It at once 1 strengthens every part of the body, mak- j ing work a pleasure and care unknown. I THE SCRUGGS MURDER TRIAL. A Verdict of “Not Guilty"—A Full Ac count of the Proceeding*. Correeifondence of the Morning Sew*. Gibson, Glasscock County, Au gnst 24. —The third day of the trial of Dr. E. G. Scruggs, for the murder of Adrian Underwood, came to a termination last evening. During the proceedings the court-room was thronged. Men from sur rounding counties came on horseback, in wagons, and on foot, to attend the trial. Citizens say it was the largest crowd that ever attended any trial in Gibson. Four witnesses were examined, whose testimo ny was conflicting in some respects. J.D. Johnson's—the main State’s witness— testimony.was wavering at times, and was impeached by several witnesses.- Mary Jackson, a colored woman, created consid erable laughter by her answers. When she was asked what she meant by “advanc ing.” She replied that it was a- sorter fusg." Several witnesses were called to testify as to Johnson’s character. Four said it was good, and five said it was bad. After Dr. Scruggs made his statement, counsel on both sides began to sum up. Hon. Thomas E. Watson, associate solici tor. made the opening speech. He occu pied about three-quarters of an hour. He charged the jury to view the evidence carefully and perform their honest duty. He also "paid a high tribute to Dr. Scruggs' bravery in the war. He was followed by Hon. James Whitehead, ot Warrenton, who delivered an eloquent and feeling appeal in behalf of the prisoner. He spoke about an hour. Jud;e William Gibson followed. One hour was consumed in his address. His language was to the point and made a strong impression on the jury. Hon. George F. Pierce. Jr.. Solicitor General, made the last address. Tie spoke feelingly of the sadness of the affair, and the distress it had caused the family of the deceased. Judge E. H. Pottle occu pied an hour in charging the jury. He spoke of the importance attached to the ; case, and explained the enormity of the ! crime for which the accused was on trial. I During his charge he defined the various points of law in connection with the case. The points were well chosen. “If you be lieve." said Judge Pottle, "that Under wood in passing along the road halted Dr. Scruggs, and attempted to use a deadly weapon, with the intent to kill Scruggs, when Dr. Scruggs was not making any assault on Underwood, nor attempting to do so, and that Dr. scruggs then shot and killed Underwood Avben it was absolutely necessary, the killing was justifiable, and j the Doctor should he acquitted. If you | believe that Underwood, in passing along the road made no assault on I>r. Scruggs —that he was not attempting hv malice or j surprise to inflict a felony on Dr. Scrugsrs i with a pistol,and then Doctor Scruggs shot i and killed Underwood, it was not justifi l able, hut murder if done with malice; that is, aa ith a deliberate intent to kill. If I you believe that when Underwood left the iiouse of Hunter he had the fears of a ! reasonable man, by reason of threat or j otherwise, that Dr. Scruggs intended to , insult hitn. and commit a felony on him, ; he had a right to put himself in a coiuli ! tion of defense; though you should believe , that,he (Underwood), when he met with Dr. scruggs in the road, was armed, and : even if his pistol was cocked and ready for use, and although the deceased might have made threats against Scruggs, yet if j at the time Underwood did not draw his ; Aveapon, and was not attempting to use 1 his weapon, or to execute his threats on Scruggs, if Scruggs killed him under such j circumstances the killing Avas not justifi : able, and was murder if there was malice, : either expressed or implied. Judge Pottle’s charge was to the point, and Avas impartial. The jury were out : about a halt or ttiree quarters of an hour. When the jury marched into the court ; room a dead silence prevailed throughout the audience. Judge Pottle asked the jury whether they had agreed upon a ver dict. and the foreman answered “Y T es.” The Dill of indictment was then handed to the Solicitor General, Avho read the fol lowing verdict, which was written on the hack: “We, the jury, find the defendant not guilty.” When this was announced the defendant’s counsel and the audience gathered around and congratulated him. During the whole trial the gray-haired father of the doctor sat beside his son and anxiously listened to tiie proceedings. When the vvords “not guilty” were pro nounced tears of joy were observed escap ing from his eyes, and he appeared to be deeply moved. As the lawyers approached he grasped their hands and shook each heartily. Everybody, as far as I could learn, is perfectly satisfied with the verdict. Credit must be’given to Sheriff Newson and his assistants for the good order that pre vailed. This trial Avill long be remembered in this community. While the jury in Dr. Scruggs’ case were out, a colored boy vvas arraigned for stealing and breaking into a house. His name was Jerry Norris, and onlv twelve years of age. He pleaded guilty. He was sentenced to the chain-gang for two years. M. E. C. HENRY VILLARD. Something; About a Alan who Promises to Become a Money King. < nrreejion.let.ee Boston Jonrna’. Now that Gould and Vanderbilt have retired, temporarily, at least, from the financial arena, there is some curiosity as to who shall be tiie next dictator, at whose nod the "street” shall tremble. By common consent Mr. Henry Villard seems to he awarded the proud position, though whether he wants it is quite another matter, for the leading spirit in the Northern Pacific Railroad and the Oregon Navigation Company is a modest man. not fond of-noise or notoriety. As lie is likely to come before the public far more prominently during the next few years than’ any other finan cial "magnate of the day, some words as to the man may not be without interest. I do not know whether he has ever made good his claim by an act of the Legislature to the native of Villard or not, but at any rate his name was originally lliigard, and many of the same family may now he found in Belleville, Illinois. The distinguished Superintendent of the Coast Survey, Professor Julius Hilgard, one of the men of whom the scientific world is proud, is an uncle of Mr. Villard. The Heinrich Hilgard of thirty years ago, or the Henry Villard of to-day, is the son ot Gustav llilgard, formerly President of the Supreme Court in Munich. Gustav Hilgard was the only one of live brothers who did not emigrate to America, and it was not originally intended that his son Henry should come here. But some wild escapade, while studying at the University of Munich, induced him to cotne to this country in 1853, being then Iff years old. lie got as far as Chicago, when his for tune gave out, and he vvas taken in hand by his uncle, Robert C. Hilgard, of the Belleville Savings Bank, who took him to Belleville, where be remained until lie could find liis way around the new coun try. But Belleville was too small a place for the young man, who wandered off to see the world, and was not heard of for several years. In his wanderings he be came acquainted with Horace Greeley, who was making his way across the continent, and Greeley, seeing the solid worth in young Hilgard, en gaged him as correspondent with a roving commission in the AVest. This was short ly before the outbreak of the war, and in that time of great opportunities Hilgard soon made a name for himself in a double sense—he became noted as an excellent correspondent,and made his non de plutne of Villard so favorably known that he end ed bv discarding his own name in its fa vor." Before the close of the war he was on the high road to fame as a newspaper writer of brilliancy and judgment, and had he remained "in newspaper life he would unquestionably have made his for tune. Sunken Irish Cltie*. Blackwood's Magasint. There are numerous legends of sunken I cities scattered through Ireland, some of which are of a most romantic origin. Thus the space now covered by the Lake of Inchiguis is reported in former days to have been a populous and flourishing city: but, for some dreadful and unabsolved i crime, tradition says, it was buried be neath the deep waters. The “dark spirit” ■ of its King still resides in one of the cav -1 erns which border the lake, and once I every seven years at midnight he issues forth, mounted on his white charger, and makes the complete circuit of the lake, a performance which he is to continue till j the silver hoofs of his steed are worn out, when the curse will be removed and the Yflty reappear once more in all its bygone condition. The jieasantry affirm that even noAv, on a calm night, one may clearly see the towers and spires gleaming through the clear water. AVith this legend we may compare one told by Bur ton in his “History of Ireland.” "In Ulster is a lake 30,000 paces long and 15,000 broad, out of which ariseth the noble northern river called Bane, It is believed by the inhabitants that they were formerly wicked, vicious people who lh’ed in this place; and there was an old prophecy in every one’s mouth that whenever a well, which Avas therein, and Avas continually covered and locked up carefully, should be left open, so great a quantity of Avater would issue thereout as would soon overflow the Avliole ad jacent country. It happened that an old beldam coming to fetch water heard her child cry; upon which, running away in haste, she forgot to cover the spring, and coining hack to do it the land vvas so overrun that it was past her help; and at length she, her child and all the territory were drowned, which caused this pool that remains.” Mrs. J. AV. Johnson, Rome, Ga., savs: ,‘I used Brown’s Iron Bitters for indiges tion and derived much benefit.” A MOURNFI L AFFAIR. The Sudden Death of Mr. R. B. Hayne at Charleston. Charleston Xews and Courier, A nynst SKth. The entire community was shocked yes terday at the announcement of the death of Mr. Robert B. Hayne, who has for about ten years served the South Carolina Railway Company in the capacity of pay master. An inquest, which was held by Coroner DeVeaux, threw very little light on the circumstances surrounding the sad affair, and forced the jury to the con clusion that the unfortunate gentleman had. during a temporary abberration of intellect, taken his own life. The evidence showed that Mr. Hayne had left the office of the company on Tues day, the 21st, about 1 o’clock, having been entrusted with about S7OO with which to take up some notes in bank. He had tak en up the notes, and had not been seen at the office again until about 1 o’clock yes terday morning. At that hour he rang the bell of the door at the corner of Ann and King streets, and upon being admit ted by the night watchman, stated that he had just arrived in the city, and that, as it was so late, he did not care to go home, but would rest on a lounge in Col. Peck’s room. He went upstairs, but came down again about :> o'clock, and complained that the mosquitoes were troublesome. After a short conversation with the watchman he returned to Col. Peck's room, requesting the watchman to awake him at daylight. About So’clock hecame down stairs again. This was the last seon of him by the night watchman. About 6 o’clock Quash Greer, the col ored porter of the office, saw Mr. Hayne on the first floor of the building and had a short and cheerful talk with him. After this Mr. Hayne obtained the key to Dr. Couterier's room, which is on the second floor of the building in the rear of the main office, and went upstairs to lie down, shortly before S o’clock the porter went to the room to take a cup of coffee, by way of preparation for the day’s work, to Mr. Hayne, and, to his horror, found him lying on the floor on his back with a bullet in his head. Quash reported the fact at once to several gentlemen in the office, and messengers were sent out for physi cians. Dr. T. Grange Simons, who ar rived first, examined Mr. Hayne, and found a gunshot wound in the fight tem ple. Anew improved Smith & Wesson revolver, oS-calibre, with one chamber discharged, was lying near the right side of the wounded man. He survived about three-quarters of an hour after the arrival of the physician, but was totally uncon scious. After the death of Mr. Hayne, Deputy Coroner J. C. Deveaux organized a jury of inquest, who viewed the body, and ad journed until I p. m„ when the inquest was held, and the facts given above were elicited. The verdict of the jury was as follows: That R. 15. Hayne came to his death on the morning of the 25th of August, at the South Carolina Railway Company's office, corner of King and Ann streets, by a gunshot wound, inflicted by his own hand during temporary aberra tion of mind. Mr. Hayne was only 35 years old, re lined and courteous in all his ways, and blithe and sanguine in disposition. It was his happy faculty to tie Jo him all who hau the pleasure to know him. The memory of the grace of his manner and the brightness of his smile will rest long with those who were mere acquaintances, and whose hearts will ache, in common with the hearts of his friends, when they hear the sad storv of his untimelv death. . Monkeys. . Beljruria. The monkey is not a fool—certainly not “a tool of the greatest size,” as Chris tiana would say. In fables it is often the butt of other creatures, but it is in quisitiveness as a rule that gets it into trouble, not its foily. The poets describe it as half an idiot and with very bad in tention—“just skilled to know the right and choose the wrong”—but I have so often myself taken advantage in their wild forest state of their generous credul ity and otherwise laudable thirst for knowledge, that I speak as an expert when I say that though l have harmlessly astonished them with trains of gunpow der and frightened a whole community out of all gravity by painting one of their number an agreeable vermilion, I never saw anything in their behavior, sober or drunk, composed or alarmed, that led me to think them particularly foolish, as com pared with men. Indeed, when undis turbed in mind, the monkey has a philo sophical gravity which compels my admi ration, although I confess the alternating fits of monkey frivolity and indecorum exasperate me. since Father Noah squeezed the grape And took to such liehaving As would have shamed our grandsire ape Before the days of shaving. If they would only sit still a little longer and look me fairly in the eyes, I should like to ask the monkey, babboon. or ape some questions of which the solutions in terest me greatly. Why are they always so sad-faced, when evidently the most content? And where is the missing link? Is it true that they speak among them selves in a lingua franca of their own, and that under the influence of hidden panic they can articulate? I remember once in India, at the Alla habad Club, a monkey calling in a frenzy of terror to its native attendant by name. It had seen a cobra coming toward it, and distinctly articulated its master’s ser vant’s name—and this more than one per son vouched for. Is then the tradition correct that*monkeys refuse to talk lest they should be made to work? Play at dummy like the monkeys For fear mankind should make them flun keys. I should like, too. to ask them about the dog-faced men of Tartary and the Soko and the Congo, Susumete and Eugeena, and to get at the truth about Du Chaillu’s gorillas. But as they are, the monkeys are impossible in conversation. They are too sudden, too unforeseen in their trans formations from sense to ribaldry to be rational, too furtive in expression to be straightforward in reply, too fond of scratching neighbors to keep to the point. What a curious community of fur this is, by the way! I know nothing like it, ex cept the unanimous scratching of Hindoo fakirs.
