Missouri is not a good State for non

Representative Reed, of M aine, although
he weighs near three hundred pounds, is
not fat-witted. He has a sharp tongue
and knows how to use it, as some oi those

A day or two ago a friend in conversation
with him spoke slightingly of the Senate.
Mr. Reed assumed an air of great solem
nity and rebuked his friend. He said:
“You must never speak with levity or
disrespect of tbe Senate. That is the place
to which all great politicians go when

The New York Park Commissioners
have been in great strait over the alleged
equestrian statue of Gen. Boliver recently
presented to the city by the Venezuelan
Government. It has the appearance of
having been whittled out by a blind man
with a jack knife. There was such delay
iu giving it a place in the park that the
ire of the friends of Venezuela was some
what aroused, and it was only then that
the experts detected in the statue bidden
beauties that constituted it a real work of
art. They now assert that the old stifl
legsed hobby on which the Liberator sits
is a faithful representation of a South
American charger.
Notwithstanding the fact that the levees
of Louisiana are breaking one alter an
other. and the suite is being rapidly inun
dated, the Governor of that State, who
was re-nominated because it was claimed
for him that he was a levee Governor, is
away from his post of duty making cam
paign speeches in his own interest. This
gives the Picayune a chance to say that
“there is, we must admit, nothing like
having a levee Governor, and nothing
like getting him upon the highlands at
the danger signal, where he is not in dan
ger of being drowned.” It is rather un
generous on the part of the Picayune to
be hitting at the Governor for looking af
ter-his own interests. How can he carry
out his levee policy unless he is re-elected.
Inventor Keely has actually set a day
—on or before the 10th of April—for giv
ing an exhibition of his wonderful motor.
The information has been given out that
the work of focalization and adjustment,
being done by the inventor alone, is pro
gressing with the greatest satisfaction.
He appears to be as confident of success
as if it were already achieved. The sci
entific world, however, does not yield one
iota from its opinion that the motor is a
delusion or a iraud, and that it will
amount to nothing. Rivals of the Keely
machine are said to be springing up ail
around. The latest is reported at Pana
ma, and it is said the vibrators of this one
have already been adjusted aud focalized.
Keely ought to fix the Ist of April lor his
exhibition.
The Mississippi Flood.
The condition of the people of the Lower
Mississippi Valley is deplorable. Their
farms are covered with water several feet
deep, and their horses, cattle, sheep and
hoes which escaped the flood are start
inz in the hills. Entire counties in Ar
kansas and Mississippi, and whole par
ishes in Louisiana are submerged. The
water in these States will not recede as
quickly as it did in Ohio. Kentucky and
Indiana. It will be two months, perhaps
longer, before farming operations can be
gin. It will be too late then to do much
planting. The planters and farmers have
doubtless about made up their minds that
they can accomplish very little this year.
The loss of the year’s crops is not the
only thing that is discouraging.
The people had just about completed,
with the help of national and state gov
ernments. their system of levees. The
levees are very badly damaged. Some of
tbe most costly of them have been entirely
swept away. It will take several years
to put them in the condition they were
before the present overflow. But what
are the people to do for food until they
can get to work again? planters
and farmers can, of course *t along, be
cause they have supplies, and if they
haven’t, they have credit; but tbe labor
ing people, who depend on the planters,
have neither supplies nor credit. Con
gress has voted $125,000 for their reliet.
but that sum will not do much towards
supporting many thousands of people
for two months.
There is another thing that threatens
the unhappy people of the overflowed re
gion. It is that Congress may abandon
the plan that has been adopted for im
proving the Mississippi river and
preventing destructive overflows. If the
improvements already made should
be destroyed by the present
flood there would be a strong disposition
to condemn the {dan as impracticable.
Already several influential papers have
raised the question whether it would not
be better to make no more appropriation*
tor the Mississippi river until it is defi
nitely settled by competent engineers
what ought to be done to insure control
of the river. They do not stop to consider
that competent engineers have been work
ing at that problem for half a century,
and that the plan upon which the improve
ment is being made is the result of years
of observation and experience of tbe best
engineers of the countrv. It ought, at
least, to be given a trial. If the present
overflow causes Congress to abandon
the plan of improvement that has been
adopted, and throws the question respect
ing the best way to control the river into
the avc-nue of discussion again, the
[•eople of the lower valley will have more
cause to regret the flood this year on that
account than on account of the damage it
will do them, because the work of pro
tecting the valley from annual inundation
will be put back ten or a dozen years.
Death of Augustus Schell.
Our dispatches this morning announce
the death ot Augustus Schell, of New
York. Mr. Schell was one of the best
kuown men in the country. He was an
old Tammany leader. For forty years or
more he played a prominent part in city,
State and national politics. He was born
in Dutchess county, New York. August
1, I*l2, and was the fifth of a family of
eight children. His parents were natives
of Staatsburg, Germany. He graduated
at Union College, in 1330. and was ad
mitted to the bar in 1033. at Albany, N.
Y. He practiced law in New York city
twenty-five veais. In 1852 he came very
near receiving the nomination for Gov
ernor. In IS>; Buchanan made him Col
lector of the Port of New York. At the
close of his term as Collector, being rich,
he gave his attention to railroads, and be
came a director in several
railroad corporations. He was
particularly active in charitable
and philanthropic enterprises, and con
tributed largely to nearly all the charita
ble institutions of New A'ork city. Dur
ing the reign of the Tweed ring, Mr.
schell withdrew from active participation
in the affairs of the Tammany Society and
did what he could to break up the ring
and wrest the city government from the
plunderers. He was Chairman of the
National Committee which called the St.
Louis Convention in 1870 which nomi
nated Mr. Tilden. That was the Hi st
National Convention ever held west of
the Mississippi. Mr. Schell appeared last
in politics in 1*77 when he was defeated
for Mayor by Edward Cooper. He had a
long, busy and a useful career.
Tlie Naval Stores Trade.
Twelve years ago, as shown by the
President of our Board of Trade in his an
nual report, this city was unknown as a
naval stores market. It is now the largest
market of that kind in the world. During
the lunt fiscal year the reccdpts of spirits
turpentine were 132,314 barrels, and of
rosin 560,493 barrels. The money value
of these products was about $4, 000,00m.
The marvelous growth of the naval stores
trade at this port is not wholly due to
natural causes. The energy and enter
prise of our merchants contributed a great
deal to it. This trade adds largely to the
prosperity of this city, and, there
fore, ought to be encouraged in
every possible way. It has called
into life several manufacturing industries.
It gives employment to hundreds of
laborers iii the summer season who would
otherwise be idle. It brings annually a
very large amount of business to the city.
It is a trade which Savannah doesn't
want to lose, and which she will not lose
until its source is destroyed. But how
long will the pine forests—the source—
last? Not very long under tne present
destructive system of the naval stores
producers. Would it not be well for the
Board of Trade to take steps looking to
tbe preservation of the pine forests? By
a proper system trees can be made pro
ductive three times as long as at present.
Fires in Cotton Cargoes.
The recommendation in the annual re
' port of the President of the Board of
Trade, read before the board Wednesday
night, that a committee Ire apjiointed to
investigate the origin of fires in cotton
cargoes at this port, is a good one, and
ought to be acted upon at once. Within
the last year quite a number of these
tires have occurred here, and in no in
stance has there been a satisfactory
explanation of the cause of the tire.
Several theories have been advanced, but
no one of them has been generally ac
cepted. The President of the Board of
Trade suggests that the Board of Under
writers and the Cotton Exchange co
operate with the Board of Trade in this
matter. It is to be hoped that both the
suggestion and the recommendation will
, be approved by those bodies. As the Board
of Trade has taken the initiative, it would
lie well for that institution to appoint a
committee immediately to meet commit
tees of the other two organizations.
Prompt action is what is needed. If there
is delay it is probable that nothing will
be done.
Ohio has been the scene of another out
rage. At Niamisburg, a village near
Dayton, a solitary ghost has been in the
"habit of occasionally taking a little exer
cise in the cemetery. Tuesday night sev
esal hundred people, armed with clubs
and guns, waylaid the spectre which aj>-
peared to be a woman in white. They
battered it with their clubs and riddled it
with bullets and shot, but it floated ofl in
the air as serenely as if its assailants had
never been born. The figure was recog
nized as that of a young woman who was
supposed to have been murdered
several years ago, and it was only
her supernatural powers that kept
her from being brutally murdered
again. The people of the village, how
ever, were not satisfied, and next day they
began to dig up all the bodies in the ceme
tery. If quiet, well-behaved ghosts have
no rights that the Ohio people are bound
to respect, it is high time Senator Sherman
was giving them some. How would he
feel if the ghost of Eliza Pinkston were to
be brutally assaulted by his neighbors in
case it should desire to make a friendly
visit to him after the adjournment of Con
gress ?
Secor Robeson has come out openly for
Blaine. Now if Keifer will only come out
for him he will have a fat team that ought
to give him a chance to win in the race tor

The End of the Whisky Bill.
The whisky bill was disposed of yester
day. It will hardly trouble Congress
again this session. It hadn't as many
friends as was generally supposed. In
view of all tbe fuss that has been made
over it, the support it received when the
vote was taken was surprisingly small.
Tbe story that the tariff reformers were
supporting it, and that it had some mys
terious connection with the Morrison bill, j
was shown to be wholly false. We stated :
some days ago that there was no doubt i
that the bill was being urged on its own j
merits. The vote shows this was true.
Some rather funny arguments were pre
sented for and against the bill. The aver
age Congressman may be depended upon
for funny arguments where there is a
chance for an exhibition of demagogism.
One of the arguments in aid of the bill
was that it helped the temperance cause,
because it would prevent whisky from be
coming cheap by being forced upon an
overstocked market. Others, however,
asserted that it would hurt the cause of
temperance, because the longer the
whisky was kept in bond the better it
would become, and would therefore be
more eagerly sought after. The truth
probably is that the passage of the bill
would have had no influence either one
wav or the other on the temperance
cause. The bill is out of the way now.
however, and it is to be hoped for ever.
If the claims made.by the whisky men
; respecting financial dangers which threat
i en the whisky business and those con
i nected with it were well founded the bill
1 had some little merit, but not enough to
; have justified Congress in making so
j marked a precedent in favor of class
i legislation. It remains to be seen whether
i there will be such financial disasters as
were predicted if the relief asked for was
; not granted.

Some recently compiled dairy statistics
may prove interesting: About 42,000,000,000 is
invested in the dairy business in the f'nited
States; 15,000,000 cows supply the milk, and it
takes 6u.000.000 acres of land to feed them,
and 700,000 men and 1,000,000 horses to attend
to them and the milk they produce. These
cows and horses consume annually 30,000,000
tons of hay, 50.000.000 bushels of cornmeal
and oatmeal, 275,000,000 bushels of oats and
various other grains, the total cost of which
is about 5400,000,000 per year, while the hired
help costs $168,000,000. Tho yearly return for
this investment i5G,750,000,000 gallons of milk,

Everybody has heard of Beadle, the dime
novel man, and most of us, in our vealy days,
have looked upon him as a public benefactor.
This gentleman son, whose marital ex
perience would form the basis for one of his
choicest publications. Young Beadle, who
lives in New York, after being married nine
years, abandoned his wife for another
woman. After two weeks’ search the wife
found him. and he returned home penitent.
Xot long afterward he said he was uneasv
and his mind could not rest until his wife hail
called uion the other woman and forgiven
her. Mrs Beadle did so. But even that did
not make Beadle happy, for in a week or so
lomrer he informed his wife that there was no
use in their trying to live together, for he
loved the other woman, and he offered to bring
to Iter a frieuil of his with whom she might
live. This arrangement was finally made, but
in a few weeks Mrs. Beadle says her con
science told her she was acting improperly,
and she abandoned the new lover. Now she
sues for *uipport from Beadle. He set up the
claim of fnfidelity on her part, but the judge
would not accept that plea. Beadle then re
fused point blank to support his wife, and was
sent to jail.
A party of 50 women arc this week leaving
Bordeaux for New Caledonia under peculiar
circumstances. They arc, in fact, women
sentenced to a lengthened term of imprison

go to the French penal colony, where they
will each find a husband in one of the “con
victs of the first class”—that is, those con
victs who have, by their good behavior, enti
tled themselves to a government grant of
land and obtained permission to marry. An
inspectressof prisons recently made the round
of the six central female prisons, and selected
the 50 inmates—all of them described as young
and good looking—who are now going abroad
to make a fresh start in the world. Once out
they wiil lie housed in a religious establish

of listers, where bachelor convicts of the
privileged class will be permitted to visit
them, and as often as a marriage is arranged
the Colonial Government will provide the
bride with a trosseau and set the couple up in
housekeeping in a small way. It was Prince
Napoleon, who. when he was Minister for Al

excellent results so far.

POLITICS IN THE STATE.
Straws which Point to the Candidates
of the Coniine Campaign.
Capt. s. D. Fuller, the last Representative
in the Legislature from Wilcox county, is a
candidate for State senator from the Four
teenth district.
The Griflin Sews says: “Gov. J. s. Boynton
states that lie is neither a candidate for any
office nor does he propose to move to or live iit
any place except Griffin."
Tiie Coffee county Gazette says: Judge M.
L. Mer-hon is fast coming to the front as a
candidate for Congress. If he should let it
be known that he would have lo objection to
serving a term or two in the National Coun
cils. his friends throughout the district would
doubtless favor his nomination in a substan
tial way.”
The Ellierton -Ye if kouth says: “On the 29th
inst. Judge Barnett's term of office will ex
pire as Judge of the County Court, and it will
devolve upon Gov. McDaniel to apjioiiit his
successor to serve for the next four years.
Judge Barnett, T. C. Carlton and 11. A. Roe
buck, Esq*., arc applicants for the |>osition.
and all three are strongly indorsed by their
friends.”

Pledger aud 1,. 51. Pleasant for delegates from
the State-at-large to the National Republican

The convention indorsed President Arthur's
administration.
The Xewnan Herald of this week says:
“Hon. Hugh Buchanan arrived Sunday night
from Washington ntv, his presence being re
quired in a ease before tlie Superior Court,
which will detain him a week or more. The
Judge is looking remarkably well, aud seems
to be perfectly serene regarding the condition
of his 'fences.' He has looked so closely after
Ids Congressional duties and voted so square
and honest upon every public measure that
the iieopie are content to let well enough
alone. But there are some aspiring men who
can't see it that way.”
The Brunswick Herald of yesterday says:
“The Republicans held a mass meeting at tlie
fair ground on Monday, to elect delegates to
the several conventions—Hon. James Blue.
Chairman, and Hugh C. Christopher acting
as Secretary. Wm. P. Golden stated the ob

ly indorsed by vote of the meeting.
SHE DIDN’T FLAP HER WINGS.
So a Philadelphia Boy's Attempt tb
Make His Sister Fly Ends with a
Broken Leg.
A West Philadelphia boy, says the
Times of the 24th, tried an experiment
Monday, lie bad made up his mind that
a human being could fly a6 well as a bird
if he went about it in the right way, and
he thought he knew the way. He per
suaded his younger sister, who had great
confidence in him, to become bis assist
ant. Having laid his plans before her,
and convinced her that flying was a very
simple matter after all, she consented to
make the first attempt. lie took her up
to the second story porch, and, hav
ing brought out a pair of big tur
key wings, an old umbrella and some
stout cord, he began to rig up the too con
fiding victim for the great trial. He
bound one wing to the outside of each of
her arms and fastened the outspread um
brella to her body by putting the handle
behind her head and passing the cord
around just below her shoulders. The
unibrelia was to act as a parachute, about
which he had read just enough to make
his knowledge dangerous, and he quieted
the girl's misgivings by saying that this
arrangement would “let her down easy.”
When the little girl stood completely ar
rayed for the trip the boy told her that all
she had to do was to jump and flap her
wings and she would fly like any bird.
Five minutes later the family doctor was
sent for in great haste to mend a broken
leg, and the youth, when upbraided and
punished for his cruel folly, insisted that
if the little goose had flapped her wings
as he told her she would have been all
right.
FROM SOCIETY TO THE STAGE.
Mrs. Denison, of Baltimore, to Star with
the Madison Square Company Next
Season.
A sensation was occasioned in social
circles here to-day, says a Baltimore spe
cial of the 24th inst. to the New York
World, over the announcement that Mrs.
Charles Denison, a lady prominent In the
highest social circles and hignly connect
ed, has signed a contract with the Madi
son Square Theatre Company of New York
and was to go on the stage as a star next
season. When called upon by a corres.
pondent Mrs. Denison acknowledged the
truth of the announcement, and said the
step was one she had had in contempla
tion for some time past.
She has been leading lady at the
Wednesday Club here for the past three
seasons, and has taken prominent parts
in “Two Nights in Rome,” “Our Boys,”
“Orange Blossoms” and “A Scrap of
Paper.” Her acting Is very much like
Modjeska’s. She took part in several
amateur performances in New York last
summer, and it was there that her acting
won-her the renown which led to her en
gagement, Mrs. Denison is about 38 years
old. Her husband is not engaged in any
business. She has an income from
property left her by her parents. The af
fair is the chief topic of conversaticn in
the clubs aud social circles to-night.
APPLING COUNTY ITEMS.
A Good Sheriff—Turpentine Industry—
Sheep Farming, Etc.
Correspondence of the Morning .hi nt.
Baxley, Ga., March *24.—For attention
to business, energy, etc., we would like to
see any county in the State show a better
Sheriff than we have. Warrants placed
in his bands for execution never grow
dustv. He sometimes makes raids among
the gamblers of the colored persuasion.
On last Saturday night he visited the
neighborhood of Mann <t Melton's turpen
tine farm, where he came upon a shanty
fall of the dusky wards of the nation.busy
and boisterous' over their pet gambling
game, which they affectionately call "skin
game.” He succeeded in securing seven.
The balance escaped, hut not all of them
without injury, for there were several pis
tol shots tired, and I understand two were
hit. one slightly and the other seriously.
The Sheriff informed me that he had not
more than entered the door of the shanty
before a mulatto jumped up, exclaiming,
“Is that you, Mr. Cook?” out with a pis
tol and commenced firing straight at him,
whereupon a general firing commenced on
tyoth sides, hut the negroes soon broke,
leaving, as above stated, seven of their
number, who were brought to this place
the same aud lodged in jail. If they
are all convicted it will swell our county
chain-gang to twenty. The chain-gang is
now faired out by the county at $7 50
per month per band. The present con
tract expires in about a month from now.
I don’t think the county will be able to se
cure so good a price for them again. The
ehain-gang system tor this county is a re
ceut thing, it having been born with the
County Court, which has been in exist,
ence only a tew months. The question of
a County Court was agitated a long time
before the people could lielieve that the
county would be benefited by it. So far
it has’proven a success, and everybody is
pleased. Judge R. T. Williams, the pres
ent Judge of this court, has given very
general satisfaction. The grand jury of
the last term of the Superior
Court recommended that the Judge
of tbe County Court be paid out of
the county treasury $56 per month
for his services, he hiring and paying his
own clerk.
The motion for anew trial in the case
of the State vs. Stephen Spence, convicted
of larceny at the last term of the Superior
Court, of'which I spoke in my last, will
lie argued at the adjourned term of the
Superior Court tor this county, which
will be held here commencing the fourth
Monday in May next. The jury convict
ing Spence recommended him to the mercy
of the court.
I have been informed that quite
an accident occurred on last Satur
dav upon the tram road or L. John
son it Cos., near Graham, in this
countv, It seems that a mule, or a team
of mules, by the carelessness of a team
ster got on the track ahead ot one of the
trains that they use for hauling logs, and
one or more mules were thrown under the
cars, knocking several of them off the
track and considerably wrecking them.
There was no one hurt seriously, hut all
hands had to jump for their lives.
There is an old saying. “One extreme
follows another.” Last fall we had one
of the most protracted droughts I ever
saw: now we are having too much rain.
The turpentine men of this section are
repairing their old stills and otherwise
preparing for the turpentine season, hut I
don't think, with any hope, of making
much money at jiresent prices. I don't
think there are many engaged at the busi
ness now but what would like to get out
of it. 3Vben prices of the stuff go up
everybody wants to get in the business,
and when it goes mow n everylxidv wants
to get out. In a tew years the turpentine
and timber business of this section will
be a thing of the past, judging from the
rapid destruction of the forests now going
on. What will the people do then ? Some
sav go to farming. Well, they will have
to farm or starve, for there will be nothing
else for them to do. There is plenty good
land in this county and it can be made
to produce as well as any in the State.
For raising sheep it is hard to find a
country that will excel this. Hitherto
there has been little or no attention paid
to sheep, they being allowed to roam at
will over the woods at the mercy ol the
thief and the dog.
A gentleman who owns a considerable
flock'of sheep told me some time ago, that
notwithstanding the enemies his sheep
had to contend with, they paid him a
profit on the investment of not less than
25 per cent, per annum. While the land
in this country is not so productive as in
the Mississippi valley, or as in some por
tions of the West, the people are not liable
to have their farms washed away at any
time by floods, and they can work out
doors twelve months in the year.
There is one thing the people of this
country understand liow to do to perfec
tion, and that is how to attend to their own
business. I have never yet heard a desire
expressed to investigate Tewksbury; they
are willing for the people of the North to
manage their own affairs, and would be
glad if the Northerners would extend them
the same courtesy and promise to show as
clean a record as they do. J. T. .K
A SHORT-LINE SOUTH.
Contracts Awarded for a Road which
will Revolutionize Southern Travel.
The contract for building the New Y'ork,
Norfolk anil Charleston Railroad, anil for
the entire equipment, including rolling
stock, says a New Y’ork special to the
Philadelphia Press, has been let to the
Carolina Construction Company. This
company has sublet the contracts for
building road-bed, grading, bridging, sta
tions, round bouses ami workshops to the
American Contracting Company, of New
York, for the sum of $3,101,171 in bonds
and stock of the railroad company.
The New Y’ork, Norfolk and Charles
ton Railway Company is chartered by the
States of Virginia, North Carolina and
South Carolina, for building a line com
mencing at either of the cities of Norfolk
or Portsmouth in Virginia, and extending
southward through the States of Virginia,
North Carolina and South Carolina, to
Charleston, a distance of 330 miles. The
line will be part of a through line from
Boston and New Y'ork by way of Phila
delphia, Wilmington and the Delaware
and Peninsula Road. The Delaware Road
is now being extended southward by the
Pennsylvania Company to a point
opposite the Northern terminus
of the New York, Norfolk and
Charleston line, and the two will connect
through the waters of Hampton Roads
and Norfolk harbor. The 330 miles of air
line from Norfolk tiVCharleston, by cutting
out the existing triangular and circuitous
lines, will effect a saving of 180 miles and
seven hours in time between Boston, New
York and Philadelphia, in the North, and
Charleston, Savannah, New Orleans and
Mobile in the South. It is claimed for the
new route, therefore, that it will com
mand the bulk of through passenger and
freight traffic between the Nortb and
South.
Connections at Charleston with the
Charleston and Savannah Railroad give
it the most direct route for ail Florida
points. At Yemassee it will have con
nections with the Georgia Central to
Shrevejiort, La., and by the Texas Pacific
through to San Francisco. The surveyed
and located line is said to show the low
est maximum grade of any railroad in
the United States. The curves will be
few, and a high rate of speed can there
fore be combined with low cost of run
ning. Fuel and water abound along the
entire line. In Virginia the line passes
through the rich agricultural country
where market produce is raised, and the
produce for Northern markets delivered
at any station on the line before evening
of one day will reach the markets of
Philadelphia and New York before day.
light of the next day.
In North Carolina the line taps the best
timber lands of tbe State, and contracts
for transportation now agreed upon, it is
claimed, ensure for the next twenty years
earnings sufficient to pay interest on
bonds secured on 300 miles of road and
dividends on stock to same.amount. The
line also runs through the best cotton
producing counties in the State.
The rivers crossed by the line, and
which will prove important feeders, are
the Chowan, Roanoke, Tar, Cape Fear
and Peedee. On these streams large
quantities of cotton, tobacco, lumber and
naval stores are annually shipped. The
railroads already constructed and bisect
ed by the line of the New Y'ork, Norfolk
and Charleston, are the Albemarle and
Raleigh, the Wilmington and Weldon, the
Midland North Carolina, the Wilmington,
Columbia and Augusta running from
Wilmington, N. C., to Columbia, S. C.,
and Augusta, Ga. All of the rivers and
roads crossed drain a large territory, and
must prove important feeders to the di.
rect line crossing them and afford a direct
outlet for their freight and passenger
traffic.

ARTHUR MOURNED AS DEAD
By the Chinese Minister at Washington
and His Suite.
Avery good story on the Chinese Minis
ter is just now floating about, says a
Washington special, and as it is rather
mirth-provoking I give it for what it is
worth:
Mr. Tsao Ju. the Minister, is a most de
liciously absurd old person and looks like
a codfish. He knows about seven words
of English, but has a spry young secretary
who knows the whole English language,
including the cuss words. One day not
long since Mr. Ju, stepping out of bis
front door, saw a printed "yellow slip
which had been left by the tras man lying
iu the vestibule. Now, yellow paper in
China signifies the death of a very distin
guished person, so Mr. Tsao, in much agi
tation. sent for the interpreter. Tne inter
preter had gone off to the Theatre Com
ique, and so the legation was left to
wrestle with the gas bill alone. The whole
suite was summoned, and it was con
cluded that the President was defunct,
and this was the official notice. Mr. Tsao
immediately retired to tje drawing room
with his suite, had every window shut up,
and placing the gas bill upon an effigy of
Confucius, he and his suite proceeded to
hold a Chinese wake. They howled in
chorus, and they howled separately.
The minister howled for an hour in the
blue petticoat he'usually wears, and then
changed it to a yellow petticoat and
howled more vociferously than ever, while
he beat his breast and tore at his
queue. An African lady employ
ed about the kitchen peeped
through the door after hearing • the
hullabaloo, and seeing the "as bill and
knowing the methods of the Washington
Gas Company, retired, thinking it nothing
remarkable that people should howl over
the gas bills of the Washington Gas Com
pany. A policeman, accompanied by a
section of American youth, pounded at
the back gate ana demanded to know who
was being murdered by Mr. Tsao Ju. The
African lady explained that, “Tisn’t nuffln
but the gas’ bill, an’ dat’s 'nuff to make
tolks holler.” The policeman, seeing the
reasonableness ot this, departed. After
five hours of bawling, interspersed with
tea, firecrackers and Chinese hymns, the
interpreter returned—and it was found
instead of the President being dead the
gas company merely demanded aliout $25
for burning $7 worth of gas.
DIME NOVEL HIGHWAYMEN.
With Glittering Arms They Descend
Upon a Peddler and Rob Him of His
Wealth.
Last night as Henry Hornbold,a peddler,
was driving from Schuylkill county, says
a Millersburg (Pa. special of the :24th
inst. to the New York World, he was
stopped by three armed and masked high
waymen and commanded to disgorge.
The party rifled his pockets of #9OO and a
gold watch. This morning Henry Em
holtz. 16 years old. was arrested’ while
trying to sell the stolen gold watch in a
jewelry store at Liverpool. At the Jus
tice’s office he said he had received the
watch from a tramp. Upon being
searched #-’75 was found upon him, and he
confessed that he and two others had
a grew l to rob the peddler, but stoutly re
fused to give the names of his partners.
Suspicion was directed against two ot
his companions named respectively Luther
Martin and Henry Klinge, aged 15 and 14
years. L'pou them were found $125, four
gold-mounted revolvers, a number of ac
tresses’ photogiaphs and several dime
novels. They stated that Eraholtz had
instigated the crime and that he intended
taking them to Idaho if his plan proved
successful. Emkoltz is believed to be the
party who has committed several myste
rious robberies in that region lately. ’
History of the. Benjamin Letter.
Lttterfrom W. F. A. Archibald to the Editor
of the London Daily Telegraph.
My attention has been called to an arti
cle in your issue of to-day, in which you
refer at some length to an"anonymous let
ter received in August, 1960, by my uncle,
the late Sir Edward Archibald, then
British Consul at New York, in which the
writer intimated that the Southern States
would be ripe for rebellion in the follow
ing November, and suggested negotia
tions for the return of those States to their
allegiance to the British crown. Would
you allow me to say that Sir Edward
Archibald never for a moment attributed
the letter in question to Mr. Judah P.
Benjamin, Queen’s Counsel; uor, I should
think, would any one who knew Mr. Ben
jamin have troubled him to repudiate
such a production. The letter was
actually received, and in the then con
dition of American polities Sir Edward
Archibald considered it necessary to send
a reply which, I need scarcely say, was
an Indignant refusal to entertain any
further communications upon the subject.
The original letter, together with a copy
of the reply, are, 1 believe, at the Foreign
Office, having been handed to the Secre
tary of State. But the late Sir Edward
Archibald kept a copy of the anonymous
letter, and gave another copy to the late
Mr. Thurlow Weed, who was collecting
documents relating to the civil war, upon
the understanding that it should not be
published until after the death of them
both. Upon the recent decease ot Mr.
Thurlow Weed, his representative, not
knowing, I presume, the terms unon
which the copy was given, published it in
the American pat>ers, and Sir Edward
Archibald did not survive him long enough
to know ol the publication.
No Mistake in Hers.
LeadtiUt Deotoerat,
At noon a girl, about 19 years old, and
wearing a somewhat faded costume, came
up to the delivery window of the post of
lice, threw down a letter, and said to the
clerk: “Is that air stamp all squee-gee?”
“Yes, it seems to be all right.” "An’ is
the address writ so’s thar’ kin be no show
of its gittin’ otTn the trail an’ monkeyin’
all ’round the country afore it gits to
whar’ its addressed?” “Oh, 1 guess so.
The mail boys can manage to ” “I
don’t want no guess work about it, for
that’s a matter o’ life and death. If that
letter’ll go straight say so, and, if it
wont, just unlimber your tongue and
give me square music.” “I’ll guar
antee that it will find the person to
whom it is addressed,” said the clerk,who
had deciphered the hieroglyphics on the
envelope. “Then, that’s all right, but if
it dont git thar on time I’ll have you
took up fur murder. That letter's fur'mv
feller back in lllinoy, an’ he writ that if
1 wouldn’t marry him right otf he’d kill

My name's lioda Lumly, an’ anybody that
knows the Lumlys ’ll tell you that we
are not to be fooled with when human
life’s at stake.” And she shook a warn
ing Anger at the clerk and walked out.
The President Disgusted.
A Democratic member who called at
the White House recently was rurprised
at the President’s cordiality. “Sit down,”
said the President to him, “and we'll have
a nice talk.” The modest member ex
pressed a fear that the many Republicans,
Senators and Representatives who were
awaiting audience would not like to be
kept so long while a Democrat was before
them. “Oh, never mind them,” said Mr.
Arthur; “you are a Democrat, and so I
know you don't want anything. You have
called socially, and I assure you it is a re
lief to get away from those fellows for a
few minutes. And every one of them im
plies that if I’ll do as he recommends
about certain appointments there’ll be so
many more delegates for me at Chicago.
lam disgusted with it all.” Finally the
member departed, and as he did so he saw
the President shaking his head and quot

portunate Senator.
