Sjieculation at the Stock Exchange was
characterized by buoyancy and activity dur
ing the early dealings. Union Pacific was the
feature, and advanced, on large business,
from 50)4 to 54)4. The rise was based on re
ports from Boston that the company and the
Chicago. Burlington and Quincy Company
had arrived at a better understanding than
had existed between them for years and rates
had been restored throughout the entire line
of road. The improvement in the other active
stocks range I from !4 to 2)4 per cant. In the
afternoon Missouri Pacific was raided down to
92 1 a by the bears, and this weakened the en
tire market. At the same time it was report
ed from the YY est that the weather there was
unfavorable for the growing corn, which led
to some selling for long account, and prices
declined )4®2)4 per cent, from the highest
point of the day. Near the close there was a
rally of per cent., the latter for Union
Pacific. The market closed steady. Com
pared with last night’s close, prices are H®2)4

in short, with cotton just now without any
friends whatever, and a reaction in prices of
13 to 29 points for August. September and Oc
tober. and of 6-lUO:!57-iooc for the later
months—it will appear but natural that all
other circumstances are at present left out of
consideration. With few exceptions, all seem
to lie anxious to get rid of cotton before the
arrival of the new crop, and some are contin
uing to go short. Before and at the third call
there was an advance of a few points, and

GOVERNMENT IVY LAZY CLERKS.
A Butler or a Randall Needed to Work
a Revolution in the Departments.
Gen. Longstreet’s successor as Marshal
of Georgia, says a YY’asliinston special to
the New York Sun, has filed his bond and
taken the office. The General’s accounts
are unsettled. He complains of the ex
treme hardship of this. It is a hardship
which in the ordinary course of events
will not soon be remedied. It is not his
fault. It is in the Treasury Department.
The reason is the worthlessness of
officials whose business it is to handle
the ex-Marsbal’s accounts and settle
them. He has urged and expostulated
for ever so many months. He claims that
the government otves him a considerable
sum. An opposite idea is given out. Not
to settle the question is a great piece of
injustice either to the ex-Marshal and his
sureties or to the tax-payers of the United
States. Meanwhile, government clerks
systematically neglect this and other
business. They occupy their time in
loafing and doing almost everything else
than what they are paid lor. Some are
not qualified even if disposed to do their
best.
Every one is independent—not to say
defiant—of every one else. “1 will let
you know,” said a $1,500 clerk to his su
perior, who ventured to complain of bis
looseness and general inefficiency, “that
any attempt on your part to draw the
strings on me will end in the loss of your
own head. Do it if you dare!” No $3,-
000 or $4,000 official dared.
Longstreet’s case is among many. Some
are worse. There are eases where busi
ness has been left undone for years be
cause clerks did not choose to do it. Only
a part of the time spent by them in idle
ness, reading novels or papers, and in
various ways chosen to shirk their duty,
would suffice to clear up everything.
Officials w’hose duty it is to apply the
remedy know these things, but dare not
act. In some cases they are completely
dominated by their inferiors, and have
become parties to disgraceful negligence,
disregard of responsibility, and increas
ing demoralization in the service. This
state of things has long existed, and is
growing worse. Time only aggravates
the worst features ot this demoralization
and accelerates its progress. The service
grows worse and worse where the re
sponsibilities are greatest.
One need not go outside of the Treasury
Department to find proof of the worst that
has been said in support of the demand
for reform.
“YV'bat part of the present force do their
work as men do in the ordinary pursuits
of life?”
This question was put to an official
whose opportunities enabled him to give
an intelligent answer. His reply' was:
“Less than half, posslblv not more than
one-fourth.”
“What proportion could be sent adrift
and the work sufler no injury?”
“At least one-third,’’ was the answer.
“YYhat is the remedy?”
“A radical change in the government.
Nor would that do if the new hands had
not become equal to the task through
experience in government affairs. Such
knowledge as a Butler or a Randall pos
sesses is necessary to the accomplishment
ot the needed reform.”
It is the testimony of some of the best
men in the serY’ice that the new civil ser
vice law has aggravated some of the very
worst evils. ‘‘The wrong dominates,”
said an old employe. “The inefficient rule
in many cases. The claims of public
business are outweighed by the prompt
ings to idleness. There is a low sense of
responsibility generally. It is only the
comparatiY’ely few who feel it as they
ounht.”
There is a class of clerks, actuated by
the right feeling, who do not onlv their
own work, but much ot that of’others.
In this way the public business is kept
up as well as it is. In spite of this, there
are papers that have been knocking about
among the rubbish so long that they are
almost forgotten, and will be unless some
convulsion brings them torth.
The systPin of doing business in the
Treasury Department and in the depart
ments generally is such as to make it im
possible for the Secretary to know how
matters Official routine prevails. It
walls in inefficiency and faithlessness. It
is only by chance that any true knowl
edge obtains. Under the plan of making
no noise about what is wrong, the knowl
edge is seldom tollowed by anything more
than a spasm, which is quickly over.
The head of the department is probably
the most ignorant of all of the exact can
dition of the service. It is the interest ol
subordinates to keep what might prove
disagreeable out of sight. YVere he fully
informed, he would be simply amazed,
and probably content himself with hoping
that matters would get no worse.
YVhen Burnside’s thefts began to come
to light, the First Comptroller's office was
convulsed. Burnside’s accounts had
never been settled. All bands were set to
work to get up the accounts. Then was
done what had been neglected for years.
The Comptroller’s time had been given to
the remarkable decisions and opinions of
which he is the author, and which,
though of no account, cost the govern
ment hundreds of thousands of dol
lars annually. But for this negligence
thousands would not have been lost. But
no notice was taken of this obliviou9ness
to responsibility in the First Comptrol
ler’s office. No one was held to account,
much less instantly dismissed from office.
YVork on opinions and decisions soon went
on as before. Important work is neglect
ed to enable them to go to the Public
Printer. If some other or a dozen other
officials are stealing, the First Comp
troller does not know it any more than he
did in the case of Burnside, who stole
when he knew that scrutiny had been
withdrawn.
• So, faintly described, is it in the Treasu
ry Department. There are six other de
partments. No claim Is set up that one is
superior to another in respect to efficiency
and moral tone. It is a revolution that is
ueeded.
BELLE BOYD.
The Far-Famed Spy of the Last War in
St. Louis—On the Way to Chicago to
Place Her Daughter in a Seminary.
Among the arrivals at the Union depot
yesterday morning, says the St. Louis
Jlepublican of Aug. 12, were Mrs.
J. 8. Hammond and daughter, of Dallas,
Texas. Under this name the lady is un
known almost to the world. Mrs. Ham
mond is no less a personage than “Belle
Boyd,” the famous Confederate spy.
“Belle Boyd,” during the war was one
of the most noted characters of the coun
try’s histoi-y, and her exploits were full of
daring and cunning. She was born and
in the Shenandoah valley, Y’irgina,
reared on a farm, or rather plantation.
YY’hen a mere child she evinced a marked
fondness for outdoor life and masculine
sports, and was what the world calls a
“Tom boy.” Nothing pleased her so much
as a horse race, a hunt or l'ox chase. She
had passed her 20th year when the war
broke out. Being Southern, of a wild,
dashing, courageous and partisan nature,
intensely Southern in her feelings, she
felt as though she must do something lor
the “cause.” She hud taken such promi
nent part in local atfairs that she could
not remain at home with safety, and at
last sought shelter in a Confederate camp.
She then began her career as a spy, and
soon developed into a most wonderful
character. Her exploits were many and
of a mostdaring and romantic nature. At
the close of the war she was married to
Col. J. S. Hammond, a Confederate, who
served in Gen. Lee’s command. Ham
mond was a member of a distinguished
Southern family, and made a good soldier,
liainmond was the possessor of consider
able means, and some years ago settled
near Dallas, Texas, where he farmed on
a rather large scale. A few years ago
the Uammonds removed to Dallas, and
11. M. Hammond took a prominent posi
tion with the Bradstreet Commercial
agency. The famous “Belle Boyd” had
almost dropped from the ntjnds of
the public, until brought forth
on Aug. 3, by the an
nouncement through the Republican that*
Hammond had created an intense sensa
tion on the streets of Dallas by assault
ing Ray Shepherd, a young lawyer of
that town, charging him with undue fa
miliarity with liis wife. Shepherd Yvas
severely punished by Hammond. Ham
mond made many and most serious
charges against Mrs. Hammond, declar
ing her guilty of spending money extrava
gantly, and running him in debt with a
recklessness simply unbearable. Mrs.
Hammond applied for a divorce, and on
the 4th, the day following the street fight,
Mrs. Hammond filed her petition, charg
ing Hammond Yvith jealousy, brutal treat
ment, etc.
“1 have left him, and for good,” re
marked Mrs. Hammond to a gentleman at
the Union depot yesterday. “We have
not lived happily together for some years.
Ile-jwas jealous of me, and became
cross and crabbed, and rendered me most
miserable. I have sued for a divorce, ali
mony and the custody of our four chil
dren.”
Mrs. Hammond is about 45 years of
age, 5 feet 8 inches high, and of a
handsome figure. She has a bright rest
less and expressive grey eye, fair of fea
tures and has a suit of red hair, which
she wears in a very plain manner. She
is a pronounced blonde and a woman
whose physiognomy is of a striking
character. Her manners are Y’ery attrac
tive and her conversational powers are
excellent. She is what is termed a good
talker, having seen much*of the Yvorld
and been a close observer. She has four
children, the eldest a handsome daughter
of 18, now at a Southern seminary. The
eldest daughter is said to bear a striking
resemblance to her mother, possessing
many of the features that have rendered
the mother notorious. Accompanying
Mrs. Hammond was her 12-year-old
daughter, a handsome girl, who will be
placed in a female school in Chicago.
Mrs. Hammond spent some months in
Europe at the close of the war, and en
joyed many steeplechases with the Prince
of YY’ales and other notables of the Old
YY’ orld.
A LAND OF SMOKE.
Inside Y'icw of Life in a Remote Mexi
can Minins Y’alley.
One of the principal indications of a
forthcoming mining stampede In Mexico,
says a Mexican mining paper, is smoke.
Cigarettes, of course, produce the smoke.
They grow luxuriantly between the teeth
of the virago, the sandaled peon, the arro
gant official, the charming senorita, and
ripen every ten minutes from 5 o’clock in
the morning till 11 at night. Smoke forms
the morning, midday and evening repast,
backed bv beans and wheaten shorts, or
tortillas.
A mining excitement is not spontane
ous, as it has to break out in the same
manner as it did 300 years ago. A Mexi
can always does everything as his ninth
generation grandpa did it.
A stampede to a placer country usually
occurs in this manner: A sandaled Mexi
can brings in placer gold and shows It to
a merchant who tries it. [Smokes.]
Looks it over. [Smokes.]
Tests it foniron. [Smokes.]
Pours acid on it. [Smokes.]
Gazes carefully at it. [Smokes.]
YVeigbs it. [Throws his cigarette away
and lights another and smokes.]
Computes its value In his bead, and
wonders how much he can steal.
[Smokes.]
Makes the sandaled proprietor an otLr
for it. [Smokes.]
Prospector refuses liis offer. [More
smoke.]
A second offer is made. [Still more
smoke.]
Prospector takes it. [Both smoke.]
Merchant pays the prospector in old
goods at a double rate, smokes and de
clares that he has been beaten.
The prospector goes to his house and
tells his wife of bis find, embellishing it in
a manner not equalled by Munchausen.
His wife tells her campadioj, who tells his
est osa. She tells her camaure, who tells
her mano, who embellishes it tohisprima,
who relates It to her primo, who exagger
ates to his hermano’s viuda, who stretches
it to her padre, who complacently lies to
his hijo, who *ets the cat out or the bag to
his amigo, who reports it to his novia,
wao paints it lively to her madre, who
tells her padre politico, who represents it
to his tio, who remarks it to his
tia, who gives It currency to the gente,
and the Yvhole town has got it and congre
gate at the prospector’s humble adobe
house, which “is their own,” as polite
ness forces him to state. He now for the
second time relates the tale of his discov
ery to the admiring populace, lying with
increased vigor. He is asked when he is
going out, and replies manyana—to-mor
row—an indefinite period of time in the
future, according to the Mexican usage
of the word. Some interest and a great
deal of smoke is taken in his story.
More talk and considerable smoke next
day, with increased interest. Considera
ble more maxillary movement and exag
geration of interest on the third day.
On the fourth day jawbone and smoke
ne\ er lags, and the discovery assumes the
sized a mountain ot gold.
Fifth day—General preparation to go
out to the new find.
Sixth day—All the town smokes.
Seventh day—Cavalcade moves out a
mile or so, camps and smokes.
On the eighth day the vanguard arrives
at the diggings; smoke and a viewing of

THE ROAI) TO THE ALTAIC
Prince Bismarck and a Son of tlie Duke
or Argyll.
London Truth says that the follow
ing story appears in a recent number of
the German serial, “Deutsche Roman-
Bibliothek,” under the title of “The Road
to the Altar:”
A younger son of the Duke of Argyll hav
ing become engaged to Lady , as in
duty bound, asked his father's congfcnt.
The Duke, however, answered: “Since my
eldest son, the Marquis of Lome, married
the daughter of the Queen, our sovereign,
be has become the head of our horse. You
must obtain his consent. If you get
that, you may rest assured mine will not
be refused.” To the Marquis his brother
accordingly betook himself; but from him
he received the following answer: “As I
am son-in-law to the Queen, duty and re
spect require that the matter should be
referred to her for her decision. I will at
once lay the matter before her.”
To the Queen goes the Marquis immedi
ately and informs her of his brother’s
wishes, The Monarch, however, replied:
'‘Since heaven deprived me of my noble,
ever lamented husband, I have made it an
inflexible rule to take no step in the affairs
of my house without first referring the
matter to my brother-in-law, the Duke of
Coburg. 1 will write to him.”
The Queen did as she promised, but
front the Duke she received the following
answer, instead of the consent she ex
pected: “Y’our Majesty, my beloved sis
ter, is well aware that during the last
four years important political changes
have taken place in Germany, in conse
quence of which the centre of gravity
has been shifted from Coburg to Berlin.
1 therefore consider it my duty to submit
the matter to the Emperor YVilliant, for
hint to decide. I cannot take the re
sponsibility on myself.” To Berlin, ac
cordingly, goes the Duke, begs an audi
ence ot the Emperor and acquaints him
with the object of his visit.
After considering the matter within
himself a short time, the Emperor said:
“YVhat I have fought for and attained for
my country is well known to the whole
world. People, however, have no idea
how my heart is tortured by discord and
disagreements in the circle of my family
and among my Ministers. However, I
must honorably confess that the Prince
Bismarck is the wisest and most clear
sighted of my advisers. I give you the
commission to refer the matter to him and
let him decide.”
The Duke then directs his steps to the
YY’ilhelm, strasse, aud sjnds in his card to
the mighty Minister. Being immediately
admitted, he reads the Queen’s letter,
faithfully reports tlie words of the
Emperor, and begs for a favorable de
cision. The Chancellor’s answer was
given without hesitation: “Why should
the matter require any decision of mine?
What have we to do with the Duke of
Argyll or with his son? If the youmr
fellow wishes to marry, let him do so, and
be hanged to him.”
