It is stated that Gen. Butler smokes fifteen cigars a day. Perhaps that is why he is such a good hand at puffing himself. The candidate who is really making a still hunt for the Presidency is probably Ellsworth. Perhaps, however, ha is mak ing a Presidential hunt for a still. An exchange says: “-The election of Belva A. Lockwood means every husband home at 9p. in.*’ Don’t let the husbands knew it ii you want her elected. Butler claims that bis alleged party has the balance of power in the Presidential contest. No doubt of it, but it Is mostly wind power, and net a cyclone at that. Both the Republicans and Labor party men promise to help reelect Gov. C urtin, of Pennsylvania, notwithstanding the formidable Democratic split in his dis trict. A Nashville man advertises for “a situ ation as coachman in a wealthy family. IVages no object.’’ Neither will he object to his master being the proprietor ot a pretty daughter. The Nashville detectives have found clues which point to a white bootblack as the murderer of the 12-year-old boy who was killed near that city and robbed of toO two weeks ago. At a sale of Holstein cattle in New York the other day heifers averaged about S3OO, while bulls sold for considerably under s2>#>. The prices obtained were about half that demanded for .Jerseys. The next time John A. Logan goes through West Virginia, he will carry a chew of tobacco in his mouth, or prepare himself for any emergency by taking lib eral doses of Perkins’ patent expectorant. The Republicans who were boasting on Wednesday of 30,000 majority in Ohio have crawled very far down towards the little erd of the horn, and they will doubtless get entirely outside of it by Nov. 5. King E. W. Cole, of Nashville, has bought and presented to the county a man sion and sixty-five acres of ground near the city to be used as a house of refuge. The people still believe that he is a “mer ry old soul.” A snake charmer named Lillie Thornton, attached to a show now doing Sew Jersey, eloped the other day with two ycung lads who were traveling with the concern. Her heart was too large to be £ lied by one lover. Another prominent Republican, who is also a leading woolen manufacturer of New Hampshire, has bolted Blaine. The Cleveland column is rapidly growing in the Granite State, and the now covers the hillsides all round W. E. Chandler's mansion. The dairymen, so called, of Washington city have agreed to allow the cow-owuers 20 cents per gallon for milk during the w inter season, an increase of 5 cents per gallon over the summer price. It is not stated what price they are willing to pay for chalk and water. When Democrats and Independents pass around the cigars they remark, “burn this.” “Don't burn that letter 1” shouted au enthusiastic auditor at the conclusion of the reading of Gov. Tllden’s letter at the business men's meeting in New York. It “brought down the house,” The Chicago Times starts the Demo cratic pyramid for the campaign with* West Virginia and Arkansas. Was the Times asleep on Oct. 1, or did it fail to notice our little State election just be cause the corpse of the Republican party in Georgia was not even able to rise up and howl? Secretary McPherson, of the Republi can Committee, has addressed a three jcolumn open letter to the Chairman of the Pennsylvania Independent Republican Committee which D meant as a specif plea to Republican voters. Can it be possible that he fears that Pennsylvania Is a doubtful State? The fatal climate of the African coast •will doubtless greatly retard the develop ment of trade and the establishment of European colonies in the Conga country. The late of the hundreds of missionaries, commercial men and explorers who have succumbed to the African fever will haTe the effect to prevent thou sands, who would otherwise do so, from rushing to the dark continent in search of wealth, influence and power. The instol and club policy worked so well in Ohio at the election last Tuesday that the Republicans are preparing to run the same schedule at Chicago at the Presidential election. They propose, not only to arm United States Deputy Mar shal's with revolvers, but to call out the Blaine aud Logan clubs to stand at the polls. This is regarded by the Democrats as an invitation to a regular battle, and both sides will probably be prepared for anything that turns up. There is little doubt that there will be lively times in Chicago at the election. Mr. Henry Bergh, the monomaniac on the subject of preventing cruelty to ani mals. has come off second best in a little pass with Mr. Robert Banner, the owner of Maud S. Mr. Bergh wrote Mr. Bonner a courteous note, in which he protested against the trotting of the mare in repeat ed trials to beat her record “under whip and spur.” Mr. Bonner replied that no whip is used in driving her, and that the use of a spur on the occasions referred to is known by everyone who has driven a horse to any kind of vehicle to lie impos sible. He says: “Both her trainer and her groom have a positive affection for the mare, and would not for a moment think of treating her cruelly. Let me give you an instance of her groom’s af fection tor her. He sleeps on a cot in her stall, and one night recently when the weather was warm but threatened to turn cold, he purposely went to bed with very little clothing on himself, knowing that if it turned cold during the night he would teel it and would wake up, when he could put additional clothing on the mare. If the men who figure in divorce suits would treat their wives half as kindly as this our courts would not have so much to do.” No doubt this reply was satisfactory to Mr. Bergh. The Doubtful States. Each of the two great political parties has had sufficient time since the Ohio and West Virginia elections to take a full and comprehensive view of the political situ ation, and to reach a conclusion relative to what must be done to triumph in No vember. Each party claims an advant age from last week’s skirmish, and each professes to feel confident of success in November. The tiuth is that each party recognizes that the November battle is to be won 1 by skillful management, hard work and untiring vigilance. The result in Ohio and West Virginia helped neither party to any appreciable extent. Each held what really belonged to it. Ohio is a R>- publican State and, doubtless, will give a Republican majority in November. West Virginia is a Democratic State, and in November will be found in the Democratic column. If in Tuesday’s contest there was any advantage gained by either party it was gained by the Democratic party, because the Republican majority of 18So in Ohio was cut down, and the Demo cratic majority of the same year in West Virginia was slightly increased. The leaders of each party are now pre paring to expend nearly all their strength in the four doubtful States of New York. New Jersey, Connecticut and Indiana. In these Suites the Democrats have a marked advantage. New Jersey gave a ma jority over the Republicans in IsSQ of over 2,000. It now has a Democratic adminis tration. Connecticut gave a Republican majority in 1880 of a little over 2,000, but now has a Democratic administration. The Independent Republican party is strong there and can be depended upon to j give Cleveland a large vote. With the help of the Independent Republican vote there is scarcely a doubt that Cleveland will get the State. Indiana has a small Democratic majority but a large floating vote. In ISSO the Republican plurality ' was 6 641. The party that gets the float ing vote will probably get the State. The Democrats have just as good a chance to ! get at least half of that vote as the Re publicans have. It is believed, and with very good reason, that the Republicans spent so much in the September and Ohio elections that they will not have much to spend to buy votes in November. The great struggle will be for New York. Blaine will be there in a few days, and doubtless will endeavor to pass over every railroad line in the State and make speeches at each station. Leading Re publican orators will be sent to every i county and an unprecedented effort will be made to bring out every Republi can voter. Republicans will be told that their party needs their help as it never needed it before, and that they must sink all personal considerations for the good of the party. The Democrats will be no less earnest and active. The National Democratic Committee ha 9 already shown that it is ready for the work that it has in hand by issuing the ringing address that was published yes terday. Cleveland will not go about the State drumming up voters, but the party managers will see to it that every Demo crat is warned of the necessity of doing his duty on Nov. 4. Blaine has nothing in his favor in New York, except that the State was carried for Garfield in 1880. What has Cleveland to depend on? (1.) The phenomenal ma jority which he got in 1882 for Governor will help him, because it will lead many to believe that he is certain to carry the State. (2.) The fact that New Y’ork is his State wiil bring him votes, because many will support him from State pride. (3.) The stalwart faction of the Republican party hate Blaine, and many of them will either vote against him or refuse to vote at all. (4. ) Tne bolting Republicans will poll many thousands of votes for Cleve land. -Their committee says they have a list ol 06,000. (5.) The Prohibition vote is certain to be large, and it will be al most wholly drawn from the Republicans. With all these advantages it cau hardly be possible for Cleveland to lose the State. The Republicans will not be able to conduct the campaign so vigorously as they have for the remaining time before the election because they about exhausted themselves in the September and October skirmishes. There is no question that they have spent hundreds of thousands of dollars already. It is not probable that thev can collect many hundreds of thou sands of dollars more. The Republicans placed great reliance for assistance on Butler, but the fact that the Butler move ment is rapidly losing its grip is so ap parent that few believe it will amount to much by election day. Cleveland cer ta inly has the inside track in the race. Hurtl and Follett. While the Republicans and some other protectionists are rejoicing over the de feat of Congressmen Hurd and Follett in Ohio, there 6eems to be very 6trong grounds to believe that if there had been no Republican frauds in the district now represented by these two gentlemen they would not have been defeated. Hurd was defeated by Romeis by a plurality of only 253 votes, and the vote of the city of Toledo is claimed to have been over 3,000 greater than its population justifies. Hurd’s friends are busily engaged in ferreting out the frauds, and they claim that negroes were imported from Kentucky, and hauled clear ac^_, s the State in large by the Republican agents, who were supplied with an abundance of money for the purpose. It is to he hoped that the evidence of the frauds will be obtained, and that Hurd may yet succeed himself. Hurd is one of the most promi nent men in Congress, and his eloquence and ability are acknowledged and ad mired even by these who oppose him. His record in reference to tariff reform was so clear, and marked with such great boldness, that the protectionists deter mined to spare neither pains nor expense to secure his defeat. His speech on the Morrison bill, and his addresses on the stump during the campaign, were model efforts, and his arguments were as power ful as his diction was elegant. The telegraph has already given pretty full accoudts o? the scenes which took place on election day in Cincinnati. Fol let was, defeated by about 1,500 majority. Riot and bloodshed, precipitated.by Re publican ruffians who wore official badges, held sway at many of the voting places. Thousands of imported negroes openly paraded the streets, and under the protection of United States Deputy Marshals, many of the officers be ing specials appointed from among the negroes and the roughs ot the city. It is claimed that at least 6,000 illegal votes were polled in Cincinnati, and if this can be proved no doubt Follett will contest the election and get his seat. A Cincinnati paper states that the num ber ol Deputy Marshals in the service ot the Republicans in that city was al>out 3.C00, and that two-thirds of them were ignorant and brutal negroes remarkable for their utter depravity. Notone-fourth of these Deputy Marshals, it says, were able to read or write, and a very large proportion of them were not citizens of the state, but came from over the Ohio river. It is not to the discredit of either Hurd or Follett, the Ohio revenue reformers, that they were defeated through fraud. It is better for a man to be defeated than to be elected by such means. Such men can only be silenced for a season—they cannot be permanently retired from pub lic life. While Mr. George Washington Childs, A. M., yf the Philadelphia Ledger , has announced that he will assist in the resto ration of the church where Shakespeare’s remains lie. it is not probable that he will be allowed to contribute any obituary verse on the occasion of its rededication. THE SAV A.NNAH MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY, OCTOBER 19. 1884, Alaska and Its Resources. The recent inauguration of a rude kind of civil government in Alaska will doubt less make life and property more secure in that territory than it has teen, and will tend somewhat to encourage the develop ment of its resources, such as they are. Volume eight of the tenth census just is sued contains an interesting report on the population, industries and resources of Alaska, which •will correct the false im pressions which have been formed by many concerning it. It is not generally known that the area ef the territory is nearly one-sixth that of the whole United States, including the other territories. The fur interests eclipse all others, in fact nothing else in Alaska has as yet assumed any special import ance. The value of furs purchased from the natives for the ten years ending with 18*0 was $3,033,764 20. The report shows that the tim ber growth ol the territory is much more extensive than has been supposed, but the distance from market will probably prevent it from becoming very valuable for a long time. The same is true in re lation to the fisheries.which areextensive, but not profitable. The report mentions the discovery of gold, silver and coal, but the mines do not promise anything re markable. It is denied that the soil is sterile, but the climate is so severe that cereal crops ; cannot be grown, and, owing to the long winters, stock raising cannot be carried on with success. It seems that flowers are the principal productions of tee soil, hundreds of beautiful wild roses and an nnals covering plain and forest land every where. The whole trade oi the territories, not including furs, is not over $200,000 a year, and that is practically monopolized by a few persons or companies. This report is doubtless a fair one, but it does not give ground to hope for much for the fu ture of Alaska. There is nothing there to attract immigrants, although there have been wild rumors circulated concerning the mineral wealth of the territory. Alas ka appears to be a good place to keep away from, even if it now has a Governor, a district attorney and four commission ers to be fed from the public crib. Chinese Business Systems. The last issue of the United states con sular reports is devoted wholly to the credit and trade systems of different countries. These reports, as is well-known, are pub lished monthly by the State Department. They contain a vast amount of informa tion gathered by our Consuls in different parts of the world. This information is often cf a special character, called for by circulars sent cut by the State Depart, ment. The facts furnished relative to the trade and credit systems are both inter esting and valuable. The reports from the various Consuls show that Euroj>e has the most unlimited credit system, and that the people pay more for what thev consume, comparirg the prices they pay with the prices paid the wholesale dealer and the manufac turer, than the people of any other coun try. In Europe long credits are regarded as necessary to secure business. Al though the C hinese are regarded, to a cer tain extent, with contempt, by nations more advanced in civilization their busi ness system presents features that are worthy ot imitation. Indeed, it would not, perhaps, be too much to 6ay that the Chinese are model business men. The report of Charles Seymour, our Consul at Canton, on the Chinese business systems, while brief, presents the main points of these systems. It is as follows: It seems to be the custom in Canton, and, so far as I can learn, throughout Southern China, to extend libera! credits in business transactions, and with com paratively little inconvenience or disap pointment in settlements, wnich are gen erally made semi-annually. Before the beginning of the new year, which is in the second week of February, the seals are almost universally locked up. and remain so during that month. It is customary to affix the vermilion seals to all receipts for money payments, ac cording to the commercial customs of the : nations with which the Chinese had com merce over twenty centuries ago, in cluding not only the Romans and Per- j sians, but the Babylonians. The closing j of the seals implies that all business mat- j ters have been adjusted, and such is the , fact with rare exceptions. It is almost universally assumed in this part of China that the business or pecuni ary obligations of all solvent individuals, firms and companies will be honorably met and fully discharged before the end of the Chinese year. All delinquents then pass into the dishonored class, and are soon put under process of coercive termi nation of a business career, aud are sub ject to punishment by bamboo blows. By reference to the Chinese penal code, it appears that the act of obtaining prop erty under false pretenses is treated as theft, both as to the nature of the crime aud the severity of ’ unishment. No duti ful son feels absolved from discharging his father’s debts. Adversity occasioned by unavoidable circumstances is regarded with indulgence; failure caused by profli gacy or hazardous ventures or r:kless ness admits of no countenance. Besides the annual settlements, which are full and clean, it is customary among commercial men to demonstrate their sol vency, and promote their mutual safety and comfort, and approximately cover aii balances to their mutual satisfaction i u the middle of the Chinese year, or about Aug. 1. Thus, by seini-annuai settlement, all Chinese business concerns with any pro ’Uasions to solvency and solidity attend regularly and sacredly to these customs, which serve to inspire all concerned with mutual confidence, and this observance of good faith gives every man a feeling of se curity which results in solid credit and commercial safety. A well-known and verified case of strict regard for good credit among the Chinese merchants might be cited in the action of an extensive and opulent merchant named Houqua, who was. during the middle of the present century, a leader in the com merce of Canton, and left an estate vari ouslv estimated at from $25,C00,000 to $50,- 000,000. On the occasion of a Chinese firm fail ing, with large indebtedness to foreign merchants, under circumstances that were deemed dishonorable, Houqua called upon half a dozen wealthy merchants to join him in paying off the total indebted ness of the insolvent Chinese firm, and headed the subscription with $1,000,000, remarking that “Chinese credit must re main untarnished.” This is the same Houqua who raised the portion of the $6,000,000 of “indemnity” or ••ransom” which had to be paid by the Chinese autorities within forty-eight hours to prevent the bombardment of Canton bv the English, when Houqua cheerfully contributed $1,100,000; SIOO,OOO of which* he gave in recognition of the fidelity ot his sou, $200,000 ot which he do nated in token of the affection of his be loved wite, and s£oo,ooo as a thank-offer ing for the prosperity that had invariably attended him in his commercial enter prises,” as appears cn public record. Alout Capital Punishment. The success that has attended efforts to resuscitate the apparently drowned, and those who appeared to have died from strangulation, suggests that some mate rial change in the present method almost universally adopted in this country for the execution of criminals may soon have to be made. This subject has often been discussed from a scientific and humani tarian point of view, but as yet no very considerable interest has been taken in it by officials and law-makers. If it is true, however, that it is possible in many in stances to reanimate the bodies of those who have been hanged, the question of change will soon become an important and urgent one. In casting about for a substitute for hanging electricity appears to combine many advantages for the termination of the lives of criminals. If properly handled it is claimed that it insures speedy, sure and comparatively painless death. Be sides it sheds no blood and leaves the body almost without a tissue being brok en. Neither the gun, the sword, the club or the guillotine would be tolerated by the people of this enlightened land, as these instruments all cause the shedding of blood, and poison, of course, would not be seriously thought of. There can be little doubt that electricity w ill, at some future day, be the almost universal medium for the execution of criminals. There appears, therefore, to be another field for electrical invention —the devising of apparatus for the scientific ending of human life. It would be a great improvement or the old plan to have those who commit capital crimes put to death by experienced electricians. A change in the law in this matter would probably involve a slight increase in the expenses attending executions, and probably in verymany instances the felon | would have to be sent out of his county to be executed, but the old, rude and thug like mode of punishment would be done away with, and the bungling and blun dering of Sheriffs and their deputies at executions would be things of the past, CURRENT COMMENT.

SPEAKiNti o£ a fatal accident to a white man while driving a gin, a Georgia paper i says: “We are at a loss to understand why so j m any accidents of this kind occur to white , men and so few to negroes.” A ymBlR of leading diamond experts in I New York have decided that it is impossible ■ to paint a second-class stone so as to give it the brilliancy of a first-water gem. The re cent stories about painted gems, they declare, are purely sensational. Dr. I>esch4mf3 asserts that the microbe of scarlet fever is a bacillus, shaped like a hair, with a long swelling of the upper part. It reproduces rapidly, but is easily killed by all the leading disinfectants, particularly bv the new chemical, thymol. Nearly all the leading ale and beer brew ! ers in New York district either own or are connected with stock farms, to which they send their spent gram and twill. One brewer has a farm on which there are 70 cows, 200 swine and 50 horses. The animals are said to thrive well. The British Government will, immediately on the meeting of Parliament, introduce a hill creating a Secretary for .Scotland. The Earl of Dalhousie will be the first. Both the Earl of Rosebery and the Earl of Fife de clined the office daring Mr. Gladstone's recent visit to Scotland. Avery queer accident, which might, if it bad proyed serious, been construed into a suicide, happened last Sunday at Tuskegee, Ala. Mr. Barney Du Bose, while ringing the church bel.’, was caught around .he neck bv the rope and jerked up about seven feet, very near choking the life cut of him before ne could extricate himself. Ix New York city 1H.519 pupils are enroll ed at the public schools, and the avertge daily attendance in September was 129.C65. The en rollment is 4.497 larger and the attendance 334 smaller than in September, ISS3. For lack of accommodation 2,537 applicants, 752 of them in the Twelfth ward and 326 in the Twenty second ward, have been turned away. The FlnanceCommittee asks for |3,S6vs)o for next year. A P aris paper tells of anew science, pilo graphie, the art of discriminating character by the beard. Close-growing hair indicates a vigorous temperament and a decided temper: coarse hair, obstinacy; fine hair, refinement and erratic tendencies; curly heads appertain to brilliant and sprightly but superficial per sons; harsh, to amiable but cold natures. The character of a man is variously indicated ac cording as he wears his hair, beard, mous tache, etc. AT the Giisey House, New York, Thursday night, a lively discussion over the result in Ohio led to talk of betting between a number of Democrats, The arguments became heated, and Mr. At Smith and William Wvse went off to the rooms of the Republican state Com mittee in the same hotel. A1 Smith threw twenty 41.000 bills on the table, and offered to bet the entire amount that Cleveland would carry New York. Jake Hess and Barney Big lin happened to be there, and each ol them took 4i,i<W of the amount offered. Tint two-tailed rai has again made it3 ap pearance in the dime museums. The animal is not a lu*u* natures, but the victim of arti septic surgery. The tail of a healthy rat is ent off anu inserted in a V-shaped cut in the nose of a second. Antiseptic dressings are applied, and the four limbs tied to a little frame to prevent scratching the new append age. The second tail “sets” in twenty-four hours, and in four days nervous connection is established. Thereafter the rodent guards its front tail as zealously as the other. When the late Secretary Folger was a mem ber of the New York State Senate, at the close of the debate on the famous T weed char ter, two Senators, who were strongly sus pected of having accepted bribes, rose to give their reasons for voting against their party. One of them, turning toward Mr. Folger and the other faithful Republicans, expressed re gret at having to differ with them, and then quoted: “Tib hard to part with friends so dear!'’ ‘‘How dear?" cried Folger, quick as a flash; “will the Senator name his price?” The death of a soldier at Sarrss. according to the London Telegraph, has called attention to the prevalence of crocodiles in the Nile. Though such tragedies are not likely to be frequent, vet it is improbable that the cam paign of Khartoum will close without the crocodiles again becoming disagreeable corn pan ons. For the craftiness and patience of these voracious creatures are so great that, in spite of all the caution of those who live on the banks of waters which they infest, a trib ute of lives, animal and human, is paid annu ally to the great tyrant of the river. Thebe is some agitation in Vermont in fa vor of increasing the galary of the Governor, which is now ILOOO a year, and the Kutland Herald, in advocating it, says: “The trouble w ith Vermont is that it is at once the most ex travagant and the most stingy State in the Union. It will recklessly pass legislation of the most costly character to the State under the stimulus of a crazv yell for reform, and it will place a premium on stupid or knavish service by refusing to pay public officers hold ing important trusts, requiring a large bond, decent remuneration for their responsibility and labor.” A gentleman behind me is relating his trials on the Dutch frontier. The customary question, “Have you any linen that has been worn?” was put by the official. The gentle man replied that he had a night shirt in fcts bag which had been worn the night before, but could not be juativ termed soiled. and as he had been in no cholera-infected district it could not be subjected to confiscation. The official, however, seized it, dipped it into a nauseous dish of carbolic acid and sulphate of copper, wrung it out, and handed it back to onr fine young gentleman, who is not jet over his disgust. He quietly laid the garment down and went to the Hague night-shirtless. Of the Viceroys of India the first,Lord Can ning, was English; the second, Lord Elgin, Scotch; the third. Lord Laurence, Irish; the fourth. Lord Mayo, Irish also; the fifth, sixth and seventh, Lords Northbrook. Little, and Ripon. were English. But now the appoint ment of Lord Duflferin re-establishes an Irish man on the viceregal throne. For some time it has been a common joke in London that ••our only General.” Woiseley. and “our only Ambassador,” Dufferin, were both Irish. This vicerovalty of India has been, through Duf ferin's whole career, his point of aspiration. It is a mistake to suppose that money is to be made, as in the days of Clive and Hastings, or saved out of the salary of 4125.00 P a year in the office, but it permits'the husbanding of pri vate fortune, and Lord Dufferin's finances need repair. Of his children, the second boy most inherits the brilliant qualities of the Sheridan race. Until within quite a recent period the Camese soldiers had no uniform. They were distinguished from civilians by a little badge which they carried on the breast, on which was written the word Ping (warrior). The Chinese rod of war, whose image may be seen in the temple of Ta-kien, at Pekin, is also represented in an ordinary costume, without anv military about it bevond the badge above"mentioned. Recently, when the Chinese armv was uniformed in the European stvie. the priests began to think of giving the cod of battle, a uniform ;but jnst what kind of 'a one to put on him was the puzzle. Whether to make ntm an infantry soldier, a cavalry man. an artilleryman, or an officer belonging to the engineer" corps, nobody could deter mine. In their perplexity they referred the nisner to the Minister "of Public Worship, who rep'icd: “Let the image of the god of armies have the costume that he has worn up to the present day, but hang up in his temple uniforms of all kinds. He himself will choose the one he prefers.” This advice was imme diately acted upon, and the result is that at thepreseht moment the Temple of Ta-kien looks like the shop of a costumer or the dress ing-room of a set of strolling players. The god is evidently not sati tied with "any of the uniforms, cr at least be has not yet made up his mind which one to take. About a year ago. in the personal column of a Cincinnati paper appeared an advertise ment from Sarah Orton, a widow, of Parker's Landing, Pa., soliciting correspondence. It was answered by Thomas Welch, a very light colored barber, of Indianapolis, and a corres eindence ensued, lasting until July.

COL THORN’S OLD PALACE THE RIVAL OF A FRENCH KING NO AY NEARLY FORGOTTEN. A Hospital Supplants Scene* of Gayety which were Once World-wide In Fame —A Misdelivered Check from Savan nah Taken for a Lottery Prize by an Illiterate New York Laborer. Correspondence of the Morning Metes. New York, Oct. 17.—1 never pass the big, square, brown stone house in West Sixteenth street, now a part of the New l’ork Hospital, without thinking of the contrast between its present occupants and its former owners. It was lormerly the residence of the late Col. Herman Thorn, who is still remembered on two continents as the dispenser of a hospitality that was more than princely in its lavish ingness. He kept open house, both in Europe and America, and his entertain ments, when he lived in Paris, during the reign ol Louis Phillippe, rivaled those of the Citizen King. In fact, Parisians pre ferred to be the guest of the rich Ameri can rather than of His Majesty. Two of Col. Thorn’s daughters married French noblemen, and, on the establishment of the empire, became ladies in waiting to the Empress Eugenie. The Colonel tired of Paris finally, and, returning to this country, built the house in West Six teenth street, which, for a Jong time, had few superiors, even in this city of handsome houses. Outside, however, it makes no pretensions to architectural elleet. It stands in the cen tre of a lot 100 feet square, equal to four ordinary lots, and at no time did it do more than impress the observer with an idea cl substantiality and wealth. A grand porch through which carriages drove was the only thing that distin guished it from several similar New Y’ork houses. There was a fountain in front. In the porch, on each side of the great double door, were two cast-iron dogs, which are now the property of Police In spector Thorne. Since" he purchased the dogs at the sale of Col. Thorn’s effects, about ten years ago. the Inspector has ! somewhat identified himself with the 1 family ol their former owner, and he curses the foolish vanity which made him, when a youth, add an e to his name, his father’s" name having been spelled the same as the Colonel's. Inside, the house showed evidence of taste as well as cost. In the centre was, and is still, I presume, a great circular hall floored with marble, around which wide stairs wound to the roof, in which was a reproduction in stained glass of Guido’s “Aurora.” Around this hall were grouped large apartments whose loftly ceilings were frescoed with copies of famous paintings, as well as with original designs The house, how ever, was not finished in a style commensurate with its cost and character. The handsome furniture, which Col. Thorn had selected himself and imported from Paris, was burned with the warehouse in which it was stored, and the Colonel was so disgusted by the calamity that he made no at tempts to replace the furniture with a fresh importation, and the native-made substitutes were comparatively plain and inexpensive. THE HOUSE DURING COL. THORN'S LIFE, and while his widow lived, was more like a hotel than a private residence, for ten of the Colcmels’ 14 children, with their wives, husbands and children, were the occu pants. As many as 25 people, even when there were no guests, which was very sel dom, sat at the big table in the great dining-room, and there were nearly or quite as many servants. Ordinarily," too, half a dozen guests dined with the "hospi table Colonel, so that a dinner lor more than 30 persons was served almost every day the year round. The money which supported this large establishment, like that of the Astors, came from the rise in New York real es tate. Mrs. I'jorn was the heir of the Jauncey, after whom the old Jauncey court was named, and the Jauncey farm comprised at one time no small part ot the upper western half of Manhattan Island. The site of the buildings now oc cupying Jauncey court, too, belonged to the same estate." One cannot think of the Thorn family without reflecting on the transitoriness of life. With one exception only the younger members of that large household which formerly leasted and made merry in what is now a hospital are alive. All but one of Col. Thorn’s fourteen children are dead. Eugene Thorn, Madame de Ferisac, and all the elder sons and daughters have passed away. One of the sons died a noble death. He had safely crossed a river in Mexico on horseb 'ek, when, looking around, he saw that his servant, less for tunate. was still struggling with the cur rent. The man’s horse was exhausted, and he was evidently about to drown. Mr. Thwrn went to iiis assistance, and perished in a vain endeavor to rescue him. It is not every employer who will risk his life to save that of a’servant. The sole survivor of Col. Thorn's 14 children is the youngest daughter. Ellen, who is the wife of EJward Kirkland. Mr! Kirkland is the son of the late Caarles P. Kirkland, a distinguished lawyer, and belongs to the family w hich gave a Presi dent to Harvard College towards the end of the first quarter of this century. The Indian Missionary Kirkland, who did so much to prevent the tribes ot the Six Na tions from aiding the English in the revo lutionary war,was a member of the same family. Tne" Thorn mansion was sold to the city for hospital purposes on Mrs. Thorn's death in 1873. Tne lower portion is used as offices, and the convalescing patients occupy the upper. Very different occu pants are they certainly’ from the mem bers of the prosperous family that once lived in the house, hut the "death rate among them is doubtless nothing like so great! THE POST OFFICE HERE PRIDES ITSELF on its efficiency, but I know of two in stances when it proved In one case very unenterprising and in the other it showed an enterprise of the kind that is termed too previous. Some years ago the then editor of the Denver -Veins sent his photo graph to a friend in this city belonging to the family of Abner Meilen, the South American hair importer, who at that time lived in Park avenue. He wrote, how ever, Park place instead of Park avenue, and although Mr. Mellen's name was printed in the directory in type nearly half an inch long, the postal officials did not have the en rgy to inform themselves of the fact, and the photograph went to the dead letter office. It ultimately Sound its way back to Denver, and although the letter was signed only with initials, it was returned to the sender, the Denver postal officials recognizing the photograph. Within the past fortnight the same newspaper man, who is now in New York, discovered that a letter enclosing a check from your city had been sent nim, which he had failed* to receive. Investi gation discovered that the letter, being apparently addressed simply “New Y ork,” had been given by the mail car rier to a laborer who can neither read nor write, living in West Sixtieth street. This time the postal officers consulted the di rectory, and assuming one of the names they found there to be that of the owner of the letter {a gratuitous supposition, as only the initial of the first name was given in the address), thev handed over the let ter without asking the questions which would have revealed that the receiver was not the proper person. The letter was kicked about the labor er's lodging for about a fortnight, when it was opened and a neighbor read its contents. Now. the laborer had bought a ticket in the Havana lottery, and sup posing. so he says, that the check from Savannah was a prize which he had drawn, he boldly had it cashed, and told all his neighbors of his good luck. Much to his disgust, he is now engaged in pay ing back the German grocer who cashed the check in installments, the newspaper mar, who, by the way, being of the same name, he claims as a relation, not think ing, in view ot his ignorance, that he was a fit subject for prosecution. “THE OHIO ELECTION DON’T TROUBLE ME.” said Col. Jusson, Secretary of the Fire Department, to me at 12:30 o’clock this morning. “I am a Republican, and had I been a citizen of Ohio I would have voted the Republican tioket on Tuesday. The candidates were all good men, and the fact that the Republicans have nomi nated a bad man for President,was no rea son why they should not be supported. Although I snail vote for Cleveland. I shall vote for the Republican candidates for local offices.” The Colonel, previous to the Ohio election, said that Cleveland would get a majority in this State second only to his majority for Governor, and he shows no evidence of having charged his opinion. Col. Jusson expresses the sen timents of the Independents. Confident in their numbers, they believe that they will be the means of’giviDg the 36 votes of the Empire State to Cleveland, and while, with Col. Jusson. they are satisfied with Ohio’s going Republican on Tues day, many look forward to a reversal of its majority next month. I know of one, at any rate, who still claimed to be confi dent of winning a bet he inade that Ohio would go Democratic in November even before be had heard of the reduction of the majority from the figures first re ported. In view of that reduction the Democrats here consider that they have got out of a bad scrape pretty good, so to speak, and the grand demonstration of the business men of the metropolis given at the Acad emy of Music in honor of Gov. Cleveland last evening showed how little has the courage been dampened of those who hate most at stake in the political contest. As I write, the city of Brooklyn is alive with .enthusiasm over the great Democratic Governor who, rising above party, has united with the Republican Mayor to give the City of Churches good government. It is said" that Gov. Cleveland never signed a bill affecting Brooklyn without first con sulting with Mayor Low as to its expedi ency. THEATRICAL AUDIENCES, WHETHER IN THE BOWERY OR BROADWAY, all seem to favor Cleveland. I was at Daly's Theatre on Tuesday night, and was therefore witness to the applause with which Lewis’ “gag”—after reading a note in the play—“burn -this letter” is received. Tne audience laughed and cheered with hearty appreciation. After leaving the theatre 1 passed the crowd in front of the Fifth Avenue Theatre, which was trying to make head or tail of the sparse and contradictory figures displayed by the stereopticon at Fifth avenue and Twenty-third street. It was a Cleveland crowd," and when an announcement that the Ohio democratic State Committee claimed 7,500 majority was displayed, cheers for Cleveland were given with a will. Even when contradictory Republi can figures were given, there was no at tempt to cheer for Blaine. D. BOGUS BRIC-A-BRAC. How Relics are Made and Imposed Upon Credulous Millionaires. As I was going into the Wardour street shop of an acquaintance who deals in bric-a-brac, says a London letter, I was passed by a rough looking man mak ing a rapid exit. My friend was in a pas sion. Of course. 1 inquired the reason. “Did you see that wretch leaving as you entered ?” “Yes.” “Well, he’s the worst fraud in England in the matter of curios.” “Ah! invents bogus bric-a-brac, does he?” I gently inquired. “No, but he’s the agent for those who make it in France and Spain and try to foist it on the dealers here.” “How has the man ruffled you?” I asked. “Ruffled! Why, this is the second time he has tried to play bad business on me,” said the dealer. “You know what a diptych is, don’t vou?” I confessed I did not. “Well,” said the dealer in old trash, “a diptych is a couple of ivory tablets put together, and they were used by ’the old Greeks to write upon.” “What's the good of ’em ?” “They’re curiosities,” he replied. “There are few in existence. The British "Museum has two, said to have been in use in the time of Moses.” “Did that old gov get one of them?” 1 asked. “Why. that old guy, as you call him. is rolling in money,” said the dealer. “A piece of rare bric-a-brac himself then?” I remarked. “You wouldn't think these things, human or otherwise, one meets in your place, are worth any thing at all, and yet they command for tunes—from fools.” “That man whojust lelt,” continued the dealer, “came here a year ago, and with great secrecy produced from under his coat what seemed to be a rare diptych. He wanted £3OO for it. I’d bought it if he had said £SOO, but £3OO was like offering Buckingham palaee for the price of a villa. This made me suspicious. I ex amined it closely, and found it a patch work ol carved ivory, but the work was new, and consequently bogus. I said nothing, but refused to buyT The man, who is a good actor, begged* that I would not betray him, saying that he had stolen it from a monastery in Pavia.” “You didn’t buv ?” “No.” “Then why this rage?” “Well, only two weeks ago I was sent tor by a millionaire to valued some prop erty he had bought in Saxonv. I went to his residence, and the first thing my eyes lit on was this bogus diptych, which "mv disreputable visitor had managed to sell at last, thus cutting into my business.” “Did you betray the fraud?” “No; that would discourage the mil lionaire all through, and the genuine bric-a-brac trade would languish.” “And that fraudulent dealer?” “Oh, I had it out with him. He came : back to-day, as you saw. This time he had a twisted sword, manufactured in i Sheffield, which he wanted to sell as an old Damascus blade, but I gave him a 1 piece of my mind, and he was glad to skip.” “But he’ll sell the Damascus blade, 1 - suppose?” said I. “Of course he will, and to the same I millionaire, my old customer, perhaps, and I dare not show him up. Isn’t it an outrage?” exclaimed my furious friend, i I did not feel much pity for him, but I \ heard enough to entertain a wholesome suspicion ot the integrity and antiquity ■ of old curios, and this conversation may | be turned to profitable account by Ameri- : cans who are bric-a-brac hunting in I Europe at the present moment.
