dient of going upon a feigned spree and
jamming an inoffensive citizen’s bat over
hie syce. The reckless inebriate was
promptly arrested and fined; the girl
wrote a letter repudiating bim; her father
threatened to kick him ont ot '.doors if
ever he ventured near the bouse, and the
wily young man chuckled at the success
of his innocent stratagem.
Mb. Moodt is laboring at Baltimore.
Chief among the ovil* in the churches, bo
said in a sermon last week, aVe church
choirs—ungodiy men and women who
happen to hsvo good voices, and often
drunken organists. Mr. Moody denonn-
cod the methods omptoyed in raising
money by Churcn fairs. Lotteries, vMing
and rafllaa were encouraged. The young
men now, instead of going to a low gam
bling den, could go to God's Cbnrcb and
gamble. Actually, at ono Ohurch fair,
the sum of 25 cents was charged for the
privilege of kissing the handsomest young
woman in tbo church—pre.umaoly to
help the work of God.
Foa Euaora.—The steamers sailing
from New York for Kuropo Sslnrday were
the Uermsnto and Erie for Liverpool,
the Necktr for Bremen, tbo Bolivia for
Ulai,,:>w and the Scotia for Bristol. Tboy
look ont liberal cargoes of talaoellaneons
goods, comprising breadstuffj, provisions
dairy produots, dressed meat and manna
feotures. Tiio eggregato quantity, al
though considerable, was aomowhst un
der the nrcrago, some of the leading ar-
llolee, and especially live stook nod per
ishable goods, showing a perceptiblo fall
ing off. TboGermanio took ont 2,000
barrels of ojaters, the largest consign
ment nf tbo season. Other leading items
were 1,300 quarters end 150 tons beef,
together with 550 oarcassea eheep; grain,
111,200 baskets; flonr, 4,030 bids.; cot
ton, 4,517 bales; otiecss, 11,400 boxes;
bsoon, 0,867 boxes; batter, 2,807 pack
ages; cancel goods, 3,520 cases; apple:
3,420 bble.
A tounu English govoiness engaged
some months ago by a lady in Paris,
described as tho Baroness do T—, earned
off her infant daughter, and a search by
t be polico proved useless. Tho Baroness
while walking lately in a public garden,
perceived her child with a lady, and
covered its face with kisses. "I am much
flattered, Madame,” said tho lady,
tbo attraction yon fool for my daughter.'
"Your daughter? Bho is mine 1’
plied tho agitated Baroness. "Yon are
deceive! by n resemblance, Madame. |
am the Countess do L., nod this child is
mine.” "If shots yours,” said tho Baro
ness, folding tbo child in hor arms,
"come and claim her beforo the Commis
sary of Police.” Whon beforo tho magis
Irate, tho Countess, upon oath, was com
pelled to acknowledgo that sho had bought
i he child from n young woman who stated
that it had neither father, mother, nor
known relatives. A fow days afterward
sho married, and in order to legitimatize
tho child causod her to bo registered on
the Government books as the daughter
of hemelf and her new husband. She
therefore claimed her. On tbo other
hand the Baroness demanded tbo obild
*s being her own, and as having been
alto registered ns hers. The magistrate
was puzzled, and refered tho case to tbo
Tribunal of tho Seine, in tho mean time
ordering that tbo child ebould remain in
tho oat tody of tho Countess.
Turn Cipher Tti.zaru.ua.—The Wash
ington correspondent of tho lialtimoro
Sun says the brother-in-law of the late
Senator Morton confirms tho statement
that the Dcruocratio cipher telegrams
wrre furnished to Senator Morton'a oom
milteo by tho authorities of the Western
Union Telegraph Company. Mr. Hol
loway says tho dispatches of this charac
ter and other dispatches handed over
to Senator Morton filled two large dry
goods boxer. Senator Morton had very
carofnlly read over all tho cipher tele
grams, nud avowed to his friends his
purpose to have thorn translated and
published. When in the spring of 1877
bo left Washington, the cipher dispatches
wore collected together and put by them
selves in his committeo room, and it is
now cettsiu that from this committee
room they through some agency not yet
disclosed found thoir,way into the pos
session of tho New York Tribune.
It is Intimated that Senator Allison,
the chairman of tho Stanley Matthews
committee, will call that committee to
gether bo fora tho mooting of Congress;
that tho cipher telegrams will bo handed
over to tho committee; that Anderson
will then consent to testify, and that
other witnesses will bo forthcoming. It
is noted by the Harrisburg speech of
Secretary Sherman last night that he has
at last summoned up Buffioient courage
to deny the authorship of the Weber-
Andcrson letter, and to pronounoe it a
forgery. Mr. Sherman also followed the
lead of Secretary Evarts in the New York
speech of tbo latter in “hurling hack”
the cry of fraud. It is learned that a
plan is in rapid process of preparation
by the Republican managers, setting
forth various points in connection with
tho electoral count upon which investi
gation will he demanded.
A Fatal Day.—Tuesday was f&Ul to
the carpet-bag representation in the Uni
ted States Senate. Conover, in Florida,
und Patterson, in Sonth Carolina, were
doomed. Spencer, in Alabama, received
sentc-uce at the election last August. The
lAst one of the carpst-bag tribo of adven
turers who engineered themselves into the
Senate by corrupting negro suffrage will
disappear with the advent of the 4th of
March next. No man not os corrupt as
themselves will moern their final disap
pearance from the stage of action.
Tlio Macon and Brunswick
JCailroad.
We have a pamphlet copy of the re.
port of tho Coaimis-ioners and Superin
tendent of the Macon A Brunswick Rail
road from December 1st, 1876, to 0< u.-
ber 1st, 1878. The total earnings of the
rood between those dates was 5631,911.73
end total expedites $554,352.47—showing
a balance to profit of $77,659.32.
Thcso expenses, however, embrace
$27,233.20 spent in improvements and
equipments, and $9.802.E4 paid on judg
ments and court and attorney feee—mak
ing $37,035.75 not properly chargeable
to current expenses, and tcdacicg the
running cost ot the road for twenty-two
months to $517,316.73, and increas
ing the net revenue to $114,595.06. Of
these earning! sixty-five thousand dollars
have been paid into the State treasury.
Of the future disposition of the rood:
the Commissioners say:
Tho removal of all chances for com
petition among other railroad compan
ies for its purchase, by the provisions of
the New Constitution, and tbo financial
stringency of tbo times—to say nothing
of the low valuation now attached, to rail
road property—makes it improbable that
Itc-in bo hold for us v.iiiu-. lit-pco lira
Commissioners cannot now resommend
Its sale. It is not, however, belioved to
be to tbo best interest of tbo State to
oontinno to operate tha road; for it is
highly probable that, under the provi
sions ot a wise law, it can bo leased for a
term of years, to be retarnod in the
same good oondition as now, for more
money .than will be made if operated by
the State ; and at the same time avoid
the future possibility of snch nnfortn-
nsto results os in former years attended
the operating of tho Western and Atlan
tia Railroad by tho Slate.
If it is to be leased, an act should be
pasacd prescribing the terms and condi
tions, and tho amount of bond and char
acter of seennty required to secare the
paymont of tbe rental and the return of
the road and its proporty in as good con
dition as when received. The act should
alio provide fora fall and complcto in
ventory and description cf tho road and
ita appurtenances, and for tho preserva
tion and record of tbo same, and for
whatever else may be necessary for tho
protection of the State, and to enable
the lessees to operate the road success
fully and to tho best advantage. The
act should also fix a minimum below
which no lease can be made.
Should it be decided neither to sell nor
lease, bntto continue to operatoiho road,
it is recommended that an act bo passed
appropriating an amonnt of money suffi
cient for tho purchase of engines and
cars, instead of renting as is now done,
and for the purchase of additional ma
chinery; &I90 for tho building of ehopt,
depots and wharfs. If thought beet not
to make tho appropriation, tho Legisla
ture should, by joint resolution, direct
that all of the net earnings of tbe road be
□sed till those ends are accomplished. In
this connection, special attention is called
to tho remarks of the General Superin
tendent on these subjects. _
About tbe House.
The reader will see from tho scattered
and lnoonolnslvo character of the returns,
that any certain statement of (he result
npon tbe 4Gth Congress is still impossi
ble. Bat wo think the result will sum np
about as follows: So far the Democrats
have gained eighteen members, and we
judge they havoloat eleven—still leaving a
net gain on the Democratio majority of
tbo 45th Oongrese of reren. In the pres
ent Hoobs tho majority is eighteen, and
that would give them twenty-five mejorl*
ty in the next House, made np in part,
however, of men elected ns Greenbackers
and Nationals, bnt with Democratio sym
pathies. Tbo next Congress will bo de,
eidedly Democratio in both branobos.
Florida.—Wo rejoioa to soe that tho
Ovtmocral* havo made a clean sweep in
Florida, oleoting both Representatives to
Oongrese, whioh is n gain of one, and se
curing a majority in both Honsos of the
General Assembly, whicti will give the
oonntry a Democratio Senator in placo of
Simon B. Conover.
Dr. Talhaoe’s familiarity with tho
dark placeB ot earth is not more remark
able than his apparently thorough ac
quaintance with Perdition and all the
avenues leading to it. He is the Stanley
of the great dark continent of woe and
shame.
South Carolina reports a clean Demo
cratio triumph, with somo little donbt ns
to the First distriot; bnt it was believed
Rtohardson would bo eleoted. If so there
is a Democratio gain of throe members
of Congress In that Stato.

UAHBLERH TRAPPED.
Seven Chicago Sports in a Peri
lous Situation.
Special to tba Cincinnati Enquirer.J
Chicago, Nov.|3.—Among tho desperate
devices resorted to by faro-bank proprie
tors to evada the vigorous raids of tho
police, a Jfavorito ono is to lock up tho
inmates in fire-proof vaults, which are
supplied with ventilating holes for this
purpose. This morning at 1 o’clock
George Hankins* den was raided, and
seventeen players were bundled into the
vault, the door locked, and the police
admitted, Hankins and a negro servant
remaining outside. Instead of going
away, os usual, on finding tbe room
deserted, the officers, who were np to the
dodge, sat down and ^waited. Noticing
the ventilating holes, they staffed paper
into them and again sat down and wait
ed.
In about an boor the air in the vanlt
had become so vitiated that the prisoners
became desperate, and from the inside
came faint cries of "Let ns ont; wo are
nearly dead l” Even then the proprietor
refused for a time to liberate them, and
when he did the seventeen inmates rush
ed ont m a state bordering on suffoca
tion. One old man wob nearly dead, and
all were terribly exhausted. They were

Wz faded to receive the Sivannah
Hates and Atlanta Constitution, of Tuea-
,Uy. What teems to be the matter with
yon. gentlemen ? Has the election
excitement thrown yon off yonr usu
ally well balanced pina?
Colonel Gazoo Weight, of tbe
ChrouieU and Constitutionalist, nnder
dato of the 4tb, writes as follows from
Atlanta, where ho is stopping st piescnt
as a member of tbe Uonso from Rich
mond county:
Length or the Session.—As this Is
the first Legislature elected under the
Dew constitution members are charged
with tbe important duty of putting in
practical operation the machinery ot tbe
organic law. It is generally conceded
that the session will necessarily last lon
ger than forty days. How mnoh longer
is a matter of speculation. Some think
the work oau bo done in sixty days.
Ifthoro be a judicious use of time I see
no reason why a final adjournment can
not bo reached in two moutbs. It is also
donbtfnl whether there will be one long
or two short sessions. There is • strong
ft, ling in favor of a programme winch
includes tbe election of a United States
Senator and the Judges of the Saperlor
Coart, the passage of tbo tax and appro
priation bills and an adjournment nntil
next July. Bnt there are many who are
determined to have s continuous session
until all tbe work bo done, and the issne
Is uncertain with the chances favoring the
adoption of the latter scheme.
The Elections.—The absence of can
didates for threo of tho high positions
that are within the gift of the Legisla
ture is a little remarkable when one con
siders the customary keenness of the
contests for all offices of honor or profit.
As I have said, Messrs. Bacon and Les
ter havo not any opposition. It is ex
ceedingly improbable that any ono will
entor tbo lists against General Gordon
for tho splendid prixo of tho Senatorship.
There aro many who would like to do
so, bnt the impossibility of success pre
vents them from lifting tho challenger’s
glove, l-'rom the time that the present
Legislature was chosen, nearly a year
ago, the re-election of General Gor
don wsb a forgone conclusion.—
It is probable that he is stronger now
than then. The warfare made upon
him by the Independents because he
has had the courage to do battle for the
party which they are attempting to dis
rupt and destroy, has mado many men
his zealouB supporters who might other
wise have voted against him if he had on
antagonist. Bat there is no dearth of
candidates for tbe JndgeBhip3 that are to
be filled by eleotion. There are five oan-
didates In one circuit and not less than
two in any—unless in the Rome sud
Sant horn. Many have already secured
headquarters at the hotels and probably
all bnt one or two will soon be on the
ground looking after their interests. The
first question tor the Legislature to de
termine is what plaoes on the Bench be
eomo vacant under Iho new Constitution ;
the ne xt when they are to be filled. There
is some doubt, for instance, whether the
Atlanta Cirouit is not one for which a
Judge must to be ohoaen snd whether
Judge Grice, of the Macon Cironit, or
Jadge Wright, of the Albany Circuit,
shall ran the gauntlet of tho General As
sembly. I think the disposition of tbe
Legislature is to settle both questions as
speedily as possible, for His very evident
that nothing else can be done until the
offices are distributed.
The Finances.—The report of the
Comptroller-General will show that tbo
value of the taxable property of the Stato
has decreased abont twenty millions of
dollars since the passage of tbe last tax
sot, two years ago. The revenues of the
government mast have consequently fallen
off in ronnd numbers ono hundred thous
and dollars. Before the Legislature of
18S0 assembles more than three hundred
thousand dollars of the pnhlio debt mast
be met. Tbe problem ot raising addition
at lands without increasing the rate of
taxation will have to be solved. It will
doabtloes bo solved In tho usual way—by
aloaD.
The gin house bon-fires still continue
in Georgia. Tho latest Bnfferers are Mr.
Howell Rose, of Baldwin county, and Mr.
William Montgomery, of Floyd county.
Mr. Bobo’s loss is between $1,500 and
$2,000. Mr. Montgomery lost six bales
of cotton.
Tee Romo Courier says the "air is la

the near future.”

We find the following in tho Talbotton
Register:
Outtinq Affray.—A serious scrape
occurred last week on the plantation of
Mrs. A. Couch, near Talbotton, in which
Jim Folk Couch and Frank Hartless, both
colored, were tho participants. Jim Folk
was ent in eight placer, the severest in
cision being on one side of tho neck, the
weapon used being a razor. It appears
that a colored hello was the canBO of tho
disturbance.
The case being up for commitment
trial, counsel for defendant waived exam
ination until next week, when it was
thought tho other party to tho difficulty,
Jim, would be able to appear in conrt.
The State Fair.—Tho State Fair which
has just closed a most successfal exposi
tion at Mason, was in every respect on
unprecedented sneoeas. All departments
were c rowded with exhibits, no fewer than
seventeen hundred entries having been
made. Tbe crowd in the oily on Thurs
day was estimated at twenty-fire thousand,
while the average attendance daring the
entire week was well np into tbe thous
ands.
The special features of tho Fair were
Dr. Carver’s wonderful shooting and tho
military oontests. Tho live stocK depart
ment was the largest ever seen in Georgia,
Superintendent M. J. Hatcher having
been forced to provide additional stalls
for tbo accommodation of exhibits from
the North and West. Tho racing was
lively and drew immenso crowds daily to
witness the fastest horse flesh in tbe State.
Racing is qnite an interesting featnre of
all agrionUnral fairs, and never was the
Central Fark track more handsomely
graced than on the reoent ocoesion.
In all the departments the exhibits
were aimply immense, those of the mer
chants of Maoon being especially attrac
tive.
The noble President of the State Agri-
onltnral Soeiety, Thomas Hardeman; tbe
indomitable Secretary,Halcomb Johnston;
the efficient Superintendent, M. J.

I mittee, have made the reoent fair the

tirely unprovoked attack. Mr. Batl r
was in a very critical situation late last
evening.
We reproduce, with onr hearty en
dorsement, the following from the Co-
lombns Timer.
Wo are sorry to see that somo South
ern papera appear to be trying to work
up a war feeling in this country against
Great Britain on account of tbe new
fisheries question. We don't know how
many disputes we have had with the
British authorities on account of ques
tions of this character—certainly a num
ber of them, and all of them, as we hon
estly believe, growing out of the aggres
sive and encroaching spirit of the New
England fishermen and the readiness
with which the Government at Washing
ton esponsos their cause. Tho man is
bnt poorly informed in the political his
tory of this country, who does not know
that tha New England people, and those
of Massachusetts especially, will crowd
themselves in wherever they can make
money, regardless of the rights of others,
so long as they can count on the support
of a Government that taxes other sec
tions for their protection and aggrandize
ment.
One Georgia paper has evidently taken
np the idea that what is oalied the “fish
eries award,” now about doe, is tbe asm
of money which nnr Government has
agreed to pay Grest.Britain for tbe priv
ileges now denied to us, privileges, in the
proseontion of whioh the fishermen of
Massachusetts were driven off by a New
foundland mob. This is a mistake hard
ly excusable in a journal whioh claims to
be "the leading paper in the Sonth.”
The.flBheries award, amounting to abont
five and a half million dollars, which all
tho peoplo of tho United States have to
assist in paying, is for depredations
whioh the New England fishermen com
mitted previous to this year in the waters
of the.British possessions. It has no
oonneclion whatevor with the troubles of
this year, whioli arcso fiom Massachu
setts fishermen violating the looal regula
tions governing tbe fisheries on the New
foundland oosst. For this they were
driven off, whether by a mob of citizens
or by the looal authorities we cannot oer-
tainly say, and for this they claim dam
ages. In tbo one case, Great Britain
has an award of damages for depredations
committed by New England fishermen.
In the other onse, Massachusetts fisher
men claim damages for being driven off
from fishing grounds from whioh the lo
cal laws exoladed thorn, claiming that the
general privileges secured for them by
a treaty with Great Britain are not sub
ject to the limitations of local laws.
As to this last named claim, we have
only to repeat that, in our opinion, it
would bo a very strange policy for a great
government to pursue, to grant to the
citizena of a foreign power greater rights
and privileges within its territory than
its own subjects possessed or exercised.
Suppose that onr government at Wash
ington -was asked \o grant to British sub
jects greater privileges in the waters of
Capo Cod than tho people of Massachu
setts allow themselves. What woold onr
Federal government say to that? And
what would Massachusetts say to it if the
government of the United States was to
make a treaty to that effect?
We want to ba better convinced that
this is a question affecting the rights, in
terests or honor of the people of tho
United States, and not simply tho grasp
ing impudence of Massachnsstts fisher
men, beforo wo suffer ourselves to become
excited about it; and wo advise our breth
ren of the Southern press to keep equally
cool.

In 1870 a man dressod in the uniform
of a polioe officer went Into tho Konsing-

rob yonr bank to-nigut. I wont yon to
have your natohmeu hero and I will have
my men to assist. Do not say a word,
and by to-morrow tho game will be
bagged.” Tbo cashier extended hia hand
and thanked tho ofilser and left all in his
charge. Tho night came, and tho Lien-
tenant and hia men were admitted Into
the bank.. Thero was a parley, and threo
of tho officers and ono watohman of tha

gotawaytoEoroye with $600,000 of ne
gotiable paper. Worth is living the life
of a prince over tho water still. Marsh
came hick, cracked another bank, was
"pinched” by the Pinkerton agency, and
is now serving out seventeen years in the
Philadelphia penitentiary. Bnliard went
to Paris with bis portion of the “swag,
and opened a grand bouffet at No 2 Rue
Scribe, said to have been simply magnifi
cent. He remained in the city daring
tho siege, and might have been there
yet had not a Chicago detective who hap
pened to go over thero “got on to him.
The Paris police were notified of his char
acter, and in a short time they deteted
him in a piece of crcokcd work, for which
ho fled the plaoe. He came back to Amer
ica, was arrested, and abont ten days ago
escaped from the Charlestown, Massachu
setts, prison. Cochran alone tried to be
straight. He went to Canada, bought a
farm, and in about six months, tbe tarn
being called upon him by the "Hidden
Hand,” ho passed in his checks.
THE BENEFICIAL SAVINGS FUND, OF PHILA
DELPHIA J
was robbed of $1,600,000 a few years ago
by “holding np” the Cashier, who gave
the combination. Every dollar of the
amount was recovered by negotiation,
and the cracksman retired on a compe
tency.
THE KOBTHCHBIELAND VAULTS
gave up their treasures on account of a
visit which masked men made to the
cashier's residence, where he kindly
handed over tbe combination, and wont
to the bank with them, because he
couldn’t help himself.
THE FIRST NATIONAL BANK CF WILMINGTON,
DEL.,
was entered, and tbe attempt to rob it
was precisely the same as that worked on
the Manhattan last Sunday morning.
Tbe cracksmen want into the Jsnitor’e
room and gagged him and his family. An
old nigger woman crawled anderthe bed,
bnt forgot to poll her heels in after her.
Oae of the men dragged her ont. A doer
chanced to be left open, and through it
•he sped like a greased arrow. She was
chased almost to the Police Station, and
her flight saved the institotioD.
Breach ot Faith with the Indiana
General Pope was interviewed the other
day in St. Lonis on the sabjeat of the
flight ot tbe Cheyennes, and, in reply to
a question as to the cause of the Doable,
he said:
•The failure of tho Government to
keep its promise with them. I can no),
of coarse, attempt to placo tho respon-
ribiiity, but when tha Government puts
a tribe of Indians where tney can not
subsist by hunting, it should keep its
promises to provide them with snppiieB
and the necessaries of life. I received
the report of the Indian agent two or
three days ago, and forwarded it to
Washington. I had no right to require
it of him, but I sent and no gave it to
me. The agent, Mr. Miles, coincides In
tho statement that tbe Dromises of the
Government have not been kept. Ho
conldn’t give the supplies to the Iodises,
because bo didn’t have them. He say-B
that supplies of provisions of various
kinds, to a very large amount, were not
even advertised for. Who is responsible
I can’t say, but I know that the Indians
have Buffered more privations and hard
ships, and endured them mors patiently
and with less grumbling, than tbo same
number of white men.
"Ihave written to Washinglon fifty
times in the past two years, stating these
facts. Liko the same number of white
men would do, when they found the Gov
ernment was not keeping its promises in
issuing them supplies on which to main
tain existence, and that they could net
subsist by hunting, they resolved to go
back to their old ground) in the North. I
have been on the plains twenty-five years,
and I have never , known an outbreak to
occur among the Indians which was not
caused by bad faith on the patt of the
Government, a want of the moral sense
of obligation—a failure to carry out its
agreements. In this last outbreak no
outrages or maulers were committed by
the Cheyennes until after they woro at
tacked. m
•‘I am told, though I have not got it
officially, that when the troops caught np
with tho Cheyennes tho oommandmg offi
cer roda into the oamp, and, oalling Dali
Knife to one aide, he said: ‘I don’t want
to attack yon; I don’t waut to engage in
a battle in whioh some of my men will
neoesaarily be killed, but yon rnnat go
back to yonr reservation, and it would be
better all around for yon to como without
resielanoe.’ Doll Knife replied: ‘Nor do
we want to fight you; we went on tho
reservation becanso tho Government
promised to famish us with supplies and
provision?. We have waited patiently
and long. Tho Government has not com
plied with its promises. We cannot
starve. Before we return to the resem
tion we will die in onr tracks.'”

Senator David Davis is quoted as say-
ing that "hi3 Presidential expectations
ended in’1872.” But this declaration,
wo apprehend, should ho received with
caution. Thero is a good deal too mnch
of the Senator for one President, and it
is probably tho wrong half that declines

This Is the apple year, for with few ex.
captions tba apple orchards of New Eng
land only bear abundantly every other
year. A good quality of apples may be
bought for $1per barrel, and ordinary va
rieties bring bnt I2J cents per bushel at
the older mill. A bnshel of apples yields
fonr gallons, of cider, tbe coat of whioh
to the maker does not exoeed five cents
per gallon. ;la other parts of tbe State
apples are cheaper than they are hero.

like playthings. And yon wouldn’t think,
to read tbe article, that that man wears

Extravagant Purchase.
Lucy Hooper m the Baltimore Gazette!
I have recently heard of two very ex
travagant purchases that were made by
American ladies in Paris this season. Ono
article was the costliest braid or “awitoh”
of hair that ever was made in Paris. It
was composed of hair a yard and a quarter
in length, snow white and exceedingly
soft and gbesy. Its piicc was $500. An
other was a fan that was recently gotten
up by one of tbe leading fan-makers of
Paris for the wife of a New York million-
iare. The leaf was painted by Edward
de Beaumont, a Parisan artist of high re-
pate, and cost $SOO. Tho mounting was
in ivory, riohly carved from special de
signs, and with the owner’s monogram in
diamonds set on a medallion-shaped
space on one of the outer sticks. The
ends of the rivet that held the sticks to
gether were also of diamonds. The prioo
of the entire fan, when completed,
amounted to $1,400. The subject of 1L
de Beanmont’a painting was the beach at
Dieppe daring the last oenlnry, an ani
mated and Watteau-Ilka scene, crowded
with figures and too delioate and fine a
work of art to be oarried a3 a fan, one
wound think. Bnt tho Baroness de
Rothsohild possesses a fan painted by
Lonis Lenoir, whereof the painting alone
cost $2;000.
“Give us a rest,” cried a bootblack
from tho gallery of onr Opera House, to
a party in the audience who had been
coughing daring tho greater part of the
performance. ‘‘Use Dr. Bull’s Cough
Syrup,” shouted another urchin.—Ercb.

Tom Ncott Off l’or Europe.
Philadelphia 8pecial to Cincinnati Enquirer.
An attempt was made to get up a sen
sation over the unexpected departure of
Col. Scott for Europe, Sunday, bnt the
facts are very simple. Col. Scott has
been in poor health for some time, and
has been at the office only for a few
hour?, and not every day. His physi
cians have advised him to take a rest,
bnt until lately he has not been willing
to do so. Last Friday the board voted
bim a Dave of absence, bat even then be
did not know if he would take it. Sev
eral of - them" urged upon him the neces
sity of letting business go for a time, and
he at last yielded, and sailed on the
Switzerland for Antwerp, Sunday.
He will be gone for a long vacation,
perhaps six months. The place will bo
filled by the first vice-president, George
B. Roberts, who has only jnst returned
from a four moDtbB’ tour in Europe.

Yes, son, yes, yes; go out west and

Do not be discouraged if the work is a lit

eat up all your first planting, bat they
ill aevonr it so early in the season that
you can plant a second time. They won’t
eat that pirating until ju3t about three
days before harvest. Tnen you will have
nothing to do all fall and winter and yon
can put in yonr fall time starving. The
next year a crop will be destroyed by
.constant rains and floods. The third
year a dreugth will burn up everything
that has a root or a leaf within ten miles
of yonr farm. The fourth year, however,
everything will go well. Yon will raise
a booming crop gat it all in and safely
