Persons leaving the city for the summer can have the Morning News forwarded by the earliest fast mails to any address at the rate of 25c. a week, $1 for a month or $2 50 for three months, cash invariably in ad vance. The address may lie changed as often as desired. In directing a change care should lie taken to mention the old as well as the new address. Those who desire to have their home paper promptly delivered to them while a way should leave their subscriptions at the Busi ness Office. Special attention will lie given to make this summer service satisfactory and to forward papers by the most direct and quickest routes. The Dulutli/’ornpra/diersays; “Customs officers are noted for attending to duty.” Yes, somebody else’s duty. The bass drum of the Salvation Army in Savannah lias a liolo in it. The resultant silence Is too evident to be alluded to lightly. The New York Mail and Express says: “Connecticut Is a tight little State.” If this be true she needs stringent Prohibition laws. The New York Tribune wants to fight the war over. Nobody will object, provided the Tribune will go out of sight and hear ing to do it. The statement is going the rounds that “the newspapers made Sam Jones, and now he abuses them.” Perhaps he thiuks the newspajiers ought to have made him better. The Prohibition contest in Home, Ga., has become very bitter. Prominent Prohibi tionists and anti-Prohibitionists are calling each other “fellows” and “vile hypocrites.” If train robliers are to be allowed to steal from passengers in summer when they please, people will prefer to travel in the winter, notwithstanding the menace of the deadly ;ar stove. The Queen's jubilee has serve. 1 to show bow the English have spread all over the world, and what great things they have ne tnplished wherever they have set up their ndatxl. The statement is made that the people of this country spend $22,000,000 a year on patent medicines, and "hat the number of these nostrums is more than 5,000. It is not difficult, now, to understand why there is TO much sickness in the country. Mr. J. Reid Howatt has published a col lection of sermons to young jieoplo in wliich he coins the word Chui Jiette, meaning a church for the young. The man who com mits such a crime against the language DUght not to bo permitted to preach. The weather was so hot at Petersburg, Va., on Monday that the iron rails on the Petersburg and Weldon railroad, between Pleasant Hill and Belfield, were warped. This will do as a set oil - to the spontaneous combustion of a plank sidewalk in Bruns wick. One of Dr. MoG-lynn's supporters writes a letter to the New York Star abusing that journal with the foulest profanity. If this particular suppoi-ter is a sample of the rest, the money collected by the Anti-Poverty Society should be used to hire missionaries to preach to them. The legislature of Ohio recently passed a law declaring that “the husband is the head of the family.” Evidently, by an oversight sf som# clerk, a word was left out. It was intended, no doubt, that the law should de clare that “the huslwnd is sometimes the aead of the family.” It is practically admitted that, if the At lanta anti-Prohibitionists succeed in having another election hold under the local option law they will be overwhelmingly defeated. In spite of the protestations to the contrary, Atlanta has found prohibition to lie a good thing, and she is not likely to allow the sa oons to ho reopened. At a recent wedding in Buffalo, N. Y., the bride received among her gifts eight parlor lamps. About the same time at a wedding in Adrian, Mich., the bride re ceived eight pickle dishes. The two cases suggest that before making presents to brides it would be well to find out what others arc going to give. On Monday last Amesbury, Mass., was the scene of an all-day riot. An attempt was made to on force the liquor law, and to prevent the bringing of liquor from a neighboring town. The Mayor was called out of Ix-d at midnight to read the riot act. What is the matter with Massachusetts! She will have to discipline Atnesbury or submit to un injury to her reputation for sobriety and good order. Mrs. Sarah McGlynn, mother of Dr. Mc- Glynn, directed In her will that SSOO. should be iiid to the “Little Bisters of the Poor” in New York. Dr. MoGlynn is the cx<jcu tor. Mi-s. Mctilynn died in 1870, but the s.’joo has never been paid. Just now inqui ries are being made into the matter, and it looks as if Dr. Mctilynn will lie presented In an unpleasant light. He refuses to say —MMJskv W- 0 -**WdUaVi'Ttt im .been paid. The Continued Abuse of the President. The continued attacks upon the President by the Republican journals on account of his approval of the order to return the battle flags doubtless have two purposes. One is to influence the soldier vote against the Democratic party and the other is to scare Congress into passing another depend ent pension hill, and, if it should be vetoed, to pass it over the veto. A pension bill similar to the one that the President vetoed last winter has tieen pre pared and is now living submitted to all the Grand Army Posts in tlie country. This hill gives a pension to the parents of a soldier who died in the service, who have no other means of support than their own manual labor. It gives to all ex-soldiers who served for three months in the war, and who are now suffering or who may hereafter suffer from any mental or physical trouble, not the result of their own vicious habits, and which incapacitates them for the perform ance of manual labor, a pension of sl2 |ht month, and it gives to the widow and children of any pensioner who is dead, or who may hereafter die, the pension which such pensioner received. This bill will lie presented to the present Congress and will be vigorously pushed in that. body. It is estimated that if it passes it will add half a million names to the iiension roll. That it will increase pauperism to an alarming extent there is no reason to doubt; that it will enrich pension claim agents is beyond question, and that it will impose an enormous and uncalled-for burden upon the people is evident, if this hill becomes a law the army of pensioners of this country will l>e four times as great as the standing army of Great Britain, almost twice as large as the standing army of Ger many and about one-third larger than the standing army of France. The cost of maintaining this army of pensioners will lie $21,000,000 more a year than ihat of main taining the most costly standing army of Europe. Will Congress have the courage to resist the effort to impose such a burden upon the country—a burden that will have to lie lxnne not for one or two years, but, in all probability, for half a century! It is the purpose of the pension claim agents, with the aid of the Grand Army of the Republic, to sis-tire the passage of this hill if they can. The affair of the battle flags is being used to solidify the soldier vote against the Dem ocratic party because that party stands in the way of this enormous pension scheme, aud doubtless of other schemes for squandering the public money. The Republican party shows no readiness to as sist in reducing the revenue for the reason, perhaps, that it hopes to return to power and has schemes for using all the revenue of which it can get control. The Transportation of Melons. Georgia melons are now being shipped in large numbers to Northern and Western cities, where they are very highly appre ciated on account of their fine flavor. There was a tiuit when the New Jersery melon was preferred to those from any other locality, hut such is not the ease now. The Jersey melon growers for several years have been striving for size rather 'than quality, and the consequence is that while their melons present a very attractive appear anee, they are not so much sought after as they once were. The Georgia melon growers have the melon business in their own hands, and will retain control of it if they pay the proper attention to it. There is one thing to which they should give more eare. It is the shipping of their melons. It is im portant that the melons should be of good size—not less than fifteen pounds in weight —and that they should arrive at their destination in good condition. Many a farmer believes he has been swindled when the truth may be that careless packing has rendered his melons unmarketable. When shipissl by steamer to New York or Philadelphia the melons frequently show •signs of having been carelessly handled. There are some missing and not a few at e bruised and broken. Of course where the melons are handled several times before they roach their destination it is to be ex l>ected that there will bo some loss. A firm of .commission merchants of Phila delphia, in a letter to the Capitol at Atlan ta, says that not enough care is taken in packing the melons for transportation. When transported by rail they are pretty certain to become badly damaged unless they are prevented from coming in contact with the hbttom, sides and ends of the cars by a thick cushion of straw. The fact that melons require ventilation does not seem to lie given as much attention either on steamers or cars ns it is entitled to. If the fresh air is shut out the melons are certain to sustain injury, and it is not always Ixwt to furnish ventilation from the forward end of the ear, because ventilating windows in that locality admit dust and cinders, which have a bad effect upon the appearance of the melons. Of course the same care is not required in packing melons on steamers ns in ears, and yet they ought to lie packed tightly enough t'* prevent any motion among them when the ship rolls. It is apparent that tight packing is necessary in cars because if laid loosely the jolting will bruise and break them, and they should be packed lengthwise with the car. Growers who are careful to pick their melons when in the proper condition, and to see that they are packed with care, re ceive much better returns than those who are careless about these matters. Cardinal Persico. The former Bishop of Savannah, Ga., lit. Rev. Ignatius Persico, is said by our cable dispatches to lmve lioen nominated in petto Cardinal of the Holy Roman Church. He is a Neapolitan by birth, though his mother was an English lady. He belonged to the Franciscan order of Capuchins, and was elevated to the episcopacy by Pius IX. and sent to Agra, iu India. There he labored for many years, but, having suffered from sunstroke and the usual trials of the climate, he was forced to resign, and came as a simple missionary to help Bishop Lynch, of Charleston, S. C. On the transfer of Bishop Verot. of Savannah, to the newly erected “See” of St. Augustine, Fla., Bishop Persico, in 18811, was made Bishop of Savan nah and reclaim'd bore until the advent of Bishop Gross. Afterward ho went to Cana da, and having recovered his health, re turned to Rome and was appointed to Aquimnn as Bishop. Some months ago Bishop Persico was mode Archbishop of Damietta, and now, probably as a prelimi nary step to the Cardinalnte, lie has been sent as Nuuttus Apostolicus to direct the tangled ecclesiastical matters in Ireland. A New York physician wants $20,000 damages from a patient who called him u butcher. The physician's sensitiveness is worthy of note. THE MORNING NEWS: THURSDAY, JUNE 23, 1887. The South of To-Day. • A corresjiondeiit writes an interesting let ter to the New York Knowing Tost con cerning the South as it is to-day. He says nothing of the booming towns, the iron and coal interests, the cotton, grain, and other crops, for they, he thinks, speak for them selves. He deals fairly and intelligently, however, with the social nnd iiolitical con dition of the people, a thing not often done by correspondents of the Northern press. Prior to the election of President Cleve land there existed in the South a gloom of uncertainty and distrust, caused by tbp per sistent misrepresentations of jiolitieal agi tators. There were in the South, too, num hers of “unreconstructed," ready at all times to discuss old and dead issues. The wrongs of the reconstruction era were, fresh in the minds of the people, and the carpet-bag in fluence was a constant menace to friendly relations, causing suspicion and preventing equitable adjustment. The correspondent finds all’ this changed. The social and po litical sentiments of the people are different from what they were, ns is evidenced by the orderly and friendly relation between whites and negroes. It is also evidenced, the Correspondent thinks, “in tlie absence of race rivalry, which has harmonized into healthy emulation, in the unmistakable de sire on the part of the lower rare to attain a higher level of enlightenment through the schools nnd through the example of the more highly favored whites, and in the manifest willingness of the whites to meet and encourage the aspirations of the ne groes with a generosity and earnest sympa thy which is as unprecedented as it is hon orable to the race.” The correspondent discovers that after the stormy period which prevailed in tlie Booth, there now exists a wholesome and reviving calm—“a calm produced by a con tented realization of restored confidence between the North and the South, between the races, and by trust in the administra tion of the government, by the people,under the guiding hand and broad patriotism of President Cleveland.” He declares that all classes eagerly drop the irritating and dam aging quarrels of politicians, for competi tion in the vital matters of self-culture and the development of the abundant resources of their country. The Seventy-first Pennsylvania regiment is credited upon the records of the War De partment with having captured three Con federate flags at Gettysburg from Pickett’s division. The Sixty-ninth, Seventy-first, Seventy-second, and One Hundred and Sixth Pennsylvania regiments -will have a fraternal meeting with Pickett’s division on July 2, !5 and 4. Upon that occasion the Seventy-first regiment wishes to return the captured flags, nnd inquiries have been made of the President as to whether or not the regiment lias the right to do so. These Pennsylvania veterans show the right kind of spirit, but if they are permitted to return the captured flags Gen. Fairchild and Gov. Foraker will lose what little sense they have left. The Washington Post says that the other day the State of Connecticut opened bids for a three and one-half per eent. million doliar loan, redeemable in ten years or earlier, at tlie option of the State. The bonds were allotted at an average of $lO2 01, which makes the interest a trifle less than three anil a half, and the aggregate 6f the bids was $700,(XX),000. The Post thinks the large bids indicate that capitalists are hoarding their money rather than investing it in new enterprises. The indication is not a healthy one. The country is 1 letter off when money is used to develop resources and commerce. Girton .College for women, an annex to Cambridge University, England, has just graduated a student who took a higher stand in classics than any of the male students of the university. She is Miss Agnnta Ram say, the daughter of Sir Janies Ramsay, a Scotch baronet. She is just 20 years old. Several of her male competitors were older, but she was the only one of either sex to pass the examination in the first division. Miss Ramsay’s triumph will lie applauded by those in this country who are interested in the higher education of women. Senator Brown and .Representatives Blount, Crisp, and Stewart have been in Washington trying to induce the President to appoint Hon. N. J. Hammond, of Atlanta, to the vacant position on the bench of the United States Supreme Court. They re ceived small encouragement. The Presi dent told them, however, that he had not fully made up his mind as to whom he will appoint. It is regarded os probable that no apjiointment will bo made until Con gress convenes. The Morning News mentioned a few days ago that Francis Patterson, better known as “Blind" Patterson, of New York, had received back pension money amount ing to $13,332, tlie largest sum ever paid to a single pensioner. It now transpires that Patterson was a fraud, and that the pension money was obtained upon fraudulent repre sentations. It would be interesting to know the amount of money that has lieon paid out by the government on fraudulent pension claims. Ex-Mayor David R. Francis, of St. Louis, says that the talk about President Cleve land’s appearing in that city will have no effect either in the attendance or the pro oi'edings there of the G. A. R. gathering. “The only man who has been hurt by all this talk of insulting the President,” con tinues the ex-Mayor, "is this man Tuttle." Most people were under the impression that Tuttle was too small to bo hurt by talk or anything else. The admiration of the Republican editors for Mrs. Cleveland almost reconciles them to a second term for Mr. Cleveland. The Philadelphia Press says that the “sincerity, tact and unaffected heartiness of Mrs. Cleveland in her intercourse with her former associates and teachers at Wells Collego cast new lights upon the worth and beauty of her character." Secretary Whitney proposes to bounce all the fossils in tho navy yards who show an inability to adapt themselves to the new or der of things. There arc seine of them who ought to have lieen bounced long ago. They have cauls'll tho government to spend sev eral millions of dollars for wliich no value has been received. Tho postmaster of Key West is in Wash ington trying to induce the government to fu uishtbe money to remove the unaech mated peinons from tho island. Unless the fever shows a greater tendency to spread, tlie unucrllinutod pirsoiLs would probably prefer to remain where they are. So far the college graduates in Georgia have disappointed the expectant public. Not one of them has had anything to say about the interstate commerce law. CURRENT COMMENT. Exasperating to Gen.

In a recent meeting of the Rains Academy of Sciences M. Hay cm. Professor in the Medical School, read a paper on the effects of blood transfusion in the head of recently decapitated animals, which showed that if before the head's blood supply is insitred by the establishment of a communication with the arterial system of a living dog or horse, the head's death is a very slow one. If transfusion is practiced some mo ments after the head has become entirely inert —that is, some minutes after decapitation * -the results are the following: Some muscles, espe cially in the lips, begin to twitch slightly: then the respiratory efforts set in: after that t lie eye recuperates its reflex sensibility, first in a feeble manner, and the reflnxisonly unilateral,then in a marked manner it becomes bilateral. But the eyelids remain drooping, the head lias a general appearance of drowsiness, and there is no ap pearance at all of any voluntary movement, .his apparent return to a state of unconscious life takes, of course, more time when the trans fusion is made at a late stage: when made six minutes after the cessation of all movements, it requires four minutes to bring the phenomena lack again. These experiments show once more that death by decapitation, although very rapid, is not sudden; consciousness persists during a short time, and sensation is not thoroughly impaired; thought must he possible. However short this period may be, it may be a long one to tho sufferer, and the number of ideas and sensations during those few seconds may be very considerable. Midsummer Madness. “Bring hither, bring hither my red bandbox; Bring hither my bandbox green, And my bandbox brown from London town And my box of silvern sheen. “And it's oh for my trunk of lpather tough And my trunk of oak-ribbed zinc; \ And my trunk so tough, of canvas stuff. That will bulge, but will not Shrink. “Oh. pile them high with the robes I wear, Till their lids they- overflow; My lord he will stare, and eke he will swear, But in they will have to go.” “Oh waly, waly, my ladye fair, Now whither and will ye flee?” “To Mount Saint Biishaliof-Worri-Ancair On Conyile—by-the-sea.” They have seizen her boxes one and all, In t he Tavern I,afit te de Kidd; And loudly for help the porters call, As they stack them up in entry and hall, And pile them high against bulkhead and wall. But wherever they stow them, great and small, Par out of her reach they are slid. Her room is a cell a fathom long, Her bed is a t h ing of fears; Where all night long the noiseless song Of the wingless bird she hears. And her lord he lies in a hallway lone, On a sleep destroying cot, Where she nears him groan in a wrathful tone— “lt’s “(Hush!)* ‘lt’s ‘(’sh! Hush!)’—‘Hot!’ ” And all this time in their home in town, A mansion of cool gray stone. There are peaceful glooms in seventeen rooms, Where the burglar sleeps alone. —Robert J. Burdette. Egg Lighter and Bushelwomen. From the Boston Post. Now and then I come across an advertisement in the newspapers which puzzles me and gives my imagination a fillip which it is not apt to get from the ordinary announcements that attract attention. The last experience which I had in this way is conveyed in the following line: “Egg Lighter -An experienced man wants a situation; can light as many eggs as any man living or has ever lived." There is something audacious in the claim of the advertiser, which, taken in connection with the mysterious character of his advertisement, impresses me with a high opinion of his ca pacity in his especial province. What an egg lighter is I do not know, and I should be sorry to make any deep inquisition into the mat ter, lest he should turn out to be entirely differ ent from my conceptions of him, and lower my wholly Imaginative estimate of his worth, iii such cast's it is well not to clip the wings of fancy. For the same reason I have always re solutely refused to investigate the meaning of the term bushel-woman, which I have often seen among the “wants” in the newspapers. There is something in the idea of a bushel as ap plied to a woman which is wonderfully sug gestive, and it seems to me that any al tempt to investigate the connection would bring it down to the level of the commonplace. As long as the standard dictionaries fight shy of such ex pressions as egg-lighters and bushelwomen, it would be presumptuous for any outsider to in vestigate their meaning. I please myself with thinking of egg lighting as something to do with tlic fabled phoenix, while my sympathies are aroused for the bushehvnman as a female who has four times as much worry as is con tained in the ordinary “peck of trouble.” Cleaning Out a Den of Wild. Dogs. From the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. In Buncombe county, N. C., a party of hunters discovered a den of wild dogs while hunting lust Saturday. A woman met the party and told a strange story, saying that a few days before she had been attacked in her house by wliat she thought must be wild dogs. At the time the doors were, closed, but the desperate animals made attempt after attempt to enter. She re ported that they were large, very lean and with the aspect of wolves, but more daring. The next day after their appearance at the house the dogs were again St ‘on by the woman, who wasoutside. She fled to the house for shelter, and reached it just in time. Since that occurrence she had Ik-pii virtually a prisoner in her own house. The hunters spent hours in searching for the dogs, and finally found them in a regular den ill a wild and nigged mountain. The hunters' dogs advanced, and all three were killed in a few min utes by the ferocious wild dogs. The place was difficult of access, hut Calvin Jones and Charles Harkins undertook to reach it, and climbed to the den with Winchester rifles in their hands. They never reached the den. The ferocious dogs came out of it. and the hunters had to fire rap idly to save their lives. They killed five of the dogs as the latter nished on them. Three dogs finally retreated to the cave. To-day the hunters returned and killed these. A Good Deal Can be Done in a Minute. From the Boston Post. There is nothing more difficult to measure, I learn, than the passage of time when one is in a hurry, although that is a condition in which I seldom find myself. 1 was with a friend in a horse car the other day on the way to take one of the harbor boats, with little tiine to spare, when the ear suddenly stopped, and both driver and conductor jumped off with exclamations of delight to take a nearer view of a lively pugi listic encounter whioh a couple of rough fellows that moment had improvised in one of the alleys off Atlantic avenue. My friend was in dignant at the desertion, and, with a threat of reportjng such a neglect of duty, pulled out his watch to note the time lost. The fight went vigorously on to its conclusion, the driver and conductor returned, and the ear rolled along. “How long was it?" I asked. “Forty-three seconds,” was the reply. Yel It seemed to me, sharing my friend’s anxiety to catch the boat, that ten minutes would have barely given time for the battle we had just seen fought from skirmish to vietorv, including the removal of the wounded from the field. on a Rrick.

The first auction ever held was in Great Britain, in 1700, when Elishur, a governor of Fort George, in the F,ast Indies, publicly sold the goods he had brought home to the highest bidder. Geoffrey Hudson, an F.nglish dwarf, was served up to table in a cold pie, before the King and Queen, by the Duchess of Buckingham in liras. Till- whole affair was, cf course, a joke, but Hudson felt sorely the indignity of his brief immurement beneath piecrust, A remarkable drinking contest took place in a saloon in Carson, Nev., recently; remarka ble because the liquid consumed was water. The wager was S2O, and the man who won it drank eleven large glasses of cold water and was none the worse for it. The other fellow drank nine glasses and became ill. A femai.e servant who had been in the habit of carrying out tea, sugar, coffee, etc., tied around her waist, under her clothing, from the house in which she was employed in New York, was called by her mistress just as she was going out the other night, and before the interview terminated the young woman Ix'gan to leave a trail of rice wherever she moved. A paper bag full of it had broken This led to her arrest, and over S2OO worth of stolen goods of various kinds were found in her room in another part of the city. Henry Clay, at the urgent request of Kos suth, granted him an interview at his room at the National Hotel on the afternoon of Jan. 0, 1853. Mr. Clay had dressed himself, and, per haps for the last time, stood erect to meet- the Magyar. He received the visitor with all his characteristic courtesy anil cordiality, but said: “Gov. Kossuth, a dying man stands before you to protest against your doctrine of interven tion." Kossuth replied in terms that affected Mr. Clay to tears, and both giving way to unre strained emotion, they parted—to meet not again. A writer in the Albany Journal gives cur rency to a desperately wicked story of the alleged manner in which Mrs. Cleveland encour aged her husband in disheartening attempts at trout fishing in Saranac lake. The story credits her with inducing the President to cast his tty near the shore where the bushes obscured the form of an expert trout fisherman who stood knee-deep in the water with a basket of big trout on his arm. The Presidential hook was east ala Antony off the coast of Alexandria, while Cleopatra gave the fisherman under the drooping bushes the signal to excite the Presi dent by toying with the deceptive fly and finally impaling a squirming trout . It is also intimated that “Dan” Lamont and Cronk, the President’s faithful guide, conspired with Mrs. Cleveland in filling Mr. Cleveland’s trout basket. Judge Douglas said one day that the first and last duel ever fought in Illinois was in 1820, at Belleville, between Alphonso Stewart and Wil liam Bennett. The i.econds had made it up to he a sham duel. Stewart, one of the parties, was supposed to be in the secret, but Bennett, his adversary, believed it to be a reality. It was supposed that Bennett somewhat suspected a trick, and after receiving his gun from his second, rolled a ball into it. At the word fire Stewart fell mortally wounded. Bennett was indicted, tried, and convicted of murder. A great effort was made to procure him a pardon, but Gov. Bond would yield to no entreaties, and Bennett suffered the extreme penalty of the law by hanging, in the presence of a great mul titude of people. Judge Douglas gave great credit to the prosecuting attorney in this case as having prevented duelling in Illinois by making it a crime. Garfield University, Wichita, Kan., is now approaching completion. The main building covers one and a quarter acres, and is five sto ries high. The chapel will seat 5,000 people. There will be a hail for male students and an other for female students. The rooms in these halls will be rent free, and hoard will be fur nished at actual cost. The grounds of the ram pus have been laid out by a competent land scape gardener, and will contain many varieties of trees and shrubs and a botanical garden. The university will teach all the branches usual ly taught in the great universities. It will have li well equipped astronomical observatory, and its college of medicine will be supplemented by a large hospital. Its commercial college is al ready in operation, having (100 students. The university is a mile and a half from the heart of Wichita, which now claims a population of 35,- 00(1 and is growing fast. There are nine or ten other institutions of learning in or near Wichi ta, and the friends are now laying the founda tions for the John Bright University, which will be the largest institution of that denomination in the United States. This sensation over the flags has naturally recalled the almost similar excitement which Senator Sumner evoked in 1872. On Dec. 2of that year he introduced a resolution in the Sen ate to which Gen. Drum referred in an inter view. This resolution directs that “the names of battles with fellow citizens shall not lie con tinued in the army register or placed on the regimental colors of the United States.” Sena tor Sumner was considerably ahead of the times, and the irreconcilability all over the country awoke up at once this proposition and there ivas intense excitement. On Dec, 18 a series of resolutions was adopted by the Massa chusetts Legislature declaring that such legis lation meets the unqualified condemnation of the people of this commonwealth. Gn Feb. 27, 1874, however, the Massachusetts Republicans managed to rise to the level of their great Sena tor and a resolution passed the Legislature rescinding and annulling the previous resolu tion condemning Mr. Sumner's proposition. On March 10, 1874, Mr. Boutwelt, then Mr. Sumner's colleague in the Senate, presented the second series of resolutions adopted by the Massachu setts Legislature to the Senate of the United States. The very next day, March 11, 1874, at 8:20 p. m., Mr. Sumner died. Thf. experiences of some of our notable crimi nals with their lawyers illustrates the rapacity of the legal professi in. Tweed paid enormous sums in fees to his various lawyers. Just after the jury on his first trial was impaneled and the trial was to begin one of his counsel, Edwin V. Stoughton, wrote him that he must have SIO,OOO as an additional fee or lie could not continue in the ease, and he added that he "would wait in the law library until Mr. Tweed sent him a cheek tor the fee." Talking of it long after, Tweed said with a grim smile, “If the old fool isn’t a liar he's waiting there still." Tweed was literally fleeced by lawyers and women, until, at the time of his recapture, he had not money enough to pay the lawyer, John D. Townsend, through whom he proposed to make his eon fession and turn Slate's evidence against every body whom he had ever bribed! lie gave Townsend a draft on Jay Gould for *5,000 as a fee, but Gould refused to pay it. About the same time one of Tweed’s mistresses was paying heavy fees to keep from publication the transfer of a large amount of Tweed’s property to her; but she would pay nothing for Tweed! Tweed actually gave an old love $135;00U to be off and out of the country with a fleeing compatriot of his, and the new love, finding this out, demanded and obtained an equal, if not a larger sum, from the old fellow. Townsend has recently liegun n suit on li is own behalf, which will probably lead to a revelation as to w here Tweed’s property went and how the transfers were suppressed in the Register’s office. Townsend’s suit has several other startling sensations in it, among others, the facts of a blackmailing scheme against three prominent brokers, which will startle this community as to some people’s methods of dealing in stocks and bringing of law suits. Tnntt.ow Weed told a good story in the cloak room of the Senate one day, about his crony, Dean Richmond, of Albany. Mr. Richmond had a son whose habits were not consonant w ith the railroad king’s ideas of prudence. He was sharp shrewd and witty, but was emphatically “one cf the boys.’ The paternal purse was long and his mtieuce stretched out to equal dlmensioi s but finally the young Richmond wore out the patience, and was told that he must go to work and earn ills own living. The old gentleman placed him on one of his railroad trains and when the youngster hod learned the duties of a conductor promoted him to that station. One rule of the road was that no one should be dead headed. Each passenger was compelled to pro tliHv hU ticK.*t, nay li•* far** or show a ptuui signed by the President, Dean Richmond!
