Special attention will lie given to make this siunmer service satisfactory and to forward papers by the most direct and quickest routes. Orations delivered on the Fourth of July are always “warm.” The orators, no doubt, are influenosi by tho weather. Gen. B. F. Butler denies that he stole a bell and sold it to a church. He says t hat he “captured" tho Ik-11, and that he had noth ing to do with the sale. The Prohibition contest in Tennessee has not yet resulted in the death of anyliody. Tliis, it is believed, is due to the temperate tone of the press in discussing the question at issue. Congressman Norwood has nominated Austin It. Davis ns the cadet in the Naval Academy from the First Congressional dis trict of Georgia. Tho Examining Board rated him at 85.8, in a passible 100. Mrs. Julia Kean Fish, wife of ex-Secre tary of State Hamilton Fish, died in New York on Thursday last after a long Illness. She was a leader in society and famous for her charities und interest in church affairs. A New York speculator in London made $O,OOO selling reserved seats to people who wanted to see tho procession on the Queen's jubilee day. Trust to a New Yorker to make money, it doesn’t matter where lie is. Sir. Blaine has been to Buckingham Palace, where he was introduced to the Queen. The Irish question was not dis cussed, but it is said that Mr. Blaine made a few touchingly, lender allusions to "the down-trodden negro.” Jay Gould’s younger son, “Eddie,” gradu ated from college ten <lnys ago, and in less than a week made $lOO,OOO on Wall street. His operations are the talk of New York, and it is said that he is “cutting a big swath.” “Eddie” is evidently a chip off tho old block. Henry Sire, a wealthy horse dealer, was final $5 at Morristown, N. J., the other day, for using profane language on the public streets. His punishment was merited, und it would lie well if men in other cities who •use such languago on the public streets should be similarly punished for every sue h offense. The Now York Star prints a eabio dis patch from London to the effect that the Paris Horning Metes has been bought by Dr. Evans and Galignani's Messenger by Mr. James Gordon Bennett. It is asserted that Mr. Bennett intends to inaugurate a new era in European journalism. He doubt less means to teach the Europeans what American enterprise is. * The veterans of Pickett's division, who are being entertained today at Gettysburg by the veterans of the Philadelphia brigade, are honored with tho presence of Gen. Pickett’s widow and son. Heretofore Mrs. Pickett has refusco to eniergo from tho seclusion so congenial to her retiring dispo sition, but she felt that fur so desirable a purpose as that proposed—namely, the unit ing iu fraternal lionds of tho heroes who liad the courage to fight for their convic tions of right, whether they wore the bine or the gray—she could not decline the in vitation extended her. The Fourt h of July will l>e quite general ly observed this year In this city there will bo no general celebration, but the day will be observed in a quiet way. There will be ninuse.inents of various kinds, the most of ■which will take the people out of town. Philadelphia promises to have about as big • celebration ns any cither city in the coun try. She is getting ready for her Septem ber celebration, and projßises to make the Fourth of July affair advertise the greater ono to occur in September. Spread eaglo orators ou Independenceilav appear to have gone out of fashiou. Mr. Bowen, of Con necticut. has a big talk at his place, known os Woodstock, and that apjicars to answer for th< whole country. I A Remarkable Campaign in Texas. The Prohibition campaign in Texas is gradually attracting the attention of the entire country. It is a very remarkable campaign, not only on account of the bit ter feeling that is cropping out in all parts of the Stale, but. also, tx-oause no political question is involved in it. There are no candidates soliciting votes and no issue that separates Democrats from Republicans. The sole question is the proposed constitu tional amendment, which is to lx- voted upon on Aug. 4, arid which provides that no intoxicating liquors shall lx) manufac tured or sold in tho State except for med ical, mechanical, sacramental and scientific purposes. It is true that there is a political phase to the campaign, but it is yet uncertain what effect it will have upon the result of the contest. The Democrats claim that the adoption of the amendment wili split the Democratic party, and the Re publican lenders arc undoubtedly aiding the Prohibitionists with the hope that the Dem ocratic jwrty will be damaged. The Pro hibition Democrats, however, are confident that tho adoption of the amendment will do the Democratic party no harm, because no principle of tho party is involved. It is worth noticing that although the Republi can leaders are anxious for the adoption of the amendment on account of the possibility that it may in jure the 1 leinoeratie i>arty, they are unable to control any considerable per centage of tlie negro vote in favor of it. They have secured the influence of the negro preachers and politicians for it, but tho esti mates thus far do not give the amendment more than one-tenth of the negro vote. The State lias about .'125,000 voters. Of these nearly 200,000 are native whites, about 80,000 are negroes, and the rest are natural ized citizens. Tho strength of the Prohibi tionists is among the native white people. The negroes and foreign-born citizens have thus far shown a disposition to act with the anti Prohibitionists. The four weeks re maining of the canqmign, however, may change the situation very materially. In no political catnpuigu have the people of Texas been subjected to greater excite ment. Ministers are taking part in this con test, and the women are making their voices heard. The best sjieakers of the State are on the stump, and at many of the meetings wild scenes of lawlessness ore witnessed. Rocks and rotten eggs are quite freely used to suppress free speech, and every day the excitement Ix-coines more intense. If the amendment is carried it w ill be by such a small majority that it will lie difficult to en force the law s enacted to carry it into effect. The experience wherever prohibition has been tried is that it is ineffective unless sup ported by an overwhelming public senti ment. Then- has been a prohibitory law in Maine for thirty-three years, and yet in toxicating liquors are sold freely in the cities of that .State, In the rural districts the law- is enforced because the people there are overwhelmingly in favor of it. Probably four-fifths of the counties of this State have adopted prohibition, and with very few exceptions they enforce it. So gratifying are the results that there is very little danger that they will return to free whisky. Ask any of the saw mill firms, the naval stores producers or the planters what they think of prohibition and they will not hesitate to express their approval of it. Their labor is worth much more to them now than when there was a dram shop at every cross roads. On Friday the high license system went into effect in Minnesota. It costs SI,OOO in cities of over 10,000 inhabitants and SSOO in cities having less than that number to get a liquor license in that State now. It cannot be doubted that the temperance cause is making progress. If there is a prohibition candidate for President in 1888 he will get a much larger vote than St. John got in 1884. A Lesson for Bank Directors. Comptroller Trenholin says that he thinks that the failure of the Fidelity National Hank of Cincinnati will prove Ix-neficial in one respect. It will cause hank directors to make a greater effort to keep themselves ac quainted with the workings of the institu tions with which they are connected. It is probable that the wm-k of the Fidel ity hank bus scared bunk directors in differ ent parts of the country a little, and for a time they may pay closer attention to their duties. It was said, however, when the Marine National Bank of New York was wrecked by Fish and Ward that bank direc tors had received a lesson which they would not soon forget. It seems, however, that tliev did soon forget it. It is pretty safe to say that tlie directors of at least half the banks in the country know nothing of the affairs of their respec tive institutions. They meet at certain stated periods and have a statement read to thorn of the condition of the institutions which they are supposed to direct, but if the truth were known it would doubtless p|x-ar that they trust everything to the liank officers, and accept their statements without questioning them. There ought to lie some method adopted which would require di rectors to discharge their duties conscienti ously and faithfully. It is stated that the Fidelity Bank’s busi ness was conducted in a very loose and un systematic way. There appeaml to lx* no head to the institution, and thousands of dollars might have lxx-n stolen very easily without anybody's being aware of the fact for weeks or months. The directors didn’t bother themselves about the bank's nffairs, and the chief officers were pretty busy in getting hold of nil the cash they could lay their hands on. It is not known how many of them were in the wheat deal, but the developments thus far show that at least three of them were using the bank’s funds to buy wheat on margins. They held near 80,000,000 bushels on which they lost aliout 12c. a bushel. This loss in dicates pretty closely how much they took from the banks. If the directors had at tended to their duties the wreckers would not have had a chance to use the bank’s assets. Tho best way to comjiel directors to do their duty is to tuako them liable to the extent of their private fortunes for losses which their banks suffer through their negligence. During a single day in Now York, last week, three cases of death from tetanus, or lockjaw, were reported, all the patients be ing boys. In two of tho cases wounds from toy pistols were the cause. To-morrow being the Fourth of July, many more such cases will doubtless be reported from all parts of tlie country. There is a Virginia law, passed many years ago and still in existence, which im poses u fine of fifty pounds of tobacco oil a man absenting himself from church one month without a valid excuse. If tho law were enforced many a Virginian would ho bankrupted buying the tobacco with which to pay hiii lines. THE MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY. JULY 3, 1887. Exhibiting a Murderer. Readers of the Morning News will re memlicr the account published a few days ago of the scenes at the Louisville jail in which Turner, one of the negro murderers of Jen nie Bowman, was confined. Thousands of people of both races, some of them young women of refinement, visited the brutal murderer, either to gratify their curiosity, or to offer money and sympathy. It is difficult to understand how the au thorities so far forgot their duty to the pub lic as to permit Turner to place himself on exhibition. It is still more difficult to un derstand how tho public could make So much of such a brute. The attentions shown him tended not only to glorify his dreadful deed, but also to incite othedl of his race to follow his footsteps. Commenting upon the matter a writer says that capital punishment is intended to servo three purposes, viz: To punish the criminal by death, to rid the community of him, and to warn those who survive him not to commit like deeds if they would avoid tiie same fate. It is not likely that the execution of Turnerwill serve as a warning to others of his race who may lx) tempted to commit murder. His confine ment was u burlesque on imprisonment and a disgrace to those responsible for his safe keeping. Doubtless the good citizens of Ixniisville are glad that tho harfgman’s rope has done its work. Every convicted murderer should be se cluded from the public gaze and executions should be in private. Such a course is best for the murderer and also for the public. It permits him to make preparation for death, if such a thing is possible, and it causes the public to regard capital punish ment with the awe that should invest it. This is a matter that the General Assembly of Georgia might well deal with, for the rule in this State is that executions shall be in public. The Tramp Pest. In France, not long ago, n tramp named Marot passed a chateau which was used by it s wealthy owner as a kind of receptacle for old-fashioned furniture and pictures. It was uninhabited, but it was visited and its contents were examined at intervals of three months by the owner’s workmen. Marot went up to the door, and as his repeated knocks and rings received no response, he txik out a “jimmy” which he carried for use upon such occasions, and, forcing the look, entered the chateau. A hurried ex amination convinced him that not even a prince in fairy land could have cast his lines in a place more pleasant. The cellars were stocked with wines of the best brands, and there were plenty of provisions in the larder. Determined to profit by his good fortune, Marot sat down and regaled himself with wine and fowl. Then —unusual pursuit for a tramp—lie lx-gan to think. The result was that he deeided that he must have a comrade with whom to share the good things he had discovered. Accordingly, he walked a short distance down the road, where he met another tramp. The pair returned to the chateau and made themselves com fortable for several weeks. They turned the drawing-room into a kitchen, and burned the frames of the fine old pictures as fire wood. Finally, having consumed all the liquor on the premises, they made prep arations for setting the chateau on fire. Their design was foiled, however, by the sudden appearance of the owner’s workmen, who to their surprise, saw stndke issuing from the chimneys, and broken bottles ly ing all around the doorsteps and on the lawn. Entering the chateau they found the two tramps placidly seated in the draw ing room, preparing to drink the last bot tle of wine. Both were at once arrested, and, after trial, Marot was condemned to twenty years penal servitude, and his com rade to half that term. This occurrence shows that the tramp is much tho same all over the world. His peregrinating habits make him a free lance, and he unhesitatingly defies the law when ever he thinks there is no danger of punish ment. In this country he hits become a pest. In most cities, and in some of tho larger towns, he is promptly arrested when he shows himself, but in the country he generally eseajies such a fate. In Georgia the vagrancy laws cover his ease, and when ever he tramps through a country district the citizens ought to arrest him and turn him over to the (Sheriff. It is only in this way that he can be prevented from doing injury to both persons and property. At Ottawa, Ont., the other day Grand Chief Engineer P. M. Arthur, of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, ad dressed a public meeting. He said tlmt there should lie no .conflict between capital and labor. Labor had its rights, but no labor organization had a right to prevent others from working. It was a right given by God that a man could quit or a man could work, but when labor organizations tried to pre vent others from taking the place of strikers, they made a mistake. *'Bo honest, truthful and do your duty,” ho continued. ‘‘lt is not wealth or good clothes that make a man; it is character, and ho who has that is the l>eor of any nmu on earth.” These are the words of wisdom. The statement is made that there is an organized movement among n number of Hepublican politicians having for its object the nomination of Gen. Sheridan for Presi dent. Those engaged in the movement be lieve that a conflict will develop in the Republican national convention between Blaine and Sherman, which will prevent the nomination of either, and that in con sequence Gen. Sheridan ran bo nominated ns a compromise candidate. It will be found, however, that several other leading Republicans will be anxious to serve as compromise candidates, ami confusion will result Senator Call, of Florida, who is in Wash ington, does not appear to have much suc cess with certain appointments he wants made. He tried to haven lighthouse keeper appointed somewhere on tho Florida coast, hut it seems that the Federal oflii'er who supervises such appointments lmd more in fluence than the Senator has, and secured the appointment of a man not at all satis factory to tho Senator. Mr. Call had his revenge by writing the Secretary of tho Treasury a tart letter asking that the ap pointment be cancelled. Ex-Gov. Chauneej F. Pennsyl vania, says that his State will give the Democratic Presidential nominee n larger vote next year than at any time since 1*5(1. There are good reasons for believing that many Republicans will vote with the Dem ocrats. Pennsylvania has had enough of Republican misrule, and is plainly anxious to take rank as a Democratic State. A groat deal of sadness is in store for the Philadel phia Press. In the Chicago the government seems finally to have obtained n sea-worthy war vessel. So much for the care exercised by tho Democratic administration. CURRENT COMMENT. About This Time. From the New York World (Pent.) i About this t ime tli- colleges are tacking large capital letters to tlie right hand side of the I naiii*-- -if good citizens and thealphaix-t is being j sadly drawn upon. About this time, also, tho ! small boy is picking out the dog whose tail he j intends to dec-irate with Chinese fireworks on the Fourth of July. The Colonel Company in Peril. From the Boston Advertiser (Rep.) j It Is a safe ride to infer that when a custom is {.. laughed at it ir- i least liegitmiiig to lose ground. | The Alabama evp-isure imperils the Colonel company who never warred, and whose part in j Southern life, so far as titles go. is chiefly pic turesque. In due time even Southerners will doubtless own that the prefix "Colonel" is as meaningless as the "Ksq " many New England ers bestow on I he slightest pretext. Outrages and Outrages. From tlie Boston Herald (hid.) Our Senator Hoar is being somewhat rallied by those who recognize his sensitiveness on the subject of the treatment of the colored race, on account of the late difficulty at Anbury Park, in New Jersey. Hero is an outrage, apparently, but Mr Hoar cannot bo expected to attend to everything of this character. These matters have to lie subdivided, and Mr Hoar's specialty in dealing with them relates solely to their political aspect. In this point of view Northern outrages are not half as interesting as are South ern ones. Reunions of Northern and Southern Men. From the Philadelpia Press (Rep.) The comminglings and reunions of Northern and Southern men are therefore to Ik- encour aged and promoted on the highest patriotic ground. It produced a happy effect when Fitz Hugh Lee stood in Philadelphia last w inter and proclaimed that ho put tho past liehind him, and accepted the Union as it is with all its obliga tions. It is an auspicious circumstance that Pickett's Division and the Philadelphia Brigade are to meet in fraternal ami hospitable greeting on the field of Gettysburg. Such reunions in volve no humiliation and no wrong on either side, and under their snuffy influence the differ ences which brought tho clash of swords melt away. The broader this intercourse between the sections, the betier their understanding and the more friendly their relations. BRIGHT BITS.

Not long ago the mother of three sleek bull terrier puppies owned by a saloon-keeper in Sixth avenue, near Thirty-eighth street, was crushed to death by a barrel of whisky which the bartender dropped on her in the cellar. The puppies lay in a nest of rags in the comer. As they were less than ten days old the bartender and the saloon-keeper feel them on milk for two or three days, but the little orphans whimpered piteously, and would not be comforted. When the bartender went down to play nurse on the fifth day, the whimpering had ceased. He felt in the nest of rags. It was empty. While he was hunting for the pups under boxes and barrels in the dark corners, he was saluted by a hiss and a “spat." Striking a match he peered into a cracker box agafhst the wall. In this box a week l>efore an old Maltese cat had given birth to n litter of four kittens, all but one of which had been drowned. The bartender was astonished to find the old Maltese cat’s family increased to its original nunilier by the missing puppies. Their eyes blinked in the match light, buthey were getting their dinner with puppy-like industry. The only remaining kitten lay between two of them, and was as busy as t hey were. The old cat evidently had heard the puppies whining. After enduring it as long as she could, she must have carried them in her teeth to her box and adopted them. They still share her bed and board, and the old cat shows no partiality in washing, feeding and protecting them. The incongruous happy family is the marvel of that neighborhood. The Daisies. Unfurling broad and bright their petals A mono the lowly weeds and nettles, Proclaiming wide their Maker's praises. Stand brave, gold-hearted, honest daisies. The wind that o'er the green fields passes And whispers softly to the grasses, Their messenger or love from fays is Now answer back by nodding daisies. Nature is prodigal of treasure. To scatter jewels is her pleasure; Each child of Poverty that plays, is A queen fresh crowned with dewy daisies. O flowers, fair types of Youth and Morning, The brow of Innocence adorning! Far better than the victor’s bays, is The little child's white wreath of daisies. In sunny meadß, the gentle maiden, With Cupid's unsought burden laden. Thro' smiles or tears thrids all the mazes Of Love with fortune-telling daisies. Thro’ many a flower of fame and fashion, Of purity, or pride or passion, A-blooming where the Zephyr strays is, Above them all I love the daisies. Tho’ Time be old. Love's footsteps linger, And toward the flower he points his finger, And tho' hfs head be gray, he gazes With moistened eye upon the daisies. -M. N. B. He Saw the Point. From the St. Louis Critic. They were two young matrons, and as the re porter sat in the car they occupied the seat di rectly in front of him. “Well,” said the young est. “I wish Charley wouldn't act as if he thought that that because it’s my first baby I didn't know how to take care of it. He never interfered sit with anything before. But now, when be is startmgofTin the morning, he begins: ‘I wouldn't take baby out if it turns cold; and don't put that wool veil over her eyes again;and you had better try the water in the hath tub be fore you put her in.’ and so on, and so on.” "Yes. I know,” re joint'd the elder lady philo sophically, “they all do so till the novelty wears oil. To hear the rooster crow one would think it was he who was doing the Incubating. 1 stood it as long as I could with Harold, but one day when hi* w as struggling into bis overcoat and leaving numberless charges about baby's food and flannels and medicine and wrappings. I said very sweetly and dutifully: ‘You may rest easy, dear, while you are down town at your busi ness. I will take just as good care of baby as though she were my own child.’ ‘Your own child:' he replied, gaspingly. He looked at me a moment: then he saw too point. He kissed me good by in silence and then went off, but he ha.- never sjpee tendered me any gratuitous ad vice on that subject.” Her Faith Was Solid. /■Voi/i the Detroit Free Press. The train side tracked between Verbena and Montgomery for another to pass, and some of us got off anti went over to where an old negro woman was fishing in a mud-bole. It was that and no more nhr less. In building the railroad a lot of dirt had boon removed and the recent rains had lilted it with brick-coloriwl water. Kveiyln dy laughed at the idea of her fishing in that spot, and the Colonel approached her and said • “What are you fishing for, auntie f “Fur fish, sah,” she replied, as she gave (ho pole a jerk. “But you don't expect to find fish in there, do you?” “Doan’ II 'Deed, but I does!

From the Poston Globe. Some few days ago a placard appeared in the window of a large hardware store on Vashing ton street, which bore upon its snow wmto sur face in black letters the legend, "Boy wanted." in answer to this call for help a veritable street arab went into the spue, and going up to the Junior mcinlier of the Arm, raid: j “1 came in !" sis* alxiut tlmt job."

Great Britain and Germany own nearly all the rest. R. C. Parker, of Battle Creek, Mich., has a £1 bill which was 113 years old last April, having been issued two years before the Declaration or Independence was signed. , It has lately been discovered that an Italian nobleman, who frequented the most exclusive London society and Vlqb.s at night, sells tinware from a handcart in tho suburbs during the dnv. The managers of the Stillwater fair, Michi gan, sold the privilege of running the whe i of fortune for $l5O last year. The wheel man won and this year the fair managers have raised the price to $875. The umbrella has figured more than once in war. It was recent ly used to protect the Sheriff at Bodyke from some boiling meal. Lord Kerr led his troops all through the Indian mutiny with an umbrella. Osman Pasha carried a large white umbrella into action at Plevna. Wini.b Julia, the 11-year-old daughter of William Stcgelman of Olovordale, Cal., was walk ing up the hillside, near her father’s house, the other day, a doe jumped up with two fawns, one of which, in its fright, ran to a clump of bushes and lay down. Stealing softly up she was enabled to catch it, and is now rearing it for a pet. A Cincinnati Jew owed a clothing firm in that city SSO for an overcoat, which he did not seem inclined to pay. An attorney induced him one day to take a Turkish hath, and while he was en joying himself a constable came in and took all his clothes, not even leaving him his shirt stud. After a three hours’ wait his brother brought him his old suit. The following story is told concerning the Crown Prince: He was gloomy during the re turn trip from his Bornstadt estate, but after a heavy rain liegnn falling he brightened up won derfully, and then turning to an old friend ho whispered a won! to him. The attendant gen tlemen puzzled their brains in vain as to what important decision had been confided to his friendly ears. At last, after much exertion, they discovered that his Imperial Highness had said: “Thank God! this rain saves my Born stadt j>otato crop.” Mrs. Ann McCormick, of Otisville, who is al>out 65 years of age and weighs over 200 pounds, walked all the way from her home to Flint, Mich., a distance of fifteen miles, starting at 2 o'clock in the morning, under the impres sion that what little property she owned was to be sold at sheriff's sale, nut when she reached her journey's end the poor old lady was over joyed to discover that ner fears in that direc tion were groundless. After resting awhile and getting something to eat she started home again ny the overland route. An exciting scene that occurred in the Queen's Theatre, Manchester, recently, during the performance of a sensational drama, is chronicled by an English paper. Toward the close of the third act, when the hero apjears to he in tho power of the villain of the piece, a mail in the gallery* rose to his feet, shook his fist at the actor, who was personating the villain, and then took a lean from the gallery to the stage, on which he fell with a sickening thud just be yond the footlights. Actors and audience were alike excited, and shrieks were heard from all parts of the house. The man was at once car ried off the stage and removed to the Royal in firmary, where It was found that his leg was broken and he bad suffered other injuries. The distance from the gallery to the stage is thirty feet. It turns out that the man's name is Man deville, and that the name of the heroine of the piece is also Mandeville. A few* weeks ago a colored farmer named Davis, living on the Wright plantation, about ten miles from Helena, Ark., suddenly disap peared from his home. No one was able to give a satisfactory reason for his absence, and fears were entertained that he had been foully dealt with. A party was formed to scour the woods for him. and after a continued search for several days they caught sight of him in the thickest part of the woods, miles away from any settle ment. He was perfectly nude, and had been subsisting on berries and herl>s. Whenever his pursuers would approach him he would scream: “Who are you*'* and immediately run away. He was evidently a raving maniac, and all at tempts to capture him have been fruitless. An other party has been formed for the purpose of effecting his capture. He has no particular haunt, as he has been seen several times in various localities by different people. As soon as he is observed he rushes madly through the undergrowth and trees. The supposition Is that he became lost in the woods, and, being unable to find his way out, he became insane. People who want to enjoy a play in peace of mind will have to go to Belgium. The new Flemish theatre in Brussels promises, when completed, to afford every guarantee of safety which the most timid playgoer could desire. The materials employed in its construction are stone and iron, and though it will be impossible to dispense with wood work altogether on the stage, all the timber used will first bo rendered absolutely incombustible. Two broad flights of stairs, one at each side of the main entrance, lead to the grand circle and the foyer,which are on the first floor. The three upper tiers have each its own independent stairway opening directly on the street. The building is provided with twelve different outlets; nine for the egress of the spectators and three for that of the per sonnel. But the most original feature in the construction is the system of external balconies or out galleries, corresponding to those in the interior of the building, with w hich they com municate by no fewer than 100 different doors— twenty five to each tier. These balconies Jire further connected with each other by iron stairs of good width and easy descent, and the lowest of the four is capacious enough to give standing room to the entire audience. A German writer says of English women: And yet they are not more thoroughly educated than German women; on the contrary, they learn far less. They are not so crammed with historical tables, empty words and subtile rules and minor rules, w hich sometimes produce a sort of blue-stocking indigestion, but in most cases are so far forgotten as to do no further harm- but also little good. What English girls once learn—however meagre the Quantity— seems to become more part and parcel of them selves. They are not too much pressed when they are quite young; they remain longer under the hands of their teachers and governesses, and, even w hen they come out, they do not always suddenly give up all study, as our young girls mostly do. Consequently, though they really know’ less, their horizon is wider, and they are able to command it in a more practical way. In respect of purely scientific matters, as wvfl as of literature and art, in spite of the few* lady doctors and professors, the knowledge of English ladies is at a low enough ebb. But, on the other hand, they take more interest in many of the questions or tho day, and can discuss them letter t<#o—questions which need not nec essarily always refer to polities. A telegram from Niagara Falls, Juno 20, says: 8 to. Peer, a local celebrity, who outdid Blondin in daring feats around Niagara, and re cently crossed on a five-eighths inch cable, is dead. Ever since he did his last daring act he has l>eon drinking heavily, and William Leary, proprietor of the Elgin House, has been watch ing him closely. List evening Peer went out with John Gillespie and a stranger, and later was seen in the same company near his rope. As he did not turn up by 8:30, and no trace of him could be discovered elsewhere, it was concluded that he must have got on his rone and fallen from it. or tumbled over the bang. Ropes and lanterns were procured, and Peer's brother, with John Connolly, wen l lowered down, and near the bottom of the incline they found Ins lifeless body The body was badly cui. ai.d death must have been instantaneous. His body was raised to the top of the precipice bv means of ropes, and taken to the Elgin House. A good many rumors are afloat regard ing the manner of his death. Among t hern is on** that he committed suicide, there being, it is said, some trouhle existing between himself and wife; but the general belief is that he attempted to walk out on the cable when recovering from Ids spree, lost his footing, and fell into the abyss A peculiarly distressing case of mental dis ease has just east a shadow over the home of one of the best known families on tho North Ride of Chicago.
