AFRAID OF THE PEOPLE.
The New York Kepnbllcnns Prepared
to Oct Down to Dirty Work
New York, July 20.—Tlie Democratic
camp is sorely troubled. Well-informed
Democratic politicians are now commenc-
Jim Currie is reported as on his way ing to give credence to the rumor that the
to St. Louis, to have an interview with State legislature will be convened after
, : r* . the October election, for the purpose of

tial electors. It is admitted by several
leading Republicans in the State that they
are In favor of having such legislative ac
tion taken as will efTect a permanent
change in the manner of choosing presi
dential electors, and it is said that the
great Oneida chieftain is one of the
strongest advocates of the proposed
change. The Republicans argue that New
York City controls the State, and in view of
this it is only proper that some other system
than the existing one should be introduced.
The plan which meets with most favor
is to choose electors by congressional dis
tricts. If such a plan should be adopted
it would be tlie means of giving half (or
thereabouts) of the presidential electors
in New York State to Garfield and Ar
thur. Some are radical enough in their
opinions to propose that the legislature,
when convened, should appoint the elect
ors, and abolish tbe system of choosing
electors by the people.
Democrats are greatly exercised over
the situation, and vague but ominous
threats are held out should the Republi
cans endeavor to •‘subvert the will of the
people.” It is urged by those who dis
countenance the present method of voting
for presidential electors that the legisla
ture can constitutionally make any change
it deems fit, and as tbe mode now in prac
tice is not satisfactory, the statute should
be repealed and a new law made.
The constitution of tlie United States
says “each State shall appoint, in such
matter as the Legislature thereof may di
rect, a number of electors,” etc. This is
what the Republicans take their stand on,
arguing that inasmuch as they have the
power of directing the appointment of
electors, they also have the appointment.
The fact that electors were originally ap
pointed by the legislatures in different
States is strongly set forward as au argu
ment in favor of abolishing tbe present
system. Should the legislature in the
States where both branches are Republi
can decide to revert to the old system
dj some other approaching it, the result
wonldbe a decisive victor)' for Garfield and
Arthur. Tune and circumstances will,
however, tel! what is brewing in the rival
camps.—Cincinnati Commercial.
Picking Pockets on the Dome of St
Peter’s.
Professors of larceny are just now some
what at a disadvantage in Rome, where the
vigilance of tlie royal police appears to
leave them but slender chance of practic
ing that liberal art with comfort and im
punity, even in the most out-of-the-way
nooks and comers of the Eternal City.
Deep underground, or high among the
clouds, in the Calixtine Catacomb, or on
St. Peter’s dome, the eye of the detective
is ever on the watch for them, and sternly
declines to wink at their nefarious deeds.
Only the other day a Danish lady, having
cl i mbed to tlie “bad eminence” of the galle
ry that encircles the very crown of the huge
Basilica’s ctipalo, was wrapt in contem
plation of the wondrous panorama spread
out beneath her feet, when an elegantly-
dressed youth approached her with sym
pathetic and well-chosen words of admi
ration for the stupendous spectacle. A
short conversation ensued, after which
her interlocutor, deeply bowing, with
drew. Some inexplicable inward impulse
prompted the Scandinavian dame to feel
in her pocket for her purse. It was gone,
and there seemed no reasonable hope for
its recovery. Instinctively, however, she
set up a mournful cry of “A1 ladro!”
when, loand behold! two elegant civil
ians emerged from a secret ambush, and,
hurrying down the gallery stair, caught
the thief before he had reached terra Jir-
ma, searched him on the spot, and, finding
the pilfered purse in his possession, forth
with conducted him to tlie lock-up. His
discomfiture may be more easily con
ceived than described.

rapidly settled.
—The total number of paupers in Lon

—The effect of tho expulsion of the
Jesuits from France'is likely to promote

—Louis J. Jennings, the London cor
respondent of the New York World, pre
dicts that Gladstone will use his majority
in the House of Commons to reapportion

—No harvest will ever again ho reaped

—Dr. Tanner has a divorce 1 wife in

her confidence, says the theory that peo

until it became a mania, and made him
exceedingly disagreeable to his family.
He tried to impress his theories upon his
wife and she resented the experiment and
left him. She was fend of good livin,
and wanted three square meals a day.

was emptied over thin silk without stain

great drops like quicksilver.
—This is the pen portrait that the Lon-

forty-seven years. He has a square head
and a broad, massive face. He is clean
shaven. His upper lip is thick and deep.
His utterance clear, measured and dis
tinct, and when engaged in conversation
he uses liis eyes with great effect, as if to
impress one with every word he utters.
The general expression of his counten
ance is not pleasing.
The Richest City op its Size.—
Frankfort-on-the-Main, with a population
of about 100,000, is reported to be the
richest city of its size in the whole world.
It is asserted that there are one hundred
Frankforters worth from four to five mil
lion dollars each, r.nd two hundred and
fifty who arc worth one million dollars
and upward. The city is one of the great
banking centres of the globe. Its aggre
gate hanking capital is estimated at two
hundred million dollars—more than one-
fourth of which the Rothschilds, whose
original and parent house is there, own
and control.
—We noted the fact a day or two ago,
says the Commercial Bulletin, that some
three thousand Chinamen had been en
gaged in'Nevada to do farm work, white
bands being scarce. We observe now.
that there is a an urgent demand for
farm hands in California, which can only
be met in the same way. The Sacramento
Bee says the fanners would prefer white
labor, but it is not to be had; whereupon
the editor remarks with point: “If those
who, proclaim ‘the Chinese must go’ so
vociferously would only be willing to la
bor and not leave so many avenues of em
ployment open to the Mongols, their de
parture might be expedited.”
—A recent census of New Zealand has
revealed the fact that the Maories are
rapidly decreasing, and it is quite possible
that a generation or so may fiud them ex
terminated altogether. The causes given
for this national decay are love of drink,
had food and clothing, unwholesome
dwellings, neglect of cleanliness, and
generally low social habits. In 1SG1 the
Maories were estimated to number 55,330,
hut since then they have decreased to 43,-
595, .or about 20 per cent, in seventeen
yeajp. The natives of Hawaii, however,
arc showing a still more rapid destruc
tion, for they have decreased from 67,125
in 1860 to 44,083 in 1878, or a^ the' rate of
23 per cent, in twelve years, or S2.4 .per
cent, for seventeen years. 'In their case
the mischief is hastened by the prevalence
of leprosy.
-r-The scheme to have tho New York
legislature called together for the purpose
of providing that electors shall be chosen
by congressional districts, which was
much discussed at one time, seems to be
in process of revival. A New York dis
patch to a Cincinnati paper states some
what positively that the legislature will
be called together immediately after the
October election for this purpose, and that
by the change the Republicans expect to
secure at least one-half the electors in
New York. There is no law to "prevent
this, but it is very difficult to believe .that
any such action is seriously contemplated
by the Republicans. It would be a peril
ous confession of weakness. ' It is assum

Successful Tea Raising in Georgia.
A Washington special to the World
says:
Tlie officials of the Agricultural Bureau
are very much gratified at the progress in
tea-raising in the South. A Mr. Jackson,
who has -over thirty-five thousand tea-
plants on his farm near Savannah, Ga., re
cently sent to the commissioner of agri
culture a tin box containing several sam
ples of the tea raised on his farm. The
Commissioner subsequently took the sam
ples to New York and went incoguito to
one of the largest tea establishments there,
representing that he bad some tea to sell.
An espertwas called in toexamine the tea
and he pronounced it India tea worth 50
cents a pound. Commissioner Le Due Ihen
had difficulty in convincing the expert
that the tea was grown iuthis country
and could be produced for one-third the
price named. The tea is represented as
being very palatable aud difficult to dis
tinguish from the imported article. Pro
vision having been made by Congress for
the establishment of a tea farm, arrange
ments are now making at the Agricultu
ral Bureau looking to the selection of a
place in South Carolina for the experi
ment. There are constant applications to
the bureau for tea plants, and it is ex
pected that in a short time hundreds of
thousands of plants will be growing in
this country. The commissioner thinks
that it is only a question of a short time
when capitalists will begin to see the im
mense profits to be realized from tea rais
ing, and in a few years he expects that
the United States will be producing as
much tea and sugar as may be needed for
home consumption.
Roman Gluttony.
With the Empire began that epoch of
splendid gluttony, which has no parallel.
The history of the Cajsars, with some ex
ceptions, is tlie narrative of a continual
orgie. Take the notorious group at ran
dom—Commodus, Caligula, Tiberius, Ve
ras, Viteilius, Nero, Heliogabalus, Domi-
tian. These men spent their lives in a
round of monstrous debaucheries. The
day and the night, we are assured, were
not long enough for their revels. Veras,
the first to increase the number "of guests
from nine to twelve, prolonged liis sup
pers throughout the night. Nero sat
at table from midday to midnight. Tibe
rius spent two days and a night at the
festive board. They had huge appetites
—not only tlie gigantic Maximin, who de
voured forty pounds ot flesh-meat and
drank five gallons of wine at a meal, hut
finical dandies, like Commodus, who
ate even in Jlie hath; Viteilius,
who ceased eating only while he
slept; Domitian, who ate “out of
his hand” to stay his stomach in tlie
intervals of regular repast; Heliogabalus
was pernaps tlie most elaborate, Vitei
lius the most extravagant jn his daily
fare. The latter squandered in seven
months £7,000,000, chiefly on his table.
The total staggers belief; but let us exam
ine the figures on the other side. Tlie
Roman epicure is reported to have paid
£05 or so for a mullet; a brace of pigeons
cost £1 12s. At an entertainment given
to Viteilius by his brother, 2,000 of
the rarest fish, and 7,000 of the
most curious birds were served
up. One individual spent £5,000
on a single disli, made of the
tongues of the costliest, singing-birds. The
Roman Ion vivant, supping on tlie brains
of peacocks and pheasants, the tongues
of nightingales, and the roes of the most
delicate fishes, swallowed thousands of
pounds at a meal; and we need only mul
tiply the individual expense by the num
ber of the guests to form a notion of the
cost of a high-class dinner in the (lays of
the Ca-sars. A suppef in the Apollo
meant one or tWb thousand i thrown
to tbe purveyors. Rut the Emperors
were certainly the most reckless in
the profligacies of the table. Seneca and
Tacitus are among the authorities who
tell'us that Heliogabalus spent £20,000
ligulaspent £80,000 on a supper. The mag
nificence of the emperors was imitated,
if not equalled by citizens, like the Api-
cil, like iEsop, the actor and his son Clo-
dius, like Vedius Follio, wlio fattened his :
lampreys on the flesh of murdered slaves.
These, we know, were brave days for tho
players; but JEsop the comedian must
have had a solid private fortune, for the
Garrick of his age, the great Roscius,
made but 50,000 pounds a year of his pro
fession, an income which would hardly
clear half a dozen barely decent suppere
to illustrious patrons.—Tinsley's Maga

Mo re Filibustering.
Halifax, N. S., July 2S.—Captain
Williams, of the brigantine “Sarah Cai-
ney,” at this port from Turks Island, re
ports that shortly before lie sailed a
Cub in insurgent general, with forty fol
lowers, was landed at Turks Island by a
mail steamer from Hayti, bound to New
York. They had escaped from Cuba to
Hayti in a small vessel, and were closely
pursued by a Spanish man-of-war. While
at that place their . money aud property
were confiscated, and they were ordered
by tbe Ilaytian authorities to leave. Tlie
Cubans then got on board a mail steam'
er, and were landed at Turks Island.
Shortly after their landing there, a Span
ish war vessel arrived and demanded the
surrender of tlio Cubans, which the gov
ernor of Turks Island refused. The af
fair caused some excitement, and Captain
Williams brought dispatches to tho naval
authorities here, giving details concerning
it.

London, July 2S.—A telegram from
the governor of Bombay says Major Gen
eral Primrose telegraphs to-day from Can-
dabar as follows: General Burrows’
force is annihilated. We are going into
the citadel.
The Marquis of Harrington, in an
nouncing tlie news in the House of Com
mons, added: “General Phayre has been
instructed to collect what forces he cau
and march to Candaliar. I have tele
graphed to Simla to send another brigade,
if necessary.
London, July 28.—The second day of
the Goodwood meeting—tho race for the
Lennox stakes was won by Count F. De
Lagrange’s live-year-old chestnut horse,

and Lord Stafford’s three-year-old brown
coit Gil Bias last. Parole held about a
neck ahead for about half the journey,
when Phrenix romped homo easy.
London, July 28.—In the Honso of
Commons to-day the Marquis of Harring
ton, secretary for India, announced tho
receipt of a telegram from Bombay,
which reports a terrible disaster in the
annihilation of General Burrows’ brigade
at Caudahar. No details are given.
A St. Petersburg dispatch says, in relu-
l ation of the report of the death of General

A Constantinople dispatch says au ex
traordinary cabinet council to-day, (Tues
day,) completed the reply to the collective
mote of tlie powers. In the evening the
Sultan’s irade was issued, approving tlie
text -of tlie reply. The minister of foreign
afiairs then signed it and it was handed to
the ambassadors the same evening.
The reply, which is vigorously worded,
is substantially the same as the previous
version which was given as follows :* The
treaty of Berlin merely expressed a wish
for and authorized the powers to of
fer mediation, not arbitration, and de
clares that the decision of tlie recent con
ference gives Greece more territory than
protocol 13 of tlie treaty of Berlin indi
cated, and that the proposed concession
includes positions which it is impossible
for Turkey to surrender. The reply was
drawn up by Mussuras Pasha,who returned
to Constantinople recently at the request
of the Sultan.
London, July 28.—A correspondent
writes to the Ball Mall Gazette that, in
view of the prospective antagonism be
tween the House of Lords and the House
of Commons concerning the compensation
for disturbance iu Ireland bill, a commit
tee has been formed to invite the co-opera
tion of all Liberal associations of tlie
United Kingdom for a demonstration of
confidence in the government, for excit
ing an expression of opinion in
favor of abolishing the hereditary peerage
and the creation of an elective Senate;
for organizing a committee of electors in
permanent session to guard against the
possible calamity ot a return of the To
ries to power; for agitatiug for the sup
pression of parliamentary obstruction, by
adopting the “cloture” or oilier summary
process. The committee will meet early
next week to arrange for public meetings
tliroughout the kingdom .to support the
above proposition. Several well known
metropolitan Liberals will head the
movement.
London, July 27.—A return, published 1
in conn-ction with the hill introduced by
Mr. Plimsoll before quitting Parliament
for tlie better security of vessels
with grain cat goes, shows that between
the years 1873 and 1880, twenty-six steam
ships, laden wholly or partially with grain,
foundered at sea, and twenty-four were
reported missing, aud during the same
period, one hundred grain sailing vessels
foundered, and 111 were reported miss
ing.
London, July 28.—The Minchester
Guardian's London correspondent says
the question is yet undetermined whether
the House of Lords will reject the com
pensation hill or amend it out of exist
ence. Various suggestions for its amend
ment are discussed, but it is probable that
the determined course of Lord Grey aud
liis friends will lead to an absolute rejec
tion of the measure.
Mr. Parnell reappeared in the House on
Tuesday, after an absence believed to
have been mainly to avoid final stages
of the bill. After expressing the opinion
that tlie hill ought to be rejected, he held
himself alooi so that it might he under
stood that lie regarded Abe bill as insuffi
cient; but he took no steps to restrain his
folioweis from voting, all of whom sup
ported tlie government. The division on
the bill was slightly disappointing to the
official side of the Housej as seventy was
the lowest majority that had been counted
on for the measures.
London, July 28.—The race for the
Levant stakes for two year old colts and
fillies was won by Loriilard’s Iroquois; Mr.
Gretton's Isola Madre second, Mr. Curtis’
Camace third. Six ran. The race for
the Findon stakes, for two year old colts
and fillies, was won by Mr. Chaffin's
“Wandering Nun”; Loriilard’s Iroquois
second, and Count De'LaGrange’s Albion
third. Five ran. The raco for the Draw
ing-room stakes, for three year old colts
and fillies, was won by Prince Saltakoil’s
Mask; Loriilard’s Nereid second.
London, Jnly 28.—A correspondent of
tlie Manchester Guardian says there is no 1
truth in the report, published in the Paris
Bappel, that Queen Victoria has written a
letter to the Sultan of Turkey.
After consideration of the evidence taken
by the court of inquiry into the charge
that a marker at Wimbledon was bribed
to mark the target fqlsely in the contest
for the “Olympic” prize on tlie 23d inst.,
application has been made to the author
ities to try by court-martial Sergeant
Marshman, of the marines.
London, July 28.—It Is believed at the
war office that Gen. Burrows’ force con
sisted of E Battery of B Brigade of the
Royal Horse Artillery, the third regiment
of Sinde horse, the Poona horse, a detach
ment of tbe Sixty-sixth foot (14 officers
and 470 men), the First Bombay native
infantry and the Nineteenth Bombay in
fantry, making a total of about 2,700 men.
The following is a Reuter’s dispatch
announcing tlie defeat of tlie British:
“Simla, July 28.—Gen. Burrows has been
severely defeated by Avoob Khan, sus
taining a great loss of life. His farces
were dispersed and compelled to fly, being
pursued three miles. They are now strag
gling back to Caiffiahar in driblets. Two
guns were lost.
London, July 28.—In the House of!
Commons, the Marquis of ' Harrington
stated later that the government had re
ceived farther advices from Afghanistan.
| Gen.'Burrows’ brigaifc numbered between
[•two and'three thousand men. The army
under Ayoob Khan wasstronger than was
expected", consisting of 12,000 men and
thirty-six guns, well served. Strong re
inforcements have been ordered to tho
front, and it would perhaps be necessary to
send troops from England. Lord Harrington
confirmed the report that part of General
Burrows’ force consisted of a battery of En
glish artillery and a battalion of the Sixty-
sixth British infantry. He said he did not
know what force General Primrose had at
Caudahar, independent of General Bur
rows’ brigade. He thought it prohably
was not over 1,200, hut when General
, Burrows’ brigade was detached, some of
■ General Phayre’s troops were ordered to
reinforce Caudahar. If this reinforce
ment was effected, the force of General
Primrose would perhaps exceed 2,000.
Lord Harrington stated further that he
bad received a dispatch from the Viceroy
of India stating that Gen. Burrows has
been severely defeated. Primrose lias va
cated, his cantonments at Candaliar and
retired to the citadel. Reinforcements are
already on the way aud will be pushed
forward as rapidly as possible. Additional
forces will be sent from India. It may be
necessary to anticipate the usual relief
from England.
Another dispatch has also arrived from
the governor of Bombay, who says: “We
cau iurnisb for au emergency three bat
teries, one regiment of British cavalry,
one-half regiment of native cavalry, two
regiments of British aud six regiments of
native infantry, besides a battery and two
battalions in Scinde.” General Phayre
telegraplis: “Fragments of Burrows’ force
are arriving at Candaliar.” Phayre had
been conversiug.by telegraph with Prim
rose, but the^wires are now cut. Phayre
aud Sandemau propose to abandon the
Nari line aud concentrate on )the Rolan
pass route, unless strong reinforcements
are immediately available.
The Viceroy, replying to an inquiry as
to what troops Burrows had, said;
“Horse Artillery companies I and B, a
company of sappers, six companies of the
00th, two squadrons of Sinde horse, one
regiment of Bombay cavalry, and first
and thirteenth native infantiy. Nothing
more is.known. Telegraph is interrupted.’!
Simla, July 2S.—Gen. Phayre has
been ordered to concentrate his forces and
advance to Caudahar immediately to sup
port Gen. Primrose, and his line of com
munication with the rear will he strength
ened by the Bombay and Bengal troops,
who have been ordered to march imme
diately.
Constantinople, July 28.—The Porte
has declared its readiness to execute the
Montenegrin convention in three weeks.
The report of the presentation of the
Turkish reply to the collective note to
the ambassadors is confirmed. The Forte
says it is impossible to surrender Jauina,
Larissa and Mitzovo, and urges further
negotiations.
London, July 27.—The Manchester
Guardian, in its commercial article this
morning, says the leading feature of
Tuesday’s market was the continued
steady demand for India staples in mod
erate quantities', and great inactivity in
other departments. Tlie home demand
was unimproved, and the market was
very quiet. Trices were firm hut with no
hardening tendency in any department.
In the House of Commons this evening,
Lord George Hamilton moved the re
jection of the government’s proposal for an
increase of the income tax. The motion
was defeated by a vote of 230 to 94, many
Conservatives voting with the govern
ment.
London, July 23.—The race for tlie
Steward's cup was won by Mr. Crawford’s
Elfkiug, L-ird Haskin’s hack Tliorpc sec
ond, Tenhroecke’s Veto second. Twen
ty-eight ran.
The race for the Sussex stakes was won
by Prince SoltykofTs colt, Mask; Loid
Falmouth’s Apollo second, Lord Brad
ford’s Zealot third. Six ran.
The Paper Monopolists.
Saratoga, July 28.—Tho American
Paper Makers’ Association began its third
annual session at tlie Grand Union Hotel,
at 11 o’clock this morning. About one
hundred members were present. Tho
president, Win. Whiting, of Holyoke, be
ing absent, Wellington Smith, of Lee,
Massachusetts, first vice president, took
the chair and, before reading the call,
made a few remarks on the present con
dition of the paper trade. He said the
advance in the price of paper since their
last meeting had come from the extraor
dinary demand for paper caused by the
general prosperous condition of tliw coun
try, which had stimulated production and
this in turn had caused a great rise in pa
per stock and chemicals used in its man
ufacture, which had increased the cost of
making paper more than the rise in prices.
He stigmatized tlie attacks on the paper
manufacturers for this rise, as malicious
and uncalled-for. They had said that tlie
rise was caused by combinations, and de
manded a reduction of tbe tariff on
wood pulp. The paper manufacturers had
been glad of an opportunity to present
the facts to Congress, and thus justified
themselves. The advance in paper had
not been nearly as much as it had been
on iron; if Congress goes into a general
revision of tbe tarifi, paper makers will
readily share with other manufacturers
in such reductions of duties as may he
deemed necessary. The introduction of
wood pulp has caused an unprecedented
reduction in tho price of news paper.
Home competition will soon reduce prices.
Reports from divisions were then called
for, but none were forthcoming.
Saratoga, July 28.—In the paper
makers’ convention, Mr. Woolwortb, of
New York, read an article upon the ex
port trade in paper, in tlie course of which
he said the value of paper exported from
America had increased lrom §4,000 in
1809 to $810,000 in 1879, and he believed
it would reach $1,250,000 thi3 year. A
long discussion followed as to the expe
diency ol a mutual agreement on tlie part
of paper manufacturers to suspend the
manufacture of paper at certain stated
times, in order to avoid tho overstocking
of the market and the consequent lower
ing of prices. A committee was appointed
to consider tins question, and at the after
noon session they reported in iaror of the
shutting down of all paper mills from
Saturday night until Monday morning in
cadi week. The report was adopted and
a copy ordered sent to every manufacturer
in the United States.
The New York Ratification Meeting.
New York, July 28.—The Democratic
campaign in this S ate was formally
opened to-night by a very largely attend
ed ratification meeting at the Academy of
Music, over which Hon. Samuel J. Til-
den presided. Mr. Tildeu was enthusias
tically applauded, and on taking the chair
said: “I thank you, my fellow citizens,
for the cordiality of this greeting. I have
come down this evening from my country
home to join with you in expressing and
declaring the purpose of the Democracy,
of New York to sustain the nomination
of Hancock. I have come under tlie
stipulation of your committee that in con
sequence of my liorsencss of voice I shall
not be expected to speak. What I have
to say, therefore, will be but briefly to
touch upon two points. The welfare of
the people oi tlie United States demands
a change in the administration oi the Fed
eral government. Reform is necessary to
remove the abuses which have grown up
during twenty years of continuous power,
prolific of false principles and bad coun
sels. The Republican party, stifling its
conscience, has made itself responsible for
the intrusion, under color of law, into the
chief magistracy of our great republic
of fifty millions of people of a man who
was not elected by tbe people. They hare
set an example, which unless condemucd
by the people and signally condemned
too, will subvert the elective system of
government of which we are so proud,
and substitute in Us place the rule and
dynasty of officers holding over against
the will ot the people. The complete
overthrow of the Republican party in the
election of 1880 grill be a retributive
judgment, and will prevent the repetition
hereafter of the crime of 1870 against the
sovereignty of the people. I congratulate
you upon the nomination and tlie aus
picious prospects of success I see in every
quarter. And now we will proceed to the
order of business of the meeting.”
Here Mr. Tildeu sat down and the ap
plause vss loud ahdj long continued.
During his brief address he was frequently
cheered. Letters expressing regret at
inability to attend were received from Gen
eral McClellan, Horatio Seymour, Gov
ernor Robinson, Senator Kernan, Amasa
J. Parker, J. Proctor Knott, Senator Ea
ton, Henry Watterson, Fernando Wood,
Smith M. Weed, William Dorsheimer,
Congressmen Springer, Sparks and War
ner, and other prominent Democrats. S.
J. Randall was the first speaker. In the
coarse of his remarks he commended the
Eaton tariff commission bill, which had
passed the Senate, aud' would surely be
acted on by the House next December.
He added:
“I want in this connection to say a few
words to the manufacturers of the coun
try, and to assure them that they need
have no apprehension of injury to their
interests in this connection. The highest
annual yield from customs duties during
and since the war was over$210,000,000—
in 1872. The amount necessary now is
generally returned at $135,000,000, and I
assert that this amount cannot ho raised
in an intelligent and business-like man
ner upon articles imported which come in
competition with light articles manufac
tured in this country, without giviug ado
quate protection to our industries. There
may be exceptional industries which may
require greater care, but they are few.
The iron interests of Pennsylvania were
not injured by the bill known as the
“Wood tariff bill,” as I kuov’, either in tbe
rate3 of duty, or manner of its assess
ment, or in the classification of duty.
The truth is that the public debt, and the
payment of its principal and interest, is a
safeguard to our industries. Free trade
is impracticable in our present financial
condition.”
Convention of Agricultural Chemists.
Washington, July 28.—The conven
tion of agricultural chemists ipet here to
day to deteiiuinc upon a uniform plan for
analyzing superphosphates. Gen. J. T.
Henderson, commissioner of agriculture
of Georgia, presided. C. A. Ledoux, State
chemist of North Carolina was secretary.
Delegates from Delaware, Connecticut,
Maryland, New York, Massachusetts,
New Jersey, Georgia, Virginia, North
Carolina, South Carolina and the District
of Columbia were present.
fijThc convention adopted, provisionally,
Fresenius, Newhaur and Luck's method
for the determination of phosphoric acids
in commercial manures, coupled with the
decision that tlie determination of the “re
duced” should be indirect and gravemet-
ric instead of volumetric. It also decided
to appoint a committee to prepare on the
above basis a detailed plan for the treat
ment of commercial manures, and to dis
tribute this plan among those interested
After these questions had been dis
posed of t\je convention organized perma
nently as a branch of tho American asso
ciation for the advancement of social sci
ence. C. A. Gossinean, of Amherst, was
chosen president, and A. R. Ledoux, of
North Caroliua, corresponding secretary,
when the convention adjourned, subject to
the call of the parent association.
The Prince Imperial’s Death Strug
gle.
London, July 2S.—Brigadier-General
Sir Evelyn Wood, who accompanied ex-
Etnpress Eugenie to Zuluiand, has sent to
the papers a description of the death of
the Prince Imperial, collected from inde
pendent narratives of eighteen of the Zulus
who participated in the attack upon the
prince’s party. These narratives show
that the attacking party numbered 40,
twelve of whom followed the prince,
eight of them being immediately con
cerned in his death.
Tlie Zulus, having nearly surrounded
the prince’s party, fired and rushed on
them as they were mounting. The prince,
not liaviug succeeded in mounting, ran
alongside his horse until it broke away.
The prince followed his horse into the
donga until, being closely pressed by liis
nursuers, lie turned upon them, in tlie
words of tlie Zulus, “like a lion at hay.”
Being struck by an assegai inside the left
shoulder, he rushed at his nearest oppo
nent, who fled. Another Zulu then fired
at the prince when only fifteen yards from
him. Tiie prince fired Ins pistol,
and faced his rapidly increasing foes un
til, menaced from his right and rear, and
struck by another assegai, he regained the
level on which he had first stood in the
donga, where he was speedily surrounded.
He seized an assegai, which had been
thrown at him (iu struggling with his
terrified horse his sword had fallen from
its scabbard) and with this assegai de
fended liiuiself against seven or eight Zu
lus, who state that they did not dare to close
on him until he sank exhausted on his hip.
The above facts were elicited from Zu
lus who were examined separately on the
scene of the attack. It may be remem
bered that this is the first correct descrip
tion of the affair that has been published.
London, July 2S.—The Marquis of
Harrington, in the nouse of Commons to
day, said: “Gen. Phayre’s relieving force
will concentrate at Chaman. As the on
ly news respecting Gen. Burrows’ expedi
tion has been telegraphic, I am unable to
give details of his force, but believe it
consisted of one brigade, tlie composition
of which and the number of men are
unknown.”
London, July 2S.—General Burrows’
brigade was detached from the Caudahar
garrison to co-operate with Shore Ali,
whom the British appointed WaliOf Cau-
dahar, against Ayooo Khan, aspirant to
the Ainecrship. When Shere Ali or
dered his forces to retire towards Girishk,
his infantry deserted in a body, but were
pursued by General Burrows, who recov
ered the guns and wagons they bad ear
ned off'. Weakened by the desertion of
Shere All’s infantry, General Burrows ef
fected a retrograde movement to Kushk-
iuakud, thirteen miles nearer Candaliar.
Ayoob Khan’s forces reached Helinond
river above Girishk, and spies reported
that he ha-l crossed that river at Hydera
bad, and that 4,000 Ghazis had joined
him, while parties of his cavalry were for
aging near the British camp.
It would seem as if the Indian govern
ment had felt some misgivings with re
gard to Gen. Burrows’ position for a fort
night. A reserve division in Scinde was
placed under orders for active service. The
division comprises a battery of artillery,
one battalion of British and two regiments
of native cavalry.
By moving this force quickly to
the front, the Quettah and Peshawur
contingents can be relieved for ac
tive duty under General Phayre. Ayoob
Khan’s forces will doubtless make a rush
on Candaliar, but as the recent crop re
ports are very satisfactory, the garrison
will probably be well provisioned. Cha
man, where General Phayre’s force will
concentrate, is about ninety miles from
Candaliar. The governor of Bombay, in
a telegram, says: “Wo can send another
brigade if necessary.”

Danville, Va., July 2S.—In Patrick
county, last Friday, Pmk DeHart met
Amos Wolvine on the road on horseback
with Mrs. DeHart behind him. An alter
cation ensued between the two men, end
ing by DeHart’s shooting Wolvine with a
revolver through the forehead and neck,
killing him instantly. DeHart then pro
ceeded to Patrick Court nouse and surren
dered himself to tbe officers of the law.
Improper relations between Wolvine and
DeHart’s wife have been heretofore sus

Death From Hydrophobia.
Harrisburg, July 28.—Capt. James
H. Stanley, a prominent citizen of Mid
dleton, this county, died last night from
hydrophobia. When the symptoms first
became manifest last Sunday he bade his
frieuds good-bye and submitted himself to
the care of liis keepers, but on Monday,
during violent spasms, escaped and was
found subsequently in th« suburbs, biting
at everything within his reach. The de
ceased was [bitten by his own dog about
five weeks ago.

A doctor of York named Tanner,
Upraised the starvation banner,
He said he was able,
To abstain from tlie table,
And eat not even a banana.
He took his last dinner and started,
Shookliatids with the cook, who departed;
He tightened his belt,
And said that he felt,
Just as though -he could never he
thwarted.
Many days have now passed. Not a min

Has gone down the throat of this sinner,
But liis stomach is slack,
And tlie sway in liis back,
Shows he gets thinner aud thinner.
—The Norristown Herald informs us
that “in New York they have another
brain-distracting puzzle. They take Rev.
Mr. Beecher’s last two sermons explain
ing his belief, and after reading each one
try to guess what his belief really is. No
one has yet succeeded in solving the puzzle
and eminent scholars say it can’t be done.”
—Trade is looking better on the Pacific
coast. The San Francisco Commercial
Herald of the 15th says tlie jobbers are
busy, and, with the certainty of an abun
dant liarvast, a brisk fall business is con
fidently anticipated. As a single illustra
tion of the prevailing feeling, it may he
mentioned that farmers are increasing
their orders for grain hags 15 to 20 per
cent, while last year quite the reverse was
the case.
—The most influential German paper in
Northern Ohio, tlie Cleveland Wacliter
am Erie, has abandoned the Republican
party and come out for Hancock and En
glish. So has tho Pittsburg Volksblatt.
Tho German vote is the only thing which
has saved Ohio to the Republicans for the
last four or five years, the conservative
and property-holding sous of Fatherland
having no sympathy with the “Ohio idea”
in finance.
Wilt. Planters Hold Their Cot
ton.—A noticeable feature of our con
tract market last year was the large sales
of futnres by planters who were covered
by their own crops. There have been
very few such sales this year, farmers be
ing dissatisfied with the ruling rates for
new-crop contracts, aud being abundantly
able to hold their cotton, in consequence
of the high price obtained Jast year. A
New York broker who recently returned
from Arkansas says that iu that State, at
least, new cotton will come in slowly, and
that, if present prices continue, an unu
sually large proportion of the cotton will
he held by the farmers until spring. Th ! s
broker thinks that, even in Arkansas, cot
ton cannot be raised lor less than 94 cents
a pound.
Cotton Vicissitudes.—In his “his
tory of cotton,” Mr. E. J. Donnell says:
“On the 12th of September, 1840,1 first
visited a cotton plantation, and learned
something of the vicissitudes to which
the cotton plant is subject. I then heard
from tlie planter that tho crop was ex
ceedingly promising until the last week
in August. Ou the 20th of August he
considered It past all danger; and, to use
his own words, lie would not have given
ten dollars to have his crop guaranteed.
Within three days one-fourth of it was
entirely destroyed. The result proved
that this was general throughout the
whole cotton-growing country. The crop,
showed a falling off from the previous
one of about one-fourth.” The crop
now maturing in the field seems to us in a
fair way to illustrate some of- the vicissi
tudes of the cotton crop.
—An English writer says that the fash
ions of England and Paris have little in
common just now. The English tenden
cy to abolish distinction of sex in respect
to costume has never been received in
France with great acclamation. If anything
public taste in Paris has veered towards
adopting female fashions in men's cos
tume, but the reverse has been ignored by
the graceful Parisienne who has preferred
to keep within tlie boundaries of her owui
special domain rather than to poach on
the preserves of her neighbor—man. The
willingness to unsex themselves in the
matter of costume has brought on the
English women severe censure in the
Spectator, wherein their appearance is
said to suggest the “solid, hard tightness
of the little wooden figures out of a
Noah’s ark.” The ulster, small linen
collar and Derby hat’are certainly not
garments which offer any positive indica
tion as to sex—hence, argues the Specta
tor, they are uufit for female wear.
—A difference of opinion exists among
European engineers in regard to the prac
ticability of establishing a sea, as now
proposed, in tlie great Sahara, the chief
problem being, it would seem, how to
keep it up. It is argued that, supposing
the sea to be created by means of a canal,
it will lose an cuormous quantity of wa
ter by evaporation every day, without an
introduction of an equal volume of fresh
water. The water evaporated being re
placed by a supply coming through tliq
canal, the whole body will soon reach the
maximum of saturation; and thus, the
evaporation still continuing, a deposit of
salt will be formed which in time, must
fill up the whole space of the interior sea
—the salinity of the water being such
that no animal life would be possible in
it, and the ultimate result being simply
the accumulation of an immense deposit
of salt. On the other hand, the projec
tors of the enterprise claim that the pres
ence of this water, aud its evaporation,
must produce copious rains, which will in
large measure return into the sea, and
thus not only accomplish the object refer
red to, but also convert a sterile waste in
to a fertile country.
An Accession in Pittsburg.—On
Sunday last tho announcement was made
public in Pittsburg, that Colonel Henry
B. Hayes, who has been a lifelong Repub
lican, had espoused tbe cause of General
Hancock. Colonel Hayes is one of the
wealthiest coal operators in thePennsy.-
vania bituminous region, and is known at
all points along the Ohio river as a
man of great liberality. He has stood in
the foremost rank of the Republican lead
ers in Allegheny county and has always
contributed largely of his means to insure
the success of the Republican ticket in
times past. He says, however, that he
will open an extra barrel for tlie hero of
Gettysburg. He was at one time secre
tary of the legation to Denmatk, and has
a gallant war record. His change of po
litical faith will have a great effect upon
the thousands of coal miners, who have
always looked up to him as a leader and
a guide in matters political. The an
nouncement of bis allegiance to General
Hancock fell' like a chilling frost on the
Republican party here, and as lie is a man
of irreproachable record and commands
the respect of all classes, they have not
presumed to express any opinion in the
matter, but are waiting apathetically to
aee who the next convert will be.

Our Keinoval au Accomplished Fact.
Farewell! Farewell! to Oun Old
Contracted Quarters — Wel
come the New and Spacious
Double Store.
After four long years of cramp and in
convenience in a store not one-lialf large
enough for our business, it is with ex
treme pleasure and satisfaction that we
now announce cur change to larger and
more desirable quarters. June 15ili we
broke camp and for two long and back
ache provoking weeks we, with our entire
force, together with a squad of conscripted
corps iTA/rique have been on the “tote.”
We moved in on cur friend the wholesale
grocer and he came in on us. Groceries
and music, soap aud pianos, Moliawk
whisky and Jewsharps, hams aud banjos,
butter and fiddle strings, kerosene and
“Scena dor Freieliutz” music, lard and
flour became so indescribably mixed for a
few days that we hardly knew wliat trade
we were in. Carpenters,-plasterers and
painters joined in the lracas. AU business
was suspended and General Chaos took
commaud and run the campaign as he
pleased. Only those who have been through
the delightful and ever-to-be-remembered
experiences of changing base, with an im
mense stock aud fitting up the new place
after getting in, can appreciate the trials
we liavejust passed through. Tlie ordinary
work of three months doesn’t begin to
equal one moving. But mind and muscle
have finally triumphed over matter and at
this writing (July 1st) comparative order
once more prevails. We have our stock iu
shape and begin to feel at home, but it
will be yet another month ere we shall
complete the improvements in view and
put on the handsome outward appearance
that a first class music temple should
have. Meanwhile we are prepared to at
tend to our trade and make up for the
unavoidable neglect of the past two
weeks. We are filling up with a magnifi
cent new stock and for fall trade shall he
able to offer greater inducements tliau in
any previous year. In our next issue we
will present a detailed description of our
new store and stock, aud until then we
will only say that w« find ourselves fairly
lost with so much space aud are daily re
ceiving congratulations of citizens on our
change. “j ust the place for you and that
your business demands,” is tlie general
expression oi all, and what everybody
says must be so.
