GEN. FITZHUGH LEE AND STAFF AT THE
CASINO—A NOTABLE EVENT IN BROOK
LYN.
New Yoke. February 9.—General
Fi znugh Lee and staff in full uni
form, escorted by the board of offi
cers of the Thirteenth Regiment of
Biooklyn, also in full uniform, at
tended the performance of "The
Queen’s Lice Handkerchief” at the
Casino last night. The interior of
theatie was handsomely decorated
witn flags, the state flsg of Virginia
forming the conspicuous centre over
the box occupied by the Sou hern
soldiers. Accompanying General
Lee was Ciptaiu F. W. Dawson,
formerly of his staff, but now the
editor of the Charleston News and
Courier. After the performance din
ner was sarved at the New York
Hotel. A banquet will be tendered
to the visitors at the Mansion House,
Brooklyn, to-night.
THE REVIEW OF THE BROOKLYN TROOPS.
The New York Herald gives the
following account of the review of
the Broi k yn soldiers by Gen. L>e:
The Thirteenth regiment was re
viewed last evening by General Fitz
hugh Lee, of Virginia, accompanied
by several officers of hie staff and of
the Virginia volunteers. Among
them were Colonel Wertembaker,
Colonel Anderson, C Monel J. Laue
Sterne, Major George Ben Johnston,
medical diiector of the brigade; Ma
jor R W. Hunter, Captain T. S. Kel
lar, Captain F. W. Dawson and Mr.
N >rman V. Randolph. The officers
all wore gray uniforms, the color as
wrn by the Thirteenth. General
Lee wore a general’s chapeau and
epaulettesand the yellow silk sash of
his rank. He also wore the gauntlet
gloves hit bad belonged to General
R ibert E. Lee. and were worn by him
on many celebrated occasions, par
ticularly at Appotomrsx. O.i the in
ti 1 of tne cuff, was the name "Rob
ert E. Lee,” written in ink by the
general himself. After bis death the
gives were sent to General Fitzhugh
Lee and were worn last night for the
first time.
Tne review was probably one of
the most interesting ev. r held by any
regiment, in the New York national
guird. When the passage in the re
view came tne band played "Carry
me back to ole Virgin a,” and when
Fitzhugh Lee uncovered to the flag
i here was a perfect storm of ap
plauee.
A drees parade followed, during
which G n. L-e made a speech to the
men of the thirteenth. Herold them
of their meeting at Yorktown and
how gi d tie was to meet them ng du.

THE RESULT OF DISINTERRING AUGUST
DIEFFENTHAL FROM A PAUPER’S
GRAVE.
New York Sun,
August Dieffenthal arrived in this
country from Germany three months
aeo with tne intention of juining bis
brother, a farmer in California. He
spent a week in this city, and on the
uay fixed for bis departure he died of
heart disease in a lodging house in
Greenwich street. The public ad
ministrator took possession of bis
effects, consisting of two trunks, but
louud nothing in them except arti
cles of rough clothing. The body
was taken to the Weehawken ceme
tery, where, after lying in a vault for
a few days, it was buried in a pau
per’s grave. When the brother iu
California was notified of what had
happ ned he wrote to the public ad
ministrator that August had with
him a large sum of money. Anoth
er search of the trunks was made,but
without revealing any trace of the
tree sure.
The brother then employed a law
yer in this city to investigate the
matter. Yesterday the latter visited
t he cemetery, and caused the remains
to be disinterred. Three undershirts
were found upon the body. Iu the
under one, on the inside, was dis
covered as- cret pooket, which con
tained $2,090 in current notes. The
money was taken by the lawyer, and
the body was deposited iu the dead
house.
A question has been raised as to
whether the money should not have
been delivered to the surrogate of
Hudson county, N. J., in which the
cemetery is situated, and it is
thought that complications may
arise in reg ird to it.
Pay Cash This Year.
We know advice is cheap, and that
when good, it, is rarely followed. But
the evil of the credit system is so
great, it has caused so much poverty,
uistiets and want that it behooves
evi ry one to hi ed and mend their
wajs in this respect. The following
from the Marietta Journal, is timely :
“It would take a very long article
to tell, iu full, all the reasons why
many of our people, farmers and
ot hers, do not prosper arid lay up lit
tle by I it i le something for hard times
ami old age. We are inclined
to think that ■ neot the chief reasons
is to be f'und in the credit system.
Most men would shrink back at the
thought of paying 18 per cent interest
oa money, mid .vet most of these per
sot s sre paying fr< m 30 to 60 per cent
on ail they buy on a credit. Buch a
high rate does not. grow in the lands
ot this section, and it is simply t Oly
to try it on any large amount. Now
the only remedy we know is to pay
c»sh for what you get, and if
you can’t pay cash for all, cut
your operations down to a point
where you can. It is easier to do
when one has made up his mind than
lie has ever thought. A man will
HC'uilly be surprised to find on how
little he can do, when he has to pay
out the shining silver for every arti
cle Le buys. Betides doing on lees,
such a man will find out, many new
ways of bringing a "little change”
that had never oecured to him be
fore. So there is the double beuellt
ot buying less, and making more.—

Col. Nicholas Smith, theson-in law
of Horace Greeley, has been in the
city for several weeks. He is a can
didate for diplomatic honors abroad.
He tried bar i to secure tne mission
to Italy. He is a man who cultivates
a particular striking appearance. He
wears bis hair very long. It is cornu
ed back from his narrow, high fore
beid and carefully curled at the
ends. His eyes aie a dreamy blue.
His face is as sharp and shaven as
Edwin Booth’s. Colonel Smith loves
a tolling frock coat, with the lower
buttons only fastened, leaving on ex
hib tion that wide expanse of linin
s > dear to the signt of a rural swell.
He also wears a huge white tie. He
hue very long and shapely hands.
These he uses in endless gesticula

attracts much attention by his the
atrical manners. He enters the din

upon bis heaving chest. Dragging
one foot afier another, he glides to a
seat, aud then ne plunges into a p-r

Two Sira ga Stories.
I'ickaway in Cincinnati Enquirer.
A very strange story has been told
me by a gjVerument clerk fresh from
Washington. I tell It because it il
lustrates the lumors that are set
in ciicuiation about our beet and
grea’est men;
"Do you know,” he sdd, "that in
the s-cretaiy of sra e’s office, at
Washington a secret record is kept
of the leading events in the lives of
our public men?”
"No!” I said, "Can this be so?”

"A HEATHEN” SENATOR.
A PERSONAL CONTROVERSY WHICH CALLS
FOR PISTOLS AND COFFEE FOR TWO
Washington, Feb. 11.—The New
Yorn Baptist Weekly printed an ed
itorial last week entitled “Heathen
Talk in Oongtess.” Quosiog a few
sentences from tne remarks made by
Mr. Ingalls ou the occasion ot the
Hill memorial services, the editor
concludes as follows:
Mr. Ingalls, we believe, is an infl
del, and these gloomy, hopelees ut
terances fitly embody his sentiments
in relation to a future life. If he had |
chosen another occasion for their ex
pression, we would not question his I
right to announce them, but to do so
in connection with the solemn com
memorative services of a Onristian
Senator was a piece of pure imperti
nence. Mr. Ingalls’ views are sim
ply heathenish. Instead of accept
ing the doctrine of a future Ute so
distinctly taught by Christ, he har
bors the conflicting conjuncture of
old heathen philosophers whose
minds alternated between hope and
fear, and is content to imitate them
in their lamentable hesitation aud
doubt.
MR. INGALLS’ REPLY.
United States Senate Chamber,
Washington, Feb. 10.— Io A. S. Pal
ton, 1). D., Hew York—Sir'. I have
received a marked copy of the Bap
tist Weekly of February 8, which you
were good enough to send me. Iu my
brief tribute to the memory of Sena
tor Hill, whom I honored as a man
and loved as a friend, I presented
those reflections which rise in all
thoughtful minds when meditating
upon tho impenetrable mystery
which vai's the future state of man,
I suggested argument for immortali
ty, based upon the imperfection and
incompleteness cf all earthly careers,
even the longest and most fortunate,
unless supplemented and rounded
out hereafter; and affirmed that from
this standpoint Ii Knew ot no one
whose lite was so rich iu prophecy of
future existence as that of Senator
Hill.
I said further, that though his sun
went down at noon, it sants amid the
prophetic splendors of an eternal
dawn. Upon this you publish de
tached paragraphs of my speech, and
tell your readers, ir you have any,
that lam a heathen and an in fl lei.
If you are a Onristian 1 prefer to be a
heathen; if your religion prompts
or p rrnits you without provocation
to libel those with whose views upon
the great problem of human destiny,
you do not agree, I prefer to be an
infidel. But I am neither the one
nor the other. 1 have had some
doubts hitherto whether eternal
punishment was consistent with in
flnite love; but lam quite sure that
if there is no hell for such bigoted
slanderers and malignant, liars as
you there ought to be. With great
respect, your obedient servant,
J no. J. Ingalls.
How the Millionaire Fleeced
the Poet.
Joaquin Miller, in the Somerville Unionist,
lam tempted to give a little side
incident of my last interview with
Jay Gould and wrestle with the Wes
tern U. ion in Wall street. I bad
seen the stock go down about
eighteen points ami so bought 100.
I' felt live lower, and 1 took 400 more,
Five points lower, 1 took another,
and so on till I was get lag alarmed,
I tnought Jay Gould under some ob
ligations to me, or at least a true
friend, and so stepped across from
my hotel to see him. He was kind
aud purry as a kitten, almost playful
and soon began to point on his maps
the line of his new Atlantic cable.
He himself opened the subject of
telegraphs. The occasion was
opportune. I handed him a
o-rtitlcate ot purchase of Western
Union and asked him what to do, as
I was already on the edge or my
margin. He looked at mo with a
sweet and innocent surprise, as if
saying: "Only to think that any
man would touch that worthless
Western Union!”
“I’m so sorry you have bought this
stuff. My telegraph is the other
line,” he sighed at lengm.
"Yes; I knew. But I bought it
because I thought it cheap, Mr.
Gould.”
"It’s cheaper now, Mr. Miller.”
"And will it be cheaper, Mr.
Gould?”
"Well, we”—looking at his son—
"have not a share of it. It ought to
be a great deal cheaper.”
“Then I shall sell twice the amount
I hold and hedge. Thank you, and
good night.”
And the next morning I did sell—
sell right and left—for the whole
bottom seemed to be falling out or
the Western Union. It kept tum
bling, anh by noon I was even. By
1 o’clock I was not only even, but
almost rich. I was a richer man than
I had ever been before.
I remained rich for about thirty
five minutes. The tide began to set
against me. Western Union bounded
up with a rapidity that fairly made
me dizzy, and by the time the ham
mer fell in the stock board I liierally
had not car fare left.
Having plenty of leisure after that
I wrote down the foregoing conversa
tion and copied it here exactly, I
have not seen Mr. Gould since. But
I find that at the time he sail th it
he had not a share of Western Uoiou
he had about 200.000 shares and was
pi -king it up as fast as he could
knock it down.

A SAND BAGGER TACKLES THE WRONG
MAN.
Chicago, Feb. 11.—At 8 o’clock this
evening. August Gerhardy, foreman
of the tinware department in the
car works of the Chicago and North
wtsrorn railway, was attacked by a
footpad who struck him a powerful
blow on the bick of the head with a
slung-shot. He turned to see who
his assailant was, and the latter
aimed another blow at him.
Mr. Gerhardy drew a revolver and
shot at the man, and the latter also
drew a revolver, which he emptied
at Mr. Gerhardy, none of the shots
hitting him. Mr. Gerhardy then
fired a second shot, which took effect
in the sand-bagger’s mouth, killing
him instantly. The aetim was un
doubtedly justifiable, and Mr. Get
hardy was complimented by the
lieutenant of tne police for bis
prompt action. He will doubtless be
released to-morrow.

The Old Home of Methodism.
Oidham Btieet Wesleyan Chapel,
Maticaes ; er. is to be taken down attet
ail the efforts whicu have beeen made
to avoid tho necessity. It was .the
original home of Wesleyanism in
that city, and wasowued by Mr. Wes
ley himself on the 20th of March, 1781.
The repeated visits of the great
founder of Methodism to the North
are all associated with that place.
There Adam Clarke ministered, aud
the mist famous cf the old preachers
accounted it one of the honors of
their lives that they had been sta
tioned there. In the roil of lie super
intendents or preachers stands the

twice ptesidenr, the grandfather of
the archbishop-elect ot Canterbury.
The conferences hi Id in Manchester
always sit there. It w s once in the

in the midst of a desert of ware
houses. A new central full is to be
built on the site at a cost of £20,900.
