ALICE YOUNG’S TRIALS.AGNES POTTER M'GEE.

Pair and fragile as a wild flower looks Alice Young, standing with her garden liat in her hand and the leaf shadows chasing each other over her golden hair, watching her husband drive away with her beautiful guest, Olive Duane. A bend in the road hides them from view, and the tears that she has braveiy held back swell into her blue eyes.

Oiive’s visit is drawing to a close, and the month that she has spent with her school-girl friend lias caused a strange unhappiness to grow into the young wife’s bosom.

Robert, her husband, has been an idolized hero in Alice’s eyes the four years she lias been his wife. She has filled his life seemingly as completely as he has filled her own, and no doubts o f his faith and constancy has ever marred her happiness until this stately, imperious woman, came ir-to their home. Since then, all unconfessed, even to herself, a weary pain had been growing in her heart.

Olive and Alice were room mates in a fashionable seminary, and through the years o f girlhood a strong friendship had grown up between them. Leaving school Olive went abroad to finish her musical education, while Alice’s first season in society brought Robert Young to her feet.

Early an orphan, and brought up by distant relatives, she had known little o f love or appreciation. It was no won­der that her heart went out to this grave hiindsome man, even at their first meeting, and when lie told her ,fye olden [story” a few months later, and she had promised to be his wife, the world cont ained no happier maiden.

After a brief engagement they were married. lie bad brought his Wife to this ideal home directly from the wed­ding journey, and here the peaceful, joy-crowned years sped away—broken by one great grief.

Two years before our story opens, their little one, “grown weary of life’s journey scarce begun,” closed its won­dering eyes and with lilies clasped within its waxen palms, was laid to sleep where no lovely lullaby would ever soothe its slumbers.

This blow nearly killed the fair young- mother, but a year of travel re­stored her shattered health. Society was given up, and she seemed to live entirely in her husband’s love.

Their home, situated but a few miles from the city, was a perfect dream of summer rest. ■ It had been the center of a joyous throng of guests before baby died, but since then they have lived alone.

Olive was the first guest they had entertained for any length of time; and now after a stay of nearly two months, she was to leave the next day but one.

YYhen she came, Alice was surprised to find her pretty school girl friend developed into a grand imperious wo­man, whose beauty almost awed her, and she did not fail to note—with a strange pain in her heart—her hus­band’s look of admiration when lie was introduced to their guest.

Robert Young was a musical enthu­siast, and this passion was the only thing that ever stirred him out of his out of his usual cultured calm. ■

His admiration of Olive’s wonderful voice pleased Alice at first, but when Olive sat night after night at the piano with Robert by her side, turning mu­sic, or joiuing his rich baritone voice with hers, while his wife was neglected and alone, that same strange pain would creep into her heart; and as day after day passed away, and saw her husband more and more absorbed in their guest, it finally settled there, and all the joy and sunlight seemed to go out of her life.

Through it all no single rule of hos­pitality was broken, no complaint was made, but silently Alice bore her suf­fering and growing suspicions.

She fancied that Robert was grow­ing cold towards her, and all uncon- ciously her manner grew distant to­wards him—which caused him no lit­tle wonder.

Thus matters went on from day to day until this last drive was planned. A lice thought her husband did not de­sire her with them, so pleaded a head­ache as an excuse for remaining at home.

The brawling brook that goes tum­bling through -their grounds, wanders on a few miles further, widening as it travels, to finally plunge down a rocky precipice, sending a cloud of foam high into the air, forming a spectacle famed far and near for its wild beauty. This has been reseived as the crowning treat of Olive’s visit, and it is to see this beautiful spot that Robert has tak­en Olive, leaving Alice alone to weep out her wretchedness that has come into her life.

She brushes the tears from her lash­es and enters the house. She goes to the parlor, rearranges a misplaced orna­ment, and gathers up the petals that have fallen from a rose adorning Olive’s luxuriant hair. She remem- ed how handsome Robert looked as lie • handed it to her, and recalls (with a pang) the playf ul remark with which Olive accepted it. Sighing heavily, she leaves the room and ascends the stairs, thinking of a chest o f draws in which lies folded dainty; fairy-like gar­ments and some broken toys. These have been her solace in many a lonely hour of late, and she will look at them now, bathing them anew with lier tears..

On the stairway her skirts brush a. bit o f paper, and mechanically she stoops and picks it up." In her own room she starts to throw the scrap in­to the waste basket, when something strangely familiar in the Writing

caught her eye, and this is what she reads:

“And yon are jealous of my duty? As well compare a gorgeous hothouse rose to a drooping wayside daisy. I am longing for the time to come when I can call' you mine, and in Italy, ‘ the land of sun and song’, we can be happy together. Yours devotedly,

R o b e r t .”The woicls swam before’ her eyes,

and stunned and blinded she gropes lier way to the bed and falls upon it. “Oh. God!” she cries, “I had not ex­pected this; oh, Robert, Robert! how could you do this wrong ?”

Great tearless sobs shake her con­vulsively as she buries her face in the pillows.

A t length she arises, and with a set. white face, in which stern, resolute lines have already appeared, added years to the girlish features, and with a hand that does not tremble, she pens a few lines, and enclosing them with the fatal scrap in an envelope, ad­dresses it to Robert and places it where he must discover it on entering the room. This done she replaces her white gown with a sober traveling dress, takes the baby’s picture and a sunny curl of its liair from the drawer, and witli silent tears wetting her cheeks placed them in a satchel with some other things ties the ribbons of lier plainest bonnet beneath her chin, and turns to leave the room.

As she does so, Robert's pictured face smiles down at her f rom its frame. She pauses irresolutely for an instant, and with all her soul, looks up into the eyes that seem so full of loyalty and truth.

Thus gazing a softer expression comes into her -pale-drawn features, to be quickly replaced by a sterner one. and hastily dropping her veil, as if in fear her courage would desert her, goes into the hall, down the softly carpeted stairs, and out of the house in which she had been so happy.

At the railway station she is just in time to catcli a train going citywards, and a few minutes later stands amid the babble and confusion of a great depot.

She hurries out into the street, nob caring where she goes, only to go away —away from some horror that seems to be pursuing her. She does not heed the warning gesture of the policeman at the crossing, and he does not reach her side until cruel hoofs have struck her down, and she is lying bruised and unconscious, with pitying faces bending above her.

Willing hands raise and carry the limp burden to the sidewalk. The pa­trol wagon is summoned; she is tender­ly lifted therein, and slowly driven to a hospital.

Upon their return, not finding Alice in the grounds or lower part of the house, Robert went immediately to her room, while Olive went into the par­lor.

The first thing his eyes fell upon was Alice’s farewell message. Hurriedly tearing the envelope open, he was amazed to read its contents. In the utmost bewildermen the read the scrap over and over again, suspiciously like his own writing, yet words that he had never penned. What could it mean? And Alice, his dear little wife, had thought him guilty of such baseness, and had fled from him as from a leper.

His face burned and he shook as one in an ague. As lie stood there stunned and unable to fully comprehend the situation, Olive’s full rich voice floated up to him.

“ O il,m y Tovcl I low tl her so,My love I lovetl lon g years ago,"

Soft, yet clear and distinct each word came to him, burdened with an an­guish none but a woman, mistress of her art, could express.

As he listened, the picture of his wife’s pathetic face rose up before him, and her Strange coldness was explain­ed. Eool that lie had been not to see the jealousy she had so skillfully tried to conceal, and with the thought his heart ached at the remembrance of many t.rival things (to him) that must have caused lier pain, done all unwit­tingly on his part.

lie started as one from a sleep, and hurried to the parlor. Handing Olive the letter, he exclaimed:

“Miss Duane, what does this mean! Alice is gone, and I liavo found this in her room.”

She read the scrap first (crimsoning the while) and in much confusion re­plied:

“This is a bit of a letter from the gentleman to whom I am engaged, l ie is now with an invalid cousin, and this is part of the reply to One of my letters, in which I teased him in regard to his devotion to her. In opening the euvelope I tore the letter and must have dropped this piece. ,1 did not tell Alice my secret, intending to sur­prise her with -an invitation to my wedding, but this has betrayed me.”

She ended with a merry little laugh that quickly died upon her lips when she noticed Robert’s grave pale face.. “ Unfortunately it has done worse,”

he sadly answers. “Your Roberts’ writing bears a close resemblance to my own; read Alice’s note, and see how cruelly the poor child has mis­judged us.”

She dirt so, and sprang to her feet, white and trembling.

“How could she think such a thiug of me!” she angrily exclaimed.

A groan was the only answer, and seeing the distress on Robert’s face, her anger disappeared, and anxiety for her friend took its place.

“She cannot have gone far, and per­haps some of the servants can tell which way she went."

She quickly summoned them, but none had seen their mistress leave the grounds. Robert and Olive hurried to the station, and there better success awaited them. They soon learned that

- she had boarded a train going to the citv.

The next train bore them in the same direction; hut arriving there, all trace of her was lost; none of the depot officials remembered seeing any one answering the description.

After hours of maddening suspense, they found her lying white and still at tiie hospital. Robert’s heart sank with­in him when he looked down upon the white face, as rigid and set as in death. Scarcely a breath fluttered over the wan lips, and the golden hair was dabbed with blood over the bandage that * concealed tho cruel gash in her temple.

‘•Would she live?” agonizingly he asked the grave physicians in attend­ance, and broke down utterly when he received no response.- Olive tried to soothe him as best she could, but the sight o f her friend’s face, so like unto death, completely* unnerved her, and- she was led almost fainting from the room. ■ . .

A ll through.the night A lice'layin that death-like trance; .only the feebly fluttering heart betraying that life 'still lingered. ■ « ;

A ll through the weary hours the- physicians remained rhy her bedside, and Robert paced silelitly to and fro.

With the first gray gleams of coming day a faint color struggled' into her wan face and the doctorsJJexchanged more, hopeful glances. Robert saw this and quick to interpret their mean­ing, sent tip a glad 'thanksgiving from his grateful heart. J

Days passed, id .which hope and de­spair struggled-tin turn for mastery,

and at last Alj,ce awoke to conciousness to find Robert and Olive, pale and hag­gard with watching by her bedside. She looked around her in amazement, and her eyes, resting for one moment on their careworn faces she turned from them, her eyes brimmed witli tears, and her lips trembled pathetical­ly. Robert clasped her to his heart, and in almost incoherent words poured out an explanation.

Alice beckoned Olive to her and feebly craved her pardon, and Olive generously silenced the contrite words with kisses.

It was months eve Alice recovered sufficient to attend Olive’s wedding, looking very pale and childlike, as she reached up to kiss the bride—looking so gloriously beautiful in her bridal robes—after the ceremony.

Robert Young has never allowed anything to come between himself and wife—'hot even his beloved music— since he came so near losing her.— Farmer and Manufacturer.

Backwardness of the Spring Boom.“Is your spring boom about over

here ?” asked a stranger of a man stand­ing on the depot platform in a Dakota town.

“ W-e-l-1,” answered the native, doubt­fully, “I dunno, it depends»on how you look at it.”

“ IIow’s that?”“W ’y, we’re boomin’ just as hard as

ever, hut the outside capitalists ’pear to be gettin’ sorter tired. There ain’ t much money in that kind o’ boomin’, you know.”

“ What are you people doing?”“Oh, we’re just boomin’, that’s all,

just simply boomin’. Yesterday we organized two new railroad companies and another board o’ trade, an’ incor­porated a company for manufacturing balloons an’ another For rnakin’ paper collars, bnt’s I said there aint no money in it.”

“The kind that pays is about over then V*’

“Well, I reckon so, for this summer. We can plant more additions farther out any time there seems to be a call for ’em, but things are so thunderin’ quiet in some that are already laid out that we haven’t the heart to do it There’s a good crop o’ wheat growiu’ on Central addition, an’ a powerful fine outlook for corn in the public park an’ on Court-house square, while the men who are farmin’ tlie college grounds an’ Custom House Block are kickin’ ’ cause they are so far from market. I reckon we’ll have to lay kind o’ low till next spring an’ then discover iron ore over in that hill.”—Dakota Bell. ■

------------Use of tlie Cent.

Eor some years many of the promi­nent Southern cities have been trying to bring cents into circulation, and des­perate indeed have been the efforts to accomplish this. Several houses have declared in favor of cents, to find their introduction far more difficult than was imagined. One publisher import­ed barrels of the coins and put them forth, only to find out that they return­ed in a very short time. The idea of carrying the measure through by one grand movement, all acting together, failed. The* people were not acquaint­ed with cents and refused them; and many dealers, particularly the small ones, with whom cents would have come into play and who would be most benefilted by their circulation, held back. But although these spasmodic efforts failed, tlie end sought for is being slowly but surely accomplished. The cent, which could not bo forced Suddenly on the community, is grow­ing into favor. A lai-ge. number of houses are now willing to accept it and make their change accordingly, and the public is beginning to recognize that the cent is of some value after all. Strange to say, as at the beginning of this movement, the small dealers still hold hack. Coppers will be taken in payment by almost any large dry goods house, but the candy or banana peddler on the corner opposite is very much afraid of the copper currency.

Fighting a Sword Fish.The schooner Hattie Allen, of Fall

River, went a sword fishing Monday. Ten miles southeast of Brenton’s Reef lightship the crew struck a very lively fish, which came near ending the fish­ing career of one of their number. W ien this fish was struck he ran an hour with 40 fathoms of line and a large keg. A man in a rowboat was following his swordship, and when the fish stopped the man began hauling in the line, thinking tlie fish dead. But instead the fish was very much alive, for it started from the bottom, and coming to the surface with a rush, struck its sword up through the bottom: of tlie boat and stove it in. The boat wes nearly capsized by the shock, and the sailor had a narrow escape from being.impaled on the sword. Seeing, however, that the fish had obligingly come to him, he decided to keep it there, and accordingly tossed a half hitch about the sword sticking through the bottom of the boat, and held the fish until the schooner bore down upon him and picked him up. The schooner came into Newport, and the fish was sent to Fall River yesterday morning. It Weighed 250 pounds.

------— » «•-------------Once an Apache, Always an Apache.

It does as much good to educate an Apache as to put a wooden Indian through a course of higher mathemat­ics. It appears that the leader of the present raid is a young copper-colored dude, known as “ The Kid.” He al­ways graduated at the head of his class at the Carlisle (Fa.) barracks In­dian school, where his young idea was taught to shoot so accurately that he can hit a white man now nine times ̂out of ten at 100 yards. Striped with* war paint, two eagle feathers rising from his intellectual cranium, and his diploma and a half dozen scalps at­tached to Ins suspender belt, lie pre­sents a gorgeous illustration of philan­thropy and civilization as applied to the noble red man. A leopard can be more readily persuaded to change its spots than an Apache to swear off per­manently from going on the war path, drinking whisky and murdering wo­men and children. What is needed for the regeneration of the race is fewer schools and more penal institutions — E l Paso (Tex.) Inter-Republic.

The Year of Jubilee.Among the Jews the fiftieth year

was a very important one. Moses had laid it down as a divine command that after forty-nine years the land was not to be sown or reaped, debts Which could not be paid owing to poverty were to be canceled, slaves were to he set free, and the" land was to be restor­ed to its original holders. The fiftieth

'year was to be hallowed, and the lib­erty proclaimed throughout the land to the inhabitants. The name jubilee arose from the fact that the year was announced at the close of harvest by a blast oil a ram’s horn or zohel. This great holiday Was never strictly held, and fell at last into disuse.

ish thing in this financial magazine; it is headed ‘How to Tell Counterfeit Money.’ How can you tell money any­thing ?*’ “0, moonstruck one," exclaim­ed the itiot. “don’t yon know that mon­ey talks ? The language is full o f mon­etary quotations.” “Yes, driveler,” re­plied tlie lunatic, “ i t talks, because you can utter a counterfeit, but how can it hear?” “ With its cash ears,” replied the silly one, “Don’t you ever hear the Government call in its bonds; Times are ever dull when money is quiet." “Money is a power in politics,

- then ?” asked the lunatic, getting ready to howl. “ O, yes, all politicians talk for money.” “Then.” said the moon­struck, “how is good money distinguish­ed?” “It is known as other politicians,” replied the idiot, “by the ring it goes with.” O, he grateful, children, that heaven has spared your reason and that you do not go about talking like the poor idiots who live in asylums and have no vote.

----------- *■----------------A Poisoned Lake.

The recent report of the poisoning of the -waters of the Dawho Lake, Georgetown county, by a hail storm proves to be true. A dense mass of black gum trees surround the lake on all sides. It is well known that the leaves of these trees are strongly im­pregnated with tanic acid. It has also been ascertained that the bottom of the lake contains a slight deposit of iron. The poisoning of the water, therefore, is thus explained: The hail storm filled the lake witli* bruised leaves and small branches from the trees, the tanic acid emanating from which mingled with the iron and form­ed tannate of iron, causing the water to turn black as ink and bitter as qui­nine and poisoning the fish by thous­ands. One species of the fish inhabit­ing this lake survived the singular dis­aster, and that was the mud fish, which buried itself in the mud at the bottom, and thus escaped the effects o f the poi­son.

---------------Tlie Jew s o f Russia.

There are three millions of Jews in tlie southern and western sections of Russia. They are most numerous in Lithuania and White Russia. They prefer to live in villages or towns that are not seats of government, and in Wilna they form ninety-two per cent, of the population. They purchase or lease large areas of land. These lands they do not cultivate themselves, hut sublet them in small lots to the peas­ants. Their profiis as middlemen have hitherto been very large. In Bessara­bia they have obtained long leases of agricultural land belonging to some foreign convents -which they have sub­let at high rates. In Podolia almost all the large estates situated in the basins of the afllueuis of the Dalester, are held by Jews at long terms. The soil is exhausted after five or ten years’ cropping, and within the last decade there has been a fall of thirty per cent, in the value of landed property.

Great Sport of a Mail King.Peasant shooting is the favorite

amusement of the mad King Otto of Bavaria. But no peasants are killed, although Ills Majesty fancies he has brought down several. The way they manage the royal sport is very simple. A fine hunting rifle is handed to tlie King, and lie immediately pests him­self in one of the windows of his cas­tle. Tlie rifle is loaded with a blank cartridge. A man is hired to post him­self in a thicket, and to emerge from it at a given signal. Immediately on his appearance a royal bead is drawn on him. The King fires; tlie man falls, and the servants put him upon a stretcher and carry him off. while his Majesty rubs his hands in delight. Tlie peasant* receives his pay and puts in his application for another job. It is a fine tiling to have a crazy King.

A Deserted Tillage.The best example of a deserted vil­

lage at present known on the Pacific coast is Houston, Idaho, Three years ago it contained over 500 inhabitants; now there are all told nine persons in the place. The town has a fresh and bright look. There is a handsome ho­tel on the main street; a big smelter is seen; there is a large brewery; and all along the principal street stand neat stores with fresh-looking signs, but tlie people are gone and all is silent. A newspaper outfit was brought in and is there yet. The town collapsed before a paper was issued and the own­ers of the material seem to have never since had money enough to pay the freight out. The town sprang up on the strength of a big copper prospect; tlie copper “petered” ancl tlie people skedaddled, many of them leaving be­hind furniture and all else except cloth­ing and some light and valuable goods. —Virginia Enterprise.

------------ -s-o«------------Hours of Fate.

In the period between midnight an d six in the morning the animal vital processes are at their lowest ebb. It is at these times that those who are en­feebled from any cause most frequent­ly die. Physicians often consider these hours as critical, and forwarn anxious friends in respect to them. From time immemorial those who have been accustomed to wait and at­tend on the sick have noted the hours most anxiously, so that they have been called by our old writers “ the hours of fate.” In this space of time the influ­ence of the life-giving sun has been longest withdrawn from man, and the hearts that are even tlie strongest beat with subdued tone. Sleep is heaviest and death is nearest to us all in “ the" hours of fate.”

She Knew tlie Signs.I know a lady who never dreams o f

judging her husband by his talk. That is hot to be relied upon, hut she knows all his moods by what he does and how he behaves. How, tlie other day he bought a piece of property, and she was telling a lady friend.

"He bought it without looking at it, don’t you know ?”

“That’s not very business-like.”“You don’t know my husband. He

was all right.”“How much did he give for it?”“ I don’t know; but he went up and

looked at it and I k n ow 'll was a bar­gain,”

“H he didn’ t tell you, how do you know?”

“How’s this, John? You said you intended to propose to Miss Gushing- ton this evening, and here you are back before 9 o’clock. She surely didn’t refuse you ?”

“Ho-o. I didn’t propose. I conclud­ed to postpone the question.”

Farming does pay the country, the merchant and the carrier, but whether it pays the individual farmer in every case is best answered by the man’s farm, farming and mode of living.— Rural Messengei-.

Those having spots about the house so shady that grass will not grow may rely upon the hardy ferns for embellish­ing here. Wild ferns abound in all parts of the country in woods and waste places, and can usually be had for the digging. Even if one is obliged to de­pend upon the nurseries, there can be nothing serious in the ease, for the best kinds are low-priced, and they slip ancbgiow readily.

In using, keep the mixture well stirred. It can be ap­plied to the foliage with a wliisk broom. The tieatment should he "com­menced soon after the foliage is well out, and be repeated so as to protect the later foliage. The quantities of the substances can be changed while preserving the proportions.

Many of the papers are discussing tlie huckleberry plantation at the Michigan Agricultural College. We have seen some wonderful reports of its success. Prof. Baily informs us that it was only set this spring and nothing definite can be said about it yet. Experiments with the huckle­berry are eagerly called for. This fruit ranks with the strawberry in im­portance in many parts of the country. I f this fruit could be enlarged and im­proved as other fruits have been, there would be a great “ boom” in its culture.

.The managers of Bellevue Park, a - Pittsburg, recently bought seven fine deer in Michigan and had them ship­ped to the park, where a nice big yard and a seven-foot fence was waiting them. The boxes were placed in the yard and opened and the animals came out one by one. Then the biggest deer turned lier large dreamy eyes toward the seven-foot fence, and in a moment made for It, followed by the other six. Those who were present were Willing to swear that that dreamy-eyed animal leaped twenty-five feet high over the fence if she cleared it at.all, and she certainly cleared it, as did the other six. A reward is now offered for the Michigan jumpers.

The Michigan W heat Crop.L a n s in g , Mich., J uly S.— The secre­

tary o f state to-day furnishes the fol­lowing statement of acreage and yield o f wheat at the time the supervisors took the assessment last spring: Area in wheat In the southern counties was 1.414,820 aerbs; in the central counties 203,719 acres, and in the northern, counties, 34,984 acres. Correspondents estimate the yield per acre In the southern counties at IS bushels, in the central counties at 15 bushels, and in northern counties at l-lJI bushels. I f these estimates prove substantially accurate, the total yield in the state will be about 21,800.000 bushels. In estimating the yield the correspondents have undoubtedly used their best judg­ment, yet the condition o f the crop at the lime of harvest was such that reli­able estimates were impossible. -It is believed that thrashing- alone can furnish the correct statement o f the yield per acre. A large percentage of the crop, particularly in southern counties, was flattened to the groumj, the result of injury by the Hessian fly.

organ, republishes an editorial from the Public Leader, the liquor dealers’ organ, violently assailing the republi­cans o f the legislature for passing the local option law, hut merrily predict­ing that the “ thjrd party” will stand firm in spite of all that the republicans have donefor temperance. The Leader says the local option law “ is a severe blow to the trade;” also that the pro­hibitionists will continue to “ knife re­publican candidates," etc. The Center republishes over half a column of the liquor dealers’ organ’s comments, and by doing so gives itself away very cheaply.

A Jackson man owns the highest kicking mule in the state. He meas­ures 12 feet from tip to tip (.estimated) and has been known to split aboard in the ceiling of liis stable at a bight o f 13 feet. Ilis favorite amusement is to kick apples out of the trees in the orchard, and he always hits the one he is after. He has a penchant for reilapples and helps himself to that variety exclusively as long as the sup­ply holds out. He frequently allows his heels to go so high as to overbal­ance himself, but, like a well-regulated cat, he lands upon his feet every time. —Detroit News.

Mrs. Win. Winters, "of Lansing had an attack of the horrors the other day from which she has not yet fairly i e- covered. Iler child, a babe just old enough to talk and run about, called to her to “ come and see what a great big currant worm!” She went, and was horrified to find her little one toying with a venomous spotted adder which was coiled upon the counterpane of an up stairs bed. The mother was so overcome with fright that she barely retained strength to rescue the child, and has since experienced an appreci­ation of snake yarns beyond anything she had ever anticipated.

Yesterday in the woods on the road between Pere Cheney and Fletcher the remains o f a human being were found, partially devoured and wholly unrecog­nizable. An inquest was of course held, but itbroughf out nothing beyond that the deceased was a m.an, that he belonged to the laboring class, that his death had been caused by llie hem­orrhage resulting from deep wounds, that he had been dead several days aud that the jury gave it up for a bad job. While a verdict was being render­ed in accordance with tliGSe facts a young man named Davis, who ha.d been drawn by curiosity to pay a second Visit to the spot whore the corpse was found, dashed among the jurors, with badly tattered .clothing, a bloody club and a solution of the mystery. The -jinknown party had been kijled by field rats. The young man-had himself been attacked by them, and bad had to fight for his life. When he approached the fatal spot he said the vicious little creatures sprang upon him at all sides, and although he killed many of them it seemed opjy to whet the courage o f the survivors, He was obliged to make a ran for it, and had been followed almost to the inquest, some of his assailants clinging to him and biting him cruelly,' The gentlemen returned with him, and sur­prised the surviving rats in the act o f carrying away and concealing the bodies of their defunct brethren.^—D£- troit News.

U nd er date July 0, the Chicago Daily Yews published the following from Denver regarding the death o f John A. AYitter, mentioned in these columns last week:

John A. AYitter, president of the Perclieron-Yorman Horse company, one of the most prominent citizens o f the state, died Sunday of catarrh o f the stomach, it was said. To-day the refusal o f the attending physician to give a death certificate caused a sensa­tion. It is now charged that Mr. AYit­ter was poisoned with arsenic, and sus­picion rests on his wife.

Mr. and Mrs. AYitter were married, at South Bendlnd., eighteen years ago, hut, on account of Mrs. AYitter’s ex­treme jealousy, they had frequent quarrels, and for two years past, while living in the same house, had not beea friends. On the day before he died Mr. AYitter was removed from his home to the house of a neighbor. Mrs. AYitter’s jealousy was caused by her husband’s fondness for his niece, Mrs. O. A . Hatton, nee Hattie AYitter, daughter of Daniel AYitter. Mrs. Hat­ton was not li ving with her husband.

In this attachment friends say there was nothing Wrong. Mi-. Witter sought his niece’s'-Company because it was pleasant to him. He took her to entertainments, to the theater, and! took her riding, hut nothing, that he did was other than what a loving rela­tive might do. A month or six weeks ago Mrs. Hatton left for Europe with lier sister, Mrs. E. L. Rollins. At this time John AYitter was already sick, but had not taken to his bed. One report says that he paid Ills niece’s expenses to Europe and that he was expecting to go to Europe this month. The con­tents of Mr. AYitter’s stomach has been, given to a chemist for analysis, and i f arsenic is discovered the coroner will hold an inpuest.

Mrs. Witter has been well known- all her life by residents of Portage Prairie and South Bend, and no one who has ever known her will ever be­lieve her guilty of any such crime as- this dispatch hints at.

A later dispatch states that the chemist had found arsenic in the med­icine. food, liver, and intestines, and that death had been caused by admin­istering poison with criminal intent. Should it prove true that she has kill­ed him, it will be consibered by all who know of his actions to be a case of -justifiable homicide, if such a thing be possible. Had she done by hini as he has by her, her life would have paid the penalty years ago. Her father, Mr. Isaac Marble, left this place Friday morning for Denver.

.G A L IE N ITEMS.The annual school meeting occurred

on Monday evening. Dr.' Bowers and D. AY. Swcm were made members of lie School Board-, vice H. S. Cone and

As we write this we have before ns the articles o f association of the Indi­ana & Lake Michigan Railway, a road to connect us with St. .Joseph, Michi­gan, via Buchanan and possibly Ber­rien Springs. Among the incorpora­tors are weil-known railroad men and parties o f eminent business ability. W enotiee among the incorporators tbe name o f John Ililing, Lawton, M ich.; J. R. Zearing and O. L. Spalding of Chicago; J. T. Salter, Yew York. Among the local subscribers are Messrs, L. G. Tong,' Jacob AYolverton, AY. L. Kizer, George AY- Matthews, Leighton Pine, J .B . Birdsell, AYilliam Miller and Lucius Clark. A . S.Dyckman, of'South Haven, Mich,, is one o f the incorpora­tors. For three months this project has been worked up by its originators and very quietly has tbe work been, done. The company is incorporated under the laws o f Indiana and only asks that the right o f way through our city he given it. Michigan towns along this line are wide awake as to the importance o f the enterprise and considerable money has been subscrib­ed. There have been G,000 cars guar­anteed to them for the first year’s business from our city. The road will be built by July 1, ISSS, and those push­ing the movement are in dead earnest in the move. AYe wish them - every success in their effort to give us a di­rect northern outlet to the great lakes* —South Bend Times.

Shilladay, by F. Y . Bonine, the tym­panic membrane (drum) was found to be completely ruptured, resulting from the concussion caused by tbe discharge of a pistol in such close proximity to the ear, by John Dooling. It is, how­ever, healing and he is likely to hear as usual.

------------ -------------------I n tbe case of Henry Blodget, who

•died recently at Buchanan, there was a difference o f opinion before his death as to what ailed him. On the part of many physicians who saw him all agreed that he had cancer of the stom­ach, except one man from 2s iles, who claimed that it was nothing but a case of simple ulceration of tlie stomach, and promised a cure in two weeks, but before the two weeks expired Mr. B. died, and a postmortem examination revealed the fact that it was a Clear case of malignant cancer. A portion of the stomach was examined under a microscope here and at Ann Arbor, and preparations of it showing cancer cells can be seen under a microscope at our oflice, if any o f his friends wish to satisfy themselves on that point.

Bend to this place___A young coupleof good standing living in Chicago came over last Sunday to spend the Fourth and looking for accommoda­tions found only one room in any of the hotels to be had. The predicament was overcome by the couple going to the Methodist parsonage and being ms.de one, and thus the hotel accom­modation was made sufficient and the couple celebrated. . . -Rev, G. L. Cole Wats highly complimented on Monday night or Tuesday morning last. Three bricks, hearing the following inscrip­tions were left against the door: Yo.1, “Brickbats to-morrow night” ; Yo.2, “Dynamite AYednesday” ; Yo. 3, “Haddock was murdered at Sioux City”. Can anyone doubt, after read­ing the above, as to tbe source from which they emenated? Mr. Cole has entered a vigorous protest against the saloons opening their doors on Sunday and the Fourth of July, and tlie above is an effort to intimidate and deter prosecution, but wo are confident that they have struck the wrong man. If Michigan must have a jnartyr before tbe people will be aroused to the enor­mity of the drink fiend, they will find in Mr. Cole the material of which mar­tyrs are made. But would it not be well for the saloonists to ponder a lit­tle before taking such a rash step or before makingsuch murderous.threats ? They might learn a wholesome lesson from Sioux City itself. Haddock was but one man, but when he fell a thou­sand arose to take his place and the saloons were banished forever from the city and state. It seems to he vic­tory at a fearful cost, but then it is so speedy and so complete that one might almost covet thus to fall.

Tw o parties claiming respectively to be a banker and a judge of probate are going about among farmers in this vicinity making unreasonably large offers for farms. They yesterday Visit­ed Mr. Dixon on the Buchanan road . also Mr. Storms. What the game is exactly no one seems' to know, but farmers in the Vicinity o f Yiles are rather tod well posted to be taken in a great deal, though it is well to loose a few savage ball dogs when “specula­tors’’ are abroad in the land, and to re­frain in any event from signing papers unless drawn up by a reputable attor­ney.—Niles Herald.

June 30,1S43, just forty-four years ago, the first newspaper was printed in Hillsdale, the “Hillsdale Gazette.” The first number of the paper was printed under the rays of the sun, with the press standing on the railroad track, the rough hoard building under con­struction for its use not bqing quite ready. H. B. Rowison then started in as “devil” in the oflice, four years later became part owner, and has been at the head of it ever since, now changed in name to the “Standard." And a clean, solid, sensible, square-built paper it has always been.

L IF E ET TH E SADDLE. :SOMETHING ABOUT TH E WAY

PEOPLE RIDE.

H orseb a ck K xoretso A lm o s t tv T h in g Ml lltu V ast iu tlio F u st nm l -South, 'W hile I t is- S till T o ry C om m on in th o South uiul WcsttIE y o u are m i eastern m an y ou w ill be sur­

prised, should y o n m ako a trip west o r south, b y the num ber o f men and. vromen y ou will see on horseback. I f y ou reside south or west, an d y ou travel north o r east, y ou wLl ho struck b y the fa ct that fe w people are to buseen iu the saddle.

And: w hen y ou bavo taken note o f the fa cts y o u w ill ask “ W hy ?”

Tho answer to your short question is a com­plex one.

QUITE ENGLISH. YOU KNOW.In the east tlio country roads aro every­

where fitted for the light buggv. One can drive to town or to church and run less chance o f spoiling his Sunday clothes than if he id le. The voting lover can sit close be­side his sweetheart in a buggy, and he can’t i f they go horseback. There is much more enthusiasm over trotting matches than run­ning races iu the cast, and horses are, there­fore, bred for their driving and not their run­ning qualities. Those who want tho exerciso o f riding say that the bicycle is a better steed than the horse—that ho is safer; doesn’ t cost so much and doesn’ t eat anything.

In the west mid sout It there are many bridle paths where one could not drive in a buggy. Running is the favorite method o f speeding horses. The bicycle is still something o f a novelty.

But there is some horseback ridiug east, and there aro plenty o f buggies south and west. A nd while riding is perhaps slowly but none tbo less certainly decreasing west and south, it -is as surely coming into favor again in the east.

But it is only tho well to do—in tho cities, the wealthy—who can afford horseback exor­cise east. A poor man in nneastern city who would keep a liovso solely for saddle nso would bo bothered to find tlio wliei-ewith: to payliis butcher mid his baker and in-: gas man. And i f ho keep a horso for busii purposes ho will drive bint, o f course, and a liorso that is steadily driven is unfit to be ridden.

“It’s English to ride,” however,, and so all swelldom, in tho cities rides. Hunt clubs are organized, and tame foxes aro chased with hounds and horses. A n eastern fo x hunt isn’ t at all like a similar diversion in less com­mercial and less materially wealthy regions; though. There’s never more than ono fox , and it’s a foregone conclusion that he w ill bo canght; that is, providing he can bo got to run; for tho foxes that aro chased in the east are pampered animals that aro kept and fed fo r months previous to the “meet.”

n r Tin!! p a r k .The great fad among eastern swells who

ride nowadays is tho English method. I t in­volves the rising in tho saddle o f the rider at every step o f tho horse. A nd i f tho rider can “ show daylight” between himself and the horse he is considered “ quite English.” Whether tho “ English” rider is as graceful os his western brother is a question. Ant' the ahglomaniacs o f New Y ork and Bosto have noted with alarm that just as they have learned to spring upon their toes at just the proper moment tho Prince o f Wales and his royal mother, and o f course all the toadies o f England, have fallen to admiring the western style o f riding close to the horse practiced by Buffalo Bill and his W ild W est troupe.~ B atw o shouldn’ t cavil at horseback riding, no matte'r'vdiy the rider rides, for it’s a glo­rious exercise, and there’s no prettier picture in the world than a young gallant, mid his “fairo ladyo” out riding “in the park,” that is. i f they know how to ride.

o f hard working and healthy Americans. B o m on a farm and receiving only a com­m on school, education, ho early acquired a wide knowledge o f Maine men and affairs, and developed great acuteness in business. H e began as a merchant in his native town and advanced rapidly in the- acquisition of property till he owned: stock in several rail­roads and manufacturing concerns, and was still active in, basinet tilt a short timo before his death.

H e began his political life as a Democrat o f the Jackson-Benton, school, a believer in bard money, revenue tariff and decentralization.- He lived to become.' an ardent Republican, and tho history o f his change is like that of m any thousand others—an epitome o f the wonderful social and political revolutions from 1850 to-1870. A fter serving one term as sheriff and two in the legislature as a Demo­crat, he took radicol ground for prohibition, and in 1853 ran fo r governor on that-ticket, receiving but ll,027 votes- The next year he

ran again, receiving 4-1,1555 votes, anil sis there was no c h o ic e :t h o polls the legislature chose him for governor, and ho served one year. Iu 1S55 ho was again a candidate, receiving 51,441 votes; but a combination in the legis­lature choso Samuel Wells. lit 1850-ho took UYcrypromluent part ill organizing the R e­publican party, which was victorious at every election thereafter till 1S.7S, Gov­ernor Morrill threw himself into tho anti- slavery figlitwith enthusiasm, andiu 1SG0 was elected to cougress, in which ho served but olio term, but that was in tho memornblo war congress o f 1SCI-68, and lie took avery active part iu devising.tho fiscal policy o f tho gov­ernment. He was among tho firmest de­fenders o f tho greenback act o f Feb. 25,1S62, and made a special tour and campaign in Maine to secure popular support fo r tho lieu- currency. He declined a re-election, how­ever, and thereafter devoted himself to his privuto business, except that in 1SS1 ho was chosen from Augusta to tho legislature, in which, though 78 yearn old, h o served with tho fire and energy o f youth. For many years ho had been a resident o f Augusta, mu! maintained his activity till his final ilk.ess.

A NOTED MAN IN MAINE.

Hon. Bion Bradbury, tho leader-of tho Democratic party iu Maine, died at his homo in Portland a feu- days ago. And regardless of party, there is a general recognition iu Maino that mi honest, earnest, consistent and very useful citizen is gone. Mr. Bradbury had been prominent in the business and po­litical life of his state fo r forty years, had hold various positions c f political honor and public trust, and bad worked iiidefatigably for the success o f bis party. His ancestry on both sides was of old and Uonorablo N o w E n g l a n d stock, and ho in­herited their best qualities in full vigor. His father,Jeremiah B >- a d- bury, hold the of­fice o f collector of tho port at Bath, lie ., under Presi­dent Madison, and his mother boasted descent from old colonial mid revo- b io x b r a b b u k y . lutionary families. Bion Bradbury was born at Biddcford, Me., Dec. C, 1S11, graduated at Boivdoiu college in 1830, and was admitted to the practice o f law at Alfred, Y ork county, in 1834. In 1842 bo was a mem­ber o f the legislature, and in 1S44 was appointed collector o f the port at Eastport, which office ho held for ten years. There­after he was member o f the legislature and delegate to state an d ‘ national conventions till tho war. Iu 1862 he ran for the legisla­ture as a W ar Democrat and was elected without opposition. He was at various times candidate for governor and congress, but tho Republican majority prevailed against him. From 1SGG to 1SS0 he was almost a dictator in Democratic councils In Maine. Ho generally wrote the platforms, and in one instance the convention adopted his speech as a platform. But his most famous work was in 1S7S-79, when lio reorganized the divided Democracy 'of Maine, and though, their vote for governor was divided, under his management they se­cured the legislature in 1S79, and that body chose Alonzo Garcelon as governor. In 1SS0 he succeeded in combining the Greenback and Democratic strength ill favor o f Gen. Hollis M. Plaisted, who was chosen governor. He continued active till tho close o f 1SS2, then retired from politics and soon after from bus­iness. Ho failed rapidly thereafter and died o f general weakness at the age o f 76.

IN A VERY BAD WAY.

The officials o f tlio city o f New Y ork seem to bo waking up to the necessity o f doing something about the city’s water front, though no course o f action has as yet been adopted. The rapidly increasing value o f wharf property in Brooklyn and Jersey City has been one cause for this reviving inter­est.' In Brooklyn the valuation has in­creased to the amount o f $30,000,000 within tho past ten years, aud in Jersey City and Hoboken the increase has been about $10,- 000,000. I t is said fifty-four steamers each month go to Brooklyn for wharf facilities’ that they cannot get in New York, and many o f the ocean steamers now land at the Jersey C ity side o f North river. The Pennsylvania railroad company have recently bought a new ferry privilege at Bergen Point. Should they build a breakwater they could have a harbor for 1,000 ships, and New Y ork ’s water front would receive another blow. These things have brought about consideration o f its water front by tho people o f New York.

To make the wharves o f New York secure, useful and fu lly in keeping with tho commer­cial prominence o f the city, the only feasible method seems to be that tbo city take control o f the entire front. A t present the city owns only one-third o f this property, and even that has not been kept in good order. Three million dollars appropriated fo r the present year m ay be expended in securing private rights. Thirty million dollars bos been named os the amount necessary to put tho front in proper shape. New Yorkers argue that when all tlio shipping o f importance that gees tc

Brooklyn and Jer­sey City really want New Y ork landings it is most unwise to

__ allow tlnsshipping to drift to theso places.

' And Now Y ork has JACKSON s t r e e t d o ck , a harbor which; i f

n e w York ; properly improved, could accommodate all the shipping o f tho world.

Alm ost in tho shadow o f Brooklyn bridge aro several striking examples o f water front properties that could bo im proved and made magnificent piers. The Jackson street dock is one o f these—a. w eaving, rickety combina­tion o f rotten timbers nnd plank—with totter­ing posts and a thousand patches about it . I t has long been condemned, but still stands, though used on ly by garbage scow3. “ A dilapidated wagon, stood upon it the other day,” says a Now Y ork w riter, “ and the planks were strewn w ith m oldy rags spread ou t to dry. A scow filled w ith sweltering garbage la y near the shore, and some men were busy at w ork sifting coal elevated from barges below . A crow d o f gamins, nude as A dam before the fig loaf interval, wore diving from tint shaky fram ework, most o f them clnm bering upon tho w oodwork when the artist was seen m aking a sketch, evidently under the impression that their charms would add m aterially to tho effect o f his picture. In each direction were piers evidently in a con­dition little better than that o f tho one illus­trated. On shore w ere old carts, piles o f scrap iron, refuse and barrels, w ell set o ff in the background b y dilapidated buildings, an ex­cellent argum ent fo r the advocates o f c ily control o f the water fro n t”

Illustrative o f these arguments, it is cited that the New Y ork Central Railroad com­pany paysaren talof $20,000 annually fo r city piers which cost about $150,000. Great saving can bo effected to business people, ‘it is thought, i f the fron t is filled up to the bulz-

lieatfluib at all tlio piers'. AsTTes an? cellar dirt can bo disposed o f in that way, and the roadways so increased in breadth thafctruck- men will not be delayed.

No docks in tho world are to bo compared with those of London, Liverpool, Birken­head aiul Manchester, England, which cover hundreds o f acres. Liverpool has twenty graving docks, sorno of them 750 feet in length. Theso are surrouuded with substan­tial stone quays, pirovidetl with gates, aud are under police protection. These, as with nearly all other docks iu England, are sup­ported by rates levied from tho vessels resort iug to them, and fo r levying theso rates powers are taken iu tho acts o f par­liament authorizing the construction o f tho respective docks. Sometimes tho dock -lues are iuiposcd oil vessels according to tonnage, and in other instances tlio rates arq so much a ton, actually landed on tho dock.' Generally the dues are complained o f as being a heavy burden, though i t is said tlio stock companies, b y whom tho docks aro built, sel­dom realize good returns on their investments.

MANCHESTER DOCKS.so expensive havo been these improvements. Tho total quay spaco o f Liverpool is nearly twenty miles, covering all area of 260 acres, containing fifty-four docks and basins. Tho Albert dock alone cost £141,000. Tho magnifi­cent structures covering the river front there, aud, as shown by our cut, at Manchester, are so vastly superior to anything at New Y ork that it would bo supposed new world enter­prise would do something to mako the differ­

e n c e less striking. Tlio Manchester docks are o f solid masonry, and although nob so ex­tensive as those of Liverpool, are wonderfully complete and massive structures as compared with tlic best o f New York’s quays.

IN BURNSIDE’S MEMORY.

A. B ron ze Statue o f :v B rav e G en era l on H orseback .

The equestrian statue of Gen. Burnside was unveiled at Providence, 11. I., July 4, with appropriate ceremonies and. a parade of all the military organizations of the shite. Am ong tho visitors from other states Gen. Sherman was conspicuous. The statue is a worthy one—worthy of all tho enthusiasm Rhode Island could muster for the occasion, it is at once simple in design, massive and

is o f bronze, ono and a half times m e size, and stands on a pedestal o f granite sixteen foot high. Tho proportions are so truo that, though the figure o f Gen. Burnsido is nearly nine feet long, it seems iu harmony with tho immense horse, and the beholder does not at first view realize the sizo o f tho figures. Tho general is represented as upon an emi nence with his face tinned to the left, at­tentively watching tho movements o f differ­ent troops, and this idea is borne out b y the field glass in his hand. The skill o f the artist is shown in the vivid, lifelike attitude o f tho horse, which seems tremulous witli repressed action, though all tho feet rest upon the ground; the ears are pricked up and the nos­trils dilated, as i f scenting the batllo. It cost about $40,000 which was rai ed b y the state, tho city o f Providence and private dona­tions. I t is the ■ production o f Mr. Daunt Thompson, o f New Y ork city.

A n interesting fact concerning the statue is revealed b y an inspection o f Mr. Thomp­son’s method o f work. In early life a stu­dent o f medicine, ho paid especial attention to anatomy, mid when he abandoned niedi- ciue for sculpture his early training came into use. Iu the clay modeling o f the Bum- side statue the man was mounted upon the horse nude, tho anatomy o f the form being almost as well developed ns if the nude man was to be tho completed figure. Then the figure was clothed as if it was n live man, though in different order and by different means. The hat, gauntlets, boots, outer gar­ments, sash, etc., were all put oil separately. The horse Was also treated hi a similar man­ner. The horse was cast in eight sections, the man in six and the plinth in one. The sections o f the model o f the horse fo r the foundry were: The head and neck to junction o f the shoulders, the fore part to junction of the saddle, running round the saddle and fol­lowing the girth, the hind part o f the body, the tail and each o f the four legs. The1 horse is dovetailed into the plinth, so to speak, projections in tho liooTs fitting into cor­responding hollows in the plinth. The sec­tions o f the man Were the head and neck, to the junction o f the latter with the shirt col­lar; each hand to the junction o f the gaunt­lets with the coat sleeves; the body above and to junction with the sash; the lower part o f the body and legs in two sections, each section including a leg. The reins mid all flying accessories, like sword, tassels, field glasses and cases for the same, e ta , were cast In separate pieces:

Gen. Sherman was the chief figure o f in­terest in the procession, seated in a barouche, drawn b y four white horses. The Rhode Island militia was under command o f its reg­ular officers, tho Grand Arm y o f tho Repub­lic and veteran divisions under then- respect­ive officials, while the line generally was directed b y Col. Isaac M., Potter as chief marshal. O f the 10,090 men in line, 3,500 were veterans o f the war. Governor Davis opened the exercises with a brief address; Rev. Joseph J. 'Woolley, o f Pawtucket, of­fered prayer, and then Gen. Lewis Richmond, formerly o f Burnside’s staff, unveiled the statuo with a few appropriate words.

D u n ca n F . K e n n e r .Hon. Duncan F. Kenner, the noted poli­

tician o f Louisiana, died at his homo in New Orleans on the 3d instant, aged 74 years. In tho middle era o f his life he was a power in his state, and down to near the close o f life was active and influential in business. ' HoWas b om in New Orleans, liis parents being fromVirginia, read law in the offico o f Hon. John Slidell and worked in ac­tive political union with that gentle­man. A fter being a member o f several snccesive legisla­tures and president o f the constita-g tlondl conventions o f 1845 and 1852, lie took ground i n . favor o f secession ' and was a. candi­date for tho con- d u n c a n p . k e n n e r . vention o f 1861, bat was defeated b y a Union man. A fter the state seceded, however, ho was elected to the Confederate congress, in whichho w as chairman o f the important com­mittee on ways and means. Near tho close o f the war Jefferson Davis selected Mr.Kenner for a diplomatic mission to France and England; but ho went too late to accom­plish anything. A fter the war ho re­mained aloof from politics most o f the time, only appearing in ono great emergency. Ho was: a man o f crcat wealth and pn active'

prom oter o f racing and breeding .fine stock. Ho died quite unexpectedly o f a general collapse o f the vital powers.

GEN. MEADE’S STATUE.

T lic I fz ro o f G ettysburg to lie H on ored in B ronze.

Tlie hero of Gettysburg is soon to have a bronze equestrian statue, which will bo the- largest of tlio kind in this eount-y, mil] will stand in Fan-mount park, near Pliiiml ipliia. W o present a view thostatue as it appeared supported by scaffolding just after casting. It is tho work of Alexander M. Calder, tho artist who has charge of the decora­tive work of tho Philadelphia city hail,

mid from his models the molding u a : done on tho 20tli c f February and tho casting a f w days ago by tho Henry Bonnard Bronze company, o f Now York. I ; is classed as c f heroic size, but might well be called colossal, as it is' twelve R ot in height and tlic Uorso is eleven feet long. The casting was an event of rare interest. Three ski Iful men worked three months in preparing the molds from the artist’s models; then 7,500 ponnds of bronze were melted, and poure 1 in from large crucibles in seven minutes. This must bo done quickly or the cooling Will bo irregular. As tho metal loses some weight ill tho process, tho completed statue weighs hut a little over 7,000 pounds; it is apparent, therefore, that many portions of tho shell are thin—that is, a core of sand within tho modeled mold re­duced the thickness of the bronze. Tho suc­cess Of the completed casting is quito a notable event among molders.

The statue when mounted on its granite base, which is rectangular and five feet higu, will be very impressive. Tho general is in tue attitudo of acknowledging a salute. Ho has reined back his horse aud holds in his rigui hand, hanging at his side, his fatigue cap and gloves. His uncovered head is beautifully and faithfully outlined. Tho fore feet o f the homo are planted together, and a sngui lowering of tho hind feet gives the effect Of spirited action. The co t o f tho entire statue is $25,000. _____________________

Tho death o f Christian E. Detmold, who was the superintending architect aud engineer o f the Now Y ork Crystal Palace, has brought out reminiscences o f that great enterprise. Mr. Detmold established himself in Now York when quito a young man. He was a native o f Hanover, Germany. Although he almost at once established an excellent reputation as a civil engineer; his first great work, and the one which brought him into prominence- everywhere, was in connection with the American exposition.

This enterprise was conceived, no doubt, through the large number o f Americans who attended the Crystal Falace exposition in England, Mr. Detmold took a prominent

part hi all tbo agltii ion which preceded put­ting tlio idea of the American, exposition iu operation, and to him was dpo abOut all tho- success tho ill'’fated venture attained. After tlio collapso o f the exposition Mr. Detmold went to Europe; and Inter lnado his residence in Paris,

Although tho American Crystal P.daco exposition was the cnu. o a t the lime Of re­markable agitation ai-1 discussion of tho question in many Ways by all tlio' American noiyspapors, it is a singular fact that very little data is now obtainable about the.enter­prise. In securing a picture o f tlie Crystal Palace, almost evoiy source for obtaining it was exhausted, and when a i mail book by tho architects of tho bui’ ling was obtained, which contains a cut of. the palace, tbo libra­rian. o f tho New Y o rk ' Mercantile library, where it was secured, asked- that great care be exercised in handling tboibook, and that it bo returned promptly, ns it was considered valuablo.

THE CRYSTAL l’ALACD.Ill January, 1852. the authorities of New

York city wanted a loaso o f Reservoir square for tho purposes of .tlio American exposition. The lease extended for fivu years, but two conditions were made, that the building Should be constructed entirely of iron and glass, aud that no single entrance fco should exceed fifty cents. In March of tho same year the legislature granted a charter for the “ Association for the exhibition of tho indus­try of all nations.” The inauguration of the palacowasoii July 14, 1853, when President Pierco delivered an address, ami the musical and other oxcrci 'C? were o f tho most elabo­rate description.

For some time the Crystal Palace was a strong attraction to visitors. Theodore Sedg­wick was the first president o f tho a-socia- tion. He resigned at the end of tho year and was succeeded by’ P. T. Bar.aun, but that gentleman's untiring efforts did not put tlic association entirely on its feet. Ono o f Mr. Barnum’s most successful moves was a re- iuangu ration in -May, 1S54. Henry W ard Beecher and Elihti Burritt were orators and the reinauguratioii was conducted witli great eclat throughout. Tlie palace became a piece of dead property, however, in 1850. On Oct. 6, lS5S,-tlio building was totally destroyed by lire. There wore several thousand people in tho palace at tho time the fire was discovered, but all escaped uninjured. Tho loss to exhib­itors was about C500;U0 >. It is supposed tbo fire was o f iiieendiarv origin.

In 1803, through Mr. Coukling’s influence, Mr, Smyth was mado supervisor of internal revenue for the northern district o f New York. Ill 1S72 he was appointed postmaster of Albany. In 1876 he was elected a member of the Repub­lican State committee, and iu 1SS2 was Chair­man of that committee.
