A Large City. IT any one ware to walk cm way through all the street of Tmwdon. he would be obliged to go a distance of two thousand six hundred miles, or aa far as it is across the American oomttneat front New York to San Francisco. This will grt aa idea of what would have to be done in order to see even the greater part of London. In oar approach to this etty, aa well as in oar rambles through its streets, we shall not be struck so much by Ha splendid and imposing appearance aa by its fmmanaity. Go where we may, there seems to be no end to the town. It is fourteen miles one way, and eight indies the other, and contains a popular - tiom of nearly four million people, which is greater, indeed, than that of Switzerland or the kingdom of Denmark and Greeee combined. We are tcld on good authority thai there are ore Scotchmen in London than in SSoifa!rrr. more Irishmen than in Dublin, and more Jows than in Palestine, w"k foreigners from all parts of the mid, including a great numbs of .iuseneaaa? Yet there are so many Ei gliahmen in London, that one i not likely to notice the presence of these people of other nations. This Taat body of citiaens, some an rich that they nerer can oount their money, and some so poor that t&a

neyer hare any to count, eat every year four hundred thousand oxen, one and a

half million sheep, eight million chickens and game birds, not to apeak of calves, hogs, and diiforent kinds of nab. They consume five hundred million oysters, which, although it seem like a large number, would only give, it equally divided among all the rjeople, one oyster every third cUty to wh person. There are tncee hundiw thousand servants in LSttdon, enough people to make a large city; but aa this gives only one) aervant to each dozen citizens, it i quite evident that a great many of the people must wait on themselves.

A Glenwood Sfbings, Col., speoial aays: Bernstun, vrho Uvea al out fonr'miles below Meeker, is just in. A battle has taken place between Kendall's men and a band of Indians. Deputy Sheriff Jack Ward is killed and several are wounded. Several Indians are reported killed, as several were seen to fall and to be carried off the field. So far as known the fight was stopped by darkness, and it is thought will certainly be resumed by daylight. The following correspondence in regard to the Indian troubles in Colorado has taken place: . Dexveb, Cot-, August 25. H. L. Mtodbow, Acting Secretary of the Interior. Colorow has signified his desire to nave a conference, and I goto Garfield County for that purpose tonight. Oar desire is to get them out ot the State peaceably, and if yon will co-operate it can be dose.

Muldhow, Acting Secretary. Washington, August 23. To the Seoretart or War: X am directed by the President to request you to send Gen. Crook to the scene of the Colorow trouble in Garfield County, Colorado, to confer with the Governor of that State and to secure ttio peaceable return of Colorow and his band to their reservation. He can take with him such interpreter and other persons supposed to be influential witbtbeee Indians, and who could aid in the purpose contemplated. (8igne J) H. L. Mdldrow, Acting Secretary. Daniel MlLiiEit has been arrested in Atlanta. He married Mrs. Martha Waters, a widow with five children, and possessing $2,000 and other property, living near Newport, 1 enn. He got possession of her money and deserted her. The British Government has notified the Department of State that the date for receiving applications for space at the Melbourne Intemationni Exhibition has been extended from the 31st of August to the 31st of October. The old Cartwright feud, which has caused so much bloodshed in Marion County, W. Va., has broken out again.

Becently John Cartwright was standing in front of the houBe of Frank Jones, where he made his home, when he was fired upon with a rifle by some unknown person. The ball struck the old man just above the heart, and he died instantly.

Thebb are fifty-three vacancies in the Wax Department to be filled by Civil Service appointment. The Commission

intends to extend the "examinations for

promotion, under which these vacancies occurred, to other departments.

At Maple Grove, Minn., tramps threw

Mrs. Hiller, 63 years, into a cistern and stole $1,520 from the house. The old lady chats to the pipe of the pump until rescued

by her sons several hours later, but may

d from the nervous shook.

Gen. Clakkf, Clerk of tie House of Bepresentives has received and had printed the testimony in eight contested election cases to be considered by the next Con

gress, as follows: Lowry vs. White, Indiana; Small vs. Elliot, South Carolina; Gainer vs. Frank, Missouri; Washington

vs. i'ost, Illinois; McUuuy vs. Uftvinson, Alabama; Carlisle vs. Thorbe, Kentucky; Sullivan vs. Felton; Lynch vs. Ban Deveer, California. The testimony in these cases make nearly ten thousand pages, that of the Sullivan-Felton cases being tbe most voluminous. Last May the residence of the venerable Dr. John Williams, near Bowling Green, Ind., was repeatedly raided by a burglar or burglars, and $190 secreted therein were

stolen. The Doctor's grandson, Ed. Williams, suddenly disappeared the night following the theft of the money, and his

wnereaDouis rem unea unKnown uncu a few days ago, when he returned and confessed his crime, but said that the instigator was William Taggart, the Doctor's son-in-law. Accordingly Taggart was arrested. The Attorney General of Indiana has filled suit against the Central Union Telephone Company to collect $40,000 penalty for failure to file statements of earnings since 1882. Gov. Mabtin, of Kansas, has revoked his quarantine proclaimed against Illinois cattle, except in so far as it applies to Cook County. Samuel Slaole, of Fort Wayne, Ind., was engaged in screening gravel under a high bank in the pit of the Wabash Bailway, a short distance west of the city. Without warning the bank suddenly caved in, precipitating twenty tons of gravel upon Slagle and completely covering him from sight. It was many minntes before the accident attracted the attention of another man working in the pit, and n considerable time elapsed before the lifeless remains were exhumed. Slagle was '20 years of age, and was the principal support of a widowed mother. The schooner Marshall, laden with ties for Chicago, is aground on the rocks at Mission Point, Mackinaw Island, and will be a total wreck.

TBE EASTEBH STATES. Has. Eixa DmsxoBE has been convicted at Clarion, Pa., of the murder of James Davis, after a lengthy and sensational trial. David Ii. King is now under sentence of death for tbe same crime. Mrs. Dinsmore was an advsatQres9, with whom both Davis and King were infatuated, and conspired with the latter to entice Davis to her lodgings, where King killed him. It is supposed the object of the murder was to plunder the victim, who was very wealthy. Bow King and Mrs. Dinsmore pleaded self-defense on their trials. Major Bahdixtt, commanding Fort Duchesne, Utah, telegraphs tbe War Department that Colorow'a followers, including women and children, number about ISO. He believes they would return to the reservation if they could get there without being attacked. The military authorities believe tbe facts do not yet warrant the use of troops to suppress the supposed outbreak, and are inclined to think the action of the State officials has been precipitate. It is thought that if a judicious course is pursued Colorow can be induced to return peaceably to tbe reservation, but that aa attack upon him by troops would be likely to cause a general Indian uprising. A dispatch from Gardner, 111., says: "Miss Sarah H. Dodge, the alleged slayer of Walter ft, Babooek, the Chicago lumber merchant.

waived a hearing, and was admitted to bail in the sum of tlO.OOtt The willingness of State's Attorney Carter to accept $10,000 batl is oonstrued as a tacit admission that he does not believe Miss Dodge will be convicted of tbe murder by the court, and that the jase will never get further than the Grand Jury. Mr. Carter admitted as much. He said: 'It will bo difficult to convict Miss Dodge, I fear, Baboook'a friends will not prosecute her, but want to let the matter drop. Ha refused to mako any statement against her. She can claim th i shooting m in self-defense or accidental, and there is no way of successfully contradicting her.' Tho true cause of the death of Babcook will never be known to the public unless Miaa Dodge chooses to reveal it There is no reason why she should, and evory mason why she should not" Obovesteen & Feu a Wall street firm, have made an assignment One estimate of the liabilities places them at $1,800,000, while friends of the firm state that 83,000 in oaih would settle everything. The nominal assets are 2,000,000. THE WESTERN STATES, The South Carolina rioe crop has been almost ruined by floods. The losses of the planters are enormous, and the colored plantation hands are threatened with starvation during the winter unless relieved by publio charity. A telegram from San Antonio, Texas, reports the death of Jesus Taldowado, "a wealthy ranchman of Vera Cruz,'' at the age of 154, and the appearance at his funeral, in the capacity of pall-bearers, of three sons, the youngest 109 years old All mail for Mr. Joseph Mulhatton should be sent to San Antonio until further notice. A dispatch from Denver of Friday last says: "Tuesday Major Leslie left Meeker with eighty men, going toward Blue Mountain, northeast from Meeker, to intercept tho Ute, and yesterday a courier reached Glonwood with the information that Leslie bad found them in Pot-Hole Basin, on White Bivcr, in a natural stronghold They number about two hundred bucks. Major Leslie had a parley with them, but they demanded the 'big white man,' and said: 'Won't talk to cowboys; whites want little fight; soldiers must go hack or have little fight' General Beardon at onco telegraphed Governor Adams urging him to accede to this request, and the Governor left for Meeker and the front" The Governors of Kansas, Colorado, Ohio, Wisconsin, and Minnesota have revoked their quarantine proclamations against Illinois oattle except as they apply to Cook County. The Iowa and Wyoming proclamations have also been modified. An attempt was made at South Bend, Ind., to remove from the streets the poles and wires of the Central Union Telephone Company. After the connection with the Exchange had been severed an injunction restraining the prosecution of the work was served on the authorities. The company attempted to replace the dismantled poles, but tho oitizens took the matter in hand and chopped them down as fast as they were erected

THE S0UTHEB9 STATES. A CoivOBADO (Texas) special to the Chicago Time says: A gentleman just in from the upper panhandle informs your correspondent that the reports of loss of cattle by the Capital Syndicate have not been in tbe least exaggerated. The company has thousands more cattle than it has water to supply, and they aro dying by the thousand. One emploje of tiie syndicate told this gentleman that the losses for the previous twenty-two days would average five hundred head per day, and at one large well a herd of oattle, crazed by thirst, crowded on the covering of the well, which gave way, actually filling the well full of struggling cattle. Seventy-three head wero afterward dragged out of the hole. The almost entire absence of winds for some weeks past has kept the wind-mills from pumping water, thus cutting off almost the entire supply. An Austin (Tex.) dispatch aays: "The Washington County election eases, which have been on trial in the United States District Court here for several days, were brought to a close by the jury bringing in a verdict of 'Not guilty on the second count, charging destruction of ballot-boxes by the defendants, and disagreeing as to the count charging conspiracy and interference with officers. Judge Turner in accordance with the verdict declared the defendants not guilty as to the second oount and that there had been a misMai as to die other counts, and they were continued until the next term of court" Six men have been indicted at Woodstock, T., for taking Senator Biddleberger from jail, and the Deputy Sheriff who surrendered the keys to them has also been indicted, Biddleberger, who has been suffering from mania a potu, is convalescing, and will return to jail this week to eerve the remaining three days of his sentence It is stated the amount of money taken by Norman Roberta, of Baltimore, Md, will reach 400,000, which belonged to the Lomain heirs. He lost 980,000 belonging to his mother in speculation. THE PCMTI0AL FIELD. The Iowa Republican Convention, which was held at Des Moines Aug. 34, heartily cheered every allusion to Blaine and Allison. Governor Larrabee and Lieutenant Governor Hull were renominated by acclamation. George & Robinson was nominated for Supreme Judge on the fifth ballot, and Henry Sabin for Superintendent of Public Instruction on the third ballot The platform embraces twelve resolutions. The suppression of the black vote in the South is viewed with alarm; the protective tariff and civil-service reform are approved; the Cleveland administration is condemned; the interstate commerce act in indorsed and anti-monopoly legislation in the State demanded; a liberal pension policy is favored, prohibition stoutly upheld; the usual message of sympathy extended to Gladstone and Parnoll, and Governor Larrabee's administration commended Lewis E. M'Comab presided over the Maryland Republican Convention, which met at Baltimore August 34. The following ticket was nominated: For Governor, Walter Brooks, of Baltimore; for Comptroller, It B Dixon, of Talbott County; For Attorney General, Francis Miller, of Montgomery County. The platform arraigns the President for not calling to account Federal officers who have disregarded his instructions regarding active participation in politics, which alleged shortcoming on his part is held to be a confession that his civil service reform utterances are insincere. Five hundred delegates attended the Pennsylvania Prohibition Convention at Harrisburg. Simeon B. Chase was nominated for Judge of the Supreme Court, and D. C Irish for State Treasurer. The platform indorses woman suffrage, the restriction of immigration, and the reservation of public lands for actual settlers; THE ITOUSTEIAi REALM. A New York dispatch says that anti-Pow-derly delegates will represent District 40 at the Knights of Labor National Convention in Minneapolis. There was a stormy time at the district election. T. B. McGuiro and other Home Club and administration canw.dstes were defeated. The vote in several instances was close, and there will probably be a number of contests. The International Stove Molders' Union baa suddenly determined upon demanding an advance in wages varying from 10 to 15 per cent over all the United States and Canada, says a Pittsburgh dispatch. The men are to continue at work for two weeks in order to finish what patterns they are at present engaged upon. Then a strike is to be ordered, audi' at the end ot a week the advMtog is not

conceded S per cent additional is to be asked. There aro in the union 13,000 registered members, and 8,000 more who can be accounted for. In this city tiiore ar3 about two hundred and seventy-five, and. the largest numbers are in Toronto, St Louis, Cincinnati and Chicago. THE P0EEI&H BUDGET. The Tory press of England and Ireland is unanimous in its approval of the proclamation of the National League. Joseph ('hamberuin mado a peculiar speech- at' Si. nungh&ui, from which appears that although he was in favor of tho orimes act lie did :..".( w.iut to see it cnforodJ, and that while he is grieved at the action of tho Government in proclaiming tho League he cannot find it in his heart to criticise it harshly. Mr. Chamberlain wanted it understood that he was still a Unionist, although he spoke very tenderly of Mr. Gladstone, in whom, ho said, the country had never lost faith. News comes by citblo from St Petersburg that the Russian Government has sont a circular to the powers declaring that it is unable to recognize the validity of Princo Ferdinand's eloction to tho throne of Bulgaria. According to tho circular, Princo Ferdinand acquainted the Czir with tho fact of his election, and requested permission to visit St Petersburg in order to learn the Czar's wishes Lefore going to Bulgaria. Tho Czar replied that the Prince's eloction would not be recognized by Russia, and that the Prince could by no pretext justify his journey to Bulgaria. The circular in conclusion oxpresliea the hope that the Bulgarian people will coincide with the Russian views and not permit a flagrant violation of the Berlin treaty. A mketino to denounce the Government's course was held in Dublin Tuesday evening. An immense crowd was present and great enthusiasm was manifested. Tho Lord Mayor presided. There wero also two overflow meetings, at which Edmund Leamy and T. P. Gill, if. P., presided There were present several English and Scotch members of Parliament., ineludins Mesfra. Jacob Bright, Cobb, Sutherland, Fenwick, and Haldane. Prof. Galbraith, a Protestant moved a resolution denouncing ihe edict against tho league, which was unanimously a'lopteJ. Mb. Gladstone offered a resolution in the British House of Commons, says a London dispatch, to the effect "that a humble address be presented to tho Queen representing that the Viceroy of Ireland had proclaimed the National League a dangerous association; thatno information had been furnished to Parliament to justify the proclamation, by virtue of which her Majesty's subjects are to be rendered liable to be punished as criminals without a jud cial inquiry into the nature of their acts; and that this House, in tho absence of such information, prays that said proclamation shall not continue in force as to the association named and described therein." Mr. Gladstone spoke at length on the resolution, arraigning the action of tin Government Mr. Balfour defended the courso taken. The political situation at Sofia continues chaotic. All tbe loading men refuse to enter tbe ministry, which will be composed of nonentities. Iho prospect for a brilliant or protracted reign by tho new prince aro certainly tho reverse of flattering. THE QOWWEM AT ' LARGE. Wabhtngton dispatches state that the British vessels whioh wero seized in Alaskan waters and subsequently released, were not released because tho United States had no ground for holding them, but from a spirit of magnanimity because the captains pleaded ignorance of tho law, and there was no desire to persecute them. At the rupreme Council of the American Legion of Honor, in session at Washington, it was stated that tho order is carrying benefit insurance of 183,000,000, and has collected and paid in the course of the last two years, about $4,000,000. There were eighteen assessments called during the year ending June SJ, 1886, and twenty-one during the year ending June 3 1887. The average death rate was 1,074 Several amendments to the constitution were adopted, among them a provision that hereafter no person over 45 years of age can become a beneficial member of the order, and that each member as soon as initiated, besoms a contributor to the benefit fund A boat containing two men, three women, and four children capsized in the St Lawrence River, near Montreal. Tho men saved themselves, and left the women and children to perish. A becognizxd authority on sugar estimates that the world's production cf the article in 1S86-'8T is about 440,000 tons larger tbau that of tho last preceding year. Ho thinks, however, that this fact will be compensated by an incroased consumption, most of which he credits to Europe and North America. A Winnipeg (Manitoba) special says: "Letters from Frazier and Stewart, dated Fort Chippewyan, July 5, state that they reached that point after many hardships. Forest fires have been numerous and destructive. Destitution at Fort Chippewyan lat winter was terrible, and several cases of cannibalism are reported. One old woman at Little Red River admits having killed and eaten her whole family. Starvation and cannibalism are also reported from McKenzie River. " Itjlly considers the election of Prinoe Ferdinand to the throno of Bulgaria legal, but that his assumption of power is contrary to the Berlin treaty. Turkey refuses to Saeent to Russia's proposal to employ cOKroton in Bulgaria. TM M AEXE T8. NEW YOKK.

A FIERCE FIGHT.

A Jackass and a 'Bull Have a Deadly Combat, in Which the Latter Is Killed.

A special dispatch from Cincinnati to the Chicago Herald Rives an account of a novel fight near Korton P. O., Ky:, between Pole Harrison's bull and a jackass owned by one of his neighbors: The fight was the result of Harrison 1 avlng mentioned in a bantering way bis bull's fighting (lualltlcatious l'urt of a red llaimel shirt was thoughtfully brought by the reforee. This was tied amund tho jack's neck by consent of the owner, and the animals were turned loose. The ass did not like the red, and seemed to blamo the bull for its presence, for he laid back his cava and mad 3 a dart for him. The bull got out of tho way, but not in time to escape a bite on the rump. This maddened him and he turned, and striking tho ass smiare on the right should 3r he nearly knocked him down. On he came, but the aes recovered himself. He did not have time to tum around and kick, but he got in a shoulder uittor V. itu bis fore foot. It struck the bull a glancing lick on tbe neck and cut about two inches, from which the blood flowed. A bellow told that the bull was now thoroughly maddened. Hoywent straight tor the jack, holuing his headAow and snaking it The jack vbo'led to kick, but tho bull, in anticipation of thin, dodged around to bis side He got in a slight blow, which cut sevoral-icches of hair from his a tversary's belly. Thus tho fight went on with varying fortune, l oth animals receiving sovere punishment Both animals wore 1 eginning to feel the heat, but thoy showed no signs of weakness or cowardice. While tho bull w as trying to evade the heo'.B of tho jaok ho was caught on tho rump by bis tooth He hold on, and for a lew minutes tliev were spinning around in a Hiuall circle. '1 he hold slippoil at last, but with it came a bl'j piece of bull bide and a stream of blood. Immediately tho hull wheeled and gave the jack a liok that knocked him down. Ho followed up, and gored him across the Bido, cutting a terrible gash, from which the blood spurted. Ho wns about to follow it up with another, when the ja?k struck hfm in tho eye with his iron-clod fore foot, and completely mashod that organ of sight This gave him a chunco to bet up and be 11 eut for the blind side of that bull like lightning. Both heels stn.ok the bull squaro in tho side. Ho staggered, but did not fall. It could bo plr'nly seen that be was suffering terriblj- and ru!d not Inst long, but his grit was still thc-re. Tho jack led, but tho bull struck first and caught his adversary square in tho stomach. Ho pushed on and burled his horn. The lack felt as tho bull tried to rip him opon, and began yelling, kioking, and biting, but t' o bull pinioned him fn&t. At last one of bis kirks struck tbe bull ou tbo fore leg and broke it Ho fell and thoy rolled oveir together. Someone criod "Part them!" but their owners said to let tbc-ni "light it out." and f ght it out they did. untb at last the jack planted his heels fiinily on the lull's frontal bene and literally kicked tho lit out of him.

THE COLOR LINE.

It Has Been Drawn at Asbury Park Portrait or Air. Itrmlley. The sun's rays beat down with scorching ardor on both the black and white population of Asbury Park, and despite Mr. Bradley's fiat that the board walk, etc., was exclusively intended for the paying visitor, the colored people doty the decree, and appear as usual on board walk, beach, and pavilion, writes a correspondent from the pretty New Jersey resort. Puck, that has so humorously pictured the situation of

ihe color line in a recent issue, fully explains the dilemma in an amusing sketch. There, black beUt jostles her white neighbor as though to the manner and station born equal. James A. Bradley, ihe founder and owiserof Asbury Park, of course has a legal and moral right, as long as private ownership ot land is recognized, to deckle who shall and who shall not occupy his private property. Mr. Bradley's offending lies in the charge that be has said that large numbers of colored persons come to the beach every evening; that they monopolize the choice seats in the pavilion and crowd guests off the boardwalks; that some of them behave improperly, and that many try to make the walks and beach lodging places. Mr, Bradley's words are: "The time 13 coming, indeed, may have arrived, when some decided action muBt be taken to show our colored friends that the board-walk and tbe pavilion are private property, to whioh the owner invites the guests of the ,botel, and others, whom he does not invite, will be requested in langnage not to be misunderstood not to interfere with the arrangements he has made for the permanency of the town and the protection of the capital ho bas invested." Mr. Bradley manages the property that he has built, and maintains everything at his own expense. He is an acute, shrewd and active business man, and, as the owner of Asbury Park, be has oertainly a right to exclude whom and whathe will.

THE CHATSWORTH DISASTER. The Kailroad Company lias as Vet Done Nothing Toward Settling- for Damnceii, IPeoria special to Chicago Times, Mr. E. T. Leonard, President of the Toledo, Peoria and Western Railway, :is asked what the company would do it. th..way of settling for damages sustain, .t n Chatsworth.

With those questions answered they would have to decide how to settle claims, and how to raise the money to settle them with. The money would have to be borrowed.

HANGED, BUT NOT DEAD. A Strange Story of How a Texas Murderer Escaped Death on the Gallowi.

Fort Worth (Texas) special. I Campbell Lnngley, father of the once notorious and not yet forgotten Bill Langley, removed to Bell County, Texas, from near Lexington, Lee Oountv, Tesai, twelve years ago. During his residence iu Lee and Bell counties ho has been known as a well-to-do farmer find an upright citizen. Campell Langley to-day icld story to some of the leading citizens which, but for his well-known Christian character, would be put down as wildest fiction. He says that his son, Bill Langley, who was Sublicly hanged twelve years ago in (Jidings, Lee Couuly, by .Sheriff Jim Brown, in the presence of several thousand people, was not hurt at all, but was allowed to escape. The father says when the Supreme Court and the Governor refused to intervene in Bill's bebalf a rich uncle in California came to the rescue with $4,000, with which he worked upon the sympathy of the sheriff charged with the execution of the sentence; that the friends of Bill were permitted to arrange things so that when the drop fell the weight of the body fell upon the iron hoop supported by an appropriate body harness in such a way that he escaped physically unhurt. When he had drawn his legs up and down two or three times the attending phyGicians pronounced him dead, and he was turned over to his friends for interment. The coffin, which was actually buried, contained nothing bat stones. While the last sad rites were being pronounced, Bill Langley was well on his way out of the country. He has been living since his supposed execution in Nicaragua, where he has become a leading citizen and one of the largest land and cattle herders in Central America. Those who know Campbell Langley do not hesitAte to believe his story, which he now makes pubUc only because Sheriff Brown, who officiated at the supposed execution, died in Lee County last week. RIGHTS OF BALL-PL ITERS.

A Movement to Prevent the Buying and Sel ing- or Thein. Boston dispatch. Now that all other labor troubles are settled, or in process of settlement, the baseball players are coming forward and demanding that their claims be satisfied. With them it is net a question of pay or hours of nork, but simply an abolishment or amendment of the present methods by which they are bought and sold as completely as were ever black slaves before the emancipation proclamation. There is at present a base-bull union, called the Brotherhood of League Base-Ball Players, of which Ward, of New York, is President, and before next week is out the brotherhood will have informed the League managers fully of what it intends to demand, and the presumption .is that most of its demands will be satisfied. There is as yet no talk of strikes or lockouts, and it is hoped that the settlement will be an amicable one, for it is felt on all sides that if the brotherhood should take the bit in its teeth the disruption of the National League would be the result. The brotherhood is weaker in Chicago than other cities, only Williamson, Pfeffer and Flint being members, but the Chicago club has to stand or fall with the League, and if it is broken in New York, Detroit, Boston and Philadelphia President Spalding will find his occupation gone. Just as surely, also, if it comes to a fight, the sympathy of the publio will be with the ballplayers. THE NEW ULM MASSACRE.

Celebration of the Twenty-fifth AnnlverSHry of the Battle. !New Uiin (Minn.) telegram. Tuesday was the twenty-filth anniversary of the battle of New Ulm, and tbe city gave a right royal welcome to the surviving defenders who, a quarter of a centnry ago, risked their lives in her defense. It was at

a time when the drafts upon Minnesota fo

the civil war bad taken away many ot her able-bodied citizens, leaving comparatively few to defend the firesides. The Indians seized this opportunity, and then followed the great Sioux massacre, the most sanru nary conflict of which was the battle of New Tim. But Colonel Charles Flandrau, now of St. Paul, and a few well-armed men came from St. Poter aud the town was saved. Numbers of tbe old defenders were et New Ulm from Mankoto, St. Paul, Le Sueur, St. Peter, and other cities. All the streets were gayly decorated.

Immigrants Swindled by College Currency. I Cincinnati speoial.) Complaint having beau made that immigrants at Castle Garden were swindled by paper resembling United States money, but called college currency, steps were taken to find out its origin. It was found in Jacob H. Long's printing office at Hamilton, Ohio, and quite a number of plates were seized, ana Mr. Long warned to print no more of It. The imitation of the United Slates currency was close, especially the back of tbe note. The currency was not issued to deceive, but for use in business colleges, but swindlers found it convenient to use on strangers, and as the statutes forbid the making of any im tation of United States currency for any purpose the plates a-a contraband.

THE COLONEL'S WAGED. EY PAUL If. LEAK.

E MEMBER the signaL Ii I lift my hat, it is yes; if not, no. Do yon understand?" These words, spoken on a sidewalk of a

Northern city, reached the ears of a young man passing by. The young man, who was a detective, gave tbe speaker a sharp

glance and passed on, turning the Words- 6Vet in his mind, for men of his occupation notice strange actions and speeches, however tfitfhtl.- - The author of the remark was a oe-nevoiont-looking gentleman, whose snowy mustache and goatee would have argued him to be on the shady side of fifty. He was faultlessly attired, and had a soldierly bearing that would have made him conspicuous in any crowd. His companion was a ragged gamin, whose box and brush bespoke his trade. There was a shrewd look in his rude Irish features that showed a sharpness far in excess of his years. "Sure, I understands. Bat the boodle?" "I've not forgotten yon. Here." A crisp bill drops into the arab's hand. The gentleman strolls up the sidewalk, and the spry young gamin darts across the street, giving vent to his exuberant spirit by murdering a portion of a "Mikado" air. Meanwhile the young member of the secret service had wended his way to the shaded porch of a popular hotel, and sat among a group of men who were filling the air with the fragrance of Havanas and striving to lower the local temperature by the flutter of hats and the free use of ice water. The subject of sports was under discussion, and its treatment was as dry as the weather. The last pugilistio encounter was consigned to oblivion after very brief consideration, and even the latest news from the diamond or the race-course failed to awaken enthusiasm. In short, everyone was too much engrossed in the problem of how to keep cool to become enthusiastic over anything. Presently the conversation lulled for a moment as a tall form ascended the steps and was greeted cordially by a number of the sporting fraternity. It

was Colonel Harrison Dash, one of the most noted gamblers of the North, and many curious eyes were turned upon him as he stood leaning gracefully against the railing. Our detective friend, gazing with the rest, had no difficulty in recognizing him as the man whose peculiar remarks he had overheard a short time before. The porch continued hot and the conversation dull, while even the glaring hot pavements seemed more deserted than usual. A look of disgust crept into the old gambler's face. Gazing absently up the street, he observed a bootblack loitering along under tbe awnings, seemingly en route for nowhere in particular. The sight apparently gave him an idea, and he drew the attention of the company by a wave of his hand. "Gentlemen," said the Colonel, "you know me and the way in which I gain my livelihood. I live by betting, and sometimes it's my luck to win, sometimes to lose. But what I wish to say to you is this: Everything is getting dull and stagnant, and, as a publia philanthropist, I want to raise a little excitement, and am willing to sink money in order to do so. Do you see that bootblack coming? Why not bet on him as well as anything else? I'll wage fifty dollars that he climbs that lamp-post when he cornea to it, or vice versa, whichever side you wish to take. Who will bet on a sure thing, just for the sake of a little amusement?" "Put up your greenbacks, Colonel," exclaimed the proprietor of the hotel, producing a roll of bills. "Ill take that bet, for, as you say, it's a sura thing." "I tool and I!" cried several others, and soon a considerable' amount of money was in the hands of the stakeholder, the gambler covering every offered bet. "Please understand the bet," said Colonel Dash. "I bet that the bootblack climbs the post." "And we that he does nothing of the kind," said a well-known jockey, who acted us spokesman for his companions. "Now everybody keep silent and don't stare the gamin quite out of countenance." In spite of this admonition the men watched the arab curiously as he straggled post without apparently noticing the attention paid to his movements. The Colonel raised his hat slightly and wiped the perspiration from his brow. The lad walked slowly on. As he drew nearer to the lamp-post many eager conjectures were hazarded by the on-lookers. To the surprise of all he dropped his "kit" upon the ground and nimbly commenced the ascent Arrived at his destination the agile dispenser of shines took a satisfied survey of his surroundings and then slid back to mother earth, while Colonel Harrison Dash triumphantly pocketed the stakes amid the shouts of the crowd, who delightedly yelled themselves hoarse over the way in whioh their companions had been sold. As for the detective, the sorap of conversation whioh had passed between gambler and the gamin had long since become quite clear to his mind, 'TIh the Lady Wasp That Stings. Tho male wasp never stings. But so long as he and his sister are twins and dress exactly aliko this bit of knowledge availeth nothing to tho careless man who does not know it is the lady who is approaching him, until it be that she smithe him, until it be that she smiteth him with her bustle. What humanity demands of science in the case of the wasp is the invention of some prompter method of distinguishing betweeen monsieur and madamwazzle at forty yards. Science. A man's reception is according to his coat; his dismissal according to his sense. Russian proverb. Do not measure the enjoyment of others by your own,
