The celebrated Gdrman novelist, Berthold Auerbacb, died at Cannes oa Thursday. Grief at the Jewish persecution hastened his deaitl). He waa born of Jewish parents at Nordatetten,v in the Black •Forest, February 32, 1912. He studied theology and jarisprtjdence at Tubingen, and philosophy and history at Munich and ^erlin. His earliest historical navels treat cf Judaism, and ia 1841 he published a German translation of Spinosta'u works, accompanied with a highly appreciative biographical notice. Subsequently lie became celebrated by his descriptions of German village life, which were remarkable for an abundance of philosophical reflections and poetical feeling this characteristic is prominent^n his ''Black Forest Village StorieB," and appears to a greater extent in Little Barefool." One of Tiis best-known works is "On the Heights," but probably the most charactetietic of his novels is "The Professor's Lady." His novels have not only been translated into English and French, but some of them have been printed 'in Dutch and Swedish. Among his other literary productions must be counted a tragedy and a drama," but these were not so successful as his tales. His principle political work i» entitled "Events in Vienna," which was published in 1849. Since 1858 he has resided chiefly in Berlin, where he edited a popular almanac. During the Franco-Prussian war he accompanied for some time one of the German princes, and wrote letters for a German newspaper.

William Miller, the oldest mason in (be United States, died at his home near Caldwell, Ohio, on Wednesday last, at the advanced age of ninety eight years and eight months. He was born in county Antrim, Ireland, June 6, 1783. He commenced taking the degrees of Masonry when eighteen, years old and took the master's degree ii^ 1804, when he was twenty-one. Subsequently he w^s made a knight templar, but could not duriog the later years of his life recall the date of his elevation to that honor. In consequence of the secretary of the lod«e to which he belonged being only a royal arch mason he conld not obtain a certificate of having received the encampment degrees, so that he had no record to show he was a knight. He had, however, an old time-worm and partially destroyed parchment, bearing the 6eal of his ledge, dated June 15, 1812, which shows that he was a master mason eighty-one years, a royal arch mason seventy-eight years', and a knight over seventy years. He came to this country in 1812, and at the time of his death was an honaiy member of Sharon Ledge, No. 136. He was buried yesterday with the honors of the fraternity to which he belonged, and in which he was an ardent believer.

Nothing was heard of them until Tuesday last, when their bodies were found on a small island. The boat must have capsized and they made their way through the water and ice to the spot where found, where they died from exposure. This is another good temperance lecture.

Mexico and Guatemala*?-!

BLAINE'S LETTER OFFERING DIPLOMATIC ASSISTANCE. BOSTON, Mass., Feb. 10.—The Transcript to-night contains the correspondence called for by the Senate in the matter of the tender of the good offices of this Government in the settlement of the question of boundary between Mexico and Guatemala. The official text of a portion of this correspondence, published by the Mexican Department of Foreign Affairs, has been received here. Thejletter of Blaine, as translated from the Spanish, will differ somewhat from the language, bnt its tenor remain-! unchanged. It is as follows:

DEPARTMENT OF STATE, WASHINGTON, June 16,1881.

Philip H. Morgan, Etc., Elc, SIR»—In my instructions of the first inst. and to-day I have so clearly explained the friendly spirit which animates the Government toward that of Mexico that I am sure there cannot be any doubt about the sincerity of our sentiments. Thinkine that such friendship and frankness, which has always distinguished the policy of this country towards its neighbors, authorized it to give friehdly advice when any occasion presents itself, and considering it is our province to give such advice, both on account of our well-known impartiality and the position of the United States as founders, and, to a certain extent^ supporters and guardians, of republican principles on the American dbntinent, it seems proper to send new and certain instructions upon a subject in which we are naturally interested. I refer to the question of boundaries and territorial jurisdiction now pending between Mexico and Guatemala. In the time of the Empire, Iturbide's forces overranja great portion of the territory that to-day constitutes Central America, which had just separated itself from Spanish domination. Changes of fortune, during the war caused the Mexican troops to abandon the greater portion of th&t region, excepting the important provinces of Soconusco and Chiapas, which remained in their power. Since then no boundaries have ever beefi established in a satisfactory manner between the two countries. When Mexico became a Republic, she did not desist from the claims founded on the imperial policy of conquest and absorption, while Guatemala resisted the progress of Mexican arms, and disputing step by step the ground already conquered, never has reached settlement with her more powerful neighbor in regard to the relative extention of their jurisdiction over the disputed zone between the Gulf of Tehuaniepec and the Peninsula of Yucatan. Under the circumstances the Government of Guatemala has formally addressed itself to the President of the United States, asking his good offices, to the end that friendly relations between the two Republics may bs established. This appeal has been made in a frank and conciliatory manner addressing itself to the natural protector of the rights and national integrity of those countries with republican forma of government which lie so near our shores and to which we are bound by so many historical traditions and material interests and this Government could pot but attend in a friendly and considerate manner to the appeal of Guatemala, as readily as it would have done if Mexico had appealed to it, on account of its interest to have justice done and harmony restored. The events which the present generation of Mexicans remember— events which occurred when the moral and material aid of the United States, notwithstanding they were then engaged in a desperate civil war, lent itself generously to avert the danger with which a ioreign Empire threatened the national existence of Mtxico—give satisfactory proof of the good faith and kindly disposition with which the United States regard everything which concerns the wellbeing and existence of the sister Republics of the continent. It is alleged on the part of Guatemala that the diplomatic efforts which have been made to reach a settlement with" Mexico have been fruitlesi that there is a preliminary and partial work begun to investigate the true boundaries,and that Guatemalan exploring commissions sent to study the ground in order to prepare a basis for a final arraogeoient were imprisoned by the Mexican authorities that Guatemalan agents, charged with taking the census of the territory in question, have been treated in ths same inner, and finally that the Mexicin Government has cautiously, but constantly invaded the border region which has up to thi3 time been in possession of Guatemala, replacing the local-authority, and has thus enlarged the area of the disputed territory. It is not incumbent upon the United Stales to express an opinion about the rights which either Mexico or Guatemaula may have to that region. This Government has not constituted ittelf the arbitrator of the destiny of either country, or both. In this matter it is Oijly the impartial friend of both, ready to give frank and sincere advice upon whatever may disturb the peace ana prosperity of its neighbors. It anxiously desires, above all, to do every act tending to strengthen the hatural union of the Republics of this continent, in opposition to the tendencies of other distant countries, with different forms of government, to influence the internal affairs of Spanish America. It desires especially, while observing this lofty policy, to see the Central American republics united more firmly than in the past, so that they may be able to protect their common* interests, which, so far is their foreign relations are concerned, are identical in principle with those affecting Mexico and the United States. This Government thinks that whatever may diminish the good will and harmony so desirable among the republics of the Isthmus must finally disastrously affect their mutual well being. Responsibility for the conservation of this attitude—common to all, to form ft onion th&t m&y Btrcoctbcn in the opin-

alike to all,

ion of the President, to the powerfol states no ha than to the weaker. Without/consequently, prejudicing in any way the question between Mexico and Guatemala, and offering onr disinterested advice to bdth, the President deems it to be his duty to express to the Government of Mexico his conviction of the dangers which principles so signally and snceerafally defended by Mtxico would incur, if it should look with contempt upon it from

the

boundaries which separate it from its weaker neighbors, or if it should appeal to force to make good its rights upon the territory in dispute without due jbsti ficatioa of legitimate title to it. And the President would especially consider it an act of unfriendliness to the praiseworthy plan of consolidating the republican Governments in America, if Mexico, who ought to distinguish itself in the case by its power as well as by its generality, should look for or allow any discard with Guatemala, when the peaceful putting an end to the difficulties Is so simple, and of such imperio*'* .'.iona^necessity.

Yc: if 9 authorized to have an inter view -ith Mr.- Mari-cal, with a view to combiunicating to him the tenor of this note. In doii it, yonr sound judgment will have a large field to dispel any misunderstanding on his part concerning the friendly spirit which has dictated this proceeding. If Mr. Mariscal shows himself disposed to know more intimately the President's opinion, after jour verbal explanation, you are authorized to read this dispatch to him, and he desires, to give him a copy.

I am, etc., J. G. BLAINE.

TEE* I WHAT TH*Y APPROPRIATE WASHINGTON, February 10.—The immediate deficiency appropriation bih appropriates $1,437,233, of which the following are the most important items: Public printing, $400,000 Icdian service, principally for the Sionx, $418,000 transportation of coin and bullion, $50,000 construction of vaults in the Treasury, $75,000 clerical force in the Patent Office, $25,000 clerical force in the Pension Office, $75,000 under the Fish Commission, $77,000 Post Office Department^ $100,000 repairs to Executive Mansion, $23,000.

The Military Academy appropriation bill recommendr an appropriation of $418,857, being $100,717 less than the estimates, and $3,578 less than the amount appropriated lor the current year.

REPUBLICAN CAUCUS.

The Republican Senators, in a brief caucus, to-day, determined to resist any motion to bring up Harris' resolution for the appointment of Neil Brown, as acting Chief Clerk, of the Senate, the caucus being of the opinion that it is inadvisable to disturb the present arrangement in regard to Senate offices. The caucus also decided that in the event of Harris' resolution being brought up, the Republicans will

support

an amendment substi

tuting the name of Charles W. Johnson, of Minnesota, who received the Republican caucus nomination for the Chief Clerkship last year. tlECx'B BANKING BILL.

Senator Beck is daily in receipt of letters from bankers and banking firms of the country on the subject of his bill to prevent the unlawful certification of checks by national banks. The letters coming to Mr. Beck are uniformly in favor of the bill and urging its passage. At a meeting of national bankers held in New York in 1873 to inciuire into the cause of the panic then existing tliis-sub-ject of the over-certification ot checks was severely condemned in the report of a special committee- composed of bank presidents. This committee recommended thatN"In no case shall a check or other obligation be certified to by a bank unless the amount of it is first found regularly entered to the credit of the drawer upon the Dooks of the institution." In his forthcoming speech in support of his bill Beck intends to quote from the report of that committee. This bill will probably come up next week in the Senate.

NOMINATED.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.—The President nominated the following Postmasters: Horace E. James, Rensselaer, Ind. Rqssell W. Caswell, Macon City, Mo. Jacob V. Admire, Osage City, Kas. George D. Jacques, Helena, Ark.

ACCIDENT TO SENATOR LAMAB. Senator Lamar, while crossing Seventh street at the intersection of Pennsylvania Avenue, last evening, was struck by a passing leapi of horses and knocked down senseless on the pavement. The horses were hitched to a carriage and were being recklessly driven.

A SAVING OF TIME.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.—The House Committee on Post Offices, to-day, agreed to report favorably a bill to make all public roads and highways post routes. This will avoid the neceraity of epecial bills to designate post routes, which take up a great deal of the time of every session of Congress.

ANTI-STALWART NOMINATION. fhe Presidept this morning agreed to appoint Brun Tzschuck, of Nebraska, Consul at Vera Cruz. Tzschuck has been supported and urged for this appointment by both Nebraska Senators but was opposed by Representative Valentine, of that State, wlio stands here as representing the Stalwart element of his party. The President promised positively to appoint Tzschuck and the Senators regard this as an indication that he does not intend to favor Stalwarts any more than others.

ANOTHER CONTESTED NOMINATION. The sub-committee of the Senate Naval Affaire Committfe to which was referred the nomination of Stevenson, to be Pay Director in the Navy, expects to take final action on Monday. This nomination is being strongly opposed, it being maintained, as against Stevenson, that he not fit for the place.

sions has decided that pension bills hereafter reported shall grant a pension- from and after the passage of the act only and shall not include arrears.

WANT OBDWAY REMOVED.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.—A delegation from southeastesn Dakota waited on the President to-day and asked the removal of Governor Ordway. '—4

Foreign Motes. GREAT BRITAIN.

JVOKPOX, Feb. 10.—Glcdstone's specch in the House on Smythe's amendment, declaring it impracticable, so long as the Irish are unable to define clearly where local affairs end and Imperial affairs begin,

has created a serSstlon. The Time* COth eiders that this manner of meeting the demand of the Home Rufers showed an unfortunate departure from the settled practices of responsible politicians. The Standard saye the answer will certainly be construed as an encouragement to persevere in the agitation. The MorninePoet says it is a direct incitement to the Home Rulers to persevere.

Trade Review. NEW YORK.

NEW YORK, February 10.—A stronger feeling is noticeable in business circles, and the markets are recovering from the depression incident to the semi-panic in Paris, the worst effects of which are known now. Wheat being the leading feature of the grain market, the other grains followed its course. The tendency of the market was steadily downward and the clique is apparently unable to uphold prices. At the close there was some recovery, which was lost at the news of the heavy failure of Preston & Co. The provision market has been very unsatisfactory, and the tendency is downward. Fluctuations were slight, however. In cotton the volume of business has been very large there has been a sharp decline of half to fc per pound, and the market clones barely steady. In wool there has been a regular, steady business with no material change in price*, but a good feeling on the part of holders as to the future. The general dry goods trade continues restricted buyers are here i» large numbers, but orders are not as large as expected prices generally are well maintained. Leather is firm. In hoots and ehoes the spring trade does not open up with much spirit the demand for immediate use continues fair, and. manufacturers are supplied with orders for a little time ahead. The iron trade is not so active as in January, but is still satisfactory. There is a moderate demand for Scotch pig, and importattions are large and will ns for some time to come. Considerable business is doing in steel rails, but iron rails are neglected. The open weather has maintained a steady demand for building lumber. The market for raw sugar is stronger, with an upward tendency, refiners' stocks being light. The tea market is quiet, and prices very little chauged sales at auction seem to meet the present wants of the trade. There is more inquiry for Brizil grades of coffee, and prices are firmer, with better distributing demands. In butter there is a good demand for all the best grades arriving prices are generally well supported. The cheese market is dull, and prices inclined to recede, on unfavorable advices from abroad.

CHICAGO.

CHICAGO, February 10.—The unsettled condition of affairs on 'Change has made lively work at the banks, where margins have been sharply called down, and money continues in good, even active, demand by other classes of borrowers, particularly as the prospects are for an early spring. Loanable funds keep pace with the demand, and the condition of the finances ia good and sound. Clearings for the week aggregate, estimating Saturday, $39,000,000, which is a falling off compared with the 'average of late, but compares well with the same period last year. General* business, though slow in starting up since the holidays, is gradually becoming more lively{ and a stir in dry good* ia noticed, which inspires a belief in an active spring trade. Drugs and oils are in fair demand, and hardware is fairly animated. Groceries

prasgil

are barely steady, bat prices are not changed all other staple* are in good, fair supply and demand. Building ma* terials are firm held in anticipation of a rush to erect residences and business plaoee in j^e spring. Notifications continue to come of firms coming hen from other cities. Coal is in excessive supply, and owing to the light demand and warm weather dealers are discouraged, and prices drop steadily. The^week's business on *Change, which was begun with dull markets and high prices, increased early in activity, and prices dropped steadily, until, to-day, the lowest rate of wheat was 6Jc lower than Monday's beet quotation, and, Unlay, lowest corn notations were 4£c below Monday's best, ats dropped 2jc pork, 75c, and lard, 40c. The highest price in each case was quoted Monday, the lowest to-day. The break in provisions, though apparently a quiet one, was nevertheless significant, and the drop of 40 tents %n lard caused a sensation. With all the breaks in prices then have been no failures, and the anxiety which -usually accompanies such movements has been wanting this time. One of the reasons is tliat the bulls In this deal are generally heavy operators, while the smaller traders and the country are the bearr. No great amounts of grain have been handled by any firm, except for a short scalping deal. Stiff freight rates work in the interest of the short side, while the weather which is almost balmy, gives promise of early seeding to the farmers. Sales for the week for the March option ranged as follows: Wheat, $1.25$ to $1.31 com, 56§c to 60jc oats, 39£c to 42Jc pork, $18 to $18.75 lard, $11,021 to $11.42}. Although the range on these articles was a little lower each day, there was no pronounced sudden break, such as makes and loses fortunes in a.day. The attrition of prices was very moderately accomplished. Receipts during the week of all kinds of grain including flour, reduced to a basis of bushels, aggregated 1,848,000, and shipments 1,898,000. For the first time in some weeks the receipts therefore are exceeded by the shipments. Receipts at the same time last year aggregated only 1,345,000, while the shipments were only 1,200,000 bushels. It must be remem-

CINCINNATI.

CINCINNATI, February 10.—The feature of business this week haa been the sharp decline during the past few. days of grain. Corn has fallen with regular steps, day after day, though business has been active. Theresa a largely increased legitimate demand for corn here, coming from pointsin the Sooth. Besides that, the amusement of buying and selling futures has grown since the establishment of*the!grain call board. Hence the daily transactions are ten times what appeared a year ago. No 2 mixed corn fell to 62 Jc to-day. Wheat has also grown heavy, and though there were more sales to-day the price was drooping, Bales being made at the close at $1 34 Oats has not suffered so great a decline, the loss being but one ceBt.

Whisky has been steady in price, but fluctuating as to demand. Hogs continue high and moderately firm. Lard fluctuated, but closed firmer, at $11.05. Bulk meats and bacon have advanced in price during the week, and closed firm. The packing season soon to close will show a marked falling off from the products of last year. Money is less active, but the rates remain firm at six per cent. Eastera exchange is in fair demand, and rates of buying and selling are par. General business has not been active.

Fires.

LOUISVILLE, Feb. If.—Beaucher's chair factory in the alley between Shelby & Campbell and Green & Jefferson, was entirely destroyed by fire this morning. About that hour the policeman on that beat happened to pass the factory and seeing the light of the fire ran at once to the fire alarm box and-tried to turn on an alarm. fThe wires, however, would not work and knowing from experience that it was useless to try any more^ boxes he ran to the engine house on Main street and notified them of the fire. By the time the engine reached the fire the factory and a large twostory brick building was completely enveloped in flames and all the one engine could do was to save the surrouncing buildings. In about an hour the entire inside of the factory, together with the stock on hand, was consumed. A gieat quantity of chairs and other furniture was stored away in the building and the dry wood burned like tinder, sweeping everything clean, the one stream water which was thrown upon it being of no avail •whatever. Bntire loss is between $10,000 and $15,000 insurance, $9,000.

It is not known yet how much their liabilities are or how they will come out. Looking at the whole critically it is evident they are resolving themselves more and more into two kinds, vizj those caused by speculation, more or less illegitimate, and those which are directly fraudulent and collusive. The want of a strong, severe national bankrupt law was never more felt than at present.

W. E. HENDRICH, No. 229 Ohio Street.

The Harry at St. ST LOUIS, Feb. 10—The excitement on 'Change at the opening this morning was the most intense and demonstrative ever known. The most desperate efforts were made by both sides to conlrol the market The "longs" insisted on higher prices and the "shorts" persisting in hammering them down. Finally the excitement ran so high that a panic became imminent, then* several of the principal 'shorts' agreed to do no more trying except in settlemennt. This almost entirely stopped the trading and the excitement subsided greatly to the relief of everyboby. At the 11:30 o'clock call a motion Was put and carried that all deals should be regarded as,in settlement. Prices then advancea from one to one and a half cents and trading proceeded quietly and with decorum. No suspensions have been announced this morning and no new rumors of trouble have so far been heard.
