A special messenger should be sent from Washington to inform Ilalstead that Guiteau has left us.# He seems to entertain violent doubts on the subject.

Whatever may be the outcome of the freight-handlers' strike in New York, the men are at least displaying their good sense by adopting peaceful methods. It will be remembered that the rioters of 1877 cut their own throats.

It is .painful to state that Robeson and Whitthorne yesterday indulged in the sport of calling one another liars ond porjurors. The country, with fear and trembling, awaits the day when somebody will arise in that bear garden and call somebody else a Dodo. Nothing short of this will inaugurate an era of. personal warfare.

Senator Vest, of Missouri, has revived some unpleasant controversies by his charge that Garfield was the victim of malpractice. Vest should be suppressed. The trouble with this .great man is that he has achieved the reputation of talking well, and he fancies the country will be thrilled every time he opens his mouth. This time it is thrilled with disgust.

The Norwegians appear to be waking up to a realizing sense of the situation One of them thinks, "the King took too high wages and did toolittle work. The Norwegian Storthing, a London paper tells us, has again rejected the renewed application for an increase of the Crown Prince's allowance in view of his marriage with the Princess Victoria of Prussia. .Scandinavian legisla tors seem to think that what is enough for one is enough for two.

Robert Toombs says he is for his friend Stephens for Governor of Georgia. "Aleck," he asserts, "is all right, He never stole anything. You never heard of his stealing anything, did you? You never did, and you never will. 1 intend to write a lettei, and big one, about Aleck Stephens." Of course it can't hurt Aleck much Georgia, but a promise of that kind from Bob Toombs in any other Slate of the Union would knock a candidate below ground like a pile driver.

One of the Chinese papers gives an account of a new political association which has been formed in Japan, its objects being as follows: (1) To uphold the dignity and prosperity of the Imperial house and the welfare of tho Japanese people (2) to extend the power of the Empire by the development of the national resources (3) to encourage local government and chock the inclina tlon toward centralization (4) to regulate the right to vote at elections In proportion to the progress of the people: (5) to restrain participation in foreign inter course and devote as much attention as possible to domestic affairs (G.) to abolish the Irredeemable paper currency.

We have reason to fear that some vagrant American has smuggled a copy of the Declaration of Independence into the Mikado's domains.

We learn that a suspicious steamer, with no papers or name, was seized recently at Porto Bello, nine miles south of Panama, and towed to that harbor a few days ago, but has since been released. She had a large number of men and arms and plenty of money on board. It is believed that the expedition was about to engage in political schemes against President Guzman Blanco, of the neighboring republic of Venezuela. Her officers have been on shore drinking success in champagne to "the new President," who is said to be on the steamer. As President Blanco is reported to be preparing for war, the capture and release of this expedition may lead to further entanglements for Colombia and difficulties between the Central American republics. No doubt this information is correct. Unless the dwellers in the Central American States can have a

new President e^ery fifteen minutes they think repfi&lican institutions failure.

As doubt seems to be gathering about the exact locality of the lav« C. J. Guiteau, it will be of interest to learn the views expressed by two extreme thinkers on the subject. Bishop Robertson, of the Episcopal Diocese oi Missouri, when asked his opinion said that "if Guiteau repented and his re pentance was sincere and thorough, he would go to heaven. If not he goes to hell. He will go to neither place directly. The church of which I am member teaches that all departed spirits go to a place of waiting. There they remain until the final judgment, when their resting place for eternity is marked out for them."

On the other hand, the Cincinnati Enquirer, not a paper of any deep religious convictions, so to speak, pre diets that in about a year "the great big stories will break out. Somebody will have Guiteau boiling soap in Italy or herding goats on an island in the Pacific." Well, it doesn't make much difference, in view of the fact that Charles has been removed fiom the lecture field.

Lord Kimberley's recent statement that the conquered King*of Zululand would soon visit England is taken by certain statesmen to mean that lie will before long, be restored to his kingdom. Perhaps England is tired of keeping so many elephants in her Imperial circus-, and takes this means of working off her most troublesome Jumbo. Ceteway.o has a sou and heir, a bright boy o^fifteen, who may prov a source of danager to the English ever the claims of the Zulu monarchy are centered on his head through his father's death in captivity. There is good deal of doubt as to the precise status in law which Cetewayo will oc cupy in England. He is practically in the position of Napoleon before the passage of the act of 181G, which legalized an imprisonment that was already a fait accompli. Even if the Cape legislature ha3 passed such an act, so soon as he reaches England he will be a free man. would be rather a good idea for Mr. Barnum to get a lawyer and an interpreter, sue out a writ of habeas corpus and make Queen Victoria and the Col onial Secretary carry round the advertising boards for a sensation.

Says an exchange: Yesterday was "public buildings day In Congress, and the House contented itself with passing- only seven bills to authorize the erection of public buildings, the aggregate cost of which Is 8515,000. Strange to say there was some opposition to the bill appropriating 8100,000 for the erecting of two structures one In Abingdon, Va., and tho other in Harrisonburg, In that State. It was bold ly declared that the principal products of these thriving towns are sassafras and pennyroyal, which grow so luxuriantly in the streets that children are lost tu iii growths. The Gazetteer declares that the population of Abingdon is 1,500, and that Harrisonburg Is a "post hamlet," with no population worth mentioning. Nevertheless, each of these villages is have a public building costing S50,000. This Is simply preposterous ex travagance. It must be Inferred from the zeal of the member who pressed this and similar Jobs, as well as from.the lndlffcr once of the House to all argument, that the localities to be provided for havo no place In the River and Harbor bllj, or that these inconsiderable points have been fa vored in order to make good a "trade with their Representatives. In any aspect of the-case, yesterday's proceedings are unmistakably llavored with jobbery.

Yes, and it is just such jobbing and extravagance that react on bills substantial merit, and make good and decent enterprises come in for a shan of public distrust and contempt. The •fact is that a Representative pushing a claim for a large and thriving constit uency, must pledge himself to drain frog pond and build a post office in a desert, for some fellow member, before he can. hope to succeed.

Danger signals have been hoisted on the political seas by the New York Tinies, and the lover of his country can'detect symptoms of the decay of the Republic in the following from that journal:

The friends of populargovernment may as well sound tho tocslnof alarm. We arc fast drifting into a centralized despotism and, unless something Is done to arrest the tendency to monarchlal manners now so conspicuously apparent In our national life, we shall bo obliged to resort to the machinery of Mr. George O. Jone's party as affording us the only hope of freedom. It has beeii alleged, and with out contradiction, that when the Presl dent of the Republic sits at the head of his own table ho Is "helped" to soup, fish roast, and what not, before any guest however distinguished. This is said to be an imitation of the royal manners of effete Europe. In England, as Is notorious, the Queen finishes her dinner and Is out on tho donjon keep of the Tower beforo her table companions are half-way down the bill of fare. Tho Russian Czar, wild cats the national dishes that he hates, does not want to see the effects of these horrible compounds on his guests beforo he gorges himself, but Insists upon being served in solitary autocratic state beforo anybody else at table Is allowed to blunt the edge of Ills appetite with even so much as a spoonful of trainoil or a solitary tallow candle. It Is a servile following of such imperial examples these that has imported Into the AVhito House tho fashions of European royalty.

This is very different from the days when 'Washington and Lafayette sat down to their bacon and hard tack around the head of a barrel. We are drifting toward the rocks.

Bnskined Gladiators.

Our Continent. The leaders of what Is known as the Independent" movement among the Republicans do not thus far seem to be men upon whose staunchness and sincerity the utmost dependence can be placed. There Is a painful impression that it is a new deal rather than a new doctrine that awakens their enthusiasm. It seems to be one of those periods of political de­

Interesting Twins.

Evansvllle Tribune. The Terre Haute Express ha9 run up against thejjorrect idea upon which to establish a good newspaper. It Is evidently working for circulation, knowing that with a large circulation tho advertising business will, in a large degree, take carc of Itself. The Express has no doubt ad mired the metropolitan appearance of the Tribune, for we observe that it has fol lowed the Tribune's example by "firing" all the "ads" off the first page.

If our neighbor will but stick to that policy, we assure It by our own experience that It will pay. The Increase in the circulation of the Tribune since It has ap pcared In new clothes, adorned with new enterprise (only two weeks), has been marvellous considering the size of Evans•llle, and we have good reason to hope that our city circulation will reach 2,o00 copies dally.

The Express has Improved both In appearance and merit, an hundred fold, and tho Tribune wishes it qll the good luck In the world.

PLAYS AND FLATEBS.

Christine Nilsson, In her concorts in England, appears in deep mourning. "Taken From Life" is still the great London success. It will run a long time yet.

Mr. Lawrence Barrett and Mr. William Winter accompanied Mr. Thomas Bailey Aldrlch to Europe.

Charles Iteade and Henry Pettlt are at work upon a drama, which will shortly be produced at the Adclphl, London.

Joe Jefferson has returned frjm his trouting expedition to Maine with bronzed complexion and a magnificent collection of fish stories.

The guarantee fund for the Cincinnati Dramatic Festival amounts already near iyusoo,wu. Tiie/enUvui -will be opened, It Is thought, In December.

The French actor Delaunay, who has beon connected with the Theatre Francaiso for thirty-five years, will retire from the stage next spring.

Mrs. Langtry will shortly appear as Rosalind in "As You Like It." If her flguro is what English people say It Is, wo would like it very well—to be there.

Ristorl will make her appearance in London, under Mr. Henry Wertheimber's management, to-morrow evening. She will appear at first as Lady Macbeth "Esmerelda" has passed Its two hundred and fiiftietli performance at the Madison Square Theatre. As already stated here, this play will be kept upon the stage until the middle of October.

Mr. Alexander Salvlnl will act with Mr. J. II. Hill's now actress, Miss Margaret Mather, in Chicago, during ,August. Mr. Mllnes Levlck will also be a member of Miss Mather's supporting comjilany.

Mrs. Langtry'8 terms for her provincial engagements In England are CO per cent, of the gross receipts. It is said that her profits from seven performances given In Liverpool, amounted to about $5,500.

Mr. Thomas McWatters will serve as Miss Kate Claxton's agent during the coming season. Mr. McWatters states that Miss Claxton's profits during the last season amounted to not less than 815,000.

Mr. Alexander Stewart, the able leading actor in Mine. Janauschek's company, will go to England shortly, to make arrangements for the appearance of Mme. Janauscliek In London during next season.

An important and interesting feature of the new play which Is to be produced at tho Theatre Comlquo In August Is an abundance of the sweet old Scotch music. This will be arranged for the play by Mr. David Braham, who will not compose any new music for "The Blackbird." The overtures will-form an Integral part of the play, and will not be merely Introductions to the acts.

Among the new melodramatic plays which are to be produced during next season are the following: "Humanity," 'Mankind," "The Black Flag," "The Blackbird," "The Romany Rye" and

Taken from Life." Among the foreign actors who have been engnged to appear on ourstage during the season are Salvlnl, Mr. Wyndham, Mrs. Langtry, Mme. Modjeska, Mile. Rhea, Mile. Almee', Mile. Theo and Mr. Boucicault. Mr. Joseph Brooks and Mr. R. M. Field, both enterprising managers, have returned from Europe. Mr. Abbey and Mr. Palmer are still absent. It Is not yet known what plays Mr. Palmer will secure. The coming theatrical season promises, on the whole, to be black with the indigestible crow of melodrama.

At the close of Rossi's engagement in London Mr. John Ryder and other members of his assisting company addressed to the great Italian actor a letter In which they expressed to him their est.eem, their admiration, and their gratitude. They laid a rather significant emphasis upon his eminent talent as a Shakespearean nctor, and Rossi, lu reply to that letter, made this reflerence to Ills special ambition: "I should be proud to perform, in the original languago, the plays of my favorite author. I have long wished to dothisrand, If Providence gives me life and strength, I will accomplish my cherished purpose. The indulgence with which my recent partial attempt was acccepted Inspires mo with courage to continue." Tho following notice upon Rossi's "Lear" is taken from tho London Figaro: "Signor Rossi had sufficient confidence on tliesecond night of his engagement to drop boldly Into English. The aye, every inch a King, in act IV., was his starting-point, and from there W» the end of the tragedy he used the language of Shakespeare with the most successful result. The way tho house woke up, as it were, at the familiar sound of its own tongue was really most striking. The change seemed to electrify It, and the last two acts were played amid the most enthusiastic applause. It is a great pity that Signor Rossi did not feel equal to the effort on Monday, when all the critics were present."

.. A BLOSSOM LEGEND. Lucy M. Blinnln Our.Continent. Sit here beside me darling, In this pleas ant "children's hour," While I tell a sweet old legend of a lovely little flower

JL.

flower, that hides Its bashful .face in wildest, lowliest spot, And shuns the kisses of the sun—the fair

Forget-me-not.

Tis said that in the Eden-land the blossoms and the birds Had. bach a language of their own, and spoke In quaintest words And Eve, her waiting mother-heart on gracious cares intent, Walked lovingly among them, and named them as she went.

Beside a shaded river a little flower she found, Lifting its shrinking, blue-eyed face up from the mossy ground She kissed and called It"Bloom of Heaven It answered to her call— And of Eden's wealth of sweet things she loved it best of all. Alas .'one day poor sin-bowed Eve, with sorrow-streaming eyes. Went sadly down her 'garden walks—banished from Paradise I The roses blushed and turned aside—when hark, in accents sweet, "Forget-me-not." was faintly breathed in whispers at her feet.

'Twas her little "Bloom of Heaven" that spoke she caught the tiny spray And pressed it to her breaking heart to soothe its pain away 'Forget-me not,' art thou, my flower for thou alone, of all That I have loved, remember me, nor scorn me for my fall!" The steadfast blossom lived for her—it gave her all Its bloom— It whispered comfort when she died—It grew upon her tomb But when the sad, distressful days of crime and shame were come, The pretty blossom bowed her head, dismayed and hurt and dumb! For long, long years her voice was hush ed, when, one midsummer day. Upon the hill of Galilee a child went forth to play The waiting blossom heard His step—she cried aloud In bliss,— As she felt the loving pressure of the little

Christ-child's kiss! And the legend tells us, darling, that the child whose tender heart, Loyed all of earth's sweet mysteries and claims in each a part, May on the brightmidsummer night, the

Queen Night of the year, Hear all the pretty blossoms tell what have told you here.

A woman in Laurencevllle, Quebec, 70 years old, recently gave birth to a child who bids fair to live to comfort its parents in their "declining years."

Sir Garuet Wolseley, who Is certallr competent authority, 6tated in a recent, letter that ninety per cent, of the crime In the British army could be traced direct ly to strong drink.

A recent visitor to Mark Twain thus de scribes once more his sluggish speech, ev ery word being deliberately uttered "not as though It were weighed before delivery but rather as though it had come a great distance and was tired."

The death Is announced at Blaucoul France, of M. Mlnal, one of the last survivors of the first Napoleon's Moscow campaign. M. Mlnal was present at Boro dlno, and entered the Kremlin with the French Emperor. He died at the age of W, with faculties unimpaired.

A strange woman met a littto girl In Rondout and asked her If she didn't want a nice dolly. The little girl said she did and the woman gave her a four-days-old baby, which the delighted little girl at once took home to show mama. Mama was thunderstruck, and nobody yet knows whose baby it is.

Eugene Field Is a bad boy, who says of sweet Phoebe Couzins: "Miss Couzins dresses well, but her personal appearance is by no means as elegant as Elizabeth Cady Stanton's or as charming as Lillie Devereaux Blake's. She has a masculinc cast of features, and, Dil iinmortales! very pronounced mustache."

Wandering seems to bo hereditary in the Ledyard family. The New York Her aid correspondent recently met at Irkutsk, Dr. Ledyard, an American dentist, last from San Jose, Cal., who with his wife and child had come to Siberia via China, to practice Ills profession. He claims to be a descendant of the famous traveler.

George William Curtis, thirty years ago asked Bancroft how far ho proposed to continue his history of the United States, and the reply was: "If I were an artist painting a picture of this ocean my work would stop at the horizon. I can see no further. My work will end with the adoption of the Constitution. All beyond that isexperlment."

Robert Emory Pattlson, Democratic candidate for Governor of Pennsylvania, Is described as a pleasant-mannered rather quiet young man, quick to see a point, careful lm making a decision, and hard to change when lie hns once "made up his mind." He is more than six-feet tall, stoops slightly, has a dark complexIon, black hair and eyes, and wears small mustache.

A recent London letter in the Cincinnati Enquirer says of Sarah Bernliardt's husband: "One look straight In Domain's eyes Is enough to convince the most skeptical that Bernliardt's husband is nobody's fool. He Is a man of strength, physically and Intellectually. As for Sarah—well, If she was sixteen, Just out. of a convent, and this was the first man who ever conjugated that everlasting verb, 'to love,' to her, she could not be more than she is. No, sir. It is postively delicious to see such an abjeet return to Arcadian flrpt principles. They only want shepherd's crooks, with the blue ribbons tied on them, to be tho Boeotian lovers of a Wat teau fan."

Herbert Spencer will sail for this country on the 15th of Augusut by tho Sorvia, and upon his arrival will be tho gnast of Dr. Youmnns, of New York. Among his fellow-passengers, who are also London friends of his, will be Louis Sterne, brother of Simon Sterne, of New York, and Dr. Morrell Mackenzie, the leading English practitioner In throat diseases. Dr. Spencer will remain about three months in the country, and will avoid public appearance and lionizing as much as possible, but he is expected to be present at the meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science at Montreal. Mr. Spencer will travel quite extensively In this country, Hs is dreading the ocean passage, as he suffers seriously from seasickness, but on his lost voyage to Egypt he suffered less than lu former experiences of the salt water, and Is hoping for a tolernble voyage..

The German Government is reported to be negotiating for the purchase of the palace on tlieUnter den Linden, at Berlin which was owned by the late Prince Frederick of the Netherlands. It adjoins the palace of the Emperor, and Is needed for the purpose of enlargement. The price set upon It Is 1.300,000 marks, and this the German monarch regards as too high.

"I'm afraid the patronage will not pay the expenses," replied the official. "I tell you a heap of people would get on anil off at them corners," urged the farmer. "Well, how many of your neighborhood have passed over" the road this year?" "How many? Well, there's the old man Skinner for one. He hasbeen to Jackson twice that I kitbw of. Then there's Aunt Deborah Smith, who goes down to Fort Wayne every spring and fall. Then we've got several young men who allersgo up to Lansing when there's a circus.

At Cologne, John L. Stoddard and

his photographer, Mr. Black, visited the church containing, among other bones of eleven thousand

containin

relics, the irgins. Mr. Stoddard was deter mined to have photographs inade.of the saintly skulls and bones, and secured the sacristan's permission by a goodly fee. Unfortunately, however, as the church is dimly lighted, a long exposure of the photographic plate was necessary, and the saciistan's agonv of mind lest some superior should enter and discover his lax conduct, together with his frantic efforts to show the relics to a number of English tourists without placing himself or the travelers between the camera and the virgins' ghastly relics, fairly conulsed both lecturer and photographer.
