The writhings of the defense in the star route trial, yesterday, gave indications that there is a prospect that they will meet with their just deserts. Complaint is made of the' presiding judge, of the government, and t^very one concerned in the enforcement of "the law, all of which recalls the fact that rogues do not have great admiration for those who are prosecuting them. The most significant statement made by their attorneys is the one that they are not ready for trial. There has been much bluster heretofore from the indicted personsabout "demanding a speedy trial" and being "ready to meet their accusers."

Congress is making good headway, and if tho present rate of progress in the same direction is maintained for the next three months, there will be much accomplished that will-be beneficial both to the country and the Republican party. Yesterday the house passed the Indian appropriation bill, jzreatly reduced from tlm mated,ana oeiow tiie amount appropriated for the present fiscal year. The civil service committee is rapidly preparing a bill regulating and improving this branch of the government's service tho inaugural step has been taken toward the reduction of taxes, and a plan for thesimplilication of the Uirifl' is being perfected, and all this within a few days. Tho outlook is hopeful.

As the season has arrived for the opening of the Medical Colleges, the reports are multiplying of instances of body snatching. The practice is one from which the public mind naturally revolts and yet it is a subject that should be carefully considered. That there is need of the dissecting table in the education of- medical students is beyond dispute. The only question is as to the means used in producing subjects for the knife of the professor. In some states laws have been passed which permit the use of bodies under various circumstances. The Medical fraternity assert that wero such laws general the ghoulish work of the "roBurrectionists" would not be necessary and that the public sense of decency would not be shocked by such revelations as followed tho arrests in Philadelphia a few days since.

The Cincinnati Gazette, discussing the president's recommendations regarding civil service reform, says the great, trouble lies in the continual hounding of the executive by place hunters. TIIQ Gazette further says with much truth: "It is not-tlie president or members of congress that need to be educated up to tho standard of civil service reform, but the people. The former wouTd be ready enough, naturally, to avoid the pressure, but this pressure must be removed if there is to be a radical change in the system. A large proportion of our politicians have been educated to look for ollice as a reward for partisan services. And this is what causes the pressure. To give a diflerent kind of education, therefore, should be the objective point. And unless the people are converted to reform, all this talk will amount to little or nothing.

The Democrats in their onslaught on the "llubbell assessments," evidently had forgotten all libout the ways and means by which they obtained campaign funds this year. Senator Ilale offered a substitute for Senator Beck's resolution ordering an investigation into the "llubbell assessments," by which the assessments on the liquor leagues, and brewers, were to be inquired into. In the honse Mr. Steele had proposed to ascertain the facts regarding the manner in which the Cobden free trade club was levied upon by the Democracy. In both instances these virtuous Democrats challenged investigation of course, did they? jlqt at all. They resorted to the last

It would be well to have the investigation reach t^e assessments on the Democrats holding positions under the ^seargent'at-arms and the secretary of the senate. This certainly is within the jurisdiction of- the committee and it is certain grave abuses will be discovered which can be subjects of legislation.

The city council of St. Louis is evidently composed of men whose bumps of precaution are well developed.

This storv, published from the German of. Claire Yon Gluiner by Mrs. A. Ij. Wister, is one of the most entertaining yet given the public by that prolific translator. The interest in the graduallv orifolding plot is maintained from the first page to the last. The book is gotten up in Lippincott's best style.

PHOVEBB STORIES by LouisaM. ALcott. Roberts Bros., Boston. E. L. Godccke, Opera House bookstore, 16 mo., $1.25.

The authoress in the preface to this work, states that, being forbidden to write anything at present, the volume is a collection of various waifs and strays to appease the young people who clamor for more ,forgetting that mortal brains need rest. Anything in thestory line with the name of Louisa M. Alcott attatched to it, is sure of an. enthusiastic reception,and the present work cannot fail in this respect.

SOUTHERN LIFE

AND

CHARACTER, edited by Henry Watterson. Houghton, Mifflin & Co., Boston. J. Q.Button &Co., Central Book Store 12 mo., $1.50.

There is no journalist of the younger school more widely known or quoted than Henry "Watterson, of the Louisville Courier-Journal. While on the border line dividing the north and south, his innate love for southern life and customs, his pronounced southern sympathies, make him a recognized type of that class of civilization, noted before the war—and none the less since—for its chivalry and courtesy. Hence, no more appropriate person could be selected to edit a book on southern life and character. He maintains in his introduction that "'southem humor is anecdotal, producing such figures as Sut. Livingood Bill Arp Major Joseph Jones, of Piheviile, Ga. Rev. Hezekiah Bradley, who discoursed upon the Harp of a Thousand Strings and last, but not least, Captain Simon Suggs, of the Tallapoosa vojunteers. They nourished years ago, in the good old time of muster days and quarter racing, before the camp-meeting and barbecue had lost their power and their charm when men led simple, homely lives, doing their love making and their law making as they did their fighting and their plowing, in a straight furrow when there was no national debt multiplying the dangers and magnifying the expenses of distillation in the hills and hollows, and pouring in upon the log rolling, the quilting, the corn shucking, and the fish fry and inquisi-' torial crew of tax gatherers and detectives to spoil the sport and dull the edge of patriotic husbandry." With such a preface how could a book be otherwise than interesting?

FRONTIER AKMV SKETCHES, by Capt. James W. Steele. Jansen, McClurg & Co., Chicago. E. L. Godecke, Opera House bookstore. 12 mo. $1.50.

This is a collection of short essays, stories and descriptive sketches, all telating to life upon the borders, and written in a style of singular piquancy, freshness and originality. The author has placed himself conspicuously in the thin ranks of those who have shown oViiutj. to. handle the rich material existing in thr dents and experiences of border life. To use this material successfully in literature, rare qualities are demanded, at least there must be a fine and pure sense of humor, active and.wide-reach-ing human sympathies? and keen powers of observation and description. There are among the eighteen sketches that comprise the collection few which have not some special claim upon the interest of the reader.

DRESSED BEEF.

The Chicago Company Doing a Good Business. Special Dispatch to the Chicago Tribune.

NEW YORK, Dec. 5.—Clerk Kettleman, of AYashington Market, this morning said: "The Chicago Dressed Beef company is, I believe, doing a good business. Certainly there is room for them. At first they interfered somewhat with the trade of the old stands,-but there is not as much complaint on this score as formerly. The truth is that most of the standholders in tho market have regular customers who have traded with them for years, and those customers, after a trial of the Chicago beef, usually come to the conclusion that the butchers here can get just as good beef as the Chicago men can. This new departure has resulted in one evil, inasmuch as it has given the occupants of sidewalk stands an opportunity of disposing of their goods to a better advantage. They display the same grade of old tough beef and label it Chicago beef to account for the low price at which they sell it, but they overdo the matter, because they self at prices below those asked by the the Chicago company."

IjANGTRX'S LOVER.

"Clean Cone on the tily" is Mr. Fred. Gebhart—How He Followed Her to lloston—Jay Gould'* Son Presents the

Beauty "With #*1,000 Diamond, Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK. Dec. G.—The young man on aocount of whom Mrs. Langtry quarreled with Mrs. Labouchere is beyond doubt Fred Gebhart, a wellknown society and club man. lie is a handsome blonde, 23 vcare of age, and has, it is said, an income of $S0,000 a year left him by his father, who was a prominent New York merehapt. His father made a great fortune in real estate in this city. One half of his fortune he gave in her own right to his daughter, the beautiful Mrs. Frederick Neilson, of 100 Fifth avenue, a great society belle at one time, and, like her husband, a familiar figure in the lobbies of the opera and theatres on first nights. The other half was bestowed on his son, Frederick Gebhart, at the time in his minority but now turned 23. His father had great faith in bis son's ability to take care of tho money lie left him, and he has not been disappointed, for, notwithstanding vorxt

GEBHART IS A FREE LIVER,

he is of an economical turn of mind. Mr. Gebhart keeps a stable of racers, owning the Pelnam stable, to which belongs the crack colt Eole, said to be the best animal of her vears in training in America. He afso owns, with Mr. Arthur Hunter, Vampire and

other well known horses.3 He has frequently figured as -afritler of -his own horses in races for "gentlemen riders" only. He drives a four-in-hand and a tandem, and is the owner of a variety of coaches, carts and carriages. From-1 the first appearance of "The Lily" in this city some one of the vehicles, with fast trotters and drivers, has been at her command. His sleigh was the first in which the beaut}- ever rode, and his trotters wero the first of America she had ever sat behind.' At the Hotel Brunswick it was said that Mr. Gebliart had gone to Boston on Sunday afternoon.

Late last evening the clerks at the hostelry announced that ho had not returned. His absence and his adventures were the talk of the clubs to which he belongs, including the Union Turf and Coney Island Jockey Clubs. Mr. Wright Sanford, in alluding to the adventure of his friend, said that Gebhart, was a good fellow and he felt sorry that he had made ,sT

in following Mrs. Langtry to Boston. Pierre Lorillard was somewhat reticent about the matter. He said that Geb hart had acknowledged to him that he was clean gone on the Lily, but he never supposed that he would have carried tnings to such an extreme as to follow her to the Hub. At midnight it was reported that Mr. George K. Gould, the son of Jay Gould, made Mrs. Langtry a present of a $4,000 diamond before her departure. *. 1

Calf who Succecded In Getting tlio Privilege of Dining and Driving Her —A Novel Entertainment— Genuine Folicencn to Sing in a Comic Opera The Press Club Election—A Victory for Poker—Mr. Bennett's New Ituie on the Herald—"Keep Them Short and Make Them Witty."

NEW YORK, Dec. 5.—Among the peoplo who were put to great incon venience by the Sunday law, was Mrs. Langtry and her manager, Mr. Abbey.' Her sea son closed on Saturday night, and as she was to open in Boston on Monday, a special train was engaged which left on Sunday at noon. To avoid the possibility of trouble Mr. Abbey on Saturday afternoon sent to Police Captain Williams, asking whether there would be any objection to removing the baggage of Mrs. Langtry and her company on Sunday. The captain replied that any expressman found at work on Sunday would be arrested. Mr. Abbey, who always manages to rise to the occasion, thereupon got twenty-five coaches from a livery stable and got the trunks removed that way. If I am correctly informed the hackmen were instructed to say that they were going to a funeral, should they be stopped by policemen. Funerals being work of necessity and charity, both arc of course allowed.

Apropos of the close of Mrs. Langtry's season: Tiie gross receipts for the four, weeks reached the snug amount of $01,803, of which she receives 40 per cent, or $24,721. Now $6,lS0aweek, is not bad pay for even a star of the first magnitude, not to speak of an actress like the Jersey Lily. During her stay in the city she has studiously avoided going into society, and she has also kept at a distance the horde of fashionable young and old men, who are ever eager and anxious to ilut.tor „nu is being talked about. One of society's golden calves lias however won the privilege in some way or an other, of giving the lady a number of dinners at Delmonico's, and taking her through Central Park and on the road, on his drag several times. Of course he is the object of the most heartfelt envy of all his beaten competitors. The gentleman in question is but twentysix or seven years of age, is still unmarried, and as he has an income of over $100,000 per annum, is a star of some consequence in the firmament in which he moves.

He went on the turf towards the middle of 1881, and this year became fluite famous in the sporting world as the owner of one of the best race horses of the year. Rumor had him engaged to the daughter of the president of a leading jockey club. His enemies say that the engagement was broken oft' by the lady, because in a letter to her, inviting her to a pigeon shooting match, ne spelt pigeon pidgcon.

The most novel entertainment vet provided is on the cards for early in January. An amateur performance of the Pirates of Penzance is to be given at the Academy of Music for the purpose of establishing a free bed at the Hahneman Hospital for sick policemen. The affair is under the*patronage of distinguished society ladies. A band of genuine policemen in full uniform, and armed with their night clubs, will sing the policemen's chorus from the Pirates: "The Policemen's Lot is not. a happy one." It is said that Superintendent Walling will lead off. Tlifs ancient king of clubs ought to do well in this role. Anybody who has ever heard him sing the Marseillaise at Press club receptions about three o'clock in the morning, must have instantly perceived that the operatic stage lost-a great star, when Mr. Availing gave it the cold shoulder to develop his bicepts in the d.scharge of his dutv as "one of the finest."

The

Press

club at its annual elec

tion last week had a novel issue thrust upon it. It was whether poker playing which had become the leading institution of the concern, should or should not be made away with. The club decided in favor of the candidates for executive committee who believed in poker, and thus the pot is safe for another year. When one thinks what the Press club was and might be, and what it is, one cannot help regretting the fact that it is going to the dogs. Two or three years ago a crowd of officious nobodies managed to fight their way into office. Their behavior wassuch that the best men left. As it always is when things enter on the downward course the descent is very fast, and thus the club is rushing on an express train to the demnition bow-wows, to use Mr. Mantalini's paraphrase. But for a comparatively small number of representative journalists, the Press club is at present largely composed of Bohemians, who find its rooms a convenient place to lounge, read the papers, gossip and criticise about others, and fleece the young and innocent by means of their superior knowledge of poker and other games the interest for which centers on money stakes.

Reporters on the Herald are having a hard time of it now. Bennett's parting instruction to .his managing editor, before sailing for Europe were "Make them witty and keep them short." Thus those on the regular staff have been making the most painfully ridiculous efforts to be witty, and the'"space men" will soon be obliged

todevdte their-attention ia poker at th^ PreS ^lub, for under -the *fkeep short" rrle in force some of them do not earn their car fare-to and from the of I STARS TRAVELING IN CARS.

Tlio Frfvixto Coaclies Used by Three Prominent Actresses. v-. Philadelphia Record.

Three of the principal female, Ihcatrical'stars of'the country travel this season in private car3 especially engaged for themJ These"' include Mme. Modjeska, Mine. Nilsson and Mrs. Langtry. The star of to-day goes about in great Style, and it takes agood big bank account to back up her whims and make her feel comfortable. Modjeska is the first to take the road. She came liere in a magnificently arranged car, -the City of AYorcester, which is leased every summer to a party of gentlemen residing in 1he city of that name in the Bay state, and in which they make an annual trip to the plains and Rocky mountains. This car has been refitted by Mr. Stetson, with whom Mine. Modjeska has the contract "to do" the country. The interior has been refurnished: at an. expense of not less than $5,000. The Madame insisted upon her private ^ar, and she holds her manager strictly to the letter of his contract. Cars are rather costly affairs and eat into the .profits of the engagement. In the first place they cost $50 per day for their use, which sum goes to the Parlor Car Company's treasury, and does not include the hauling of the car about the country, which is equivalent to the fare of eighteen passengers. Sundays count the same as other days. Then there is a porter, a French cook, and servants for the madame, all of whom are under pay during the entire engagement, as well as a manager, who accompanies the star and looks after the financial interests of his employer. At the conclusion of the present engagement at the Chestnut street opera house Mme. Modjeska will have spent twij entire weeks in this city. Her car has been placed on sidings up at Belmont, while she has beeu enjoying sumptuous apartments at the Continental Hotel. The car costs just the same whether in use or not. and for the fifteen days the actress spends here Mr. Stetson will pay $750 rental to the Pullman company. At. the conclusion of her engagement the lady starts on a week's tour through the state. This is where the car and its attendant comfort come handy. During that time the country hotels will be shunned, and the Madame will eat and sleep on the rail.

AVlien the next large city is reached, and a week's stay is made, the car will be thrown upon a'siding to wait for its fair occupant to return. The City of AVorcester is the same coach in which Patti made her tour last spring. Of course, for all this heavy outlay there must be an adequate return. Proprietor Fred. Zimmerman, of the opera house, says that Modjeska last week brought $9,900 to his nobby amusement hall. AVhat proportion the star gets lie is not aware, but be presumes it is not less than thirty-five per cent, of the gross receipts. Mr. Stetson, course, receives a handsome percentage, out of which he pays the company and Zimmerman it Nixon pocket what is left. The managers all like Madjesga sheis not fretful, and does not demand outrageous things.' The lady is a hard worker and never shirks six nights and a matinee if ehp is well enough to stand upon the stage.

Next AVednesday Mme. Nilsson will come here in a private car, with French cook attachment, etc. She will give SBMSP wflf tel Bellcvucpin apartments which cost $24 per day, not including meals and attendance". In addition there is provided for her use a handsome turnout —team, footman and driver-#the best that the fashionable west end can supply. This will cost about $25 per day whether it leaves the stable or not.

Following Nilsson comes Mrs. Langtry, who will occupy the same sumptuous apartments as her predecessor, and have the same -candy team and equipagte as the queen of song. It is a very costly business, this moving of female stars about the country, but if they area success the couple of hundred dollars per day expense entailed is but a bagatelle wheu the profits are taken into consideration.

PRESENTS BY POST.

Boxes, Bundles, and Packages of Every Conceivable Description Coming and Going by Mnil. St. Louis Ulobo-Domocrat.

The mails are already beginning to show evidence of the approach of the Christmas season, and from this time forward until the 25tli of the month the postal clerk's lot will be far from a happy one. Extra hours and an extraordinary amount of work will soon be the rule in all departments. Boxes, bundles, and packages of. every conceivable kind and description now find their way into the ordinary mail, and the registered mail, is correspondingly burdened. Registered letters, containing money and postofiice money orders, show a large increase in numbers. AVith Christmas three weeks distant it seems ither early to talk about increase in tiie mail, but Uncle Sam's servants at the postotlice already emphatically realize that "Christmas is coming." Said Assistant Postmaster .Bennett yesterday afternoon: "Yesterday was the heaviest money order issuing day in the history of this office. People are already sending to their friends and families Christmas remembrances of money. Especially is this true of those who are foreign born. There were 112 foreign money orders issued yesterday, and from them some idea can be obtained of the composite character of the population of the city. The Germans lead, with 51) orders "sent to "fatherland British orders come next, and number !!9, largely sent to the "Emerald Isle the frugal Swiss sent 9 orders 5 Italian orders are next on the list, and Canada and New South AVales follow with 2 each. The total-amount of these foreign orders is $1,911.14. Yesterday's domestic money orders numbered 253, and were for $4, lt13.18. That makes a grand total of over $6,000, which is' pretty good for one day, but this record is likely to be beaten beforo the close of the Christinas season. People don't feel 'pinched by poverty so much as some times, and many of them will remember tlieir friends in this and other countries with moneyorder gifts."

He drank nearly a gallon of water to reJieve. i-his .stomaclij whicli he said was burning lip. For some time his life was despaired of, but last evening he was resting quite easy. Suffice to say he%vill not take a drink from a bottle when he does not know what it contains.

ARABI'S APPEAL.

VTritten from nis Cell to the Editor of the London Times. Arabi Pasha has written the following letter to the editor of the London Times: "Sin—I have seen in No. 1105 of the Jawaib, under the heading of the "Arrest of the Seditions in Egypt," an article saying that so many rebel officers have been seized, and so many Bedouin sheiks, and such and such a cadi, and such a deputy, and such a one of the ulema, and such a mudir, and such an officer or interpreter, or merchant or clerk, and have'been sent to prison. Now, all ye champions of liberty, if it is the soldiers who are rebel?, why have so many notables and ulemas and cadis of such different duties been imprisoned and ill-treated? And if the whole of the nation of every class was of one mind in one work, and that, the liberation of their country and its defense, why, then, are they to be stigmatized by the name of rebels? In the name of truth this is evident tyranny that they should be traited as such. Tlio war was in accordance with the laws of God and man, consonant to a solemn decree of council under the presidency of thekhedive and Dervisch Pasha, the envoy of tho sultan. And after the soldiers and'inhaliitants had left Alexandria the khedive returned and went over to those who were fighting against his country—a thing prohibited by every law. "The entire Egyptian nation was unanimous as to the necessity of suspending Tewfik Pasha. for having transgressed the prescription of the divine and highest law and demanded the continuation of the defense of the country by a decre.e which was made known to bis majesty the sultan. After that, are we rebels? I say that we were defending onr country in a way approved by the laws of God and man, and whoever says the contrary does not speak the truth, but, on the, contrary, is a slave to passion and monej'. I add that the ulema ot Islam and the Moslems of every country of the world allow that we never exceeded the limits laid down in God's book and deprecate the ill-treatment we receive, which is contrary to all justice. "O ye just men! is it fair that the sons of the country should be deprived of every office and that foreigners should take their places, together with those who have come to Egypt, like Circassians, Albanians and Bulgarians, so that even down to the lowest ranks, such as the ombasliis of the army, tbe places are given to others than the sons of Egypt? Are not Egyptians as good as ihe Bulgarians arid other foreigners? But we shall find among the champions of humanity some to defend the right against the tyranny of the time which blackens the face of'man. Aim in AIUBI, the Egyptian. "1 rom my cell at Cairo.

A MISSING PASSENGER.

Disappearance of Man During an Ocean Voyage. Special Dispatch to the Chicago Tribune.

YORK, Dec." 5.—Among the pas

sengers who left Liverpool in the Servia, which arrived here on Monday, was R. Strauss, a dealer in gentlemen's fnrnishing .goods, at No. 35 Tremont

'W'xofrtii .On coin or .tn liic °^nto

room on Monday morning the third day out the steward found that the berth had not been slept in and that Mr. Strauss was not there. The vessel was thoroughly searched, but no trace of him could be found. The only, person' on board who knew Strauss was C. P. Hatch, one of the passengers who had met him in Paris, where lie was said to have been rather eccentric in his habits. The steward and Mr. Hatch both saw Strauss in his room at 9 o'clock on Sunday night-. It is thought that he either jumped overboard in a fit of temporary insanity or fell overboard accidently. Nothing peculiar was noticed about his actions while on board the Servia.

Sudden Rise in Stock.

Wall Street News. Less than, a y6ar ago, when a A'irginia murderer had only twenty-four hours in which to prepare for tho scaffold, a clergyman wrestled with him for a long time in hopes to see him weaken and prepare his soul for the great change. The prisoner was calm, but obdurate, and the minister finally asked: "My friend, can it be that you do not see the gulf which yawns before you "Look-a-herc!" replied the man, as he squarely faced the visitor. "There's a heap of betting going on outside as to how I'll bear myself on the scaffold. As long as two weeks ago odds of three to one was offered that I'd wilt when the hour came." "Is it possible?" "And I put my brother Tom up to go around and fasten all such bets, and lie's got $1,000 depending on how I act to-morrow." "Poor man! Poor man!" "That's all right. I want to believe I have been forgiven, and I want to think I'm going straight to heaven, but I'm not going to shed tears and knock my knees together and play booby and let the crowd scoop brother Tom's pockets! Tom has stock in me and that stock is going to riz a 100 per cent.
