JOHN McCULLOUGH.

Losing Ground Physically as Well as Blentally. NEW YOBK, N. Y., August 18.—The Tribune this mornlpg says: John Me Collough, in the Bloomingdale asylum, is gradually losing all remembrance of his old days on the stage. Captain Connor, of the St. James hotel, his old business 'manager, goes regularly to the asylum to see McCuuough. The captain thinks the old .actor is losing ground physically as wpl} as n^entally. He has come ,to think that he owns Bloomingdale, as a gift from friends interested in seeing him happy in his old age. He no. longer alludes any way to the stage or as he used to do, 'engagements which, he must start away to fill. Occasionally he wants his]haggage packed up to go to Chicago or: Cleveland, but shortly foi^ets all all about it and is not surprised or angered if he finds his orders have not been executed. Some times McCullough, lying in his room, will burst out in recitations of poems or bits of the plays in which he has at different times appeared. Bat tJiis is the only feature of his present eondUion to connect him with hiB old triumphg. When Captain Connor called last night he found McCullough ^almost indifferent to his presence, so much so that it was. difficult to determine whether or not he recognized him.

GENERAL QRANT'S MEMOIRS.

^k.n Enprmons First Edition Now In the Printer's Hands. New York Sun.

The first edition of the "Personal Memoirs of U. S. Grant," is 150,000 copiesf Chas. L. Webster & Co., the publishers, s&y they may .add 50,000 copies to it This edition is now in the hands of the printers, J. J. Little & Co., 8 Astor Place, who are printinj^the book as rapidly as is consistent with good work. A second edition is already made necessary by the large number of subscriptions received, and the presses will be set to work upon it as soon as they have struck off the last page of the second volume of theHirst edition. This will be in about three weeks. The second edition will in any event*be as large as the first

Although the printing is being done by a single firm, the work of binding 400,000 volumes would tax the resources of any establishment for nearly half a year. Messrs. Webster &.Co. therefore asked for bids for binding for several of the best binderies in the city.

The first volume of the first edition will not be delivered until December, thdugh it will probably be ready about the middle of November. December was set as the month- of publication, and the date will not be changed. The second volume will not be ready for delivery until March next.

The orders for the book have been com ing in very steadily, the daily average, being in the neighborhood of 5,000. Thi death of General Grant did not make a perceptible increase in the number of orders. Since the burial of the general in New York city the orders from the west have come in faster than before, although they have always been in excess of easj ern orders. The south is of ordering, the ageuiu fijl'VTIginia and Westyirgini" ^pTiHiiii 111 in I they had recelve^Sroscriptions for 7,000 sets in two states within three weeks. Already, four months before the delivery of the firet volume, 300,000 sets of two volumes each have been ordered. This large number does not inclpde foreign orders. Mr. Wedster sailed for England on the 1st of August to complete arrangements for the publication of the book in that country. Several large firms have applied for the privilege of publishing it. The book will be translated^ into French, German, Spanish, and Italian. The translations will be made abroad. Even the plates for the English edition will be made in that country. The publication of the book abroad will be hastened, but will hardly be simultaneous with its appearance here. "The report published recently that it as not yet settled in how many volumes the Memoirs should appear is incorrect," said the cashier of C. L. Webster & Co., yesterday. "The entire manuscript for both volumes was in Mr. Webster's hands on the Friday before General Grant died. Mr. Webster took the 'galley proofs' of the last fifty pages to Mt. McGregor on that day, and showed them to the general. The general himself wrote the manuscript of the first volume, and we transcribed it-for the printers. The second volume was dictated by the general to our manager, Mr. Hall. It was all in our hands by the 17th of July, sufficient for .two volumes of about six hundred pages .each. General Grant and Mr. Webster corrected the proofs of the first volume, and the general saw the proofs of the second volume, though he did not correct them. The manuscript brings the story down to the end of the warj and not to the day of the general's death, as one leport had it We shall hardly make any change in the work, no matter what may be discovered among the general's papers."

C. L. Webster & Co. have taken every •recaution to prevent the book being sold iy the book, trade. Each volume has a. private mark upon it, by which it can be traced to the general agent through whom the canvassers were supplied. Eaj vasser is under^ontr^ii«|^p*^|^j.njsj)1 the book^^J^^jJI^nd is liable for damagfjor breaking it. Several books appeared with titles nearly approaching the title of the genuine book.

Mrs. Grant is to receive 75 per cent, of the profit on the book in America, and 85 per cent, of that abroad.

IMPROVING RIVERSIDE PARK.

What the Board of Park Commissioners Have in View—The-Guard. NEW YORK, N. Y., August 18.—A strong breeze from the Hudson river scattered dust among the visitors at the tomb of General Grant this morning, and made their sightseeing difficult. There Were about fifty women and children grouped near the door Of the tomb. An equally large number of young men and boys loitered under the trees or leaned against the fence which divides Camp Grant from the rest of the park, watching the soldiers cook their midday meal. Several employes of the park department were picking up stones and removing them in wagons, and preparing the various entrances to the park in expectation of a repetition of yesterday's enormous crowds. Despite the efforts of property owners along the streets leading to the tonfb, there are still a numbe/ of cheaply-built board booths selling eatables and liquors. At the meeting of the board of park commissioners to-day definite plans were adopted for completing the work on the temporary vault in which the body of General Grant lies, and for laying out walks and otherwise improving the part of Riverside park in the neighborhood of the tomb. An area of four or five acres adjacent to the tomb will be sown with wheat. This is the very best way of preparing new ground for turf. Early next spring grass seed will be sown. On the sloping ground at the rear of the vault trailing or running vines will he planted and flower beds will be laid out and trees planted at the most suitable spots. Policemen will be kept on duty at the tomb to preserve order as long as the present rush of sight-seers continues. There has, however, been no call for the services ox these policemen. The people who visit the place are very orderly and quiet

A correspondent of a Chicago paper, wjjo saw the "School for Scandal" $t a local theater the other night, protests against the "indelicacy" of "these modem plays,'" and considers it "a_sad disgrace that 8tich a man as the writer of this vile, senseless trash should disgrace the ofece of conynander-in-chief of the army of the United States."

SHREWD SCHEME TO FRAUD A BANK.

DE.

The Sharper Tapping a Telegraph Wire to Get the Calls—An Operator's Signature. Boston Special.

A fraud was perpetrated on the Sandy Eiver National bank of Farmington, Me., two or three days ago. A man describing himself as Walter W. Wanser, Jr., of Portland, deposited $1,500 in the Exchange bank of this city, for which he obtained a certificate of deposit, and signified his desire to have it paid in Farmington, Me., and the Sandy Kiver bank was so notified by the. Exchange bank. Wanser then went to Farmington and had his certificate of deposit cashed. Having thus established his identity and the fact that he had had dealings with a reputable bank in Boston, he soon afterwards said that he expected $5,000 more to be paid into the Exchange bank, of which the Farmington bank would be notified by '|i telegraph. Some time afterward the telegram came, but in ordinary language instead of cipher, as is usually the case in such transactions between banks. The cashier at Farmington did_ ly paid

August 11, and num-

691, and Wanser disappeared.

After the check was delivered the cashier had doubts about the transaction, and telegraphed to Boston, receiving answer that the exchange bank knew nothing of Wanser beyond the first certificate of deposit. Steps were taken to stop the negotiation of the check, but up to date it has not been heard from.

It was at first supposed that the forged dispatch directing the payment of $5,000 had been sent by a confederate in Boston. The telegraph company, however, could

f"armington

et no trace of the message outside the office. Yesterday it was discovered that the telegraph wire between Portland and Farmington had been cut in the woods two or three miles outside of the latter place, and a loop putin. A telegraph instrument was found concealed near by. The sharper had things with great skill. He must have listened to what was said over the wires for along time to get the calls, message numbers, operator's signature, etc., right, in order not to excite the suspicion of the Farmington operator. When he seat his bogus message it was correctly numbered to follow that last sent from the Portland office, and the operator's private signature of that office was affixed to it.

The Meaning of Maxinkuckee. Logansport Chronicle. EDITOR CHRONICLE :—Dear Sir: Since my article of recent date in your paper, I wrote to an old friend of mine, now a resident of Detroit, Michigan, and who at one time was an interpreter also of the Pottawattomie tribe of Indians, Mr. E. V. Cicott, a relative of George Cicott, after whom Lake Cicott was named. My object in writing was to ascertain the right meaning of the word Maxinkuckee, and I give you his version, to wit

DETBOIT, Aiignst 8, 885.

M? DEAR FRIEND: Your letter just received and I, with pleasure, hasten to answer. "Sin" means Btoue or pebble. "Koe" means land, as 1 always understood their meaning, aud reoollect that in 1881 General William Marshall, then Indian agent, your venerj^la^^jj^qi Colonel John visited i*6!

pw~

Near its borders was

iW'Triii in

village. The object of

Trar visit was to see if the goveAment contractors fulfilled their contracts in properly plowing and fencing the land allotted to each village, so that the Indians could plant corn, etc. My understanding of the meaning of Mac-sin-knek-kee meant Pebble Boa oh Lake, or Pebble Bottom Lake. It is a great many years since I hare spoken Pottawattomie. I left Logansport hi 188(, and I may be mistaken as to the meaning of Mac-sin-kuok-kee, though I do not'think I am, Sincerely yours,

E. V. CIOOTT.

So you see, Mr. Editor what a diversity of opinion there is as to the right meaning of Maxinkuckee or Big Medicine, I call it. All I wish is that some one Will dime to the front and establish the right meaning of the lake's name.

Where Ignorance is Bliss. A 'little knowledge is a dangerous thing among the Nevada Piute Indians, They recently .killed a squaw and her little boy because she could speak French, which they thought was the language of a witch... Her husband assisted at the sacrifice of his wife and child.
