What Has Become of ISadeau? New York Com mere ir. I Advertiser. The mental suffer ng of the General, especially during the latter days, was very great, and he was moody and despondent. As ho himself said, he had many things to do before he passed away, and the thought that they could not bo accomplished, worried him. There was one thing, however, th t ho was always thankful for, and he said so time and again, and that was that he had lived long enough to complete, revise and clearly establish the title of his book. In connection with this fact, it has been remarked by many that nothing has of late been heard of Gen. Adam Badeau, formerly one of the most intimate friends of the family, and the author of. until now, the most authentic history of the General’s operations during the war. Since the time when he, with bag and baggage, moved out of the house in East Sixty sixth street, where he was living, his whereabouts have not been generally known. It is not probable that he will attend the funeral but as a spectator. He has not been at Mt. McGregor during the life of the General, nor since his death. FT. STEPHENSON MONUMENT DEDICATED. Address bj Ex-President Haves— Beautiful Tribnte to tiie Memory of Gen. Grant, Cleveland, 0., Aug. I. — At Fremont, 0., today, a soldiers monument, erected by the people of Sandusky county, was unveiled with imposing ceremonies. The shaft stands in Stephenson Park, on the site of Ft. Stephenson, where, on Aug. 2, 1813, Major George Croghan, with ono hundred men, defeated 12,000 British and Indians, under Proctor and Tecumseh. There was a great crowd of people in town, and ex President Hayes was president of the day. At 10 o'clock a procession, composed of military and civic societies from various sections of the State, paraded the streets. Among the distinguished guests present wero ex-Governor Charles Foster, Senators Sherman and E. I?. Payne, Judge Foraker, Gen. John Beatty and Gen. M. D. Leggett. The exercises began at 1:30 o’clock, ex-President Hayes delivering the following speech: “Fellow Citizens —The occasion which has brought together this large assemblage lias a twofold interest. On the spot where Maj. George Croghan and his gallant little band, seventy-two years ago, defended Fort Stephenson against a largely superior force of British regulars under Proctor, and of Indians under Tecumseh, the people of Sandusky county have built a monument in honor of their fellow citizens, living and dead, who faithfully served in the army of the Union. The date and place of our meeting, and the unveiling of this soldiers’ monument, remind us of two inspiring events —one of limited and perhaps local significance merely, and the other of a character which rivets tho attention of all mankind. The sunplo ceremonies we have witnessed in this place, on this anniversary, recall the men, the events and the scenes of the old pioneer days of the Northwest Territory. They also vividly recall those never to be forgotten heroic days of 1861-65, when the great questions of liberty and of national life wero submitted to the God of battles. “Intimately associated with Croghan’s victory are the favorite names of the pioneer history of the West. General Harrison, Commodore Perry, General Cass, General McArthur, Col. Richard M. Johnson, Governor Meigs, Governor Tiffin, and a long list of other able men whose names were household words in the homes of the first settlers of this region—were all closely identified with the military events which hinged upon tho brilliant victory which was gained here, and which decided the struggle for tho vast and noble territory which is tributary to the great lakes of the Northwest. That Ido not overstate the importance of the brilliant event which gives a place in history to our little city of Fremont, I read you a few paragraphs from letters to one of our committee by Col. Charles Whittlesey, of Cleveland, and by General Sherman.” The ex-President here read interesting extracts from letters written by Colonel Whittlesey and General Sherman, the former reviewing the history of the gallant defense of Fort Stephenson, and the latter pointing out itgimportar.ee in securing to the American people the mastery of the West, which, lie says, from that day to this has been the bulwark of the Nation. The speaker then read a letter, dated July 14, written at the dictation of General Grant, acknowledging the invitation to be present on the accasion, and also the kind expressions which the note of invitation contained personal to himself. lie then continued: “Since this letter was written the great soldier has been relieved from tho suffering which he bore with such patient and noble fortitude. The Nation he did so much to save is tearfully hut gratefully and proudly preparing to perform the last sad offices in honor of her matchless warrior and best-loved citizen. The monument we dedicate here, every monument to the citizen soldier of the Union, is a monument that reminds us of the deeds and virtues of General Grant. Although trained as a soldier, tho war found him a citizen —it made Him again a soldier, and in his last years he was oneo more a citizen. He was simple, sincere, just, magnanimous and pure, and to these high qualities were added by nature, with lavish prodigality, an iron determination, an unyielding tenacity of purpose, and a serene and heroic mastery of all his faculties in the midst of responsibility, danger .and death, which fitted him above any other living roan for the command of the Grand Array of the Republic, in whose keeping were the vast and vital interests of our country and of mankind. Our monument in Fort Stephenson Park, in Fremont, to the Union soldiers of this county—indeed, every monument to the Union soldier—is also a monument to General Grant. In like manner, every monument to General Grant will be a monument to the men of the armies he led. His name and famo and their name and fame are forever linked together. Our country, with n government free and popular, but strong enough to maintain its authority and to defend its life; with a people all of whom under the law “have an equal start and a fair chance iu the race of life,” bound together—“an indestructible union of indestructible States,’’ with a present population, wealth, power and prestige beyond any other civilized nation, and with a future far transcending in its possibilities all that the world has known in the past—this country is at once the reward and the monument of the Union soldiers and of their great and beloved commander, General Grant.” Capt. Joan W. Lemmon, of Clyde, next gave an historical sketch of Sandusky county's soldier dead. After General Hayes had read letters of regret from President Cleveland and Gen. John C. Fremont, Capt. A. C. Kemper, of Cincinnati, read an origiual poem: General Cox, the orator of the day, spoke next General Cox confined his remarks principally to Ohio’s record in connection with the war of 1812. He paid a touching tribnte to General Grant. He closed by calling attention to the illustrious services of Genorals McPherson and Hayes, both of whom were residents of Sandusky county.

Hanlon hit safely, then Radford fumbled Wood’s hit, allowing Hanlon to score.

The police could not control the crowd, which encroached almost upon the diamond at times. The Chicago players were the first at the bat. New York started out with a winning lead.

For other points on the steamer’s route mail, however, will bo received at the steamship company's office and forwarded as usual.” The refusal was brought about by Postmaster sending mail, consisting of twenty-five Inters, to the company's office, in charge of a clerk who had been instructed to proceed this morning aboard the steamer Colima with them as baggage. This action was taken by direction of the Postmaster general, who sent the following dispatch this morning: “Washington, Ang. 1. “Samuel W.

Preparations for the Re-Establishment of Scribner’s Monthly. New York Commercial Advertiser. We learn from trustworthy sources that Messrs. Charles Scribner's Sons are already making preparations for the establishment of a new magazine, of the first class, to be called Scribner's Monthly. When the Scribner's sold their interest in the magazine formerly known by that name, but now called the Century, agreed, after the usual custom, not to embark in any new magazine enterprise until after the lapse of a specified time. That time will expire, as we understand, during the year 18.86, and it is the purpose of the firm to establish its new magazine next year. Tho beginning of a modern magazine of the first class involves so much time consuming preparation that even this early the Scribners are busily engaged in the work. Mr. W. A. Peyton, formerly publisher of the World, is employed, we learn, as business manager of the new enterprise. Our information is that the policy of the magazine will be to. publish comparatively few pictures and only those of the best kind. Its aim will be to represent literature with art as an adjunct, rather than to represent art primarily. No public announcement Ims as yet been made of tho fact or tho plans, probably because so much yet remains to be done before the preparations will be complete. But the facts hero stated have come to us from several independent, and well informed sources. It is whispered that certain unpublished letters and biographical materials relating to Thackeray, which have been jealously withheld from the public until now, will constitute a principal literary feature of the early numbers. Tlie Philosophy of tlie Now School. Undertone in San Francisco Chronicle. They are always pitching in about the gentleman of the old school, his excessive graciousness, his unfailing politeness, his knack of flattering women, and his numerous genteel attributes. This is all nonsense. We’ve got to meet the times. We are not living in the old school; we have neither time nor occasion for its stiff backed eccentricities. Nowadays, the man who kisses a lady's hand, even if he do it over so gracefully, always is given to understand that it is a waste of raw material. But it is awfully pretty and complimentary, all the same—for once. As tor the kiss on the forehead, there are few ladies who appreciate it. They think it means that they are too old to be kissed on the lips, or too ugly, or too something or another that hurts their vanity. All women like to be held in respect, but you roust not confuse tho kinds of respect in this matter. There is a respect given to age that says, “You are old enough to be my mother,” that only very old ladies enjoy. There is the respect that says, “You are very plain, but I really do like you," that is annoying. There is the respect that says, “You are charm ing, pure, and I could love you, if you only would let me,” that simply makes tho ugliest man adorable and the wickedest man delightful. Indeed, all the delightfully wicked men are adorable, mainly because they can make a

woman believe she is pure and immaculate, and —so different from all other women. But they are just tho same as the other men, nevertheless. “WORKING UP” ON THE STAGE. Experience of an Amateur Actor Who Tried to Follow the Advice Given Him. Now York Mail and Express. Professionals, who have been on the stage for vears, make it a rule to cry out against amateurs. I his is nonsense and prejudice. If there aro to be actors, there must aUo be amateurs, or, in other words, beginners. How else shall the ranks be recruited! Stage aspirants are invaribly greeted by managers with a stereotyped, threadbare, ami at present absurd bit of advice, which is, “Begin at the bottom and woik up the ladder.” This was sage counsel at one period. It would be so still were it only practicable. But with tlie disappearance of stock companies it is not practicable. Managers may point out a means of getting a beginner on the lowest rungs of the ladder, but they cannot show him satisfactorily how to reach the top. and merely because they do not themselves know. They may deluge him with advice, tlie mockery of which will soon be discovered if he attempts to follow it. Then, and then only, will he form some idea of the stage as it exists in America to day. Let ns take an example which will illustrate, to a certain extent, dozens of cases. Some five or six years ago a young man called on one of our best-known New York managers, tho director of a leading theatre. Tlie young feiiow's friends, having seen him in private theatricals, had endeavored to convince him that he possessed unusual ability. But he was a sensible chap, and while he did not place much faith in the laudations of prejudiced well-wishers, he had a certain amount of confidence in himself, and he was honestly, not foolishly, in love with the art of acting. The manager to whom he went received him twice, very coolly and with evident discouragement. At a third interview he invited his caller into the theater (it was 11 o’clock in tho morning) and, as if to effectually annihilate him, said that he would give him five minutes in which to jump up on the stage and show' what there was iu him. The young man walked out upon tne boards, and. instead of an allowance of five minutes, he was listened to for three-quarters of an hour, the verdict being that he possessed all tho qualifications necessary for future success. 'Die manager, to prove tne strength of his convictions, offered the aspirant a position for the season in his own company. What was the result? The beginner’s first part consisted of not quite a dozen lines. He was on the stage each evening for just five minutes, and the play ran for over one hundred nights. His second part (there were only two productions during the season) was not much better than the first It. being a rigid law of the theater that actors should not stand in the wings during a performance, he had no opportunity to learn anything from observing the old members of the company at their work. There had been but four weeks’ rehearsals of the two dramas produced, and he picked up only a few points at these periods, owing to the fact that actors do very iittlo acting at rehearsals. The ond of the season, therefore, found him almost where he had started at the beginning. In other words, he had acquired nothing during his year upon the stage which he did not possess prior to his public appearance. The year was as good as lost. You will say that he had gained a professional footing. It was weak indeed, for when he applied to other managers, they desired, naturally, to know wh at roles he had previously appeared in, and having been informed, they replied invariably that those parts were no criterions of ability, and they could not intrust him with responsible roles on tho strength of them. Nor would they afford him an opportunity to display his talent at a private rehearsal. And they were perfectly justified, for a manager’s time is generally too valuable to be utilized in such a way. Well, to finish with our young friend, he continued in the profession for four years, playing anything he could lay hands on (and playing it pretty much as he pleased), and then seeing only remote possibilities of achieving importance, he became disgusted and discouraged, and turned his attention to mercantile pursuits. What he had accomplished, so far as acting was concerned, in his four tiresome years, ho was capable of accomplishing the first day he set his foot upon the stage. Perhaps you will now understand how easy it is to advise an ambitious individual to “begin at the beginning and work up.” You wiil also understand that it is well nigh impossible' to “work up.” It was possible when stock companies were the rule, not tho rare exception. Then a beginner had a glorious opportunity, inasmuch as ho frequently played three arid four parts a week, and was certain, during tho course of a season, to capture somo role which would enable him to demonstrate whether bo possessed ability or not. All that lias been changed, and a young actor, in this era of traveling combinations, usually meets with the samo fate which befell our ambitious friend. Here, then, we will explain in what way a dramatic college can accomplish a vast amount of good. Poisons—Paris Green. Country Gentleman. Paris green is so deadly a poison that some persons think it should never be used to kill insects on growing crops. Some go as far a3 to refuse eating potatoes altogether, since it issocommonly employed. A few prominent journals favor its prohibition by law. It cannot be questioned that serious injury, and sometimes fatal results, have occurred from employing it. Those who apply it are often careless, and allow tho wind to blow tlie dust into their nostrils, or they breathe the minute portions which rise in the air in mixing it. In one case a poor fence between a pasture and potato patch allowed a herd of cows to break in, and several died from eating the poison. Animals have been poisoned from the vessels containing the arsenic, carelessly used for feeding. A field of potatoes ou tho windward side of a vegetable garden caused some of a family to become poisoned by eating the vegetables which had received some of the Paris green from the wind. __ Such accidents, although few and far between, show the importance of great caution. Tho same care is required in the use of powerful appliances or machinery of any kind. Steam engines sometimes destroy life, but men continue to make and use them. Fatal accidents occur on railroads, but we aro hardly willing to abolish them. Barbed-wire fences injure cattle and horses, but they have proved too useful and efficient tor farmers to give them up. There is no necessity for accidents from Paris green with proper care. Millions of persona eat the tubers of potatoes unharmed, foi the poison, being insoluble, cannot enter them, and there is enough iron, the antidote, in all soils to neutralize any portion which may reach the earth. The chief danger is. that when people become familiar with anything, they grow careless in its use. It is important, therefore, to continue the constant caution which is commonly used at first, but too often relaxed afterward. Professor Riley's Locust Banquet. National Hepufilicun. Professor Riley, the entomologist, has had to stand a good deal of chaffing upon his cicada diet, hut the agriculturists who wero here the other day took the palm for guying from the newspaper men. The visitors were given a dinner at the Ebbitt by Commissioner Dolman and his staff. There the conspiracy culminated. “You may giro me a locust stew in milk to commence with,” one of the guests said gravoly, in a full firm voice to the waiter at his elbow. The darkey looked mystified, but passed to the next and asked, “What’ll you have, boss?” “I’ll take deviled locusts," was the solemn reply. “Scolloped locusts,” said Number Three. “A little locust flavored with roach,' was tho fourth order, ami still not a smile. The waiter hesitated. “Boss, he asked, “is all this on the bill?” “Certainly,” was the response. “Boss, please call me this in plain English, so I can ax the cook.” So the perplexed African was sent back to tho kitchen to find out if the Ebbitt larder contained any cicada septendecim or tredecim. lie returned in a few minutes and announced, with elaborate flourishes, that “do cicadas had been out two weeks, sah." By this time the whole body of agriculturists was thoroughly alive to the situation. Prof. Riley could hold in no longer. “This thing has gone far euough,” he almost shouted. “Gentlemen, I’ll set up the wine, and you’ll tako something to eat besides locusts.” Beets as a feed for cows giving milk have the advantage over other roots that they do not taint tho milk, but impart richness aud
