rarnellltes Roughly Handled by MeCarthylU m for Insulting? Dillon and O'Brien. Dublin, Dec 2. A disgraceful scene occurred to-day at the railway station in Limerick, growing out of tho antipathy entertained between the two factions for each other. The McCarthyites had been holding a convention at Limerick, and among the prominent .speakers present were Mr. William O'Brien and Mr. John Dillon. After the business of the convention had been concluded a large number of those present escorted Messrs. Dillon and O'Brien to the station. A large crowd of Parnellites had gathered at the station with the evident intention of insulting the two McCarthyite leaders. When Messrs. Dillon and O'Brien arrived at the station tnoy were greeted with boots and rolls, and many opcrobrions epithets were hurled at ibem. Tho McCarthyites who had accompanied Messrs. Dillon and O'Brien wero naturally Highly indignant at the treatment accorded them. Most of them carried heavy walking-sticks, and before the Farxiellities realized their intentions they swooped down in a body upon the insnltera of their leaders. The latter resitted as best they could, and for a time the scrimmage waa a lively one. Many of the Parnellites were hurt, and several were so badly injured that it waa found necessary to remove them to the hospital, to allow of their -wounds being attended to. At tho Limerick convention to-day Mr. Dillon was presented with a number of addresses from evicted tonants. In a speech lie said that if he found that the majority of the nation was against him he wonld instantly retire from public life, but his opponents represented only a small minority in Ireland and a still smaller minority in America. Mr. O'Brien, who followed, said that the Parnellites were allied with the government, and talked as if Mr. Gladstone's home-rule bill was a frightful coercion act. and as if it was the duty of every honest Nationalist to oppose the "diabolical" design of this Liberal ogre. It was possible that Mr. Gladstone, on again taking otlice. would not fulfill his promise If he O'Brien would help to drive him from otiice. But there was stilldanger that Mr. Gladstone would not succeed in the elections if the English electors wero misled by the Parnellite factionist cries. THE KAISER'S FREAKS. Acts and Words That Afforded Grounds for Humors as to Ills Sanity. EpocUl to the Indianapolis Journal. T ... Tl o TV A 11 the Kaiser's sanity have aroused considerable interest here. These appear to emanate from Socialist sources in Berlin, although it cannot be denied that in circles 'undoubtedly loyal to the Ilohenzollcrns and to royalty in Germany the Kaiser's 'froaks have, for some timo, created crave anxiety. The announced publication of his book of sermons delivered during his yachting excursion last summer has given iresh impetus to talk about tho condition of the imperial brain. People recall that the story told in Paris newspapers at the time, aliened that tho Emperor dressed himself like a bishop, and delivered a midnight sermon to the crew. This was denied. But now it appears that the Kaiser did preach sermons, and this is regarded as corroborating the remainder of the sensational story about his frantio conduct on the yacht. The Freissingo Zeitnng asserts that Emperor William's speech, made a week ago, on the occasion of the administration of the oath of allegiance to recruits of the guard, really contained the following: "Keemits, you have, before priest and altar, worn fealty to me. You are too yonng to understand tho trne meaning of the words in which you have sworn, but be diligent in following the instructions which will be given. You have, my children, sworn allegiance. That means that you have given yourselves to mo, body and soul. Yon have only ono enemy that is my enemy. In the rresent socialist agitation 1 may order you. -which God forbid, to shoot down your relatives your brothers, oven your parents and you must obey without a murmur." ONE-FOUND NOTES. Mr. Goichen Proposes to Issue 38,000,003 of Them to Increas the Stock of Gold. London, Dec. U. Rt. Hon. Geo. J. Goscheu, Chancellor of the Exchequer, to-day again addressed a meeting of tho leading bankers and merchants on the financial question. Ho entered into a detailed statement of his proposed scheme for increasing the stock of gold in the Bank of England by the issue of one-pound notes to the amount of 38,000.000, on the same condi tions a notes are now issued. After that point they will be isiuod at tho rateof fourfifths against gold and one-tilth against secnritirs. If by these means the stock of cold is largely increased. Mr. Goschen said he would relax the bank-charter act so as to allow the bank in times of internal crisis toissue notes against securities, on condition of its paying a high rate of interest to the government on anch issues. The scheme would no an enabling and not a compulsory one. It would depend for its sxecess upon the popularity of the onepound notes with banters and the public. 'The scheme for issuing ten-shilling silver cotes had been dropped, but on the condition that if foreign governments opened their mints to the free coinage of silver the Bank of England would bo invited to net upon the provisions of the bank-charter act allowing it to hold one-fifth of its bullion in silver. RUSSELL DIVORCE CASE. The Counter's Story Denied Attempt to Mob the Earl as lie Left the Court-Room. London, Dec. a Tho interest in the suit of the Countess Kussell against her husband. Earl Kussell, fora judicialseparation was enhanced by the publication of the proceedings of yesterdav. Long before the opening of the court every seat was taken. The crowd, while waiting, made very audible comments on the testimony given by Countess Kussell. yesterday, and it was quito evident that their sympathy waa with the fair petitioner. Co u lit ess Kussell. accompanied by several intimate friends, was, together with counsel and others concerned in tho case, admitted through private entrance, ami upon the opvniag of tho court the Counters resumed her place in the w ittiem-box. hir Charles I'usll took up bis cross-examination at the point where it was broken oil yesterday by tho adjournment ot court. He failed, however, to shake tho testimony given by the Countess. Dr. Godon then took the stand, and, in response to a question by Sir Charles Knssell. said the Countess suffered from spasmodic dysmenorrhea, a disease often accompanied by hysteria. fctr Charles Kussell then arose to present the case for Earl ItusselL. Great interest was manifested to hoar this celebrated

lawyer defend his noble client from the charges made against him. and there was not a stir in the court-room as he eloquently spoke in defense of the EarL Sir Charles said, in substance, that he wonld limit himself to the broad issue of the case. So far as the separation of the Countess and Kurl Kussell was concerned, all that he would aay was that a woman was at liberty to leave her husband when she liked. Tho sole object of the present suit was to forco the payment of alimony by tho Earl, fcir Charles then proceeded to rebut the charges of cruelty. He asked the jury not to be carried away by a clover and engaging woman telling them a story that was untrne in all its essential details a woman so perverted as to attempt to snpport a hopeless case by odious imputations. At this point the court adjourned. A mob surrounded the law courts at the close of the day's proceedings, and an the Karl left he was booted at. and attempts were made to strike hi in. The police endeavored to protect him, hut the crowd overpowered them, ana the Karl was obliged to seek refuse in the temple. Being still followed, however, he jumped into a cab and succeeded in getting away amid tho jeers and hisses of the mob. SITUATION IN CIIIIJL

Newspapers Still Criticising the Conduct of Americans Political Ilefusrees. Special CcrrespondfLce of tie Associated Press. Santiago, Chili. Oct. 2S. Ever since tho arrival of the last New York mails, which brought advicea to Sept. 20. the newspapers of Santiago and Valparaiso have been publishing American press comments in regard to Chilian affairs, and particularly articles relating to Minister Egan. They have also contained numerous editorial references to the American government, and to the actions of Minister Egan and Admiral Brown. A majority of the papers here continue to criticise and condemn the American o facials, and manifest a very unfriendly spirit toward the United States. Among other things they have revived tho charges against Admiral lirown in connection with the visit of the flag-ship San Francisco to Quintaro at the time of the landing of the Congressional troops there. They publish a dispatch from Admiral Vial, the former Intendente of Valparaiso, to Balmaceda, which has just been discovered. The dispatch was sent to Balmaceda at Santiago on the day after the landing of the troops at Cjuintero. and in it Admiral vial informed Balmaceda that Admiral Brown had expressed the belief that the Congressional troops would not re-embark. At that time the government forces were inelined to believe that the landing of tbo troops at Cjuinteros was merely a feint, and that they intended to re-embark and effect another landing south of Valparaiso. The object in publishing this dispatch of Admiral Vial is to give the impression that Admiral Brown gave information to Vial in regard to what he had seen on his visit to Qnlntero, and that he expressed an opinion or suggestion in regard to tho movowents of tho troops there which assisted Balmaceda in arranging his plans to resist the attack. The assault on tho Baltimore's sailors, taken in connection with the recent refusal of tne provisional government to issue "safe conduct" for the refugees now In the legation, presents a fair indication of tho present state of feeling in Chili toward the United States. These refugees have been in the legation over two months. Mr. Egan and his family consequently hare suffered great inconvenience, to say nothing of the pecuniary expeuso whicn he has incurred in providing for such an nnusual number of inmates of his household. During the first month that the refugees were in the legation Mr. Egan endeavored to obtain safe conduct for them without taking any otlicial action. Then commenced a diplomatic correspondence between Mr. Egan and the Minister of Foreign Relations in regard to the refugees, which has continued up to the present time, but which lias not yet resulted in the issuing of conduct for the removal of tho men t:sm the country. The authorities of the Junta government declined to discuss tho matter, but the most general opinion advanced by those who support the government is that tne men in the legatiou have been guilty of criminal acts, and that they should be submitted to the courts for trial. If this is the view taken by the Junta it has nover advanced such a claim in any communication to Minister Egan. The question has been treated at all times on tho supposition that the men are political refugees. and that it has been merely for political reasons that the Junta government desired to obtain fiossession of them. There is a very established impression among those whose faUb in tho Juntade Gobierno is not as strong as it was a month ago, that the real causes which have led to this refusal are the unfriendly feeling towards the United States and the desire to annoy the legation. The American and Spanish legations are the only ones which contain any refugees now. The Spanish minuter has ' vo of Balmaceda's supporters under his protection, and he has taken the same stand that Mr. Egan has during the controversy, and has acted in harmony with him at all times. Fill EST TOKTCItED. Ills Feet Burned to Compel Ilim to Disclose the Hiding-Place of Ills Money. Special to the Indlaaspolis Journal. Madrid, Dec. 2. A frightful outrage is reported from Villagorda. Some bandits who bad heard that the priest of tho parish was a well-to-do man, broke into his house in tho night. They tied tho only servant in the house securely on a bed, and, seizing the priest, told him, with many threats, to point out where he kept his wealth. The father, a thrifty man, refused to tell, and adjured the bandits cot to incur the vengeance of heaven by interfering with a servant of the church. The bandits were not moved by the appeal, but proceeded calmly to light a fire. Then they applied the priest's feet to the lire, bringing the feet noaror and nearer to the flames until tho victim shrieked with agony. They told :im they would roast his feet oil if he di not tell where he had his money. The iest held out until the skin began to bun and the odor of burning flesh was stifling. The Eriest, rather thau lose his feet, which the andits said they would consume, to bo gradually followed by the rest of bis body, at length told them where all he had, amounting to about $.";0, was concealed. The bandits took the money and departed. The priest is in a precarious condition. GENERAL FOREIGN NEWS. Condition of Dom Pedro, Kx-Empcror of Uraxtl, Exciting Grave Apprehension. Paris, Dec. 2.

The miners aro much stirred np over the scanty means sent them in this district by their association. Many of the miners and their families have comparatively nothing to subsist on until another distribution is made, which will probably not he for a week or two yet. The amount received for the miners' relief Dec. 1 from J. H. Kennedy, State secretary, was 90. From this was

deducted the expenses of tho delegate amounting to $3, leaving a balance of $S7 which was distributed anion cr two hundred famil'les. The committee gave as a reason for thfj small amount of money received in this district that no money has been receir sd yet from the various States, and that the money being distributed now was what tho association had on hand.

PENNILESS IN HIS OLD AGE

Sad Condition of Cjrns W. Field, Who WasRobbedby Hislngrateof aSon. The Famcns Financier, Ljin on Ills DeathBed, Bemoans His Hard Fate, Saying He Is as Poor as the Pay Us Came Into the World. New York, Deo. 2. Fifty-one years ago to-day a New England youth known as Cyrus West Field stood at the marriage altar full of vigor, hope and sturdy ambition. His strength made its impress upon the century, his hope bore him up in hia work, and his ambition has been rewarded with medals, with knighthood and with the thanks of the United States Congress. Hand in band the New England youth and his helpful wife came honorably down through the half century of time, almost to the present dav. A little more than one week ago, however, the woman he wedded on the day of his majority left him. Her path, for the first timo in all the years, parted from his, and the wife went away from his side along the roadway which leads into the beyond. To-night, bereft of wife, wrecked in fortnno and penniless by the hand of an ingrate and disgraced sou. Cyrua V. Field lies dying at seventy-two years of ago in the handsome home that no longer will be his. "I am as poor as the day I came into the world," said Cyrus W. Field to an old and Cyru West Field intimate friend, to whom he told the story of his son's deceit and ingratitude. There is an insurance or 000,000 on his life. To-night, Dr. Fuller, the family physician, said: "Although Mr. Field's condition is extremely critical, the fact that I called at the house only twice to-day should relieve the anxiety of reporters who have taken up a death-watch at Gramercy Park. Mr. Field is an old man. and it is a difficult matter to determine just when the mortal illness of an old person will terminate. He may linger for several days, and he ma' die in a few hours. He has received so many shocks during the past few days that the least additional excitement is likely to result in dissolution. Tho statement frequently made by the assignee that the two partners, Lindley and Wiechers, wero Innocent of all knowledge of tho tirm's condition, and of what had been going ou until tho failure, is laughed at by bank olliccrs and brokers. They say that the fact that the firm's bank account was changed about five times in twelve months must have opened tho eyes of tho partners. WHERE IS TI1E MONEY? Hundreds of thousands of dollars could not disappear without leaving 'some trace. At the office of Charlei Vf: Gould, the assignee for Field, Lindley. Weichers &, Co., this morning, it was gi en out that a preliminary statement of the firm should, and probably will, disclose to some extent what lias become of the money. A remark made by Assignee Gonld has been the subject of much comment to-day. Mr. Gould said: "It seems tome that the greater part of the money lost by the operations of E. M. Field was lost right hero by the partners in the firm." Then he added: Supposo parties should come to the office of Field, Lindley, Weichers & Co., and pay large sums of money to one ot the partners; and euppose. still further, that this money should be paid right out again by that partner to other parties; then these transactions might not appear on the books. Now. I have had a suspicion that this very thing has taken place. Edward M. Field, after an alleged desperate attempt made upon his own life, has been removed from this city to a private insane asylum at Mt. Vernon, fifteen miles from tho city, by order of Judge McAdam. In the affidavits the physicians declare, under oath, that Edward M. Field is a lunatic, dangerous both to himself and others. Various eccentricities -are cited, and the fact is given that Mr. Field had threatened to take bis own life. Although the paper states that he had attempted suicide, the members of tho family say that such a statement is untrue. It appears that several days ago Mr. Field, when in one of his gloomv moods, told a friend who was with him that life was not worth living, and that ho proposed to kill himself. "The private asylum where Field is now confined is surrounded by extensive and beautiful grounds. It is a place where only those of means can find accommodations. As soon as he arrived at the Vernon House, Mr. Field, who was quiet and submissive, waa taken to his apartments and immediately went to bed. According to the statement ho was suffering from want of sleep and food. His heart showed weak action, and he was in such a condition that absolute rest and quiet were required. If he had made auy attempt at suicide ho did not succeed in doing himself bodily injury. He was not violent. Tho percentage of cures of persons sutfering from similar maladies is from 50 to 10. A friend of tho Field family this afternoon Buid the family have decided to take Edward M. Field's case before a judge and jury at once. They are determined to have everything! open and above-board, and I know that the family lawyers are drawing up the necessary papers now. The family want'to have Mr. Field's sanity passed on publicly, so that it cannot bo said that his insanity is being nsed as a pretense as saving him from the result of his wrong-doings. The physiciaus who have examined him will eo upon the stand and testify fully and freely in regard to Mr. Field's condition. No one will be able to say then that the family is trying to make out a case of insanity that does not exist. a box's ingratitude. Edward was always bis father's favorite on. His father had always advised him and assisted him in his business, and tried to insure his prosperity. And so when Edward came to his father, not many years ago. and told him that he and his firm wero threatened with ruin and that he himself was in danger of disgrace. Mr. Field at once ottered to help him. Edward did not tell his father the wholo miserable story, how he had systematical' deceived his partners and ued money intrusted to the linn, lie did not tell his father that his house was wrecked and ruined beyond help, nor did he tell him of bis own dishonest doings. He appears merely to have disclosed enough to arouse tho symoathy of his generous father, and to work upon his pity sufficiently to get his oiler of help. Cyrus W. Field, led to suppose that a compara tively moderate sum would save his son'a lirm. and that the use of hia securities would enable him to borrow money enough to tide ever the disastrous results of unfortunate, but not criminal, speculations. itave his on the key to his strong box at the afe deposit vault and told him to help himselt to what he needed to carry his firm through the period of storm nnd stress. At this time Mrs. Cvrus V. Field, the be loved wife of the stricken man and tho mother of tlm favorite son. was ill with the mortal disease which was soon to carry her oti. Mr. Field was almost' prostrated with the grief, aud in this new trouble he scarcely knew what he did. Bat ho flare

hia son the key of his strong box, where all his soenrities were, and tojd him to tako what he wished. Edward Field already held his father's power of attorney, so that he was authorized to sign away property for his father. Instoid of taking a portion only of the stooka and bond belonging to his father, Edward took every single paper. He emptied the box. It was the act, it is charitable to suppose, of a madman. Any sane man would have known that it was like pouring water into a sieve to try to save Field. Lindley & Co. How much was in Mr. Field's strong box could not be learned definitely yesterday. There was. possibly, not more than two or three-hundred thousand dollars' worth. Cyrus YV. Field has not been considered a very rich man since his heavy losses in 1877. lie has not been rated as worth more than 7o0,000 since the Mail and Express property and the Washington Building passed out of his hands. Edward Field took everything belonging to his father that be conld lay him handson. What Edward Field did with tho money can only be conjectured. It was probably nsed to make good the insistent demands that were being pressed upon him from customers and brokers who wanted back securities ot theirs which he had rehypothecated. Such a sum, large as it probably was, would not stave oti tbo firm's ruin more than twenty-four hours. It was a needless and cruel sacritice. The loss of the Union Pacific railroad by the rebypothecation of securities by Field, Lindley, Wiechers & Co., was estimated at $200,000, this morning, by A. H. Holmes, their attorney in tho case. Mr. Holmes' says that the road has recovered the greater part of the securities. UNDERSTAND ONE ANOTHER.

Mr. Depew Talks About Harrison and Blaine and the Presidential Nomination. CniCAGO.Dec. 2. The Vanderbllt party arrived by a special train from Now York to-night and registered at the Auditorium. It consisted of Cornelius Vanderbilt, Chauncey M. Depew, Charles E. Cox, Samuel Barton, John Hone, II. McK. Twomhley and II. Walter Webb. The trip is one of inspection, and will probably leave Chicago on the return trip Friday morning. In an interview Mr. Depew said: "There is no division of sentiment in the Republican party as to Blaine if he Decomes a candidato for the nomination. Nothing on earth can prevent his nomination if he desires it. If he does not President Harrison will he the nominee. There will be nocontest in the convention on that question. As to the present relations between the two I am told by each of them that they perfectly understand one another." The idea fostered, Mr. Depew said, by disappointed office-seekers that President Harrison was a small man, mentally and physically, cold and narrow, became at one time the accepted belief of seven-tenths of the Americau people. Mr. Depow added that while Mr. Harrison did not have this in view in taking his trip across the continent, yet he accomplished the herculean task of talking to tbe wholo people through the Associated Press at the places he stopped bp that they might know him better. There is no question but that he accomplished this tasic better than any one had ever done before. The people saw that they had been misled. There was a universal change of public sentiment. It was seen that the chief magistrate was fully equal to the requisites of his office The Kansas City Kidnapers. Kansas City, Mo., Dec. 2.

Lizzie Clevedence, alias Lizzie Smith, led a reckless life at Bennington, but finally married a laborer named Dennis, with whom she went to Denver, where her hnsband died of consumption. Later she went to Omaha, where she joined asister who was living there. It was there that she met and married Albert King, her alleged accomplice in the kidnaping of millionaire Be a Is' s son. Eugeue Kalston, tbe third participant in tbe crime, is still at large, and there appears to be no probability of his speedy capture. Obttuarx. Little Rocic, Ark., Dec. 2. R. M.

Wilkksbarrf, Pa., Dec 2. The Rev. Casper R. Gregory, a leading Presbyterian divine of this city, died to-day of typhoid lever. COURTESY OF PUBLIC OFFICIALS. Testimony that Such Men Aro More Polite tli an Employe of Private Establishments. Edward Everett Hale, :n the Cosmoro'ltan. I have never seen this courtesy of public othciuls spoken of as I think it should be. 1 do not like to ascribe it simply to selfishness. It seems tome to belong rather to tho great underlying principle on which republics nre based namely, a determination of each man to live in a larger life than he is in, and to bear his brother's burdens. 1 have knocked about a good deal in different States of tnia Union. I have been uncivilly treated very often. But I cannot recall a single instance in which, at a publio otlice, where tbe otlicials were appointed, eitber directly or directly, by the people. 1 have found anything but courtesy and a willingness to advance my purpose. 1 remember particularly going into the office of the Secretary of State in Texas, an utter stranger. I wanted to conduct difficult historical inquiries there: which could not havo haa any particular interest to the officials whom I met. They know nothing of me nor my designs. But I spoke the Engliah language and they knew I was an American. It was understood at once that the remarkable manuscript treasures of that department were to be placed at my disposal, and they were placed at my disposal, with every facility tor their use. What a contrast this with tbe difficulty which surrounds any student, even with the best recommendations, when he wishes to examine tho archives of any government in Europe! 1 refer it to tbe principle of which 1 have spoken. It seems to me to belong to tbe habit of mutual help or co operation which is essential if we mean to havo what we call a Commonwealth. Now. it seems to roe fair to compare this with tbe petulance, the arrogance and the ignorance which one so often tinds in the office, say, of the telegraph companies or of an incorporated bank. The official in either of these places is a person who has been appointed for private purposes. His own individual horizon seems to be the horizon of his own comfort. He does not want to help forward the visitor who comes in. He wants to earn his own 6alarv and to get home as early as ho can to smoke his cigar or to read bis novel. I do not say that such an official always treats yon rudely. In fonr cases out of five he does not. But in the tilth case you get the surly half-answer of a person who eares nothing about you or your all airs. Ho wishes you had not come In. he hopes you will go out, and he does not mean, if he can help it, that yon shall come in again. Base-Ball-Player and Scientist. Springfield r.epublietu. Dr. Harold C. Ernr. who has recently been appointed professor of bacteriology at the Harvard medieal school, will be remembered l"V a great many yonnic men in New England as the famous pitcher of the Harvard baae-ball team in the late seventies It was Ernst who pitched the lirst curved ball in a Harvard bull same. It is related now- as a college tradition that one day he demonstrated to tho professor of physics that the curve could be thrown by repeatedly pitchin a ball inni'le the two and ouside the middle one of three pots he had set up in a line on Jarvia held. Dr. Krnst added to his reputation as a scientist last year by making an exhaustive study of the Koch "cure" for consumption. Think It I a Gray Movement. New York AflrertUer.

SCOKING GENERAL. PALMER, A Southern Editor Takes the O. A. R. Chief Soundly to Task. Memplil Arpeal-AvauincTie. The war was ended in 1ST5. It left a heritage of a million graves. North and iSonth. It left to thousands of ragged confederates and boys in blue tbe stiiring memories of the battle-field. Tbe houth Was stricken desolate. There was a vacant place in every household. Poverty and ruin ruled the great plantations and tho cities of the JSouth. The bouth was a conquered province, despoiled of her wealth, crippled in strensth, and without hope of the future. The issue of the bloody contest was accepted Millenly at tirtft. bnt completely. The Southem soldiers adapted themselves to their new environment, and us the years passed by they became as loyal to tho obi ling as the people of any eection of tho country. But thoy conld not forget that there was another flag, old, and rauitcd, and despoiled, which for four years they had folio (red through such perils as tho world has seldom seen. That tl:ig was a memory, a ghost of the terrible days that havo passed into history. On Decoration days and at the reunions of the old soldiers, it has been the custom to bring out the worn and weary-looking stars and bars in memory of tbe olden time. This did no mail harm; it provoked no feeling of hostility toward the stars ana stripes. As time, with healing touch passed by. and old wounds were cured, and animosities removed, the blue and tho grav blended on Decoration day and at tbo great battle-fields. If the man who wore tho blue and the man who wore the gray could allord to shako hands and walk arm in arm over tho battlefields where they had once greeted each other with shot, and shell, and deadly bayonet charge, why should thero be any wrong iu yonder tattered Hag, now but a relio of history, hanging beneath the bright new stais and stripes? Can these inanimate symbols hate and destroy when the hands of meu are clasped iu forgiveness! Only a few weeks ago the cntr.mander-iu-chief cf the Grand Army i theKepnblie, an unknown warrior by tho uume of John l'almei, delivered an address in which he wratbfully declared that ex-federal soldiers ought not to fraternizo with Southern veterans if the confederate Hag was displayed at the reunions. Palmer has now supplemented that speech with an otiensive allusion, for which no Southerner can ever forgive him. At a banqnet in Brooklyn, tho proceedings of which are reported in the New York Herald, Palmer said. "But in doing honor to the people of the South, they should not confront ns with that damned stinking old rag of treason." Cau any one imagine Ulysses H. Grant, or Phil Sheridan, or Sherman, or Thomas, or any of the genuine soldiers on the federal side so far fogetting himself as to utter such words as these? Do soldiers talk this way of tho Hag that fluttered over a lost cause? Do gentlemen ever descend to such cowardly and unpardonable insults as these? Palmer says he was a soldier and has a four years' record. On what liold of honor did this chevalier learn the principles of courtesy, and if, indeed, he was a soldier, whence comes this new etripe of valor? There is only one inference possible, and that is that Palmer has taken advantage of his position as commander-in-chief of the Grand Army of the Republic to advertise the fact that he is alive. We do Dot imagine that there are many old Southern soldiers who can recall tho exploits of Gen. John Palmer in the war; but the name will be familiar from this time on; Palmer will bo a synonym of Ancient Pistol, the Sbakspearean braggart whose bravery wasthatot themouth alone. Tho people of the South can forgive the man who thinks it unwise, or even wrong, to display the confederate llag at publio gathering?, but they will never forgive the man who 6pat upon their sentiment and their memories as Palmer did when he cursed tho stars and bars. A MEDIiEVAI. TRAGEDY. Two Skeletons Found Chained Together In an Old Rain. Belfast News. A curious discovery has just been made by a wine-grower in the department of the Charente. Adjoining his rroperty are the ruins of an ancient chateau, which has been left to its fate for centuries. As part of one of tho wails cf this old pile showed symptoms of an approaching collapse, tho tbo peasant obtained permission to remove it, and a fow days ago ho set to work to demolish it. After toiling for a conplo of hours, to his amazement he came upon two skeletons, the necks, arms and legsof which had been tightly bound to each other by iron links. They wero in an erect position, and it was evident that they were the remains of men who had been immured hundreds of years ago. The wine-grower lost no time in drawing the attention of local antiquarians to his discovery, and a careful investigation revealed further the presence of fragments of clothing which had been reduced almost to dust, as well as of a rusty weapon and two pieces of vrood. The skeletons aro to be placed in tho Bordeaux museum, and great pains are being taken to insure their trnnsport thither in the same position as that in which they were found. There is no doubt that some tragedy of the middle ages, of which possibly some record may survive, led to the confinement of these unfortunate victims in tbo manner described. It is a matter of course that the strange discovery is engaging the attention of antiquarians in that part of France, and it is by no means improbable that sorno clew to the mystery may be forthcoming ere long. s SS Cleveland and the Speakership. New York 8peUl in Philadtli bia Tress. It has jnst leaked ont that ex-President Cleveland! desire has been that tbe Democra'tn should nominate Judge Wilson, of West Virginia, for tho speakership. Last summer Cleveland said that he thought Wilson wan the ideal candidate. lie could not be classed with tho extreme Southern wing of the partv, nor was he a Northern Democrat. Intellectually Cleveland thought that Wil'on compared with any of the men who had tilled tho Speaker's chair in the past. Cleveland was told that if he would permit his preference to be known it was quite likely that Judge Wilson could be made a strong candidate, bnt tbe ex-President would not permit tins to be done, and for a time ho was unwilling, even, that Judge Wilson should know of this preference of his. Circumstances Alter Cases. MsAtson Courier. In 1888 it was proposed to have the Re publican national convention ut Indianapolis. The project was in a measure defeated by the Indianapolis News, which immediately and persistently ridiculed the project, declaring that Indianapolis had neither a suitable hail nor hotel accommodations for such an assemblage. This year the News is booming the capital city "for the Democratic national convention. As the hotels and hall fncilii so of Indianapolis have not increased during the last fonr years it is presumable that this chango of base on the part of the :Sew is another evidence of it independence m journalism. which habitualy oscillates in Democratic directions m An Oversight. Terro Haute Epvs. Anynue reading the daily newspapers printed in cities where foot-ball games were played on Thursday had cause to doubt whether President Harrison tinew w hat the day was et apart for when be issued his thanksgiving proclamation, lie said nothing about foot-ball. Hard to Understand. New York Commercial Artrf-rtiser (Dew ) It is difficult to understand tvhy, in his letter of regret to tne people of Atlanta. Mr. Cleveland found it necssarjr to rrite "absolutely inexorable." 1 his is piling on

the superlatives with a vengeance.

STORY OF FLORE CC The Good Advice the Lat Comedian Gave a Stage-Struck CirL New York Times. A pretty story related of tbe lamented Florence is that of an episode with a staceetruck young woman. Coming ont of the theater in Boston, one evening after a performance, a yonng woman timidly approached him. saving, as he paused to listen: "Mr. Florence, will you toll mo where I can como and see you about going on the atagef', Taking in the situation at a glance, the actor replied kindly, "Why. yes, at the Hotel to-morrow morning at 13 o'clock." Punctually at that hour tha wonld-ho actress was shown in. She was evidently a simply-bred girl, fascinated witb tho glamour of the footlights. Witb entire ignorance of what was expected of her. she announced her desire, finishing naively: "And 1 thought I'd como and ask yon what I must do first." "You are familiar with some plays, I preBumer' questioned Mr. Florence. "Oh, yes," eagerly. "I go to the theater all I can. I've seen you every time you'vebeen in Iioston." "but 1 mean you have studied some dramatic roles!" pursued the actor. "I think not" was thehesitatingreply." "You can read something, at least, to let nn see what yon can do!" he tried next. "I can read poetry." answered the girL "Don't you Know some poetry that you can recite!'' urged Mr. Florence. Yea. she knewLougfellowVTheUridge." a-ad she proceeded to give it in a way tbat i has probably never been given before cor since. There was a moment's eilsnce after she had finished, broken, at length, by Mr. Florence. "You have a hornet" he asked. "Oh, yes." "A mother and father!" "No father. buVa mother." "And a lover, may be!" watching tha girl's face keenly. IShe blusned. and admitted that there was lover "Weil, cow, my dear," taid Mr. Florence, dismissing her, "I can spare you no more time this morning. Leave mo your name and address, and yon shall hear from mo very soon." The girl complied, and before her footSteps had died away in the hall the actor was seated at a table writing. Tbe next day, with a handsomely-framed picture of Mr. Florence, there a delivered to tha aspirant for histrionic vifort this note: lear Miss : tiny with your mother, marry your lover, and piny leading lady on the botne stage where jou are Utted to shine in all voiuanllues. Le assured, my dear young Iruid, on tho other state to which you aspire yon would te as out of place as a uioure in a ball-room, fcincerely yours, William J. Flokecl. ' They Want to Kuow. Boston Herald. There is some excitement in Boston club circles over a passage in Mr. Howeils's latest story, wherein he sneaks of a society veteran "of that period when even tbo swell in Boston had to be an intellectual man." The contemporary swells want to kuow, you know, just what Mr. Howell means to insinuate.
