WEDNESDAY, JULY 11

Postmaster Geskbal Giisdam decides against lottery companies using the United Beates mails. Tue creamery business in Iowa is languishing. Several creameries have lately failed, and others are preparing to discontinue the business. YTht not hare a "let-up" on the Langtrr gossip? Are we not having a trifle too much of it and her? Let us talk about well, almost anything eay Jumbo or Henri "Watterson. A coREEsrox dibit n lead to remark that the fact that Henri Watterson still lingers under Tilden'a hospitable roof has excited the suspicion that he was so completely knocked out in his last boxing match with the vigorous athlete as to be unable to travel. Thk fact that the American hen is cock of the walk is not generally understood, .but statistics for 1832 gie her special prominence, as for inference the value of the wheat crop is set down at flSS.OOO.OOO, cotton $110,000.C00 and poultry at $500, 000,000. Such llgurea are in the highest degree complimentary to the American hea, and the American hog will be required to root vigorously to wain tain bis supremacy. The new money order regulations of the I'ostoliice Department are now in operation. Formerly "0 was the limit of Poetoffice' orders. It is now advanced to $100. Any amount may be had from $1 to $100, and the fees to be charged are as follows: For an order not exceeding $10, S cente; from $10 to $13, 10 cents; from $13 to $30, 15 cents; from $ to $40, 'JO cents; from $10 to $50, 25 cents; from $."Q to $fi0. 30 cents; from $G0 to $70, 35 ents; from $70 to $50, 40 cents; from$0to $100, 45 cent It is quite laughable to Lote the efforts made by the Republican pres3 to apologize for the insufferable disgrace heaped upon the country by republican policy, which ha3 resulted not only in crippling the Navy but to a greater extent reducing the American ilerhtnt Marine, so far as the foreign carrying trade is concerred, to contemptible proportions. The Philadelphia Press asks its readers to lind a morsel of comfort in the fact that American railroads are worth almost twice as much es England's railroads and shipping combined. It costs a pile of money to live in Washington if the ambition cf the resident is to put on style, and as a great many members of Congress and United States Senators put on a heap of that article, they find that $5,000 a year dees not enable them to make both ends meet. A Senator is reported as complaining because, not being a lawyer, he could not live like othar Senators without spending more than his salary. He thought, however, if he were a lawyer he could indefinitely increase his income and tkeep abreast of other Senators who take large fee?. The large fee business is what makes legislation in the interest of the people uncertain. The birthplace of James Bnchaan U entirely unmaraed. Nor even a tiga-board poinu the way to it. New York Graphic. Can It be possible that anybody thicks of hunting up the birthplace of Buchanan? The pleasure of gazing on the birthplace of Bucft&a&n Is similar to the treat promised an urchin, that if h-i would bercaisood he would be takea to see his grandmother's grave. Journal. Now, do you not think that future generations will look upon anything connected with Hon. James Buchanan with more genuine admiraticn thsn anything connected with that cider and doughnut Buckeye blockhead, Ii. B. Hayes. He descends t3 history smirched all over with the dirty modes and appliances used by his partisans to filch him the Presidency the very romance incarnate of sculdugery and Radical rascaldom. Mr W. W. Corcoran, of Washington City, has concluded to erect a monument over the dust of Francis Scott Key, author of "The Star Spengled Banter," whose grave, in an cbscure comer of a graveyard at Fredericksburg, Md., is sadly neglected. 21r. Corcoran did the handsome thing by John Howard Payne, author of ''S jreet Heme," and Mr. Key is quite dterving. When full justice has been done to Cey, Mr. Corcoran may conclude to attend to the jrave of Samuel "Woodworth, author of "The Old Oaken Bucket," for there are thousands "As laDcy resort? to their fathers plantation, Aod igu for the bucket which hangs ia the well," will be glad to know that Wood worth's grave is marked by a monument. THE VIRGINIA DUEL. Political factions in Virginia are becoming intolerant and vindictive. Mahone, who has rapidly developed under the training of Republican Administrations from a pustule to Ü3tula, is exhib'tirg remarkable irritating powers. A deniagcgue and a dastard, he excites loathi eg, but having snoiis at his command he has followers. Tboe who have seen swine follow a corn-fed ox along a highway will comprehend at once Mahone's position and power in Virginia politics. It is easily understood why such a creature as Mahone should be distasteful to men of honor in Virginia. He is a Republican by purchase. He votes with the Republicans for a consideration. If the Republican Administration will eup- ; ly him with spoils he will wear the Republican collar like a dog. Deprive him of the power to be3tow epotlj and he sinks to fathomless contempt in an instant It is not surpribing that such a dwarfish burlesque upen humanity, at once an insult and a disgrace to Virginia, should be exposed by every manly editor in the Old Dominion. This Mr. Beirne wao in the habit of doing. Mr. Elam being a follower of Mahone recarded it as his duty to defend his master, and in doing so applied the mos opprobrious epithets to Mr, Beirne, calling him a liar, and distinctly intimtting that Beirne had not the courage to resent the ireult; in other word3, Mr. Elana denounced lkirne as a liar and a coward. In dealing with such an cutrsge Mr. F.eirne had the (Lciceof three inethodä. He could pocket the insult and wear the stigma; he could pre rare himself and bare a street fight, kill Lis enemy or get killed, or he could send a ctallcrge and f:ght a duel. The first method could cot be thought of for a minute in Virginia; the second i? esteemed vulgar when made m a matter of choice;

the third, a duel, is Uli esteemed In Virginia honorable, though im violation of the laws of tht State. We are aware that a great many people ridicule the idea that a man's hon8r can be bo outraged aa to warrant a resort to arms. The theory is that Anglo-Saxon civilization has taught irate individuals a better way to settle their quarrels than by personal combat, as regulated by the "code." We are not the advocate of duels. All too frequently trivial disputes cave been settled on what is popularly known as the "field of honor." Apparently a large majority of the people of the United States are opposed to duelling. In most, if cot in all, of the States the laws impose te severest penalties upon duelists. To kill a man in a duel is made murder or manslaughter by the statutes. But as a general thing, when the trial is had fot such violation of the law, the belligerents go free or are subjected to mild enalties. Such facts, when analyzed, indica'e very clearly that the people are not in sympathy with the statistics. It is the same as in the cases where a Natt or a Thompson avenges a great outrage by shooting do n the offender like a dog. When auch things occur It is all bosh to blubber over the affair and pour out sentimental slush about man's depravity or the decadence of civilization. When a man defames the fair name of wife, mother or sister; when he deliberately for the gratification of beastly lust wrecks a home by deeds more atrocious than murder, the people in every instance abrogate the statutes, and if the miscreant is killed the verdict is "served him right." It is the eame thing in the case of Beirne and Elam. Beirne was denounced publicly as a liar and a coward. He could have said in his paper to Elam: "Yon area liar and a coward," or, in Yankee parlance, "You're another." But ociety in Virginia would have at once branded Beirne as a coward, whatever might have been thought of the other opprobrious epithet. Beirne had to fight or leave Virginia. To have assumed the "high moral' of a non-combattant, and worn the brand of "liar and coward," would have resulted in ostracism and disgrace. It will not do to assume that society in Virginia is akin to savagery; that civ.'Ization in the Old Dominion, the home of illustrious men in the past. Is in its dawn, while in other States it has reached its full orbed noon. Such talk is simply drool. Mr. Elam denounced Beirne as a liar and a coward and took the chances. If the nlatter had not been eettled by a duel a street rencounter would have taken place, compared with which a well regulated duel under the "code" assumes high respectability. Mahonism in Virginia is producing a crop of outrages in public affairs. A Republican Administration, dead to every sentiment of honor and propriety, vitalizes the stunted caricature of humanity by spoils, which he distributes for the triumph of rascality, and when honorable men denounce him and his practices, as fealty to the welfare of tüe State demands, they ought not to be advertised as "liars and cowards," and those who engage in that sort of abuse ought to feel thankful if they get off with no greater damage than a bullet hole in any part of the physical organism not nerilv fal

THE MEA.T QU Ed 1IO N. Great Britain and Ireland, in lSl, had a population of 35,216,033, or 23:) persons to tbe square mile. The United States, in 180. had a population of 50,155,783, or about II persons to the square mile. Great Britain has to import about one-hälf of her food supplies. The United States is not only a selffeeding country, but has a vast surplus for exportation. Notwithstanding these things, statistics show that the people of Great Britain corsume 110 pound3 of meat, per capita, while in the United States it is only 12) pounds per capita. Such figures demonstrate the lect that, if the peoplo of the United States on an average have all the meat they want and such i3 the boast tho people cf Great Britain do not suffer seriously for lack of meat. The people of Great Britain, however, do cot have all the meat they want, and the statement is equally true of the people of the United States. The reason is that meat is eo dear that thousands of peoplo can not purchase a supply, and in other thousands of instances they are not able to purchase meat at all, unless it be of a quality barely fit for cats and dogs. During the last century it is stated that the consumption of meat by the people of Continental Europe averaged twenty-five pounds per day. During the present century the average haa gune up to fifty pounds per day, but the probabilities are that a reaction is soon to occur which will send the average back to twenty-five pounds per capita, or even less. Europe ia overrun with population, and has reached the utmost limit of production in food products of every description. Even now it is held that Europe left lo herself would be without food sixty days cf the year. As a consequence, for onesixth of the time Europe is dependant upon tie outside world for subsistence. It is not surprising, therefore, that meat is scares in Europe nor that the outlook for the im mediale future biings into prominence problems relating to food, the solution of which is scarcely within the reach of statesmanship. Whatever may be said of England and Continental Europe the feet that food questions in the United States are almost as perplexing as they are in England, is a shame and a scandal of extraordinary proportions. It is stated that, not long ago, a deputation representing 10,000,000 Englishmen protested to Lord Carlingford against cfikial restrictions on the importation cf cattle as causing the high prices of eat, but they were informed that meat was high there solely because it was high in the United States. Various reasons are assigned lor the high prices demanded for meat, particularly for beef. Those who have made the beef question a study report that from 1870 to 1S7U prices declined fully 20 per cent, as compared with quotations immediately preceding the first year named. But with the general revival of business prices advanced and are now fully 50 per cent higher than at the cloee of 1879. It is held that tbe severe winter of 18SO-81, which proved destructive to Western herds, together with short corn crops, have combined to bring about tbe present condition of the market for beef. If mch were the only causes which have LroDht about the high price of beef, the t.fople would submit with becoming comI osure; but such is not the case. Cattlemen are quick to take advantage of such circutnstarres aa cold weather and abort crops to make good their losses aud se

cure large profits, nor do they relax their great) when misfortunes have been overcome and their causes removed. The cattle kings, remarks the New York Commercial Balletin, 'by various devices and combinations, manage to keep up prices much above the natural level; and in thL, it is t&id, they are assisted by that other branch of the American royal family, the i ail way kings, one playing into the hands of tbe other. If profit! are anything like what tbey are reported to be, especially in Texas, there is a large margin for a reduction in priceB to something like a reasonable standaid. ome.hing is needed to bring down the exorbitant profits of the Western and Southwestern cattle ranches, and any movement in that direction would be a positive benefit cot only to consumers at home, but an aid likewise to the export trade. We have lately had vague reports of experiments in slaughtering beef in the neighborhood of the ranches and sending it to the large markets in- refrigerating ws; but we are constrained to say, these do not appear to be attended thus far with results at all commensurate with previous expectations. If the trade is left to iteelf, the adjustment of prices might safely be left to the natural regulator, demand and supply; but'a3 it is, we have intimations that the trunk railroad people at this moment are; about making such changes in their freight schedules for dressed beef for Western points to the seabeard as will practically leave no profit for those who engage in it; in other words, the new competitor is to be killed off by high ra!es of transportation, thus practically restoring to the monopolists the business of shipping beef to the seaboard markets on the hoof at prices fixed by themselves." In this we see that by combinations entered into between cattle men and corporations prices are advanced to a point which deprives the American citizen of cheap meat and virtually places the United States on a level with England, when fully one-half of all the meat consumed has to be imported. It may be said that the "cattle kings" have the right to obtain in the' market the highest price possible for their meat Admit it, but the admission by no means satisfies the purchaser. Since the "cattle kings" would be required tosell al reasonable prices were it not for the railroads, and since the railroads are creatures of law, the public hss a right to complain if they form combinations with themselves or others to unjpstly and, therefore, injuriously advance the price of any food commodity. If such things are done as the Bulletin names, then railroad corporations hecciue public enemies and should be dealt with accordingly.

REPUBLICAN RASCALITY. The people are aware that on every possible occasion Republican officials and organs announce in brass band style that the financial affairs of the Government are managed honestly and with a strict regard to economy. But, says the New York Times, a Republican organ that dare talk out in meeting, "a complete history of the compromises made by the Government with defaulting officers, detected swindlers, straw-bidding contractor? and bondsmen of thoee persons against whom judgments for large sums have been rendered by the United States Courts, would be very interesting, although worthy citizens who suppose that the laws are strictly enforced, or that an attempt, at least, is made to enforce them, wouid read it with feelings of dissatisfaction, and even of disgust." As a general proposition Republican thieves and swindlers are never punished never made to disgorge their ill-gotten gains. It would be supreme folly to expect a different policy on the part of a Republican administration. Arthur himself so debauched the New York Custom House that even Ii. B. Hayes could not stand the stencn of his corruptions, though it is probable if Arthur's infamous proceedings had been in the interest of Hayes and Sherman, he would not have been molested, and now that the man who was too corrupt for Hayes is President, what can be expected but pei fides numberless and corruptions fathomless? The Times refers to propositions now pending iii Washington to compromise judgments obtained against defaulting rascals amounting to several hundred thousand dollars. One claim for $1G7.9U it is proposed to settle for $i0,370, and one for $30,000, the Government is ottered $2,250. These claims of the Government are against defaulting Collectors, Marshals, Indian Agents and other officials, representing rottenness and scoundrelism in almost every Department cf the Government. The thieves are in every instance representative Republicans; men who have contributed their full fhare in the work of making Republicanism as rear like the Massachusetts Tewksbury as possible. "Two or three ytars ago," says the Times, "when the Star Route ring controlled the Postouuce Department, compromises were made by the side of which those above mentioned seem insignificant. Judgments fouud 8gainst ring contractors and their bondsmen were of no value in the opinion of an accommodating Sixth Auditor and an easy-going Postmaster General who was governed by Brady. For example, in one transaction with the rirg the Government ioU $22,7G5, and obtained a judgment against one of the tools of a wealthy contractor for $54,813 and costs. The contractor was allowed to settle for $500. In another case the Government's loss was $204,"G7, of which $110.315 was at once charged' up against the failing contractor. The Department accepted $500, although one of the bondsmen was a wealthy contractor and a member of a combination that was receiving more than $351,000 a year from the Department in the Star Route .business a responsible security was an exception, but when tbe bondsmen chanced to be responsible persons they were not disturbed." Such is Republicanism as painted by a Republican organ. It is repulsive to the last degree. It shows that R?publican"rascals areguilty of unnumbered crimes, that the Departments aredens of corruption, that frauds, -thefts, embezzlements and swindling ofevery description is the rule, and that honesty is the exception; and yet this Republican party thus exposed and denounced by its most widely known organ is asking, for another leesejof power. "The Government," adds the Times, "'is continually deceived and swindled by its own officers, and so it happens that jodgmnnta can not be collected because sureties are worthless, or are not collected because mreties are poweiful." It is cot possible to cot ceive of a condition of public atfaira better calculated to arouse the Indignation of Lonest men of all parties, and as the people rrcrrne familiar with Republican rafcalify they will rtolve that the Republican party shall ba retired from power.

HONORS TO THE LATE GOVE HNO 3 JAMES D. WILLIAMS. Ou Saturday, November 20, 1380, at 12:30, noon, James D. Williams, then Governor of Indiana, took his departure from earth, laid down the burdens of life and sought repose in the embrace of death. To-day, Jnly 4, 1S33, there is to be a great gathering at Wheatland, the old home of the dead Governor, and where hU duet awaits thd sound o! the resurrection trump, to do honor to his name and deeds. A monument, erected by loving friends to mark the place where the good man rests, ia to be unveiled with appropriate ceremonies. It is well to build monuments sometimes, and especially is it proper if thereby memories of great and good deeds as well aa recollections of men are perpetuated. The present is a monument building age. Bonanza kings and millionaires are ambitious to distinguish the residence of their families in the cities of the dead by an ostentatious display of wealth. Humble headstones are for the common herd, the sculptured shaft for thoee who made money, no matter how, and boarded it And thus it happens, in a vast majority of cases, that granite and marble rising proudly amidst the habitations of the lowly dead, signify little more than pride and imbecility, often aroutficg sentiments of disgust or levity when the mind should be serious, it not sorrowful, and the deportment respectful, if not reverental. But when a monument, es in the case of the lamented Governor Williams, marks the last resting place of a man who wrought "With human bauds tbe creed of creeds In loveliness cf perfect deeds," the people are reidy to bear testimony in all proper ways that in honoring euch men they honor themselves, their God and their country. It may be asked, now and in the future, as it has been in the past why pay such distinguished honors to the late Governor Williams? What great deeds did he perform worthy of monumental marble? etc. As tome ieople estimate greatness, Governor Williams would stand far below the highest round in the ladder. He was not a warrior nor an orator. He had never devastated a i ountry like an Alario, nor moved the rabble to mutiny like a Mark Anthony. He was not versed in the arts of the demagogue, and he despised the duplicity of the hypocrite. He did not mature like a mushroom nor dazzle like a meteor. He was identified from hit childhood with the common people and grew up to manhood in their midst and remained with them till his death. He began his c fiicial life in 1S30, aa a Justice of. the Fesc?. He reached the highest office within the gift of the people of Indiana, and death found him in 1S80, after foity years of official life, clothed in the official robes of Governor of an empire State, and required him by a decree that admits of neither modification nor appeal to exchtnge them for a shroud. Governor Williams was a man cf unbending integrity, earnest convictions and unswerving fidelity to public and private trusts. Almost forty years in public cilice, his life was an unsealed book, open to criticism by friend and foe, and yet at the age of eeventy-two years, the people were permitted to contemplate a chief magistrate of the State with a character unsullied and a long official career without a blemish. We do not make tbe present an occasion for rehearsing the deeds of Governor Williams whereby he earned the confidence and high esteem of the people. Certain, however, that it was not by any bold stroke of policy, ror by mapping out new departures for the aceievement of success. Governor Williams possessed a sturdy mind. He quickly perceived the right and always had the courage to pursue it. Symmetrical lather than brilliant, Governor Williams takes his place in history rs a model man. Self-educated, selfmade, self-poised and self-reliant, he made the best cf the circumstances that sur rounded him, and compelled fortune and fate to yield him mo- than an average share of success and satisfaction. To the common people, the men who start out in life having for their capital integrity, Eelf-reliance and honorable ambition Governor Williams must ever be a bright example, and the people of the State who gather at Wheatland to-day will do gocd by bringing into the boldest potsible prominence the life and character of a man whose honorable public career and private virtues made his name illustrious, and shed honor and proud distinction upon his Slate. Those who will witness the unveiling cf the monument in honor of the deal Governor will listen in rapt attention a' gifted men sball rehearse his virtue?.

THE WILLIAMS MONUMENT. We reproduce in the Sunday Sentinel, from cur Friday's issue, the speeches of Senator Voorhees and ex-Governor Baker, delivered at Wheatland, July 4, on the occasion of unveiling the monument erected to the memory of James U. Williams, late Governor of Indiana. In doing this wearepertuaded that we confer a favor upon our thousands of readers, who, without regard to party affiliation, have only words of respect and admiration for the dead Governor, and who know that no man in the State could have been selected to deliver the oration of the day better qualified to speak of Governor Williams than Senator Voorheae, and in the brief address of Governor Baker the readers cf the Sentinel will find such an enlightened indorsement of Governor Williams' nobility of character as will serve to still further elevate the dead Governor in their esteem and veneration. Thoee who know Senator Voorhees expected from him an oration worthy of his great powers, and worthy of the man whose life and deeds were his theme, and grandly was every anticipation realized. In the wide range of topics, which it has been Senator Voorhees' duty to discuss as a public man, we doubt if there has been one which more completely took possession ot his mind or more profoundly stirred his great faculties. In the presence of thousands the granite shaft was unveiled which marks forever the resting place of Governor Williams. The sun, as he journeys from the eastern to the western horizon, will lovingly caress tbe monument; the winds will whistle and Bing and sigh as

they paaa and repass; storms will beat upon it and cloud a will eob above it; time will corrode and wear it away, but the monument of thought, clothed in grandeur of words, which Senator Voorheea created and erected at Wheatland on the 4th of Jnly, 1SS3, in henor of James 1). Williams, will defy time and the elements. Kind words, gDod words, great words, never die. Thousands and tecs of thousands of Indianians will never see the granite monument a Wheatland, but they Kiay all read the masterly oration of Senator Voorhees, which will, we believe, afford larger profi and satisfaction.

SABTOBIS OBAN C BU3H. Some years since a little Jonny Bull by the name of Sartoris married Miss Nellie Grant, and, therefore, became notorious. His father-in law was President of the United States, and therefore a bigger man than Victoria. A great many people thought Nellie Grant ought to have cftrried aa American youth. They were eorry that the bestowed her heart and hand upon an Englishman, and recent rumors, shoeing that Nellie's Jonny is a puppy or omething worse, have served to create widespread sympathy for Nellie. The fellow Sartoris is evidently in a very bad scrape. The facts Eeem to be that he has met an adventuress, and that she has. enthralled him. An effort has been made to disentangle Sartoris from the wiles cf the Bush woman, but so far the perplexities and embarrassments which surround the case become more intricate. The Chicago InterOcean saj-s : One version of the story, as it first came to the public, represented that Mr. sartoris became acquainted In England with Mr. and Mrs. Algernon Bush, and that in April last Mr. Sartoris and Mr. Jesse Grant came to this country on the same steamer with Mr. and Mrs. Bash. Mr. Bush, who was reported a man of sixty or sixty-five, went irV. business at Green Bay, his wife, a bcantif al vornan of not raore than tweaty-two, taking a house at Milwaukee. Here, one report says, 6he was visited every Saturday by Mr. Bush and his brother.who brought Mr. Sartoris down with them to spend Saturday and Sunday with them at the house. After some weeks Mrs Bush left her house, and without paying for the furniture came hurriedly to Chicago. Soon afterward Mr. Sartoris came to Chicago, and, it is alleged, advanced her money to meat payments which her husband's embarrassment had prevented her from making. The sudden departure cf Mrs. Bush from M.l wukee excited the go.ips there, and th fact that she had interviews w ich Mr. Sartoris ia C iiiceo gave rise to all the ruiaor and will strrks that have been In circulation here. Here we have it that an old " man sixty or sixty-five years of age has a beautiful wife of twenty-two years. The young wife, instead of living with her old man, takes a house in agreat city. Not being able to pay rent she abandons the establishment and visits Chicago, where she mets Nellie Grant's husband, who supplies the needed funds to pay rent, etc As might be ex peeled, the plot thickens. Busy heads make dizzy heads. Mr. Bush appears and disappears. Mr. Sartoris comes to the front and stays there. He is the son-in-law of on "Illustrious citizen." He is indissolubly connected with Grant He shines and stinks like a dead mackerel by moonlight There seem) to be a remarkable amount of Bush in the matter. Just now old man Bush, the reputed hnaban I, and Mr. Bush, his brother, have dropped out of sieht, and as for Mrs. Bash no one is able to tell whether she is Mrs. Bush, Miss Greene, Miss Melbourne or Miss or Mrs. somebody else. If Miss Melbourne, ehe was formerly known as a belle and a fast young woman in St Louis; if Miss Greene no one appears to know why, and if a Mrs. Bush no one knows where or how she became so. If Miss Melbourne, she fell out of ft window in St Louis, broke her arm. and cracked her skull, recovered, went to "Washington, struck a Southern Senator and finally departed for Europe with a pocket full of money to return as a Mrs. Bush. She makes contradictory statements in regard to her husbmd, at one time raying he is dead, at another time that he was to put in au appearancs at Chicago. Sartoris is also contradictory in his explanations, saying at one time he had no acquaintance with her, and at another time that he has only Visited her a3 he would any other acquaintance. "In the meantime," says the IuterOcean. " while there is no open charge of misconduct on the part of either Mrs. Bush or Mr. Sartoris, no evidence is submitted to ehow that there is a Mr. Bush in existence. He has not been seen or heard from in Milwaukee or Chicago, and when his wife's i:ame is being bandied about it would seem that he could not well afford to remain in seclusion. As the matter has gone so far, justice to that little woman, whom, as Nellie Gront, the people learned to love, and Mrs. Bush herself demands that her father, her husband, or Mr. Sartoris himself, or all three, take the matter in hand, and by proper explanations stop the torrent of damaging talk." It may be possible for Sartoris to make proper explanations and "stop the torrent of damaging talk," but it does not look tbat way. The probabilities are that the boastful Englishman has been giilty of thameful infidelity to hii wife, and has succeeded thereby in bringing the came of General Grant promine:- tly before the people in connection with a humiliating scandal. BREEZES FllOai TIIESÜM3IEII luisours. The Lor g Branch races bejan last Monday. Tit. key Lake extends its usual attractions this jcar. The concerts at the Saratoga hotels are in full blast.
