I closed ray last letter with sorae reference to the svst em hers tf demanding "tips' or gratuities from travelers, which is universal, and sometimes very annoying. From the house-maid at the top of the stairs to the porter at the front door, each will be found anxiously vaiting in expectation of his or her particular "tip." It is "tip" on all side end everywhere. In imitation ct 3Jirk Twain it ia T-:?, tip, Up with caire, Tip like r Mou.J millionaire. a two-toi" tip at tlii to of the s'aire, A half-crows tip to the head waiuire, a whole ciowii tip t the bie poruire, I 'stu j ou are a busted travelaire. Afir this poetical outbreak and cor-xesi-oudirg relief for pent up feeling I am remiriue 1 that a rf -rence to E iinburjrh would not 1 e cmp'ete without mention ol that cii!jae character, the "New Haven ' J'ishwlfa." These hirdy womea wears costume pe;uliar to themselves, and as different fxoni the ordinary dre33 of the peo- . pie about them as if they belonged to . another rac?. In their ehort dre33 skirts, reaching to the knee, with a handkerchief Eccnliarly tied abott the head, and a large 03kei strapped to their ehoulders, they " can be seen going about in ail directions disposing of their supplies of fish freshly cauht by the fishercaen of th9 Forth. The .Forth :3 at all times whitened by the siils of many ships sailing to and from the important seaportä of the world. At the present tin.e two French men-of-war are lying in th harbor, and on Thursday evening we had the pleasure of meeting a number cf their oüicers at a "tea" given at the residence c f the French Consul. On Monday tne ctlicers of the Chateau Renault gave a reception oa board that vessel, to which they kindly invited us, and we have since made an excursion to Koslii Ca3tle , with the same party of Iadie3 and gcntle- : men. At that point I will again take up my narrative. Leavinj Edinburgh from the Waverly Station we lint stop at HAWTHOBXDES, the hone of the Poet Dramrnond, and where his heirs still reside. It is a most lovely place and is only rive miles from the city. ' Kare Ben, Jousdu" 13 said to have walked all the wy from London to pay a vi.-it to Dramrnond, and a seat in the garden ia ehown a9 their place of meetin?, where they exchanged the following poetical greeting: "WetC'iffie, welcome. Ttoynl Eon" -ThJLkie, thankie, ILiwtaornden." Two milea farther and we reach tha famed Cattle of Koslin. This castle was for centuries the seat of the Earls of Orkney and Caithness, " and i3 yet in josje-.ision of their descnlants. The chapel here is roarded a3 the most beautiful specimen of Gothic architecture in Grolland. Beneath its Moor, clad in complete armor, lie bnried all of tha ttcient baron? of KDslin. There is an old tradition that previous to the death of any of the lords of the manor this old chapel would appear wrapped In flames, as a warning of the approaching evil. Sir "Walter Scott makes use of this story In his poem of "Koaabelle." Near the town of Dalkeith, two miles from Koslin, the palace of the Dake of Buccleuü;a is aitaawd. It is a large, square building, located on the banks of tue River Est, and is surrounded " by a munificent pirfc. This was cciidered a fortress cf. great strength in early times, atd was then known as the "Lion's Ifa." Charles I., George IV. And Queen Victoria hava all slept within its waiia. After a most enjoyable day we ! return to Edinburgh from Dalkeith, and . bright and early on the following morning start on the most attractive excursion known to the immeilata neighborhood of Scotland's capital. Three miles only from the city and we pass through Porto Ualto, a seaside town and an attractive summer resort of the citizens of Edinburgh. Next on the right ia Crichton Ca3Üe, and on the opposite Bide Borthwick Castle, where ueea itary stayed for a time after . her marriage to BothwelL Then wa come to Galashiels a busy town celebrated for the manufacture of tweed cloth, and where there ia t United 8lates Commercial Agency under the supervision of the American Consul at Edinburgh and soon reach Melrose,, where we leave the cars and tae a carriage for Melrose Abbey, Dryburgh and Abbotaford. . -. AEHOTSFOKU, We trr. drive to Abbotsford, the beautiful re-'dence of Sir Walter Scott, or, 3 he bo weh termed it, "a romance in stone and lime." It is situated on the bants of the Tweed, three miles from Melrose, and i3 now tbe property of Mr. Hope Sso't, who ' married the granddaughter of Sir Walter. The place la kept very ranch as when he lived, and it was -here that many of bis moat famous works bad their inspiration. Who that has read Scott and who that reads anything baa not could :stand here in thia lovely borne, "unrounded by so mach that was intimately awociat-d with . the 2rtat anthor in his life led not fl a . toncb of awe inspiring him. ' Great Wizard of the North" poet, noyelist, historian. pauosoher 'Thile the Lavish langtase lives worshiping pilgrims shall wend their way to this lb? shrine. In his ata ty are preserved the clothes worn by Sir Walter at tha time ot his death, and the arm chair ntl writing table o of ten' used by him. The decorations of nearly every room. In tht hcuse art copied from similar rooms in celebrated old castles and abbeys, and the entire woo l-woik of one room Is male ' from material emoved from the old abbey at Dunfermlint. The armory and, in fait, theeidiie hon is areolar museum of objects of in ten at personally collected by fcir Walter during his life. Amoog th?ae are Rob lioj'i gnn, dirk and knif; the awtird of - the preat Montrose, presented to him br Charles I.; a pistol beionzirg to the noted Graham of Claverhouse; armor worn by James IV. at his death or.

Shrl?ve Castle in Calloway, a former strorgholdof the Douglas3 timily. Ioimediattly in front of the older poriton of the hoaie stands the fountain of the ancient cro?a at Edinburgh, which, ia the pait, fiotfed wita wme on many occaoiooa of public rejoicing. N'par by is buried "Haida," Sir Walter's favorite dog. and over h?3 remains stands a marble efigy with a Latin inscription reciting his virtues. A short drive from Aobnsford here Sir Waiter lived, brings ua to Drybcrgh Abbey, where fce is burled. Long before his death he himself selected these ivy-coveed ruins as his last resting place. His wife and son lie by his side and hii tomb contaiDsonly this simple inscription: 'Sir Walter Scott, Baronet, di?d S -ptem-ter CI, 1:;2." Dryburgh is said to tasaa "stttlement of tbe Druids," and it ja siprosf d that they had a place of worship here before the days of chria-ianily, as many evidences to sustain that sappositia have been unearthed. Near the entrance stands a venerable yew troe, said to have teen planted at the time the abbey was built in 1100. I don't vouch for everything I relate, but simplv "tell the tale 3 it was told to me." Sir Walter himplf has told us the story of the unhappy "Nan of Dryburgh," who never left the aViey except after nightfall, when she went forth in search of food, having made a sacred vow never to look upon tha sun until tue return of her absent lover, who fell in battis and so nev?r came back to her. The ancient chronicler, "Thomas, the Ebymer," lived near Dryburgh, at a place then called Ercildoune, now known as Earlaton. MELHC5-2 Ar.IIIY. Iletcrnircr to Milrose. we next v-.it the ruins of tae famous Melrose A'ibe, rcjparded 8s one of th best specLnans of gothic architecture in Great Brita'n Many celebrated rersons ar buried hers, nraoot; them ct. Waldems, King Alex icier II. ar.d Lord William Douglass. "The Dark Knib. of LiJdesdalc" The heart of King Robert Bruce ia sail to hi bariel here, his body being interred at Dunfermline. From Melro-e we go back tol'.linbursh by train over another route, pujiog rst Hoi.-bury Castle, and coming then to Innerliethen, a pleasant little suuimer resort on the banks of the Tweed. In this vicinity is Traquier House, mansion of the Earl of Traquier and Ashetiel, for a time the residence of Scott, and where he wrote "ilarraion." and "The Lay of the Last Minstrel." We next pass Teebles, the scene of James I. 'a roeni, "Peebles to the Play," and, nearing jsidry Station, se the ruins of CraignUIar Castle, wbre tjaeen Mary waa brought a prisoner, ailer the battle ot Car'oery. and where the murder of Dirnley is siid to have been planr.ed by Bothwell aud his compauiouE. Ilituruiug once more to Edinburgh, o r next excursion ia to the ancient city of Carlble, coming back over what is krown as the Waverly route. Ly reason of its passing through a part of the ccuntry m which many of the scenes of Smtt's writings are located. I find that a knowledge of Scott is about the best ffui Jebjokone enn have in all this section of country. Making the trip direct to Carlisle, which" I bave desciihed in a previous letter, v.e ftuxt back over the Waverly route and crrue first to Stel It ad S ation, near which is the old Hermitage Castle, ctietrated as a stronghold oi the Doaclass family nd the p'ace where th? "Dark Kniphtof" LiddeEdale ' so cruelly starved to death Sir Alexander Ramsey. It is said that uen Mary brought on a dangerous fever ty riling from Edinburgh to Hermitage and l-ac!i (forty miles) the same day to see her wounded lovsr, Bothwell. Farther on our way is Hawick, the principal city of Boxburghlre, and a place of cons'derable manufacturing Importance. Near Hawick is Goldielands, the strong castle of the Scott family and Braaksoma
Tower, the scene of the "I.ky of the Last Minstrel," where tbe "Nine and twenty knights of fame imng thrir shields in Branksome Hall." Next wereechthe pretty little town of Newton Sr. BobWfir?, situated at the base of the Eildon Hills, wh;ch tradition very obscure tradition says were orig'na'ly one, bnt which were changed in a single night, by the dev.d. into three, at the request ot his friend the wizard, Michael Scott. The devil is understood to be a very obliging gentleman, equally, to his friend.-, but why Michael wanted tnree hills instead of one is not explained. Near St. Boswell's is Eildon Hall, one of the many residences of the Duke of Bacclensrb, and Mertoan House, seat of Lord I'olwarth. Arriving once more at home in Edinburgh, we now prepare for an excursion to one of tne most attractive and beau'iful places in SootNnd, the ancient and historical old city of Stirling. LINLITHGOW. Leaving Edinburgh briiiht and early for Linlithgow, we soou paw Newlistou, tbe ferrner Vat of the great Field Marshal Stair, and four miles furtheron the ruins of Nidry Castle, the refuge of ieen Mary after her escape from Lochleven, and come to Lmlitbgow, situated upon the lake of tbe same name. Here is the romantic ruin of the old palace first built by Edward I. of England, and in whi( h Mary cueen of Scots Jwas born. In its time it was considered a magnificent structure, and the poet said of it "Of all thepalacesso fair. I'.uilt tor the royal duelling. Id Scotland far beyond compare, Iju.ilügow is excelling." Agnes Strickland, the historian, at one time mided at Linlithzow, and the ol I chares is etill standing ia which it is Claimed James IV. saw the apparition warnicg him of bis approaching defeat and death. The next place of importance on mir route is Falkirk, the scene of two celebrated battles the defeat of Sir William Wallace by Edward I., and that of General Hawley by Prince Charlie the Pretender. 'IfceD,' patin? through Torwood Forest, where it is said Wallace escaped h'.s pur ßuers by climbing a tree, we come to llanuockburn, near which the famous battle took place, in which Scotland, under Itjbert B-'uee, so gallantly secured her liberty and freedom. Three miles from Bannockbom another important battle was fouijtit, that of Sanchledowp, where James III. was defeated and treacherously killed. . We row arrive at Stirling, one of the -most interesting places in Great lirit&i, and whre we spent ever-il hours most enjoyably. Stirling is a baauti fal place, and, though smaller, very strikingly resembles Edinburgh in appearance. Tbe castle itooa of great historical interest, and is roost pictureriuely located on a lofty eminence above tbe town. Ia tbe castle rhapl"Mary tneen of Scots was crowned, and her son, James VL, baptized, and in the old Grey friars' Church near bv James was later on crowned, John Knox preaching the coronation sermon. The room is still shown in which James It. stabbed tbe haughty Douglass, anil he is aid to be buried on tbe spot where bis body fell, immediately beneatn the little window from which It was thrown by the King's attendants. James II. and James V. were both born here, and It was the favorite residence of James VI," There i a splendid view of the furrountling country from the castle citadel. Twelve battle-fields are in eiht from here, and there is a beautiful view of the winding Forth, tha fair vale of Moateith and the tall mountain pe?.ks of Benledi and Ben-Lomond, and afar oil the distant Grampian Uli.'-', whereoa the agsd progenitor of the youthful Norvel furnished forth the requisite nutriment for the sustenance of his multitudinous tlocks or words to that elTecc This is not prechfcly a literal quotation, but may ra.her be regarded as a sort of Emersonian translation. Tte Ladies' U;ck," near t' caatie, ia an elevated place wbero the Ivlies of the court were wont to assemble to witness the fierce tournaments in the fbld hbw, andnotfar anay ia the "Healing Hdl," so ralltd ,from . bein. the plare of fxt cation,, where . mmy not"d heals were tsVen o(T 'i.a tbe good old div." The ca?tle itself Is splca Jidly pra3srre J,
and, like tbe Castle ot Edinburgh, the articles of union require that it shall always be keot fortilied. At prudent a regiment of Highlanders are atatioaed here, Dd a full band of bag-pipes attached to the regiment plays every day in the public groubds. l can hardly pronounca tbe music of the most enchanting character. StiiliDc contains some very ancient houses,
among them one built by the Bfsrent Earl ; of War, and another belonging to the Duke cf Argyle, btheaded by Charles II. Near Stirling ia CAMr.rsKExr.zTU aecev, burial place of the unfortunate Jarres III. and histneen, Manraret of Denmark, West of tbe fortress tuns the B.sllange:ch read, from which James V. took bis name of "Gnde Man of BaUaneeich," which he adopted on thosa "Harouna Al IlaicLid" excursions for which ne wa3 bo famous. I had visited this spot before, when it wa3 a matter of great interest to a relative, a j'oung lady of our party, whose ancestors were intimately connected with a very exciting event ia connection with cue of the merry monarch's adventures. Oa Ibis occasion the King, disguised and unattended, bad gone to r ay a visit to a rural sweetheart with whom" he was secretly csrrying on a love affair, and wh !e returning to the castle wa3 waylaid at the Bridge of Cranujr.d by several of the fair damsel's incensed relatives. Overpowered by numbers, he was m a fair way of being beaten to death when a young farmer, attracted by the row, cime to his aid, arrutd with a flail, at.d about hitu so vigorously th3t the assailants were eoon put to flight. The Kii g was then conducted to hia benefactoT'c bon e, where hia wounds were carefully wasted and dressed. In conversation with hU ally the King discovered that the dearesi wish ot his heart was to own the larm of Braehead, which was a part of the royal domain. Upon leaving he requested the farmer to come the next day to the palace and inquire for the "Gu Je man of Baliangeich." He did bo, and greatly to his astonishment found in the "Gude man" hia royal roaster, who then and there knighted him and endowed him with the much cov8ted farm of Braehead, the only condition being that in commemoration of the adventure he should present the King a basin, ewer and towel that he might wash his hands whenever he should chance to pass the Bride of Cramond. The estate, which is not far from Edinburgh, is still in tfce hands of the descendants of the rescuer of Royal James, John Howriion, cf Braehead. When George IV. came to Scotland in 1S2J tbe then possessor of the estate, according to the tradition of his ancestor, appeared at an important festival and presented tte Kig with water from a sliver wer. Iletnrning to Edinburgh from Stirling, we feel that we have done f all justice to the numerous attractive excursions in the vicinity of the capital, and our next will be a greater distance from home, going into the highlands and through the beautiful country cf the "Lady of the Lake." and in the meantime I have an engagement for a day 's ealmoa lidiing at Localevtn with that prince of good fellows, Color el C. A. Wood, the American Consul Dunde. I wish that I had with me that "boss r.shsrmai," my good friend Eaos B. Heed, not only for the pleasure I know he wtnld ei joy, but in order that the reputation ot Indiana fishermen might be picperly fustained, as 1 am afraid I am not equal to the task. WARY AN rE . The past few days we have spent very pleasantly at home and have enjoyed the pleasure ot seeing our great American actress, Mary Anderson, who has been playin at the Lyceum Theater in this city. We were very kindly treated by Miss Aiidfrson and her father and mauaser, Dr. Grifbn. On tbe opening night Dr. Griffin ir-vittd our entire party to occupy the managerial box, asd after the performnnce we paid a visit to Miss Anderson in the greenroom. On the following day the Erl of Hopetown, Lord High Commissioner for Scotland, gave a dinner to Miss Anderson, to which we were Invited, and the next evening we bad tbe pleasure of entertaining Miss Anderson and Dr. and Mrs. Griffin at our own home. Sbe is as charming off the stage as she is on, and is ai great a favorite here as she i3 in America. Mary Anderson is a girl of whom all Americans can be justly proud, for Ehe is not only a great and talented actress, but, better still, is a pure and noble woman, a credit to herself, her profes&ioa and her country. W. E. E. Tili: LGlTTtiN WK AN OUT. England Worried Over Itosila and jt'raure's Opposition. Londo.v, June 24 The cohesion ol France and Ilosaia, in opposing the ratification of England's treaty with Taikey regarding tbe future administration of Egyptian affairs, ia rapidly assuming a menacing aspect and the Cabinet is much perturbed thereat. As far as the pui.lic are aware, the situation, in respect, of Buisla's and France's opposition, England's obstinate adherence to her original position, and Turkey's wavering between the signing of the convention ami deferring to IlUMsia's protests has undergone no change; but tbe hurriedly summoned Cabinet meeting, at which were present many ministers who had foregone engagements entered into weeks ago in order to attend, implies that the Government is in receipt of information of a grave character. Surely no thins that Turkey could do or refuse to do would cause euch manifest haste and anxiety in assembling the grave ministers of state even bad th question not been postponed, as far as England and Turkey are concerned, until after tbe feast of Bairim, which will not begin until to-morrow, and tbe public will not remain satistied that tbe pressing necessity for the couuci 1 did not arise from the Government's conviction that war between Russia and France, on tbe one side, and Turkey, and inevitably England, is made imminent by recent decisive action on the part of tbe forn.fr allied jowers. This much, however, is known. Sir Heary Dramnioiid Wolff, through whose diplomatic cajolery the treaty was broaght about, fearing that the Cabinet he represents may at the last moment fail to support him. has demanded an immediate decision of tbe questions he has submitted and Lord San -bury is in a quandary. Egypt ar.d Ireland are the two horns of hia dilemma. In dealing with the latter question there is do necessity for him to temporize, but in managing the former so as to secure the best possible results, or, indeed, from the present outlook, any good results at all, he is seeking to gain 11 the time- he can and induce all tbe other parties concerned to commit themselves before showing his own hand. The impatience of Special Commissioner Wolff and the determined attitude of Busala and France, however, are pressing hm closely, and a definite declaration of Kaland's intentions in the premises Ctn not e much longer delayed. The President Accept. Lo.mok, June 2L President Cleveland has cordially accepted the dedication to him of the eulogy on Henry Ward Beecher by Dr. Parker, of the City Temple.

The grand entrance to the Equitable Life building of this city is not yet completed, bat it has been thrown open to the public use, and bas already become one of the fix ad points which sight-seeking strangers never fail to visit. There is probably no building in the world devoted exclusively to business of greater magnificence than the Equitable, and the company never seems to weary of beautifying and enlarging it. Eventually it will occupy the entire block, 2'JO by 400 feet square, between Broadway ad Nassau and Pine and Cedar streets; and there is no telling bo high in the air it will go in the near fa nr, when the directors of tha company realize that there is no more of tte world's surface for them to conquer. The possibility of a higher elevation cf this magnificent pile of granite and brick was evidently anticipated when tbe foundation stones were laid, for they are of suiheient breadth and depth to sustain teveral Btiries on top of the dozen now completed. Twenty-story buildings in lower Broadway are not at all unlikely thing s. Land i? too valuable in that narrow and busy strip of less than half a mile iquare, between East and North Biver3 and Cnamber3 itrtet and the Battery. The Equitable set the fashion of huh bai'diugs years ego, and President Hyde and Vicei'jesident Alexander, who are tb.3 moving spirits of this vast corporation, seem determined to maintain the lead in future developments in the some direction. r of the great difficulties agiiast wni'l District Attorney Martine ha3 la bored in the trial of the adermanic hoodlers and bribers have only just been developed by the Sharp trinl now progressing. Moloney and Keenan, two most important witnesses, were early spirited away, and bave been kept away, greatly to Mr. Martine's disadvantage. It appears by the new testimony introduced in the Sharp trial that J. W. Forshay, president of the Seventh Avenue Bail road, aad Thocuas B. Kerr, treasurer of Sharp's road, were the two men who raised the $üCx).000 in $1,013 bills which found its way into the hsnds of the boodlers. A few montti3 go Forsbay lay down and died suddenly of heart disease, it Is said, or chagrin or shame or forr.ething akin to over sensitiveness or remorse. A few days Dpfore the trial of Sharp was to begin Mr. Krr was thrown from his cirriage la Central Park, and has been so disabled since as to be unable to testify in court, if, Indeed, at all. The ?rCO,J00 with which to bribe the Aldermen was raised from about half a score of financier, ail of whom had been in the street railway lines before. The principal coutributor. who took one-fifth ot the whole, was Seymour L Hasted, of BrookIt n, who bad once been a driver oa a Brooklyn lice, which he sooa owcd. He was a most important witnes3 for Mr. Martine, but while the jury was being impanneled Hasted was taken ill, and the day before the taking of testimony Deg&n he, too, died. But these unexpected obstacles are being overcome, and I do not doubt that before this reaches yoa for publication the verdict ot guilty will be registered against Sharp. I have had several inquiries as to the lawsuit in which Hon. John D. Townsend has engaged on his own behalf, in the interest of a reform ot the bar, to which I alluded l.tst wftk. This intereet is not at all unnatural, for Mr. Towrsend has been prominent for many ears in various more or lets successful eöorts to rtform the bar of this city. His first prominent appearanre in this capacity was in the eilort to impeach and remove the corrupt Albert Cardt zo from the bench of the Supreme C3urt. Cardozo heard ia some way that Townsend was about to open lire on him before a legislative committee, and. waiting until the redoubtable little reformer was in sight with his little gun at full cock, he suddenly resigned and the bench was once more purified. He went next for the hoary scalp of the venerable Edwin V. Stoughton, but Stoughton died before the little legal reformer could overtake and sqaelch him. His hand has bsea raised in frequent threats against those whom he calls '"Sngliih convicts and Scotch adventurers," who have fastened themselves like barnacles on the bottom of the good ship of t'ielaw; and it is Townsend'a frequent assertion, if not his hxed resolution, to relieve the profesbion of the odium of their membership. I do r.ot feel at liberty to indicate exactly what member of the legal profession Mr. Townsend propose to reform oat of it in bringing tha euit I have alluded to; but if be has done what his client and bis late mansgirg clerk pay has been done ia two esses, Mr. TowMseud'a efforts will be heartily approved, and certainly as heartily secor ded as this old pen ot mine can do it I will outline only a single case which Mr. TowBsend's suit will bring out against the lawyer alluded to He bad a client who kept a "club housa" for tbe usa of several prominent brokers, where they could meet thtlr lady friends or. more propsrlv speaking, the ladies of their friends and indulge in "love and birds and Bcrguady." The brokers finally quarreled, and the "club" broke up in a row. The lawyer learned of this part of his client's business, and induced tbat client to let him sue the brokers for $10,000 damages to the business. But it became necessary as the trial approached for the client to commit perjury to win tbe suit, and as the client would not do this, the lawyer had to abandon the suit to avoid humiliation. And the funniest thing about the whole maiter is that tbe defendant whom Townsend is suing is tbe person wbo saved the lawyer from the inevitable ditgrace which a puhlic trial woulJ have brought about. But Mr. Townsend'a auit makes public exposure a possible thine, as it is well known tint in all his eifort3 to pcrify the bar Mr. Town-ead never bsc ks down at least, hardly ever; and there are many scores of lawyers and others who will rejoice when Mr. Townsend's suit results in inquiries by the Bench and Bar Association. Dr. George Maryland, the energetic secretary of the Bankers' Association, tells me that tbe convention this year will be held in Pittsburg, Pa., on October 12 and 1'.. Dr. Marsland bas been collecting through the National Press Inteliigenca Company, of this city, statistic and data for tha preparation ol a paper, preliminary tu di.icn sion in tbe convention, ou the "prevention of lcs:es to banks by frauds, forgeries, defalcations and other fiduciary mtlfeasa ice." Tbe conventio'i will alv discuss tha question rd tLe practical safa y of b-tnl; - if s, and wll probably appoint a co'ur.uu to ii:vestiaae the serious cirrnt lepo.-'sof tLe Irfecurity of safes hi i.ow sei rvly rnam;facturei to rn'jiy iaiuoitdut iop'ci. The 'atest de rcloprant In the Bhtrn case was the testLaony of the employe of
Sbarp tbat tbe old man had told him that 1 e tad "fixed" the Aldermen. Those who kcow Sharp best w'll believe this t3 characserieticof him. He used to spend money Wim reluctance at Albany and then tell wLat enormous sums he had to pay to get bi3 bills through. Another prominent railway manipulator of legislators once said that Sharp, by his exaggerations of tha sums he actually paid, made legislation unnecessarily costly. Of course tte runiör that Dana, of the San, has gone to Europe to fight a duel with Pulitzer, of the World, ia absurd. He ia simply following the example of the other editors wbo go abroad in order to let their subordinates make brilliant papers in tLeir absence. It is wonderful how smart
' ycarg fellows like Julius Chambers, of the Herajd, .Ballard Struth, of the World, aad AmosCnmmings. of the Sun, can improve tbeee jcurnals wben they are untrarnnieled by the presence ot proprietors, who have pers'-ral or political obligations to make them dull.

"Colonel rhicloa Howard, Danville. IIL "PtfAR Sin In acswer to your letter of request by the Danviüs Farmers' and Mechanics' Institut? that I should deliver an address at its fair, I reply as 1 did last year. Some years ago I delivered an a 1die sat the Winnebsgo County fair, and was received with great courtesy. Thsre I was among friends, for my memory went back to the months of Jane, July and August. when, as a Lieutenant upon the stair cf Colonel Zachariah Taylor, I was stationed at Prairie Da Cbien, or Fort Crawford, as it was then known, and during the memorable and historic Blackhawk war it was my good fortune to hlp in protecting the pioneer settlers of that country, whose descendants I spoke to at Kockford. I cau not come to Illinois this year. Thanking the assiciatioa through you, 1 have only to say, as I said last September in an open letter to Colonel J. L. Scharr, of Baltimore, that I deny tbe charges made against me by Giaeral William T. Sherman, in which he says I was foremost in encouraging the late war. I say to yoa, my dear Colonel, tbat I did all in my power to prevent the late war, and that I never looked for nor aspired to the post of the chief or executive of tee Confederate States. "I may say tbat the order of the War Department to return the captured flags to the late Confederate States was a violation of all known military precedents. You will find in my history of the late war that there were but twenty-six regiments of regular troops in the army of ths North, and of the total of Confederate flags captured it is questionable if tbe3 twenty-six regiments captured fifty. The flags were captured by tbe volunteer army of the North, and belorg to tha teverdl Statep, and bave no right to be in the National Capitol. Bespectfully yours, "Jefferson Davis " A CONGRESSMAN'S COMPLAINTPostmaster 1'earKon, of New York, Charged With Suppressing f'oluteal Circulars. New York, Jnne '22 Congressman W. Bourke Cockran has created quite a breeze here in political circles. Yesterday he wrote a letter to Postma'ter Pearson, who is a Bepubhcan, charging the latter with having suppressed a portion of his (Cockrm's) campaigh documents, and suggesting, inasmuch as an expenditure of several hundred dollars for postage stamps had been thus rendered useless, that the amount be made good to him. Postmaster Iiearson replied to this letter to-day denying that any partisan induence had been at work in his odica in the direction named. He admitted that one pouch of Cochran's circulars cottaining tickets and "posters' ' h.id hot been delivered, and enclosed a report on the matter made by a postofuce inspector by Postmaster Pearson's direction as toon as the fact was discovered, which waä oa tho 13th inst. The report says that, at the time these circulars, whico. number about 2,100, were mailed, thei-a was a large amount of this clss of matter, and there were not enough locks to fasten all ot tha poacics. This pouch of Cockran's wa3, therefore, enclosed in a bag, which was tied and sent to Station G. for delivery. As empty pouches are aometimes 'sent ia bgs in tbat way, it was sapposed at Station O. that this was merely an empty pouch and was accordingly thrown into th cellar, where it lay unnoticed till the l'dh inst , when tbe fact that it contained circulars was discovered. Congressman Cockrnn declares tbat he is not satithed wrth this explanation, and threatens to carry his complaiut to Washington. MR. TUEN II OLM INTERVIEWED. Hl Klrt Suspicions of tlie Cknk'i UaMUUUdDer a Aronncil L.nst -ril Cim iNNATt, June 2J. Hon. W. L. Treaholm, Comptroller of the Currency, who arrived here to day, was interviewed this evening regarding the Fidelity Btnk affairs. His suspicion had first been aroused In April last, wben he discovered that the Fidelity had "reserve" accounts of eighty country banks, and that its indebtedness to other banks was very large. When notice of apparent connection of the bank with tbe Chicago wheat deal was first given to the press a local examiner was directed to remain in Cincinnati and be ready to set. This was done when checks were protested in New YorC A receiver has not been appointed, bnt will be by Trenbolm. No definite statement of the bank's affairs csn be msde until after the receiver takes charge. The Government had acted as soon as there was tangible evidence of wroDg-domg. The sensational feature ol to day's proceedings was tbe surrender late this afternoon of E. L. Harper aad B. E. Hopkins by their boodrmen. Desperate efforts have been made by them to night to get new bondcnien, but at a late hour they were unsuccessful. This evening J. W. WiJshire, the b-oker who took tbe checks of tbe Fidelity Btnk to Chicago to try and hold up the market, was also arresierd, charged with aidi g in the willful and unlawful misapplication ef tie fnnds of the bank. He gave bon Is in Later ILsrper and Hopkins, being unable to lind bondsmen, were takea to jail about 11 o'clock. ejLJ ' i A Multitude of Ailments.

Locisv:llf, June 22 In Kentucky's shame, tbe lawless county of llowan, was this morning enacted what will beyond all doubt prove the final chapter in the bloodiest mountain Vendetta known to tte history of the State. The culmination was reaciitd in the tragic end of foar desperate rxen, who forfeited their lives whiie resisting the mandates cf the law. Aftr the destruction ot thousands of dollars worth cf property, and, up to this writirg, the Ices of twenty-one lives, Bowan Connty csn now return to peace aud prosperity. Craig Tolliver, the famous desperado, was probably the immediate cause of the outraged law being vindicated. To-day s good work ends th8 succession of tragedies that have been enacted in that county since the beginning of the MartiaTolliver feud, not quite two years ago, the result of which np to date has been the Etnding of twenty-one sjuls into etertiiiy, the maimirg and crippling for Me of at least a scora more of persons, the destruction of all social relations ana of nearly the entire buir.ess interests of tte country, and tbe bringing abont of a state of lawlessness aud terrorism that have driven good men, w:th their lamilies, away from home and friends to seek tew homes in other parts of the country, where they might live without belrg in constant fear of thtir lives. In the August, 1SSI, elections, after a heated contest. Cook Humphreys was e'ected Steril! of Bowaa County by fortj-srven majority over Saru Goodwin. Durinc the crnvass many animosities were engendered te Martins allving ttemseives with Humphreys and the Tolliiers with Goodwin's cause. Craig Tolliver, the leader of the latter taction, whose name ia Kentucky has grown aa notoriously fairiliar as was that of Jesse James in Missouri teverel years ago, swore after tbe election that Humphreys should never ride Bow an County as Sheriff. Since that date life 8fter life has been oDered up oa the altar ct hatred and bad blood with incretsitg frequency, despite the best erTorts of the judiciary and militia, backed by the strong arm of the State government. Tbe names of tbe victims in tte order killt d, are as follows: Solomon Bradley, John Martin. Whit IVifrey, B. CaudeHe, Deputy SherilT Baumgartner. Mason Keeton, John Marlow, John Davis, Wiley TolJiver, a railioad employe named Witcher, Willis Logan, Ben Baybnrn, John Day, Floyd Tolliver, and a party whose name is not remembered, besides the two recent victims, John B. Logan aDd W. H. Ligan. and to dsv's last, Craig Tolliver, But Tolliver, Jay Tolliver and Hiram Cooper. A special to the Courier Josraal from Lexington, Ky., gives the particulars as follows: The news from Rowan County to-day is of tLe most exciting kind, as it appears to bean indisputable fact that Craig To'liver is killed end his gang dismembf red forever. The news conies by a Lexingtoa miLister and others wbo caoie though Morehead to-day on the Chesapeake and Ohio train from Norfolk. Va., atabou: 9:30 o'clock this morniüg. When this tram was within a few miles ot Morebead it was flagged by some citizens, and wben it came to a stop theyia-fo-0;ed the conductor that a bloody batt'e wos going on in Morehead between a Sheriffs pesse and the Tolliver gang, and that it would cot be efe to proceed until hostilities ceased. Tbe passengers and traic men were all very much frightened, and at their solicitation the conductor ran the train to Martin's switch, two miles BLd a half east of Morehead. There they remained until nearly 12 o'clock, when they were notified that the fighting was over and that the train might pass through the town with safety. The train stopped for some time at Morehead, and there the passengers lesrned tbe particulars of the rattle, which appear to be about as follows: SterifT Hogg, presumably acting under instrucions lrora the State authorities, for he recently visited Frankfort to see Goverter KLOtt, tas been for about a week quietly organizing a very larg pose of determined men in tbe upper part of Rowaa County and in the adjoining counties for the purpose of arresting Craig Tolliver, or all the party who were implicated in the murder of tbe Logan boys some two weeks ago. Craig Tolliver bad received intimations of this, but they were so vague that be surpose J the party would be regulators inttead of a Sherifl's posse. Tolliver and his party, consisting ot about ten men, were quite indigLant, r. d went heavily armed to meet tvery eastward bound tiain at the depot to search for suspicio' s characters and to see tbat no one got oiT at Morehead but those whom they desi ed. Sheriff Hogg equipped his la'ge par y with Winchester rilies, and the an unition was secretly conveyed to his rendezvous while he was organizing the posse. llveiything was ready for the move on tbe Tolliver gang several days ago, but, as it was known that neither be nor any of bis men would peaceably submit to legal arrest of any kind, it was deemed best to have the plans thoroughly matured before taking any decisive step. It was finally determined to attempt the arrest of the assassins Wednesday, Jane 22, in the day time, to prevent any women, children or inoffensive citizens from being killed by accident. Accordingly at an early hour this morning people living on the line of the railroad, within two or three milfs of Morehead on each side of tbe town, were notified to stop all trains and inform the conductors of what was going on in Morehead, so that the passengers and train men would not be placed in danger, sheriff Hozs's band of resolute men, numbering probably more than 200, appeared suddenly at Morehead at about 8 o'clock this morning. A cordon was first established around the entire town in the btush where the men could notbese'in. Tbe Sheriff then entered the town at the bead of about 100 well-armed men. Craig Tolliver and his ten iollowers immediately retreated to the Cottage Hotel, which they had previously barricaded in such a manner as to make it quite a formidable fortifi cation. Sheriff Hogg then notified Tolliver that he had warrants for the Rrre;-t ot all the men implicated in tha killing of the Logan boys, and asked that they all submit pereably to arrest ander he 'w. T(riter's reply was that neither he nor his men would be arrest d, and that a hundred men could not take them. His party then opred fire upon the Sherifl's posse. Quite a frisk rattle of musketry ensued, and the f ghting was kept up probably for two hours. The oaly casualties for a time was a flesh wound received by one of the Sheriil's posse.; The attacklag party. , however, were gradually drawing thcirPnes around Tolliver s fortiilcalion, and the besieged party, finding things growing tco warm, finally concluded to
rr.eke a brld ru'.h far liberty, oa tl way tl rouiih tbe Sheriff's lines, anl t to the adjacent brusb, which, o rir.cb.td. weald afford them a secure Cspe. But as they made the rush t were tret by a tremendous vollev. wl killed Craig Toilivsr, Bod Tolli Jay Tolliver and Hiram Cooper. T
were til shot through the heart and c! instantly. Craig Tolliver seems ta h t een a general target, as he was so tl oighly riddled as to be tcarctly re' nizabiP. The other men of the gang j through safely, but as they apcroac the brueh they were met by a volley f: the outside cordon, a line of men , tioneJ ten or twelve feet ajart all around the town. This voer wounded Cate Tolliver, a twelve-ypar-i"i toy, and three others, all of whom ver csptared except Cate Tolliver, whocraweJ into tha brush and escaped. The oaer tl ree also escaped, but one was cnptrred a.'trward. This brought the battle toaa er. d, and the slain were gathered up ci laid out on the street, where they wvviewed by the people and the passeuirs from the train. ) ' DYSPEPSIA - Coi"? its victims to W Miserable, b-vv lot, confuted, and depressed in mind, very irr.lb'.e. languid, and drowsy.
