BACONIAN THEORY.

Igs&tica DttntUj'rltteinpt to Defhrma til In Elatonto Exposition of His Farthcomlrg Wcik.tha "Great Crjptcgrim." The Aationiip cf the Worli-Rwowned Plays Iwirded ta Lord Bum. TtllDUtory of tb Cipher Nrrtt v EUa Aeooant of the Bard's Character An Array of Startling Facts, Niw York, Aug. 27. The World to-morrow will contain a ery elaborate expositJod of Ahr. Isnatua Donnelly's attempt to dethrone Shakespeare, and award the honor of the authorship cf the Bo-ealled Shakespeare plays to Lord Bacon. The ar ticle is written by Piof. Tüornaa Davidson, well known scholar, philosopher and critic whose opiaioos as to Mr. Donnelly's work cannot (ail to carry great weigat. Davideon has recently paid Mr. Donnelly a Tialt at his home at Hastings, Minnesota, xamintd the manuscript ot his forthccuicg work, the '-Great Cryptogram," had tbe main features of the cypr.tr explained to him and obtained permission to reoort. Before examining Mr. Donnelly's work, Mr. Davidaoa was an entire skeptic in regard to the the Bacon theory; bat he now admits that he is very much shaken in his belief that the plays we're written by Shakespeare, and declares that if they had come don to us without any author's name attached tkey would have Been unhesitatingly attributed to Bacon. He says he reached this conviction altogether apart from the cypher. The article gives a brief summary of the results reached in Mr. Donnelly's book which it to be published about th 3 fic3t of December by the firm of R. 8. Peal A Co., of Chicago. The book is divided into two parts, an argument and a demonstration. The former collects, arranges, and sums up all the arguments that hare been put forward in the last thirty years in favor of the Baconian theory and adds a lar&,e number to them. The author rim endeavors to show that the education and character of "William Shakespeare were ruch that it is even riJicaloas to mention that he could have written plays which are distilled from all the wisdom and learning of the world. lie shows that his education must have been extremely meagre, while that of the author cf the!p!avs was broad and deep. He emphasizes the fact that we have no record of any atudy on the part cf Shakespeare. Hia account of Shakespeare's character will certainly be a surprise to moat readers. He shows aim to have been steeped la almost every kind of vice, to have been a fornicator, an adulterer, a userer, an oppressor of the poor, a drunkard, a sjscetnatic liar and forger of pedigrees, dying in the prime of life from the results o! a THREE DAYS TJBrSKEJT ETREfi. The next shows that we hare no reord that Shakespeare ever owned a library or even a book, and that cot a simple scrip of manuscript of his has come dosrntoui, cot even a letter to any of the numerous zcen with whom he is known to have been acquainted; nay, more, that there ia extaut no letter addressed to him except one asking for a loan of mony. There is no thing to show that Shakespeare was not very nearly illiterate. Mr. Donnelly next proves very clearly that while the author of the plays was an accomplished lawyer there ia nothing to show that Shakespeare ever opened a law book or was inside a lawyers office except on usurious business It appears not only that B icon wrote ' works which he never publicly acknowledged but that he is addressed by one of his friends as the greatest wit in England, although not known as such by hia own name. Among the reasons for concealment Mr. Donnelly puts the political tendency of some of the plays, which was to encourage treason. Having demonstrated to his own satisfaction that the author of the plays was cot , Shakespeare, Mr. Donnelly next proceeds to prove that he was a j-oet. He treats of the geography of the plays, .and here he brings out BOine most tell-tale fact1?. While neitLer Stratford (where Shakespeare was born) tor Avon is ever once mentioned in the plays, St. Albans, the home of Bacon, is mentioned twenty-three times. He next shows that the politics and tbe itliziuii of the writer of the plays are identical with Bacon's politicsand religion, and that what Bacon declared to be his gTcat life purpose is f ally exemplified in tbe plajs. A chapter is devoted to Bacon's reasons of concealment and here comes out. EOME ETABTLISG FACTS. The first part of the work closes with a long list of parallelisms between Bacon's acknowledged works and the Shakespearian plaja, identical expressions, metaphors, opinions, quotations, studies, errors, use of unusual words, character, style. These parallelisms will cccupy over seventy closely printed pages. The result of the whole argument, according to Mr. Davidaon, is to leave upon the mind a strong impression that, If Bacon was cot the sole author of the plays he had, at least, a principal hand in them, supplying the scholarship, the art and the philosophy. After the argument making the authorship of Bacon probable, comes the demonstration, that is, the cipher narrative, which has alreidy aroused so much interest in the public. The article In the World tells how Mr, Donnelly come to look for a cipher and tbe laborious process by which he finally found it, (as he believes). The story is full of interest As to the cipher itself, Mr. Davison does cot claim to ba in a position to entirely satisfy the public, sot having received from Mr. Donnelly the ultimate iormula of it. He does, bowevr, express his strong conviction that Mr. ' Donned y. 1TZITHX2 A FBACD OR A "CRAHK." To clear away any feeling of this sort on the part of the public, he gives a brief account of Mr. Donnelly's career, and s.nd a -description of his simple home life In Minnesota. It seems that Mr. Connelly ij a ouiet.1 genial, country loving, studious man, devoted to thought and fond of a good joke. The picture drawn of bit life on the Miasisäippi bluff Is charrain. It bringcertam that Mr. Donnelly is not a fraud, and not likely his character, and Intelligence being taken in account, to be elf deceived, Mr. Davidson hardly sees bow the conclusion tbe cipher is a reality can be avoided. He, that ever.suspends his own judgment uutil Mr. Donnelly has said his last words. About the cipher itself, much new information is given. Its basis numbers and its modifiers are disclosed and it is shown whence they are derived. Information ia also given as to how the calculations are made, and assurance is made excepting possible clerical errors, they are correct. Borne notion of the labor gone through by Mr. Donnelly may be obtained from the statement that the slips of paper on which ht has made his calculations (he writes a fine hand and cn both aides of the sIId when tied up in a bundle, can with difficulty be lifted from the floor by a strong xnan using one hand. fOTTR ISSRHTIAL POUTTS. Mr. Davidson declares that Mr. Donnelly still reserves to himself (1) The rule determining the succession of the basis cumbers; (2) The rule determining the tue of tbeTarioua difiers; (3) The rtxla 'deterxainizg the column or page on which the count in each case ia made ; (4) The rale determing the starting point of the count In taeä ex; after the page U settled.

These, he admits, are the most important points to know, since without them it is utterly impossible to pronounce any independent judgment on the cipher. He quotes, however, from a letter in which Mrv Donnelly affirms, in the most positive and nnequivical way everything is conducted according to fixed and invariable rules of microscopic accuracy. Donnelly evidently has made the issue a very d( finite one. If such rules existed, the cipher ia a reality and the authorship of the plays settled. And a great deal more is true, for the cipher narrative contains a whole history of Shakespeare and his relation to the plays, and of the time in which he lived. The whole thing reads like a novtl written in vigorous Elizabethian Engpllb. Hero is a passage of it describing Elizabeth's treatment of Uayward, author oltrel'facf Henry IV: "Her Grace was in a fearful passion, and rising up, struck vour poor friend with the steel end of her heavy crutch. The poor wretch took to Ms heels, bat the ill-tempered old old lade followed him, striking him again and again on the head and the 6ides of bis body. Hia health was not good; his limbs were weakened with a fever he had had. Ilia joints gave way under him, and he fell to the earth. She dothhimide him, and, beading dova.

beat cert till the stick breaks." There is here bestainly no lack of vigor or definiteceos. Thse article is illustrated with numerous cut and fac- similes. THE CHICAGO MARKETS. Wheat Still Fiat Corn J airly Active Provisions Dull. Chicago, August 27. Special. The wbeatideal on Cnicago is still Mat. Values hitch up a trifle one day and drop back tbe next but the general range is as low or lower than it was two months ago when the collapse of the Cincinnati clique plunged the trade into the elough of despend. The old "World keeps taking American wheat and bidding for more notwithstanding the fact that cables are earnest &Dd that producing countries keep crowding forward supplies regardless of price. Apparantly the more active the European demand the more depressed the foreign market news and tae lighter English and Continental crop prospects are painted. The feature of the week has been the second collapse of the San Froncisco deal and the bz tumble In pi ices there in spite of tbe patched np place on the board. The clique on the Pacific coast is said to be hopelessly embarrassed, and tbeir tremendous line of grain (about 20,000,000 bushels) is almost certain to be dumped. California wheat is freely oiTcred in Liverpool, but the holders will not sell to the manipulators for fear they will not get their pay. l'ricts hre are easy, but tbe fact that they do Dot', break t hows 1th at this California do net baa been 1 retty well discounted. The bulla figure that during the past three years speculators have lost 25c per annum on 50,000,000 bushels of wheat, or 30j all told, making a grand totil of $2,00J,0. Hence, now that the price is at or be'ow the price of production, they are trjing to guess when the inevitable rer.ction will come around: C8(iG9j cish wheat looks very cheap. At that pries millers and foreigners take hold liberally, and carriers and elevator men give the mailet substantial tepport. The latter are ccmpeslng sharply for the liimUd quantity whch still remains in the city elevalora. Millers also report an active demand for flour. Wet weather in the Northwest makes news from the harvest field unfavorable. The greatest of tbe reports received by cimmifsion houses is to tbe effect that the crop in Minnesota and Dakota is not panning out as well as expected by some, four and five bushels per acre, that the berry it smaller, and that the grain is weedy and dirty and bard to handle. The visible supply is nearly 10,000.000 bubhels less than a year ago. and local stocks are now down around 6.0C0 000 buste's. These conditions ought to make speculation lively, as Boon as this eca5on cf summer dullness is passed. . Corn is fairly active and firm. The trade has settled down to the belief - that tbe crop is damaged beyond repair by drought and cow talk and fears of an early frost its added. The feeling ia very bullish. Poole. Kent & Co. have been active buyers throughout tbe week and are followed by other good houses. Receipts run slowly in an even channel and shipments are largenough to prevent much accumulation in stocks. Provisions are dull and easy notwithstanding an active trade in cash prodact. Old Soldiers to Dave a Good Time. Atlakta, August 27. The directors of U a Piedmont exposition sent 300 invitations to the veteran associations in the northwest to-day, urging the old soldiers who fought between Chattanooga and Atlanta, to revisit the battle fields during the first week of the exposition, beginning October 10. Special rates of one cent a mile each way have been secured. Taere will be a re-union of the blue and gray on KeEEe8aw mountain, with barbecues, and at night the illumination of Kennestw mountain, to close with a flight of five thousand rockets by ignited electric match from the crest of the mountain. Batteries of artillery, and soldiers will take psrt in the illumination. Pictures of Johnston and Sherman will be displayed in fire. Sherman signalling "Hold tbe Fort," to General Corse at Altoona, will be repeated from the station at which tbe original signals were sent. Monster excuifions will be rnn from St. Louis to Atlanta at the close of the Grand Army of tbe Republic meeting there on the 5,b to 8th. Senate Investigating Committee. St. Pafl, Aug. 27. Messrs. Dawes, Morfan and Davis, of the Senate Committee on ndian A Hairs, began hero this morning an investigation of the affairs of the White Earth reservation by Examining A-ent She ban. Shreban denounced the Betnlieus, three Indian half breeds of the reservation. They knew too much and made trouble for the agent. Among the charges was that the Beaulieus had drawn up a petition remonstrating against the pending treaty, and circulated it among the Indians. Sheehan takes the ground that no mixed bloods should be allowed on the reservatiore, as thfy are inclined to be turbulent. G. M. Sweet, of Minneapolis, general Secretary, Cspt. Blakely and ex-Gov Marshall all testified to tbe good character of the Boauliens and their loyalty during the rebellion and Indian troubles. The committee leaves for the reservation tomorrow. Senator Ueea'a Political View. Chicago, Aug. 27. The Times this morn ing prints the following interview with United States Senator Beck, of Kentucky: "Ia there any doubt that President Cleveland will be noxLinated for a second term 7" was asked him. "Not in tbe least. Cleveland is the only advanced Democrat the country has seen in two centuries." "Who do you think will be the VicPresidential candidate?" J ' Now let me eee; there's Colquitt, 01 Georgia, Gen. Black, of Illinois, and Assistant Post Master General Stevenson, of the same place, reading on each other's corns. My candidate is Secretary Lamar, of Mississippi. He it the Southern candidate for Vice-President. Tbetr Koxt Task.

By and by they will be sewing buttons on old linen darters for men who said they owned railroads and always travelled in their own private can.

THE CATTLE INTEREST,

Talk of a Beef Faeolno Heavy Losses by tho Producers. Chicago, Aug. 26. The Tribune this morning has a long article on the Dressed Beef Bing, and ho if it is profiting by the low price of cattle. It says it is assumed in many quarters that a beef famine is not far away. Estimates as to the destruction of cattle in the Northwest last winter are that in Montana there were about 400,000 bead, in Idaho about 100.000, xn Wyoming about 300,000, in Colorado about 50,000, or 8,500,000 head in all. During the summer, on account of the excessive drouth, it is estimated that the losses in the beef-pro-duclng States, euch as Illinois, Iowa, Ohio, Missouri, Kansas, and in New Mexico, Texas, Nebraska, Minnesota and Dakota, well the total to 1.500,000 heal of beeves. Many, however, assert these figures are far too high. Bat this is not the main fact which indicates future famine. It is now known that from fifty to seventy-five per cent, less of calves were born this spring than Is usual, owing to climatic causes, which must have its effect in time. To this must be added the fact that cattle producers have been rushing their surviving stock on the market at an unparaleled rate, and that from these and other causes many ranchmen are discouraged and are going out of business Those that are opposed to this view argae that there are still 23,000,000 beeves and 13,000.000 milch cows in the country. The bulk of these, however, enter into local consumption and use. A great uneasiness such as never before characterized tbe cattle business is manifest in business circles. The producer finds not a dollar of profit and more often heavy losses charged agiinst his account. The market price has been low oa account of the glut, for in Chicago alone over 300.000 head of cattle have been thrust on tte mart et daring the last thirty days. In order to get information on the citttie question, fully 100 authorities have been consulted, covering the entire productive area, and the views of these men, together with the facta obtained are brought together. Only the commission man with his hand ful of business, teems happy. The producer is pessimistic. The stock yards were never in a state of greater activity. The receipts in a eingle day have been 13,500 head of cattle, the largest known. Ringers from all parts of the country aboand, and each one has a different etory to tell. The yards are overflowing with stock. Money is in great demand and prices are regulated according to the necessity for cash of the producers. While some beeves a-e in tine condition, the generality are thin and tbirst-starved stock. One thing that impresses the consumer is tbat he gets beef no cheaper because tbe producer tells it for so little. Who is it gets the big sana between the price paid by tie producer and the consumer? It is hinted by ranchmen that it is a dressed beef monopoly. Interstate commerce laws have no terrors for iheso dretsed beef niea. Tbe low price of beef is their opportaulty. If they feel to keep beef do wu they will quickly purchase all that 1 oliered lor (ature delivery. These monopolists lasi notn sine;', tue proaacer and consumer alike. On every bnllock thero is a prjdt ci $10 to the dressed beef monooo'.y, and euner a joss or an even toitg lor the producer. The coneumer pja monopoly the extra f 10 profit. A WEST VIRGINIA SENSATIOM. Ex-Couaresgman Gibaou In Jail for Con. tempt of Co art. Paekersbvrg, W. Va , Auust 2 Tins entire congressional jdistrict is excited 07er the news of the escapade in which ex-Con grtssman Eustace Gibson has jast figured. Jadge McGlnnis, of the State Circuit Court, and Mr. Gibson have for years been on un friendly terms. A few days ago while ulbpon was defending a hopeless case in the Circuit Court at Huntington, he took occa bion, so it ia said, to charge that the Judiz' was open to bribery, and that there was no use trying to get justice from either the court or j ury. In Huntington, Wednesday afternoon, Gibson is alleged to have used most foul aiid vile language concerning the court, calllrg the Judge opprobrious epithets, and making use of language highly derogatory to hia judicial partner. As soon as the court reconvened Gibson wa arraigned upon a charge of contempt. Tbe court was crowded to overflowing. The examination was conducted amid intense excitement. After listening to the testimony of a number of the most repuUbls men, Judge McGinnis fined Mr Gibson $50 and ordered him sent to jail for tea days. Yesterday efforts were made in his behalf for a release from custody, but tne Judge refused to modify the sentence, and the ex-Congressman must fill out his term in jail. A STORY OF THE WAR. A Federal Colonel Becomes the Fait Mal Friend of the Daughter of a Mao lie Had Slain In Battle. Courier-Journal. 1 Epgefield, 6. C, Aug. 23. Special. The death of Col. W. R. Smith, Waich toak place in New York a few weeks since, has brought to light a very remarkable incident. Miss Rhett Myron, the principal figure in the drama, is a personal friend of your correspondent, and from her the following facts have been obtains i, with permission for their publication: llayne Myron, tbe father of this younjf lady, was a planter in South Carolina. Hlshomewasa typical Southern home, spacious and hospitable, surrounded by broad acres, and laithful slaves His family coneisted of bis wife and Rhett, who was then a little child, and the idol ot her father, as well as the pet of the plantation. At tbe breaking out cf tbe war, in the fall of 1861, Hayne Myron joined a volunteer Sonth Caro'ina regiment. Before Itaving home he had a picture of bia little girl pa nted in miniature and inrased it in a locket that he placed next to his fceart, saying, "My darling, this will be papa's shield when he ia in danger, and his sunshine when be rests;" and with eyes filled with tears he suothered the face and sunny head of his child with farewell kisses, and hurried away from his peaceful home out to tbe world of danger. S'-x months latter, in a skirmish in Virginia, Hayne Myron was killed, In a clo8S combat, by a Federal officer. Only a few wot is were sent to tbe old home to tell the sad atory. During Gen. Sherman's Invasion Into c ec anically shook hands with her aad tried to peak, but his lips seemed sealed. Bat later his manner changed to kindr.'s sod cordiality, and she was treated m ire as an honored gueet than a salaried teacber. He insisted on caying her four times the amount ehe charged for her services, and made her auties light One eveniDg she was sittirjg In tbe familr circle, telling of her past life down in South Carolina, of the spacious house with its twenty columns, of the dusky slaves, who used to sit her on their shoulders, calling her their "little queen" as tbey carried her through the cottnn fields that looked like seas of snow foam. For the first time she spoke of their father, how handsome and sad he looked as he went away on that'dreadful last day; how he took her picture with him, and told all he said. She states that she was fore ad to stop in the midst of her words, for Col. Smith turned ghastly pale and left the room. "It ail seemed strange to me then," she said, "but the meaning is plain cow." Miss Myron continued to live with Col. Smith's family for two years. "It was a haven and heme to me," she aald, "I had so long toiled and worked on our plantation, isolated from society and all advantages, it was like a fairy life had opened to me of ease and luxury; but my heart was almost breaking, as I remembered all that I had loet in these sad sweet days." Six weeks ago CoL 8mith was taken andA an lw 111 art1 av iS art rta vaalival t Vi rlaalh UVU1J 4J! VV AAV 14 AAV ivauacu sun ugbu was inevitable he expressed a desire to see I Mies Myron alone. She states that as she

n eared the bed of the dying man, she saw him holding something convulsively in one hand, as he extended the other to her and exclaimed, ''Rhett Myron, forgive me

before I die; without your pardon I can not die; come clos and listen to what I have to tell you. It was who made you an orphan; my hands are red with your father's blood. Take this," he raid, handing me the package: I found tt on his dying breasi. It ia your face ; your came and his name are upon it. Take it and forgive one who has tried to expiate the wrongs done you. Oa, can you forgive a dying man?" and the voice became faint and low. "Oh, sir, yon both were soldiers; I freely forgive," and the poor girl, who could say no more, fell unconscious upon the floor. "Thank God," he murmered, and all was over. W hen Rbett Myron recovered, the man who had killed her father, and who was later the best friend sne ever knew, was dead. In his will he bequeathed to her the eenerons sum of ?15,000. lie also left her a letter giving all the particulars of father's death. FRED. DOUGLASS TALKS. Chat About Ills European Kambles-Xo Color Uno Across the Water. Since Fredrick Douglass returned a few days ago from his eleven months' tour in the eastern hemisphere, says The Washing ton Post, the old house on the hill where he lives in Uniontown has been visited by scores of friends and admirers who have journeyed over to welcome the distinguished traveler back aain. In the afternoon be iB generally seated in the midst of a cumber of visitors of all colors, out on the spacious veranda in front of tbe house, bareheaded with his busby, white hair spreading itself out over his shoulders. To psrt ies he generally tells hia stories out on tbe veranda, individuals he receives in tte library. His desk is located in the recess of a bay-window looking out upon the green grass and the trees in the orchard aodthe large brick stable where the owaer keeps half a cozen carriages of various kinds. It is a cczy and business-like study, and cot without evidences of artistic taste in tbe way of rare pictures and statuary. Since be looked upon the woods wherein Plato and Aristotle used to walk and deliver their peripatetic lectures to their dis ciples in the days of Grecian greatness, Mr. Douglass sometimes throws open the window cf his etudy and for variety walks out upon the pathway through the orchard toward the stable. Mr. Douglass looks fresh and vigorous and active. He takes pleasure in telling how he carried his feventy yean and 230 ponnds np to the top of the highest pyra mid in Egypt, wnicb, being 472 feet above tbe ground, is only surpassed in height by the Washington monument. "There s no regular stairwayr," eaid he, "to fi8 pyra mid. The road one has to climb is very ir regular. Sometimes one has to rii9 threa or four feet at a siegle ttep. Of course," paid he, "1 bad four Arabs to help rae. Two went before and puUed or were sup pesed to pnil and two more pushed or were supposed to push behind; but I had ' to do most of the work myself. "I did not spend much time in Eglaud. In Liverpool I staid two or throe weeks, making myself familiar with that great shipping port. In London I staid only a few dajs. I might have waited longer, but it began to be so foggy that I croid over to Paris, where I spent two months. The finest scholar l met in Europe was a young negro as black as jet a fullblooded nero. He took all the prizes last year at the" College of France. A man ia cot kept down there as he is in this country on account of his color. "When I pissed through Paris on my way hone, the principal theaters of Paris were playing the works of a colored dramatist, while other pieces of which he ia the author were running at the other theaters, and delighted the gaj est city in the world. TMa same colored dramatist, Dumas, was driving in from his country place every day to watch the players rehearsing his 'Camille.1 I do not consider the younger Dumas equal to his father, but he has ability enough to have made himself rich by bis writingi. In some respects I regard the elder Damas, who waa a mulatto, as the superior of Victor Hugo. He may cot tbe generally so profound or so mellow, but, in my opin ion, with all its inconsistencies and improbabilities, Victor Hugo could never bave written 'The Count ot Monte Cristo.' The elder Dumas was born, I think, in Martinique. In the next room I have a picture of his father, a full-blooded oegro, Gen. Dumas, who was cneof Napoieors favorite generals. "After traveling through France, Italy erd Greece, I croseed over to Egypt. Rome is great, and, as the center of the Chris tia a religion, must always ba the most interesting place on earth to Christian people. The remains of the magnificent architecture of ancient Greece to be seen at Athens are wonderful. They are certainly the monuments of a great people. Eat then the great people of yesterday are cot the people of to-day. We meet no Julius Casars in the streets of Rome cow. In Athens we see some of the giants and demigods whose monument are in the Parthenon and other magnificent architectural ruins. The British, who were such wretched specimens of humanity that Julias Ocsar would not take them into hia slavery, have now developed into the greatest people in tbe modern world. Of course there are no pnre British now, but the mixture of Saxon, Norman and British has produced tbe man. ""7 "My mission to Egypt was to see it. 1 could not trace sjme connection between the ancient Egyptians end tbe African negroes cf to-day. You know tbat ancient writers on ethnology have been tryirg to cut tbe negro off from any ancient greatness. I had found the;Egyptians described as bavin? dark skin, cariv hair, h'eh cheek hones? distended nostrils, aad U ick lips. I went there to make my own observations and form my own conclusions. Of course the pure Egyptian has been mixed up very much with the Arabs, but the characteristic features 01 tbe an cient Egyptians are still preserved among the Copta of Egypt. I must say I returned from my trip with the conviction tbat tbe negeo could cot be connected with this people. The Egyptians proper are a people by themselves. They are not Caucasian, but they are not negroes. The pure negro is cot found farther north on tbe African continent than the Soudi. Tbe Soudanese are genuine negroes, ai l a fine race cf people they are, intelligent and brave. As soldiers the English pref-ar the Soudanese to the Egyptians." "As enemies yoJ mean?" No, Ballicp. ; "The negroes will have to look to the future and not to the past for the greatness of their race. They cannot establish their claim to the glories of old Dypt; but who knows that ia tbe courss of time they may not change places with those who still repard them as au inferior lace. just as the British have cbangeu places with the Romans. America beats tbe wor'd for material civilization: we are bet ter fed. better housed, better clothed, and I think generally better instructed than any people living; but in moral civiliza tion America is still behind Europe and tbe Old World. Americans have not yet learned how to value human life and char acter. A negro does cot sutler in England because of his color. There I could go to tbe cburcb, to the theater, to any public place, to any hotel or restuarant, and I received renal treatment with the whitest mac in the land. In this country I can cot go into an ordinary restaurant where white people frequent and buy mysell a a breakfast or a lunch. Personally I have been permitted to enter where other col ored tolks bave been excluded; but I re mimber the howl created by the cewspa pera about two years ago when I took tbe liberty of rlsiting Dr. Sunderland's cburcb. However, the remainder of my life wiU be spent in laboring to bring about equal treatment to piaca ana white.".

FIRST BLOOD DRAWN

E&üle Bstween the Wltites &nd Colorro'i Bici of Utes Friday. One White Man Killed and Several Serlooalr . Wounded The Ctea Lota Supposed to be Heavy. Gleswood SrRiKG8, Aug. 2G 10 p. m. The arrival of a courier at this hour with a report of a fiht with the Utes, in wnich one white man was killed and several seriously wounded created a profound censaration here. When tbe news arrived Gov. Adams, who was on his way to meet Geo. Crook Lear Meektr for the purpose of hold ing a peace pow-wow with Colorow, and who leaves here at daylight, waa making a srecch at Hotel Glenwood. Hs was speaking on a resolution whicn had just been frtsented him on behalf of citizens endors- ! g his action in ordering out militia. An cClcer of the post came - into the room, and walking up to the Governor whispered something in his ear. The Governor's countenance grew pale, and, after a moment's pause, he told the gathering of what he bad just heard, and almost immediately left for General West's headquarters for consultation. This news gives a very black eye to the peace pow-wow, as it ia btlievcd that a fiht is beicg waged with ton lentirg fury. Ward, the man who ia reverted killed, is a prominent citizen of Grsnd Butte. He waa a deputy under Kendall. It is believed that the officers opet ed the ball against the Utes upon their arrival upon the scene, when they were partirg with Leslie. This engsgemeut being the first real baptism of blood since the b gisnicg of the campaign, the chances are that a more serious battle occurred today. Further news ia awaited with impatience. where tue fight occurred. ice h:ht occurred at a place six mites west of Rangely, in a little cinon between the mountains. The Indians bad planned an ambuib, but the scouts discovered it and retreated in time. The Indians then opened fire, and Major Leslie, who com manded the scouts, which were augmented by Major Hooper a Aspen volunteers, re turned the fire from behind the rocks. Tue Indians showed themselves and fought desperately, upon the first CDncantratea fire of the troops two Indians fell and one white man, Dr. Dunaüout, of Meeker, wita Kendall's band, W3 wounded. F jr two hcurs the battle raged ioce3saatly. Then the Utes re treu tea to timber, and only skirmith shots wero bred during the dy. This ccntinued until 11 o'clock last night. but no one ws injured.

Remlntnoej ces of the Attempt of the Re publicans to Drive President Johnson From Ofiice. f Courler-JourcaL Wasitikgtojt, August 25. Special. An interesting epitode is related by a gentle man cere in relation to tbe impeachment of Andrew Johnson. On tbe evening after the resolutions of impeachment of the President were passed by tbe House, Hon. Wm. E. Mblack, Hon. Jl. U. Kerr and Judge Marshall, of Illinois, possibly with fevfcial ether Democrats, went to benator Hendricks and requested him to go with tbem to see President Johnson and learn wbat course he proposed to pursue. Gov. Hendricks declined to go on the grounds, tbat he would be one of the Judges in the case, and it would be manifestly improper for him to advise with the defendant at the bar. These gentlemen then called on Mr. Jobnson and asked bim what he was going to do. He replied that be did cot think that he would do anything; that he had administered tbe laws according to the Constitution, and as far as be was concerned he would just as lave quit the White House as not, but tbat his daughters, Mrs. Stover and Mr. Tatterton, thought tbat it rould be hamiliatinp to leaveWashington in that wav. He at firet refused to employ any counsel, and seemed determined to let the case go by default. It is 6tated that Secretary Seward of bis own volition employed Evarts to defend the President. Some of the friends ot Johnson went to see Jerry Black, and eotrght his professional services to defend the President, but Mr. Johnson had given Mr. Black such deep offense in refasing to interfere in behalf of some of bis (Black's) clients tbat he refused to give his services in defense of the tbe President sgainst the R-idical majority which then was' doing its best to destroy the remaining vestigea of constitutional government. The gentleman who relates these par t;culars was in Washington at the time tbe vote on impeachment was taken, and received thrse facts from participants in tbe memorable events. He describes the pcenes on the avenue as excoeding anything In popular excitement he baa ever witnessed, and remembers seeing Senator Headerson, who was chairman of the convention that nominated Blaine, getting out of his carriage just after coming from the Senate, where he had voted against tbe impeachment. . There was a big mob cf negroes on the street, and they shouted, "Hang him, hang him!" at the Senator, and it was only because of the lack of a leader that Hecderson escaped being hung to a lamp-post. The gentleman adds to this reminiscence that at the time of the impeachment the Forty-second IWulars were camped back of the White House. Col. Sbea, cf Lexington, Ind., was a captain ot tbe legiment, and was familiar with the seutiment of the regiment, and seys tbat they bad determined that if there was any attempt to oust the President from the White House forcibly they would have organized, and there would bave been a bloody battle right at the Presidential Mansion; that it had been, in fact, resolved upon to resist to bloodbhed any attempt to remove the President. Baraed to Death. TorEKA, August 24. About 3:30 o'clock this morning the barn in which the horses belonging to the city police force are kept was set on fire and a man and four horses burned to death. Shortly after the flames were put out , the charred remains were found to be CoL G, C.

When ladies make calls they should always leave the children at home, particularly if the children are addicted to . precocity. A capitalist and hia wife recently moved to Austin, and among the first to call on the new-comers was Mrs. Judge Pet rhy accompanied by her little daughter, Mamie. After eorae conversation the wife of the capitallft remarked:

"I have frequently read your husband's

came in Texas Sittings and other papers." "ies," said Mamie, boastfully, "yon can find pa's came in the Austin papers every time land is sold for taxes. They've got him on the list."

Mr. Coon ia a reliable Democrat A Ronttnel rornrlar acVsd Me Hnnn f.i tre condition of the mail 8 r rice in his district, and he said : "I don't think it was ever in better shape, and I would say emphatically that the very best men I nave are Democrats who have just entered ttetervlce. I cannot tell why, bat the new clerks seem to take more interest in tbe work than any of the old experienced men." "How many Democrats ar8 thera In the service now?" "In my district there are about GO per cent of the entire number, while throughout tbe entire division there are still more." "Will Frank Hurd again ba a candidate for Congress in your district?" ' I bad a talk with the great free-trader the other day and he said he was going t) try it again. I rather hope he will not, tht ugb, btcissa with a compromise candidate tne district is 2,000 democratic, and Mr. Hurd has so many envious enemies in the party that I fear he would be defeated." Mr. Coon left for his home late last night. 11 a -p , 1 r THEY AGREED TO COMPROMISE A South Carolina Woman Gains Her Point With a Sixteen Shooter. Coixmmia, S. C, Ang. 25. Information received here ia to the effect that a few days ago tbe assistant superintendent and reed master uf the North Eastern railroad, accompanied by the BheriU of Williamsburg county, with a material train and force of hands, proceeded up a tram road owned by T.

Mr. Willoughby was absent in Philadelphia. In the evening when the train was letded and ready to ran oa tte main line. Mrs. Willoughby, a haadseme Kentucky weman, took a position on tl e road ii front of the engine and refused to allow the train to pass out. A sofa and recking chair were there acd she "held the fort" til night and declared she would remain there until her husbsnd returned. The railroad attorney arrived and attempted, unsuccessfully, to make the woman vacate. On the evening of the second day tbe railroad attorney ordered the train to run cut at any cost Mrs. Willoughby had aimed herself with a sixteen shooting rifla end as tbe tram came down uj?n her, inlUaa of moving, she covered the engineer with a tum and orderei him to halt which he did wittont a second orde.

A cold ou'rage at Maple Grove, tixteen xnlle3 from this city, was last evening reported to the po lice. D. L. Hiller lives upon a farm near that place with his motherand his brother. Yesterday morning while the brothers were absent from the house at work two men cal ed at the house and asked tor something to eat. Mrs. Hiller complied with their request, and when they bad finished eating one of them pickei up a poker and threatened to kill her. The old lady begged them to spare her life, whereupon tbe brntea dragged her to the cistern and threw her in. The cis'.ern ia tW9lve feet deep and wss half full of water, but Mrs. Hiller clung to the lead pipe of the pump and managed to keep afloat until neon, when her sons returned, and she was taken out in an exhausted condition. Investigation showed that the tramps ransacked the housa and abstractel $170 ia cesh and $1,050 in certificates of deowitf upon the First National Bank of Minneapolis.

The Cjumissioner of the General Land Gifice haj received from John C. Möhler, of Silioi, Kas., a petition to have his homesteii entry within the granted limits of tbe Kansas Pacific Railroad reinstate! under the act of March 3, 1S77, whica provides Tir tbe adjustment of railroad grants and for tbe lorfeiture of unearned iands. It is claimed by Möhler that his entry was erroneously cancelled, since under the Danmeyer decision, the land excepted from tie grant on account of a previous preemption entry, which was filed in Jane, lSSß, while the road was not definitely located until May, 1807. The commissioner has reierred the petition to the Secretary of the Interior with the recommendation that it be granted. It is stated that there are are a large number of similar cises in Colorado and Kansas. Scolding the President. New York, Anz. 25. The Worll this morning bays: The President nearly a week alter his dispatch was sent to the Pacific railway commission, baa furnisbed a ropy of it to tbe press. In it he said to Governor Pattison: "Upon, your statemeat tbat, in your judgement, counsel should be employed, I authorize and approve such employment." If this had been given to the publio at the time, th-re would have been no misunderstanding of tbe President's action. When, however, Mr. Cleveland attributes that misunderstanding to "the misrepresentation of opposition newspapers" he seeks to correct a mistake with an injustice. If tbe President would take the public into his confidence more frankly and display openly a little earnestness in the prosecution ot corroptionists and the breaking up of rings, he wcold have less occasion to complain of being misrepresented. The World Now Breathes Freer. New York. August 25. After a week's deliberation, it was determined last night that Jay Gould's grandson, the black-eed little fellow who came to Mr. and Mr?.
