Os the evening of the 36th a man named George E. Adams was arrested at Buffalo, N. Y., on suspicion. He has since confessed that he threw the Lake Shore trains off at Lake View and Northeast, Pa., causing the death of one man at the latter point; also, that he was the pretended hero at Fairport, near Rochester, who saved a New York Central train by arousing a farmer near and telling him that he had seen several men tearing up the rails he had misplaced himself. He claims that his object was to make sympathy with the railroads, and then get employment; that he intended to flag the trains on the Lake Shore Road, but was too late in both cases. Adams was formerly a brakeman on the Lake Shore A Michigan Railroad. The counsel for Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, in the suit for alleged malicious prosecution brought by Francis D. Moulton, have served upon the latter's counsel notice of application for a change of venue on the ground that the selection of an impartial jury in Brooklyn is impossible because of the great divisions of public opinion among those from whom the jury would have to be selected.

Av the great coal sale which took place in New York city on the 29th, prices ranged from 32.75 to $3.90 per ton—a decline of from one to two dollars a ton. These low prices had a depressing effect in the Pennsylvania mining regions, the coal operators contending that the nrices brought will compel them all to suspend operations, unless the tolls and labor can be reduced to a much lower figure than the present, with the chances against them even in the case of great redactions, as the miners will hardly submit to lower price* than are now prevailing. The Democrats of Berks County, Pa., have renominated Hon. Heister Ciymcr for Congress.

Vierna telegrams of the 25th say that Prince Milan had on the night preceding made definite propositions of peace and had asked the mediation of the foreign powers. Gen. Tchcrnayeff had telegraphed that the operations in the vicinity of Alexlnatz had resulted in utter defeat to the Turks, they having lost 15,000 in killed, wounded and prisoners. The Servians lost among others thirty-one Russian officers killed. Austrian territory had been violated by a Turkish force which crossed the frontier and carried away a large quantity of provisions and killed one man and wonnded another. Austrian troops had arrived at the frontier, and it was thought hostilities impended unless the act were disavowed by Turkey and proper reparation were made. A Belgrade special to the London Standard of the 27th, says the Porte had declined to listen to the peace propositions of Bervia until after the surrender of Alexinatz. It had also demanded that Prince Milan should address his demands directly to the Turkish Government instead of through the medium of the foreign Powers. A London dispatch of the 28th says Schuyler’s report to the American Legation at Constantinople fully Confirmed the previous reports of Bulgarian atrocities. Much of the slaughter had been done by the Turkish regulars. Mr. Schuyler declares that sixty-five villages had been burned 1 and 15,000 men, women and children killed. A Belgrade special of the 28th says that Gen. Tchemayeff’s reports of his victories atAlexinatz were generally discredited. The Turks claimed to have achieved a victory. According to Belgrade dispatches of the 29th, ihe agents of foreign powers had handed a note to the Servian Prime Minister in which they state that they had been instructed to stop further hostilities. At a grand council of Ministers, held at the Turkish Capital on the 29th, It was agreed to depose the Sultan and proclaim Abdul Hamid. Lord Ribblesdalb, step-son of Earl Russell, has committed suicide in Switzerland.

CENTENNIALITIES.

—The fellow who couldn’t get a julep on the Centennial grounds has made up his mind that Philadelphia is not the proper place for the mint. —lt ia authoritatively announced that the proposed trip to the Centennial Exhibition of a party of members of the British Parliament has been abandoned. —The first and only plow made by Daniel Webster is on exhibition at the Centennial. Daniel never held it but once, and you can see where his heels knocked ithe splinters off. —“ What kind of a picture would you prefer, Miss?” inquifeaa Newark photographer of a young lady customer. “Well,” was the reply, “take me with an expression as if I were writing a poem on the Centennial.” —At the request pf the Centennial Commission, President Hurlburt, of Middlebuiy College, Middlebury, Vt., will deliver in September one of the series of educational addresses which go to make up the Centennial course at Philadelphia. —The coolest of all the Exhibition buildings is the Main Building, and the hottest is Machinery Hall. But the latter department contains more that is worth seeing and learning than any on the grounds. At least such is the opinion of thousands who have seen all the prominent features of the show. —The California Fruit-Growers’ Association are so well pleased with the success of their recent fruit exhibition at the Exposition that they have decided to continue shipping fruit hither in liberal installments. They are determined the world shall know what a grand fruit-rais-ing country the Golden State" is.

—A movement has been started bv Mrs. Col. Forney anl other prominent ladies of Philadelphia, looking to the purchase of the Bartholdi Fountain for the sum of $5,000, to endure permanently as a memento of woman’s work in the Exposition. As the Pavilion is only a temporary structure, something else more enduring is required to perpetuate the honor due to womanly genius and enterprise, as exemplified at tj>e great Centennial Exhibition. —ln the Main Building there is on exhibition an instrument or apparatus which, when attached to a piano, an organ or any other instrument having keys, writes the notes, accidents and musical lines of the mnsic which is being played on the instrument. It is the invention of an Italian, and musical people pronounce it a suepess. ■ —A “distinguished foreigner,” captured on the Centennial grounds a few days ago, had a pocketful of love-letters which nad been written to him by young women who had been dazzled by his style and title. The investigation showed that neither his title nor his clothes belonged to him, and his feminine correspondents are by this time extremely unhappy. —A timid-looking little man, having a bare spot on the side of his head, came out on the stoop a few evenings ago, with a Centennial flag in his hand, to hurrah for his favorite candidate, but as his wife happened to thrust her head out of the window at that moment, he suddenly checked himself, and asked: “Jane, dear, who is my candidate?” —Burlington Iluvckeye. —The Centennial Commissioners hope to have an average daily attendance at the Exposition of 100,000 during the months of September and October. If their hope should be realized in this respect, the total receipts for the entire six months will probably reach nearly or quite $lO,000,000. Nothing less than these figures will satisfy the Commissioners.

—The Bavarian display of hops and beer is a notable feature of the German exhibit. Bavaria ranks high among the hop-prodneing countries of Europe. The culture of hops in Bavaria occupies an area of 44,500 acres, and the average production is about 250,000 cwt., each year. Nuremberg is the center of the German hop trade, and has over 120 hop bouses. Beer is manufactured in Bavaria in about 500 breweries, most of which goes to supply home demand. Hie annual prodacuon in thAl wmntiy mnnnnU to 835,887,000 gallons. The export to the United States at beer in 1878-4. amounted to $33,075. Very many packages of the finest fewer Germany can produce are on ediiUta.

POLITICAL ITEMS.

£ir Our advices from New York are that Hayes will carry the Stato by a sweeping majority. Tilden is losing ground steadily.— Cincinnati Gazette. tST “ Hayes is dry—he needs rain,” exclaims an exchange. Yes, and he will have it. It will be a reign of peace and prosperity for four years. — Washing - ton IlepubUean. Hf' The Bt. Louis platform commences every resolution with the declaration that “ Reform is necessary” for this, that and the other tiling. We submit to the indorsers of that platform fhatßeform” is especially “ necessary” on the part of the Democratic candidate for President in the matter of making an honest return of his income for taxation, and Reform is very necessary in his ideas of the wrongfulness of perjury and the sanctity of an oath. —Chicago Tribune. ts~ The Hartford Courant, in noticing the Democratic glorification over the announcement that Gen. McClellan has published a card declaring his devotion to the Democracy and Tilden, says: “This will hardly be surprising, as the little General has been acting with the party ever since he allowed himself to lead it to disastrous defeat in 1864, upon a platform pronouncing the war a failure. The General calls on his old comrades to stand with him once more, and they will respond just as enthusiastically as they did twelve years ago.” CS'The Democrats are vigorously denying that Tilden refused to sign the call for the great Union meeting in New York in 1861. Gen. Dix satisfactorily settles the point in the following letter: Seafield, Fort Hampton, N. Y., July, 1878.—Dear Sir: Yours is received, _ and I hasten to reply to it. Mr. Tidlen did not unite in the call for the great Union meeting in New York after the attack and surrender of Fort Sumter. But he reiused to attend it, though urgently solicited to by one of his own political friends. The meeting was called for the purpose of sustaining the Government, and to provide for sendivg troops to Washington, which was thought to be In danger of an atta k by the Confedcrates. This fact was publicly stated when Mr. Tilden was a candidate for Governor in 1874. I am, dear sir, truly yours, John A. Dix. W. E. Webster, Esq. In response to the call of Abraham Lincoln for volunteers to put down the slaveholders’ rebellion Gov. Hayes enrolled his name, and said: 1 would prefer to go Into the war, if I knew I was to die or be killed in the course of it, rather than live through and after it without taking any pari in it. In the midst of the struggle against treason and rebellion Samuel J. Tilden was applied to by a young man of high character for a recommendation to certain State officers with a view to raising a regiment of volunteer Union soldiers. Mr. Tilden replied: Youne man, you need not come to for any such letter or recommendation. This wa is outrage and I will lend no assistance whatever to its prosecution. There is no equivocation about this reply to the young man who wanted to serve his country. Mr Tilden said flatly: I will render no assistance whatever to the cause of the Union against the Confederacy—not even to the extent of writing a letter. — lnter-Ocean. **' ■'

DEMOCRATIC REFORM.

List of Union Soldiers Displaced by the Democratic House to Make Room for Confederates. - The declaration of the St. Louis platform, made and repeated with frequent reiteration, that “ reform is necessary,” is well illustrated and sustained by the manner in which the civil offices under control of the House of Representatives have been filled and administered during the present session. The same facts will perhaps suggest that the reform which is necessary will not be secured in the civil service by intrusting the Administration to the Democratic party. One of the most striking facts shown by the record is the utter abhorrence which the Democratic party, through its Representatives, exhibits for the Union soldier and the love of those who bore arms against the Republic. No protestations of loyalty will stand against such a record of Union soldiers dismissed and rebel soldiers appointed. On this point little need be said. The list of names shall tell their own story. The column on the left hand contains the names of employes discharged, and the column on the right those appointed. The Union soldiers discharged have their names printed in small capital letters. The names of Confederates appointed are in italics. A star designates the Union soldiers who were disabled by wounds received in the service: OFFICERS REMOVED AND APPOINTED BY THU DEMOCRATIC HOUSE.

An examination of the table shows that there were discharged from the Doorkeeper’s department twenty-three Union soldiers; from the Clerk’s office, nineteen Union soldiers; from the Postofflce, thirteen Union soldiers; from the Capitol Police, two,- makjffi£~#fty-seven Union soldiers discharged by the Democratic House since its organization last December. A number of these soldiers were disabled in the'service.

There were appointed in their places, as far as can be ascertained, in the Doorkeeper’s department, nineteen Confederates ; in the Clerk’s office, ten; in the Postoffice, fourteen; Capitol Police, one, and three committee clerks—making forty-seven Confederate soldiers appointed. The names of many of the employes of the present House, such as extra messengers, folders and extra committee clerks, cannot be ascertained for the reason that they are paid upon vouchers instead of a regular roll. A great number of these extra employes are ex-Con-federates, and if the facts could be ascertained in all the cases, the number ot exConfederate soldiers appointed would be found to exceed the number of Union soldiers discharged. The Postoffice rolls show the most wanton disregard by the Confederate House of the obligations of the Government to its disabled soldiers, tfliere nearly every man discharged served in the Union army, and with two exceptions every man appointed was a Confederate. —Republic Magazine.

Teaching Politics by Parables.

Suppose a man were to approach another and say: “ When I was in your employ before, Itried to bum your barn, and my chief regret is that I did not succeed; but I am poor now, and I demand your watchman’s place, because I have a suspicion that he sometimes feeds his horses out of your oats”—would it be a convincing argument to a sane man? Suppose a man were to approach another and say: “Once, when you and your wife and little children were asleep, I set fire to your house. But for vour watchman and his brother, I should have destroyed your whole family. I killed the brother, but this watchman finally put out the fire and drove me away ; and now, in your own behalf, I demand that youidischarge that watchman, for I have been told that he sometimes takes a pie out of the pantry and goes down to share it with the cook in the kitchen”— would that argument probably be effective with a careful man ? Suppose a man were to approach another and say: “ I was in your employ for twenty years. Because of my inherent cussedness and my natural and acquired vices, you discharged me. As I left I stole your best horses, robbed your safe and your smoke-house, and fired your bam; but things have gone wrong with me since, and I want my old place, because I am anxious that you should be honestly served”—would that be considered the best logic in the worid ? Suppose a man should approach another and say: “ Some years ago I set fire to your grain as it was shocked in the field; the fire unread beyond your lines and destroyed myhouse and bam. I think it is now only fair for you to pay me the full value of my oroperty, with legal interest, and for the rest of your natural life give me charge of your property and all the net

profits arising from it!”—would that be held as reasonable talk? Suppose a man were to approach another anu say: “ A few years ago, when your sons had gone to d rive away some scoundrels who had tom down your inclosure and were slaughtering your herds, and when you liegged me to assist you in your distress, I answered that I would not. I told you I hoped your sons would be killed and that your property would all be destroyed, and I have never taken back a word, but I honestly think now that it is your duty to drive from home those sons and give me charge of your business”—would that appeal be liable to have weight with a tender-hearted parent? Suppose a man should come to another and say: “I wa» in league with a band of robbers. When they were seeking to rob your house and steal your stock, I pretended to be your frienu, but told you the best way to deal with them was to let them have their own way. You would not listen to me, but drove them oft', though before that was accomplished they killed your firstborn and destroyed so much of your property that it has been hard times w ith you ever since. lam still a partner with these fellows, but they are good men now, and have delegated me to say to you that if you will turn off your remaining sons and leave your business to them and to me, we will put you on your feet again”— would that be convincing proof for the listener? Suppose a man should go to another and say: “Some years since, when you were fighting for your life and your property, a neighbor came to your side. He rushed into tlio flames to save your house; he charged upon and routed the foes who were assailing you, and at last, when all was peace, broken and sorely wounded he went aw r ay. Another went up into the observatory of his house to see your house burn. He forbade all his employes going to your support; said it was a shame to fight with, pitchforks when he had shovels in plenty, and at last demanded, for the peace of the neighborhood, that you should let your house burn and should ask of the robbers on what terms they would desist from burning your mill. Now both these men want the position of confidential bookkeeper from you, and I came to say that your business interests would be greatly enhanced by employing the man who staid at home when you were in trouble, because he is a very sharp man and shrewd business man, ana besides is the intimate friend of the fellow who fired your house” —how would that seem for logic ? And yet we are treated to columns of the same argument every day by the Democratic journals in the country. —Virginia (Neo.) Enterprise.

The Great American Defendant.

From having been long a defendant in. nearly all the United States courts of the country, Samuel J. Tilden has come to be a defendant in the court of last resort to the politician —the high court of public opinion. Fortunately there the case may be tried upon its merits, as if the offense were committed but yesterday. And thereit is being tried; nay, it has been tried, and a verdict of guilty rendered. In order to defraud the Government of the United States out of certain moneys rightfully belonging to it, by virtue of the law of taxation, Mr. Tilden swore falsely—raised his right hand toward Heaven, and, calling God to witness that he was telling the truth, told a falsehood. ’ls it any injustice to Mr. Tilden to call him a “ criminal,” and to say that he deserves punishment instead of being honored by being Governor of the chief State of the Union? We cannot see that Mr. Tilden has a right to complain if he is urged to resign his Gubernatorial office. It is to be expected that he will keep his oath of office, when he is known to have violated an equally solemn oath?' Is it fit that Mr. Tilden should continue to be acting as Governor of New York after it has become notorious to all people of that State that he ought to he indicted ? The question has been asked: Will Tilden withdraw from the Democratic Presidential ticket? It is of no consequence whether he will or will not withdraw. The people will take care of his Presidential aspirations. His perjury is as formidable a bar to his elevation to the Presidency as if ( it were proven in a court of justice. It is no more necessary to prove Tilden’s guilt before a court, to keep him out of office forever, than it was necessary for the Senate to convict Belknap under the House articles of impeachment, to keep him out of office forever. The people do not elect such men to office. The man who sold posttraderships to the highest bidder, and the man who swore to a lie to defraud the Government, bear upon their brows the brand of infamous crimes. Whenever they appear in public, the people are reminded, by their presence, qf their guilt. They are ticket-of-leave men who may ply their traffic in the seclusion of private life; but they may not again enter the places they have disgraced.— lnter - Ocean.

Paris in Summer.

The correspondent of the New York. Tribune finds Paris the most tolerable of great cities m hot weather. He gives as a reason for Parisian comfort the fact that Frenchmen live out-doors as much as possible during a heated term, while Americans shut themselves up in-doors, or sit on a stoop.or a curb-stone, as in New York. He pictures all Paris dining oa the boulevards in a lively description, which makes us wish the fashion might be introduced into American cities. He admits that there are drawbacks to summer enjoyment in the brilliant Capital. The asphalt has a way of liquefying to about the consistency and the temperature of molten lava; the brilliant limestone of which the city is built reflects the sun with uncomfortable fierceness, and the inordinate amount of gas in all the thoroughfares heats and thickens the atmosphere,, and makes you feel on a July night as if you were in a vast concert hall. But there are a hundred persuasions to invite you out of doors. T7»e boulevards are a long chain of cases, each with a little promontory of chairs and tables projecting into the sea of asphalt. You may dine & the Champs jfilysees at a table spread under the trees, beside an ivied wall, and pay more for vour dinner, though it will not be so good as at a restaurant on the boulevard. Yon may indulge in * cheap idyl by taking a short sail m & penny steamer down the Seine to Auteuil, and dining in a guingette on the .bank of the stream, where the table is spread under a trellis that scratches your head, and fried fish is the chief article on the bill of fare. Or yon may dine at the Bois de Boulogne, at a restaurant near the Cascade and the Longchamps race-course. Here are stately trees, picturesquely grouped, irreproachable tables, ana carriages rolling np with high-stepping horses and depositing all sorts of ladies. The drive back through the woods is charming, and the air always cool, no matter how hot the city is when you reach it.
