SPIES JT AL. Arguing the Case of the Condemned Anarchists Before the Supreme Court. Vhex the case of the condemned anftrcfa tots came tip in the Supreme Court at 'Washington on Thursday the court-room
packed bv people anxious to hear the
arguments. Turee hoars were evenly divided between J. Randolph Tucker and Attorney General Hunt, of Illinois. Says A Washington dispatch: Each made a clean and strong argument, an 1 both wero very closely listened to and seldom interrupted by any meiaber of the court. Mr. Tneiier got along swimmingly while he explained to th' court that it was only necessary for bis side to show a convict between the act on tot the Illinois courts and the Federal Constitution in order to entitle iiia clients to a writ ; whether the conflict amour ted to a repugnance ras to be settled it tbe fcrit were granted at a Blearing on tbe merits of the question, and he did not arouse tbe court while he was explaining in eloquent fashion the unconstitutionality of trying man before a jury soiae of whose members had read about the crime in the papers. But -when he began to argue that the first ten amendments, while originally restraints upon federal lower, were injected into the substance of tbe fourteenth amendment so that the provisions of tuat amendment really covered everything in the first ten amendments, Justice Field smiled increduously and remarked that he was giving the fourteenth amendment a pretty wide construction ; and a few minutes afterward, when Vr. Tucker was explaining that the petitioners had been denied the right to peaceably assemble and discuss public all airs, Justice Miller, ii entire unconsciousness of Mi. Tucker s labored argument, that the four teonth amendment had the effect of investing the first ten amendments witn a new and Additional power, reminded the speaker that the fourteenth amendment; was a restraint upon Federal power alone, whereupon Mr. Tucker started in again to explain that the test ten amendments were by the fourteenth amendment made restraints upon State power as we 1 as Federal power. This exposition of the fourteenth amendment received a severe blow when Attorney General Hunt cited tee opinion of the court, made only two and a half years ago in the Pressor case, also an anarchist case, and also a case from Chicago. Pressor was convicted by the State aourts of violating a law which limited to the regularly-innsterod State militia the right to parade the streets with arms. He appealed to the Federal Supreme Court on the ground that tee right to ear arms was guaranteed to him try the Constitution of the United States, and teat this being so, the right to bear arms was one of the rights and immunities of citizenship which the fourteenth amendment guaranteed to him. The court held that the second amendment was a restraint upon federal and not state power, and that the fourteenth amendment had nothing to do with the case. Thus it will be seen that the Pre3Ser case was closely analogous to Mr. Tucker's presentation of the present case, and in the Pressor case the State law was upheld. The argument for the day concluded with some brief remarks by Mr. Hunt on the impracticability and absurdity of ttie claim made in Gen. Butler's brief for Spies and Field en that they were subjects of foreign powers, with which the United States had troaties guaranteeing the subjects of those foreign powers, in our territories, certain rights of trial, and that the treaties antedated the Illinois act of 1874 regarding the admissibility to juries of certain persons, and that Spies and fieldert had a treaty right to be tried by a jury impaneled in accordance with what was the law in force in this country at the time the treaties were ratined.
REPORT ON INDIAN SCHOOLS. An Average of 15,000 Pupils Educated at a Yearly Expense of $1,095,379. The annual report of John B. Riley, Superintendent of Indian Schools, to the Secretary of the Interior, shows that the Aggregate expenditure by the Governm ent for the education of Indian children during the year was $1,095,379, of which 9719,833 was on account of Government boarding-schools, and $308,299 foe the support and education of pupils at contract boarding-schools, mosc of which are tmder the control of religious denominations. The whole number of Indian children between the ages of 6 and 16 years is 39,821, of whom 14,932 attended school some portion of the year. Where schools have been established for several years the prejudice exhibited by the Indians gainst education has largely disappeared
Prince Xrapotklee Tells Why the Anarchists Should Not Hang. Pbxnce Keapotkike, the great nihilistic king, says a Paris dispatch, has writ ten a long letter from Harrow, England, snaking a stirring appeal on behalf of the Chicago anarchists, that makes a sensation in political circles.
Minor Telegrams. 8. W. Kawsok, the Chicago banker, is ecoTering slowly from the wounds in Jttoted by his step-son, Lee, and his physicians say that his prospects for return to health are good. The Michigan Salt Association has determined to stop the manufacture of salt from Dec. 1 to April 1. in order to reduce the large surplus now on the market The manufacturers and flint-glass worktn are unable, it is suid, to reach an understanding, end a strike is imminent, which will involre about 5,000 persons. Ik spite of the rainy weather, thousands of people from Virginia and adjacent States were present in Richmond, Va., ou Thursday, the ceremony of laying the corner-stone of the Lee monument. A number of prominent ex-Confederate generals took part in the parade. Nkgboes belonging to the Knights of Ltbor are causing trouble on the eugar plantations of Louisiana. They demanded increase of pay, and, on being refused, went on a strike. They refused to permit willing men to nil their positions, and State troops were dispatched by Gov. McEnery Thursday to quell any disturbance they j&i&ht cause.
EAST. At a meeting of steel manufacturers held in Pittsburgh a cbange was made in the classification of the different grades of teel. A New York special says: "The fact freeame known at a late hour to-night that rlenrr Martin Jackson, the Cashier of tbe Sub-Treasury here, was a defaulter send had fled to Canada. The discrepancy in his accounts was first discovered last Saturday, when he failed to appear at his desk. A hasty ex aaaination by Treasurer Canda show
ed a defalcation of $10,000, and this so far seems the extent of the theft from the Government. The matter has been kept very quiet by Mr. Canda, although it is understood that he has pursued inquiries sufficiently to assure himself that Jackson is in Toronto. Henry Martin Jackson iR the son of the aged Secretary of the New York Tract Society, who lives at Rosoville, N. J. He is 36 years old, and has been connected with the Sub-Treasury over fifteen years." Mb. A. J. Drexel, the Philadelphia banker, says that the stories that have been published about a stringency in the money market have been greatly exaggerated. He speaks encouragingly of" the business outlook for the comiug year.
WEST. The thermometer at Billing, M. T., on Monday night, registered 15 degrees below zero. Four inches of snow had fallen. Fargo (Dak.) special : 'The cold wave that struck this section list night sent the thermometer down to six above zero, lied River was frozen 6o that persons cross on the ice. Olaest Bettlers do not remember a season when it froze over 60 early. n Mason City (Iowa) special: "The first heavy snow of the season in this section of the State fell Monday. It snowed almost continuously throughout the entire day. In the morning it was accom panied by a heavy wind. The ground is frozen several inches, and it ends the plowing for this year. Farmers are well prepared and protected for the winter." A Gaylord (Mich.) dispatch says: WA terrific snowstorm has been raging here for two days, and the snow is now eight inches deep." A Waupaca (Wis.) dispatch says snow fell there to the depth of s ix inches. The boiler of the engine of the John II. Glass thrashing outfit exploded on the farm of George Irwin, near Frederick, Dakota, and John Glass, Ira Gardner, of Gardner, Dakota, and Fred Banmasler were killed. Two others were fatally wounded. Eatj Claire (Wis.) special: "Considerable excitement was created here recently by the reported discovery of gold one mile from the west bank of the Chippewa Kiver, and about fifteen miles from its month. Specimens have been brought here of high value, and a mining company will be formed. n Albuquerque (New Mexico) special: "Additional details of the depredations committed by the Apaohe Indians near Holbrook, Arizona, are that nearly all the ranchmen in that neighborhood have suffered loss of cattle by these murderers, and have at last determined to take the law iu their own hands, owing to the red tape programme in moving troops stationed near the reservation,thus allowing Indians to escape. The ranchmen have submitted to these outrages for the sake of harmony, and the howl put up by the Indian Humane Society, but have come to the conclusion that as Governor Gulick, in hit; last message to Washington, recommended that these Indians be sent to Florida with Geronimo, they are now justified in defending their stock against these thieving Apaches, and the war of extermination may commence at any time." SOUTH' The Mayor of Tampa, Florida, has sent out an appeal for aid in behalf of the sufferers from yellow fever in that city. A Bio Gbande City (Texas) dispatch says: "Starr County, along the border of Mexico, is in a state ot terror. Mexican bandits ride in gangs through the streets of this and other neighboring towns at night, and the officers of the law dare not show themselves. Saturday a party of bandits come to town and mailed two letters at the postoffiee, one to Manuel Guerra, of Soma, and the other to Senor Donacino Garcia, of this place, notifying them them that unless they immediately raised 15,000 and $8,000 respectively for the bandits their stores would be blown to atoms with dynamite. Gov. Ross has been appealed to for protection, but thus far no response nas been received. The United States cavalry located at Ringgold barracks, near here, are of no service, because of the official red tapo necessary to move troops from the barracks on short notice. Before the order from headquarters could arrive the town might be sacked and the bandits safe in Mexico. Stage traveling in this section is at present dangerous." Perbt King and Drew Green, negroes, were lynched at Tallulah, La., for attempting to .commit a burglary. Austin (Tex.) special: u Gov. Ross has received information that Mexican bandits are raiding into Hidalgo and Starr counties, driving off stock, and in one instance carrying off a woman, for whom they demand a ransom. Capt. Jones company of rangers was ordered there to give protection." . WASHINGTON, In order to expedite matters, Justice Harlan, of the United States Supreme Court, on Friday, Oct. 21, refused to consider the application for a writ of error in the anarchist case alone, but directed counsel to bring the matter before the entire bench. The application was therefore made in open court by General Pryor, who stated the points upon which he relied to show that the case involved Federal questions. After reciting briefly the history of tho case, Gen. Pryor said he would call tbe attention of the court to only two points which he relied upon to show that the caso at th bar presented Federal questions, and that such questions empowered this eourt to take jurisdiction of it, and to grant the writ of error prayed for. The first of these points related to tue jury by which the prisoners were tried. The Legislature of tho h'tato of Illinois passed iu March, 1874 that is, after the id option of the fourteenth amendm ent to the Constitution a law to regulate and govern the inipanelmunt of juries in the (State courts. I3y virtue of that law a jury for tb trial of criminal case uiiht be made up .u part, at least, of jurors who had formed an pionion with regard to the guilt or innocence of the persona accused jurors who were partial and even prejudiced men. Tbe law mad 3 it pos ible to put in tho jury box men who had formed an opinion as to the prisoner's guilt which could not bo roxnoved except by strong evidence. This, he believed, had been done in the case under consideration, and the petition asserts that this statute and tho effect given to in in the courts below had deprived them of their rights and was about to deprive the ni of their lives vithout the "due proeei.s of la w guaranteed by tho Federal Constitution." The Chief Justice remarked that the only question for this court was whether the statute was constitutional. It the Court ired in its administration of tho statute that was a question for tho Stato courts, (ion. Pryor replied that the action oi the Stae court war the action of the htate. If the statute was uduiinistered unfairly it was a State action, and that brought it with'n tho ;inr sdiction of this court, Mr. Pryor's second po-nt wan that the petitioners had been compelled in the trial court to be witnesses ugaiiiftl themselves. Home of them were on tha stand, and in ipite of tho protests of their counsel they were compelled to submit to an unrestrained cross-examination and to criminate themselves. Compelling a man to testify against himself is not duo process of law. i-'uithenn re, after their arrest the police, without any procrrss of law, Irok" open their private desks und extracted from them letters and other criminating evidence, and these letters, pot without due procesn of law, were used against them. When tt eir objection was raise 1 it was overruled and an exception was tuken The Treasury Department will issue no more silver certificates or otber paper currency in denomination below five dolhrs
A Washington special of Sunday says: "The Supreme Court met yesterday afternoon in consultation, and took up the application made yesterday by the counsel of the condemned anarchists. The consultation was not a long one, but the agreement was reached that the earliest moment at which the appeal could be argued would be Thursday next. That will afford tho State time to send its representatives here to bo prepared to answer tho arguments of Messrs. Butler, Fry or, Black and Tucker. As soon as the court had reached its decision word was conveyed to the defendants' counsel, and the clerk of the court was instructed to notify Attorney General Hunt, in order that he may attend. The general opinion among lawyers here is that the case, as presented by Gen. Pryor for the condemned, is a weak one; that as presented it was wrapped up in a great deal of language that Will be easily stripped off, and that the only point really io be decided is as to the constitutionality of the Illinois j.iry law." Pbesident Cleveland and party reached Washington on Sunday, the 23d inst. The President expressed himself as heartily glad to get home, though as heartily glad that he went away. During the three weeks of his journey Le traveled forty-five hundied miles, passed through seventeen States crossing three of them twice and saw and was seen by several millions of American citizens. There were no brass bands, no committeemen, no crowds at the station in Washington, and it is nothing uncomplimentary to the people whom the President has visited to t;cy that everyone of th touiists was glad of it. After breakfast; the President and Mrs. Cleveland drove out to their country home at Oak View, where they spent the day. The Supremo Court on Wednesday, says a Washington special, denied the motion of Attorney General Bradford of Kansas for a rehearing :.n the prohibition cases. Chief Justice Waite, who rendered tho decision, said that Mr. Bradford's Bttitoment of facts in his at'idavit exculpated him from any blame of negligence, but as his brief in the case covered all of the points involved the Court did not see the necessity of rehearing the arguments. Mr. Bradford left for home ot once, and Mr. Packard, whose motion was also denied, lias left the city. Mr. Packard believes that the situation of the Prohibitionists is more hopeful. He thinks from what the court said to-day that the cases will bo determined in favor of the constitutionality of the Prohibition law, for if it had any doubt upon this very important question it would have waived all rules of procedure to hear everything that could be said upon it in order to protect itself from criticism.
INTERSTATE COMMERCE. A Washington telegram says: Three more complaints from George Mice of Marietta, Ohio, against the Standard Oil Company have been received by the Interstate Commerce Commission, making thirteen in all. The commission had no healing to-day. To-morrow it will hear arguments respecting the liabilities of expre&s companies under the interstate commerco law. A communication . has been received by the commission signed in behalf of fourteen commercial associations of Boston, antagonizing the project of the Boston Chamber of Commerce, which claims that the practice of allowing an export rebate on shipscents from tho West via Boston to foreign ports is an unjust di6crim:.naiion against local consumers, and seeks to have the practice shopped. The communication, while favoring a revision of rates declares that any change compelling the export trade to pay moro for shipments by way of Boston than by way of New ifork would ruin Boston's export trade. The Interstate Commerce Commission on Wednesday gave a hearing to tho representatives of a great many railroads upon the subject of the annual reports to be required from carriers under section 20 of the act to regulate commerce. The auditors or other officials of the leading railroads of the country, to the nuriber of more than thirty, were in attendance, and gave their opiuions colloquially upon the subject in hand.
POLITICS.
Congressman Kelley, of Pennsylvania, says that if the Democrats should introduce the repeal of the tobacco tax m a scheme of revenue revision as a separate measure, the Republicans would accept it, but if it should be connected with one to reduce the customs duties they trill oppose it. The exciting political campaign in Baltimore terminated Wednesday ith the election of a Democratic Mayor by a majority of 4,205, a gain of 2,000 since the last election. The City Council will consist' of twelve Democrats and eight Republicans in -the first branch and seven Democrats and three Republicans in the second branch.
GENERAL. Bahtley Campbell, the dramatist, is rapidly recovering his health. The storm that raged on the lakes on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday, says a Chicago special, caused some serious and many minor disasters. Word comes from iSand Beach, Mich., of the wreck of tie barges Dolphin and Morris, and a dispatih from Cleveland states that the iichoouer Zach Chandler is broken in two on a bar off Noble Station, ten miles east of tint city. A large vessel foundered near Poit Dilhousie, Ontario, and rivo persons were lost- The propeller Delaware was driven ashore near Cheboygan, Michigan. The echooner Zack Chandler was beached near Cleveland. The schooner George Hhermin went to pieces off Marquette, Mich. The schooner James F. Joy sunk in It'll feet of water, off Ashtabula, Ohio. Numerous other craft wore driven nshoie by the tremendous force of the gale, and many of them will prove total wrecks. Tha losses will reach into the millions. H ok ace Webbteu & Co., the insolvent wholesale liquor dealers of New York, Ciaicago, and Philadelphia, owe $705,730. Their assets are valued at $250,000. President Cleveland has issued tho following proclamation: The goodiices und th; morcy of God -which have followed tho Aiuorican people during alt the ctayH of tho Inbt year claim thoir mttful rorog ition mid humble acknowledgment.

A BUSY LIFE ENDED.
Excavations in Jerusalem have resulted in the discovery of remains of the ancient town wall und the position of the gates of the town during the lifetime of tba Savior. News has reached Belgium that Stanley, the explorer, has advanced about 780 miles since last heard of. Aug. 25 he was in excellent health. He had met with a friendly reception from the natives m a hitherto unexplored country through wh.ch he had to pass. As a precaution Stanley has had intrenched camps constructed in all his halting places. .A cable dispatch states that the Czar visited Copenhagen with the view of taking decisive action with regard to Bulgarian afiairs, and that he has formed an antiGerman alliance between Kussia, Belgium, Holland, Sweden, and Denmark. Other powers are expected to join the alliance.
STATUE OF LINCOLN. The finest product of American sou pture yet achieved has become an ornament of Chicago. Says a special from that city: i'lio colossal bronzo statue of Abraham Lincoln, by Augustus Raint-Gaudens, tho foremost of Amoriean ceulntorft, was unveiled at Lincoln Park, ou Saturday, tho 21st iuafc., in the presence of a vast concourse of people. The veil waa withdrawn by Abraham Lincoln, son of Hon. Robert T. Lincoln, and Hon. Leonard Bwett. the distinguished lawyer and a lifo-long friend of the great emancipator, delivered the oration. Mr. fcaint-Gaudens is a native of New ork, and 35 years old. He doroted three years
xbm 8'rATtra xnrvxrxsn. to this magnificent work of art. He sought to embody in the figure the dignity and nobleneaa Of the' President's churactc-r. His purity of artistic feeliutf made him scorn any accessories incongruous or inconsistent. SimiuV, lofty, strong, kind, but plain, honest, riggei Lincoln thif, was the ideal of the work. That it is faithfully effectuated in bronze all who have seen the "statue affirm. The figure of the great War President, whiia Is cloven feet iu height, sta:ids juat a little to the front and left of a chair of state. The idea meant to he conveyed by the sculptor Is that ho has just amen to receive a delegation whioh has waited irjon him. 1 hf left log is advanced, the weightof the body reaning niainlv on tho right, while tha head is thrown forward a little, bringing Lincoln's stoop hit"' prominence. The right arm is hold at full length behind his back, while the left arm is thrown across his client, the fingers grasping the lapel of tho long, old-fashioned frock coat which Lincoln usually wore. Tho expression is thoughtful and what may strike many as melancholy. The chair from which tho President is supposed to have risen is of largo sh:ov with a rounded back, and is highly ornamented with carvings of oau leaves, pine conoa, and palms. On tue back is an eagle with outstretched pinions.

Deanh at Chicago of Hon. Eliiiu B. Washburne, Ex-Minister to France.
The Friend of Lincoln and GrantMany Times Congressman A Notable Figure.
Hon. E. 13. Washbnrne, ox-Minister to France, and a conspicuous figure in recent American history, is dead. He passed away at the residence of his son in ;hicago, on Saturday, Oct. 22. He had been ill for several weeks, but was thought to be on the road to rapid recovery, and his death was a surprise to the community. He got up in the morning, as usual, and dressed himself, and while he was being

shaved by the barber who attended at the house he complained of feeling a pain in his heart, which he described as a cutting Eaiu. The larber and Mr. Washburne's ody servant lifted hira to the bed and bathed his feet, and after sitting there awhile he said he felt all right again, and then laid down. Somo hours afterward he got up to got a drink of water. Mrs. Washburne, hearing him. moving about, went to his room, and he was almost immediately attacked by the acute pain in his heart His body servant led him to the bed, and on lying down he turned over on his side, and in a few minutes expired. The only member of the family present was Mrs. Hempstead Washburne, who was holding his hand when he died. Mr. Hempstead Washburne was at his office down town, and was at once summoned home by telephone. Elitu B. Washburne was born at Lirermore, Oxford County, Me., in September, 1816. He entered tho office of the C'Artotian I'A telligencer at Gardner, Me., in June, 1833. He afterward studied law, was admitted to the bar, went Wet and located at Galena, 111., in 18 10. Beings Whig he did good electioneering work for his party during the Harrison campaign and was a delegate to the Wtig national convention which nominated Henry Clay in 1844. Mr. Washburn was a member of the National Whij? Convention which nominated General Scott in 1852, and the same year was elected to Congress through the support of the Free-soilers. He was re-elected in 1854 by a majority of 5,000. He continued to represent the district term af tei term, his majority iu I860 rising to 13,511. Mr. Washburne acted as Chairman of tUe Committee on Commerce in the Congres:.' of 18G2, and later became Chairman of the Committee on Appropriations. He occupied a conspicuous position in the councils of tho nation during the troublous years of the rebellion. After repeated re elections he at length became the "father of the house," and as such swore in as Speaker Schuyler Colfax and James G, Blaine. He was the opponent of every kind of jobbery, receiving for his vigilariee the so briquet of wthe watchdog of the treasury." Mr. Washburne was a stanch personal and political friend and supporter of Abraham Lincoln. He was also one of Gen. Grant's earliest and best patrons. Being Congressman of Grant's district, he used bis influence at every step of Grant's career to secure the latter's promotion. It was chietly through his elforts that Grant was made a Lieutenant-General and afterward General of the armies of the United States. Mr- Washburne was an opponent of the practice of making grants of the public lands to railroad companies, and frequently voted against extravagant appropriations for public buildings. He waa chairman of the committee of the whole which discussed the impeachment of Andrew Johnson, and brought in the rirst postal-telegraph bill. The establishment of national cemeteries was also largely due to his efforts. Mr. Washburne was appointed Secretary of State by President Grant in 1869, and resigned his seat in Congress, which he had held for twenty consecutive years. After a brief tenure of office his health compelled him to resign. President Grant offered him the French mission, which he accepted. The Franco-Prussian war shortly afterward broke out, and the delicate questions of diplomacy and international law that arose taxed his abilities to the utmost. He succeeded in seeming from the Foreign Department of France protection and Bale conduct out of that empire for all Germans who felt it dangerous to remain. When the Commune raised its banner in Paris, Mr. Washburne was the only foreign Minister who stuck to his post, and the foreigners of every nation looked to him alone tor protection. He remained in Paris during all the carnage that followed in tho wake ot the Commune, and made a strong but ineffectual effort to save
tho life of Arc j bishop Darboy. He received the thanks and recognition of nearly every nation for his services to their subjects during tbe dark days of the siege of Paris. Shortly after the war th order of the Rod Eag'e was conferred on him by the Emperor of Germany who also presented him with his portrait in oil and a letter expressing the warmest affection and regard. After President Hayes election Mr. Washburne expressed a desire to resign, and soon returned to bis native country, making his home in Chicago. He received 44 votes for President in the Republican National Convention in 1880. Ihe same year he withdrew altogether from political life and devoted his leisure to literary pursuits. "Hkinaert de Vos," or "Reynard tho Fox," a satirical poem, written about 1250 by William Van Uteukoven, a priest of Aerdenburg, was for centuries the most popular work ever written. It waa translated into many languages. Charles H. Leake, of Goochland County, Virginia, owns a really ancient relic in the shape of probably the oldest Bible in America.

Chioago special. Sheriff Matson has a& yet made no preparations that he is willmg t? give for publication. The circumstance attending th&case make such a course or. his pail wiseAs far as the actual work of setting up the? machine; of execution i concerned, it. can bo done in a very few hours, and otber necessary details can be arranged at very fclior; notice. Thereis a feeling in some quarters that the Governor may great a shoit respite upon proper application in order to give the condemned time to prepare their souls for eternity. The Sheriff disl ikes his job extremely, and feels that in view of the uncertainties in the maiter any parade of arrangements sooner than is necessary is in poor taste. "The time is drawing near," remarked Jailer Fete, as his eves rested on the palefacets of the doomed men. "Dolhey say anything about it?M he wa asked. "Not a word. They ain i a bit changed, was the reply. At that moment Fielden, with his longr thick hair and beard bunhy and defiant was leaning indolently against the iron railing just in front of hi; cell, in an attitude of seeming indifference. Parsons had his soft black hat ja mtily cocked on one fiide of his head, and seemed keenly to enjoy the prospect of hi sixty minutes' freedom without; the naiTc? boundaries of his prison home. Hi hair was neatly combed, his clothing as brushed dean, and while chattiag with three women who called to seo in an, he toyed with a cigar which he puffed from time to time. Lingg: in appearance grows more like a wild animal every day. He has broadened out across the chest sine? his confinement in jail, and appears to be i hong as a giant. His face and head are covered with a has. of intmv'table hair, and his voice is a hoarse, thick guttural Lingg is the ouly one of the anarchistswhose demeanor hasn't been changed by jail life. He is still den ant. He walks upright like a soldier and with a heavy stepr as if he wanted to crush uomething every time h3 put down his foot. A young: womart with an ample Jigrre and healthy, red face is his sweetheart, and calls to see him almost every day. She visited him this morning just a moment or two afterNina Van Zandt dropped in. Nina was burdened with sundry bankets and parcels for Spies, who took them with an ineffusive composure, just as a man reaches out for some money that has lor g been dne him The es -editor of the Arbeiter Zeifung is a. cold-blooded gentleman. His usual expression of emotion is a crafty smile, a parting of the lips in a grin full of guile that exposes his teeth, which, by the way, he brushes carefully every morning. Oniiis countenance of late there has grown, a frown. In the parlance of the street, he has the face of a "kicker." He is no worse off than Parsonn; but Parens has always a pleasant word, and he is really bearing upwith a nerve that is the admiration of the jail officials. There is not much change to be noted in the others. Schwab is as apathetic as ever. His wife, despite her pathetic appeal, will not bo allowed to embrace him before he dies 60 Jailer Folz said this morning. Engel looked like a man. who had abandoned hope; but Jbisher was talkative and sociable. None of the doomed men like the presence of merely cniious people, and this morning rone but friends called on them. CAPTAIN PAINE.

Paine, owner oi the yacht Volunteer, which beat the Scotch yacht This tie at New York, not long ago, in the race for the America's cup, which the English have in vain sgught to sec ire for a number of years back.

ones. Each succeeding vessel which is built under General Paine'a supervision and order seems to be particularly conctruoH'd to beat the preceding one, and with such a result that there is no wonder than the America's cup can be retained here from season to feasor, with apparent ease. As the Maytiower was superior to the Puritan so is the Volunteer to the Mayflower. General Paine is woll known as one of the most intelligent of the members of the Eafrxn Yacht Club. He has been very successful in his experiments upon the schooner-yacht Halcyon,, gradually improving her ;mtil he made of her one of the fastest ol! light weather yachts afloat. After these, experiments he united with other yachtsmen in the building of the Puritan, and nailed on her tpr a season, which soon gave him the impression that she could be improved upon, and he immediately gave orders to George S. Lawley, of Boston, for the construction of the sloop Mayflower.
