Senor died leaving no will, and his American widow gets nearly a million dollars, while i.nree millions is divided among liis for.y-four children,- most of them illegitimate and free persons of color.

A German tailor named Ivreitner, who recently started business in a Western town, performed last week the astonishing feat of walking away from wifo, children, and creditors, with four suits of heavy clothing on his person, tho thormomcter showing tho while 96 degrees of heat.

A certain genial bald-headgd gentleman, while in Paris, went one day to the Zoological Garden. The lieat was oppressive, and ho lay down upon a bench. Presently ho went to sleep, but was soon awakened by a warmth about the head. An infatuated ostrich had come a'oog, and, mistaking his bald head for an egg, settled down wiih adete.rmination to hatch it out.

A ritualistic wedding in St. John's Church, East Hartford, Connecticut, makes somo small stir. Tho Eucharist was administered, tho wedding ring blessed, and tho sign ot the cross mado over it and over tho elements when administered a procession was headed by a crueifier with a silver cross, lighted candles were employed, and white satin crosses and embroidery decked the ushers and rector.

Tiie Cuban journals are filled wjtkprotests against the language of Diaz Quintero, Deputy to the Spanish Cortes. Quintero, in a speech to the Cortez, stated that the Cuban volunteers wero a dishonor to the country. Tho Colonels of the Havana volunteers will send a document to Spain to-morrow asking that the Cortes censure Quintero.

About eighty colored people who removed from Opelousas, Louisiana, to Hayti, iu 18G0, for the purpose of enjoying freedom and independence under a negro Government, without any limitations as to raco, color, or previous condition, have just returned to New Orleans, poorer and wiser than when they went away. They say that the native Haytians are much fonder of whisky thau of work that they are improvident and reckless, and that the Island is by no ineana as fruitful as Louisiana."

The Campaign.

In an article a few day ago we made an argument going to show that there are men enough in this district, who have heretofore voted the Republican ticket, to elect Mr. Dunn to Congress. In that argument we did not take into consideration an element which existed ia this district two years ago, and which added much to Mr. Voorhees' strength, that does not exist here now. We allude to the Irish element which was then at work on the railroad running through the counties of Owen and Grc-en. That road being now finished, about two hundred and fifty men, who, two years ago, voted for Voorhees, have left the district. Without the assistance, then, of the colored vote, we ought to poll a majority for Mr. Dunn, for with this element of 250 Irish Democrats, voting solid for Voorhees, he only beat Major Carter 128 votes. To say nothing, therefore, of about 800 colored voters, every one of whom will vote for Mr. Dunn, this Congressional district is Republican.

Success in politics, as well as in anything else, depends in a great measure on proper management. In every district and county where the parties' strength is pretty evenly matched, there is a floating, vascillatiug vote which holds the balance of power, and that gives success to whichever party controls it. This unsettled vote must be controled by proper appliances and management. There is but little use in spending time in convincing men who are already convinced. It is the "Lost sheep ot the house of Israel," to whom the political gospel must be preached. To men whose minds have faltered, or whose judgments are not yet made up, must the Republican missionary be sent. Documents showing tho past record of the Democratic party, and comparing it with that of the Republican party, should be scattered everywhere. Papers advocating Republican ideas and economy, should be put in the hands of all the people. Good, short, pointed speeches, that can be read in thirty minutes, should be sent broadcast.

This should be done by the county committees, and aspirants for county offices. It is their business, and if they will not do it, it will not be done, and if they will not do it, they have no business filling places that other men would fill who would do just this necessary kind of work.

It requires more than simply .building wigwams, to carry as warmly contested political campaign as the one before us. There must be work on the part of the men selected to work, and continued work up to the day of the election.

PERSONS

in writing for the press, should

bear in mind that it is important they should write on only one side of the paper. Communications, are often thrown in the basket for no reason, except' that of being written on both sides of the paper.

Saratoga—John Morrissey in a New iiole. The tournouts at the first days races at Saratoga were both elegant and promiscuous. Commodore Vanderbilt accompanied by his handsome young bride, drove on the track behind "Dayson and Burns" and "Post Boy"—a team that the day before trotted a mile at Glen Mitcheil. Helmbold's six-in-hand dashed up at a spanking pace, while other teams shot in through the entrance gate right smartly. Presently the lion-eyed Morrissey observed five notorious thieves and desperadoes from New York driving up in an open barouche. John Casey, the leader of the swaggers, and who shot a man Albany last winter, jumped out of the carriage to buy tickets for the party. Mr. Morrissey stopped and asked Casey whether he and his friends had not made a mistake. "I guess not I'm going in," replied Casey, with an oath. "Think it over first coolly," remarked Morrissey "you might think better of it." Saying this, Casey attempted to iter the gate. Mr. Morrissey caught him by the collar and told tbe bruiser he could not be admitted. The latter immediately put his hand on a pistol, and in a menacing attitude, said, "This is a public race track, and I am going in any how." "I will make you think it is a church before I am through with you, and if you dare draw that pistol on me I'll make your" eat it, "said Mr. Morrissey. TKe belligerent Casey was handed over to the officers and confined in the lock-up until after the races. But for the shrewd forethought of Mr. Morrissey, five hundred thieves would have flocked on the track if Casey had gained admission.

The great sensation of the day, however, was the purchase by Mr. Belmont of Kingfisher, for $20,000. It seems that the owner of the horse, while driving at the Club in company with Belmont, Travers, Lorillard, Harry Genet, Oliver Charlock and others, jocosely observed that he would sell the King if he was offered $20,000 for him. Mr. Belmont immediately closed the bargain and bought the horse.—Boston Post.

FROM what we can gather from our dispatches, as to the position of thePrussian forces, it would appear that they are concentrated in immense strength around about Mentz, on both sides of the river, with one wing resting on Heidelburg, on the south, and the other at Coblentz, at the junction of the Moselle with the Rhine, on the north. On this space there are now collected probably not less than half a million of German troops, Mentz being the centre or key of the position, and connecting with numerous railways radiating into Germany therefrom, in every direction. And aronnd this pivotal centre the war will rage and blood will flow in rivers. So long as it remains in possession of the Germans, and covers their Army of the Centre, the French will invade the Fatherland in vain.

"JOHN BROWN'S soul" has reached Italy, "marching on." That country is about taking active measures to suppress the traffic in Italian slaves. The sale and lease of children has been for generations one of the standing disgraces of the Kingdom. Parents have not scrupled to sell their offspring into a degrading bondage that they might be shipped out of the country and brought up as mountebanks, rope-dancers, organ-grinders and monkey-leaders. Men have made the stealing of children for exportation a regular profession and it has been well known that large sums of money are invested by wholesale dealers in the infamous traffic. A tolerably stringent law for the suppression of this business was introduced into the Italian Parliament in 1864. This has now been revised by a committee of the Senate, and so much improved that with reasonable diligence in its execution, it can hardly fail to answer the desired purpose.

Nothins Further from in Europe.

The negroes of Lexington, whilst parading the streets of that city tbe other night manifested abundant spirit by shouting and firing pistols promiscuously into the air and at houses, and creating so much alarm and excitement that the fire bells were rung and the State Miiitia were called out. The formation of militia and citizens with arms aroused the riotous disposition of the negroes who arose to a higher pitch when a charge was made to disperse them. Shots were freely exchanged and three white, and four or five negroes were wounded. One policeman was shot through the head and killed. The engagement was short, and the negroes quickly broke and fled in all directions. From their retreat afire was continued upbn all who appeared, and in many cases the latter were driven into their houses, or other shelter. Great excitement existed throughout

and another riot was apprehended. The negroes lay hidden in alleys and corners all day yesterday, barricaded the doors of their houses, and supplied themselves with various weapons in addition to the fire-arms they already possessed.

Assistance wras sent for which will probably be sufficient to quell the negroes and any disposition on the part of some of the whites to inflict punishment on some of them.

The city fire department force has been rcduced to-day by two men from each company. A saving of $6,700 per annum will be effected.

CINCINNATI, August 1.—The indications of trouble in Kentucky are alarming.

The Associated Press papers of this morning publish war_ne\vs that appeared Saturday afternoon in the American Press Association papers.

CINCINNATI, Aug. 1.—Some disagree ment has arisen among members of the committee appointed by the patriotic mass meeting of Germans to procure men and means to assist Prussia in the war. It is held by some that Prussia does not need men, and that it is proper only to obtain means to provide for the disabled soldiers of the Prussian army. The others, however, maintain that in accordance with the promise conveyed to King William by telegraph, and with the instructions of the mass meeting, by which they were appointed, they should provide transportation to ihe number of young^men desirous of returning to participate in the war. Many of these latter are l'urloughed, and are abstaining only from enlistments of American citizens. One portion of the committee should see that it is their duty to provide means for them to return. Already one young man has walked to New York and engaged to work his passage to Europe on a vessel.

The 1'rint-ers to Strike—1Trouble with Indians in Arizona.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 31.—The Typographical Union of California and Nevada have resolved to strike to-morrow for the standard price, 75 cents, instead of GO.

A Tucsola, Arizona, dispatch of the 17th, states the Indians are very troublesome. Nine men have been murdered by them within the past ten days. The army is inactive.

The Aristocracy of Rascaldom. Now what is one of the most frightful characteristics of our present mode of doiug business? Is it not the building up of great fortunes out of colossal robberies? And the thing is done by a series of sensational addresses to the cupidity of the cheated. High interest notoriously goes with low security but we have, sir, in this country, a class of rogues who may be called the aristocracy of rascaldom, and who get rich by dazzling and astonishing others into the hope of getting rich. They are the contrivers of enterprises which propose to develop the wealth of the country, but which commonly turn out to be little more than schemes to transfer wealth already realized from the pockets of the honest into those of the knavish. They are the financial footpads who lure simple people into stock "corners and proceed to plunder them. They make money so rapidly, so easily, and in such a splendid sensational way that they corrupt more persons by their example than they ruin by their knaveries. As compared with common rogues, they appear like Alexander or Ca sar as compared with comman thieves and cut throats. As their wealth increases, our moral indignation at their method of acquiring it diminishes, and at last they steal so much that we corns to look upon tiieir fortuues as conquests rather than burglaries. Indeed, their operations ou Change vie with those of military commanders in the field, and are recorded with similar admiring minuteness of detail. They are the great sensations of the world of trade, and have, therefore, more influence on the imaginaitons of young men just starting in business than the dull chronicles of the great movements of legitimate commerce.

Now, sir. take the universal American desire to get rich, and combine it with the rapid, rascally way of getting rich now in vogue, and you will find you are breeding up a race of trading sharks and wolves, which will eventually devour us all. Honesty will go altogether out of fashion, and respectability be associated with defect of intellect. Why, old robber barons of the middle Ages, who plundered sword in hand and lance in rest, were more honest than thi3 new aristocracy of swindling millionaires. Do you object that I am getting into a passion Whv, sir, I have purchased early enough the right to rail.

How Ghtnamcn Cook and Ear. Four hundred Chinamen recently passed through Council Bluffs, and stopped for dinner. How they cooked it and how they ate it, the JVonpariel thus describes 'They cook their dinner in large bowlshaped stew-pans, placed over trenches made in the earth. Their meal consisted principally of rice, though they had a large stew pan of something that looked like hashedjmeat and vermicelli. The cooking finished the whole was dished up into numberless tin pans, and handed around through the cars.^ Seated or squatted in groups of five or six around these pans, each man held in his right hand a pannikin or bowl previously filled with food, while the two chop-sticks were held between two fingers of the left hand and so managed as to open and shut like a pair of pinchers, the feeder conveying his food from hand to mouth by this means with a dexterity worthy of a firstclas professor of legerdemain. The chopsticks are simply two sticks of wood, about as thick as a lead pencil, and about seven inches long. A man unused to them might become very hungry before he learned to manipulate them with proper effect."

THE Philadelphia North American is getting alarmed at the size of the Canadian army, which, it claims, consists of "40,000 volunteers and 600,000 reserves, with a spare force of 90,000 British regulars at home to draw upon in case of emergency." The population of the Canadas is about equal to that of Illinois—three and one-third millions, all told. Out of this they can easily maintain a force of 20,000 men, and in case of a draft "to the last man," they might raise it to 200,000 men. Let not, therefore, the slumbers of the City of Brotherly Love be "broken by terrors of the Canadian stand ing army, with its 600,000 reserves.

THE Hon. Patrick S. Gilmore is of the opinion that the European war will be ended by next Juno, the reason being probably, that the Hon. Patrick is going to produce his Great International Musical Festival about that time, and doesn't relish the idea of his success being impaired by any Franco-Prussian imbroglio. Boston is appalled by a rumor that Gilmore has been offered $125,000 to take his great festival to New York, and is seriously considering this proposal.

IT is said that the reason for calling the Democrats in Virginia Conservatives," is the aversion of tbe old Proiid Whig element of the State to that hated name." 'r

NEW YORK, July 31.—Patrick Devey, in charge of professor Morse's property opposite Nathan's house, watched a carriage in front of Nathan's stable from half past twelve until half past one o'clock on Friday morning, when a man jumped on the box and drove away. It is believed that the carriage contained Nathans' murderers. The reward now offered for their arrest amounts to §25,000.

The Nathans murder remains a mystery. Many people seem to believe that a son of the Victim is the criminal while another theory is that the murdered banker was followed from' Morristown, New Jersey, by an unknown man who concealed himself in the house for the purpose of robbery. It is probable that no real clue to the affair is yet in possession of the police.

Cincinnati.

CINCINNATI, July 31.—Yesterday about 3 o'clock, Wm. Senpe, a German living in the southeast corner of Greene township, about five miles from the city, made a murderous assault upon his sou Frank, aged nineteen years. Senpe's wife had returned from market, where she had been unsuccessful in disposing of all her produce. Senpe began to scold and abuse her, when Frank came up and remonstrated—Senpe seizetl a shot gun and pointed it at his son and snapped a cap Frank's hat fell off as he was running away, and he came back to get it, and his father leveled the gun again, and this time shot his son, the charge tearing away a great quantity of flesh from his chest and under the right arm. Senpe at once sent for a physician, and when the police went after midnight to arrest him, he was asleep at his door. His son is said to be mortally wounded, and Senpe says he will notlive after his son dies. He sent a letter to his family from the station house, this morning, asking his son's forgiveness, and concluding thus: "The winter is long, and it burns."

The Agent of the Executive Committee, appointed at the St. Louis Convention, for devising* means to secure the removal of the National Capital, has secured Pike's Hall in this city for the next Convention, which will be held October 25th, 1870.

St. Louis.

ST. LOUIS, July 31.—A project is on foot here to build an immense structure to embrace under one roof a grand union railroad depot, customhouse, merchants' exchange, hotel, railroad offices and other places of business. The building will occupy three entire blocks from Fifth to Eighth street, and from Washington avenue to Green street. This includes the site of the burned Lindell hotel.

From the bridge now building the trains will pass through the tunnel under Washington avenue to the passenger depot, which will be 22 feet under the surface of the ground thence westward to the Great Union freight depot, to be erected on the ground formerly occupied by the Choteau pond, and through which the Missouri and Pacific railroad runs. The build.'ng is expected to cost three million dollars.

The sanitary condition of the army is excellent. The skirmish of the 26th gave some idea of the comparative merits of the needle gun and the chassepot, though, owing to the shortness of the affair, the test is not complete. The Prussians commenced fire at a distance of 800 metres, and they fell short 100 metres. The French fired almost simultaneously, and some Prussians were killed.

It is said the French troops will not evacuate Roman territory until September.

The convention between Italy and France for protection of the independence of the Pope is re-established.

GREAT BRITAIN.

LONDON, July 31.—The Lord Mayor gave a grand banquet to the Minister) last night. The guests numbered 250. The usual royal toasts were given and drank with cheers.

Gladstone, alluding to the war, said the Premier regretted his inability to confine his retrospect to topics of peace. He asked in the name of wounded humanity and grieving civilization and religion, could anything be more deplorable than the sight of nations of the highest civilization, with institutions nearly perfect, famous in every department of history and the admiration of the world, rushing into conflict and mutual slaughter. The issue was difficult to state or appreciate, and no intelligent mind could suppress horror at the spectacle. Gladstone then spoke of England's position in the war as follows:

The first idea of England is neutrality,her second idea is preparation for the worst. Her neutrality is not indifference, nor is it selfish isolation. It is dictated by the necessity of mitigating the evils of war, confining them within the smallest possible circle, and retaining power to intervene at the proper moment. Nothing will be done to forfeit the friendship of either party, and nothing will be omitted to retain their confidence, so that we may avail ourselves of the first opportunity for renewing our efforts at mediation in a quarrel the most mournful and miserable ever witnessed by mankind.

The excitement over England's position continues, and the government policy is denounced. It is thought the government will introduce a supplementary war budget.
