HE WRITES TO DISTRICT ATTORNEY DYER IN VIGOROUS ENGLISH.
Ho Was Never Interested Crooked.
in the
Th 3 Trial of Avery.
St. Luois, Nov. 27.—The following telegram, which speaks for itself, was received here this afternoon:
WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 27,
:75.
To D. P. Dyer, U. S. District Attorney at St. Louis: I learn from the morning papers that in tbe course of the trial of W. C. Avery, yesterday, a witness mentioned a rumor that 1 was interested in a distillery or liquor house at Louisville, Ky. Substantially th'e same rumor was circulated in St. Louis by corrupt officials and illicit distillers, their confederates and friends, last spring, obviously for the purpose of breaking the force of the proceedings against them. So long as the matter rested in mere street rumor, or in the columns of tbe newspapers friendly with the ring, I could not properly take notice of it, but now that it has been dragged into court as appears at the instance of tho indicted officials. I deem it proper to request that every person whose name has bgen, or can be given you as having knowledge of such alleged facts shall be brought before the Gra»d Jury, and subjected to the most rigid examination. The statement is absolutely and unqualifiedly false, so far as it affects me, but I do not desire to allow the matter to rest upon my denial. I beg the above request be complied with, that the subject may be probed to the bottom, that every move of the ring may be followed jfrom beginning to end, and that no one
baviDg
connection with, or a guilty knowledge of its operation, shall be allowed to escape. So far as this department is concerned, I ask that every allegation against any officer of it, from its head to the humblest employe, be thoroughly, and vigorously prosecuted, ii any ground exists therefor. I have read this to the President, who repeats this injunction. *'Let no guilty man escape." (Signed) B. H. BRISTOW,
Secretary of the Treasury.
Louisville, Nov. 27.—Bristow's friends in Louisville do not consider the statement of Alfred Bevis, at St. Louis, Friday, worthy of notice. In an interview to-day, George C. Buchanan, President of the NewcombBuchanan Company, stated that he had been very active in assisting Bristow to discover frauds that his knowledge of the whisky business had been' of some service to Bristow, and from this union, and their efforts to ferret out the guilty dealers, was started the false report from which Bevis probably got his information. Mr. Buchanan says that Secretary Bristaw is not now, nor ever has been interested in the company of which he is President.
AVERY.
The trial of W. C. Avery progressed to-day in the presence of the usual large crowd of spectators. The interest in the revelations of the whisky ring continues unabated. Fitzroy, Engleke and Fuescher testiged at considerable length, but very little new information was elicited. There was really no direct evidence against Avery to-day. All the witnesses stated in a general way, however, that they understood Ayery received part of the money raised here for the ring, a package being set aside lor him and given to Joyco, but whether Joyce ever sent It to Avery, or whether that gentleman ever received it from any person they could not say. Tbey dia know of their own knowledge that
Avery ever got a dollar. James S. Brooms, for seven years in the revenue service, and since October, 1874, connected with the secret service, gave along account of his raid on the distilleries in New Orleans and Algiers, in the spring of 1874, and of his investigations subsequently at Bevia & Frazler's offices here. He said little or nothing about Avery.

Brigadier-General Terry, commanding tbe department of Dakota, in bis annual report reviews at length the operations in his department during tbe fiscal year, and concurs in the recommendation of Major Dubarry, Chief Commissary of that department, which relates to fraudulent bids for Government contracts. He says: "I believe this stylo of bidding may be, to a very great extent, stopped by requiring bids to be accompanied by a certified check for a reasonable proportionate amount of the contract, such check to be made p«yabie to the order of the Treasurer of tbe United States, each bid to embody an express provision for the forfeiture of the check accompanying it, in case the bid is accepted and the bidder falls to execute and deliver to the proper office a contract in due form, with a satisfactory band for its faithful performance."

New York Nov. 29.—A letter from Wilkesbarre, Pa., states that the most extensive and serious mining casualty ever known in Wyoming Valley occured at the Chauncey and Grand Tunnel mines, between Plymouth aud Nautocoke, about two and a half miles south of the former jplace. About two weeks ago, Mr. iloberts, one of the proprietors of the Chauncey mine, noticed that the roof of the opening was working in a most extraordinary manner, and was convinced that the mine was doomed to a certain calamity. About 11 o'clock in the morning of the tenth inst., be gave orders for the men to leave the mine as soon as possible, and removed as much of the company's property as could be taken out on the spur of the moment. The miners, to the number of one hundred and twenty-flve, left at 12 o'clock, taking with them the imple ments of their calling, and two hours later the mine caved in. The effects of the cave were truly terrific. Huge boulders were thrown out of the mouth of the tunnel, by the com pressed air, as if they had been pebbles, and the shock of the crash was like an earthquake.

A BONE OE CONTENTION.
John Bull After tbe Sac* Canal. Brussels, Nov. 23.—Tae L9 Nord, Russian organ, believes however great the'consequences of England's purchase of canal shares may be, the transaction cannot endanger tbe peace of Europe. Tbe purchase affects countries bordering on the Mediteranian sea especially France, and it seems impossible lor the affair to be completed without an international arrangement.
It wonld amount to Bheer confiscation for Fngland to undertake-the management of tbe canal. If it be not de sired that tbe civilizing work of the. canal sball become a mere instrument of trade, arrangements must be made to render the change compatible with the interests of the world, and by means of solid guarantee.
Paris. Nov. 27.—The Khedive of Egypt offered the shares of the Suez, caual stock tor sale to France previous to their purchase by England. Minister Da Cazes wanted to accept tbe offer of his Hixbness, but the Bank of France made some difficulties, and the opportunity for the acquisition of the property is lost.

Boston, No A'. 29.—Soon after 11 Doric Hall was closed, and about half past 11 the coffin was carried to the Hall of Representatives and placed ou tbe catafalque. The Hall was richly draped, and numerous fragrant floral tributes were conspicuous. Senator Boutwell, Frederick Douglass, Carl Schurtz, Gen. Banks, Governor-elect Rice and others were seated at the right of the catafalque. Gov. Gaston, the Governor's council and staff, and Board of Aldermen and Common Council were in front of the coffin. Governors of other States, members and ex-members of Congress, Judges of the Federal and and State Courts, Mayor of Boston, Officers of Army and Navy, Civil Officers of the Government, members of the State Legislature, and others were in the main body of the hall. The remaining seats quickly filled from thousands eagerly seeking admittance. At 12:30 every seat was taken and every inch of standing space occupied.

Tlia Proposed Ship Canal, Washington, Nov. 29.—The commissioner appointed to inquire into the route for the proposed ship canal to connect the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, reports that they are of the opinion, after a full investigation, that the Nicaraugua is best, and estimates that tbe work from the harbor of Breto, on the Pacific, to Greytown, on the Atlantic, can be constructed at a total cost not exceeding $66,000,000. From this investment the commissioner claims an enormous return would be made, especially in shipment to Europe and American ports on the Atlantic of California products. It is regarded of the highest importance that the U.

Bill Alien an a aoh's
Fiitnclcr in l*haReign.
And it came to pass in those days that Pharaoh dreamed a dream, and behold a famine was in the land of Egypt and through all its borders.
Now the time of plenty was at hand, and Joseph, a young man of the Hebrews, and skilled in dreams and the interpretation thereof, said unto Pharaoh:
Go to,now let Pharaoh appoint officers over the land, and gather all the food of those good years, and bid the people lay up corn that shall be for store to the land against the seven years of famiue that sball surely come upon the land of Egypt that the land perish not through famine, lo! it shall be returned unto them.
And the thing seemed good in the sight of Pharaoh,and he made Joseph a ruler of Egypt.
And in the seven plenteous years the earth brought fourth by handfulls, and he gathered all the food of the seven years which was in the land of Egypt,and laid up tbe food in the cities.
And Josebh gathered corn as the sands of the sea, very much, until he left numbering for it was without number.
And the seven years of plenteousness, that was in the land of Egypt, were ended, and the seven years of dearth was in all lands but in the land of Egypt there was bread in Pharaoh's granaries.
And Joseph thought to open the granaries for the people. Then there arose a man of the SapHeds, whose name was Bill-Allen, who said unto Pharaoh: "Go to, now. Shall Pharoh's granaries be opened to the people and the wealth of Pharaoh be made a common thing? And who knoweth this Hebrew Joseph, and how long the years of death shall rage in Egypt until Pharaoh starve
And Pharoh's heart was hardened, and he cast Joseph into prison. Ana made Bill-Allen a ruler in his stead. And the people murmured.
But Bill-Allen was a dem-Magog, and hesaid unto the people, "Buy buy ye corn of each other."
But.the people said: "Wherewith shall we buy corn?—for men buy corn with cattle and sheep oxen-asses, but we have none of these, and lo! thou hast all the corn. Give us a sign."
And Bill-Allen gave them a sign, whereon was writ: "The goverment of Egypt will pay tbe bearer five or ten or fifty ephods of corn, according to the denomination thereof."
And some of the great men of Egypt, who in the years of dearth -had garnered corn of their own, said: "Lo! the people starve let us sell them of our corn for money, which is Pharaoh's promise to pay corn even unto the holder thereof, and hath a corn basis. This shall be our money also, wherewith \ve shall buy horses and raiment, purple and fiue linen."
So the great men of Egypt, sold their corn.
011
^"-C?
Aud Bill-Allen said: "Have ye not a little com? Goto, now take ye Pharoah's promise for naught?" Aud he gave them more promises to pay, ten for one.
But corn was scarce, and that which had brought ten ephods would now buy but a huncredth part of an ephod. And the people murmured for money wherewith to buy it.
So Bill-Allen issued moae promises to pay, a thousand for one. And even the granaries of the great men were empty, and the people murmured.
And the great men filled their barns with promises to buy corn, even the promises that Pharaoh had made unto them.
And a scandal cost a million aud a grain of corn ten million, until the people did burn the promises to for fuel.
Then the people of the North and of the South and of the West humped themselves, and they broke open the granaries of Pharoh and slew him and his household, his man servant aud maid servants.
And they prepared a gallows ninety cubits high whereon to hang Bill-Al-len, but the noise of his roaring so terrified the people HO that they fell on their faces, and Bill-Allen sloped away in the land of the Sap Heads and Dem Magogs, where he liveth even unto this dav.
Bagg's Botrinsrang. Cincinnati Saturday Nigqt, Boggs has a friend in Australia, who sent him, a spell ago, a boomerang, the singular weapon used by the natives of that distant country. Boggs had read a good neal abont the boomerang, and had long desired to possess one, therefore his delight was very great when this gift arrived. It was of dark, heavy wood, looking something like a wooden rjew moon. He didn't know what it was at first, but a note accompanying tne gift explained it all. "But you don't know how to throw it," said Mrs. Boggs, as he went waltzing around the room, swinging it above bis head in a transport of delight. "Don't I, though? Haven't I read all about ii? Easiest thing in the world to manago when you know how.
You seeThe weapon accidentally sliped out of his hand as he was speaking, few up to tho coiling, chipped out a broad piece of plastering, then in darted toward tbe bookcase, knocking a plaster cast of Daniel Wedster off tho top, which was broken in the fall (having previously been damaged considerably in the spring) then it threw a somersault in tho air and made a vicious dash at the mirror, but changed its mind apparently, within a few inches of its surface, and kicked a hole through an old poatrait of Mr. Boggs hanging by the side of it then it described a curve, rendering it unnecessary for us to describe it further—and rapped Mrs. Boggs on the side of the head, making her false teeth rattlo like a bogus nickle in a contribution box then it flew
the wings of tho morning
at a picture ol' ••Evening," which it knocked into the middle of next week then it tacked to the lelt and swooped down upon the piano keys, and playing "stop dat knocking" in a highly artistic manner then it rotated once around the room, and knocked a neighbor down, who had opened tbe door to see what was the matter then it thumped Boggs on the top of his bald head until he saw more stars than will be visible at all of our theatres this season then giving Mrs. Boggs who was stretched out on the floor in a fainting fit, a farewell dig in the ribs, it darted through "Heaven Bless Our Home," hung up onthe window, and disappeared.
Boggs afterwards heard of it pulling doorbells all along the street, dropping through skylights, frightening people almost out of their wits by racing around empty garetrs, and playing the duce generally. He gives notice that if any one finds that boomerang he may keep it if he can—he don't want to see it again. Mrs. Boggs is in a very nervous condition about it, and every time she hears a rap at a door she shrieks. "There it comes again!" and faints dead away.
A Fine Pacer.
From the Vicksburg Herald. It was an iron gray mare that old man Sadler wanted to show off yesterday, and as he valued the animal at $70 ha considered her some pumpkins. The old gentleman had, as usual, been taking some drinks, and therefore felt good, and just in trim for a trade. Said he to a party standing near: "She's briski want she'er trot?" "Can she pace?" inquired the gentleman. "Pasche well I should shay so, (hie.) She's live-(hick)-ly on pasche. Wait, I'll show yer."
He walked all around three posts in getting to where the demure looking
nag stood,
and catching the reius and
mane, made a movement which indicated that be would soon mount. With his left foot in the stirrup, he paused for an instant, and said: "Wan'sheer pascbe hay, well, I'll show you some tallest paschen yever saw. Op?, ope." Saying which he got up, and then got down again on the other side, so quickly that the ground shook. "See how that was done," he remarked, rising very hurriedly after the manner of an acrobat who had just flung a "flip-flap." "I )ast wan' she if you fellers know how dodge bullet.

And he lifted up his voice until it filled all the,land of Egypt, and the land of Gath and Peleg-Ether, and said: "You will not take the promises of Pharaoh among yourself nor sell. Therefore do ye bring worthless money unto Pharaoh the King of Assyria and of Moab, will they give corn for what ye offer unto Pharaoh? Lo! bliud are ye and fools."
DRY GOODS.
And it came to pass that when their corn was well-nigh gone they came unto Bill-Allen, the Chief a hTYB T?C! n/V Treaurer, and said unto him: "Lo!' li* -c\. !. 4V here now is Pharaoh's promise to pay us corn give, therefore, uuto thy servents food in five or ten or twenty ephods, according to the denomination which is hereon writ."
