By-Gone Bays Brought Vividly
up by a Simple Little Egg.
The thin, pale man looked up
from his pinto nppealingly at the
landlady, and then down at the egg
before him.
"What is it?" she inquired in n
kindly tone.
"Nothing much, ma'am ; I was
merely indulging in a summer fan-
cy."
"Ah, some fair-haired girl with
sweet blue eyes and peach-blow
cheeks, swinging in a hammock?
Fie, fie, Mr. Tenderheart," and the
lady tossed him an airy nothing
from the tips of her fingers.
"It was not that, ma'am," he res-
ponded, with the deep pleading
still in his eyes.
"No?"
"No. 1 was thinking that if the
hen that laid this egg were still
living, would she, or would she not,
claim to have been one of George
Washington's body servants"—Cin-
cinnati Merchant Traveler.
Investigation.
New York, August 5.—The case
of a sudden death, from a disease
resembling yellow fever,was investi-
gated by the health officials Satur-
day. The victim was a sailor on
the steamer "Accupuleo," which
had come direct from Panama.
After a thorough investigation, the
health authorities said the case was
one of fever. Orders were then is-
sued to bury the body at once.
The commissioners of immigra-
tion to-day inspected the steerage
passengers of the "City of Rome,"
and found 12 in a destitute condi-
tion. These were not permitted to
leave the steamer and can only be
released by order of the collector or
surveyor of the port.
Two Killings at an Election.
Lexington, Ky., August 5.—The
election to-day was orderly, and re-
sulted in a Democratic minority of
221 in the race for sheriff. At the
court house a dispute arose between
George Stewart, democrat, and J C
Geers, a republican, which resulted
in Geers shooting Stewart through
the head, killing him instantly.
Another row occurred between Jack
Cleary and Dick Murphy, in which
Cleary was disembowelled and has
since died. This resulted from an
old difficulty, and was in no way
the result of the election. It was
caused by bad whiskey.
An Interesting Session Closed.
Ocean Grove, N, J., August 4.—
The final services of the reunion of
the chaplains, union and confeder-
ate, and chriitian and sanitary un-
ions, were attended by a large num-
ber of persons. Geo H Stewart and
General Clinton B Fiske delivered
eulogies of Bishop Simpson; remi-
niscenses were heard from the chap-
lains and others, after which all
joined hands and sang "Blest be
the Tie that Binds Our Hearts in
Christian Love." This closed a
most interesting session.
Washington Gossip.
The cholera conference which was
fixed for Thursday next has been
postponed, in consequence of the
favorable reports from the infected
districts of Europe.
The estimated expenditures of
the post office department for the
last fiscal year will exceed the re-
ceipts by three million dollars.
Postmaster-General Gresham re-
turned from Indiana to-day.
Privately Joined.
San Francisco, August 5.—Fred
Sharon, son of the ex-Senator, and
Mrs . Louise Breckinridge,daughter

Fargo & Co, and divorced wife of
the Hon. 0. C. Breckinridge, son of
the late vice-president,were private-
ly married last night at the resi-
dence of Lloyd Tevis, in this city.
Improbable and Unconfirmed.
New York, August 5.—A special
dispatch reports the lynching of
ten negroes in Northampton coun-
ty, Virginia, by a gang of Italians.
The story is improbable, and un-
confirmed. The place is remote
from a telegraph office.
Baltimore, August 5.—The story
of the lynching in Northampton
county is absolutely false.
The Result of an old Qnarrel.
Somerset, Ky., August 5.—James
Lay, 60 years old, and Bant Dalton.
aged 50, met at the election to-day
and renewed an old quarrel, in the
course of which Dalton was shot
and killed.
The more wo see of European in-
fluences on the press of Mexico and
other Spanish American countries—
influences that are bitterly hostile
to the interests of the Unitec States
and mendaciously antagonistic to
every movement that tends to create
good will and f iendly relations
with those American countries the
more favorably are we impressed
with the propriety of stimulating
the popular sentiment; that no por-
tion of this continent should be
held in subjection to any foreign
power, contrary to the will of the
people who inhabit it.—El Comercio
del Valle,
FOREIGN NEWS.

ver.

the congress composed of the two
houses of parliament, which assem-

dered all wellq between Korosko
and Berber to be filled up. The

Gordon inviting him to Zanzibar.
London, AugustS—A vast, reform
demonstration occurred at Birm ing
ham to-day. John Bright and
Joseph Chamberlain, the president
of the board of trade, were in the
procession, which was enormous in
length. Thousands crowded the
streets along the route.
Later—Two hundred thousand
people assembled upon the grounds
where the reform demonstration
took place. The meeting com-
prised nine divisions, and there was
excellent order. The weather was
fine.
London, August 5—The steamer
Diones from London for Middle-
borough, was sunk by a collision in
the Thames and seventeen passen-
gers were drowned.
Those saved rushed, on deck and
jumped overboard half dressed.
They were rescued by tugs. The
soene was heart rending. Ladies
implored the men to save their
children and many women were car-
rying infants. One mother placed
her infant in a floating crate which
drifted away but was found later off
the Thames at Haven. The infant
was alive. The captain of the Di-
ones was saved, but is badly hurt.
A Far-West Postoffice.
The postoffice at Iron Rod, Mon-
tana has been discontinued, and
ths explanation is thus given by an
officer of the department: "A post-
office, agent, while officially visiting
various offices in Montana Territory
for the purpose of correcting any
irregularities of postmasters, stop-
ped at Iron Rod. Going into the
postoffice he found the room divid-
ed into three sections—first a sa-
loon, next the postoffice, and last a
faro bank. The mail bag was
brought in. a rough looking custom-
er opened it and emptied the con-
tents on the floor. The entire
crowd got down on ther hands and
commenced overhauling the letters,
among which several were register-
ed, and selected such as they want-
ed. After they were through, the
remaining letters were shoveled in-
to a candle box and placed on the
bar. The special agent thinking
the office needed a little regulating,
asked the barkeeper who received
and distributed the mail, if he was
the postmaster. He answered 'Ne.'
'Ara you the assistant postmaster?'
'No.' Where is the postmaster?'
Out mining.' 'Where is the assis-
tant postmaster?' 'Gone to Hell's
canon; and by thunder Bill Jones
has got to run for office next week;
it's his turn.' The government
official then stated who he was, and
demanded the keys of the office. The
bar tender coolly took the candle
box from the bar, placed it on the
floor, and gave it a kick, sending it
out of the door, saying: 'There's
your postoffice, and now git.' The
agent says: 'Knowing the custom
of the country. I lost no time in fol-
lowing this advice, and got.' This
is why the postoffice a Iron Rod was
discontinued.
All Democrats Elected.
Montgomery,Ala., Aug. 5.—There
was no opposition whatever to the
democrats on the state ticket, and
very little of party character in any
county contests. In consequence,
no excitement, except where the
candidates were running in the
counties that mnde no nominations
«nd these were many. Thus the
local issues of the democrats brought
•ut a fair vote. The hottest fight
was in the Mobile district, between
the democrats and a combination
of Republicans and Greenbackers.
These two points were the battle
grounds of the state., Not half a
dozen republican legislative candi-
dates were running in the state. The
vote of this city was about 1800. All
the democrats were elected, as there
was no opposition.
