tbs New York Commercial Advertiser
gives the following account of the rumOred
Polish conspiracy against Duke Alexis in
New York:
LAS. night, Just before the time for the
Grand Duke to make his exit from his
hotel for the Academy opera, the presence
Of many Poles in proximity TO the Grand
Dukes intended route was especially
noticed. They we're seen standing m lines
down Fourteenth street and up Fourth
avenue o. convenient distances. Messages
we're known to pass from one Pole &c
another, but everything was cloAked in a
dreadful mystery. The subject was men
toned 20 Mr.. Macy, one OF the oustodisns
Of the Grand Duke. Further inquiries
we're made, and closer watch was kept.
Mr.. BierstAdt, Mr.. Doge, Maj. Montgomery,
aud Gen AspinwAll nov secretly left the
Clarendon with special detectives to invessi-
gate the reports. They we're shown the
Poles standing at intervals in the vicinity
Of the hotel. They we're satisfied that
secret messages we're passing between
them, and that something mysterious was
trAnspiring. They glided back to the hots!
Admiral Goden aud Gen. Mcdowell were
telegrAphed to, and messages were ssnt
after Mr.. Blodgstt and Mr.. Clsws. The
last one of DslmonicO's boys was Assembl
and while the subject wAA being excited j
discussed, Horace Greeley aud Gen. Dix
members Of the one hundred dollar police
arrived
"Wha, do you think about III" they
asked, eEo,tedly, Of Mr.. Greeley.
"Why, d-n it, boys, said Horace "you
young fellows don't understand this thinl
as well as we old policemen do. It's a.
right. These Poles are telegraph poles
and you will 6ud the secret messages al
printed IN the Tribune IN the morningY"
cough !" and Del.nonico's boys swoon
ed away with Joy at the perfect safety o
their Duke.

sPRSoFIELD has just had = sensation. A
former State official, and man who has
occupied high positions, not only in the
commonwealth, but in the nation, has been
on prolonged spree for some days in her
classic precincts. On Friday he visited
Bunn's banking house aud demanded $50.
II was refused him, whereupon he
abused the teller like Apiokpocket,
and had TO be elected. He next
visited . saloon and asked for a drink OF
whisky. The bSr-keeper told him that he
had none, vhereupOn be grew so violen,
that he was put out By force. Drunken,
friendlsss and an outoAst-such is the fate
Of one Who ASPired 20 be President of the
United States. He is now q perfec. wreck
and even his frisads have come to the con.
OluSion tina, the only service he can render
is 10 die. Whisky has swamped him, as il
has many another.

THERE is no good reason why the army,
