A POSTMASTER SUED BY SwINDLERs. -
Before Judge Benedict, in the United
States Eastern District Court, Ferdinand
Kohl and Charles H. Gardner, brought
suit against James Semler, Postmaster
at Brooklyn, n. Y, to recover $1,000
damages for letters retained addressed to
them. The testimony showed that the
plaintiffs were in the habit of flooding
the country with circulars, setting forth
that they could supply dry goods at much
less than the regular market prices The
firm went under the name of Kohl & Co.,
Chapn an & Co., and Hamilton & Co.,
aud it was shown that, after receiving
remittances, they neglected in many
cases to forward the goods. The Post
master received letters from persons in
different parts of the country inquiring
whether there was such firm as Kohl &
Co., in Williamsburg, and at last becom-
ing convinced that they were swindlers,
he laid the matter before the Department
at Washington, and was instructed to
retain all letters for the firm, which he
did. Plaintiffs then commenced this suit
for damages, which resulted in decision
in favor of the Postmaster.-N Y Pa

A MEETING OF THE Fish Commissioners
of the New England States was held at
Boston few days ago. All the States
were represented except Rhode Island.
The special object of this meeting was
to discuss a plan proposed by Charles
g. Atkins, of Maine, to procure salmon
ova for the coming season by operations
upon the Penobscot river. The plan
contemplates the buying of a number
of salmon-two or three hundred-alive,
as taken from the ponds or weirs, and
keeping them in a suitable spawning
place until the season, when the eggs
will be taken in race prepared fof this
purpose. 1t is supposed that the ova
will be obtained at much less price than
the Canadian government now demands

MICROSCOPIC CHARACTER OF IRON AND
STEEL. According to Mr.. Schott, the
different qualities of iron and steel can
readily be distinguished by means of the
microscope. Thus the crystals of iron
are double pyramids, in which the pro-
portion of axes to the bases varies with
the quality of the iron. The smallness
of the crystals and the height OF the pyr-
amids composing each element, are in
proportion to the quality and density of
the metal, which are seen also IN the fine
ness of the surface. As the proportion
of carbon diminishes in the steel, the
pyramids have so much the less height
In pig-iron, and the lower qualities of
hard steel, the crystals approach more
closely the cubic form. Forged iron has
its pyramids fa.tened and reduced to
superposed parallel leaves, whose struc-
ture constitutes what is called the nerve
of the steel. The best quality of steel
has all its crystals disposed to parallel
lines, each crystal filling the interstices
between the angles of those adjoining.
These crystals have their axes in the di-
rection of the percussion they undergo
in the working. Practically, good steel
examined under the microscope, has the
appearance of large groups of beautiful
crystals, similar TO points OF needles, all
parallel and disposed In the same dlrec-
ton.

The Dead Communists.

The interment of those killed in The
combats of the I'd, Sd, and 4th of Apri
took place at Paris. The cortege left
the hospital Beaujon at a quarter tc
three. The procession was headed by
1000 Chasseurs a Pied, followed imme
diately by 1000 National Guards. Then
came three bands, and after them ap.
peared three gigantic hearses, with black
velvet pals, each being decorated with
twelve red flags. The procession was
followed by about 5000 National Guards
in uniform, and double that number OF
persons in plain clothes, the crowd in
cluding great many women, the Boule-
wards Maleshe4bes, dies Italiens, Mont
martre, and the Place Chateau d Eau
were crowded with spectators The
cortege passed the Chateau Eau at s. 80.
AT this point it was met by battalion
on its way to the ramparts. Many wo-
men marched in the ranks of those
warriors proceeding to battle. The great
est excitement prevailed. Amouroux,
of the Commune followed the hearses.
The procession reached the Pere-la-
Chaise at g. Is. The three hearses con-
tained thirty-three collins Upwards of
twenty other hearses of a similar kind
had arrived previously from various hos
pitfalls. The bodies were buried in rota-
ton, and in the speeches made over their
graves invectives were uttered calling for
vengeance on the brigands and assas-
sins of Versailles. Each coffin was low
cred amid long-continued cries of Vive
la Republique y "Vive la Commune |"
Vengeance !" All the bodies were buried
in one large grave, amidst shrieks of
women and shouts of vengeance. Every
National Guard wore orange immortelles
on his breast. The Cemetery of Pere-la-
Chaise was covered with mass of people
in a state of the widest excitement.
Villette, Belleville, Menilmontant are in
CONSERVATION women crowd the streets
bewailing the loss of their husband,
brothers, or sons. Some idea of the ter
rible losses which the National Guards
have sustained may be formed from the
fact that of one company of 200men only
II have down to the present time re-
turned.

The LAST LITTLE GAME. Among the
implements used by confidence operators
to trap the unwary on railroad cars and
steamboats,, is a patent paddock, which
opens on the side with n small fiat key.
The confidence man exhibits the paddock,
and dilates upon its merits, claiming that
no one except himself (the inventor)
could open it, even with the key, with
out understanding peculiar twist
OPP ming it several times, he induces a
greenhorn to say that he can do it, and
in the heat of the argument which the
assertion usually brings forth bet is
made. The confidence man then hands
the unsuspecting victim the paddock and
d ferent key from the one which opens
the lock but the eye cannot readily
detect the difference, the change being
made with the adroitness which charac-
terizes the operations of the three card
monte swindlers. OF course the victim
cannot open the lock and loses his
money. This is the latest swindle, and
it is to be hoped the press will ventilate
it. Beware of genteel-looking men with
patent padlocks.

The ShOe.Black'S Dog.

The following is from Chambers
Anecdotes of Dogs - "An English
officer, who was in Paris in 1875. men
tons the case of dog belonging to a
shoe-black, which brought customers to
its master. This it did in very in
genious and scarcely honest manner.
The officer, having occasion to cross one
of the bridges over the Seine, had his
boots, which had been previously polish
ed, dirted by a poodle-dog rubbing
against them. He, In consequence, went
to a man who was stationed on the
bridge and had them cleaned. The
same circumstances having occurred
more than once, his curiosity was excit-
ed. and he watched the dog. He saw
him roll himself into the mud of the
river, and then watch for person with
well-polished boots, against which he
contrived t, rub himself. Finding that
the shoe black was the owner of the dog,
he taxad him with the artifice and af
ter d &1Se hesitation, he confessed that
he had taught the dog the trick in
order to procure customers for himself.
The officer, being much struck with the
dogs sagacity, purchased him at high
price, and brought him to England.
He kept him tied up in London some
time, and then released him. The dog
remained with him day or two, and
then made his escape. A fortnight af-
terward he was found with his former
master, pursuing his old trade of dirty
ing gentlemen's boots on the bridge"

to hear it charged, onrsuch good authority,
that the reason of the removal OF faithful
officer was that he failed to approve of land.
grabbing scheme Of the Presidents father
General Grant Will have little imeto enjoy. the
triumph over Mr.. Sumner amid his gathering
perple1lties, for he Is rapidly becoming an oo-
ject of pity rather than indignation. -
The true cause OF the deposition OF suR-
ner ls given by the Washington Patriot and
the correspondent of the New York Evening
Post, as follows: 1t is known that hr. sum-
ner took the most advanced position in regard
| to the Alabama claims and our differences
with England. The administration adopted
this policy, and Motley was sent to carry II
out. Then came a change of purpose, motley's
recall, the secret negotiations with Greal
Britain, and the appointment OF the Joint High
Commission on a very different basis from
that supported by Mr.. Sumner, and to which
be did not conceal his opposition. His pres
encs at the head of the committee on foreign
relations was not only standing rebuke
| to- this new scheme. but it was posi-
tive obstacle to It's success before the
Sd6ates and nearly two months ago Sir Edward
Thornton expressed to Secretary Fish doubts
as to the administration being able to get SUCH
treaty as the. High Commissioners might
agree upon ratified by the United STATES
Senate so long as Senator Sumner remained at
the head of the foreign relations committee,
and entertained such views as expressed IN
his speech against the Reverdy johnson
treaty. The matter being discussed, aad the
President consulted, the British officers were
informed that their powerful and obnoxious
opponen Mt, Mr.. Sumner, would be removed
from the position of honor he had held
so long, and that by this act they would
see that the administration abandoned-he
ground taken by him when he influenced
the rejection of the Reverdy Johnson treaty.
A foreign minister and friend of Summers,
hearing of this, warned him of 1t, but he paid
little need, and was soon after taken ill. While
confined to his bed, the previously arranged
stories were started that he had prepared a
bitter speech against the President, which was
wholly untrue, the design being to prepare the
country for his removal on the ground of ne
cesslty TO the success OF our foreign policy.
| His hostility to the San Domingo job, doubt
less. was another cause for his removal, as
well as The jealousy Of Morton, Conkllng and
others, who could not brook his lead.
