A New Field FOR Speculation.

A Salt Lake dispatch reports that the
transactions in mining property in Utah
last week amounted to 81 SOC, ,000 and that
arrangements were making to organize a
Stock Board and Exchange. We also
learn that several large sales of Utah min
ing stocks have lately been made by cable
in London. Money is SO plenty on both
sides of the water that this new field for
speculation seems likely to be eagerly
bought, and we may have revival of the
old mining stock excitements of years
gone by. Is it worth while to warn against
such danger?
Byron says that the pleasure of being
cheated is almost as great as that of cheat
ing, but not many Wall street operators
would take so philosophical view of the
two ends of swindle. Many of the Utah
mines are undoubtedly very rich and valu-
able, but they have not yet been opened
long enough to warrant speculation in
them by operators at distance. The talk
about organizing Mining Stock Board in
Salt Lake City looks as though a new min
ing stock fever was to be manufactured,
whose principal victims will be the Eastern
capitalists. 1t will be safe to look carefully
into the Utah mining stocks before pur-
chasing. .. .-.

AN IMPORTANT SUIT.
The A. & c. Railroad.


AS stated some days ago in the local
colnm Of the CHRONICLE, Gov. Lindsay, OF
Alabama, was in this city consulting
counsel as to the best means by which to
secure possession ofthat part of the A. &
c. Road lying in Tennessee, and, also, to
foreclose Alabama's mortgage on said
Road. We had information then concern
ing the steps to be taken, but deemed tke1r
publication premature. rBe eer.a.l.aH ,
We find, however, in the memphis Ap-
peal letter on the subject, which gives
some facts of interest: f'
Colonel DuPre, of the appeal, writes
from East Tennessee that Governor Lind
say has employed Judges Clopton, of Ala
bama, Nesbit of Georgia, and Baxter, of
Knoxville, to file bills in the three States,
Alabama, Georgia and Tennessee, against
Stanton to enforce the liens of the State of
Alabama against J. G.. Stanton's Alabama
and Chattanooga Railroad Company.
Baxter's billwill be filled at Chattanooga
next Friday. He proposes not only to
compel sale of the road under the statu-
tory mortgates of Alabama, but to compel
Eastern shareholders to pay half a million
ormore of subscriptions to the capital stock
of the Company. They have paid nothing
The bonds received from Alabama, the
two millions raised by Stanton on mort
gage of bis own, and the bonds issued by
Gov, Smith. in excess of limitations pre-
scribed by the statues of Alabama, and the
floating Indebtedness of the Company
make the cost of the road about twenty
one millions. 1t should have cost about
nine millions. This excess of cost over
real value is alleged to have been appro-
priated by the ring of which Stanton was
the agent. It seems to have been a very
good job, and the road builders will hardly
make any vigorous efforts to secure pos
session of the property. They will be con-
tent if suffered to hold the sums due la
borers and locomotive and car builders,
and the excess of bonds issued. Governor
Lindsay's attorneys do not believe that
Stanton's ring will file answers, but will
suffer pro eonfeSso to be entered. General
James Clanton is appointed by Governor
Lindsay, under the laws of Alabama, Re-
ceiver for that State. These are the gen.
eral facts affecting this magnificent high
way, as represented by those cognizant of
all the facts. .....

The Venus of Milo,

The Venus of Milo, extricated from the
hiding place it occupied during the siege
of Paris, received its friends, the members
of the Paris Institute, on the 29th of July.
The hiding place was stupidity chosen, both
in regard to safety and to preservation, al
though the loyal impulse to protect it
from the dangers of the time deserves all
praise. It was concealed, as is we'll known,
in the cellars of the Prefecture of Police,
where, of course, it was safe enough du-
ring the siege: but in the subsequent in
surrection that spot was the centre of vio-
lence and destruction. Indeed, the pres
ervation of the statue, thanks to masses of
pabers lying above it, which protected it
from burning by petroleum, may be con-
sidered as almost miraculous, or by deyout
pagans--if there are any such remaining
due to direct interposition ofthe goddess
herself. 1t comes back to the light quite
uninjured, but the dampness of the cellar
has 1oosened the plaster which held to-
gether the separate pieces of marble OF
which it is composed.

Senator sherman ON the national FL.
nRneoR.

Senator Sherman made speech at Tole-
do last evening, in which he reviewed the
financial errors of the Ohio democrats.
The proposition of General Ewing, that
the government "make money easy and
interest light" by issuing one billion dol
lars in paper money, which shall be legal
tender for all purposes, and especially to
pay off the five-twenty bonds, was shown
to be simply the impracticable scheme of a
demagogue. Senator Sherman, in reply,
took strong ground in opposition to all
plans for initiation and in favor of the ear
liest possible return to specie payments.
Many of the leading western Republicans
have been doubtful upon these questions !;
they have in fact been considered friendly
to an unsound financial policy, and this
plain statement by Senator Sherman will
have much influence. 1t shows that the
public opinion of the Western States has
been .misrepresented. Senator Sheaman
now expresses the sentiment of the whole
country upon the true financial policy for
the government.-NetU York Post.

LOngfelIOW'S DefeAt.

A correspondent who sat by old John
Harper during TIM great race gives his &C
tions during the race. He says:
The horses now pass the stand third
time, almost neck and neck.
John Harper looked happy and secure.
''You are very quiet for one who has $40,
600 depending on the race,p I remarked.
HE NEVER SPOKE A WORD.
Longfellow seemed to let down his head
as IL exhausted, caught the bit, and it was
all up in amoment.
What is the matter, Uncle John ?p
Not word in reply but the old mans
mind seemed to be wandering, and his
mind was gone away from the grand stand
to his horse. I "a
HelmboldnoW made a sudden squirt, took
the lead and held it like grim death. John
Harper looked like one at the deathbed of
a friend-hope, sickly hope, beamed in
his countenance, and that was all. Not q
word escaped his lips. He saw his love,
his pride, his idol, break down before his
eyes, while ten thousand demoniac voices
shouted and made bedlam of the grand
stand.
"Longfellowhas been drugged," growled
Colonel Bridgerland to old John. John
Harper made no reply. His heart seemed
broken, and "He's gone' was the only
words he uttered. .HF rl :

LAWN GRAss.-I would like you to tell
me the name of the grass seed used for
lawns. | suppose it is obtainable at all
seed stores, but at what price and how
much is needed per acre. Is it anything
like Timothy or 'Red Top" or is it en-
tirely distinct from either HI. E. L.,
Branchport, ". Y. 1.......r.
Seedsmen sell mixture of various spe-
cies. of grasses under the name of lawn
grass. Timothy is too coarse, for laws, but
red top and Kentucky blue grass mixed
will make an excellent sward. !. The guam
tity required per acre depends somewhat
upon the quality of seed. If the blue grass
is cleaned from the ,chaf four quarts is suf-
ficient; if not clean apply larger quanti-
ty. Sow a bushel Of red top in addition,
as this seed is always sold in the chaff, and
is both light and cheap. We usually add
a little white clover, say two pounds per
acre; this is not necessary or advisable,
however, if the soil is rich

They have down in Maryland q man
whom they style the African Fire King.
He gave an exhibition of his powers -
recently in a physieian's office, in the
presence of about twenty persons, and one
of them describes the results thus: He first
heated shovel red hot and applied it to
the bottom of one of his feet. It made no
impression on him, whatever He next
heated shovel red hot and licked it re-
peatedly with his tongue. It did not even
dry the saliva in his mouth. He then put
his hand into hot stove and took there
from red hot anthracite coal and offered
1t TO the spectators, who declined to accept
the present. His hand was not even
scorched. He then called out to know II
there We're any unbelieversn present.
To his astOnishmant. we announced our
selves still an unbelieyer.u He then
put shovel in the stove and partially
filled it with shot, and when the shot had
got pretty hot, he stirred them with his
naked fingers till the lead had melted. He
then took the shovel in his right hand and
poured the hot melted lead into his left
hand, and then poured the burning solu-
ton into his mouth, kept it there till it
cooled, and spit it out in a lump. We then
expressed ourselves entirely satisfied, He
said "that was only $20 performance; il
they would make him up $50 he would
show something worth seeing."
