A Cool RObber.

Policeman Badger, of the Tenth sta- tion, had 8 bit of experience last win ter which he is not fond of talking about. It was past midnight as he was leisurly pushing his beat through Jss- sup street, and as he came opposite to Drayton & Fogg's jewelry store he ob- served gleams of a light through the chirks of the shutters, and rapped at the door.
 "Is that you, policeman ?" said g voice within. .E. "Yes," answered Badger,
 Well,-it's only me.-Tt's all right. Kind O chilly out, isn't it ?" "Yes."
 "Thought so. I was just fixing the fire. Goodnight"
 Badger said goodnight, and pur' sued his way.
 An hour afterward Badger passed through Jessup street again, and agair he saw the light in the iewelry store. II didn't look right, and he banged at the door loudly. "Halloo p cried the voice within "Is it you, policeman ?' "Yes."
 "All right. Won't you come in anc warm you? It won't hurt anything fol you to slip from your beat a few min Eutes."
 The door was opened, and Policeman Badger entered, and found the inmate tc be very gentlemanly looking man, in { linen duster. .5. "Come right up to the stove, police man. Excuse me moment" The man took the ash-pan from the bottom of the stove, and carried it dow1 cellar and emptied it, and when he haG returned and wiped his hands, Ee sai6 with smile
 "Ohilly night. isn't it ?'' l "Yes."
 "Chilly outside, and dull inside (Another smile). New goods for thu spring trade, and have to keep our eye open. Lonesome work, this watching all night; but I manage to find bit o comfort in his. Won't you join me in tip? You'll find it the pure thing" And the man in the duster produced black bottle and tumbler.
 Policeman Badger partook, and hay ing wiped his lips, and given his finger new warming, he left the store and re sumed his beat, satisfied that all wa right in at Dayton x Fogg's.
 But the morning brought new re veaIment. Day ton & Fogg's store ha' been robbed, during the night, of si thousand dollars worth of watches am Ijewelry and though Policeman Badge carries in his mind an exact daguerreo type of the robber, the adroit rascal Ina not yet been found.-Neac Tork Paper.

H1aH-wNEs.-Au official statement from the United States Internal Revenue Department shows that on May 1, the quantity of spirits in bond in the United States was s,672, ,417 gallons. This would give rather more than gallon to every adult male in the Union, and, consider ing that the daily production amounts to 217, ,6S2 gallons, it is pretty clear that whatever else we may have scarcity of, it will not be whisky. In fact, the rate of production assumes positively alarm ing dimensions, when we consider that it is equivalent to 79, 453, 930 gallons per aanum. Making due allowance for our large export trade in distilled spirits, and for the stimulated production due to the increase of duty on the 1st of August, it is pretty clear that, in spite of all efforts to the contrary, the nation al consumption of this class of intoxi- eating fluids is greatly on the increase.

THE END OF THE STR1KE.-Elated by their success in checking the eight-hour strike, the capitalists of New York, so a paper says, will attempt to compel re- turn to the old system with the trades that have gained shorter time. The carpenters, bricklayers, masons, and furniture makers will soon be ordered to work ten hours. The painters have already been told to begin the ten-hour- system again. The men all say they will go ou. on strike. The sewing machine employees resume on the old basis. The iron and metal workers, who have held out only to sustain the sewing machine men, declare their strike unnecessarily closed.

THE NEW WORLDS GRAND REMEDY.- The Old World has played it's part in veg etable medication. But the botany of the New World is, as yet, imperfectly ex- plored. One new and most important revelation from that land of wonders Calfornia-has astsnishcd the scientific, and accomplished such cures of diseases of the stomach and bowels, bilious complaints, malarious levers, nervous affections, and all diseases proceeding from a vitiated condi- tion of the blood, as have never before been witnessed. Before WALKERS CALL FoRNIA VINEGAR BITTERs all the alcoholic end mineral medicines are rapidly falling into disusc. They cannot resist the over towering evidence brought forward every day, of the immense superiority of this medicine. Not a drop of any variety of distilled or fermented liquor or mineral poison enters into its composition. It is a general aperient, tonic derived from en- tirely new vegetable sources, an unrivalled stomachic, admirable in all pulmonary dis eases and, in fact, as near to universal remedy as botanical discovery and scientific skill can hope to attain. Dr. Walker con- siders it cure for all diseases not organic, and really the great variety of diseases in which it is successful seems to warrant the opinion. Every family needs such rem edy. It saves pain, anxiety and doctors bills. We know what trouble it IS to keep the bowels of children Tn order, and any remedy that will strengthen and reg rlate their weak and variable digestion must be domestic blessing.-Com.

HnArrp.-In eew of the alarming paragraphs cure hat this time of the year concerning persons who are said to have died from drinking or bathing in cold water ''while overloaded, " it is well for the public to know that the dan ger in such cases arises from doing either of the things in question afser the body has begun to cool.

THE 1Ln-FATED FANNIE.-The Fannie landed a valuable cargo of arms and ammunition in Cuba. She got aground and burned. The expedition consisted of fifty-six men, and was commanded by Peralta. The expeditionists, landed and buried the cargo. Valera attacked the filibusters, killing Peralta and capturing their flag, important correspondence for Cespedes, and five prisoners-two officers and three privates. Guided by the prisoners, Valera discovered the buried cargo, and secured it in good condition.
 Valera pursued the filibusters, and troops have been ordered to the jurisdiction to attempt to cut off the remainder of the party. It is supposed in Havana that part of the Fannie's cargo was tranship-
 ped into two sloops and landed on the north side of the island. The fate of the Fannie's crew is unknown, but it is pre- sumed that they joined the filibusters.
 It is asserted, however, that they took to their boats and went to Jamaica. A telegram announces that sixteen more of the expeditionists have been captured and shot: that two cannons, 160 rifles, over two hundred cases of cartridges, and many barrels of powder have been unearthed; and that the discoveries and pursuit of the expeditionists are still going on. Five armed Cubans of the Cabaniguan party have surrendered. It is reported that the band was dissolved, and that the remaining members have gene 6ome $a order to surrender. ass3

THE VALLEY OF DEATH.-A spot almost as terrible as the prophets valley of dry bones, lies just north of the old Mormon
 road to California, a region 30 miles long by 30 broad, and surrounded, except at two points, by inaccessible mountains.
 Itis totally devoid of water and vegeta- tion, and the shadow of bird or wild beast never darkens its white glaring sands. The Kansas Pacific railroad engi- neers discovered it, and also some papers which show the fate of the ''lost Mont gomery train," which came south from Salt Lake in 1850 guided by 0 Mormon.
 When near Deaths Valley some came to nothing about the country, so they ap- pointed one of their number leader, and broke off from the party. The lea
 and wagons and flocks he travelled three days, and then descended into the broad valley, whose treacherous mirage prom ised water. They reached the centre, but only the white sand, bounded by scorching peaks, met their gaze. Around the valley they wandered, and one by one the men died, and the panting fecks stretched themselves in death under the not sun. 1uon Guo Cullufen, crying TOT water, died at their mothers breasts, and with swollen tongues and burning vitals the mothers followed. Wagon after wagon was abandoned, and strong, men tottered, and raved and died. After a weeks wandering, 8 dozen survivors found some water in the hollow of a rock in the mountain. It lasted but a short time, when all perished but two, who escaped out of the valley and followed the trail of their former com panions. Eighty seven families with hundreds of animals perished here, and now, after % years, the wagons stand still complete, the iron work and tires are bright, and the shriveled. skeletons lie side by side.-SprinUseld Repssb1ica'a.

The Monmouth Cup.

The great race between Longfsllow and Harry Bassett at Long Branch has been the exciting topic among horsemen. The two animals were in fine condition. It is said that from one to three million dollars changed hands on the result. Almost immediately on the drum being tapped, Bassett rushed to the front and was leading clear length, which Long fellow decreased to half length before they had reached the middle of the turn, where both boys took strong pull on each of their horses. At the three quarters there was still half-length between them, which was also the dis tance between them ct the string, inn mediately after passing which Long, fellow moved up trif1e and was only Q neck behind the favorite. Going round the turn, Bassett having the inside, drew away little and at the quarter was three quarters of length in front, the pace from the first, having been quite hot. going down the back-stretch Longfellow again moved up closer, but at the half mile post, which completed the first mile of the race, the two cracks were neck-and- neck. In the turn only short head separated them, both running very fast, and although Bassett had the lead 1t was very evident that Longfellow was run ming the easiest. At the three-quarters Bassett, who gained little in the turn, was half a length in front. But as soon as they were we'll settled into the straight, Longfellow shut up the gap, and after a short run took the lead, and was leading full length as they went under the string for the second time In the turn Longfellow increased this lead to two lengths, and at the quarter made it four. Here, for the first time in his life prob ably Bassett got the whip, and in an instant the assembled thousands knew that. the great Harry Bassett was a de- feated horse for on feeling the whip and spur he sulked like rogue, throw ing up his heels and tail, giving Roe considerable trouble to ride him. The scene in the stand and on the track was now one of the most intense excitement. Immediately on Samples discovering that Bassett was in trouble he took a pull on Longfellow, for fear that he would show too much, or rather not enough time. But he steadily increased the distance between him and Roe, sc that at the half he was ten lengths in front; so at the three quarters he was twelve, and at the finish he was fully 10C yards.
