THE RIVERS AND WEATHER.
The river is stationary opposite the
city, but is rising rapidly at Cairo;
light rise is reported in the Cumberland
and Tennessee that will improve naviga-
ton not little. The upper Mississippi
is rising slowly, but an early freeze-up
is expected, for which steamboatmen are
preparing. The Missouri is low and not
improving any. The Arkansas has,
during the past forty-eight hours, risen
nearly two feet, but is again falling with
but three and half feet over the worst
places. The changes in other streams
will be found in our telegraphic table
absve. The weather to-day is clear and
pleasant.

POLICE COURT.
Recorder winters Visitors shia
Morning.


About twenty individuals appeared be-
fore the Recorder this morning to ans
wer the charges recorded against them
on the police court docket. As usual,
the majority Of the offenders against
the peace and dignity Of the State "
were guilty Of no greater crime than
having been drunk, and these were let
Of with mere fine Of five dollars each,
unless they we're also guilty OF disorderly
conduct which always adds FIVE dollars
more. A plain fist and skull" fight is
set down at ten dollars usually, but in
aggravated cases the fine goes as high
as fifteen and twenty dollars. The price
Of an assault and battery is twenty-five
dollars, while the uniform assessment
against vagrants is fifty dollars.
STOLEN PAsTALoogs. f
Three mackerels known as John Long,
John Lee and Mike Mallory were
brought up before the Recorder 81 arged
with the larceny of sundry pa IS Of
pantaloons. The owner THE dyei gand
cleaning shop at the cornerof Wa hing
ton street and Center alley made com
plant at police headquarters that his
shop had been robbed Of six pairs Of
pantaloons, one pair of which had been
made in the shop and the others left to
be cleaned and repaired. He furnished
the detectives SAMPLE Of the cloth Of
which one Of the articles was made, and
the unraveler of mysteries started out
to work it up. 1t was not long before
his eye rested upon pair of unmen-
tionables that corresponded with the
sample he held in his hands, and very
soon thereafter the wesrer was interro
gated behind the bars at the station
house. The pants proved to be the
identical pair sought after, and led to
the arrest of the three young men named
above, and the subsequent recovery Of
almost the entire stock in trade of the
aforementioned cleaner and repairer.
They waived examination this morning,
and were committed TO Jail. They will
be indicted by the grand jury on Mon
day.

HOW CONNECTICUT REFORMS HER
CRIMINALS.

The criminals of Connecticut are
given, in the State Prison at Weth-
ersfeld, cells which are three and a
half feet in width by seven in length
At one end is an orifce for. ventila
ton; it is four inches by two. At
the other is the door, which is solid
with the exception of a grating, two
feet by one and half. This is up
so high, and admits so little light.
that the convicts have to hold books
at arms length above their heads
in order to read. The bed sacks
and pillow-c cases are never taken
away until worn out. They are
never washed. Sheets and other
linen are now washed once in two
weeks; until a few months ago they
went to the laundry once in six
weeks. Many ofthe prisoners have
not had a bath within year. Each
one of them rises with the sun:
marches in absolute silence to a sink
and washes; receives his breakfast,
which is eaten in his cell; marches
to shop, where he works all dav.
forbidden to speak q word or ex
change a glance with his fellows
and is then locked into his cell, to
wait in darkness for the next dreary
round. 1t is due to Connecticut to
say that she feeds the animals in
this internal menagerie very we'll.

The Railway Treaty between Ger
many and LuXemburg was signed
on the 11th of June, and the ratif-
cations will be exchanged on the
18th of July. BY the provisions oil
the treaty Germany undertakes nev.
er to do anything at variance with
the principles of Luxemburg's neu-
trality,and never to use the Luxem-
burg Railway lor the transport OF
troops. In time of war this railway
is not to be used for conveying mil
itary supplies. The treaty will be
communicated to the Powers.
Alexis habits are said not to have
improved by long absence from his
mother,and like the Prince of Wales
in Paris, lie is too much of an ha-
bitue of the concert saloons, where

ed attention to this and advised the
ladies not to dance with him, but the
good counsel was thrown away.
On Tuesday of last week, about
half-past ten O'Clock, ,at Beaver Falls,
as an old man about seventy five
years of age was walking over the
lower end of the bridge that cross
es Beaver river, he was struck by q
section of freight train No. -, that
he did not hear approaching, and
knocked off the bridge, falling to
the ground below, a distance of sew
enty five feet. Medical aid was
called but nothing could be done to
relieve the old man, as he was injur-
ed past recovery, and after the ex-
piration Of about an hours time he
died. His body was taken to his
home in New Brighton. -n

DEMOCRATIC GREELEY CONVEN-
Tt0N.

The past week has been a remark
ably prolific one in the way of polit-
ical conventions of the Democratic
Greeley sort. Mississippi, Virginia
and Georgia at the South, ,and Him
ois, Ohio, and New Jersey at the
North, have held conventions, and
with the exception of Georgia and
New Jersey, have instructed for
Greeley. In these two States there
was an anti-Greeley element that
defeated instructions, but his friends
control the delegations, and they
will probably vote them as unit.
The States named will be represent
ed by lsS delegates in the conven-
ton. or course there is no longer
a doubt that Horace will have not
only two thirds, but very likely
seven-eights of the delegates. His
supporters have managed these
Democratic conventions with the
same certainty of success as a Wig
orous, able bodied person would
direct the steps Of poor, blind,
tottering, weary, old man, whose
''trembling limbs have BONE him to
your door," And this pretty fairly
describes the condition of the old
Democratic party. Its decrelitude
is painful, even if the inevitable
ending should prove a blessing.

REMARKABLE FREAK.

A young apple tree, bearing the
Fameuse variety, in a garden in
Burlington, VT, has indulged in 6
very remarkable freak this spring,
A couple Of weeks ago it blossomed
as usual, ,and is now covered with ap.
Piles the size of a hickorynut. On
Monday the owner was surprised to
observe upon the tree large white
blossom. The flower is entirely
different from the regular apple tree
blossoms, which have but five single
petals. This has many rows of pc
tails, and at the heart, instead of a
bunch of yellow stamens like the
apple blossoms. it has knot of pe-
tails still unfolding resembling the
petunia. is three times the size
of an ordinary apple blossom, and
resembles large double" white
rose. 1t is the only blossom upon
the tree, and presents a very snowy
appearance. ..... >

GOOD.

Honest, bluff old Ben Wade
wants to know who has done more
for his country than Gen. Grant,
and asks, "when was the country
more prosperous in every depart
ment than now! Look at the re-
dnction Of the taxes and the pub
lie debt at the same time, and then
tell me, grumbler, of what you have
to complain. Where is the man, since
Washington, who has rendered
greater or better service to the Re-
public than Gen. Grant? Name
him, if he is to be found, and 1 will
help to make him President. But
if no such man is to be found, then
/ am for Grant against the world"

INTERESTING EXHIBIT,

The interesting exhibit is made
showing, in the collection of Gus
toms, amounting to $553, 900, 600
the loss to the Government, during
the past three years, is but $2S,00(
and that the losses to creditors, by
the insolvency of national banks, is
$5 81 in every 100000, while the
losses in the Internal Revenue De
partment for the same period have
been a fraction less than 50 90 in
every $4,000. This statement is
especially gratifying at this time,
when the Greeleyites and Demo
Gratis are accusing the administra-
tion of squandering, and its public
officers of stealing, millions of dol
lars. They, of course, will not
publish the above figures, except to
distort the statement and cypher
out falsehoods with which to hood
wink their readers. But anything
to beat Grant, if it be the very dev-
il HIMSELF as Robert Toombs says.

SIGNS OF A BOLT.

Every indication, politically, now
points to a regular bolt from the
Democratic nemineesof Baltimore.
The World has invited this by its
declaration that "hundreds of thou
sands of Democrats will refuse to
vote for Greeley, ''the lifelong as
sailant and defamer of the Demo
cratic party" Who would have
thought, a little while ago, that Hor-
ace would after all, be the involun-
tary medium for the disruption and
annihilation of the Democratic par
ty? And yet the signs are that he
will be, although he would fain pre-
serve its unity, and ask its support.
