His Conduct While There-A Revival
OF khe Frank Blair Campaign.
The New Haven Palladium contains
the following statement concerning the
conduct and condition of B. G. Brown
while in New Haven, made by one of
the officials of the hotel where Gov
Brown was stopping:
" Mr.. Brown came to the New Have1,
House late Wednesday night, and went
to bed. What time he got up do not
know, but he went out, [ suppose to
the Yale commencement exercises.
When he came back from there. before
he went to the alumni dinner, he went
to his room and sent down for some
brandy. l. sent him up, before he went
away, three drinks of brandy for which
L received pay. He came back after
the dinner, and between that time and
the time when he made his speech, he
sent down for three more glasses of
brandy, and am not sure but more.
| know that [ sold him six drinks of
brandy, and [ think that I sold him
eight, and he paid me for them. When
he came down to the ofie, before going
to the boat, to pay his BILL [ saw that
he was very drunk. He paid his bill,
however, and then turning to the por-
ter, he said: What in - has this
man donea' (Here followed the con-
yersatlon with the porter, which was
too vile and profane to put in print,
but which the clerk can swear to. A
reporter then stepped up to him and
asked him to look over his notes of the
speech, and Brown replied = I don't
care Cd d-n for any newspaper.
and other expressions of the same sort.
He then started for the side
door, where hack was in
waiting for him. He staggered as he
went along, but finally went away
alone. About fifteen minutes after he
had gone, Governor English came down
stairs and [ said, Governor, Mr..
Brown was rather tight, wasn't heP'
Yes, replied the governor, some
what set up On being asked to state
again what Mr.. Browns condition was,
the reply was, He was boozy drunk.
To be sure that nothing was incorrectly
taken down, our informant listened to
the reading of the notes of what he
had said, as given above, and respond
ed that they were all correct, and that
he was perfectly willing to make an af-
tidavlt to the statement If required. "

The Vienna Exposition.

letter nom Vienna gives some en-
couraglng details regarding the pros
pect 81 The Universal Exhibition of
1873 in the Austrian capital. The
building makes rapid progress great
part of the principal gallery, as well as
of the four transverse galleries, of the
Palace of Industry, being covered in.
The last day for the reception of exhib-
itors' demands for admission was the
1st OF July. The result srrpasses all
previous precedent More than Is, 900
Austrian exhibitors have announced
their intention of taking part in the ex-
hlbitiOn, and from Hungary alone have
come 3,00C requests for admission. At
the first London Exhibition, in 1851,
there were 1881 English exhibitors :;
and at the second, in 1862, 1887 At
the first Paris Exhibition, in 1855,
there we're IL, ,003 French exhibitors,
and at the second, in
1867, there were 10000; so
that the number of Austrian exhibitors
is considerably higher than the high.
est at any similar show of the kind.
The German Empire will be represent
ed by 5000 exhibitors, Belgium by 8O0
while Italy. Switzerland and other Eu-
ropean countries will send their prod
ucts IN large quantities. Of more dis
tant countries-the United States,
Brazil, China, Japan-wiil be well re-
presented, and the Porte, as well as
Egypt, have taken the requisite steps
to ensure the participation of the East
IN the universal competition Large
enclosures are being prepared in the
ence1nte Of the Exhibition, for the ac-
commodation of Turkish and Egyptian
products. There is every prospect,
therefore, that the Vienna Exhibition

Senator Wilson on Grant.

An immense RepubG can meeting was
held at Richmond, Ind, on the Sd,
which was addressed by Senator Will
son of Massachusetts, and Gov. Noyes,
of Ohio. The following passage IN
Wilson's speech Is noteworthy:
Regarding the record OF President
Grant in war and peace he said that as
chairman of the military committee IN
the Senate, he had special advantages
to study his character from the begin
ming. Of all the Generals in the field,
he showed himself the most efficient
and far-sighted He favored putting
colored men in the army. In 1868, Gen
Grant urged the adoption OF al
amendment to the Constitution granting
suffrage to the negroes. He favored
and suggested the original reconstruc'
tion bill, and did more than any
man to secure the adoption Of the fiji
teenth amendment in 1069-70, He con
CURED in the passage of the Ku-klu1
bill only after it was perfectly appar
ent that the regroes in Louisiana anl
other Southern states could not pro
tect themselves He hesitated to as
sume the power conferred upol
him by that law. His cours'
toward the white people of tht
South had invariably been humane
The speaker averred that Summers ad
ditional civil rights bill was supported
by the administration members OF botl
houses of Congress, but was opposed
by Trumbull, Sehurz and their follow
ers, and defeated by the Democrats
Fl e said an effort is now being made t'
draw colored votes away from Grant
but, having been over the field he wa.
prepared to say that SO out OF ever'

A Trick That Was Vain,

One of the most remarkable crimi-
nails of the century is now in prison
in Ireland. His name is Sadlier. He
was the son of a small tradesman in
Rosscrea, Ireland. A successful law
practice made him moderately rich.
He. became banker, grew wealthy
rapidly, and was sent to Parliament.
In London, everything he touched
turned to gold. To dispose of his in
come, he kept two splendid 'Festablish-
ments" in the city, gambled away in
SIX months nearly $1,OOO,OOO at the
aristocratlc Whites Club. and plunged
into every extravagant folly. At last,
the crash came, His own fortune was
gone, the capital and deposits of his
bank We're gone, and the results of a
series of audacious fOrgeries
were gone. The roar of exc
Grafton was checked for an instant by
the discovery, on Hampton Heath, of a
dead body, with a suicides written con-
fesslon lying beside it. A disconsolate
servant identified the remains, and the
body was buried amid the curses Of the
thousands of persons whom Sadlier
had ruined. The dead man rose from
his grave. Last June he was seen by
one OF his victims at hotel in Nor
mand y. English detectives were tele-
graphed for, requisition was issued,
and the embezzler and forger was arrest
ed. The disco1solate servant and a
"resurrectionist' had prepared the
body found on the Heath, and Sadlier,
after writing the confession, had fed to
the Continent, where he has lived fol

In q court man who was called on
to appear as q witness could not be
found On the Judge asking where he
was, an elderly gentleman rose up and
with puch emphasis said: "Your
Honor, he's gone" "Gone, gone"
said the Judge, "where is he gone?n
'sThat / cannot inform you," replied
the communicative gentleman, "but
he's dead This is considered the
most guarded answer on record.
A FEMININE correspondent of the
Washington Capital tells about Bos-
ton lady who recently got herself up
most gorgeously for dinner at one of
the great watering-place hotels. She
had the misfortune to sneeze just as
she sat down, when suddenly the half
of the waist Of her dress ripped out,
and somebody had to put shawl
around her. Her dress was an excel
lent fit upon a well proportioned form,
and having been made upon single
thread sewing machine, the sneeze
broke the thread.
AN astonished person is an object
either of pity or levity. An instance
occurred on Scotch ferry-boat, illus
trating surprise as the result of
stupidity, and coming under both
cIassifcations The boat was slowly
leaving the landing place, and as the
ropes were being thrown off man
rushed hurriedly down to secure
passage. He gathered himself for
tremendous leap, and, springing, landed
far upon the deck of the boat. It was
as much as a full minute before he
could stand erect, and then, turning,
his comical expression was explained
by his words: "Eh, mon, what a
leap!" The boat was then about
seventy feet out, and the child of Gale
donia, in his simplicity, believed that
he had leaped the opening.
In a case in which Jeffrey and

Could I help smiling? 1t was May:

Last spring minded so to play
At winter. Bnt there fell shadow
That was not born Of cloud and sun
Upon the greennGss at my side:
I felt shiYer through ne run,
And all the gladness in me died.
Dead, purple v1olets in the grass,
Each like early blighted maiden,

But summer shall supplant the spring
And roses lord it over them
Was that the shadow of a wipg?"

We're chill, despite of song and shine;

Creep up again-1t was not mine!
But still scothed myself in thought,

The blessed winds of June shall scatter"

Gruff bumblebees in gilded vests
Made all the cherry blossoms culver.
A broken lily, in the way,
Was.crushed beneath my careless foot;
"What else" whisper seemed to say,
ais like flower without root ?'
What matters it, this June, that red
And white rose-buds have burst asunder?
Since one is sad, and one is dead
How did my heart divine, wonder?
All! shadows shadows everywhere!
But then his grave Is in the sun
Only, when am crouching there,
It almost seems that I am one
