Special agent Jayne, Of the custom
house, has been made defendantin in suit
for trespass, brought against him by Platt
& Boyd, glass importers, who are being
prosecuted for the recovery of million
dollars revenue. 1t seems Platt Il Boyd
discovered that five of their clerks were
giving information to q rival house and
discharged them. Jayne Immediately
took them into his service, and from
information given him, obtained a war
rant giving him right to seize books
and papers relating to certain
specific frauds, but according TO
an affidavit from Jayne, malicious
ly intending to injure and frighten
them into the payment of large sum
of money in order to obtain back their
property and prevent Interruption of
their business, and consequent injury to
their commercial standing and credit,
violently seized and caused to be carried
away all books and papers, as well as
those which he was advised were refer
red to in said warrant. The firm charge
Jayne with gross imprOpriety of speech,
manners and action. When he first
entered their store he threatened to put
them all into Ludlow street jail, saying,
as alleged: II will lock up the whole
damned lot of you tonight if it takes
the whole army and navy Of the United
States to do it.p
Nineteen families of Mennonites,
six hundred persons in all, arrived here
yesterday from Russia bound for Kan
sas. They will not leave the city until
Monday, as they say they can't travel

try. The delegation who recently visited
the west will report upon their return to
Russia where to plant a colony,
and hope to send out a company Of
fifteen thousand in May next.

A Berlin correspondent says one of the
events for which It is well to be pre-
pared is the death Of the German en-
peror. AppIehensions about his case
arise not so much from specific attack
of illness as from various signs, insignifi-
cant when taken apart, but full of sig
nificance when grouped together. The
journey to st. Petersburg left, it is said,
bad effect on his constitution. He re-
turned rather tired after a long round
of dissipation and a tedious railway
journey. Soon after the shah arrived.
To the physical fatigue incident to the
part of host, was added nervous suf-
fering, brought on by the eccentricities
of the guest. 1t was supposed at one
time that his illness was feigned, in
order to escape further interviews with
the king of kings. After the departure
of the shah, the emperor returned to
Potsdam, where, one hot afternoon, he
suddenly tainted, falling heavily for
ward on the floor, and only after
al uOuI was nC DIOuSul " SOuSC1OAS~
ness. He is petulant and vaccillating,
and has morbid dread of being alone
disturbed, says a correspondent, of
extent to which his government has
been involved in war with the holy
see.
