ALBANY.
After Murderer.

ALBANY, August l9.-The District
Attorney and Assistant Mr.. Conway,
Coroner Harregan and Detective Ma
lone are in Brooklyn, New York, to-day
procuring aflidavits in the case Of
Emil Lowensteio, supposed TO be the
murderer OF John D. Weston, OF Brook
lyu, to be used in the trial before the
Canadian court. The Canadian laws
require that the prisoner shall remain
on British territory seven days after the
commitment by the Judge. 1t is
thought that Lowenstein will reach
Albany in about ten days and will
probably be indicted by the grand jury
OF the Court of Quarter Sessions which
will meet the first week in September.
The Albany Evening Journal speak,
ing Of LoTenstein's arrest, says:
THE chain of evidence against the
murderer is perfect. Not single link
is missing and when, after his rendi-
ton is effected, as it will be in few
days, the wretch shall be put on his
trial, his conviction assured and the in.

CDIfnX Again.

OF all those Congressmen who dab
bled in Credit MobIlier stock, and then
denied it, Mr.. Coliax is the most un-
happy. Convicted of taking stock on
the testimony Of Oakes Ames him SELL
he refuses to stay convicted. lie has
resorted, time and again, 10 all sorts Of
shallow artifces to remove the stain on
his reputation. He has denied, and
wriggled, and prevaricated, but all to no
purpose. The more he struggled the
deeper he got into the mira, until. finally
he concluded to desist from making
assertions which, 10 his djsmay, we're
constantly met by counter statements
that completely reiuted them. When
be ceased any longer TO struggle against
the inevitable, q lohhyman undertook
10 disprove the payment
to him OF the $1,000 check
which Oakes Ames drew in his favor
on the Sergeant-at-arms. The lobby
mans statement was so evidently q
fabrication that no one was found
.credulous enough to believe it. Finally
the Chicago Journal. on the alleged au.
thority OF HarperS Weekly quoted Gen.
Clinton S. Fiske, ofSt. Louis, as having
said that in an interview with Oakes
Ames, shortly before his death, the
latter announced to him (Fiske) that
the charges against Mr.. Coliax were
false. And now gentleman who was
not only intimate with Oakes Ames,
but who attended him during the closing
hours OF his life, declares that he is pre-
pared to state on oath that two days be-
fore he died Mr.. Ames told him that
Colfax had lied about that check, and
it could be proven" The gentleman
further alleges that there are documents
which he aud others had seea in Mr..
Ames' possession (which contain, in
black ink, the most conclusive tesli-
mony, and would be go considered by
any jury in the country" lie adds
that the relatives OF Mr.. Ames DO not
desire any more controversy over this
matter, but if the story is reptat-
ed on the authority Of General
Fiske, they will be ready to substant-
ate the truth OF Oakes Ames, testimony
by actual proof. We don't think, after
this challenge, that General FIske will
make any further effort to vindcate
Mr.. Coltax.

RepnhlIcan Salary Grabs.
From the New York World.

From the New GoEk world.
It is a singular fact, and one worthy
OF notice, that the Republicans since
they cam into power at Washington,
have three times increased the pay Of
members OF Congress. The first Cong
ress in which the Republicans had ma.
jority elected y. P. Banks, Speaker, and
before the adjournment increased the
pay OF Congressmen. Up to that time
the compensation was $ per day, and
the democrats held that it was ample.
But the Republicans were not satisfied
with this and increased it to So, 900 per
year in gold. In 1866 the Republicans
again went in for an increase and raised
it to 5000 per year. This was after
the close Of the war, when the country
was trying to get back from inflated
pEices-
Now comes another Republican
Congress Of 1872 and 1873, which votes
another increase, ard not satisfied TO
apply 70 oa.y future sessions, pro-
yide5 back Psy CT the entire term sbop
expiring when toe bill pa.seed. Thus
we have the fret and last Republican
Congress deyoi.Lg i;seif to the business

m 7Glse OF the party when it came into
power aud has setteled into a confirm
i abit. g sort Of second nature. Re
publican rule has added q heavy deb;
20 the nation, and enormous salaries

PIE have paid dearly for Republican
rulers.

A Summer Resort.


Much has been written OF late in re-
gard to the eligibility of convenient
and suitable locality for the establishs
ment of a Summer Hotel, for the re-
quirements Of families in the city dur
ing the hot months, and number OF
places in the vicinity have been mem
toned as desirable for such purpose,
but to my view the proper locality, have
ing the necessary convenience, seclusion
and ruralhH has not yet been found.
The object is to have resort in the
country that offers the most complete
contrast TO the city, which will prove a
beneficial place of recreation to the
mind as well as TO the body. The Mas
tional turnpike does not offer any such
place. The seeker after health and
recreation from the noise and smoke
and cares Of the city would avoid the
travel, the dust and the heat Of that
thoroughfare. Points on the river,
below and above the city, at conven-
lent distance or the railroad, are in
greater degree Objectionable. The din,
and smoke Of great manufactures that
now exist, and are multiplying in these
directions, would destroy all idea OF
quiet repose and healthful recreation.
To get rid of all OF these, one would 60
out OF town.
In my opinion, and l have given the
subject some attention, the most desir.
able locality for o resort Of the Kind
mentioned, is the place known as El-
lendale, on Wheeling creek, two and a
half miles from the Elm Grove depot
on the Hempfeld railroad. This spot
affords the desired requirements. 1t is
convenient OF access from the city by
railroad and carriage; it is IN the deep
seclusiou of the country; the scenery
about it is picturesque; the creek which
passes by it offers every facility for fish
ing and bathing, and q pleasure boat
could be added at email cost, with suf-
ficient still water for the pleasure and
,xercise OF boating.
There are woods, felds, and orchards
r,r every required purpose OF support
nd amusement; the wide lawn about
ne Old stone mansion, filled with grand
rIi trees, is certainly the loveliest spot
within fifty miles Of Wheeling. There
are abundant springs Of pure cold wa
ter on the place. An addition to the
house with modern Improvements
would answer every requirement as a
summer resort. Everything could be
raised on the place to supply the table,
while the farm could he worked at an
independent profit. | have lived in
Wheeling fifty years, and EN- familiar
with every foot of is surroundings, but
l don't know o place in the neighbor-
hood so desirable tor summer resi-
dence-so convenient to the city, and
away from every disturbing cause.
l am informed that this place can be
purchased at a reasonable price. At
Elm Grove real estate has reached city
prices. ROANOKE.

Late Developments I'm the Cofee'
Market.

We condense from the New York
Bulletin the following: The crops have
been doing remarkably well everywhere,
except at three quite important points:
In the Brazils, on the Malsbar coast,
and in Java. The deficiency in the
former country ia quite considerable /;
in fact, the present years crop will not
reach one-third of an average, while the
latter two places will be but slightly
deficient. To these items Of a steady
consumption and Brazil short crop is
added the ever returning consideration
that there are no reserve stocks
such as the ports OF Northern
Europe and the United States
used to carry from one season
into another of, altogether, between
100000 and 100000 bags. The distri-
button to consumption during the first
seven months at the Atlantic ports has,
in 1873, been $1,000 tons against $4,000
in 1872, 76,000in 1871, $4,000 in 1870,
and $4,000 in 1869. Consumption had
been checked, but is now fast recover
ing, apparently regardless OF an unpre~
cedentedly high cost. Increased con-
sumption and a lessened importation
have exhausted the available stock at
the six leading ports by II, 900 tons,
as compared with the full supply OF
with which we entered upon the fall
season a year ago. This being the case,
the question arises, what can we rea-
sonabIy expect during the remaining
five months from the producing coun-
tries and from Europe to enable
us to carry into 1874 the came
stock we brought into the present
year and 1872, of 5000 tons.
Our importatons from the first Of
August to the 3lst of September. 1872,
have been $4,000 tons; 1871, $4,000;
1870. $1,000; 1869, 10000; 1868, 49,
600. flour consumption during the
remainder OF 1873 increases in the
same ratio as it has thus far this year,
and the exhausted stock in the hands
of the retail trade in the interior cause
US to expect such to take place, we
shall consume 62, 900 tons, against So
COO in 1872, and shall require 10000
tons more than we got last year, or
5000 tons more than we received in
1871. In order to get what we shall
want, we shall have to lay Europe
under contribution to the extent OF 20,
600 tons, and draw from the producing
countries $4,000 tons beside. This
cannot be effected without a consdera>
bic rise in value in our own market
and elsewhere.

TheTOY Land.

In Amelia B. Edwards new book,
"Untrodden Peaks and Unfrequented
Valleys" she describes the toy land
which she finds at st. Ulrich 1--WE
hadineyer even heard Of st. Ulrich till
within few days ago, and then but
vaguely as q village where wooden
toys and wayside Christs were made /;
and now we find that we have, so to
say, been on intimate terms with the
place from earliest infancy. That re1
markable animal on q little wheeled
platform which we fondly took to repre-
sent black horse with an eruption OF
scarlet discs upon his body, and q name
and tail derived from snppings OF an
crent fur tippets, he is OF the purest
Grodner Thai breed. Those wooden
jointed dolls of all sizes, from babies
half an inch in length to mothers OF
families two feet high, whose complex
ion always came off when we washed
their faces, they are the aborigines OF
the soil" On the manufacture OF toys
at St. Ulrich the author has good
deal to say, and she relates how she
was taken through one warehouse in
the village containing more than thirty
large storerooms, twelve Of which were
full OF dolls-"milions Of them,
large and small, painted and un-
painted, in bins, in cases, on
shelves, in parcels ready packed for
expectation. One room contained
horses another Was full OF carts, another
piled with doll's heads. A "smart"
doll maker, it is said, can turn out
twenty dozen small jointed dolls one
inch and a half in length per diem.
Another establishment was devoted to
what may be termed high art, and there
Miss Edwards saw rooms Of beautiful
saints and Christs OF all sizes in ivory,
in ebony and in wood. in the attics,"
she writes, I'VE saw bins after bins Of
crowns OF thorns only The villagers
in the toy country are al actively en-
gagged in the manufacture OF Christs for
churches, and Of other objects required
by Roman Catholics, ss well as OF toys
for children. In one house the travel,
ers found whole family carving skulls
ard cross bones, in another a dozen
girls were painting gray horses with
black points, in a third they painted
only red horses with white points. A
good hand will paint twelve dozen
horaes a day.

Lives are frequently los: by noXious

by the adoption Of the following very
simple means: Take some pieces Of

in it q brick to give weight, aud attach
to the bundle a rope Of sufficient length
