THE MAYORS OFFICE.

There was nothing of startling Importance trans.
piring in the Mayors Office yesterday. His
Honor put couple OF matrimonial parties
through In his usual good-natured style,
and hoped that in their new relations
to each other the newly welded ones would
lead long ana happy lives He had the usual list
OF callers, among them, late in the afternoon,
Police commissioners Smith and Charlck. 1t Is
understood that the object OF their visit was to
confer in reference to the appointments Of election
inspectors.
The Mayor usually receives quite long array Of
correspondence, and the following will serve as
specimen OF how the Executive mind IS beguied in
its leisure moments
YoUR HONOR MAYOR HAvEMryFR:-

Upon my toe and heel,

The chief cause Of the trouble was the lack Of
rain. But just as the number OF the rebels, nearly
all OF whom were farmers, had assumed danger
GUS proportions heavy rains set In, which have
continued with but little intermisston for nearly
two weeks. These heavy rains, though SO late,
have probably saved much bloodshed, for the

The Chinese rulers at the capital must see the ne

disturbances similar TO this In FakuOka in many
places this year; but should there be any regular
concerted movement OF the lower classes against
the government, with the present small native
army the consequences must be disastrous.

Two cases Of suicide have occurred here within
the last three days. One is the case OF Mr.. Hum
Bile, an Englishman, who was In the employ OF the

Yokohama. He was suffering severely from dis
ease contracted In this country and had also BEEN
to have been discharged on his arrival here Just.

OF the goth he jumped out OF q port hole and was
never seen afterwards.
The second case was that of one James Chase, o
native OF Boston, Mass He had been for a long.
time IN bad way, In consequence OF incorporate
habits, and from the same cause had lost more
than one good situation. He had lately become.
perfectly fmpecunious and was living in JeddO IN q
state OF poverty and restitution. On the 10th OF
this month he wrote q couple OF letters to some
friends and then took poison.
He was about thirty-nlne years Of age and q

STRANGE STORY OF RICHES IN RAGS AT CAMDEN,
NEW JERSEY.
If there is such a thing as "gilded poverty,
an examplifcation OF 1t was strikingly manifes-
ted in Cadmen during the past week. From in
fancy to the ripe old age of 80 years. two twin
sisters named Grace and Charity Kaighn, have
right property said to be worth at least Si00, 900
in eligible locations. Yet these two females
(they never married) lived together in almost
perfect seclusion, in the most eccentric manner.
Their house in Kaighn's avenue was always kept
closed and no one admitted except seuoh as came
to aid them in their business transactions, and
they were very few. Their apartments were
kept almost as gloomy as dungeons, and day af-
Ter day. week after week, month after month, and
year after year they CROPPED about in the darkness
Of their own created prison, denying themselves
even the comforts and necessaries Of life. For
many years this was their way of living, and
those who knew them best believed that at any
time they might be found dead in their houses
from self-denial and neglect. Some time last
summer they purchased fine new dwelling
house on Market street above Fourth and moved
into It early in the fall. What articles OF fur
niture they had we're set in the parlor, but they
were never put in their proper places. From
that time up TO Thursday week they lived in
their old way, without comforts or any thing
that would contribute to comfort.
From the Thursday alluded to, nothing had
been seen OF them. and no noise was made in
the house to indicate that they were alive. This
created a suspicion that something was wrong,
and officer Hofinger was instructed to force an
entrance. This was accomplished, when he
found to his horror, the most sickening sight he
ever met with. This room was bare of furniture,
dark AID dirty; no fire had been in the stove
in three days, and there on the settee, with
nothing over her but an old ragged and dirty
quilt, lay Grace hsighn, cold and stiff in death.
Ker sister Charity was found in corner Of tile
room almost doubled up, and in q perishing
condition. She was Immediately taken care OF,
and under direction of DIR. Armstrong. Coroner,
she il doing well. She did not know that Grace
was dead.
On table near by was a loaf Of bread and
come butter, which had not been touched. The
Coroner took charge Of the body, and had it
properly disposed or He found some SIS on
the person OF the deceased, and took possession
OF such papers and valuables as were found un-
til Ighttul parties to them appear. Among the
papels are several tax bills for real estate, one
of which calls for $780, which at the rate Of tax
alton. - 80 on the 800. would be for an as
aessed property Of SIG 900. This was for one
square OF ground, facing broadway, between
Lime and Pine streets. They owned large
amounts OF real estate in other parts Of Cam
den. Notwithstanding all this, they were in the
most affect state OF exposure and restitution,

the broad palm OF the Delaware /; reviews in

of the city and then goes on to describe q

Among these are the Brandywine Flour Mills,

Company the Seidel & Hastings Rolling Mills
Pusey, Scott & Co.'s Morocco Factory McLear
& Kendalls Carriage Works Walton, Whann

description of these, the writer, giving a rapid
sketch or our railroad connections, makes q
short trip up the Wilmington aud Western road,
as far ss Falkland, describing, there, the
spice mills Of the Messrs. Fell, and
telling the story, trefly, of Oliver Evans inyen-
tons and struggles.
This is the gist OF the article, which ia pre-

compliment which we shall surely acknowledge
a great magazine dealing thus kindly and elab-

serves itself at the same time.
