The charges against Duden, Freres
& Co. of defrauding the Government
through the New York Custom-hou'e,
are based upon afidsvits Of n former
employee OF that firm. He alleges
that his employers Systematically made
false invoices for goods and underval-
ucd their importations from 80 TO 80
per cent, and that in addition their
laces were involced at less than the
real quantities. These Irregularities
he says amounted to upwards of $780,
600. But he Is not content with charg-
ing his former employers with irregu-
larity, and makes the still graver
charge that they have extensively
struggled Chautilly and thread laces
and camels' hair shawls In casks, pur-
porting to contain London porter.
All these allegations my DO true, but
It strikes us that the Custon-house Of
ficials ought to have better means Of
finding it out than through a discharg-
ed employe, turned spy and informer.
The motives Of the latter are plainly
both money (his share will be a mil
lion II he substantistes his allegations)
and revenge. Tho case Of Phelps
Dodge s. Co. Is a very recent example
Of this kind Of business.

Death of an Aeronaut.

La Mountaine, the famous aeronaut,
made an ascension at lone, Michigan,
on the Fourth Of July. After attain
ing an altitude Of GOO feet the balloon
collapsedand rapidlyfell to the ground.
The following additional particulars
of the accident are telegraphed from
Chicago:
His balloon was hot air, and was
simply filled with rarified air, not gas.
The canvas has a worn appearance. as
II the worse for being filed with heat
ed air too often. At Its summit, where
the canvas was sown together, a block
OF some ten or twelve inches In diam
eter was fastened, and through hole
In this six guy ropes were secured,
hanging down over the sides, the bal
loon being at the bottom, some sew
enteen feet apart. and ttrese were tied
to a basket by the Professor himself.
There were no ropes running around
the balloon horizontally to keep the
guy ropes from slipping or to prevel {
me whole thing from sliding out be-
tween the ropes. With a gust of wind
at 500 T. N. the professor stepped In
to the basket and the balloon took a
shoot up almost perpendicularly, with
the professor swinging his hat to the
crowd, all apparently enjoying the
sight. In q few minutes more. how
ever, the mouth Of the balloon was OBJ
served to wave about two or three
times. and to pass between the ropes,

NEW SECRET POLITICAL oRaANI-
ZATION.

It IL said that the friends OF liberal
legislation In Massachusetts, are Or
ganizing a political society In that
State, on the old know-Nothing
principle rs to secrecy. and that they
are very sanguine Of success. The
Head Centre" Of the concern has al
ready been established in Boston, and
Branches " are being organized In
every county. A good many Of these
Branches " have already been formed
in Boston. and the leaders are san
guine aud enthusiastic about their sue
cess in the Fall election. The main
endeavor Of the organization Is to
wipe out the present stringent prohibi-
tory law. and the German element,
since the contiscation Of lager beer BY
the State police, have entered into the
movement with much earnestness. The
theory Of the leaders, in this new
movement, Is that there are thousands
OF men connected with either political
party who have become disguised with
the liquor law, and who will act qui.
city with the new organization In
aooiishlng the whole thing. They
claim that there are in Massachusetts
10000 voting Republicans who are
squarely opposed to p~rohibi,ory llouor
laws and that this number, added to
the $4,000 opposition, and a. there Il
no material question involved, will be
sufficient to secure at least a modifca.
ton Of the present law, so as to make
the sale Of ale and beer as free as be.
fore. II the movement has much
strength We shall soon hear Of 1t, for
Ben. Butler, II he finds it numerically
strong enough will at once leave the
temperance faith, to which he has just
attached himself, and return to the
embrace Of his old friends and his an
Client worship. Ben. Is a pretty good
w~eather-cock In political breezes; he
snuffs prey-vulture like-afar oil.

Beyond the Mississippi.

Thousands have already gone, and
thousands more are turning their eyes
towards new homes in the fertile West
To those going to Missouri, Kansas, Ner
braska, Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, Neva-
da, Oregon or California, we recommend
a cheap, safe, quick and direct route, via
st. Louis, over the Missouri Pacific
Railroad, which runs its Zine Day
Coaches and Pullman Sleepers from st
Louis to principal points in the West,
without change. We believe that the
Missouri Pacific Railroad has the best
track and the finest and safest equipment
of any line west of the Mississippi, and
its connections with roads further West
are prompt and reliable The Texas con-
nection of the road is now completed, and
passengers are offered frst>class all rail
route from st Louis to Texas either over
the Missouri, Kansas and Texas K X,
via Sedalia, or over the Atlantic and Pa

PUsHISG ALONG. 1t begins to look
like the citizens of Bolivar are waking up
to the Importance ofbuIIding more houses.
In addition to those now under contract,
we learn that during the present spring
and coming summer a large and com
lnodious hotel, two school houses and a
goodly number of private residences will
be built. Property is decidedly on the
increase in our town, and the indications
for large increase of population are of
the most flattering nature. Bolivar can
be made one of the liveliest places in all
West Tennessee, and there is no earthly
reason why each citizen should not put
his shoulder to the wheel and give the
car of improvement his full weight and
measure. Never put your light under q
| bushel, but branch OUT

Heretofore we have failed to make
mention of a serious loss sustained by
Mr.. David Woods, who lives about two
niles from Hickory Valley, in this coun-
~. On the 9Th of last month number
of children were playing about his gin
house, some of whom, in their frolic and
fun, and not dreaming of the danger
there is in handling powder in any shape
whatever, began popping FIRE crackers
one of which set the cotton in the gin
house on fire. In an instant the whole
building was in flames, and 80 rapidly
did they spread that The ginner, Mr.. Ho-
gan, did not succeed in making his escape
before he was badly burned. Mr.. Woods
cotton press was also consumed, together
With about 1900 bushels Of cotton seed
IL required the utmost exertion on the
part of Mr. Woods forces to save his
barn, corn cribs and stablss HE loss
amounts to about $1,000 The ceed des-
troyed belonged to different parties But
little cotton was consumed. Fire crack
ers and torpedoes are we'll calculated to
do mischief at any time, and children
should not be allowed to handle them.
