New YORK, Sept. 10-A special to the Times

and the other an ex-cOnfederate soldier, have
arrived at New Orleans from Conshatta, hav-
ing been warned away from their homes by the
white leagues on account of their support of the
general government. They confirm the pre-
vious reports of the murders of officials and ne
groes, and say that the swamps around Con-
shatta stink with the corpses of slaughtered
negroes.
The Trenton Murder.
MEMPHIS, Sept. 1O-Douglas Jamison, one
of the negroes taken from Jail in Trenton by a
mob, is here in Jail in charge Of the United
States Marshal, who refuses to allow him to
communicate anything.
Lieut.. Whitehall. with a squad of soldiers
from the barracks here, proceeded 10 Pockets
vile last night under instructions from Deputy
u. S. Marshal Torbitt, and arrested five men
for completely in the Trenton affair. Two of
the parties for whom warrants had been issued
came in to-day and gave themselves up, making
Memphis under guard. Tonight efforts were
made to take some OF the parties under writ
of habeas corpus, but the judge claimed no ju
risdiction.
The grand jury is now in session at Trent ton,
and from the number of persons summoned
before them it is presumed they are dertermin-
ed to ferret out the parties.
Ten of the negroes taKen from the Jail are
said to have escaped 1t is thought here that
the men arrested are innocent.

Mr.. Smith Smelt a Mice.

A very small, yet very interesting,
domestic event occurred on yesterday
in the saloon of Mr.. Fred. Smith. Mr..
Smith, in common with other persons
who cater to the popular appetite Tor
stimulants, keeps money-drawerand
ar-tender. Into this drawer he puts,
in the course of day, many bills OF
various denominations, and good deal
of fractional currency. 1t is the bust
ness of the bartender to keep a sharp
lookout upon this drawer. Bar-tenders
generally do. They look after 1t so
sharply sometimes that the poor proprie-
tor feels compelled to quit business.
Mr.. Smith is an honest man himself,
and he grieves to suspect anyone.
When, therefore, he began to discover,
about a week ago, that many bills were
being distracted from the till, he pined
in secret, 10th to believe that the open
faced young gentleman who tended
bar" for him was anything worse than
he appeared to be. The bartender, for
his part, knew that the money was GO
ing off in a mysterious way, and he felt
equally uncomfortable.
But on yesterday the mystery was ex-
planned. During one of those intervals
when the bar is comparatively deserted,
the young man heard still, small voice
which seemed to issue from beneath the
marble-top. and from behind the money
drawer. He pried it off, and discovered
in q quiet nook mouse's nest, with
young ones in it. The nest had pic
turesque look at first The material OF
which it was composed looked like dried
grass, or fine-cut tobacco, or some kind
of substance such as one would use to
stuff beds with. 1t was very cut, in
deed very stringy. A closer inspec-
ton revealed the curious fact that the
nest was made of five and ten dollar
bills, mixed with scraps of common yell
low paper, quarters and ten-cent pieces.
1t appears that Mrs. Mouse had been
in the habit of drawing on the treasury
for material wherewith to make her lit
tie home comfortable, and it was all the
same to her whether it happened to be
fractional currency or bonds.
The little household was speedily
broken up, and two cigar boxes were
filled with the ruins. Mr.. Smith had
the satisfaction OF discovering that
about $50 had been employed in the
construction of the luxurious nest.
Fragments of bills could be picked out
of the debris large enough TO contain
Just enough of figure to tell that it was
the remains of "ten" or /" five.
There was no hope Of doing anything in
the way of redemption. The thief had
escaped and the sin of the parent was
visited upon the heads of the unhappy
offspring. Chicago Times.

Avoiding a Middleman.

A lodge of our grange friends in
Clayton county had need of barrel of
good whisky for domestic and medicinal
purposes, and were rightfully determin-
ed to avoid the monopoly prices of
middlemen in purchasing. So COM
mittee was delegated to come to Du-
buque and purchase it of one of our
wholesale houses, which they did on
reasonable terms, and took it home on
the cars. On the day of its arrival the
members of the grange repaired with
their stone jugs to the house OF the head
Granger, where the barrel was stored,
and the liquor was distributed among
them, each paying for his share at the
wholesale rate at which it was purchas-
ed. This was we'll enough as far as it
went, bat the next day Collector of
Internal Revenue, who had been scent
ing the flavor of the good spirits from
afar, bounced upon the head Granger
for retailing whisky without a license,
and threatened to place him under ar
rest unless he complied with the re-
quirements of the Internal Revenue law
in this regard. and he was compelled to
pay 500 or $50 to get rid of the gentle
man and his unpleasant exposition OF
what Uncle Sam provides. Dubuque

Remedy for Diphtheria.

A remedy for diphtheria has been
brought promin ntly before the public
In Victoria, Australia, by Mr.. r.. Great
head. In the first instance Mr.. Great
head offered to communicate to the Gov
eminent a sovereign remedy for diph-
liberia III consideration of reward of
60, 900. The matter was referred to the
chief medical officer, DIR. McCree, but
there were manifest difficulties in the
way of testing Mr.. Greathead's method.
and the Government, of course, de-
clined to enter into the speculation
which he had invited. Thereupon Mr..
Greathead made public his remedy,
which consists simply of the admins
tration of four drops of pure sulphuric
acid i'll tunbler of water. Cases
have since been reported in which the
supposed specific is alleged TO have
operated successfully. but the cures
have not been authenticated by medical
men, and the value of the remedy is
still matter Of doubt among laymen.

The Temperance Movement.

The temperance crusade is no long
er the sensation of the day III the news
papers, but it continues to appear a
matter of absorbing Importance to the
women engaged in it, and of practical
interest to the men whose business it
so materially affects. There is no evil
dence thatthe women are weary in their
well doing. The number of saloons
closed has increased from day to day
until it now exceeds thousand, and we
look in vain for an instance in which
the women after fairly beginning battle
have fled the field. Their faith is of
the kind that is said to remove noun
tains. 1t hesitates not to attack the
enemy whether he be strongly in
trenched in 5000 grog shops as in Gin
cinnati, or supported by an angry rab-
bic as in Cleveland. An array of SUI
perior numbers IN opposition serves only
to call for more thorough organization
and greater perseverance on the part of
the crusaders Persecution arouses the
spirit of martyrdom and elicits sympa
thy for the prosecuted from unexpected
quarters. 4 single victory encourages
a praying band to weeks of more earn
est and devoted prayer and labor. But
Il speedy victory does not seem neces-
sary to keep the fire of faith aglow.
Weeks may pass without a surrender,
yet the women keep on with patience
which enlists the sympathy of the most
careless spectator and assures the ha-
raised liquor-dealcr that, though the day
of his capitulation may be distant, it
must inevitably come.-Nct0 York Trib-

4 Baggage Smasher AstOnished.

Among the baggage that arrived here
yesterday from the East on the Burling-
ton train was a well-worn trunk, small
but very heavy. AS the baggage was
being transferred to the transfer train.
one of the strong-armed baggage-smash-
ers in the employ of the transfer
company came across this trunk.
Baggage sometimes goes great ways
with these railroad men. As the hero
of this tale grasped the well-worn trunk,
he found it unusually heavy. BY a
superhuman effort, he raised and sent
it bouncing toward the rear end of the
car. When the trunk struck the floor
of the car, there came burst of
thunder sound; the baggage-man, Oh !
where was he ?"
There was quantity of powder, per-
cussion caps and number of fat-irons
in the trunk, and that combination of
articles caused the explosion. The
trunk belonged to poor woman, a
washwoman by occupation, who was on
her way to California.
The baggageman was scorched about
the face by the fash of the powder, and
was thumped about the body by the fiat
irons that for second or two filled the
omaha Repu6iicdn.
