The New York Sun says: The coun-
sci for Joseph Loader, ten days ago,
asked Judge Moore to choose a COM
missioner to take the testimony of
Mr. and Mrs. Joseph. Richards as to
the adultery of Mr.. Bescher and Mrs.
Tilton; but no action has thus far been
taken. Judge Moore. said yesterday
that be would probably make the APP
pointment early next week. The delay
gives rise to the opinion that the Dis
triet Attorney will enter a nolle prose-
qui in the case. Mr.. Merean said that
the action would not surprise him. He
believed that the prosecution did not
want the commission to 60 forth, and
if nolle was not entered he
thought the District Attorney would
be likely to offer stipulation not to
call Mrs. Tilton to testify. which, if
accepted, would render a commission
useless. Price, the confessed perjursr,
has been sent to the debtors prison..

much in the period mentioned as it

A STAMPEDE.-Last evening. during
the rain STORM which prevailed Mt that
time. $50 head Of cattle which were
corrsled at the railroad yards, where
they were being loaded on the cars,
broke down the fence aud stampeded.
They ran ike deer through the sage
brush. and the night being dark it was
impossible to head them off or stop
them. This interfcred with shipping
arrangements, and only six cars were
shipped last night in place of twenty
one. The yards are enclosed with q
substantial plank and post fence, some
eight feet high, which it seemed i'm
possible for cattle to break down.

The Vineland Case.

Mr.. Carruth, the editor who was shot,
and his family have returned to Vine
land, N. j. Carruth, says correspon-
dent, has become very corpulent and
looks remarkably well. His sight is very
much impaired, and he has to move his
head to cover the width of q newspaper
column. He thinks the ball is lodged
behind his right eye, and if it should
trouble him seriously in that region he
intends to have the eye taken out, SO
that the ball may be sought through the
socket. He can walk or ride without
much Inconvenience, but exertion is in
variably followed by loss of strength.
In addition to the thirteen acres of land
which he owns in Vineland, and which
is free from incumbrance, he owns
property in Wisconsin. He is deter
mined to spend the remainder of his
life in his Vineland home. If his in
come be exhausted before his death, he
says he will go to the poorhouse of
Cumberland county. He has no. made
a complaint against Landis, as he sayshe
supposes the people will do what is right
about it. His recollection of the Incl
dents attending the shooting are very
much confused. The report that nego-
tiations were progressing between him
and Lands on the question of damages
is unfounded. Neither party has as yet
made any advances to the other on the
subiect

Loud Manners toward Ladies.

Recent events, says writer, have
called public attention to the intimate
relation of morals and manners. It may
be said that there is no greater peril to
morality than much that is called merely
free and easy manners. Young men, and
even young women, permit themselves q
freedom and license of manner which,
having all the aspect of impropriety,
may very readily acquire its substance.
Edward addresses Emily with loud and
jesting intimacy of tone and conduct,
which might be expected in the sailor
saloons, but which is repulsive and odi-
GUS i'll the drawing-room or among re-
fined or gentle persons. Edward and
Emily would be amazed to be told that
they have not the manners of q gentle
man or Of lady. They think that they
above all others know what is the rule
of high society. But they are merely
vulgar, and have the manners of those
who are worse than merely vulgar.
Coarseness cannot be gildeG into refine
ment. The young woman who habitual-
ly calls her young friends of the other
sex by their Christian names, or who
suffers anything that can be called ia
miliarity, although it fall short of actual
indecorum, should reflect carefully.
"Sir,' said lady to policeman who
took her elbow to pass her over the
street, eff 1 wish you to touch me I
will ask YOU" No woman of high
sense of personal dignity wishes any
man to lay his hand upon her thought
lessly or unnecessarily. Nor will such
woman permit any kind Of rudeness in
the tone or manner of men.

Eccentric Will.Makers.

An eccentric old gentleman of his ac-
qualntance called upon him one day and
asked him to draw up q will for him.
Certainly" said my father "explain
to me how you wish to dispose of your
property and / will make note of your
wishes and put them into regular form. F"
80 the old gentleman began "I wish
to give hundred thousand dollars to
my old friend Alexander Tomkins. Poor
man, he is not very well off in worldly
fortune, but he is an excellent person
and think this sum would make him
comfortable for life. Please note that
down. Then another hundred thousand

and Jones has left her poor. Then there
is young Maulstick. He is showing q

poor, pretty girl-the old story. Put
him down at S50,000. And put down
$50, 900 to the hospital of decayed gentle
women. 1t is an excellent institution" ("
My father paused, and looking up, said,

sitions of your property that you are SO
rich. had no idea that you possessed
such a fortune" "Fortune 2" said the

said my father why, you have already
disposed to strangers of $500, 900, and as
suppose you mean to leave your family
at least an equal amount, I should scarce
ly call you poor man." "Bless your
soul," said the old gentleman, "my
whole possessions would not amount to
one-tenth of the sums I have named, but
! put them down in my will to show
| what l would do if I had fortune. I
wish to show my good will to oil those
friends" Bolton That is precisely my
case. Excellent old man I wish had
known him. Do you know it reminds
me of the will of one of the greatest men
of America, who died not many years
ago2 He had, as he said, lived like a
gentleman all his life-meaning, of
course, that he had spent all he could
get, and considerably more, and was
head over ears in debt but, like this
old gentleman of whom you spoke, he
made will disposing of large sums just
rs if he had them, and leaving his real
estate, which WAS mortgaged to the full
value, to his heirs, remarking coolly that
"means would be found to carry his in
tentions into effect" Mallett Az, I
remember the fact very we'll, and / re-
member also that means were found, and
that large sum was raised by public
subscription to pay off his debts and
carry his Intentions into effect. I won
