WHAT 10 the matter with the Asso-
ciated Press agent at Washington?
Throughout tie present week the ma
tional capital has been the scene Of
riots by strikers, rivalling those Of
Pennsylvania, and yet we have not a
word Of it by u regular dispatches.
Is it because the rioters are mostly ne
groes? Monday they practically took
possession Of the streets, overawing the
police and driving every laborer they
met from his work. The following
special to the Chicago Times describes
what happened Wednesday:
The strike Of the street Iaborers still
continues. To-day some 500 men,
worked up by leaders who never did a
stroke Of manual labor in Their lives,
marched into the streets with clubs,
and endeayored to drive out Of the
street men who prcferled working at a
dollar a day to starving. This mob
was charged by the mounted police and
dispersed after a good many arrests.
THE supeTsedure Of Commissioner
Douglass In the Internal Revenue Office
was known to several newspaper CORES
pondents in Washington the night be-
fore, and was published in distant Jour
nails on Wednesday morning. while the
poor victim was not made aware of ii
till about noon, when Secretary Bris-
tow sent for him and told him: mn.
Douglass, l have something unpleasant
to communicate to youi the President
has rendered your Office to ex-senator
Pratt, who has accepted the same"
There is some mystery about this dis
missal, as rumors are aaoat that Doug
lass viii be given a judgeship in
Western Pennsylvania or a prospective
vacancy on the Court of Claims. But
1t is easy enough to understand how
odiOus he was to Bristow. The latter
urged the last Congress to increase the
revenues by taxing tea and coffee, but
Douglass got the a Of the committee
and had the tax increased on whisky
and tobacco instead. Bristow claims
that if his recommendations had been
acted on the Treasury would not be in
its present straitened condition.

4 city gentleman who had lust

A city gentleman who had Just
purchased a farm in the country,
wished TO buy some cattle with
which to stock it. He therefore
attended an auction where cows
were to be sold. Ole of them, a
remarkably fine animal, soon at
tracted bis attention, and he
bought her at fair price He
was examining his purchase, when
a farmer, who unfortunately ar
rived too late to Euy the cow him.
self as be intended, drove up, and
thus accosted him:
81 say. friend, did you bid off
that cow" ...
IL did" was the reply.
"Well, did you know that she
had no teeth in her upper jaw?'
"NO,' replied the gentleman,
Indignantly. is that SOP
You can see for yourself"
The gentleman examined the
mouth OF the COW, and finding no
upper teeth, Immediately went 10
t. the auctioneer aud requested
him to sell the COW again.
"What's the troubled" Asked
the auetiODeer. -.
"She hasn't any upper front
teeth" was the reply.
Very well" replied the auc-
tioneer, with smile, I'll put her
up once more"
He did so, and the shrewd
farmer who had given the inform
alton to the city gentleman bid
her of at the same price.

olina, at the same time assuring
his pursuers that he would not be
taken alive. The gallantry of
the action operated in his favor,
and the pursuit was abandoned
Constant pursuit had already
made him morose and quarrelsome,
and he began TO drink heavily
and resorted to the gambling table
for a support. One day in Sep.
tember, 1874, while seated at
breakfast he told his wife that
he had q premonition of death,
and felt that he should be killed
that day before sunset. He
called his son, William, to him,
q bright boy Of. fourteen, and
made him swear to kill the man
who should kill his father.
The Circuit Court of Pope
county being in session he at
tended it with a young man
named Howard, who was en-
gagged to his eldest daughter. =
AS soon as they reached the
village Hill began to drink and
exhibited an unusual DISPOSE
.tion to quarrel. He insulted
every one he met and finally
threatened to clean the Court
House; he dashed into the court
room, to the CONSERVATION of
Judge, jury and lawyers. =
Young Howard tried to restrain
him but glaring like IA tiger; he
turned upon the youth and felled
him to the floor, at the same time
drawing a pistol, he exclaimed:
"Kill me or I'll kill you'll" The
man in a moment of extreme
anguish, drew a knife and bu-
ried it deep into the bowels Of
Hill. He died shortly after.
Howard quit Arkansas, and
several years later9was heard of
in San Antonio, Texas, where
he Joined the confederate forces
under command of Coz. Long.
At the close Of the war he was
met by William Hill, who re-
membering the oath he had ta-
ken, shot the former and fed to
Europe. He joined the French
army and served through the
Franco-Prussian war, but was
subject to fits Of temporary in
sanity. Finally his case became
hopeless, and he was placed by
his friends in an asylum near
Glasgow, Scotland, where he
very recently died.

The Meeting Of Sherman
and Johnston.
indianapolis Sentinel.

An interesting account of the
meeting of General Sherman and
General Joe Johnston at the Rail
road Convention at st. Louis on
Tuesday, is given by Captain
John Kirk, of Madison, who, was
a delegate to the Convention
Kirk, who is a fne old Democrat
of the olden school, says that
when Sherman came Oh the stage,
there was great cheering, but
mostly from the Southern dele
gates, as Sherman's figure was
more familiar to the residents and
Western delegates, and his pres
ence did not attract very great at
tention from them. BIT the vo-
ciferous cheering of Sherman by
the Southern delegates awoke an
enthusiasm, and when, in a lew
minutes, General Joe Johnston,
of the Confederate army, who
was, as our readers know, com-
manding the Southern army op-
posing Sherman, came upon the
stage, the cheering was lnud aud
prolonged Captain Kirk says
that as Johnston stepped on the
stage opposite Sherman the latter
made a rush for him and they met
In the ceuter Of the stage, and,
rushing upon each other like old
friends. warmly, heartily and
strongly shook each other by the
hands, and Sherman, in his en-
thusiasm, almost picked Johnston
up aud set him in the chair imme-
diately beside him, where they
sat side by side during the session
of the Convention Then the
cheering was deaiening and long
continued; hats went up in the
air, kandkerchiefs were waved,
aud the almost frantic delegates
from the North and the South
grasped each others hands, en-
brac d each other, and there was
not dry eye in the honse The
oil Captain confessed to using his
handkerchief quite freely, and be
is hard one 10 melt. In answer
to the question whether be cheer

A Remarkable Story Of
Premonition OfDeath.
From the Hannibal Clipper.


Mr.. Stark, who resides a few
miles above Hannibal, was in the
city, this morning, for the purpose
of obtaining burial case for his
little boy, who died at 1920 this
morning, aged nine years, under
the following painful circumstan-
ces. 1t appears that on Wednes-
day last two little boys, one Of
whom was Mr.. Stark =, were in a
room at play, when, by some cause
unknown TO the family, a gun was
discharged, the load, consisting Of
tine shot, taxing effect in Mr.
Stark'S boys hir. IL is presumed
that they had taken down the
gun and were playing with r.
At any rate, an accident occurred
as above stated, aud the wound
was not considered fatal. But
The strangest part of the affair Was
the little sufferer premonition of
death. At 5 O'clock Yesterday
morning he raised his head aud in
a distinct tone of voice, exclaim-
ed: SAT twenty minutes past u
o'clock" But little heed was taxi
en- to this, the remark being at
tributed to the flighty condition
Of his mind. But at nine o'clock
in the evening the exclamation
was slowly and loudly repeated:
cat twenty minutes past twelve
o'clock!'' The family now began
to grow anxious As to the fate of
The little one, and were not slow
to believe the words uttered to be
prophetic. Accordingly, they
watched the clock closely after it,
had struck the hour of twelve,
and, as tue time wore on. the pa
tient grew continually more lee,
ble, until the hands indicated the
time to be twenty minutes past
II, when death ensued at the We
ry moment propheticalIy stated by
the child on the previous morn
ing, and the evening foll9wing.-I
If this was not premorition, it
certainly was very singular con
cidence. .

DEAD LEAVES.
A week ago-how beautiful!
To-day-how sere they liei
The glory OF the forest fled
Like splendor from the sky:
trample on the fallen leaves
That yesterday, like gems,
Flashed brightness on my wondering eyes
From countless dadems.
They answer to my needless feet
With crispness in their tone:
"Tread lightly for the beauty's sake
Thine eyes in US have known
We were but shadows. when we glowed
In crimson, of thy pride;
We still are shadows Of its fall,
And just before it gllde!'
Iwould the withered leaves were fair,
That might shun to tread
Their dying verdure IN the dust
With which my hopes fall dead:
For when, in crimson and in gold,
My ripcnad joys shall fame,
The brief, bright beauty Of the leaves
Is theirs-to sere the sam!
