the II. IL. peace Negotiations.

A meeting OF the BALTIC. & Ohio Directors was
held at Baltimore, Yesterday. The american,
says -" there is nothing positively new in relation
to the negotiations for the close of the pending
railroad war, though the conviction that the
agreement proposed at the conference in New
York will be ratified by the Directors of the Bal
timore and Ohio and OF the Pennsylvania Roads
at the respective meetings to be held tomorrow
has deepened into an assured certainty. The
agents OF both Companies in this city continue
to sell tickets and accept freights at the rates
that have ruled during the continuance OF the
contest.

Frost Blights.

Dispatches from various sections of the coun-
try report very heavy frosts during the past few
nights. In the lower portions OF New Jersey the
frost was 30 heavy that it could be scooped up
in the hand and fruit and vegetables have been
materially injured In New York. Pennsylvania,
Massachusetts, Maine and New Hampshire the
growing crops have been damaged, but to what
extent is not ascertained. Heavy cold rains
are reported from California, entailing great
damage to cut and standing grain, but pleasant
weather now prevails

It is generally agreed that the railroad war
Is ended, and that we shall soon return to anti
bellum times. To-day the Boards OF Directors
Of both the Baltimore & Ohio and the Pennsyl-
vania Railroads meet to decide upon the com
promise which will be submitted to them, but
which has not yet been given to the public. 1t
Is understood, however, that things will as
snme very much the same condition as before
the outbreak of tho slaughter, and that the
great rivals will STRIKE friendly hands across
the chssm OF sacrifice which has been made.
Both sides are said to have suffered terribly
frsm the underwriting process, but then, of
course this is only temporary outlay.

From the Boston Evening Transcript
Star-gazing is in order now. At s
p m, in the south, little to the west
and at an elevation of about forty
degrees, may be seen the constellation
OF Orion, easily recognized by the four
very brilliant stars in the form Of long
quadrangle intersected by three lesser
stars, arranged at equal distances and
in straight line, parallel with the
horizon, pointing OIL the one side to
Sirius--the brightest fixed star in the
heavens--and on the other to the
Pleiades, thirty degrees to the west
Between the Pleiades and the bands Of
0rion" is an upright letter V, known as
the V Of Taurus, consisting Of one very
bright star at the left upper end, in the
eye of Taurus, and FIVE lesser stars. In
the north, little west and Just above
the mist of the horizon is Cassiopea
chair in an upright position, consisting
Of five stars Of the third magnitude and
one or two smaller ones, Almost directly
overhead, but still slightly South, is the
sickle Of Leo, complete in outline, with
the curve of the blade toward the north.
east, and Regulus, star of the first
magnitude, in the extremity of the
handle. But the brightest object in the
armament these evenings is the planet
Jupiter, which becomes clearly visible
in the East shortly after 8 o'clock, and
those who rise as early as haifpast four
in the morning may see Venus in nearly
the same position.

SAMPLE OF SECRET SERVICE.
A Released EmbpzzIer Arrested al

A ReIeased EmbpzzIer Arrested as
aCOunterfeiter.
New York correspondence St. Louis Globe.
The arrest the other day of General
VIM. G. Manck, late secret service
detective and at present an attache OF
the custom-house, for selling counter
teit money is new scandal that has
had many parallels in the division.
Manck was a gallant solderin Lew Wal
lace's Indiana regiment and was after
ward a Brigadier in the Veteran Reserve
Corps. He is a protege of Senator
Morton, and bore good reputation
until he entered the New Orleans post.
Office in 1866. There year later saw
him tried for q heavy embezzlement of
Government funds. He escaped con.
viction on some legal technicality, and
left New Orleans. His political 10.
fuence in Washington, however, seems
to have been as strong as ever, for few
months later he was appointed secret
service officer under Whitley. Prob
ably the fact that he had swindIed the
Government was proof of his fitness
for the office, on the principle that you
must set thief to catch thief. At
all events, Manek got the appointment;
hut when the safe burglary scandal at
Washington necessitated the dismissal
Of Colonel Whitley and others Of the
ring, Manek went, TOO. He next turns
up through the influence he possesses as
custom.house officer, in this city.
Suspecting that he was "crossman,
the secret service men laid trap for him,
and to one of them last week he sold
$1,000 in counterfeit scrip. He is in Jail,
awaiting an examination on Thursday
next. This case is not an isolated one
showing the corruption existing in the
Secret Service Division and the custom
house. Under Whitely's regime, | had
personal acquaintance with many of
the officials of the Division, and, with
one or two exceptions, they were char
acterless scamps who would commit per.
jury or steal to advence their own per.
sonal ends. A number Of cases came
to my knowledge where these villains
put up jobs on innocent parties, by
depostug counterfeit money in their
pockets or seme similar trick, and then
arresting them, gave the city journals
graphic descriphors of the astuteness of
Colonel Whitley and his officers in break.

Whitley officers made single counter.
felt plate do duty five times in one year
to arrest and break up gangs of supposed
counterieiters Every time this plate
was captured and every time a new gang
was captured this plate would be found.
1t was very easy for Secret Service de.
tective to secure the plate from WhiteIy's
hands, plant" it in a shop, and then
make descent and arrest the inmates.
Thus Whitley and his cbaracteress
scamps made their regulations as eff.
ceat officers, and it is even asserted
that in some cases they have had plates
and dies made to order to enable them
to deceive the Secretary Of the Treasury
as to the magnitude of their labors in
suppressing frauds upon the revenue. 1t
is barely possible that Manck is victim
of Secret Service conspiracy, after all.

A sailors Antics.

A sailor named Spicer has lately been
performing such marvellous exploits at
lofty heights on the masts of vessel
in the Vallejo (Cal) harbor that crowds
of spectators have been attracted to the
wharfs. The other afternoon, as the yes
sci was leaving port, an unusual number
of persons assembled, and he exhibited
some Of his feats for their benefit. A
local journal says; while the ship
was in notion which rendered the un-
dertalSing much more hazardous, he as
cended the foremast to the truck, where
there was an upright wire about 10 inches
in length He bent this down, and was
soon standing upon the truck, swaying
back and forth with the motion of the
vessel. He then took his hat off and
hung it upon the wire, and while stand
ing upon that giddy pinnacle, he doffed
both his shirts and hung them also upon
the wire. la this cool and airy position
he bowed in the four points of the com
pass, and then quietly putting on bis
shirts and hat again, he came down the
rigging on the run, amid the lound cheers
of his companions. Although large
number of seafaring men have visited
this port from time to time, Spicer is a
little ahead of them when there is any
thing daring to be DONE"
