The result was that Henderson Immediately lost

THE HORSE MARINES.
The retirement of Gen. Zci1in from the con-
mand of the Marine Corps, and the appoint
nandant, has created stir in socia! circles. One
result Of this change will be that the brilliant
staff officers, who for SO many years have been
leaders OF Washington society, will be ordered
to sea duty, Us the new Co1nmandant will ill
these favored places with pets Of his own. "Sea
orders " for several OF the old statf-oflccrs of
Gen. Zcilin arc now in preparation, and only
await the recovery of the new Conmandant
from temporary illness for their publication.
The gay officers Of the horse marines have
tendance upon the pleasures of their laayshps
Of Washington society. They ''lcad the Ger
man and carry off the "honors." But If one
staff is removed the new Commantlant will uu-
doubtedly secure another not less brilliant.

THE WHISKY RING.

The trial OF DR.. Rush and his partner, MI
Pahlman, Chicago distllers, terminated IN
the L. y. Court at Chicago on Friday OF last
week in verdict of guilty. These distlllers,
il will be remembered refused to squeal
and insisted on q trial The least penalty
that can be inflicted on them according to
law is one years Imprisonment and $4,000
fine each.
An indictment has been found against j.
d. Ward, late L. S. attorney at Chicago, the
charges being Of conspiring with Simon
Powell and jacob Rehm to defraud the Unit,
ed States. &c. No day for his trial has yet
been fixed
The trial OF Dan Mum, against whom in
dic,ments have been found both at Chicago
and 81. Louis, was 10 have begun at 81. Louis
this week.
Suuealag has broken out again in western
Missouri, where the first convictions Of the
whisky ring were had last fall. Bitlinger,
the late collector at St. Joseph, finding the
proof against HIM too strong to permit even a
hope of escape, has concluded TO tell what he
knows, to the dismay Of score or two as
deep IN the mire as himself.
But the greatest sensation IN the whisky
business for month is the squealing Of Al.
Smith, the chief clerk and cashier of the de
faulting John Harper. The theory hitherto
had been that Harper had wasted the money
for which he proved detaulter in Chicago
grain specuations, and on that theory Smith
had nothing to fear. But lately Bluford WI.
son got Smith indicted along with Wester-
man aud other dis,illers, and as this threat,
ened to get him into serious trouble, he con.
cluded to squeal, and did SO at Washington
ON the Both ult What his story was is not
known, but it has filled not only the Pskin
distillers with dismay, but number Of the
leading politicians about Springfield.

THE JITTIEs.

The success Of the jetty system of deepen.
ing the outlets of the Mississippi river inio
the gulf seems to be placed beyond doubt.
The latest reports indicate depth Of water
through the South Pass OF from l6 to 10 fee,
and there seems TO be no good reason to ap.
prehcnd that such depth cannot be perma-
nently maintained. The objection occasion
ally made, that though the jetties may deepen
the water Of the present outlets, they will
only drive the bar further out into the gulf
which will again have to be opened with
new jetties, appears not to be valid. The
Currents of the gulf are such, that when the
wash of the river reaches the edge of the pres
ent bar, II is seized and carried of laterally to
immense distances, SO that no extension out
ward OF the bar is taking place
The mouth of the Mississippi again open
with a reasonable assurance that it will re-
main So permanently, cannot fail to have an
important influence on the great question of
cheap transportation between the East and
West. From anywhere on the navigable wa
tiers of the Missouri or Mississippi river
above Alton to Buffalo by way of the axes
reach the lakes ten times the amount Of travel
by rail is necessary as to reach the rivers
River freigats have always been as low as
lake freights, SO that, as between putting
down freighis IN New Orleans or Buffalo
whatever the greater distance and cost by
rall may bc to the lakes than to the river
will be the difference in favor of the river
route. This is on the assumption that the
cost of transportation from New Orleans &c
New York, Boston or Liverpool is the same
as from Buffalo; but IN point of fact the cost
by ship from New Orleans to New York and
Boston is less than by rail or canal from
Buffalo; and TO Liverpool, Havrc or other
European ports the cost is less by 80 per
cent. The rivers are open two months
longer each year than the lakes, which is an.
other great advantage.
1t really does look as if, except from Wis

railroads come down very considerably in
their freights, there is destined 10 be mate

A srREATOR SENSATION.

over bit of scandal that came TO light, TO
the effect that j. G. Finlen, bookkeeper in ID.
Heenan & Co.'S, by promise of marriage
had seduced ore Mary A. Sharkey, clerk
in the same store, IN Sueator. Some time
last fall Finlen married another woman. de.
sertIng Mary, though well informed of her
condition. Some two months ago she was
induced 10 20 to Kansas City with man who
promised 70 marry her, but who there left
her, away from home without money or
friends, a plan which she believed 10 have
been FinlIrs 10 get rid OF her.
some kind people in Kansas City sent her
back To Streator where she demanded support
of Finlen, which was refused, and finally
went to his house and announced her inten.
ton of staying there till the child was born.
Finlen kicked her out, il is alleged, causing
her To fall. Shortly after that the child was
born dead which she claims was The result
of the injuries received at his hands. The
citizens held an indignation meeting and in.
formed him that lie must either leave town
IN 81 hours or raise 500 for the girl IN that

CONNECTICUT.

TIE "idal wave" which the republicans,
by proiuse expenditure Of money IN New
Hampshire, thought they had put IN motion
in their favor, met on Monday with decided
check in New Hampshire. The democrats
carried the state by nearly 5000 majority on
Governor, and gained three senators and II
representatives in the legislature, having a
large majority IN both branches. 1t IS true,
the democrats have smaller majority by
about 1910 than they hal last year, but the
'greenbackers" run separate ticket and took
off about 1900 votes, about all Of which came
from the democrats. If the republicans are
able to make no greater gains on las: years
elections than they made in Connecticut, they
will carry but seven states e1ifall, as that is
all they had left after last falls elections.

HOW IT GOT OUT.

There is less attention paid than there
ought to be TO the revelations made 10 the
Clymer committee by Gen. IIazen. As long
ago as 1872 Gen. Hazen testified before the
military committee at Washington that Gen.
Belknap was selling the post traderships on
the frontier. A Washington dispatch to the
New York Tribune alluded to this evidence
at the time, but Belknap went to the Presi'
dent and Indignantly denied it, and immedi-
ately ordered Gen. Hazen off to the frontier
of Texas, where he has been kept ever since.
Clymer, remembering the fact, wrote to lla-
zen in January, and in reply got the points
on which Marsh was summoned.
Thus it appears that at least Grant and the
republican leaders who composed the house
military committee knew all about this ras
cality four years ago. How can the party
leaders reconcile such o fact with their pro
fession of readiness always TO hun. out ras
cality and punish 1t when known TO exist
This they knew all about on the sworn state
ment of one of the most distinguished officers
Of the army. Yet the President himself
knowing the fact, allows Gen. Hazen to be
punished for lis temerity by Punishment &c
the wilds of Texas. But for the fortunate &C.
cldcnt of the present democratic majority in
congress all this rottonness, including the
,hieving of the whisky rings would have re
NAMED hidden, and the robbery would have
gone on unchecked until the incubus would
have become 50 fastened on the body polite
that the end could only have been political
strangulation and dissolution

W alklng.

Not a very large crowd was out 20 the walk
ing match between Mr.. Jas. Smith and Nine
Ellen Wickers at Turner Hall on last Wednes-
day evening. Some good walking was exhibit
ed, however. Mr.. Smith, walked 10 miles, with
the following score: $50, S:35, SlJ $40, TAG,
s:24, 7:40, OBS, 900, 6:l2 10 miles in mr., y M.
! II see. Nine Wickers lacked two rounds uf
the hall 10 finish her miles when Smith CON-
plvtel his 10 miles. This is considerably better
than the walking Of Geraghty, "the champion

in hr, Is m, &c, and only walked % times
around the hall while Smith walked 81.

miles with her and poured airy nothings into
her ear at furious rate which, to his satlslac-
ton, she seemed to relish intensely. He was
pleased at the signal success OF his converse
