SO much canvass, and tossed about as if
about to strike tor vacation, whenever
the wind pierced them. The occupant
of these clothes, alter block of SOW
walking, sat down on beer keg in front
of a saloon and began to take census
of the people who passed him. Pretty
soon a Dispatch reporter happened
along, and attracted by the queer ap-
pearance of the man, struck up the fol-
lowing conVersa tion:

This morning an innocent looking
young man entered the Police Court
while in session, and accosting Seen y
Hiram Taylor, the obliging and gentle
manly court officer on duty near the
prisoners bench, timidly said, "Mister,

Then casting his eye around the room
he said: "Please tell me, mister, il
This is the Miami NJ edical College,"
"Well, not exactly" said Taylor.
"They sometimes dissect people here,

"What is this place, then~

heretofore been the best of friends En-

out of His Cabinet.

WASHINGTON. July IA few days
ago Postmaster General Jewell being asked
about the report that he intended to re-
sign, laughingly replied that so far from
resigning he expected to remain in his
place until the end Of the present admin
istration. Yesterday noon, however, after
calling at the executive mansion to tran
sact some business with the president, the
latter, much to the surprise of the post
master general, informed him that his res
ignation would be accepted. Mr.. jewell
Immediately wrote letter accordingly.
The most intimate friends of Gov.
Jewell are unable to account for the action
of the president,
Mr.. Marshall, first assistant post master
general, who was in the country. was tele-
graphed last night to return Immediately
and arrived this morning, when Jewell,
much to his astonishment, informed him
of what had taken place. Marshall is now
acting as post master general.

New YORK, July ll.-Deaths yester-

years, except July 2nd, 1872, when 6S

with one or two exceptions, terminated
fatally. Up to 3 p. NJ. yesterday the
health board had issued 222 burial
permits-an unusually large number for
one day, while the proportion of infants
who died was alarmingly on the increase.

INDIANAPOLIS, July 9.-ln response to
a serenade, after the ratification meeting
on Saturday right Gov Hendricks made
brief address, closing in the following
language: Il would not say word
against Gov. Hayes. | would speak of
him as well as his most partial friend, but
his election is but continuance in power
of the men who have controlled the poll
cies and the appointments of Grants ad
miDistration. If elected can he disregard
Gov Morton's power in Indiana, Cameron
sway in Pennsylvania, or Conkling's lord
ship in New York They say he is an
honest man. Was not the same said of
Cen Grant four years ago? In a speech
which | made in the Academy of Music
the first in my canvass for governor, said
that if left alone Grant would make bet
ter president, but the surroundings, the
influences, and the political power thai
would control his administration would
bring upon the people the ills which VIZ
now deplore. / have been informed tha
