Mrs. ReIkuan.

The Cincinaati correspondent of the
Chicago Tribune says: Mrs. Belknap is
probably better known in this city than
in any other place outside of Washing
ton. Much of her early married life was
passed here. She was a Tomlinson, of
Harrodsburgh, KY, and is sister of
DR.. Tomlinsen, of that place. The i'm
preston prevails that sister of hers
was Bellxnap's first wife. Her first hlls-
band was a Mr.. Bowers, commission
merchant of this city, who died of con-
sumption in Florida six or seven years
ago. Your correspondent knew her as
Mrs. Bowers before and after Bowers
death. She was living then Mt the Bur-
net House in this city in modest style.
She was always woman of magnifi-
cent presence, a tall, stately brunette,
with fine features, head and carriage,
splendid color, black, glossy hair, and
dark, flashing eyes-a woman to attract
admiration in any throng.
She was married TO Belknap in grand
style near Lexington, Ky. They
stopped in this city on their tour, and
were given reception by the Hon.
George H. Pendleton. Mrs. Bowers
had her wedding trousseau made by
Worth in Paris. A lady said to me to-
day: "Worth told me that one of her
costumes was the finest he had ever sent
to this country"

Welsh. Speaking Popul alton of America

At present there are Welsh settle
ments in as many as twenty States. In
regard to the number of Welsh in Amer
lea there is among themselves diversity
of opinion. Some put down the figure
as high as 300, 900. This may be cor
rect, if unmistakable defendants are in
cluded, but, from what 1 can learn, the
Welsh-speaking population of the coun-
try is far below that figure. The Rev.
r. ID. Thomas, in his most excellent vol
ume recently published, Hanes Cymry

Chinese Frugality.

A picture OF patience and economy
worthy of study was presented yesterday
on South G street by a Chinese wood
peddler and his donkey. Although the
back of the donkey was piled high with
wood, and although Johns" errand
abroad was to sell this wood as quickly
as possible, his Unborn frugality would
not allow him to lose an opportunity of
gathering in little something in the
way of clear gain. The prize that fell
in the way of John and his donkey was
nothing more nor less than large wilted
carrot, thrown into the street from one
of the markets. Which found it first,
Chinaman or donkey, we know not, but
when we saw them both seemed equally
interested in the treasure trove. John
stood patiently by holding the halter of
his donkey, while the latter leisurely
munched the carrot. For once the
donkey found pleasure in what was bust
ness with his master. 1t was good
illustration of Chinese character, that
little scene in the street. John might
miss a dozen chances to sell his load Of
wood, but he was bound to save that
carrot. 1t was bit of clear gain that
he could not find it in his soul to pass.
Had any one called him, we doubt if he
would have crossed the street to sell his
wood until his donkey had safely housed
that carrot Virginia city (NeU.) En-

Smuggling "a Corpse.

A Battle Creek correspondent OF the Detroit
Post writes
"A few days since drover from the East
bought car load of bran at Perrns Mill,
Whites Station, just east of this city, on the
Michigan Central Railroad. Friday the car was
partly loaded, and the next morning the work
men opened the door to complete the loading.
They observed that the bran had been disturbed
during the night, and that there was sort OF
mound of it in the center of the car. Digging
away the bran they discovered large box in
the bottom of the ear, which had been placed
there during the night Opening the box they
discovered inside coffin which had been COW
cred with tan and then wrapped with several
thicknesses of canvas. OF course the discov-
cry created decided sensation, and fearing
that some one had been foully dealt with the
Coroner and officials were notified. The dro-
YER then came forward and testified that the
body was that of George S. Edison, young
man from Mortified, VT, who died in this city
OF variooid, Feb. Is. and that he had taken
this method to get the body home to his mother.
1.-THE case of young Edison was sad one.
He was not yet 81 years of age, and was the
only child OF widowed mother. He came
West in company with friend for the purpose
Of buying stock, and sometime last January
was taken down in this city with the varioloid.
The Board of Health removed him to family
who had before cared for persons down with
the same disease, where everything was done
for his comfort. He was fast getting better
when he took cold and died. Two or three
days before his death his mother, hearing that
he was getting better, came here to take kim
home, but she was not permitted to see him
The day before his death his mother drove past
the house and was permitted to look at him
through the window. lie became overjoyed
at the sight OF his mother and the next morn
ing died. A lot was bought in Oak Hill Gene
terry, where his body was buried in the night.
Young Edison in twenty-four days would have
been Of age, and have inherited s25, 900. His
mother, too, was wealthy, and was determined
to have the body OF her son taken to Vermont,
whatever the cost"

Relieved of His Freight.

ADetroit paper relates the following about
o'clock yesterday morning an old gentleman
named Erastus II. Earle called at the shaving
establishment of Mrs. NJ. E. Willard, on Jeffer-
son avenue and after taking bath departed.
He lives at Big Rapids, and boarded the train
at the Detroit and Milwaukee depot, which left
at 1885, bound west. After riding nearly to
the Grand Trunk Junction, Mr. Earle put his
hand into his pocket to take out his ticket,
when he found that his ticket and pocket
book containing nearly 5000 were missing.
Instantly it flashed through his mind that he
had placed the missing articles in q stand
drawer while bathing. Just then the train
stopped at the Junction and man entering
the car asked IL Erastus II. Earle was in the
car, and upon receivieg reply in the affirma-
tive handed to him the following telegram
Better come back just found your pocket
book Mr.. Earle profted by the advice, and
coming hack on the train from Toledo was ex-
ceedingly rejoiced to have his property re.
turned to him."

Brains i'm Time Of Peril.

The Grand Theater of Vienna was
crowded. The Emperor Francis, with
several members OF his family, was in
the imperial box. The play, Schiller's
Robbers" had reached the third act,
when cry arose that the stage was on
fire. Emile Devrient signalled at once
to the proprietor, who lowered the cur
tain. The actor stepping in front of it
ere it wholly fell, in his clear, clarion
voice, said: "The Emperor has been
despoiled of an aigrette of diamonds.
No honest person will object to being
searched. You will pass out one by one
at each entrance, and be searched by the
police stationed at the several doors.
Any man attempting to go out of order
will be arrested" The crowd, deceived
by the GOODNESS and the charge, poured
out. AS each reached the door he was
simply told TO hurry on, and just as the
last rows of the upper gallery were filing
out the flames burst through the cur.
tain. But not life was lost, though in
less than one hour afterward the build
J ing was in ruins.-Grdphjc.

4 Justice Who MouIdHt.

Yesterday forenoon an honest-looking
man called into the office of a Justice OF
the Peace and wanted to know if he
could commence suit against a neighbor
for assault and battery. He was in
formed that he could, and he frightened
up and continued
Well, make out lawsuit right

THE CASE OF GEN. BELKNAP.
The excitement into which this com
munity was suddenly and most un,
expectedly thrown, on yesterday,
by the revelations of the Off
cial misconduct of Secretary OF
War Belknap has not been equaled
since the day after the battle of Bull
Run. The feeling on the terrible muir,
der OF President Lincoln was, of course,
more nearly universal and was mex
pressibiy agonizing. But in that case
there was the knowledge that the Presi
dent had fallen by the crime of a stran
ger. In the case of Gen. Belknap the
fall, SO far as is known, was by his OWL
act and as those who had known him
Longest and best had the most unbound
ed confidence in his integrity, intelli
gence of his wrong conduct was at first
received with absolute incredulity. Their
all sorts of distortions of the truth began
to be whispered about, and it was late il
the day before the general fact was cor
rectly understood by the public at large
Then men began to stare at each Other
in blank amazemant, and were lost in as
constituent and surprise. Every one
looked upon it as terrible calamity.
The community was stirred as the earth
is stirred by great earthquake.
The crime of selling the offices in one S
patronage need not be characterized by
me. This is the offense of which Bel
KNAPP stands, according to all reports,
confessedly guilty. That one who spent
years in the military service of his coun-
try with great honor to himself, who has
long been surrounded by troops of
friends, who might well have hoped for
continued honors, should thus fall by
the way is to me almost inexplicable. i
hardly know how to account for
it, and 1 will not in these mo-
ments of great feeling undertake to do
so. Permit me to say, however, that
there must have been some unusually
powerful temptation, either of a general
or personal nature, which could have
caused this long honest man, gallant
soldier and the son of gallant soldier,
to have DETECTED from the line of honor
1t may be that there is some explanation
which will leave him in a position more
favorable to his reputation than at this
time seems likely. If it shall so turn
out it will be gratifying to me, as 1 know
it will to I'll honorable men. Every per-
son of right feeling must be panied at
the fall of a man in eminent place. If
such new light shall appear, will be
immeasurably happy in placing it before
my readers. l.. Nj. n.

The Wicked Flee.

Mrs. Newmeyer has been addicted to
sleep-walking and restlessness during
the night. SO much has this habit of
sleep walking increased upon her that
one or the other of the daughters has
been obliged to keep constant watch lest
something might befall their mother
A popularity about this somnam bulist
has been desire TO visit the parlor of
the house and take a seat in the chair
directly opposite the one usually occu-
pied by her husband in life. The daugh-
ters have frequently found the lady
seated in her chair, fast asleep, with a
lamp burning upon the parlor table.
Recently the youngest of the girls was
awakened by hearing loud crash in the
parlor, and noise as of some person
running from the yard. On going to the
parlor they found their mother seated,
as usual, fast asleep in her chair, the
lamp burning upon the table, and the
window wide open. A closer ex-
animation disclosed mans hat, sew.
eral burglars tools, and from the ap-
pearance of the sideboard and bureau it
was evident that thieves must have been
ut work when the sleep-walker glided
into the room.
There must have been quite a STAN
pc de when the pale apparition noiselessly
moved into the room, for the thieves did
not stop to pick up their tools or their
booty. They evidently supposed the
apparition something supernatural, and
left their nights worF for others to
finish. Mrs. Newmeyer was escorted to
her room without trouble, and feels very
nervous lest she might again fall into
danger.

their night-clothes and wanted to know
what the matter was. But En- only
yelled the louder, and kept pointing
under the sofa till dad got down on his

out by my hind leg. When he got me
out to the wood-shed he wrapped ME
over his knee and went at me with an
old trunk strap, and I've not got over it
