Silver Passing Safe Through the Pitts.
burgh Riot.

Among the cars which were destroyed
during the prevalence Of the riot were
ten or twelve which contained freight
shipped by the Pennsylvania Lead Com
pany Of Mansfield It was generally
supposed that all these cars contained
pigs of lead, and, in the surfeit of other
more valuable and more easily transport
ed goods, no one thought of loading
himself with this heavy metal. After
the fire, it was discovered that three of
the cars contained pure silver, which
had been smelted at the Mansfield estab-
lishment, and which was on its way to
the Philadelphia mint. The silver was
in the form of pigs, little smaller than
pigs of lead, and, like the lead, it has
melted and run down between the ties
and in the cutters. Of course there was
no effort on the part of the company to
dissipate the impression that the cars
contained nothing but lead, and as the
metals look much alike there were no at
tempts to steal any of the more precious
substance. The value of the silver that
was in the cars is not definitely known,
but the amount was several thousand
dollars. - Pittsburgh Telegraph

Soaring Away the Eclipse.

Soon after my arrival at Bagdad, on
the evening of the first day in May, as
we were dining on the terrace, we were
startled by a most terrific din. We
then noticed that there was nearly total
eclipse of the moon, and upon consulting
an English almanac we found that it
would be "invisible at Greenwich, but
a total eclipse in Australia and some
parts Of Asia.p The tumult increased,
and soon the whole population seemed
to have assembled on the house-tops,
armed with pots, pans and kitchen uten-
sils, which they beat with a tremendous
chatter, at the same time screaming and
bowling at the top of their voices. FREE
quent reports of guns and pistols added
to the turmoil, which was kept up for
nearly an hour, until they had succeeded
in frightening away the jim, or evil
spirit, who had caught hold of the
moon. It was a most amusing scene,
although it interfered seriously with the
success of our dinner. Our own SER

A Temneranee sermon

Eleven years ago four young men in
this city, all promising young business
men, formed club for the purpose of
passing their evenings in conYiviality.
They had their hot suppers, with cham
payne and brandy accomplishments
nightly, and as the years passed their
drinking habits increased SO fast that the
usual evening spree was very often ex-
tended into weeks Of debauchery. Since
the organization Of the club two of its
members have committed suicide in this
city by cutting their own throats, one
died of deliriun tremens in Chicago, and
the remaining one Of the quartet put on
the red ribbon about three weeks ago.

A Lesson Taught by Experience.

Among the many valuable lessons taught by
experience there is not one Of greater moment
to the invalid portion of the community than
the following, viz: That Alternative treatment
is only permanently successful when aided by
inauguration. When the functions of the body
are disordered, the use of genial tonic with
which corrective properties are combined is the
speediest means OF regulating them. Such a
tonic is Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, the most
popular as 1t is the best article of its class For
more than twenty five years it has been used
with signal success as . remedy for. and pre-
ventive of malarial fevers, as a means of i'm
parting strength to the debihtated, and as 3
curative of dyspepsia, biliousness, constipation.
kidney troubles, and uterine weakness. Not
only have multitudes of those whom it has
cured borne testimony in its behalf, but it has
been repeatedly commended by the medical
profession and the press.

Was This Donaldson /?

A Michigan trapper furnishes what
may be clew to the mysterious fate Of
Donaldson, the gymnast and aeronaut.
He writes to the Chicago Inter Ocean
that while he was looking for trapping
grounds on the south branch of the Big
Manistee river, soon after Donaldson dis
appeared, he found piece of white ash
about five feet long with five canvas
ropes, and five feet Of line, and "some
other kind of goods made fast to that. "
Not fer off was ga corpse lying face
down, no coat or boots on. Near by
there was an envelope pest-marked {" De-
troit, Mich. and addressed to some one
in Chicago, and there were pencil figures
upon it showing the direction of the
wind. The trapper supposed at the time
that the man had been murdered by the
Indians.

Death of spendthrift and Debauchee.


Samuel Med Donald; whose death lately
occurred at Terre Haute. Ind. was con-
nected with the first families of Balti-
more. His father was the renowned
Baltimore millionaire, William Melon
aid, who, during his life, was the owner
of the celebrated trotting-horse Flora
Temple. Samuel Mcdonald was born
in Baltimore, March 8, 1849. He at
tended several prominent schools here,
and was also sent abroad to be educated.
He, however, never fancied intellectual
culture, but became trained gymnast
a good boxer, and an adept in all attn
letic sports. Upon the death of his
father be inherited a fortune estimated at
$500,000 and at once commenced lead
ing a profigate and reckless life. Upon
reaching his majority he gave birthday
party at Guilford, the country residence
of the Mcdonald family, now the coun-
try seat of a. S. Bell. This was attended
by many leading citizens of Baltimore,
and was noticeable for the reckless ex-
travagance which prevailed. Among
other things was fountain from which
flowed continuous stream of cham
payne. At this time he had open to him
the best society in the city, and his Ca
reer seemed promising one. But he
developed taste for companions of a
vicious nature, and, despite the counsel
and admonitions of friends, launched
forth into life OF unheard-of prohigacy
and dissipation. Many unavailing efforts
were made to reclaim him. In 1871 he
purchased hunting lodge at Terre
Haute, where his orgies were carried on
to such an extent as to attract the atten-
ton of the illustrated papers, which pub
hshed portraits of him and engravings
purporting to represent the scenes of his
bacchanalian reyelries, which were OF a
most disgusting and indecent character.
Since taking up his residence in Terre
Haute, he has made one or two visits to
Baltimore, which have ended invariably
ia debauchery. During one of these
visits, June %, 1874, Berry Amos was
brutally and fatally stabbed in the bar
room of the Sherwood House, in this
city, while in company with Mcdonald
and others Before his demise he &C
cused Mcdonald of the deed. Tie lat
ter was arrested, and, upon his trial, was
defended by United States Senator
Whigle, who was his guardian. By an
adroit defense Mcdonald was acquitted,
although universally believed to be
guilty. - Baltimore San.

A Sad Romance.

A private wedding, a few weeks hon
eymoon, the sudden death of the fair
and blooming bride, and the tragic
death. by his own hand. two weeks later,
of the husband, are the elements of
romantic sensation in social circles here
and in Washington. The union Of
Frank A. Thornton, bachelor of As,
and Miss Annie Edith Ford, eldest
daughter of John I. Ford, the we'll
known theatrical manager, took place in
June. They met at Virginia spring,
and, during a slight attack of illness with
which she was afflicted, he was unremit-
ting in his attentions, and, although
man who had hitherto held aloof from
society, in the highest circles of which
his social standing and wealth readily
admitted him, he fell desperately in
love. Miss Ford was the possessor Of
youth, beauty, and literary accomplish
ments, the author OF several plays,
which, with others she adapted from the
French, had been successfully produced.
She was also ministering angel to the
poor. To persons of SO widely dissimi-
lar tastes happy union was not looked
for, and the suit was not encouraged by
either family The wedding, conse-
quently, was private one, and they re-
moved at once to Mr. Thornton's resi-
dence, in Prince Georges county, near
Washington. Two weeks ago the unex-
pected news of the fair brides startling
ly sudden death FRUSTRATED Mr.. Ford
and his family. Her funeral was one Of
the most imposing ever witnessed in this
city, the presence of hundreds of the
poor being a distinguishing feature.
Mr.. Thornton returned to his home, and
has since brooded over the death of his
young and beautiful wife. Yesterday
forenoon he drove into Washington, and
returned with a friend, whom he had in
vited to dine with hinn. During the
drive he acted strangely, and at one time
got up on the coachman's box and said
to the driver, eff / commit suicide, will
you take charge of my body?" The
coachman supposed he was testing, and
answered eyes" Upon reaching the
house he escorted his friend to the room
in which his wife had died, and con-
tinued to speak of her in terms of the
sincerest affection. Efforts were made
to divert his mind from the subject, but
without success, and his friend with
drew from the room. Mr.. Thornton
waited until the hour his bride breathed
her last, and then drank an ounce of
laudanum from vial which had been in
use during her sickness, and he was soon
corpse. Deceased was son of Purser
Thornton, of the United States navy,
and the joint heir, with his mother and
sister, of valuable estate. baltimore

LARGE vs.. SNAIL CITIES.
The Enormous Growth of Municipal In.
debtedness-some Suggestive Figures.

The Enormous Growth of Municipal In
debtedness-some Suggestive Figures.
Mr.. Robert P. Porter, of Rockford,
ILL.,, in an article in the September Gal
GGy, makes rather forcible comparison
of the management of large and small
cities. To present the sad defects in
our management of municipal affairs in
densely populated cities, he selected
twelve of the largest cities ON the CONT
nent, and shows their debt, valuation,
tax levy, and population now and in
1866. The cities taken were New York,
Philadelphia, Chicago, Boston, Cincin-
natl, st. Louis, Baltimore, San Fran
cisco, New Orleans, Brooklyn, Louis
vile, and Pittsburgh. The aggregates of
the four elements in these cities are as
follows
Municipal debt .....S $685. I19 S 152, 055. SIT
Assessed valuation of the
property .......... 4oo8, 1881 2,3oO, s42, 900
Annual taxation. ...... 79,353.777 42,523,5
Population. ............ 5,043618 2,671, 1854
The writer then takes twelve cities of
medium size, and presumably governed
by those who pay the taxes. In such
communities the proportion Of the pro-
prletors to the whole is larger than in
the twelve cities given above. In the
twelve smaller cities the reckless and
vicious part of the community is small,
and incapable of being organized and
led by INSCRIPTIONS men. That these
conditions diminish the dangers of abuses
in the management of municipal ex-
penditures seems proven by compari-
son of the following table Of aggregates
with the one above given. The cities
taken for the second comparison were
Allegheny, Columbus, Chelsea, Daven-
port, Fort Wayne, New Haven, Pater-
son, ST. Paul, Taunton, Troy, Utica and
Burlington, with the Following aggregate
results:
Municipal debt,...;..:..$ 11,685,o6O 5,899,248

In the first table, representing the
dozen large cities, we find debt in
creasing at the enormous rate of 1877 per
cent. in ten years; in the second table,
representing the twelve smaller cities,
the rate of increase is nearly 80 per cent.
less, or SO per cent. In the large cities
valuation increased but "a per cent. in
the smaller, 121 per cent. Of course
the rate OF increase in population was
higher. In the large cities the amount
of debt per capita of the population is

the proportion of the proprietors or tax
payers to the whole population is much
greater in the small than in the large
cities. Below we give table showing a
summary of these comparisons:

and would answer no questions. After
that he came daily, always bringing
something, if no more than an apple.
Last week, when the nurse told him that
Billy had no chance to get well, the
strange boy waited around longer than
usual, and finally asked if he could 90
in. He had been invited to many times
before, but had always refused. Billy,
pale and weak, and emaciated, opened
his eyes in wonder at sight of the boy.
and before he realized who it was the
stranger bent close to his face and sobbed !:
Chilly, can We forgive a Teller? We

Billy died. When the nurse took him to
the shrouded corpse he kissed the pale
face tenderly and gasped:
'D-did he say anything about about
me?"
"He spoke of you just before he
died-asked If you were here" replied
the nurse.
"And may I go-go to the funeral? :"
"You may"
And he did. He was the only mourner.
His heart was the only one that ached.
No tears were shed by others, and they
left him sitting by the new-made grave
with heart SO big that he could not speak.
