The mysterious disappearers can learn new
device to-day. A gentleman who mysterlousiy
disappeared from the classic haunts of Cam
bridge a year ago under the moving influence
of a twenty -thousand-dOllar defalcation, has
just been caught in Brooklyn in the act OF
keeping a small candy store. This is better
than running off to Europe disguised as your
own uncle.

that the Special Agent, to whom these charges
are attributed, has just been restored to the
place which his friendship for Mr.. Bristow and
his perseverance in Custom-hOuse reform once
cost him.

We have stories Of labor troubles from all parts Of
the country--of the window-glass blowers at Pitts
burgh, Penn: of the silk weavers at Union Hill and
West Hoboken of the poters at Trenton, N. j.; Of
the cotton spnners at New-Bedford, Mass. But We
are glad to be able to say that all these strikes
conducted with little or no physical violence.
As melancholy accompaniment we read that John
Donohue is presently to be hung at Mauch Chunk.

the thoughtful and law-abiding operatives Of the

Judge Noah Daviss recent decision, putting stop
to the payment of lawyers fees for unsuccessful
contestants of Wills out of the property, has been
received by the press with universal satisfaction.
It. is good instance OF the way in which the best
law corresponds with the average common sense.
When lawyers knew that. whether successful or de-
feated they were sure of nice slice of the prop
crty in dispute about the worst thing man could
do for his heirs was to die The rich estate that en-
tered the Surrogate's court often had to pay toll
10 get out. Tho rule with certain class of lawyers
came to be, Wherever you see big estate, strike
it," and the business Of breaking wills or threaten
ing to break willis assumed large proportions. Now
this is likely 10 to an end. Indeed the whole
system Of pay contestants is founded
OH false and corrupt notions that are passing away
The practice of rembursing defeated claimants of
seats in our Legislature has been forbidden by
statute. Perhaps some day Congress will rise to an
equal hight of wisdom.

There is little to add to yesterdays story OF
the st. Louis fire in the way of exact details.
Owing to the delay in getting at the ruins
there is no possibility of ascertaining the num-
Der of the lost. 1t is estimated that there were
500 persons in the burning building, and OF
these all but 103 are accounted for. Whether
the ruins will make the same CHASTITY reve-
lation as those of the Brooklyn fire remains to
be seen, but those who cherish the belief that
the total loss is represented by the total num-
Der of bodies found thus far are certainly
hoping against hope.

New-York has had much to contend with in
the legitimate competition OF the other sea-
coast cities for the interior trade OF the coun-
try, and in the policy, adverse to her interests,
adopted by the railroads. There has been some
reason for believing, however, that the
effect of these adverse influences might he
broken in part by proper attention to terminal
facilities in this city, to the navigation OF the
Erie Canal by steam, and in other ways. But
1t now appears that the steamship lines
also are discriminating against her Oh
important classes of freight, and in
favor both of seacOast and interior cities.
The metal and chemical merchants begin
to find that trade is being diverted by
reason Of this new influence, and that, unless
a change takes place, they are in way to lose
their business entirely. New-York is sorcly
bcset, and the time has nearly come to protest
against such expressions as can be helped
with some eaTncstneSs.

We are making progress beyond question. few
years ago the people became conscious OF gross
abuses in the Government service. The press not
only demanded Investigations but set them OH foot
That was the beginning. Then Congress took up
the business, and Republican majority claimed a
great deal of credit for investigating the acts Of
Republican officials. And that good far as it
went. Now have Administration that
does not wait for Congress to overhaul
tho departments but takes up the work
of investigation itself The heads of the departments
are investigating instead of being investigated, pur
fying instead of being purified This still another
step in the right direction. Now, step further
aud we shall have the logic of reform worked out :
instead of having postmasers and customs collect
OTIS waiting to he Investigated by tho departments
we shall shortly find them attending to the business
themselves, correcting the abuses i'll their own
Offices. When it comes to that, the scandal of
Investigations viii and politics will smell
Sweeter.

Conflicting reports were never more general
in Europe on the al-absorbing question OF
peace or war. Russia has apparently with
drawn her demand for a prompt reply. from
the Porte, owing probably to the fact that the
Due Decazes and Lord Derby have both re-
questcd the Porte to send an envoy to st.
Petersburg to discuss disarmament. Whatever
the Porte may do in tins matter it is certain
that the situation is becoming intOlerablc to
both Turkey and Russia, and cannot be pro-
longed much longer without entailing heavy
loss to both nations.

In view of the fact that, of the three persons
who were in the office of the Jewetts at the
time of the explosion. two are dead and one
is unable to give any account of what took
place, probably the verdict reached by the
coroner's jury yesterday is as satisfactory as
any that could be hoped for. TO many, how
ever, the statement that George w. Jewett
died from the effects of the explosion OF the
hand grenade, and that Orville d. Jewett died
from tie effects of pistol-shots fired by HIM
self, will hardly seem to account for all the
circumstances of this singular tragedy. One
of the most extraordinary of the many extra
ordinary things about it was the persistent
declaration yesterday of a relative of the elder
Jewett who sat in the very next Office that
he did not hear the explosion, although 1t was
heard at Fulton Ferry.

Mr.. Paley Of the University College, Kensington,
in letter to The London Times points out curious
confirmation of DIR. Schemann's theory Of his dis
coveries at Mykona, from the "Orestes" of Flu
ripdes He asserts that the circular inclosure Is
nothing more nor less than the ancient Agora, the
approach to which was through the Gate of Lions.
Euripdes, who must have seen in ruins, describes
countryman present at the trial of the son of Aga
memnon, as zone seldom coming into close contact
with the city and the circle of the Agora" Mr. Paley
states that the custom Of kings being buried in
front Of their own royal residences is mentioned by
Pindar. in speaking of king of Cyrene Apart
from him. in front of their palaces. lie other sacred
kings that have found their lot with Hades." He
concludes his letter by declaring that the vast
Cycopean house, near the Agora, discovered by
Dr. Schliemann, WAS undoubtedly royal palace-all
of which makes the exhumation OF Agamemnon
more possible than ever.

The British people are promised no abate-
ment in taxation during the current year. Sir
Stafford NorthcOte estimates that the receipts
will slightly exceed the expenses, and is ac-
cordingly disinclined to make any changes.
Should dull trade continue, 1t is doubtful it his
fiscal policy will meet with public approval.
The burdens which the people have supported
hitherto might then become intolerable.

Ducks W. Chickens.

The saying often applied to young ducks.
that "they eat more than they are WORTH"
may be very unjust one. Several years ago
we were speaking with woman who rails
ed yearly large numbers of ducks and chick
ems, regarding the comparative amount of
food consumed to bring them to their full
growth. She stated that "ducks eat less in
proportion to their growth than chickens"
Our readers may be surprised at this, but
upon giving the matter a little thought they
will understand the reason. 1t is because
the ducklings reach maturity sooner than the
chickens, and. of course, the longer it takes
to bring creature to maturity the greater
the expense, not only of food, but Of time
and trouble. Experiment has demonstrated
the fact that, with the same quantity of food
and care, the ducklings in ninety days from
the shell may be made to weigh nine or ten
pounds per pair, or over, while chickens in
the same length of time come to weigh only
six or seven pounds per pair. Hence the
remark quoted at the commencement of this
paper does not apply when ducklings are
properly and intelligently managed POULTRY

DESTROYING Weeds.

The London Garden remarks: ''The only
remedy for weeds is prompt destruction in a
young state. Weeds are easily eradicated if
never allowed to advance beyond the seed
leaf. Once let their roots run deep and wide,
and their tops rise high, and then the weeds
are masters in the garden. 1t provokes one
to see the complacency with which some cul-
tivators allow seeds to establish themselves in
hower-beds or borders, or on roads or walks,
and their subsequent futile efforts to subju-
gate them, Prompt destruction will vanqulsh
the very worst of them. Plantains, grasses,
thistles and docks are perhaps the most diff
cult to eradicate. But if by any neglect these
have gained slrong footing in any garden,
constant beheading alone will destroy them.
No plant can live long if never allowed to
form leaves or stems. and the shortest, surest,
easiest way to eradicate the worst weeds is by
incessant cutting off of their visible parts"
