VALUABLE SECRETS.
The Book that Tom Moore SIM

Knew.

The Book that Tom Moore SIM
nressed-What Washington Irving
Knew.
Troy Times
Irving was the only American
who knew the contents of a VOL
ume, concerning which an intense
curiosity has been expressed. The
volume referred to has a strange
story. A great but polluted genius,
writhing under the verdict which
society has expressed against him.
wrote the memoirs Of his own life.
as an appeal which could not but
be heard. 1t was to have the adj
ditional power of a voice uttered
from the grave, for not till its au-
thor should be dead was it to an
pear before the world. Such was
the character Of Byron's autobio-
graphic memoirs. Having finished
the work a few years before his
death, he gave it TO his friend, Tom
Moore, who, after the poet was in
his tomb, sold it to John Murray
for two thousand guineas-eQual to
twelve thousand dollars. This was
the largest sum ever paid for any
work of the kind, After making
the sale Moore became convinced
that its revelations endangered the
character of Others to such a degree
that its publication would be dam
gerouS, Indeed, when the annu.n-
citation was made, society was
thrilled with surprise, and no doubt
a tremendous influence was brought
to bear on Moore, demanding its
suppression. He returned the price
to Murray, and perhaps the money
was made up to him in a private
manner, At any rate, the MSS.
was burned. To come to the point,
ii may be said that rs Irving and
Moore were intimate friends, the
latter consulted the former, who
read the work and therefore knew
all its strange revelations. As the
book was suppressed, Irving never
divulged those mysterious secrets,
concerning which so many have
been so intensely interested. Il
may be added that the destruction
of this MSS. was done by Mrs.
Leigh, the poets half sister, into
whose hands it was placed BY is
former owner.

Vacancies In The AIaermAnlo BOARD

Vacancies In the AIdermAnic Board
At the meeting Of the aldermAnic
board held last night, Alderman Green
presiding, one Of the members suggested
that the chairman, Alderman Gent, had
removed from the First ward into the
Second, and was therefore ineligible to
hold the position Of aldermsnie repre-
sentative Of the First ward. Chairman
zent had sem in no resignation, but it
was stated that be would do so at the
meeting which comes of this evening.
Two candidates for the vacant position
to represent the First ward have been
mentioned. Mr.. W. j. Chase and Mr.. j.
W. Byrne. The chances of election are
in favor of Me-. Chase at present, bat

didate. There are nine members OF the
board, and the vote will probably stand
in favor of Mr.. Chase by 5 to 4. When
this question is settled then an election
will be held for chairman Of the board,
and for this position the name OF Alder
man Cochran has been favorably men
toned.
During the discussion Of the matter
last night a question arose as to what
constituted a residence. One alderman
insisted that residence meant where q
member boarded and had his washing
done, while another was positive that il
was where a person lodged. This latter
assertion was denied by many aldermen
who knew very we'll that a man may
have a home or residence in one WARD
and sleep in another. The sleeping tesi
was not correct as a matter o! fact Oh
law, but after discussing the lodging and
boarding business the aldermen con
cluded to postpone the election until the
next meeting, which will be held THU
evening at the usual hour.

The Black Man speaks.


Last night the black politicians met at
Zion Hall and passed a resolution re-.
commenting to President Hayes the
propriety of appointing the following
persons TO Office ia this district: Mr..
Charles Kortrecht for postmaster; S. S
Garrett for United States marshal; Gen.
R. F. Patterson for revenue collector;
Fred Hunt, colored, for appraiser; L..
W. Marshall, oolored, for captain of the
police at the capitol building at Wash
ington City. Fred Hunt and another
negro named Evans stated to the meet
ing that Captain Garrett had pledged
himself to use his official authority TO
place black men on the United States
Court j%uries, and that Mr.. KortrecLt had
pledged himself to give black men posi-.
tons in the postofice. This was opposed
by Ed Shaw, who seemed to think that
such a course was not in accordance
With the views Of President Hayes. The
statements Of Hunt and Evans created
q sensation in the meeting.

bIYsTRELsY.-At the Memphis Thea

will appear. OF the troupe a St. Louis
journal says;
Ii cannot be denied that this troupe,
on the whole, furnishes the best interpre-
tation OF negro minstrelsy ever offered
by any other combination, their delines,
tons being truer to life, less exaggerated
and yet equally humorous and grotesque.
Their vo~calization is distinguished both
for its purity and power. and there is ev'
idence OF careful and laborious culture.
The jokes are almost entirely original
and decidedly appropos to current and
local events. The burlesque acting oil
Billy Kersands is undoubtedly its most
popular feature, his s~pecialties being
characterized with a degree OF exuber
ance which shows the actor to be gifted
with an unusually keen sense Of the
ridiculous, and therefore the better quail
fled TO give visible and tangible form tC
absurd and laughable ideas. There are
several acts s~trikingly illustrative o
actual life on Southern plantations.
