From The 8pectator.l

The French mind is still agitated with
rumours OF a coming coup d'etot. The
latest report is that Marshal MacNahon
has resolved not TO endure defeat at the
rolls, that the Government has detprmin-
ed on using military force, and that he
Duke de Broglie aud General Berthaut,
who desire TO OBEY the law, have offered
their designations. That there has been
talk about designations SENS true, but it
is more probable that tho recalcitrant
Ministers are resisting the proclamation Of
a state OF siege Just before the elections.
Even ii the Marshal is inc ined to strike a
coup d'ctnt. which. as we have elsewhere
argued, is improbable, he has no tempta-
ton to move before the result of the cleo
lions is known. Il is much more likely
that the Marshal, who has a good deal If
self confidence, still believes that bis name
will charm France. and that the Dcxt
Chamber will BIZ composed Of excellent"
Deputies, aa obedient as corporais. lilo
has no motives as UT to proclaim tho
Prince Imperial, And "a coup detHt in hi4
name would be a grotesque crime.
Meanwhile, the facts in Franco are
that the elections are fixed for October
il, that the Cabinet remains outwar1Iy
united, that The Bi,hops are delivering
charges imploring the faithful to vote for
tbe Conservative factions, and that the
Republican candidates are almost silent.
SO are the Ministers, with the exception
OF the Duo Decazes. who has offered him
self for a district OF Nice, in al address in
which be says that the Nizzards expect a
pacific and stable regime from u govern
ment at The head of which is a man who
helped to Iiberate Ita'y. He accepts their
invilation to represent them, and asks
them by slecting him to "afirm their de-
size to remain faithful to the Consti.
sutton" Voting for Marshal MacMahon
is an odd way of protecting the Consri'u-
zion. which melody has attacked but him
self, but there is no coup d'etM lurking
eInder the Duo Decazss's address. 1t
should not be forgotten in considering the
situation that a coup d'ftat would shake
all Eur ope as well as France, and alter
every political combipation.

Mr.. Tweed is revealing the history Of
his management Of New York. He states,
among other facts, that he repeatedly
bought legislative assistance with the
money plundered from the City, and on
one OCCASION carried a Charter Act by an
expenditure OF 91 90. 900. The tariff for
Senators varied. but vixen a man was in
huentiaI, he demanded 10000 for his
vote, and received $4,000. The payments
were made usually in money, which was
paid, as o rule. through the editor OF the
Commercial Aducriser, a Mr.. Hastings,
who himself received only $4,000. MIR.

The marriage of King Alfonso OF Spain
has, it 10 stated, been arranged. He is to
marry his cousin the 1nfAtta Mercedes,
daughter of the Duke de Montpensier.
The marriage is rot popular, as the Duke
is SO hated that he has agreed. when it has
once taken place. to retire to Bologna and
live for the future out Of Spain; bus the
King insists on it, according to some
accounts out of affection for his cousin
according to others, in pursu nncs OF pro-
misses given before he became King wnen
the Duke de Montpensier's help was con.
sidered indispensable. The matter is OF
little importance to Europe, as the Duke
de Montpeusier can never mount the French

PeriIOus Position.

About 10 o'clock Sunday night as
John Conley, the night Waterman at the
Battle House, was making his. usual
rounds of inspection, while in the rear
of the building he heard noise In the
yard. On his way to see what it was his
foot slipped on the smooth brass strips
with which the stairs are faced, and he
plunged over the balusters, grasping at
the top rail, and turned a complete
somersault His hands slipped from the
rail but fastened with desperate grip
ON the end of one of the steps which pro-
ieected only an inch or two. 1t was a
fearful position. His back was to the
stairs. his hands over his head, and his
head under the stairs, and far below him
the stone-paved yard. He called for
help Justify, and the noise was heard at
the office by some gentlemen standing
there. who remarked that there must be
n fight in the street The housekeeper
heard his cries and went to his assist
ance but was not able to relieve him,
but added her cries to his The noise
was heard below, and several persons
rushed to see what was the matter. One
of the night clerks came rushing up
with Babcock strapped on his back.
Mr.. Soto leaned over, and, putting his
hand through the stair rails, took firm
hold of Conley's wrist, and encouraged
him TO hold on, that it was all right,
that they would save him. One of the
other gentlemen got hold of Conley's
coat. and raised him so his leg could be

Lean From High Bridge.

A little before | o'clock yesterday af-
ternoon an old man, well dressed and of
respectable appearance, was seen wan
dering about the streets near High
bridge. Philip McGonigan, employed
by the Department Of Public Works as
watchman, was on the bridge alone.
The stranger, after little while, walked
out upon the bridge and was noticed by
McGonigan. The Waterman turned his
back to the stranger for n few seconds,
and on looking round again was startled
at finding himself alone. A tremendous
splash was heard in the river 1876 feet
below, and told him the story in q mo-
ment. The man had suddenly thrown
off his hat, dropped his walking stick,
mounted the parapet, which is breast
high, and jumped off. Two men
CHANGED to be out on the river III small
boat fishing at the time. They were
only few yards from where the man
struck the water. The first warning
they had was the sudden splash in the
water. Both turned quickly in the di-
rection of the noise and saw the body of
man on the surface of the water. He
appeared to be dead even then, and the
body did not sink. AS quickly as they
could they hauled in their lines, seized
the oars and pulled up to where the
body lay floating. Blood was running
from the mans nose. They pulled the
body into their boat and rowed ashore.
The body was recognized as that of
Abraham Cooper. He was 70 years old.
He jumped from point between the
middle arches and struck in deep water.
Although this is the first suicide known
to have been committed on High bridge,
1t is not the first instance of a person
leaping from it into the Harlem river.
The famous Sam Patch, who afterward
lost his life at Genesee falls, jumped
from High bridge about twenty years
ago, watched by thousands of admiring
spectators. He was dressed in tights, a
dainty pair of slippers and little red
skull-cap. A platform projecting out
several feet beyond the side of the
bridge had been erected, and from this,
after standing for few moments to re-
ceive the deafening cheers of the multi
tudes assembled on the opposite banks
of the river, the reckless man jumped
off, In falling he maintained an erect
POSITION, striking une wafer Wlun MS
feet first. He disappeared under the
water, but soon rose and was tenderly
picked up by. his friends, who were
waiting near by in boats. Again, about
six years ago, man named Peter Fran
els jumped from the bridge while I'M
der the influence of liquor, and he is to-
day alive and probably fishing in the
river not far from where Cooper COM

The Germans.

German merchants at Montevideo have
addressed a memorandum to the I'm
perial Chancery at Berlin, wherein they
point out the general defects of German
manufactures and the German mode OF
doing business. Dishonesty, unpunctu-
atty and want of taste are, according to
them, distinguishing features in German
doings, and hence the French and En-
glish supplant them. 1t is said that the
finer branches of manufacture in Ger
many suffer very much on account of the
protracted military service required of
the people. Young artisans are thus
taken away when their hands are becom-
ing skilled in difficult and delicate man
ipulation, and when they return to work
they find that the hand has lost its cum
ming. A nation which makes man-killing
the first end and aim of existence must
not be expected to come up to the highest
standard i'll other respects.

Mexico and the United States.

All the recent information from Mex
leo tends to the conclusion that the peo-
pie in the interior of the country are as
inimical to the United States as are those
on the Rio Grande. Their newspapers
print only hostile and exciting articles
about the relations of their country with
the United States, and their orators on
public occasions indulge in unmeasure9
bombastic talk about the dignity and
rights of their country, which they
claim are lnsulted and invaded by the
efforts of our Government to induce
Mexico to enforce her own laws against
the thieves who infest the border. Re-
Gently they had celebration of the an
niversary of Molino del Rey, at which
the President and all the high officials of
the land were present, but ut which the
facts that a handful of Americans
stormed their stronghold and took their
capital were studiously ignored. The
Mexican problem is one OF the most
difficult with which our Government has to
deal. The very weakness of the coun-
try, and pity for her people under their
never ending political revolutions, have
caused our forbearance under the disre-
gard of all that international comfy re-
quires to be carried to the extreme, yet
the only result is that her rulers and
journalists seem to seek for excuses to
quarrel. Unless some new internal dis
turbance claims their serious attentio
we may be dragged into another war
with Mexico in spite of every effort and
the most sincere wish to avoid it,

Take Which Road You Please.

John Randolph was travelling in a part
of Virginia with which he was unac-
quainted. In the meantime he stopped
during the night at an inn mt the forks
of the road. The innkeeper was fine
old gentleman, and no doubt one of the
first families of the Old Dominion.
Knowing who his distinguished guest
was, he endeavored to draw him into
conversation, but failed in all his efforts.
But in the morning when Mr.. Randolph
was ready to start, he called for his bill,
which, on being presented, was paid.
The landlord, still anxious to have some
conversation with him, began as fol-
lows:
(Which way are you travelling, Mr..
Randolph p

look of displeasure.

"Do l owe you anything more ?"
ono"
"Well, I am going just where 1 please
do you understand ?"
The landlord by this time got some
what excited, and Mr. Randolph drove
off. But, to the landlords surprise, the
servant returned to inquire which of the
forks of the road to take. Randolph not
being out of hearing distance, the land
lord spoke at the top of his voice:
" Mr.. Randolph, you don't owe me a
cent; just take which road you please"
1t is said that the air turned blue with
the curses of Randolph.

His Endorsement.

A man with a long overcoat on and O
horsewhip in his hand entered bank
near the postoffice yesterday and pre-
sented check calling for so, which he
had received from a commission house.
"Please indorse it," said the cashier,
as he handed it back.
"Pll indorse it, of course" replied
the man, holding up his right hand as if
ready to swear.
" Write your Endorsement, explained
the clerk, pointing to- the desk outside.
"Oh-oh-that's it, Ell 2" And he
went to the desk and slowly and carefully
wrote on the back of the check:
"This is awl rite"
When the cashier entered into a
clearer explanation the man drew down
his hat, got red in the face and growled:
