Tweed's Home Mansion.
ew York Cor. OF Boston Journal.

New York Cor. Of Boston Journal.
While William Nj. Tweed occupies
his stone quarters in Ludlow street
Jail, his family dwell in an elegant
mansion at Greenwich. The place is
superb in Its appointments and location.
The estate lies on the Sound on a slope
Of land, with about three acres of land
closely shaved and walled in with a
handsome stone fence. The entrance
is through massive iron gates,
on which are embossed the
monogram T. The house is cas-.
tellsted, and the tall tower is conspicu.
Gus on the land and on the sea. The
house is occupied by Mrs. Tweed, mar.
ried daughter and her husband, and two
unmarried girls. The family maintain
no special retirement. They live like
sny well-to-do household. The girls
are very popular in the neighborhood
and are spoken of as being talented and
very noble young women. They gener :
ally attend the Episcopal service, al
though they are often seen in the Con-
gregational Church. The famed Ameri-
Gus Club House is now hotel.

An Appeal for Heip.

In our dispatches this morning will be
found an appeal from the Mayor of Port
Royal asking assistance for the sorely strick-
en- little community over which he presides.
About two weeks ago the yellow lever un-
fortunately made its appearance at Port
Royal, and since that time the forty or fifty
families who make up its population have
been making q gallant struggle against the
fatal disease. In the meantime many of
them have died, and the condition of the
survivors is truly pitiable. 10 quote the
words Of the Mayor they are in want of TODD,
nourishment and means to procure nurses
for the sick. The fact is the little settle
ment with its two hundred men, women and
children, nearly all of them very poor has
become plague spot, where to tho horrors

A Wa1 Interval.

Moukhtar Pacha goes on rolling up his es-
innate of the Russian losses until they now
reach fifteen thousand men in the last series
of battles in Armenia. In this way he will
kill off the entire army of the Grand
Duke Michael unless the latter stops
his deadly arithmetic by once more
attacking the Turkish lines. It is
pretty evident, however, that the Russians
have failed in their attempt to cut off
Moukhtar from Kars. In Bulgaria things
are quiet. The Russian reinforcements
must now be we'll in position, and few
days will tell whether they have come too
late to be used in this campaign or whether
the series Of bfunders may not be in part re-
trieved before King Winter orders a truce.
He is already sending out his white
uniforms for the Balkan Mountains and is
making the bridges at Sistova and Nicopolis
unsafe, so that the Cars generals have very
little time left this season to capture thrice
assailed but untaken Plevna. Snleiman
Pacha has arrived at Tchernavoda, on the
LON, and the Czarewitch will probably hear
from that bull-headed fighter before long.

Mysteries OF tho Deep.

Mississippi stories are proverbially tough.
The one told by Captain John Carraway, OF
the towboat Bee Wing, is no exception to
the general rule According to the state
ment made by that gentleman to st. Louis
paper, as published in yesterdays HEEALD,
the famous river monster, which has on
former occasions been heard of on those
waters. has again made his appearance much
to the dismay Of Captain John and his bold
crew. 1t was near Devils Elbow Cut-OH"
that the captain caught sight OF his strange
visitor, and We do not wonder that he
evinced no desire for a closer acquaintance.
A hideous monstrosity, neither fish nor
beast, having black head resembling that
Of bulldog, Shiny neck, an enormous
serpent-liko body, and tail that lashed the
waters with fury, travelling at the rate OF
eight miles IN hour, with its head and neck
raised twenty feet out OF the water,
and uttering unearthly howls, could GER
tainly not have been a pleasant object
to discover in ones track. The monster
attacked the fleet which Captain Carraway
had in tow, and drove its beak through one
of the barges, leaving portion OF the beak
sticking in the wood. There are probably
some who will insist that there had been Q
The New York herald., 1877-10-09

bending of some other elbows besides the
elbow of the river on the evening the
monster was seen, and that the formidable
bill presented to the captain was nothing
more than Mississippi River snag. But
we see no reason to be sceptical The
''devil fish" which we can now see as
reality, with its body ten feet in length
and seven feet in circumference, and its ten
arms, two of them measuring thirty feet, is
certainly. not quite equal to the Mississippi
leviathan. Nevertheless, it shows that
there are some queer kinds Of inhabitants
down in the deep waters. We should have
more faith in Captain Carraways story if
the monster he encountered had not been
seen at late hour, and if there were no
snags in the Mississippi and no liquor in
the towboat lockers.

Ga IN he tta's Defiance.

When NJ. Gambetta repeated in his elec-
tion address the phrase submit or resign"
for which he had already been prosecuted,
he doubtless discounted the cost. Hence
he cannot have been much surprised when
the Ministerial journals exploded with rage
at his audacity and demanded that he be
tried and condemned again. Gambetta and
his party have too much at stake to
afford even the semblance of retreat The
Marshal and his Cabinet have been cracking
the whip all over France, but the repub-
licans have not been intimidated and will
not be as long as their leaders can show
that there is nothing to fear. Gambetta
was prosecuted for hurting the feelings Of
the obstinate and testy old soldier, who
wonders that when he cries, "Pre-
sent armsw the nation does not hug
his official candidates. Those pachyder-
matous beings, De Fourtou and De Broglie,
declared their feelings had been wounded
also, and it looked MS though every time o
republican scratched with pen he lacer-
ated some official bosom. But, as omelettes
may not be made without breaking Of
eggs, Gambetta did not hesitate to risk
another sentence of imprisonment by prick
ing once more some Of the bubbles and
bogies of the Marshal and his men. It was
q formal def and no more.
A hint Of the deep interest taken in
the French elections outside France is
given in the news that Italy and Germany
are not combining for aggressive" pur-
poses, but lest they should 'fnd themselves
after the election confronted by clerical,
and consequently aggressive, France. :"
Bismarck does not see in the French con-
servatives the lambs they represent them
selves.

The WEArHER.--The centre OF lowest pressure
has moved from the Mississippi and Lower Ohio
valleys 10 the lake region and Canada attended
by very heavy rains and high winds. The undu-
lation of high pressure behind the disturbance is
following it closely and with steady baromctric
rise. Another area of low pressure is developing
d short distance west OF the Missouri Valley, but
as yet without threatening indications. The
slow movement OF the depression now in the
lake region is due to the resistance of area Of
unusually high pressure directly in its track.
The highest barometer continues on the coast,
but has moved toward Nova Scotia, where the
pressure is gradually falling. The zones Of high
and low pressure arc now arranging themselves
after the recent great storm The present
storm IL but Incident Of this process and owing
10 the unusually high prcssurcs prevailing in adj
vance Of it is one of marked energy. Low tenn
peratures continue to prevail. The weather in
New York to-day will be cloudy and cool, with
rain and increasing southeasterly to westerly
winds, followed BY clearing weather.

A Singular Developm emit.

Mr.. E. K. Apgar, the Deputy Secretary Of
State, wrote communication to the HERALD
explaining the letter addressed by him in
1868 to William M. Tweed and produced by
that person before the Aldermanic Investi-
eating Committee last Saturday. The mat
ter is SO trivial that no person outside
those Immediately interested would care
button whether Mr.. Apgar had written
one or one dozen letters to Tweed about his
pay as q city employs or on any other sub
ject. But very curious feature is devel-
oped by this correspondence which gives
it some sort Of importance. Mr.. Apgar
states, and Mr.. John D. Townsend admits,
that the original letter produced by Tweed
on Saturday last was on the Wednes-
day previously in Albany in the hands
Of delegate to the State Convention,
and that it was there to be used as a means
Of influencing the action Of members Of the
Convention. Mr.. Townsend says that he
sent from the Convention hall Of the demo-
cratic party to Mr.. Tweed, in Ludlow Street
sent from Ludlow Street Jail to the hall
Of the Democratic Convention This trans-
fer from the pocket Of the master thief
Of the age to that Of delegate to the Demo-
cratic State Convention appears to prove
conclusively that the hand Of Tweed was at
work in the Convention and that the great
maleiactor was deeply interested in the
action Of that body. It is handy, even if it
savors Of uncleanness, to have . terrible
old democratic "client" in Jail who can be
relied On by one-half of q democratic
convention to produce at call letters and
checks that will prove the other half to be
knaves, fools, beggars, or impostors

perilous retreat Of famine-stricken men
toward far distant point of safety and relief
over a route wholly unknown as to its diff
culties and natural perils, and through the
midst of cannibals who harassed the travel
lers at every opportunity. Yet, despite all
this, the object Of the expedition is held
sacred by Stanley. He fulfils his duty to
the HERALD and the Daily Telegraph and
to civilization in the midst Of perils
calculated to awaken only the most selfish
thoughts in the mind of man. TO Judge of
the cool deliberation with which Stanley en-
barked in this his last and greatest enter
prise we need but read his letter dated
at Nyangwe, OF which we print this morning
copy of the duplicate preserved by him,
the original having been sent to the East
Coast. He fully appreciated the dangerof
the journey down the Lualaba, but wholly
undaunted by it he remarks, 1T must be
very strong tribe indeed that can turn US
back now" BY this simple sentence he in
dicates his determination to proceed, no
before he had penned this expression OF
heroic resolve he had lost many men by de-
sertion and sickness. His hitherto most
faithful follower, Kalulu, had left him, al
though he afterward returned to his duty.
He was short Of supplies and six months
journey from Zanzibar and assistance. Yet,
with the true adventurous dash that half
wins the battle, he plunges into the un-
known and emerges conqueror.
Stanley's first letter from the West Coast
of Africa is that Of man who has been just
relieved from great mental and physical
strain. He claims the forbearance of those
who SO anxiously await his story until his
strength and nervous tone return. He
deems himself unfit to deal with the grave
matter of his journeys and discoveries until
with recruited health the absolute newness
Of his existence among civilized people
wears off and he begins to feel again equal
to the task Of writing. To a man in his con-
dition and after accomplishing his work
this allowance will be generously made.
The pleasure Of knowing that he is safe and
about to unveil the mysteries Of Equatorial
Africa rccompenses for any delays that may
occur in the publication Of these important
records and discoveries. So far we give the
letters thnt have reached us, addressed by
Stanley to the HERALD and the London
Daily Telegraph, in whose service Mr. STAN
ley has accomplished the greatest geograph-
ical success on modern record.
