A rFrECr1vE SCANDAL.

In Philadel phia, ON Wednesday eveh-
ing, according to the Times, four men
entered the saloon Of Frederick Helm,
N. e. corner of Tenth and Cherry streets.
One Of the four represented himselfas a
detective, wearing q badge and carrying
pistol and blackjack, another said that
he was United States revenue officer
and third represented himself as a
policeman. The party said to Helm that
they had a search-warrant for stolen pro-
party said to be In his house. Helm
asked them to produce II, and, the detec--
tive pulled out warrant 10 search some
house on Front street. When the pro-
prietor then refused to allow the MEN to
inspect the premises, the fourth map Of
the party,a fat fellow, barred the doors
leading out upon Tenth and upon Cherry
streets. The others then tried to hand
cuff Helm, but after furious struggle
Helm was liberated by his friends. The
assailants then ran. The crowd that had
collected gave chase and three of the
men were caught, the fourth, the one
who had called himself an officer. escap-
ing. AT the Sixth district st ,tion house
on Eleventh street, below Vine where
| the prisoners we're taken, one of the men
threw down his card as surety, but they
were all hustle Into the cells. l.5. %
The Times of this morning further
states that future developments disclosed
the tact that two Of the arr rested men
were connected with Mayor Stockley's
special police force-Wm. III. Porter and
John Brehm. The third man who gave
his name as Mitchell was really John NJ.
Dunn, U. S. Marshal for Delaware.
Dunn hover had hearing Magistrate
Pole, and was released on $500 bail. Ihe
Times further states that the fourth man
was supposed to be zone Smith, a court
clerk in Wilmington" aud that requi-
sition from the Governor of Delaware
for the arrest of Dunn and Smith, will be
asked for. Porter and Brehm were held
in $1,000 bail each, TO answer the charge
of aggravated assault and battery.
The object of the attack on Helm, it il
alleged, was to procure blackmail, and II
is said that Porter has then connected
with similar practices in times past.
This morning Marshal Dunn and s
Redmond Smith, Esq, Clerk of the U
is. Court for the District of Delaware

Helms saloon for the purpose of taking
some refreshment, and in the excitement
following the assault upon Helm hi

Miss Brown learned the whole story

"Such a story as this it was evident re

was shortly concocted by which the Pro

confession over again in the presence u

to avoid arousing the suspicious of thu

the girl into talking freely, and under
her skilful questioning he told the sam'

Information of the confession of tn,
Professor, and OF the circumstances un
der which 1t was first made and after
wards confirmed, was given to the au
thorities at police headquarters last uight
and Captain Williams was summoned
thither and informed of the whole mat

for the Professors arrest, but the hou

ARTIFICIALLYC0LoRED SUGARS
Reducing the Standard and EUdding ht
Reuenue.


ReUenue.
WASHINGTON, August 12.-Many
false statements are being sent out
from here relative to the subject OF ar
uficially-colored sugars. These state
ments seem intended more for the in
Jury of the Supervising Special Agent
of the Treasury than for any other
purpose, as they contain no informa-
tton on the subject, and yet all the
! information wanted Is accessible to
any correspondent. The subject of ar
tifcially-cOlored sugar has not yet been
fully Investigated by the Treasury De-
partment. Samples of so-called ccl-
! ored sugars furnished by Col. Aiexan-
der, of New York, were submitted to
Professor Henry, of the Smithsonian
Institute, some months ago, but the
report OF the chemical analysis made
by DIR. Sadler, chemist OF Philadei-
phia, was not received until very re-
Gently. About the same tim g a repor
was received from Special Agen
Cham berlain, of Baltimore, inc|osing
a statement of an analysis OF colored
sugars. All these reports concur In
the opinion that the coloring matter
in the sugars was of foreign substance,
introduced for the purpose of reducing
the standard and evading the reve-
nues. the sugars being OF the highest
quality OF crystalhzed cent riiusal su'
ears, polarizing from94 per cen t)96 pei
cent. of pure saccharine matter. Il li
certain that if this class of sugar is to bs
allowed to pass at the lowest r,te OF
duty, and is to be manufactured intt
sugar for export. all the calculations
heretofore made as to the proper amount
of draw back to be paid upon refined sn'
gar exported will have TO be revised, Ii
1872 81 percent of imports was classed a.

LICISM. .1 "'' lrJ,
The impression prevails very euten-
sively that Palestine is to be repeopled
with Israslites who are now scattered
abroad in all lands, and that q large
emigration of this people thitherward
has set in. Some authorities declare
even that the population of Palestine to.
day Is double what 1t was ten years ago.
IT this refers to the Jews the Rev DR..
De Hass, who has been United States
Consul at Jerusalem for seven or eight
years, writes to the Christian AdUocote
of New YORK city to say that it may be
true, but of the entire population 1t is
not true. The country, he says owing
especially to, the heavy drain upon the
able-bodied men to keep up the Turkish
army, is rapidly being depopulated and
Impoverished. Deserted villages are
everywhere to be seen. There is less
wealth among the people, fewer cafnels,
horses, and stock of all kinds than ten
years ago. Fruit and forest trees are also
disappearing. Carmel was almost strip
ped Of her timber for the Suez canal and
as any fruit tree is taxed whether it bears
, or not, few are now planted. Everything
there appears to be- finished. There is
no progress, no Improvement of any
kind. There are about &c, 600 Jews in all

THE TINE TO EAT FRUIT.

The earlier in the day fruits are eaten
the better. They should be ripe, fresh
and perfect, and if eaten in their natura
state, it is almost impossible to take toe
much. Their healtEful qualities depend
on their ripe acidity, but If sweetened
with sugar the acidity is not only neutral
lied, but the stomach is tempted to re
ceive more than it can digest, and il
cream is taken with them, the labor oi
digestion is increased. No liquid of any
description should be drunk within an
hour after eating fruits, nor should any
thing else be eaten withing two or three
hours-thus time being allowed for them
to pass out of the stomach, and the sys
tenn derives from them all their enliven
ing cooling and aperient influences. The
great rule Is, eat fruits and berries while
fresh, ripe and perfect, in their natural
state, without eating or drinking any
thing for at least two hours afterward
With these restrictions, fruits may ot
eaten In moderation during the day and
without getting tired of them, or ceasine
to be benefited by them during the whole
season.

railroads-since involved in no end
of trouble-used to tell me Of Won
ders that he had seen performed by
u medium of the name Of Forster.
"Let me by all means see them," |
said; and it was arranged that |
should; but, for one reason or
another, never came in contact
with Forster until the night pre-
viops to my leaving the country. |
had asked the railway president
and two or three other friends to
dine with me at Delmonico's, a ia
nous New York restaurant. We
had a private room, and when din
ner was nearly finished, happened
to cay to the president that after all
l should leave the country without
meeting Forster. "Shall send for
him ?" he said. "By all MEANS" l
replied ; and he wrote a note to
invite him to come to the restaurant
and smoke cigar with us, Soon
Forster appeared. He was a pleas
ant, gentlemanly man. Dessert was
on the table, and he sat down,
drank his wine, smoked his cigar
and Joined in the general conversa-
ton. After a little while this con-
versation gravitated into discus
sion on Spiritualism. Forster asked
me what / thought Of him. ! said,
"You are my guest, so ] do not
