had been assassinated, entered the

In 1912 he was colonel. and
such was also the rank of Baron

On the eve Of the battle of Leip.

D'Estang met accidently in the tent
of General Milordovitch.
When Ereshinsky heard the
Frenohman's name, he said to him;
Are not you the assassin of my
father :"
He waited for no reply, but shot
Loirot D'Estang dead on the spot.
Alexander the First, upon hear

1t seems from paper read the
other day before the London Socie-
ty of Arts by Mr.. W. H. Preece,
that the flies which are now becom.
ing so numerous with the increas,
ing warmth have a speech of their
own, and are not confined to the
Irritating buzz with which they
have been so long associated. This
Language can be heard with the as
sistance of the microphone, which
magnifes sound and aids the ear
as the eye. Mr.. Preece states that
with it he has heard the tramp of a
little fly across a box with a tread
almost as loud as that of horse
across a wooden bridge. A curious
sound accompanied the tramp of
the fly, which, it was suggested,
was caused by the neighing of its
proboscis. 1t is to be hoped that
the flies have not got a habit of re-
peating all they hear while walking
on the ceiling; if they have, what
disclosures might be made by some
scientific eavesdropper with a stray
fly imprisoned in a microphone |!
In these days of wonderful inven.
tions fly of the air may carry the
matter as well as the proverbial
bird.

FROM AFFLUENCE TO POVERTY.

A Once wealthy Business Man OF
York.
New York Herald. June4
There is singular case of desti-
tuition at No. 16 Stuyvesant street.
1t is that Of a man sixty.four years
old and his wife, who were once
very wealthy, but who now occupy
a small hall room in the above
premises. All they have to eat is
what is sent to them by the land
lady and one or two persons who
CHANGED to make their acquaintance
in better days. The old man, whose
name Is NJ. L. Vim, was born in
Clinton, Me-, where he learned the
carpenter trade. Afterward he
opened a small grocery store in
Boston; then he came to New York
and embarked in the confectionery
business. He afterward moved to
Albany, where he enlarged the
sphere Of operations. In 1849 the
gold fever broke out, and leaving
their two children and all his busi,
ness to the care of his wife, he sailed
to San Francisco with $500 bor-
rowed money. He Landed in Cali
iornla without a cent, and began
business by manufacturing candy,
which he sold from a tray in the
streets. He made money very rapid
ly, and in a short time was in a
position to pay all his Indebtedness.
This done he opened a confection-
cry store, but it was DESTROYED by
fire. He began again, when once
more his building with all its con-
tents was burned to the ground, but
he soon retrieved his Losses, and in
four years was worth 100000. He
became the proprietor of two large
restaurants, and employed 100 per-
sons who were paid an average of
800 month and board. He was a
very charitable man, aud made it a
practice to give $50 day to the
poor of San Francisco. lie gave
$1,000 year to the churches of the
same city, and liberal sums to the
sufferers of its great fire.
"All the noted men and women
of that day." said Mr.. Winn yester-
day to the writer, "dined at nv es.
tablishment, and many who were
poor and unknown then are rich
and famousnow."
Mr.. Winn was asked the cause of
his final failure. "I was robbed" ~
said he, "by my confidential assist
ants. Every man | employed was
a thief. In four years more, with
honest help, would have been
worth half a million of dollars. Nv
secretary and cashier squandered
$4,000 over the gambling table.
My cook ran a clearinghouse with
my provisions. Then l indorsed
notes for friends, and desolation and
ruin soon came"
The aged man spoke correctly
and clearly; but his eyes shone un-
naturally bright, and he could
scarcely stand, he was SO weak from
want Of food.

he not ready to risk his life in a

matter over with bows and scrapes,
but our countrymau had his ire mp

went at it. They both suffered
some, but the Frenchmau was
obliged to leave, carrying unmis-
takeable signs on his face of an
ignoble conflict with fists. The
American was never challenged
again while in France.

A fair sample Of what a French
man calls coward, on receiving a
challenge recently, wrote back that
as the challenged party be had a
right to choose weapons, and he
chose fists at ten PAGES. If, after
fighting some time, these weapons
proved Intellectual, he would be per-
fectly willing to settle it by seeing
who could drink the most soda
water or pop. The noble French
man proceeded in a rage to the
house of the American, and was
thus addressed by his offender:
"You have politely asked me to
give You the opportunity of taking
my life with your sword, which you
handle with the skill of professor
and which | never handled. You
know you could do this as soon as

who profted by Lydia Thompson's
money being very popular actress
at present playing in New York,
another a beautiful creature now
prominent in London. With con.
summate art, the eold-blooded.
.corpse-like traitor played off each
of these exquisite creatures against
the other.
With Lydia Thompson's money
he established himself as the man
ager of two theaters in London,
ence branching out, disastrously,
into a third.
During her last trip to America,
which ended so suddenly, Lydia
Thompson, who had in the mean
time been married to Henderson,
heard that she had been completely
supplanted by a rival, and that the
money she was making went, among
other things, to feed that rivals
love of luxury.
Hence her abrupt return to
Europe.
If, as threatened, a divorce suit
had grown out of this strange state

an astonishing state of things on
the London stage, as well as a fresh
illustration of the devotion of Eo.

river. In the spirit Of frOlic and
mischief, he threw large stone, in
tending that il should startle her by
making a sudden splash. But it

hideous wound. She fell into the
river. The soldier did not wait to
see that she was rescued. lie gal

The Nationals aud the Democracy
An inspection of the principles Of
the Greenback, or National party,
as enunciated by the recent meet
ings in Washington, shows that
they are aiming at the same results
sought by the Democracy. Thus
they remove themselves frum all
suspicion that they seek something
else, and destroy every reason for
their separate existence. Two par
ties, seeking the same end I'm gov
ernment, is an absurdity, an anOm-
ally that never did exist. III il ap-
pears that there are two such parties
il is only an appearance, only a tenn
porary, different phase Of the same
thing. The movement Is in the main
where the means are identical, SIM
ply an earnest seeking for the lead
ership, and an enjoyment OF place
and emOluments on the part of q
class of men who have not obtained
place and leadership under the old
parties. Whether they are better
men, ADLER men, safer leaders, more
patriotic, prudent and Trustworthy,
is a matter which may be safely left
to the judgment of the people Of
this country. The Democracy, un-
der the leadership Of the past ten
years, aiming at those ends set
down by the Nationals nj Washing
ton AS their purposes, have, under
difficulties which have appalled, and
sickened faint-heartcd men, pro-
gressed slowly, but with a sure and
firm step toward power they arc

zation of the past they have adj
vanced to the control of the legisla-
tive branch Of the Government, to
be assumed entirely in 1880, provi-
ded they are not weakened by di-
visions.
What reason, then, exists for au-
other party? The National leaders
say they want Government bonds
to bear the burdens of taxation like
other property, a full legal tender
currency, the Immediate and uncOn-
ditiOnal repeal of the resumption
act and lawful liberation of the coin
i'm the Treasury, the removal of all
restrictions as to the coinage and
use of silver, the issue OF treasury
notes to such an extent as will fully
satisfy the requirements Of trade,
the retiring Of national bank notes
and substitution theTelurOf Govern
ment notes, opposition to mOnOpo-
lies, subsidies, and special privileges,
but judiciOus expenditure in the
construction of necessary national
improvements, opposition to the
increase of the national bonded debt.
Ifthey had taken the measures per-
sistently pressed by the Democratic
House upon the attention Of the
Senate, they would have deduced
therefrOm the very principles laid
down above, without "A single eN-
ceptioD.
Then, where is the use for new
party to carry out principles nj
ready ably, earnestly and ellectual-
ly advocated by an already
party, unless il is TO be looked for
in the desire Of some persons whose
abilities and talents have been neg
lected, to hold Office and draw pay?
Sdch men can always promise more
on the stump than any honest man
can prOmise-mOre than any man
can fulfill. When they get together
to speak out before the world, they
simply promise what the Democra-
cy has been laboring at for years,
and what it will-surely accomplish.

PUBLIC EXPENDITURES.
Some Valuable Figures for Demo-
cratic Speakers.


The Democratic Congressional
committee has prepared a compar-
ative table of appropriations made
by Republican Congress with the
appropriations made since there has
been Democratic majority in the
House, which it is meant that every
doubtful voter shall have an Op-
pOrtunity to peruse, and every
speaker to read to the people.
The public debt of the United
States reached its highest figure in
August, 1875, when it was, less
bonds issued to the Pacific railroads
and less cash In the Treasury,
81, ,756, ,431 ,571 .43, of which sum there
bore interest, 81, 1881 $50, ,294.96. The
total public debt, less cash in the
treasury and bonds issued to Pacific
railroads, on July l, 1873, was g.
035, 786, ,S31 80, of which sum bearing
interest was 81 800, ,330, ,210.26.

The expenditures of the United
State, exclusive of pensions, public
debt principal and interest and pre-
miums for the ten years from June
80, 1861, after the war, to June 30, 1876,
were $528, 8,917, ,137.S7. The expendi-
tures for ten years prior to the war,

were Sd72, 1872, ,200.52, an increase of

Gratis have controlled the House, if
appropriation bills had passed the
Senate as passed by the HouseSl14,-

over the Republican appropriations
