The lights and shadows of the
dramatic profession are many, and
the contrasts are violent. The
same train which carried the body
OF Montague East also took that of
Powers, the husband Of the clever
jig-dancer and soubrette actress,
Kitty O'Neil. Powers was suffer
ing severely with consumption,
aud his wife, being under engage
ynent to go to San Francisco with
Tony Pastors company last spring,
induced him to accompany her,
hoping that change Of air would
10 him good. The company per-
formed In all the large cities on
the way across the continent. and
therefore the journeying was by
easy stages at first. Powers failed
steadily, and was given constant
care by Kitty, who only left him
TO- do her customary dancing in the
H4IDWs Ahltt tbC III Dah
Franci-co he seemed to improve
awhile, but the air was really bad
for him, aud he grew worse in
turn. Kitty danced herself into
popular favor, and smiled bewitch-
ingly at the applauding boys in the
'<xaliery Of the Bush Street Theater;
hut when not thus engaged she
was constantly with her dying
husband. The company started
back eastward. aud she stayed be-
bind. Powers was TOO weak to
travel far, and she decided TO take
him TO Southern California. How
sver, he died before a start could

astor company, dancing and

FIGHTING JOE HOOKER Is not
willing that Grant shall annihilate
the "battle above the clouds"
The ex-President of late has be-
come as garrulous as he was form
erly reticent. He should remember
that if speech is silvern silence is
golden. He has given Gen. Hook
or an opportunity to administer to
him a just rebuke. In his issues of
personal veracity Grant has not
been specially happy, as witness
his controversy with President
Johnson as to the terms on which
the former took possession of the
War Department, and the later
controversy between himself and
Mr.. Fish and the friends of the late
Senator Sumner, Chairman of the
| Senate Committee of Foreign AT
fairs. Grant will find it just as
difficult to abolish the "battle
above the clouds" as to prove that
he would not have been annihilated
at Pittsburgh Lapding had it not
been for the timely arrival of Gen.
Buell..

w. w. Allen, Esq, of this place,
has just returned home from Ven
tura county, where he has been en-
gagged for some time on the side OF
the defence in the More murder
csse. Mr.. Allen is convinced that
the arrest and trial of Churchill,
Sprague and others was the result
of conspiracy, and that the late
decision of the Secretary
of the Interior in regard
to lands in Santa Barbara county,
has rendered it abortive. Mr.. Allen
says there is little doubt but More
was murdered by Mexicans. and
that the Supreme Court will re-
verse the judgments of the Dis

of a marked revival. This is owing
to the extensive area of farming
lands which are being cultivated in

the brighter railway prospects at
that point. We note with pleasure
advances in any section OF this
county, and we should be only too

According to the Pharmacist, an
ink that cannot be erased even
with acids is obtained by the fol.
lowing receipt: To good gall ink
add strong solution of fine solu.
BILE Prussian blue in distilled water.
This addition makes the ink,
which was previously proof against
alkalies, equally proof against
acids, and forms a writing fluid
which cannot be erased without
destruction of the paper. The ink
writes greenish blue, and turns
black.

Matter.

A New Phase OF the CLANCY Carr
Matter.
SAN FRANCISCO, August 3lst.--
The Bulletin this afternoon
published an article relative to the
Pinney-Carr matter which some
time ago created such sensation.
The article is based upon a cores
pondence which will be published
in to-morrow's Call, owing to its
being too late to be put in to-day.
The letters have been collected
from time to time by w. B. Carr,
and show the existence of con-
spiracy against him and others,
the nature of which is fully devel-
oped. 1t appears that, at the time
Pinney absconded, he owed the
banks about half million and
that, on his return, he endeavored
to shift the responsibility upon
Carr. The latter gathered the let
ters referred to and showed them
to the bank officers upon which the
latter at once dropped the suits
against Carr, alleging that they
had been deceived by Pinney. 1t
also appears that the money OBJ
tained by Pinney was lost in stock
and mining operations and was not
used for political purposes, as has
been charged. The correspondence
shows Il most adroit and shameful
conspiracy against a number OF
persons prominent in business and
political circles.

SAN FRANCISCO, August 31.-The

the past month have been the

month since 1876, amounting to Al
cargoes, besides two or three likely
to clear this afternoon.

PHILADELPHIA, August 3lst.-
Kearney arrived this evening. He
was met at the depot by a commit
tee appointed last night, consisting
of National leaders, who escorted
him to Gould's Hotel where he
took supper. But few persons were
present to bid him welcome,
either at the depot or hotel. After
supper Kearney was driven to
Broad street and Montgomery
avenue, where an open air meeting
was held, at which between 5000
and 1000 people were present. He
spoke for about two hours and his
remarks were pretty much the
same as he has previously made
around the country. He took oc-
casion to localize his remarks by
reference to the November election
in this city and the trial of the
Mollie Maguires in the coal region.
The latter he characterized as one
of the greatest outrages of the age.
He said it was an effort of capital
and railroad robbers to break do " n
the law-abiding portion of the or
ganization, which had no other OBJ
ject than its protection against the
invasion of capital and oppression.
At his own request collection
was taken up to defray his ex-
penses to Baltimore, for which city
he will leave tom orrow.
