Real Strategy.

The Rochester Union" says: The
keeper of lager-beer garden in this
city was last night put to his wits ends
to keep up the well-earned reputation of
the establishment for good order. Two
young men entered arm-in-arm, their
noisy manner showing that they had
been around q little too much. APP
preaching the pair Mr.. II. shook hands
with each of them and said, "See here,
John, will you please excuse me for a
moment, want to talk with Jake"
John consented and Jake and Mr.. r..
retired to short distance from him
when Mr.. r., addressing Jake, said,
See here, now, Jake, you are gentle
men and friend of mine; now, John
is little off tonight, and you see the
style of people here, and won't you
do me the favor of taking him homer"
Jake replied, Mr.. r., John is ugly
sometimes, and he might get angry with
me if propose to him to go home be-
fore we get some beer. Mr.. r. then
said, "Oh, well, will fix that all right !;
you stay right here and l will go and
see john" going to where John was
standing. Mr.. r. said, "John you are
gentleman and friend of mine. Jake
is little Off tonight and won't you
do me n great favor by taking him
home ?" John Strengthened up and
said, Mr.. r., you are right; I'll do it. :"
Mr.. r. said, "Then go ahead and call
and see me again." The two friends
then approached each other, each of
them persuading the other to go home,
and left together, each happy in thought
that he was doing a great kindness to
his cOmDaniOn.

The Wheat GIut at Detroit.

The Detroit NetOs says: The receipts
of wheat in this as well as other mar
kets have recently been so heavy as to
be beyond the capacity of transportation
and elevator facilities; while the de-
mand on heavy grain dealers for curren-
cy has been simply enormous. The
Michigan Central elevator, although
working night and day, is reported to be
behind about 400 or 500 cars, and the
Detroit & Milwaukee elevator only a
few cars. AS an offset to the limited
elevator capacity here free shipments are
being made; elevators in the interior
are generally well-filled, the wheat stored
there being much of it sold to arrive,
and every effort is being made to pro-
tect the interest of country shippers
Meanwhile the board have informed
VIM. H. HI. Vanderbilt by letter of the
present situation of affairs and asked
him for improved facilities.

A Remarkable Robbery.

PORTLAND, Oregon, August 90 At
nine o'clock this morning three strangers
entered the pawnbroker shop of Mr..
O'Shea, on Washington street, felled
the proprietor with slung-shot, locked
the door, packed the jewelry and valua-
bles, and escaped by the rear entrance,
passed through dry goods store to
First street. An alarm was given, and
an officer pursued the robbers.
AT the corner of Morrison and Third
streets they fired two shots at the officer,
missing him, but instantly killing Louis
Joseph, aged fourteen. The robbers
then jumped into an express wagon,
drove to the outskirts of the city and
made for the timber.
Pursuit was at once organized but
thus far without success. If captured
they will undoubtedly be lynched in
the prevailing excitement. O'Shea's
injuries are considered fatal. An alarm
has been given in all directions, and the
capture of the murderers is considered
certain. The amount of plunder is yet
unknown.

Terrible Rain Fall.

MUsCATINE. Iowa, August 20. - The
most violent storm that ever ragged over
this section completed its work of ruin
last night. The intense heat of the last
two days had nearly prostrated every
one, but about o. clock heavy black
clouds gathered. Rain soon fell, and
the streets of the city became raging
flood, carrying everything movable in
its surging waters. The continued and
vivid flashes of lightning, the inky
darkness, the rushing of waters and
crashing of timbers and floating objects
made terrible scene. The rain fall
was four and sixty-eight one hundredth
inches; the heaviest known since 1851.
Three creeks which traverse the most
densely populated portion of the city
and which drain all the hill sides and
the adjacent streets, each rose some fif-
teen feet in half an hour, flooding all
the low lands, filling stables aud houses
near by and causing great destruction
to property. So far as known 20 lives
were lost although many narrow escapes
were made. g.r

The Earth Cure for Snake Bite.

A little son of Mr.. Littleton of Spring
Hill twp, Brunswick county, n. c.,
was bitten on the toe by what is known
as ground rattlesnake, few days ago.
AS no spirits could be had at the time,
the drinking of which in pretty large
portions is said to neutralize the poison
of snake bite, a new remedy was tried,
the lower portions of the little fellows
leg being placed in hole in the ground
and the earth being packed tightly
around it. He kept in this position for
some hours, and strange to say he is
now in fair way to recover.

yellow Fever Reports.

The reports from the South regarding
the ravages of the yellow fever continue
to show a terrible state of affairs.
New Grenada so far is the worst
stricken place, but several other towns
are suffering severely.
All sorts of rumors are in circulation
about the Cincinnati packet, James w.
Gaff, which left Memphis Friday night
crowded with panic-stricken people,
One rumor is that she had been tied up
at Hickman, KY, with 20 or more cases
of yellow fever aboard, and that passen-
gers had taken to the woods.
Work was resumed on the Masonic
Temple week or so ago, at Memphis,
but it had to be discontinued. 1t was
begun in 1873, when work was suspend
ed from some cause, and nothing had
been done on it until few days ago.
The furniture dealers are reaping a
rich harvest in selling cheap furniture
for camps.

Investment in the Public Debt.

Judge Schofield argues that the cry
about the Government coaxing money
away from investment in the private
enterprise is all nonsense; that there is
not so much, by over $50, ,000,0 900, invest
ed in Government securities to-day as
there was year ago, and that for every
four per cent. bond sold six per cent.
bond is purchased by the Government.
The people who buy these four per cents
are not those who would invest in pri-
vate enterprises. 1t is great mistake,
and universal one, to suppose that the
most of our securities are held by foreign
capitalists. Some time ago Secretary
Sherman instituted an examination in
to this subject, and by tracing the sources
from which interest coupons came, and
by keeping record of where the in
terest on registered bonds was sent, it
was discovered that over 80 per cent. of
the public debt is held in this country.

II appears that that horny-handed son
of toll, the Hon. Benz. F. Butler, while
denouncing the " bloated bondholder"
has been slowing away the bonds of the
District of Columbia in nice block of
100000. These are not bonds of the
government, it is true, but they are guar
anteed, principal and interest, by the
government This investment of his
savings in bonds guaranteed by the gov
ernment is no crime on the part of the
Hon. Benjamin; on the contrary it
shows his financial shrewdness. But
under such circumstances he ought not
to rail so fiercely against "bloated bond
holders" and 'remorseless capitalists.
