GIVING HIM WARNING.

Yesterday afternoon, while reporter was
about the Union Depot, his eye hap ppened TO
fall on an envelope addres ed to- j Edward
Ewing, ESQ, Iindell Hotel, st Louis. Mo-, /"
written in a feminine hand. Interest being
awakened, Inquiries were made as 10 how
long ]. Edward had been gone. No one
seemedto 10 know OF care. but one OF the en-
pOy.s about the baggage room lid 81 IN igii;
tell you someth ng sbC ut the letter" hat
is that: ." "N-l woman brought the letter
here and said she wanted IL mailed on the 81
Louis train, As she did not like TO trust il in
the pOstoffice. She seemed very nervous and
wanted TO be fully satisfied that we would
put the letter on the train for her and
from the way she acted We rather
suspicioned that there was some
thing up which We could not understand -
This TACT, taken with Others, goes 10 show
that there must have been some reason for
the hurry u get the letter on the tran and In
order TO cover II up remarks were made about
IL not icing safe to send the letter through the
regular channel. The letter was put on the
train as requested, ana no doubt this morn
ing when the party TO whom IL w-s address,
ed receives IL he will hasten TO pack his lit
tie trunk and leave st. Louis as hastily ss
p"ssib'e, provided he can arrange matters
satisfactorily with his landlord.
This same J. Edward Ewing st one time
testified on the witness stand that IL was not
safe to send mail through the post Office from
This civ.

and received $3.50 dollars from them. They
gave him a mortgage on some land in Mis-

little tale regsrding Ewing. which will be
further and more fully exemplified should
ever the grip OF the law be fastened upon his
tender person. E~ing is sEsrp and he was
very neat in the Preparation of his little

A SAFE KEROSENE LAMP.-The
enormous losses of life and property
occurring yearly in the United States
from the use Of the ordinary kero-
sene lamps have caused the attention
of inventors to be seriously turned
10 the direction of securing some
preventive or guard against these
constant losses. Various methods
have been tried, but Messrs. Harris
Il Smith, of GAINESVILLE, Wis, pro-
prietors of the GAINESVILLE Safety
Lamp Factory,have alone achieved a
real success. Their sefextingui,h-
ing, non-explosive safety lamp is
the only one in the market that will
positively do what it Is claimed to
do. 1t is perfectly non-explosive,
and extingnishes Itself whenever in
position that threatens danger. 1t
extinguishes itself when upset, or
whom dropped, or in falling; and If
thrown to the ground, there is no
light to set fire to the oil when II
strikes. The lamp can be tipped
while In the hand without eXtin-
gushing it. To extnguish it regu-
larry. there is no need Of blowing
down the chimney or of turning
down the wick. 1t has filler, but
if an attempt is made to fill it while
lighted, the fame is at once put ont.
The non-ex plosive feature consists
Of wire gauze protector or tube so
placed in the reservoir as to en-
,irely surround the wick. With
this, it is impossible to set fire to
the oil or gas in the bowl The
bowls of these lamps are OF glass,
The principle OF these lamps is APP
piled toa large assortment OF sizes
anu kinds to suit any uses. Every
one ought 70 examine them.

apparent damage. The reason of her
stranding is unknown. At the time OF

House will appear in the Capi al in
few days 10 take his seat rs Senator
from the State of Missouri. He has been

islature Of that State TO fill the unexpired
term of Senator Bogy. His election is
assured, but be will only have few
weeks OF service-untiI the 4th of March.
No man in the United States has had
such checkered career as Shields. He
has represented Illinois and Minneso' a
in the Senate already and when lie takes
his scat from Missouri he will have an
honor that no other citizen ever enjoyed
that of having represented three iiar>
ent States in the United States Senate.
HIS civil honors, too, have only kept pace
with bis military glories. He was a
Brigadier-Genersl in the Mexican war
and Major General in the war for the
Union. He was wounded several times

SENATOR SALISBURY LOOKING AZ
TER THE CoMMIssIoNs.-The Senate
p-oce' dings yesterday show that Senator
salisbury > started a good movement in
oIerlns and insisting on the passage of a
resolution calling upon the Secretary of
the Treasury for information as to the
amount of commissions or other compen-
sation paid to bankers, brokers, firms,
Companies, syDdicates, or individuals for
services in negotiating the sale of L. S.
bonds or securities, from 1860 to the
present time. What amount has been
paid to any such persons for services ren-
dered in refunding ahy of the bonds of
the United States, and also whether in
terest has been paid on called bonds, and
at the same time paid on bonds sold TO
redeem such bonds, how much double
interest has been paid on each class OF
bonds, and how much money has been
allowed to remain on deposit in national
banks designated as repositories. Mr.
Morrill,, of Vermont, suggested that the
resolution be referred to the Committee
on Finance. Mr.. salisbury would moi
consent to the reference, and said it wa.
mere resolution of inquiry, and there.
fore should be agreed 10. Mr.. Morril
objected, and the resolution was lait
over; but will come up on Monday an,
be passed.

OFFICERS FEEs.-If any member of
the Legislature is apprehensive of the
county officers charging higher fees
than the laws prescribe, would it not be
well 10 pass resolution requiring the
Secretary of State to have the fee bill
printed and supplied to each officer, and
that the officers be required to keep it
hung up in some public and convenient
place in their respective offices. The
fees are plainly laid down IN the Revised
Code, and it is presumed that the lawyers
who transact much of the business with
the county officers are well posted in re-
gard to such charges.

DIsFRANCHIsED DEMOCRATS IN New
YoRK.-The constitution Of New York
says that the State shall be divided into
l2s Assembly districts, which shall con-
tain as nearly as may be the same num-
Der of inhabitants. In 1875 the popula-
ton was 4,370, $40, and it follows tha, the
representation should be one for every
"a, 145 persons. Had the Legislature Of
1876 performed its duty, the new appor-
tionment would have been made upon
that basis. But that legislature contain
ed majority of Republicans and under
the Influence of Conkling and Other
leaders refused to make any apportion.
ment, but held on to the old gerymand.
ering system, which enables that party
to carry the Legislature almost as a GER
tainty. The Democratic counties of New
York and Kings contain an aggregate
population of 1874, 16l souls, but the,
have representation of ouly 80 Assem-
blymen. The Republican counties O
