An eminent surgeon who does not
wish his name to be published related
the following anecdote to few friends
who were dining with him the other
day:
"A Partisan millionaire was suffering
from complaint which was declared to
be mortal. He came to me and asked
me if could save him. I told him /
would do my best, and was successful
in the operation 1 had to perform on
him. When completely recovered he
came to me, told me that / had saved
his life, and that his gratitude would be
eternal Then he asked me to what
amount he was indebted to me.
"'Yeu owe me 3, 900 francs, replied.
""Three thousand francs! That is q
very heavy sum. Would you not be
satisfied with half of it?'
IF that is all you value your life at,
1 don't see that can claim more. You
ought to know said 1.
And he only gave me 1900 francs"

WASHINGTON NOTES.

President Hayes will visit Indian
apolis during the week of the Indiana State
Fair. The President has also accepted an in
vitation to be present at the Agricultural Fair
at Neosho, Kan.
Frank 7. Taylor, aged 19, and Robert
E. Barnard, aged Is, former clerk in the Office
of Casey Young, the Tennessee Representative,
and the latter Young's nephew and private
secretary, fought duel q few days ago near
Bladensburg. Shots were exchanged, when
Mr.. Young appeared and put an end to further
hostilites. 1t was then stated that the pistols
were fired with blank cartridges.
A Washington correspondent states
that the Pensions Bureau is rapidly completing
the extra work thrown upon it in consequence
of the Arrearages act. The great activity Of
the Office in July, when II 600 claims, or one
fourth of the whole number, were settled, has
taken off the strain, and work is lighter. 1t is
estimated that about Is, 600 claims remain I'M
settled, and it is expected that these will oc-
cupy the Office until November. AS the end
approaches, it is seen that the estimates made
by the Office, placing the amount of arrearages
to be met at $2S, OOO,0 600, were quite accurate.
The annual report of the Secretary of
State upon the commercial relations of the Uni
ted States with foreign countries, for the year
1873 has just been printed, and contains ex-
ceedingly interesting and significant tables of
figures, setting forth the improved condition of
the export trade of the United States. He says
that the depression which has for some years
paralyzed the trade and industries of foreign
nations was, if anything, more emphatic
during the year 1873 than in previous years.
He holds that the statistics show that we have
not only now, to great extent, emancipated
ourselves from dependence upon Europe for
our supply Of manufactures, but that we have,
in some important branches of manufactures,
entered into very successful competition with
Europe in Its own markets.

Four Persons Burned to Death.

A New York dispatch says "the burning OF
the Locust Grove Hotel and pavilion has
gained tragic interest from the discovery Of tho
The victims are J.W. Pierce, hemanager of the
hotel ;William Schubardt, night Waterman Kate
Raher, cook: and kitchen girl known as Lou
ise A maid and two children are reported
missing, and the search for remains will be
continued as rapidly as possible.
The fire was one of the swiftest known. the
entire structure falling into ashes in twenty
minutes A lady and gentleman sitting on the
piazza barely had time to enter a room close al
hand and rescue their sleeping children before
the walls fell in. The structure was Of the
very lightest construction, and filed with sea-
soned pine
The view of the fire from the adjoining neigh
borhood was grand. 1t burned with clear,
white flame that looked like large gas jet, and
gave out bright and intense light.
The suddenness of the fire was startling. Per-
sons sitting on the porch Of q house at Bath
noticed what appeared to be ball of fire shoot
out into the bay, and five minutes later the en-
tire hotel was in flames. The light dimmed
even the brightness Of the electric light on
Coney island, and vast clouds of smoke arose
in the air and drifted seward. Had the wind
been in different direction, there is no doubt
the flames would have destroyed many houses
along the shore, as they are built close together
and Bath is thickly settled.
The guests were all well-to-do, and had
much jewelry and money with them. A Cuban
guest is said to have lost 5000, and New
York merchant $4,000, which were in their
rooms.
Other burnings: At Parker's Landing Pa.
$1,000 barrels of oil went up in smoke; at West
Bend, Wis eleven buildings, valued, with their
contents, at $4,000, were destroyed; Ramsey's
tannery, Buffalo, N Y, and a portion of Dr.
Diar oahnv tnaI ucrkC lint MfaI,
reduced to ashes, involving losses respectively
of $50, and $4,000.

WAR ON THE MORMONS.
Washington Telegram. ]

Washington telegram
Mr. Hayes expresses the greatest confidence
in being able to break up the institution of po-
lygamy He has been very much surprised to
learn that the number of Mormons actually
practicing polygsmy is 80 small In the city
of Salt Lake there are only twelve Polygamists
Throughout the Territory there is, of course, a
much larger number. II has been Mr. Hayes
intention TO do all he could to break
up polygamy from the first OF his administra-
ton, but he could not act until the test case OF
Reynolds had been disposed OF. 1t is now pro
posed at the coming full term of court in Utah
10 have every polygamist in Salt Lake City in
dicted and prosecuted. 1t is thought that such
a vigorous policy will persuade the Mormons
to renonnce polygamy II that Is done
there will be no further trouble. The
religion, except in this plurality of marriages.
The Mormons claim that this is part of their
religion, but this administration VIII refuse to
recognize il, and will enforce the laws OF the
United States upon the subject of marriages
Whatever resistance is made by the Mormons
will be useless, as the prosecutions will be most
rigldly enforced until the Mormons will agree
to conform to the laws that control the rest Of
the country.

Apostle Joseph F. Smith, in the Salt Lake
Tabernacle, yesterday afternoon, delivered a
furious speech, which has greatly added to the
popular excitement He said the Nor
mons had met their enemies with their
own weapon, the Bible, and defeated them
every time Our enemies, not content
with defeat, have persecuted and maligned
US and driven MS from our settlements in Mis-
souri, and Illinois for no cause whatever. BY
these abominable acts these people have been
subjected to hardships almost unparalleled.
The speaker enlarged upon the part he had
borne in these prosecutions and said he did not
want to see such terrible cruelties repeated.
We have been turning the "other cheek" long
enough, and it s now about tina to change our
policy We have been foully misrepresented
and spit upon. We have suffered the presence
of that damnable sheet among US, which would
not be borne in any other community. We
have submitted 10 its abuse and misrepresenta-
tons long enough, and now it must be stopped.

A Bavarian Legend.

The legend of the wonderful eques-
trian Eppelein Won Challenger, the most
renowned robber of his day, is thus
given by Nuremberg correspondent:
Tradition has assigned him as the IA
vorite of the commanding chief of the
bottomless pit. Ee fourished in the
fourteenth century, and was rival of
the celebrated Counts of Brandenburg,
who had their castles in the vicinity of
Nuremberg. History narrates that they
were all martial gentlemen, who found
stealing more lively way of living than
working. Among these robbers of the
early days this Herr Won Gailingen was
sort of Tammany Boss or big
Injun,' and marvellous stories are told of
his dauntless feats. This is walled
city, the moat being about fifty feet
deep by eighty wide. The local guide
pointed out the exact spot where Herr
Won Gailingen made his wonderful
leap CA. d. 1890, and for the second
time saved his life and limb from the
exquisite agonies of the torture cham
Der. The guide informed me that,
much to the JOY of the Nurembergers.
the great robber was recaptured, and
speedily condemned to undergo the tort
ures of the horrible Iron Virgin. Be.
fore the day fixed for his execution the
people clamored for public exhibition
of him. This being granted, he was
brought forth, dressed in his armor, just
as he was captured. He was the posses
sor of wonderful horse, said to have
been presented to him by his Satanic
Majesty, and to be half horse and half
goblin. The name of the horse was
Black Lightning. When the great chief
was led forth to be exhibited, he craved
one boon, and only one, and that was
that he might have the pleasure of show
ing himself to best advantage upon the
back Of his favorite steed. This being
granted, the charger was led forth.
With a graceful bound, Won Gailingen
vaulted into the saddle, gave one pierre
ing scream to his well-trained Light
ning, which made three bounds over
the heads of the stupid burghers, when
he reached the moat. One more fright
full shrek from his master, and at a
single leap he cleared the moat! To
this day, upon the opposite wall, can be
seen deep and distinct indentatlons In
the stone of a horses two hind-feet-
which proof, of course, is incontestible."

For the forty eight hours ending on
the evening of Aug. IL there were fifteen deaths
from yellow fever in Memphis, and eighty-one
new cases were reported to the Board of
Health in the same period. Many dis
tressing incidents of the plague
are mentioned One man had two
children sick, one of whom died and was taken
to the cemetery. On his return he found the
other also dead, having had the black vomit
during his absence. A family Of eight persons
was discovered by the Towards in house in
the suburbs without any bedding The father
and one child were already dead, and the
mother and six children down with the
fever The details of the situation of
the family are horrible in the
extreme.-rhe fever has broken outat Corinth,
Miss, through which has passed large num-
bers Of Memphis refugees, and all those who
could get away have left the stricken town.
The Mayor and President of the Board of
Health were the first to contract the disease.
The report that the yellow fever had
broken out at Corinth, Miss, was a canard of
the first water. There has not been a case Of
anything resembling Yellow Jack in the town.
There were forty-three new cases of
yellow fever and fourteen deaths from the pest
at Memphis on the 18th nst., and on the 14th
the new cases reported numbered forty, and
the deaths thirteen. Nearly all the new
cases reported in these two days
were colored people. A dispatch from
Memphis says that "Dr. Jerome Cochrane's
plan of enforcing rigid isolation of the yellow
fever sick has been Endorsed by the City Board
Of Health, and measures adopted to put it into
effect Yellow flags will be placed conspicu
ously on every house in which case is lying
sick, and unauthorized persons positively for
hidden admittance"
At Athens, Ga, woman in the pains
of parturition with twins got possession Of
razor and disemboweled herself, literally cut
ting herself open. She died IN few moments
in horrible agony.
There were nineteen deaths from yell
low fever ana sixty new cases of the disease at
Memphis for the three days ending on the even
ing Of Aug. II. The total deaths for the week
were forty-six, the total to that date, since the
outbreak of the plague, 139, and the total num-
Der of new cases 53l. A dispatch from
Washington says that Comptroller Porter,
of the Treasury Department, saws
that the National Board of Health
is of the opinion that contributions for the
support of the people Of Memphis in camp are
absolutely necessary to prevent the spread of
the yellow fever into other States, and that
requisition upon the 100000 appropriated by
Congress will be bonored."
