FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

LONDON, June 81. The Sportsman says
the match between Plaisted and Nicholson,
for Monday, is declared void, as it was well
known the scullers were supported by gentle
men connected with other interests. A false
impression took possession of the public and
the friends of Hanlon therefore resolved to
abandon the match, but the men agreed to
decide it by rowing privately. Course and
date of the race are not to be made known to
the public.

WASHINGTON, June 81. Consul at Lyons
confirms former reports of failure of silk
crops in France, Italy and Spain and excite
ment of speculation in Lyons, Milan and
other silk markets. Notwithstanding this,
the consul is of opinion that in the world ut
large the demand will not exceed the supply,
consequently present prices cannot be aus
tanned.
ROME, June 81. The senate refuses to pass
bill abolishing tax on grist. and Senor De-

ANOTHER HORROR.
4 Dependent Father Murders his TIL &c
Children.
Poverty and Want Of Work the Reasons

SPRTNGFrELD, June 81. John kemmler, q
Herman. living in South IIolyOke, shot his
three children aged 6, and years, this af-
ternoon, because he was unable to support
them. He has been out Of work since Feb
ruary, when he went TO Colorado. but recent
ly returned He had been warned out of q
tenement of Gernana mills, where he lived,
because there was no longer work in the
mills.
About o'clock he sent his wife on an err
rand, called the Oldest child into the house
and tried to poison her with cyanide potas-
sum, but she threw up the dose lie then
took the second child into the front bed room
and shot her through the head. Then he
took the oldest to rear bed room, shot her
i'll like manner, and left her on the floor COW
cred with vomit End blood. The Youngest
girl lay on the bed and he shot her also, the
flash burning the pillow.
He left the house and told saloon keeper
what he had done and was arrested in another
saloon by Deputy Sheriff Kingsbury. After
arrest he was cool and said he was ready to
let the law take its course. Said he could
not support the children and feared they
would grow up and enter houses of prostitu-
ton and he thought they would be happier in
Heaven.
He had planned for ten days to kill them.
He is collected and apparently sane. The
medical examiner holds an inquest .to-mor-
row. Children will be buried at expense Of
the city. Mrs. kemmler is completely over
come.

"Grest Cry and Little WOOL"

1t is said that the devil upon Il certain oc-
casion, being short OF wool, undertook to
shear sheep, and not being familiar with
that animal, he caught instead, a hog and
began to apply the shears. But the porkcr,
resented this indignity and Justify squealed
at which his satanic ma esty uttered the 81 acu-
lation placed at the head of this article, and
this saying has passed into a bye word. 1
was reminded of this story on reading an item
in the Argus copied from an Augusta paper,
headed "Something Wrong" in which the
writer makes IA great fuss over the fact that
| an appropriation made by the last legislature
for alterations in the State Library rooms.
has not been used up in making the required
changes. The writer cxults over ii as though
this were circumstance unheard Of but if
he will examine the appropriation book
he will find that this has been Il common oc-
currencc under republican rule, though
doubtless AN exceptional case under the pre-
sent mongrcl executive administration.
During the twenty years prior to 1879, the
undrawn balances of appropriations amounted
to more than a hundred thousand dollars, and
more or less OF them occurred in each year
Appropriations are always made to cover cs-
Inmates, and while in rare instances the esti-
mates have been too low, in most cases they
have over run, and the balance has reverted
to the treasury. But there are circumstances
connected with this appropriation for the
State Library, which were well known to the
writer and willfully suppressed by him, be-
cause fair statement would have completely
enasculated his pretty story of Il saving
to the State of scvcnty-fivc dollars, through
the ability and honesty of the new Supcrin-
tendcnt of the Public Buildings and green
back carpenter.
Now the facts in the case are these: The
Leo lar on he m Int Ia.
appropriate committee, made an nppropria-
ton of one hundred and fifty dollars to fnish
of an dddfionai room .fo, tie accommodate
ton Of tie State LiJ,ury. The purpose AS
stated by the committee was TO finish off Il
room over the Senate Chamber, to be connect
ed by a door with the document room
and in this room the rapidly accum-
ulatng documents were to be placed.
The appropriation was made with this cx-
press understanding. and has the will of
the Legislature been carried out? Not at all.
4 cheap case of implanted shelves has been
placed through the centre of the old docu-
ment room, and this is all and if seventy
five dollars were paid for this insignificant
job, the carpenter received more than it was
worth. | will build one like it in every re-
spect, except that it shall he painted, for fifty
dollars. And this mSi gnificant affair has
been seized upon by the grcenback organ
here and made the subject of a distorted and
untruthful story, which its democratic allies
have fastened to copy and exult over. Tru-
~, they must be short of material when they
make use of such rotten trash. and this is
great cry and little wool" Eastern Argus

Sorrow Of the ex-Empress Eugenie AT
her Bereavement.

NEW York, June 2l. Charles Joseph Boz
naparte of Baltimore. says in his opinion the
Bonapartc dynasty will never be restored
Jerome Bonaparte, at Newport, does not
think the death of the Prince will have anv
| immediate effect on France but the blow is
Il severe one to the party.
The death of the Prince was not known
here till yesterday afternoon. Not Paris
paper had the news. Many republicans ex-
press regret at the death. The Bonapartist
party is overwhelmed.
With the death of the Prince the last hope
has gone from the Bonapartists.
| Cassagnac, in an article in the journal lie
J Paps. after an outburst of grief for the dead
/ Prince, puts the question, Docs the empire
die with the Prince" And he answers in
the same breath, .No There is an heir who
the Prince designed should be his successor,
Prince Victor, eldest son of Prince Jerome
! Napoleon, a youth of warm heart and brigh,
intellect, whom his mother has rendered W or
thy of us and of France. Were there ne
Prince Victor, there would still be the great
| dominant idea, the system which prevails and
presses ITSELF
La France regards the Princes death as
| the expiration of the coup etat Of Dee. n
Just as the death of the Duke of Reichstatd
was the expiration of the 18th Brumaire.
| At "A meeting of Bonapartist senators and
deputies at NJ. Rouher's, Yesterday, sugges-
ton was made and received with considerable
| approval, that all immediate propagandas for
the restoration of the empire be suspended,
but care should be taken to keep alive the
| imperial sentiment till the elder son of Prince
jerome should arrive at his majority, when,
| if affairs march rightly. attempts might be
made for restoration of the empire.
! 1t is rumored Rouhcr has the testament of
! the Prince Imperial disinheriting Prince .Je-
rome Napoleon, and constituting Prince Vie
| tor, the eldest son of the latter and Princess
Clothilde. daughter of the late Victor Eman-
ucl of Italy, Us heir to the French throne.
Victor is 10 wears old. Rouher left last light
