A FARMERS V1CTonY.-Thc returns
show that it was the farmers of Cali
tornia who carried the new Constitu-
ton. They gave two-thirds Of the
affirmative votes. They voted this
way because the instrument contains
a law providing that unimprovcd lands
shall bc taxed the same as cultivated
farms. There arc fifty thousand
farmers in the State who own only
6,00O,0U0 acres of land; while five
thousand ranchmen and spectators
own 5O,000,0O0 acres, which hereto
fore have escaped almost all taxation,
or have bcon taxed to q very small
dagrce. Then there is another clause
in the new Constitution which filled
the farmers with admiration. 1t pro-
vides for the clcotion Of three commits
sioncrs who shall have full power to
fix the rate OF railroad fares and
frcights>in the State. The farmers
claimed TINT they have been obliged to
pay three times rs much for trcights
aid farcs ns is paid in the EASTERN
States. These features OF the now
Constitution swept In the votes Of the
farmers, who did not like the sections
taxing credits and deposits and dis
crinlinating against capital. But they
took that which they did not like in
order 10 secure that which thcy were
specially anxious to secure Chroni-

MISS AUGUSTA L. DARGON IN
 AUSTRALIA.

Persons interested in Miss Dargon, will be pleased to learn from the following extracts from Australian papers how thoroughly she is appreciated in that country, which is now the homeo of some of the best and most cultivated En- glishmen. Those who have known and loved her from childhood will rejoice at the social success that her birth and culture have obtain- ed among the official residents there, who do not exhibit the assumption of many Americans toward persons of her profession, and who probably would not be exposed, as she is to the charming society of the Government House. now presided over by the Marquis and Lady Normandy. The New York newspapers. particularly The Tribune and Evening Post, have lately quoted some of the t1attering Aus tralian notices; the Post adding, Augusta Dargon is an actress of genuine power" I append a few clippings: V.
 QUEEN KATHERINE.
 Miss Dargon's impersonation of that 'sOueen of Queens" Katherine of Arragon, as she ap pears in Shakespeare's noble historical drama of Henry WILL, caps all her former efforts. In the great scene where the Queen exposes the willy artiices of Cardinal Wolsey, and appeals from him to the Pope, of Rome, she rose to the situation with a grandeur in every way worthy of it. Intonation, look gesture, spoke lan- guage about which there could not possibly be any misunderstanding. In certain striking passages, demanding the exhibition of great mental power, this lady possesses the rare fac uity of multiplying her conception. She lifts you up to her own majestic attitude. The H. lustration we have quoted is case in point. She was equally successful in the scene where, after life's fitful fever, she is about to sleep well, and the house gave her the applause of the most solemn stiffness The character has nev-

CONFESSION.
The Story Of the Manhattan Bank
Robbery.
THE NIGHT WATCHMAN MAKES A
CLEAN BREAST OF 1T.
All the Robbers in Custody.

New York, June 1.-The whole story of the
Manhattan Savings Bank burglary is at last
known, through confession of one burglar.
Saturday night Capt Byrns and his detectives
arrested HI. Glenn Patrick Scheolen and VIM.
Kelly on charge of being implicated in the
robbery Whereby money and securities worth
nearly $500, 900 were stolen ON the night of the
9th of April, 1878. One of them has con-
fessed the whole plot to Capt. Byrns The
robbery was planned more than three years
ago. A burglar known as Little Tracy first
cOncocted the scheme and organized band to
rob the bank, but was broken up however by
the arrest and conviction of most of the men,
bers of the gang for other crimes Then he
organized second gang in which were Jimmie
Hope, Geo. Howard, John Dobbs, Jim Brady
and Others They also had in league with
them man who was employed as Waterman
at odd hours in the bank. Two attempts were
made by this gang to rob the bank but each
failed through the inability of the Waterman
broken up, but Hope thoroughly convinced of
the feasibility OF his scheme lost no time in
recognizing his forces. Dobbs (Big Kid and
others equally skilled and desperate, joined
him and work began in earnest. One Sunday
forenoon when the friendly Waterman was on
building and used his opportunity to thorough
ly examine the vaults, and the next Sunday
he returned and taught the Waterman how to
use wax in taking an impression Of the key
hole.
The Waterman, Patrick Slevin, was an apt
scholar and soon returned the lump which the
burglar had brought with an impression from
which the latter was able to make a key for the
outer street door on Blocker street which was
found to fit and was put by for use. This at
tempt also failed for want of time, but an en-
trance to the vault containing the safes was
effected.
Eight months later negotiations were again
opened with Slevin. Finally the job was put
up for Sunday morning, October q, and in it
were Jimmie Hope and Dobbs, together with
night Waterman Slevin. 1t was thought Slew
in would have charge of the bank on that
night, but an accident frustrated this. The
gang resolved to carry out their plans after
the night Waterman had left and when the day
Waterman came on. How well they were
carried out everyone knows and nearly $3,O0O,-
600 carried away. Kelly stood guard over the
manacled ianitor. The latter gave them the
combination to the safe, being in mortal terror
of his life.
Detectives went to work and after a long
search John Dobbs and the younger Hope
were arrested The Waterman, Slevin, was
Swallowed early and late and was found to be
drinking hard and spending money lavishly.
He was arrested few days ago and finally
confessed the whole plot to Captain Byrnes
and Kelly was arrested on his return Fl ON
the Jerome Park races.
