Rifle Shooting.
Philadelphia LEDGER:

~fnlladelphia Ledger.I
The American rife team now being
organized to shoot in the Irish match,
will, in all probability, meet a picked
team Of Great Britain and Ireland at
Wimbledon. Mr.. Frank HYDE has
arranged with Sir Henry Halford for
u friendly match" of this kind. The
Americans have succeeded in winning
every international rifle match in
which they have thus far shot, beat
ing Ireland four times, Canada twice
and the Scotch, Australian and United
Kingdom teams once each. In the
only match with a British team.
composed ofthe best shots of England
Scotland and Ireland, shot at Creed
moor, l.. l., in 1877, the score was 1894
points for the Americans, to 3242 for
the British. Long range rife shoot
ing is so much affected by weather
conditions, the position and physical
characteristics of ranges, etc., that a
great deal of interest would attach to
a meeting between the same or equally
representative teams at Wimbledon.
where the Americans would certainly
not be at any advantage, Some won.
derfully good marksmen have been
developed in this country since 1877,
some of whom will doubtless 20 to
Ireland and England as members OF
the American team, and, if they do
such shooting there as they have done
on their home ranges, another victory
for the Americans will be well nigh
assured.

No Mehrews Admitted.

Considerable stir has been created
in New York over the announcement
that Mr.. Lackmier, proprietor of St.
Marks hotel, Staten island, had pos
itively refused to furnish accommodate
tions to Mrs. jacob, wife Of an emil
nent Hebrew medical practitioner of
New York, and her family. Mrs.
jacob occupies a most enviahle social
position, is a descendant Of General
Israel Putnam, of revolutionary mem
ory, is a sister of George p. Putnam,
the we'll. known publisher, and has
never embraced the Hebrew religion.
According to Mrs. Jacobs statement,
which is confirmed by the landlord,
when she announced heg name he re-
piled, we have decided not TO take
any Hebrews this year; we felt that
they injured US last year" Lackmier
said, though Mrs. jacob was not a
Hebrew, she would be an entering
wedge in st. Marks new policy that
would not leave it whole a week, and
that to admit a member Of a Jews
family at the start would hardly be a
fair way Ia test it."

Missouri, or Ohio valleys, nor indeed

however, to expect a warmer temper

Louisville being the coolest, and Gal

Here it stood at Ga. with a gentle

error, as no negotiations looking to
that result have been going on recent

Remains OF MIR. Eichberg Re-
covered.

The son of the late John L. Eich-
berg went down the river last night
destined to 0. K. Landing, some 20
miles distant, to bring the remains Of
his father to the city for interment.
About sunset, evening before last,
Mr.. Geo. Fritz found a body floating
in the river near the shore, and upon
examination it proved to be that Of
Mr.. Eichberg, who was lost overheard
from the steamer Hard Cash as she
approached this port about a week
ago. The remains were not at first
recognized, but the slide of a watch
guard he wore was sent to the city and
was at once identified by Mrs. Eich-
berg. The body will doubtless arrive
here this evening or tomorrow.

ReA AAtNAAH AoANANsl .N ."
A vagrant ass stood beside the track
Of the Sunset railway at the depot a
few mornings ago; an engine moved
slowly up; it stopped within a few feet
Of the ass; the engineer blew one of
those terrible screams, prolonged and
ear-piercing; such a blast as makes a
sleeping Millerite dream of the day
Of judgment. Did the ass scare? Not
worth a cent? Did he shake the sloth
from his limbs, erect his tail and
speed away like the asses Of Bassorah
faster than the Bedouin coursers ran
back to the chapparal? No, he didn't.
He turned one ear toward the engine,
just as a deaf man uses his tin ear
trumpet, and caught every particle OIL
the sound. And when the steam
blow whistle ceased its notes, and all
the echoes died away, the animal
straitened out his neck, opened his
mouth, and in a voice that deafened
all the. railroad men, and caused the
freight clerk to drop his pen, reared:

now THE MONEY GOES

The fable of the oyster, the two clients
and the lawyer, in which the lawyer opened
the she'll, gobbled up the bivalve himself
and handed to each client half of the
shell, is being pnralleled to some extent in
New York city. 1t appears that last year
u factional war sprung up in that city be-
tween the Tammanyites and the anti-Tam-
manyites over the appointment of inspect
ors of elections. 1t was contest in which
the city had no direct interest, rs il was
purely factional, having no general bearing
upon the government of the city or upon
the interests of the Taxpayers. But never
theless the lawyers got hold of the case,
and although the corporation took no part
i'll the dance the lawyers demand that it
shall pay the fiddler.
Messrs. DAVID DUDLEY FIELD and
WILLIAM DoRsHEDIER appeared for Tam
many hall, and L. w. SToUGHroN was on
the opposite side. Now FIELD and DoRs-
HEIMER claim $4,000 each for their services,
while Mr.. SToUGHToN asks for SO, 500. The
question now arises, Why should the tax
payers of New York be called upon to pro-
vide for paying S12,5OO to lawyers who were
not engaged by the city, but as the result
Of democratic cat fight =?
1t appears that the legislature passed
an act last winter providing for the audit
ing of this claim, but Mayor COOPER de-
clares that Governor CORNELL approved
the bill under the assurance of Mr.. DORIS
HEIMER that the amount of the claim
would not exceed $4,000. 1t isnow swelled
to moro than double that amount, with no
