Newark Special
The question has often been asked, how
Cashier Baldwin was able to hoodwink the
government expert, who, in 1880, examined
the books of the Mechanics National bank
of Newark. A story PATTY answering this
question comes from a trustworthy source.
In enc of the other years examiners were
sent to the bank. Their first days work
wes in such direction that it did not
worry the cashier; but the second day they
were likely to get dangerously near to facts
which must be concealed. Baldwin had
discovered that both the examiners were
fond of horses. He conducted them to
the Essex Club. house, in Park Place. and
then sent for friend who could talk horse,
The friend appeared, and entertained
the examiners with interesting
facts and opinions about trot-
tiers. and while he talked to his new friends
drank costly wine. When they returned to
the bank to complete the examination they
we're in pleasant mood, and Baldwin
turned in and helped them through with
their work. On the following day nothing
remained for them to do but to ascertain
that Baldwin's statement of the banks &C.
count with the Merchants bank Of this city
should be verified. Baldwin wrote tele-
gram to the New York cashier. asking for q
statement. In time telegram, giving
figures substantially the same as were on
Baldwin's books, was received apparently
from the New York bank. It is said that
the telegram from Baldwin did not 60
through any telegraph Office in New York,
The message being communicated over
some private wire. But the response Was
made ever telegraph companys wire.
Who sent it is not known.

Washington Excited over Scandals Among the
l;nlAm2Is

A Washington dispatch Gays the diplomatic
circles are much agitated over q sensation that
has developed within the last few weeks One
CT the last official acts Of Dir. Blaine was to ask
the St. Petersburg government to recall Mich
ael Bartholomew, the Russian envoy extraordin-
sry. The Russian government has made q
favorable response to his request, and Mr:
Bartholomew will leave for St. Petersburg the
10th Of January. The reason given for the
Russian ministers recall is said to be the same
that caused the recall Of former Russian min
lister, Catscazy. Mr.. Bartholomew came here
from South America last year, bringing with
him the lady who is now the heroine Of this
international episode. tits also said that the life
Of the Russian minister here has been in
many ways scandal It is said that he has
incurred debts that he will not pay, and in many
other ways abused the confidence reposed in
him. For these and diverse diplomatic reasons,
Blaine asked for his recall
This sensation threatens to be followed by an
other. A Representative OF another European
government has created something Of stir by
bringing here Italian woman who is said by the
gossips to have been his mistress for several
years and by whom he has had two or three
children. This second minister has not made
the mistake Of attempting to introduce his fair
friend into society as his wife, and it is barely
possible that his peculiar relations with this
woman may be overlooked for o time at least
There never was time in Washington when
the diplomatic people were in such bad repute
as they are at present. It is said that the in
itiative in the movement made to have Barthol-
| Omei recalled came from Mrs. Blaine.

Philadelphia characteristics.


Philadelphia is unique among cities. I
am more and more convinced of it every
moment that stay here. 1t has the air OF
charming cou ntrv village that is playing
at being city. It grows bigger and big
ger, and forgets to be metropolitan. 1t is
{. subdued and demure city. Its gayeties
are not like the gnyeties of other places.
When it is gayest it has the air of a Quaker
at masquerade. It Is conservative to the
last degree. It moves always with GER
tain pouderous dignity, but when it moves
in two or three OF its spasms of gayety-
notably the opening Of thu Centennial ex-
bibition, it reminded me of playful ele-
plant. It is o city with big brain and
great heart. Il wears its intellect on its
sleeve, and buttons its heart up under
straishtcut waistcoat. 1t is city that be-
Geves in i.self, and it nebiy strives to justi-
fy its own belief. came on here from
New York. # had crossed the Atlantic
ocean instaad Of tho state of New Jersey,
conld hardly have found more different
people. Que heeins 10 feel P:liladeiphlt
as soon as one leaves Nee- York. There IS
an air of assured and quiet responsibility
about the Pennsylvania railroad. There IS
q kind of nobiesse o6lige poi:eness about
the conductors. They wear frcck coats ana
have the air of ministers on q vacation. Ihe
road in all its equipments has quiet, staid
p1imness about It. All along they have laid
down neat greensward, that there may be
less dust They encourage prettiness about
the stations.

A LIVELY CONVICT.
An Exciting Scene IN the Court Room at Yank.
ton; Dakota.

In The case Of Knowlton, on trial at Yankton
for an alleged murder at Fort Pierre, the jury
on Saturday evening, at z 80, having sent word
reassembled: Knowlton came in with bis wife
The latter looked cheerful, while Knowlton
himself had smile on his face. The jurywere
conducted in, and after the usual formalities
they rendered verdict OF manslaughter. All
was silent save the loud sobbing of Mrs.
Knowlton. Shs wept louder, and then the
greatest sensation occurred. Knowlton
turned pale, picked up his hat, threw
it down again. rose to his feet and said either to
the United States attorney or to Judge Shannon:
Eyes, and I'll fix you, ;" finishing with = terrible
oath. He was told to sit down. He refused
Deputy marshals surrounded him and endeav-
ored to force him to his chair, while Knowlton
swore terri6oally. His wife threw herself upon
him and enkeavored to quiet him, but without
success. The crowd in the room rushed for
ward. Some one cried out, sShoot him!" and
Knowlton, his wife and the marshalls fell in 3
heap on the floor. After five or ton minutes,
comparative quiet was restored. al
precautions upon the heads Of almost every
body. When marshal endeavored to put
shackles on his feet he kicked him over, saying
be didn't want to get away. Mrs. Knowlton
tried to quiet her husband in every possible
way, but he swore to the end. The court an.
nounced that it would give sentence on Tues
day morning. When the judge said 'the Jury
are discharged" Kno wilton cried out land 80
are you" The defense gave notice of their in
tenhon to move for-a new trial.

Thief as Well as..Traltor.

The Philadelphia Press publishes q ive-col-
umn interview between q staff correspondent
and Gen. Joe Johnston, in the course OF which
he charges MI. Davis with stealing large
amount Of money. Gen. Johnston is quoted as
saying:
ftfollowed or preceded the head of the civil
government of the confederacy to the south
about the time Mr.. Davis went in that direction.
Col Paul, an eminent artillery officer, said
there was car load Of it boxed ready for ship
ment Gen. Beauregsrd, who was In immedi

was there told me that he was convinced tina
the president had 100000 in specie q
Greensboro. Mr.. Davis has never given any
satisfactory account as to what became OF ii,
and what is . strange thing to me, the southern
people have never held him to an account for
It "A short time before the evacuation of
Richmond the bankers in that city placed in
Mr.. Davis hands $500, 600 in specie for the
defense Of the city. There was never. any SER
vice rendered for this money, but it was trans
ported south with the specie belonging to the
confederacy. A committee OF Richmond bank

A Southern Type.

In the south one soon meets the young
man, lawyer,s or editor, or physician, who
will talk for hours, to any one who will
listen of the superiority Of the south, its
people and its civilization, ever the north
and everything northern. He always talks
well, and is usually q very good fellow, but
be proceeds entirely upon the priori
method, and his conclusions have little
relation to the facts of life. He knows
little of his own region Of the country. and
nothing whatever of any other. Young
men of this type always dwell with proud
and endless iteration on "the superior pu-
rity of southern Won en-" Their persistence
always brings the mere fact Of chastity
more markedly and definitely before the
mind than seems wholesome er de:ira-
bic to persons who have seen more of life
and of the world. These youthful eulog-
glsts appear to think that it is virtue which
is almost unknown except in the southern
states. They do not recognize the fact
which is Of great Importance in any real
discussion Of this feature Of our civilization,
that the women If another race, formerly
helpless and now degaded, have always
formed protecting barrier between the Ii
ceutious passions of Southern white men
and tho women of their own race. I do
not suppose the hest women Of the South
have any superiors on earth. but their i'm
munity from temptation and wrong has cost
other women dear.
What young men Of this class most need
is a wider observation and larger knowl-
edge of the world, or, especially Of their
own country. They would thus, IN time,
understand how much better it is for our
young men to be penetrated and inspired
by the idea of being Americans than to be
always dwelling upon the fact that they are
natives of Virginia, or Massachusetts, or
New Jersey. There is really no harm in
these young gentlemen, although their ve-
hement utterances regarding subjects with
which they have but slight acquaintance
have sometimes furnished convenient ma
terial for the use of northern politicians
who we're hostile to the south.

Gulteau's Former Wife Visits Him.

Washington special to the 81. Lo uis Globe
Democrat: Guiteau was visited in Jail the
other day by Mrs. Dunmore, his divorced wife,
who was visibly affected on seeing her former
husband. Tears swelled to her eyes as she
said, ''Charles, I'm sorry to find you in this
''Never mind" he said, and then went on to
abuse Oorkhill for having brought her on as
Witness
She then said she had called to bid him good
by, and she never might sec him again. Gui-
teau, however, seemed anxious to prolong the
interview, and asked of Mrs. Dunmore about
her little daughter, who was with her then. A
peculiar look passed over his face, ami his thin
lips twitohed nervously. Said he:
Gamma, can wish you no harm. I hope
your life may be prosperous and happy"
The lsdy's husband then stepped forward
and shook Guiteau's hand, saying, "We say
good-Ey now, for hope to leave for Leadv1,le
Monday night It is too close for me round
here."
"Aud for me too" added Guiteau with q
CHASTITY smile-and they parted.

death of Justice Clifford of Maine. Judge Gray
is at present the chief justice Of the supreme
bench Of Massachusetts, his native state. He
is man not over fifty-fve years Of agc, if he Is
60 old, and was appointed an associate justice
Of the court Of which he is now chief justice,
perhaps fifteen years ago, receiving his pro.
motion to the latter place ton or twelve years
aince. 1t is said of Judge Gray that he studied
law with the sole object of becoming judge,
and that during all Of his career he kept that
goal constantly before him. Being q man Of
large inherited wealth, he never sought prac-
tice as lawyer, and consequently made no
groat figure in that line He is Of the bluest
blue Beacon street blood, of aristo,ratic ten
denotes and associations. He is bachelor and
a generous liver. In appearance he is more
imposing than any Of his new associates, being
at least six feet four inches in height. and pro-
portioned accordingly. In distinguished per-
sonal appes rance he is compared with Charles
Summer. Judge Gray is 3 man of great indie
pendence of character and also of great legal
lore
