LATEST IN THE sPRAGUE CASE.
The Alleged Intimacy of the tx
Governor with a Pretty Blonde al
SWampScOGt.

A reporter of the Boston Herald had a
talk last Monday with several witnesses
from Swampscott, r. L., whose deposit
tons relative to the Sprague divorce case
were recently taken, and from them
gathered the following: In the summer
of 1878, about the middle of July, there
came to SWampscott Mrs. Mary E. An
derson, a beautiful blonde Of thirty five
summers, the wife of Capt. o. A. Ander-
son, then of the bark Danl. A. Preston.
The Captain is spoken of as an intelligent
and honorable man, and the lady's connec-
tions in Providence, r. l. are said to be
in good standing. Mrs. Anderson rented
a house on Orient street, near the Lincoln
House. She was accompanied by hand
some 10y about four years old. At times,
it is alleged, she got badly intoxicated,
and was seen on the streets in that condi-
ton. Early one Sunday morning Gov
ernor Sprague arrived in Swampscott
and registered at the Lincoln House. He
slept until about noon, when he went
over to Mrs. AndersGn's. with whom he
is alleged to have been quite intimate
in Providence. In the afternoon the
Governor and Mrs. Anderson held
high carnival at the house, both, it is
alleged, being besstly intoxicated. A
policeman was called to the scene, and
the Governor stood in the doorway of
the house in his shirt sleeves, threaten
lug to shoot anyone who dared to in
trude He shouted in loud tones that he
was the Ex-Governor of Rhode Island
The officer did not go near the Infatuated
man, who subsequently became calm
and retired. Sprague is reported to have
looked as though he had been on pro-
tracted spree. The affair caused cons
siderable comment at the time,
but was never referred to in the
newspapers. The following Wednesday
Mrs. Anderson was called for by
her father, who took her to his home in
Providence After being there short
period she became insane, and is now
confined in the Dutton Insane Asylum.
Her mental malady is said to have been
caused by too frequent alcoholic pota-
tions. Her unnatural habits were well
known to the people who lived near her.
The woman stopped at the Swampscott
House for i've weeks, during which time
the Governor is alleged to have called
upon her but once. On one occasion,
when out riding, she told the driver of
the carriage that the child with her was
fathered by Governor Sprague There
are numerous other statements going to
show that their relations were of
wretched description"

Mshone's treason is now a settled fact,
and the Democrats have made up their
minds to accept minority representation
on the various Senate committees. But
it is an i'll wind that blows no one good.
1t is now confidently asserted that the
little regulators course will lose his
party ten thousand votes in Virginia
next fall, and he will probably never
more be heard of. The most notable
part of the whole proceeding, however,
is, if the reputed bargain between Ma
hone and the administration be true,
that the President of the United States
proposes to give the Virginia Senator
control of the Federal patronage to en-
able him to build up reputation party
in his State, and this. too, after all the
hue and cry so constantly raised in the
North about Southern reputation.

New York Cotton of this week gives
its opinion that the cotton goods market
is not really in so satisfactory condition
as one might suppose from reading the
reports in the daily newspapers. 1t
says: "The spring trade is very late,
and, though commission men and job
bers are fairly active, the activity is far
behind that of year ago. Stocks are
accommodating, though they ought to be
diminishing at this season of the year.
The slow demand for spring prints has
led to an early curtailment of produc-
ton, which will react unfavorably on
the market for print cloths. These last
are now down to 35c. asked, but it is
very difficult to place sales. A strike at
Fall River seems less likely than week

Old Times.

1t is really not very long since pros
porous business men were satisfied with
apartments which would hardly suit
well-to-do workingmen now. That, how
ever, says a New York correspondent,
was before we got into the area of great
millionaires. There are lots of folks
still among us who remember very well
when the possession of $500, 900 made a
man a nabob. Astor was the only actual
millionaire in the city. Back in those
times it was the custom of rich men to
live in apartments over their places
of business. That was when the
stores were all below Canal street,
and Murray Hill away out in the
country. The merchants and lawyers
who lived over their stores and offices
were quite as comfortable there as the
richer men of to day living in 100000
mansions up town. The elite of the city
could be found in the neighborhood
of Bowling Green, and the battery had
greater charms than Central Park has
now. Between riches now and riches
then, the difference is enormous One
of our present millionaires, with an ex-
travagant family, spends as much
money in year as would have made a
permanent family fund in the old times.
1t is not an uncommon thing for such a
man to lay out $4,000 between New
Years and the next Christmas. In the
times | speak of man who would COM
mand $40, 900, all told, was considered
rich for life. An income of So, 500 or
So, 900 year was thought enough for
any family not given to downright ex-
travagance. Five or six times that will
hardly suffice for fashionable family
now. The world has changed indeed,
and nowhere more than in Gotham.
But in those slow old times, great corpora
tions were unknown, and no man could
put millions in his pocket by the sim
pie process of watering stock.

In his room was q keen bladed knife,

found in the room. all about the tenor of
the following epistle, addressed to the
editor of the Philadelphia Times:
SIR-Please state to the public that
once bright and promising young man
has been ruined by his wealthy father-in-
law Capt. Spared +. Simmons, of Sa-
lem, Roanoke county, Va), who has

Ny heart and soul is wearied and dis
gusted with the emptiness and vanity of

full warning. s. FRANK HUBBERT.

Mr.. r. Mclaughlin, to whom one of
the letters was addressed, identified the
body as that of Hubert, who was care

long in this position, as he took to drink,
neglected his work and was discharged.

One of the best propositions yet made
for subterranean telegraphy comes from
the american Archttect, which suggests
that hollow blocks of concrete shall be
laid in the streets so as to form a curb
and a gutter in one piece. Rows OF
these laid end to end and properly clamp
ed take the place of the ordinary curbs,
and through perforations left in them
the telegraph wires can be run with
great facility. BY this plan any portion
of a telegraph wire would be readily &C
cessible for repair, and the cost OF laying
would not be so very great when 1t IS
remembered that the wires would be per-
fectly secured from nearly all OF the &C
cidents which now disarrange them.

The New Orleans Democrat says:
ffWith track laying about to begin both
ways from Alexandria, and already com
menced a. the New Orleans and Shreve-
port ends, the New Orleans Pacific Rail
road is no longer what the late William
Allen would call barren ideality.' 1t
has become a living fact, it being reason
ably certain that trains will be running
from New Orleans to Shreveport, and on
into the wilds of extreme Northwest
Texas by the first of September. The
present favorable weather affords an OPP
portunity to push the work that is not
being neglected"

1t has already been announced that a
new proposition of holders of Tennessee
bonds, made to the Legislature of that
State, cOmprehends the refunding of the
bonds, principal and accrued interest,
up to July, 1881, and thereafter, to bear
three per cent. interest for ninety-nin e
years, but redeemable at the pleasure of
the State after five years. The Nashville
Union and american, the staunchest
and ablest debt-paying paper
in Tennessee, commenting on
the proposition, says: This propo-
sition is the same in amount
as so and 6, but is far better for the
State, because it will leave Tennessee as
the only State in the South which has
never scaled her debt and has done sim
ply what all countries have done-se-
cured a low rate of interest. 1t will
place Tennessee at the top morally and
financially, and supply her people with
staple capital for development. The
provision to allow payment at the end
of five years will permit the State to
take up the bonds at her leisure. The
advocates of this measure are very conf
dent that it will pass both houses"

President GarfleId's Letter to the
Golden Club.

A dispatch from London says that the
DAILY Telegraph of that city contains
the following announcement: eve I'M
derstand that President Garfield has
lately written a letter~fo the Secretary
of the Golden Club, in which, while
expressing his inability, for various pa
triotic reasons, to carry out all the prin-
ciples of the club, he approves of all
possible ventilation of the subject of
free trade in America" Like many
other eminent men in this country,
both Democrats and Republicans, Presi-
dent Garfield is an honorary member
of the Golden Club. During the
late campaign he wrote a letter to
the Secretary of the club. He has not
that letter with him. 1t is at Mentor in
short hand as dictated to his steno.
grapher. In that letter General Garfield
did not express himself as the DAILY 7ele-
graph announces. He said that he was
not in favor of the principles of the Cob
den Club. He said, however, that he
wanted to see the questions of free trade
and the tariff as fully and freely dis
cussed as possible, in order that it might
be thoroughly understood. Ali of his
speeches pertaining to these questions
have taken the same view. He is not,
he says, bigoted upon any subject. He
thinks that all important questions should
be freely discussed, in order that not
only the rulers and Lawmakers, but the
people may thoroughly understand them.

1t is reported that Garfield is contem-
plating sending Fred Douglass to Brazil,
''where he will be associated with color
ed men high in place, and find his asso-
Citations more congenial." This would
be mastery stroke of policy on the
part Of the President. By it he would
kill two political birds with one stone.
He would throw a sop to the colored
race, already outraged by not being
represented in the Cabinet, and would
get rid of very troublesome and per-
sistent darkey at the same time.

B9liYar's Predictions Concerning
the South.


Bolivar was the foremost figure in
South American history from the com
mencement of the war of independence
in 1910 until his death in 1881 He had
been successfully Dictator of Venezuela,
Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and Bolivia,
and for the last two years of the war had
co-operated with the CHILEAN and Argen-
tine armies under General San Martin.
Thus it was that no man of his time was
so we'll fitted to form a correct estimate
of the different republics established in
South America as Bolivar. Hence the
following prophecy of Bolivar in regard
10 the South American republics is
worthy of careful consideration. He
said: '"These countries will inevitably
fall into the hands of an unrestrained
mob, thence to pass into those of petty
tyrants, almost imperceptibly, of al
colors and races, devoured by every
crime and stepped in ferocity. If it were
possible for any part Of the world to re-
turn to original chaos, such will be the
ultimate fate of (Spanish) America. The
kingdom of Chill is called, by the nature
of its situation, by the innocent and
vlrtuous habits of its people, and by the
example of their neighbors, the fierce
Republicans of Araucania, to enjoy the
blessings which flow from the just and
mild laws of a republic. If any of them
survive for long time, think it will be
the CHILEAN (republic). There never has
the spirit of liberty been extinguished.
Chill can continue free.
