ST. LOUIS April 27.-Leading local
papers which have heretofore sympathized
with the strikers denounce them for their
actions Yesterday and then failure to &C
cept the companys terms which were
virtually what they demanded. A gatling
gun with ammunition and everything
necessary to work it also ammunition for
rifles was brought to the city in very
quiet way this morning from the United
States arseral twelve miles down the river
and now is in the armory OF the National
Guards under the control of Col. Chap
man commanding first regiment and ready
for any emergency that may arise. NO
cars were running this morning, and no
efforts to run them will be made to-day.
Police authorities have not yet succeeded
in obtaining all special men they want
ST. LOUIS, April 28.-The militia and ar
tillery of the city are at the armory this
morning ready for duty. Gov. Crittenden
has arrived and is in consultation with the
authorities. The entire police force of the
city, also all specials, are on duty. There
are no unusual crowds on the street yet,
and one would not think, from the general
appearance of things, that riot and per
haps bloodshed is in anticipation. Cars
will start from the stable in the western
part of the city at 80 a. m. and will
reach 4th street, if no molestatlon is OF
fered, at about 10 o'clock. Jno. Ford,
president of the Trades Assembly, published
a card this morning, denying the charge that

The audience at a St. Louis spiritual
seancc expressed dissatisfaction with the
manifestations, and the medium raShly
said that those who wished to retire could
get their money back. There was an i'm
mediate rush by about five hundred per,
sons, and being unable to recover their 5U
cents piece they mobbed the ticket seller,
who might have been killed if the police
had not protected him.
Gounod intended in his new opera,
The Tribute of Ramora," to take his fares
well of the lyric stage. But as he never
tasted before in more delightful manner
the fruits of celebrity, he may perhaps,

journals have lauded and bepraised him.

the first representation under exceptionally

scene resembled pandemonium. The men
shouted, the women screamed, and, to use
the expression of one of the spectators,
The atmosphere was blue with profane
language" The doctors and the crew
were hustled about pretty lively by the
Poles and Russians, and the women seem
ed inclined to join in the melee. One
woman told the officer rather than have
her two children vaccinated she would
knock out the brains of the doctor. The
crew of the quarantine steamer were then
called upon to assist The combined
crews and doctors renewed the attack, and
every person who would not submit to vac
cination on the steamer was taken by force
on board the quarantine boat and convey
ed to Dix island, where they will be kept
until all are vaccinated.

Butler read from the colloquy between

the Blind went to a third reading. The ap-
preparation of $256 56S for the Northern

decided fight was made. The bill asked for

reading it was cut down to $50, 800, cutting
out entirely the appropriation asked for a
hospital for insane criminals there, and
which the State Board of Charities particu-
larly recommended. The appropriation of

and for the current expenses of the Kanka-

LONDON, April 28.-Nearly every CON

attended the meeting at the Carlton Club
to-day. Northcote presided, the question
of leadership of the conservative party in
the Commons was only informally dis
cussed. The chief object under considera-
ton, being the Irish land league bill. 1t
was arranged that Manners should tonight
in the Commons, give notice of the amend
ment not with view of obtaining a re-
lection Of measure but securing certain
important alterations.

Lord Huntington, in a speech last night,
said he believed the evils of Ireland too
deep seated to be removed by any changes
in the relations of landlord and tenant.
Those evils he added, will never be effec-
tually removed until the number of owners
of property is increased, it is therefore to
clauses in the land bill, which point in that
direction, that we look for ultimate and
main improvements in the conditions of
Ireland.

A Chinese Riheman.

At Carson City, recently, Yung Kee,
a celestial, visited the military rife prac-
tice. He was asked to try shot. To
the surprise of the military men, he &C
copied, and essayed to shoot from knee
rest, and also while lying down. He
was told he must shoot of-hand. This
he refused to do, but finally was allowed
to have his own way, while, coiling him
self up on his side, he thrust the barrel
of the rifle between his feet and aimed
for the 200 yard target. Three minutes
elapsed, during which time the soldier
boys Uttered and chuckled at the
Chinaman At last, when they began
to think he had fallen asleep, he pulled
the trigger and made bulls eye. He
confined firing until he had made five
bulls eyes in succession, when, return

Get a Home.

We would have every true man build
for himself home, be it ever so humble
in it's beginning. Industry and frugality
and good judgment will make it the
most lovely spot of earth. Theman with
out home is like sojourner without a
country. The richest, happiest and best
man in the wide world is he who has a
pretty, comfortable home of his own, a
family, good health, and owes no man a
cent, even though his entire worldly pos
sessions would not sell for thousand
dollars, and though he has never held so
high an Office as town constable or road
master.
Wesometimes feel constrained to doubt
whether man without home can at
best be but an Indifferent citizen and a
more Indifferent patriot. He can not
feel that interest in other peoples real
prosperity that he feels in his own, and
without such prosperity we could have
no country worthy a name. He would
scarcely care to risk his life in defense of
the hearthstone of his landlord, but let
that hearthstone be his own, and woe to
the invader who should threaten it with
Dissertation. The homes of the people
are the strength of the state. Build
them, beautify them, own them and be
happy. This is the fair deduction from
hosts of instances and is the true philos-
ophy of home making and home owning.

A report that Father Murphy, priest, of
Schulz, had been arrested, threw the populace of
that city into violent ferment. They rose up
en- 'odsse wrecking the police station cutting
telegraph communications, and tearing up rail

of Skibbereen, who at last accounts were en-
gagged in fearful riot. Troops have been for
warded to the scene of the disturbance.
Since the LIST of January four hundred SUBJ
constables have been placed hOrs du combat by
wounds from stones and sticks, and eleven have

AN official prospectus of the International
Cotton Exposition at the Atlantic has been
issued by the director general, Mr.. H. I. KIM
ball. 1t will open October 5th. and close De-
cember 31st and, from all present Indications
will be complete success. In the language of
the prospectus, the Exposition, being the first
worlds fair ever held in the south, very proper
ly derives its title from the leading southern
product the staple which forms the nucleous
of the widest range of southern industry-but
its scope is by no means confined to cotton and
its analogous interests. The classification, COM
prising six departments and forty-one groups,
is designed TO include in the most satisfactory
manner possible the prominent branches of in
dustry, without diminishing in any degree the
pre-eminence of cotton and its accessories. The
north proposes to secure due representation in
the Exposition and share of the benefits to be
derived therefrom. and there will be universal
hope that tbs first great display of southern in
dustry may contribute largely to the growing
prosperity of the south, and to closer and
more fraternal relation between the two Sec
tions
