Tricks of a VentrilOquist.

McCabe was great practical Joker.
Several years ago he was on board of
Mississippi river steamboat, and, forming
an acquaintance with the engineer, was
allowed the freedom of the engine room.
He took a seat in a corner and, pulling his
hat down over his eyes, appeared to be lost
in reVerie. Presently certain part Of the
machinery began to squeak. The engineer
oiled it, and went about his usual duties.
In the course of few minutes the squeak
ing was heard again, ,and the engineer rushed
over, oil can in hand, to lubricate the same
spindle. Again he returned to his post, but
It was only few minutes until the same old
spindle was squeaking louder than ever.
''Great Jupiter ~ be yelled, "the things be-
witched." More oil was administered, but
the engineer began to smell a rat. Pretty
soon the spindle squeaked again, and, slip
ping up behind McCabe, the engineer squirt
ed a half pint of oil down the joker's back.
There" said he, 81 guess that spindle
won't squeak any more /" The joke was so
good that McCabe could not keep 1t, and he
often tells it with as much relish as his au-
ditors receive it.
cat another time MeCabe was confronted
by a highwayman on one of the lonely
streets OF Cincinnati as he was returning to
his hotel from 5 moonlight picnic. The
robber presented a cooked revolver at the
yentriloquist's head, demanding his money
or his life. McCabe's quick wit saved him.
He threw his voice behind the roober, ex-
claiming: Hold, villain, you are my pris-
oner' The frightened scamp turned his
head, and McCabe dealt him a blow that
felled him to the ground. He then secured
the revolver, and marched the scoundrel to
a police station.

The SurDlus Revenue.

Washington Special to Baltimore Sun.
sIn financial circles there is much specu-
lation as to the probable course of the Sec
retary of the Treasury with reference to the
purchase of bonds. The surplus revenues
continue to pile up, and the Secretary may
be expected to 90 in the market and buy
bonds in a short time. 1t is thought likely,
however. that he may do nothing immedi-
ately. He said this morning as he was leav-
ing that it was quite possible he would not
be back for two weeks; that IL the President
improved at Long Branch he would take a
trip to the White Mountains, and then call
back at Long Branch on his way to Wash
ington to see the President. When the
Secretary does issue a call for the purchase
of bonds 1t is thought at the Treasury that
the call will be for the 80 per cents, which
are only point or two above par, while the
As, AS and IS are at an enormous
premium. When the holders of the ac-
crued 6s accepted the extension at 517 per
cent. it was the impression that the ex-
tended bonds would be permitted to run
until the higher rate bonds were called 10,
and in consequence Of this opinion the ma
turing 6s commanded a premium to the
last. 1t is, however, distinctly stated or
the face OF the extended bonds that the
right was reserved to call them in st any
moment.
''It is said that the First National Bank o.
New York, which has for long time beer
considered the particular pet of the Treasu
ry Department, has of late been a large
| buyer Of 4 per cents, and this has beer
| taken by some as an indication that the
bank was taking advantage OF Its peculiar
| facilities for acquiring possession OF TTeasu
| ry secrets, and that the Secretary intended
| to buy per cents with his surplus reve-
| nues."

DON'T GO TO PANAMA.
A Dark Picture of the Locality and
Work on the Canal
Cincinnati Gazette.

DR.. Charles Pietzch, German physician,
has Just returned to New York from Aspin-
wall and Panama, and gives q very gloomy
account of the country and the prospects Of
the De Lesseps canal scheme.
elf any of your friends think Of going to
Panama." said the doctor to q reporter,
"advise them not to. In all my travels 1
never saw a more sickly, poverty stricken
and forsaken people. was induced to go
there by the promise of large business In my
profession. There was plenty for me to do,
but no money in 1t, and l came away as soon
as l could. There are about $50 people at
work on the Panama canal, 200
of whom are negroes. Half OF them
are sick, haggard, and starving, and
the death rate is alarming, although the
facts are suppressed as much as possible.
There are not more than 100 able bodied
men at work at any time, and the force Is
being constantly renewed because the labor
ers fall victims to disease, then lose their
places and starve or die Of fever, peculiar
wasting away of the system. The canal
company wants to get all the laborers pos
sible, and it offers as inducements high
wages, board, plenty Of work, and free
passage. The agents gather laborers up
wherever they can find them, and take them
by boat to Aspinwall, and by rail to Pana-
ma. They receive $17 q month, and the
worst board imaginable.
"They are crowded into shanties, and fed
on the cheapest kind of food, rice twice 8
day, tea or coffee in the morning only; salt
meat once day and no bread, fresh meat
never. Once there it is impossible for the
laborers ever to return, as the men have no
money, and it costs $25 to ride back to As
pinwall, distance Of forty seven and one
half miles. and they are too weak to walk.
White people soon become very yellow, and
look like death, and beg tourists to take
them away. The work is advancing very
slowly on the canal, and there is nothing to
show for the money spent. 1t is generally
believed in that country that the
canal will never be finished. 1t is
about as wide as Broadway, from
house to house. There are some stakes
driven down and planks laid along, and
earth stirred up little, but that Is all. 1t
seems hardly possible to live in that coun-
try. 1t is msrshy and mAlarisl, the climate
is warm, moist and oppressive, and tends to
induce the use of stimulants. st. Louis
beer costs thirty-hve cents per bottle, and
Milwaukee beer twenty-five cents. Whisky
is cheap, and the best imported Holland gin
is only four cents per quart. Beef and fish
are plentiful and cheap, as are also fabrics.
On the whole, the country is no place for
any but very patient man with plenty OF

meagre but Thrilling TIdIngs from
the Michigan Forest Fires.

DETROIT, Mich, September S.-Tele-
with the worst part of the burnt region in
this State, so that reports are yet somewhat
fragmentary, aud, it is hoped, exaggerated.
But there are many fears that the worst is
far from having been told. The complete
destruction of Richmondville, Sanilac coun-
ty, is confirmed. The villages of Carson,
Charleston and Tyre are reported to be COM
pletely destroyed ,snd Ashdey partly so. The
townships of Delaware, Nunken, and Austin
in sanilac county, and Bingham, Sherman
and Paris, in Huron county, are burned
over and deserted. The crops in these
townships were all harvested and nearly all
are now lost. The remains of a family of
seven, named Redmond, were found in
well near Charleston, they having entered
the well for shelter and being there suffo-
Gated. The charred remains of Henry
Cole were also found In Charleston.
A family named Yasula, in Paris
township, and Mrs. Deebert and
her three children were overtaken by
the flames and burned to death. In Water
town township another family, pamed Den
mis-, have, 1t Is believed, been burned. Two
families, named Thornton and Lee, it is
feared, fell victims to the flames near Rich
mondville. There was a gale carrying fire
with rapidity that often prevented escape.
Yesterday afternoon the direction Of the
wind changed, and this, it is feared, will
add new destruction by sending the flames
over sections that had escaped. 1t was
much cooler last night, which is
in that respect favorable, but the wind is
high aud the country helpless. There are
No SIGNS Of rain without W hich there seems
to be no deliverance. The Board of Trade
OF this city yesterday appointed committees
to solicit relief for the destitute communi-
ties, as 1t is very evident that large work in
that direction is at our doors. Hundreds of
families have lost all their property and this
years crops, and are reduced to a condition
of absolute and immediate want.

A PARAsoL WHICH CosT SIS, ,20O.-The
late NJ. Blanc once paid for parasol for
his wife the unusual sum of $18,200. The
pair started from Wiesbaden one summer
morning to spend the day at Homburg, and
upon their arrival at that paradise Of the
green table, Madame Blanc discovered that
she bad left her parasol at home. She in
sisted that her husband should buy her
new one, and reluctantly enough he in
vested sixteen dollars in parssol of great
fashion and beauty. He determined to
re-coup himself for this extravaganza
at the tables, and walked into the room de-
voted to trente- et-quarante, where half a
dozen chairs were obsequiously proffered by
the officials. He declined them all on the
ground that, as he only intended to remain
at the table minute or two, 1t would not
be worth while to sit down. He then ad-
dressed himself to the enterprise Of re-
covering the price of his wife's new parasol
by setting two louis On tas black. Without
following the course Of his losses 1t is
enough 90 record the fact that his Wife's
forgetfulness cost NJ. Blanc the thousands
mentioned above.-LOndOn Truth.

"HELL'S HALF-ACRE."


Correspondence Cincinnati Commercial
Kansas City Is eminently city OF travel
srs Her soubriQuet, "The Gate CITY," is
not misspplied. The depots and hotels
throng with emierants, stocknen AID trav-
elers Of all kinds, for profit and pleasure,
and not night comes down but hundreds
Of strangers with thousands OF dollars are
housed within the city's walls, and with
police force so effortless and inane that It
would seem as If they we're in the pay and
service OF crime, it is not strange the foot
pad finds here a harvest standing
ready to his reaping-hook. The con-
venient border line between Kansas
and Missouri running TO all intent
and purpose through the heart of the city,
yet in law dividing the sections as by an Inn
passable gulf, and the muddy river flowing
swiftly and silently by, faithfully hugging
within its breast the dark secrets committed
to its care, are also important adjuncts to
successful crime, and are so made use Of
without stint or limit. Many bold villain
with pelf in his pocket, and the blood Of his
victim still warm on his hands, has galloped
his horse across the border, leaving the
paralyzed constabulary of Missouri as help
less and poweriess to apprehend him as If
he had galloped iRto his tomb instead. A
case in point occurred three days ago. A
teamster shot o hackman dead in his
tracks. The teamster had twenty minutes
start of the police and beat them
over the line. The pursuit ended,
and now no more is said or thought
about the matter Within the last week
two bodies were taken from the river. They
were entirely devoid of clothing, and the
gashed and battered heads told plainly of
foul play. Yet not a muscle was moved,
not an inquiry made to discover how or by
whom these men were done to death. The
Coroner's jury returned their verdict:
"Death from causes unknown" And all
further investigation closed with the graves
of the murdered victims. These above men
toned are the most recent OF twenty similar
cases that have happened within the last
six months.
In fact, so handy is the river for the con-
cealment of an incOnvenient stiff, and the
State line so valuable for the purpose OF es-
cape, that this portion Of the city has long
been given over to the occupancy OF the
worst class OF cut-throats the country Can
produce, and 1t is now their favorite habitat
and Stamping ground. 1t has long been
known to all In this section by the suggest
i've title of "Hell's Half acre." and certain
It is that no honest deed or worthy act COM
mitted by one of the Inhabitants Of that
locality ever disgraced or discredited the

SPINNERS IN COUNCIL.
Efforts to Defeat the Liverpool Cot
ton Corner.

LONDON, September S.-The Times this
morning says a circular has been sent to a
number of master spinners and manufac-
turers in North and East Lancashire, sum-
moniDg them to meet at Manchester on
Friday to consider the question of the
Liverpool cotton corner.
1t will probably be proposed at the meet
ing that all the members of the association
shall commence running on short time. The
spinners are suffering heavy losses. The
quarterly report of the council of the asso-
Citations of the spinners of Lancashire and
Yorkshire and the adjoining counties states
that the spinning department is in a worse
position than for some time. This is prin-
cipally owing to the action of the rings
which appear gradually to be obtaining
the ascendsncy In the Liverpool market,
which they SO long held in the New York
Exchanges. The trade is paying 10 to 20
per cent. more for cotton than its proper
value, from which q similar clique is
pocketing the proceeds. These corners can
not be mentioned for more than a few
weeks at time, but their constant recur
renee points to the advisability of concen-
trated action, and as a temporary expedient
several large employers urge the universal
adoption OF short time.
