CHICAGO SNOBBERY.-A curious eX-
hibition of snobbery is recorded in Chi
cago. Some weeks ago an organization
calling itself aThe Owl Club" made
arrangements for a reception to Keene
and Salvini, the Shakesperian actors.
Salvini, on receiving the invitation,
waxed wroth, and declared that he
would not so demean himself as to meet
a vulgar American actor like Tom
Keene. 1t would naturally be supposed
that the Owl Club, on receiving Sal
yini's answer, would have told him to
go to the devil, OR words to that effect;
but, far from doing anything of the
sort, the members Of the Committee of
the Owl Club fell on their knees in the
dust before Mr.. Salvini, or Father hi,
agent, and begged pardon for the slight.
which they declared was an uninten-
tional one, which the had put upon the
great italian. Their eyes were opened,
they said. They saw, too late, the
blunder they had committed in ten-
turing to put Keene and Salvini on the
same level, and they begged for for
giveness, and promised to make az
engagements which should be satisfactory
to the stranger. They accordingly pro-
vided two receptions, one for Keene
and one for SaIvini, and allowed the
American actor to attend in blissfui
ignorance of the insult which had been
put upon him. 4 perusal OF the Chi
cago papers shows the true reason Of
the vulgar foreigners temper-keene
had been drawing the bigger houses in
the same plays.

CsIRo, ILL.,, May 2Is-Adyices from
Popular Bluff give additional particu-
lars regarding the New Madrid des-
pcradoes. The sheriff and his deputy,
Of Wayne county, Mo., assisted By the
marshal of Piedmont, town on the
main line Of the Iron Mountain rail-
road, came up on the three villains in
the woods near Piedmont, xnd imme
diately engaged them in battle. The
sheriff was killed instantly, receiving
four ballets through the head, while
the marshal and deputy sheriff were
severely wounded. The outlaws es-
capped nnhnrt, so far as known. The
whole country 10 that section is in
terror. Every one goes heavily armed,
aud posses arc ont in ali directions
hunting the rascals. The reward has
been increasedto four Thousand dollars,
dead or alive. They are dead shots,
and as they are in ambush catch their
pursuers nnawares.
WAsHIEoToN, May 21.-The reports
that Gen. Raum, commissioner of in
tcrnal revenue, is to be asked for his
resignation, have no foundation. 1t
will be remembered that he took a
very active part in the Illinois Grant
campaign, presiding at the State con-
yention, going to Chicago and doing
all he could for Grant. This well
known fact has been nsed against him
by those who want bis place for some
body else, but without effect.
Nearly all senators have left the
city. The president to-day received
dispatches from Albany which give
assurances that neither Conkling nor
Platt will be reelected.

knocked the jailor down Friday night
while he was handing him bis supper,
shot at him twice and escaped The
sheriff thought there was foul play,
and jailed the jailor.
