We are on the trail said to have been followed
by Daniel Boone and his daring followers who
crossed from Virginia to these wilds and founded
the great west. The great hunter has left his
name here but he had too much sense to STAY
long, and pushed on to the blue grass region
ADVENTURE WITH MOUNTAIN WIDOW
We were unable to find q place to stay be-
fore dark, for want Of feed. We heard of q
thrifty widow farther on who kept travellers
sometimes. My companion, who is handsome
man and a lawyer besides, realizing our extrem-
ity as twilight deepened, had framed one Of his
most melting speeches to be fred off at the
widow at sight, He recited it with great glee
and made, no doubt, that the doors of her hospit-
able mansion would be promptly opened to u.s.
We shortly arrived. My legal friend leaped out
and confidently opened the gate. half-dozen
savage dogs jumped up and barked fiercely at
him. A powerful woman of stern and forbid
ding aspect came out armed with club. The
lawyer attempted to make his plea, but the
dogs drowned his voice and the gathering shad-
0ws Of evening obscured his handsome face.
Could she have heard that pleading voice, or
looked upon that taking countenance it might
have been otherwise As it was she shouted,
Ego on, we don't keep nobody here" Clearly
there was no chance for appeal nor arrest ofjudg-
ment, nor any diat0ry plea whateyerin that court.
The pride of my companion was stung. His
irresistible eloqnence and persuasive charms Of
manner and person were lost in these wild re-
cesses like flowers on the desert air. He only
murmured 1T might have been;n and took up
the march of life again, and little later recited
the advice Of the Elder Weller, "Samivel, be-
ware OF the vidders." Two miles on, we were
lospst ably entertained. The house had only
one ropm. and there were eight. big and little,
men, women and children. We sat around the
big flrS place and talked till bedtime. Then the
Eomeli went out and no retired. Lated. the

according to the Baltimore American the men,

Of other matters which may possibly come out
In debate (should charges against the high
churchmen be made) will be that low church
men have also violated the canons, sanctioned
Objectionable practices In their churches. DC. In
this particular are mentioned, Rev. Julius E.
Grammar, DID,, rector Of st. Peters; Rev. DR..
Campbell Fair rector of the church of the As
censiOn; and Rev. DR.. A. NJ. Randolph rector Of
Emmanuel church, Baltimore. The charges
against DR.. Grammer would be his participating
in the Moody and Sankey meetings and other
services yerging on Methodism; and Of having
allowed Methodist minister to perform an off,
cial act-a marriage ceremony-in st. Peters.
In case of DR.. Randolph his theology is queS-

doubt, before Witness of 'baptismal regenera-

THE FLOOD.

Memphis, 2I.-The river is
stationary at point eleven inches
below the highest mark of the
season. 1t has rained steadily this
evening, but it is thought it Will not
effect the river.
VicksDurg, 21.-The basin of the
Sunfower River, 200 by 40 miles,
and embracing SIX nayigable
streams. IS entirely submerged. The
population of the basin is over
100000, and it is one of the best
cotton districts in the south.
Water IN parts of the basin
is encrOaching upon the house tops,
and the people are escaping on
RATS. At Gains Landing, rations
are only given out when the boat is
hailed, or when people are known
to be in actual need. So far there
has been nowhere manifested ads
position to impose on government
in this mission of charity. MANY
a planter was found like JamisOn
on cold water: "Dont put off
pound at my place" he said, "I can
get my people through this, they are
all safe upon the gin house;
but there is lots of poor people
above that will starve unless help
gets to them. 1t is a matter of
pride with the large planters to get
along independently, and at tue
same time to take care Of their peo-
pie, as they term the negro tenants.
Some of them have to ask for a lit
tie help, but only to tide them over
till they can get supplies from
Yicksburg. Another planter, Geo.
w. Starr, refused to take anything
in the way of supplies, but begged
for a newspaper, saying he would
rather have paper than a barrel of

Growing Dissrusf.

Chicago, 21.-TSmeS y lshington:
There is q growing dis ust among
South American diplomats residing
here, and other of our diplomats in
their country, created mainly by the
recent developments regarding
"Credit Industriel," DryfuS Bros.
and other similar private claims in
Peru. Not to put too fine point on
1t, our representatives in South
America, particularly in Chill and
Peru, are no longer regarded as le-
gltlmate diplomats, but as unscru-
puloUs agents, American and Pari-
sian shylocks, intent only on getting
a pound Of flesh nearest the Peru
Wan heart. 1t was remarked the
other evening by prOmi-
nent South American diplomat
that Mr.. Trescott's treaty of
peace called for large cession from
Peru In money, lands and guanO
than Chilli originally demanded or
ever expected, and that a settle
ment far more favorable to Peru
might have been made but for the
interference OF Trescott. Intima-
tons are frequently heard to the
egect that our Mediators have left
the service of the Credit Industrial,
Dreyfus Brothers combination, and
other private claimants Of Peruvian
estate. and entered into the service
of Chill, the greatest claimant of
all. The report that Dreyfus
Brothers claim of $16,OOO,oOO against
Peru, admitted and endorsed by
both Pierola and PredO, has been
incorporated with the Credit Indus
triel, lis variously commented upon,
and the fact that President GreVy.
formerly we'll paid attorney Of
Dreyfus Brothers has requested Mr..
Morton to urge upon our govern
ment the prepriety of a joint inter
vention on the part of France and
the United States in South Ameri-
can affairs, is condemned in the
strongest terms. General Hurlbut'S
resignation, received at the state
department and accepted, was in
reply to a request for the same.
General Adams, minister to Bolivia,
also has been recalled.

Urging Prompt action

Chicago, 21.-T The Tribune says:
It is to be hoped the republicans in
the House will not commit the seri-
Gus blunder of delaying the passage
of the Chinese bill passed last weak
by the Senate. According to inf0r-
nation received in Washington,
there exists an emergency which
should insure the immediate pas
sage of the bill. Companies en-
gagged in the Importation of Chinese
coolies have, in anticipation of the
enactment of the prohibitOry law,
made extensive Preparations for
landing semi.slave IabOrers by thou
sands on the Pacific Coast. They
have arranged to take the first adj
vantage OF any delay by Congress
in passing the law restricting Chi
nese immigration, and this. project
is SAID u enjoy the cooperation Of
some United States consuls in
China, in the wholesale issue of
immigration certificates. The
prOmptness of the Sena,a in dealing
with the Chinese question should be
initiated 10y the House.

The Chinese Bill Question.

New York, 21.-The Commercial
Advertisers Washington correspon-
dent says: Some Of the friends of
the Chinese bill are very much dis
turbed over the report that the Pre-
sident does not look with favor
upon some of the provisions of the
pending bill. Of course, he has said
nothing to indicate what his actual
position is as regards the measure,
or what he will do if the bill is pre-
sented to him for signature; but,
nevertheless, there is an uneasy
feeling that he does not take the ex-
treme view of the danger Of allow
ing the Chinese TO come into the
United States after a few years that
the advocates of the measure do.
The opinion is quite general among
members of the diplomatic corps
that the passage of this bill will re-
dound TO the commercial injury of
the United States in the not distant
future. 1t is suspected from certain
remarks current, that Secretary of
Sta'e Frelinghuysen does not be-
lev that the limit when the
Chinese can again come to this
country ought to be fixed at Wenty

a large audience. An address on
aggressive Christian Work WAS
delivered by Rev. Dr. Macarthur.
The speaker expressed a decided

and that the senators should be re-
buked by the Christian churches
throughout the country. An old

Washington, 21.-J. r. Shipherd,
before the House foreign commit
tee, to-day, asserted that his sickness
was bona fde. He asserted that he
was truthful man. The chairman
assured him the committee believed
he had not been trifiing. On being
asked for the missing letters of May
21St and 18th and 31st, and June 4th.
he looked through the files and an
nounced that there must be some
fatality as he could not find the let
ter OF May Dist. The others were
found. 1t was decided to let him
obtain the missing copy at some fu-
ture time.
Chairman-And you proceeded to
purchase him? AnSwer-No, sir;
simply to prevent him from selling
himself viciously and determinedly
against the United States. ] re-
cognized the fact that it would be
necessary to assure him that it
would, in future, result advantage
Ously TO himself and friends if he
did not oppose.
Chairman-Then if he acted in
good faith it was your purpose to do
your part of such arrangement?
AnsWer-To that effect, yes.
Shipherd was then Questioned in
regard TO his interview with Secre-
tary Blaine, and replied: The in
terView took place at Blaine's
residence in this city, on the
evening of July 25th. 1t lasted IN
til late hour and was resumed
next morning. The chairman
asked: Will you please state who
were present at that interview? ?
Shipherd, am met at this point by
embarrassment, because there was
present a senator of the United
States.
Chairman replied-We do not
propose at this time to investigate
as to any senator, but we are not
disposed TO refrain from inquiring
into the interview because of Il
senator. (Shipherd stated that
the interview was exclusively
between himself and the secre-
tary, the senator not being
present in any sense as participator
in the interview. On being asked
how this interview was brought
about, Shipherd replied: 1t was oW-
ing to the kind offices of the senator
alluded to.

the Chicago and Union Office which,
under orders, maintained the rate
at 81. The Wabash and Rock Island
roads led the cutting. The existence
of POO of the Wabash cheap fare I'M
