A Bad Female Stock.BrOker.

Mrs. Marvin E. Dow, whose detection in
Philadelphia as crooked stock broker was
made known few weeks ago, surpasses in
the extent and boldness Of her operation
her sister fnancier, Mrs. Howe, of Boston.
In 1880 she masqueraded in New York un-
der the name of Mrs. Marion e. Warren,
operated stock exchange and fed, leaving
$40. 900 worth Of creditors. Similar doings
marked her career in Boston and also in Q
New Brunswick town. At the aHub" she
appeared first in the character Of board.
ing house mistress, and initiated her crimes
by raising" the amount on a one share
certificate of Michigan Central stock. She
was foiled in this scheme, however, but
eluded capture. Afterward she turned up
in New York where she pursued variety
Of dead beat practices. After the crash
mentioned above she escaped in male at
tire to New Brunswick. Her next move
was the establishment OF o stock exchange
In Philadelphia. This last enterprise cul-
minated disastrously for the woman and
the law finally has her in It's clutches.

Wild Animals at Sea:
From the New York Tribune.

From the New York Tribune.
The arrival of the Neckar set ahoat
rumors of the coming of strange
and wonderful beasts. Near the
main hatch of the steamer was
huge box of curious construction.
1t was six feet wide and twelve feet high,
and the ends were open. The floor was
covered with straw and the sides were heay-
lily padded. The box was empty, and two
wide-eyed men were regarding ii with sad
ness. He was of fourteen feet the height"
said one. THE most superb that ever to
America on ship was brought" echoed the
other. The box had contained the largest
of the eight giraffes taken on board at Bre-
under the main hatch, so that the animal
could thrust his head up, his fourteen feet
of height extending nearly to the top of the
hatch. But the voyage of the Neckar. which
occupied fifteen days, was very rough, there
being only two days when the vessel was not
rolling violently. The giraffe was so shaken
by the motion of the ship that he died from
exhaustion the next day before reaching
port. Two of his smaller brethren also
gave up the ghost, leaving five. Between
decks some curious freight was found
among the boxes plead near the main
hatch. There was an opening in the end
of one box, perhaps five feet high, at which
the muZzle Of an Indian white buffalo ap-
peared. Opposite, in firm cage, strongly
fastened down was white lama. The hue
of its shaggy coat belied its name, and the
animal wore q sheepish and detected ex-
preston. From the darkness of another
box rose the white neck of an ostrich. The
attendant seized its bill and the huge bird
struggled to its feet, revealing a body COW
aro r,fkh lonIy ,,lr,, h--rr -,
mate. The most remarkable fowls were
two rhinecerous birds, of horn birds. An
attendant removed a slat in a rough wooden
cage standing in the corner and shook his
hat in the opening. There instantly darted
out sharp pointed horny bill of an i'm
mense length, which seized the hat. This
was attached to black body with long legs.
Then the keeper unlocked door on the
port side of the vessel and pungent am
moniacal smell became noticeable. Here
were five giraffes. They playfully gathered
about the visitors and nibbled at their
clothing.
mo, they were not seasick." said the
keeper. But" he continued, that is
what they do all day long, till they get tired
they rock as the ship rolls-but two got
thrown down once" In pen next 10 the
girafes were three African zebras, dis
tinguished from ordinary cattle by their
wide branching and sharply pointed horns
and the large Jumps upon their backs.
These lay down in rough weather, but the
giraffes kept on their feet and knocked
their heads against the deck above. Their
value is estimated at 81 500 each, exclusive
of freight and duties. All these animals
came from Carl Hagenbeck, Of Hamburg,
who is said to be the largest animal dealer
in the world. They are to be shipped to
Bridpeport at once"

TIE GUITEAU CASE.
What Will be the Next Move-Opinfons or
Counsel, Etc.


In regard to the proposed new trial on the
part Of the defense, the district attorney says:
There is no chance in the world for new
trial. The counsel for the defense are allowed
four days for filing motion for a new trial.
That period will be next Saturday. As they
have been granted every privilege during the
long trial just closed, the motion will, I think,
be denied. The prisoner cannot be hung until
thirty days after the general term, which will
end about the first Of June. No exception will
be taksn to the verdict
Mr.. Sco7ille, the counsel Of Guiteau said that
the next move in the Guiteau case would b.
motion for new trial, which he expects to f Q
Saturday. The main points ON which it viii be
based are that the jury erred in sending in q
verdict contrary to law, and they erred in ren-
dering very contrary to evidence. Should the
motion be denied, an appeal will be taken to
the court in banc In April Referring to the
verdict, Guiteau's brother, John w. Cutie au,
said:

EDUCATION IN POLITICS.

In the address delivered by Mr.. Geo.
W. Curtis before the alumni at the
Brown University, that gentleman used
the following language:
Every year at the college commence
ment the American scholar is exhorted to
do his duty. But every newspaper
proves that he is doing it. For he is the
most practical politician who shows his
fellow-citizens, as the wise old sailor
told his shipmates, that God has some.
how so fixed the world that q man can
afford to do about right" Take from
the country at this moment the educated
power which is condemned as romantic
and sentimental, and you would take
from the army its general, from the ship
its compass, from national action its
moral handspring. 1t is not the dema-
sogue and the shouting rabble; it
is the people needing the word OF the
thinker, and the lesson Of experience,
which secures the welfare Of the Amer
lean Republic and enlarges human lib
erty. II the American scholarship does
not carry the election to-day, it deter.
mines the policy of tomorrow. Calm,
patient, confident, heroic, in our busy
and material life, it perpetually vindi-
the truth that the things which are
unseen are eternal.

AN INDICrABLE OFEENsB.

The Republican Congressional Cir
cular" Committee are evidently on
familiar terms with the Interior Depart
ment at Washington. This Department
is very careful to say, with regard to Its
envelopes and stamps, that anybody
usinc the same will be liable to a fine OF
$500. Whether the Department is a
marty to the fraud we are not able to say,
but it looks u%nclean to see circulars for
voluntary contributions to defray the
expenses Of the Republican campaign
this Fall, reaching their destination
through the mails at the expense Of the
Government, stamped with the stamps
of the Interior Department. 1t really
matters little, however, whether there is
collision in this matter, for the act Of
the Congressional Committee is an Of
fense against the laws OF the United
States, anyway. We had not believed
until Yesterday that the Republicans,
under the lead of Hubbell ("Dear Hub
bell" y, had gone so far as to prostitute
the public mail for partisan purposes.
Should any person in private life dare to
practice such a fraud, he would be
snapped up directly and made to pay the
full penalty of the law, for it is well
known that the United States Executive
officers and Courts close their eyes against
appeals for mercy and invariably de-
mand their pound of flesh for a viola
ton of the Federal statutes. Herein we
see the consideration in which the people
who pay for the support of the Govern
ment are held: while we behold, also, the
IMMUNITY with which partisan robber
chiefs may plunge their hands into the
Treasury Of the commonwealth for the
promotion of personal ends. Democrats
contribute millions in taxes cheerfully
for the common veal, but they are not
willing to pay a cen towards supplying
their political enemies with arms to be
used against themselves. Samuel Tilden
said at will require a two-thirds ma
jority for the party out OF to dislodge the
party in power" We believe the Dem
ocratic party has reached that point of
strength. We can neutralize the best
efforts Of the Circular" Committee in
the approaching election, by appeal to
the great rulers of the Countrywide
people-on principle. The taxation levy
of two per cent on all employees, men
and women, those who are able and who
are not able to pay it, and their use of In
terror Department stamps, stolen or got
by collision, it matters not-all this will
be turned into = boomerang against the
party of great moral ideas. The people
will eventually say whether they want
to perpetuate the Government in the
hands of convicted s~windlers.
