There were too many spectators OF the
brutal conduct OF which Policeman REILLY was
guilty in Sixth avenue on Friday night to per-
nit Of any denial Of the offence or any CLOSING
over of it. Ordinarily such outrages are perpe-
trated when no witnesses are present. Only the
officer and his victim tell Of it. and the vic

denial Of the policeman or by a deliberately in
vented counter charge. But Policeman REILLY.

the delights Of brutally clubbing a woman in
street crowded with persons whose veracity
cannot be questioned. AS a consequence. Capt.
WAsHBuRN finds himself subjected to the pain
full necessity OF himself preferring charge
against Officer REILLY. Capt. WAsHBURN has

to prosecute Oficer REILLY before the Police
Commissioners. In 1879" says the Captain.
REILLY was accused Of cruelty to a woman he
had under arrest At that time did my best
to save him. Now can do nothing for him."
Three years ago Capt. WAsHBuRN shielded
this man. believing. to give his own reason for
it. that the officer was suffering from the effects
OF wound which had the singular effect Of
impelling him to acts OF brutality. He thereby
kept the man on the force. with the power Of
induging in brutality to others. until in q

deavors to shoot respected citizen. This
however is too much. To be 30 foolish as to

Waite, who was formerly Washington correspondent of the New York 1ridu1ae, gives the J0urH0k the following information: few years ago the editor of the Press visited the town of Man. kato, Minn., on the Minnesota river, about eighty miles from the oint where it empties into the Mississippi. The river at that point at that time nothing more than brook, navigable for nothing larger than 8 skiff Congress had been appropriating $lO, 900 per annum for this stream for several years and we had the curiosity to inquire of several prominent citizens how that money was ex- pended The testimony of all of them that the contract for spending that ten thousand dollars was given to one of tho most active Republican politicians of that district, and that he was accustomed to pull snags out of the river in the winter, when it was frozen over but, it was assert ed, the most of the snags were left upon the ice to fall back again in the spring and to be made an excuse for another appropriation. This story was published at the time in one of the most widely circulated journals of the country, with the source from which the in formation was derived, and nobody ever ap
 peared to deny it. It ought to be added that the regular $1O, 900 item for the improve ment of the Minnesota river went into the river and harbor bill the next year.

Four guests had made frutless essays after him in the last year of his life. The fifth man stalksd him on three different days, and on one missed him clean at POO yards On a fourth day in October, the last of the season, the gillie's glasses betrayed the stag with three binds, browsing three miles of a plateau only accessible on one side. long detour and stalk brought gun and forester to the ledge below the plateau About 2:30 p. m, on peeping over the ledge, the minds there, the stag had gone. The forester was full of resources, and bearing in mind the time of year, divined the situation. Ten minutes later he put down his glass, and whispered, 'I see him." In vain the sports man looked in the direction indicated. Even the glass showed him nothing but the for ester made out the stag mile and half away, distant ridge fighting another stag. He had espied this interloper and had gone off to fight him for his minds.
 There was nothing to do but to retire below the ledge and wait. He will come back" said the forester. The red glow of sunset lighted up the sky and began to fade; light was falling and all was still when suddenly there was chatter and rattle of loose granite just overhead. They looked up; the stag was actually peering over the ledge, thirty feet above where they crouched, only his head and neck visible. It was a snap shot, but it hit him in the throat, as it turned out on reaching the top of the ledge again they found hinos and stag out of sight but the stag had bounded over another ledge, to lie down and die.

An Old Fraud Exposed.

The exposure of manifest fraud is always healthy exercise. The other day read the advertisement of a woman who plies her trade somewhere on Sixth avenue, and who informs the public that she is the most won derful clairvoyant in the world, having had crowned heads and other notables as patrons. Now if there is thing we delight in it is the society of some of the ''most wonderfully in the world, so we found ourselves in the little parlor at the door of which the good mother spider stood, gently asking to deposit $2 for her benefit, after which sine would surprise us with the exercise of ''se
 cond sight, The seeress was thickly yelled, and her features thus hidden from the view of the vulgar. She sat opposite at the table with a large book in front of her, and said in sepulchral tones "Write three i'm portant questions on that paper" handing us slip This did. She then asked for the paper, which was handed to her, and she deftly put it into the big book and hand. ed back another piece of paper precisely similar. asking to hold it in our hand, so she could get into rapport with something or other, hardly knew what. Then she opened the big book quietly, unfolded our i piece of paper with the questions thereon and read them while pretending to write.

Deer-StRlkIng.
From the Pall Mall Gazette.

In many forests deer stalking has not yet
 begun. In some the stags not fit to kill till September in some they begin to roar by Michaelmas, in others they do not rut so soon, and are eatable till October 11th or 12th. It is almost needless to remind our readers that Scotch deer forest is not wood land, nor is it the class of land which would be of value for high agriculture It is steep mountain side and glen, heather grown in some places and strewn with broken granite in others. At this time of the year the stags will be found on mountain tops and high ground generally, for the sake of cooler tenn perature; as winter approaches they seek more sheltered positions.

Mr. George D. Rosengarten, one of the
 oldest quinine manufacturers in the country,
 says that the talk about quinine monopoly
 is all sheer ignorance or worse. He is eighty one years old was member of one of the two pioneer firms that started the business in this country, has naturally watched it's growth, and he affirms that at no time has there been "pool,'' or any sort of combi- { nation, among those engaged in it. Each 1 manufacturer works, and has worked from the first, on his own hook. Before the repeal I of the 20 per cent. duty the price here was on an average from 10 to 15 per cent. over that of the foreign article-au OK cess Mr. Rosen garten explains, due to the greater cost of production in this country, which in turn was l due to the greater cost of plant higher rate of ] wages etc. Now, with cinchona bark at it's present price, the manufacture of quinine s. | carried on at loss in this country, and ! probably in Europe also. The fact that the \ men engaged in the business make a lone ! list of other chemicals enables them-indeed
 compels them, Mr. Rosengarten says--to go I on. But the sudden repeal of the duty has | inflicted heavy losses on them. To several ! importing houses it ruin. At present hardly any American importers get quinine l from abroad for their own account nearly
 all that comes here is consigned by European
 makers to their New York agents The gov
 ernment has lost revenue, the American ! manufacturers are losing money, the drug | gists have become spectators, taking their
 risks in dealing with foreign brands, and the
