COrrupting the Army.

MADRID, Aug. 16.-The newspapers
here declare that French spectators
raised 5000 francs for the purpose of
corrupting the Spanish army and bring
ing about the rising. The papers ma
king this assertion promise 10 give
more particulars concerning the scheme
when the censorship of the press is abol-
ished. The semi-ofiicial journals admit
that there may be some foundation for
the story. Notwithstanding the adj
vices from military authorities, Prime
Minister Sagasta has determined TO re-
store the constitutional guarantees be-
fore the King starts on his visit to Ger
many. Sept. 5. From unofficial adyices
in France, il is certain that some scat
tered bands are still causing alarm.

After much discussion, members Of
the British parliament have been forced
to admit that the foot-and-mouth dis
ease, which they have been using as a
lever to prohibit the importation of
American cattle, really came from Eng
land, and was carried from that country
to America. The only footing left is
the gauzy plea that this country does
not properly quarantine against the con-
tagion. 1t would appear from the evil
dence that little more caution at
home would save the British authorities
from making donkeys of themselves by
charging their own discrepancies on
their neighbors.
The attention of Mr. Dana is respect
fully called to the fact that in Difference
to his advice the rascals are being turn
ed out rs fast rs found The two lat
est victims are Col. Igles, who was
troubled with remarkably short men,
DRY in regard to his pay, and one,
Major Kirby, who was trying to knock
out the old doctrine that man cannot
serve two masters, by absorbing a gov
eminent salary and at the same time
assisting Boston firm in abstracting
matter of twenty-five thousand dol.
lars annually by padding OUT the
copy for the postal guide. 1t is the
fear of the people that Mr.. Dana and
his party friends would not be as prompt
TO eliminate the rascals that has kept
them on the raw edge of expectancy
for these twenty years.

LAND AND WATER.
Racing Horse Against a eatamaran on q G
Shores of Long Island.

NEW YORK, Aug 16.-The second
race. between Ezra Daggett's horse
Boston, and a catamaran owned by
Frederick Hughes. to Stony Greek,
Connecticut for 81 900, took place to-
day over the same course and under
the same conditions as IN the first match
of July /, when Mr.. Hughes cata-
maran Jessie beat the horse by 81 hours.
MIR. Hughes has since sold the Jessie,
and it was his new boat. the Cyclone.
that he raced to-day. Boston was to
have started at 4. m., from his stable
in East Twenty-fourth street, but MIR.
Bergh's men were there and the pro-
gramme was altered by removing the
horse TO Harlem and substituting in his
stead an old gray stage-horse fixed up
TO resemble a trotter to deceive those
gentlemen. II was reported that they
would stop Mr.. Daggett, but he was
not interfered with. A New Haven BIZ
cycle-rider was to have made handi-
cap race, but backed out.
1t was 2:30 p. M. when Boston trottcd
through Water street. New Haven, past
the railroad station. The positive news
that the sail-boat had not passed greet
ed Mr.. Daggett here, and he rested
his horse forty minutes. Then he
dashed away on the shell road to Bran
ford, and thence into Stony creek. But
the race was not quite won vet. In
order to elude Mr. Bergh's men, MIR.
Daggett had started five miles in adj
vance of the boat, and so had to make
up that deficiency at the end. Time
for ninety miles, twelve hours and fifty
five minutes. which is two hours and
fifty-tive minutes better than Boston's
time in the first race.
The Cyclone got away from the dock
at East Twenty-fourth street at So
O'Clock a. M, and was headed off by
a tow of scows coming down the river.
She was delayed by this about ten
minutes. Then she laid her course up
the river with a light easterly wind and
flood tide to carry her along. She
passed up on the east side of Black
wells island, and was not seen there
after by those who remained ON the
wharf. The horse showed no signs of
having covered ninety miles since morn
ing. His best time was made between
Four Corners and Stony Creek, where
seven miles were covered in forty-tiye
minutes. Mr.. Daggett and his horse
will leave Stony Greek for New York
tomorrow. IL is estimated that So, 600
has changed hands.

The great telegraph strike ended, Fri
day, in a dispatch from master work
man Campbell. to the various assem-
blies, informing them that the strike
had proved failure, and permitting all
operators who chose to do so to go back.
The end was foreshadowed for some
days. The failure is laid to several
causes, the most prominent being an in
ability of the brotherhood to control the
amount of labor expected. Other rea-
sons are added by Master Campbell, but
on this rock came the split. 1t now
transpires that so far from money flow
ing freely in for the support of the strik-
ers, as was reported, the operators
have had to endure much privation du-
ring the last part of the strike. Not
withstanding the anxiety, now that the
break had come, of all to secure the
best terms offered, the operators. with
chiyalry that would honor knights of
old. refused to make move until the
lady operators who went out had been
given chance to apply for work. This
noble action is a fitting termination to
one of the most plueky, and at the same
time. most defensible strikes of the gen.

1t is pleasing to know, in connection
with the presidential trip, that ''the
geologic formation of the mountains
excites much interest. The conglomer-
ate is twisted into fastastic pinnacles,
needles and grotesque forms. In some
places it is intensified with brown sand
stone into rounded columns rising tier
above tier, reaching above the timber
line into the clouds, and displaying
sculptured balconies supported by long
lines of clustered columns. If the
President gets the papers regularly he
can perhaps assuage the pain caused by
an army saddle and bucking mule, or
restore contentment to his mind when
Sheridan or some of the other fell
lows gets the biggest trout, by having
that description read to him slowly in
/ n well modulated tone.

A Steamboat Case.

Our Circuit Court was engaged
for several days of last week in
the trial of a suit against the
steamer Golden Crown for dana.
ges for ejectment of a passenger.
A gentleman of Bolivar county
had in his hurry to get on board
the boat at one of her landings,
approached the acting first clerk
in plain, farmer-like apparel, and
sought permission to travel to
some other point. The clerk, as
he believed, treated him with in.
dignity, because of his plainness
of dress, and some words ensued
which resulted in the gentleman's
contemptuous election from the
boat. That there was haste and
i'll temper on the part of both pas
senger and clerk, is probable. A
man is often judged by his raj
ment; and steamboat clerks, like
the world generally, have tip-top
accommodations for Dives and but
little consideration for Lazarus
If this suit does no more than i'm
press a lesson of courtesy ant
kindness upon the proprietors o
public Accommodations, it will have
a good effect. The jury "dam

AS evidence of the very great
economy of the Levec Board in
employing labor for minor repair
work, we publish the following:
The line of levce has been divided
into sections and a guard employ
cd by the month to prevent travel
over each section. This guard Is
required to do day labor and is
provided with cabin and paid
$40 per month. Mr.. J. A. Cannon,
who has charge of the entire
force, informs us that one of the
guards on the Miller's Bend lcvcc
has sodded with Bermuda 460O
square yards of levee; in 40 days
The lowest price paid contractors
for such work is cent per yard
So for 500 the Board gets SAT
worth Of labor.
