The great suit of Mrs Myra Clark
Gaines is bound to keep the city of New
Orleans in hot water for some time to
come. Recently that indefatigable lady
obtained judgment in the United States
Court for about 100000. The city
refused to pay the judgment, whereupon
Mrs. Gaines applied for a mandamus
compelling the city to levy and collect a
tax to pay it. The city moved to squash
the:petition, on the ground of insuficiency
of allegation. This was overruled. The
case then came up on its merits. After
long arguments on both sides the case
was finally submitted, and Judge Billing;
has handed in his decision, which require;
the city to levy and collect a tax of {
fraction under 100000 less $4,000
already sequestered. This ruling suspendl
the operation of Article CCIX. of the
State Constitution, which limits mum
cipal taxation to 10 mills of the assessed
value of real estate. The city officer
have the choice Of obeying the court anG
violating their oaths of Office, or comply
inc with the latter and rendering them
selves liable for contempt of court. The
decision is regarded as arbitrary and high
handed, and it is generally believed tn,
city officers will decline to obey the wri
and stand the consequences.-Ch icagt

How GENERAL SHERMAN FOUND THE
PLACE. General Sherman is one of the
most popular men in Washington, judg-
ING by the demand for him at social Gu
tertainments. He rarely, if ever. dimes at
home As he goes out SC regularly, he
sometimes forgets where he is to go.
The other night he came out on his door
step in a great hurry He was in dinner
dress, but hesitated after he came out of
the door. Mrs. Sherman, who was in the
hall, asked what was the matter, "My
George" said the General, ~ was to go
to dinner somewhere tonight, and to save
my BANKED, blessed life, [ have forgot
ten where" Mrs. Sherman came to the
door, and, pointing to old General Van
Vliet, who was going quietly up the
street, said: "There goes General Van
Vliet. He is generally at dinners where
you are invited. You follow him, and GO
in where he goes" "My George, what a
splendid idea! [ can't miss following
that lead Van Vliet can be trusted to
find out the dinner-places" Away sailed
Tecumseh, and, as he did not return, it
was safe to conclude he found the right
place.-ProgresS.

The recent talk about "the old ticket
has induced the New York Star, { John
Kelley's paper to take this excellent life,
like photograph of the head Of it:
No one blames S. J. Tilden for being a
coward. The thing is in this tempera-
ment, and in his blood and bones. His
stealthy ways, his secretiveness, his habit
of procrastination and hesitation, his in
ability to look the world squarely in the
face and say what he thinks in manly
terms and tones, doubtless spring from
traits inherited from Tory ancestors, who
lacked the courage to fight for their coun,
try, and were Tories because they had
not blood and bravery enough to be pa
triots. 1t usually takes more than one
generation to grow frst-class sneak.

OHIO DEMOCRATIC TICKET.
WEDNESDAY. JUNE 81. 1883.

OHIO DENOCRATIC TICkET.
The Democratic State Convention of
Ohio held at Columbus last Thursday
nominated the following ticket:
Governor-Judges George Hoadly, OF
Hamilton county.
Of Stark county.
Supreme Court, Short Term-Martin
d. Follett, Washington county.
Supreme Judge, Long Term-Selwln
Owens, Williams county.
Supreme County Clerk-John }. Crulk-
shank. Miami county.
Attorney General-James Lawrence,

Auditor-Emil Keisewelter, Franklin
county.
Treasurer-Peter Brady, Sandusky
county.
School Commissioner--LeroyD. Brown,
Butler county.
Member of Board of Public Works
Joseph P. Martin, Greene county.
The scenes in the convention the last
night of the session was the most dis
graceful of any which have characteriz,
ed convention in Ohio, large number
of the delegates being in drunken con-
dition. Charles w. Metcalf aud Peter
Kelley got into fight with the Hamil
ton county delegation, and the row had
to be quelled by the police. The men
were arrested and locked up. Judge
Thurman left the convention early in
disgust, and expressed the belief to
friends that the ticket could not be elect
ed and did not deserve support at the
hands of the people. The platform, as
usual, reaffirmed 1.-The time-honored priL'
ciples of the party" including a tariff
for revenue, opposition to "sumptuary
legislation" etc.

RTRNED TO DEATH.

A dispatch from London dated the 25th
saws that intelligence of frightful cal
amity at a place of amusement in Dervio
on the shore of Lake Como, in Italy, has
lust been received. While a performance
was in progress at puppet theatre, the
structure took fire and was entirely de-
stroyed. Forty-seven persons lost their
lives and twelve were injured.
The show was in large hall over q
tavern, and there were ninety persons
present. The Bengal light was used to
represent fire, and sparks from this set
fire to a quantity of straw and frewood
in an adjacent room. On perceiving the
flames the Snowman shouted "Firel' but
the spectators thought the cry was real
istic detail of the show, and remained
seated. Cries of fire were soon raised
outside of the hell. The audience think
inc an affray had arisen in the street,
barred with heavy table the door lead
inc from the hall They did not discover
their mistake until the flames burst into
the room. After the fire was extinguish-
ed forty-seven charred corpses were found
near the table, including the bodies Of
the Snowman and his wife.
4 large portion of the bodies are women
and children.
