The Late Gov. stephens.

The appearance of the late Governor
Stephens, of Georgia, as he appeared in
Congress, is thus described by Wash
ington correspondent "Tha most re-
markable man, in some respects, in the
House of Representatives is Alexander
H. Stephens. Almost every visitor at
the capitol wants to see the Georgia
member, and his seat is the t-rget for
more eyes from the galleries than that of
any other member. Heis a mere human
wreck-a living skeleton, and Of the most
diminutive dimensions at that. The
weight Of this poor wreck is said to be
eighty-fve pounds, including all his
wrappings He is in his seat every day.
sometime for a short time only. and on
other days during the entire session. He
sits in his seat for hours with his cloak
over his shoulders, his little velvet
smoking cap on his head, and his gloves
on his hands, But if his body is weak.
prostrated and emaciated, his mind is
as bright as ever. His deeply
sunken eyes glisten with an almost I'M
earthly brilliancy under the protruding
brows as he watches the movements Of
others about him. His voice is shrill and
piping, like that Of a half-erown school
boy, but his mental faculties are unim-
paired. When Mr.. Stephens speaks he
stands supported by his crutches, OF
rather he hangs upon these supports
and leans against the desk at his back. "

ADVENTURE IN ARKANSAS.

The completion of the Frisco Railroad
from St. Louis to Van Buren. Ark. is 4
practical abolition of the old stage line
from Fayetteville to Alma on the Fort
Smith and Little Rock Railroad. This
old route, passing through the virgin
forests OF Western Arkansas and over
two ranges of mountains, is replete with
the most beautiful scenery rs the road
winds its rugged course over mountains
ard valleys for nearly a hundred miles.
Even the far-famed Land Of the SKY" "
cannot boast of more diversified attrlc-
tions. About two years ago, having en-
ioyed the season at the justly celebrated
Eureka Springs, and hearing so much
about this wild, picturesque country, I
concluded to endure the hardships Of the
long stage ride and return home by this
route. At Fayetteville l transferred my
self from Pullman to "a seat in the cum
bersome stage the mail bags were safely
stored away, and promptly at two p. m.
the driver took his seat, and as our four
horses started in a lively trot we realized
that our journey had begun. There were
two other passengers. One was a mild
eyed gentleman of dignified reserve, who
proved to be a college professor, while
the other wore flannel, checkered over
shirt, and his pantaloohs were tucked
into pair of very heavy, coarse boots,
evidently laborer. The professor ex-
planned that he was employing his sum-
mer's vacation in securing specimens
with which to enrich his chronological
and botanical collections, and every time
he saw a curious bug or flower he would |
want to get out and secure it, until the
driver finally declared that he couldn't |
lose the time, and refused to humor him
further. As Captain Cutie would ex-
press it, he was chock full of science" |
aud when he found he couldn't collect
specimens he began an interminable
scientific dissertation that was about as
monotonous and interesting as the pat
tering of rain on the house top. We
reached the summit Of the first range Of
just at sunset, and paused
until the sun sank beneath the horizon,
the most gorgeous scene I ever witnessed.
No one can boast of having seen a glori-
ous sunset until be has viewed one from
R mountain top ON a clear, summer even
ing. We resumed our journey, and di-
rCctly the moon arose like a great ball Of
fire, that lighted up mountains and val
eys with iudescribable beauty. I had
taken my seat on the box with the driver
that I might the better enjoy the view,
aud at the same time escape the learned
argon Of the professor, who was focus
ng his learning upon our friend. of the
3heckered shirt.
In making a steep ascent we passed

Why Todleben Left the Russian Army.

The pecuniary affairs of one Of the
Cars nearest relatives, who held high
military command in Bulgaria, have
become so desperately involved that his
estates have been placed under ad-
minstration for the benefit of his
creditors; and in the meanwhile it is said
to have been suggested that he could
live with more dignity abroad on the
small income which has been reserved
for his personal use. The allowances
received by the Russian imperial princes
are almost extravagantly handsome; but,
between their own incompetence to con
troll and the greed and dishonesty of
their eatoWdge, the unfortunate Grand
Dukes are always in difficulties.
The Grand Duke in question bears no
good will toward Gen. Todlebcn, and is
said to have been the cause of the recent
retirement of the general from active
employment. Some years ago the
famous engineer was President of a COM
mittce which drew up a complete plan
for the defense Of the western frontier
of the empire. Financial and other
considerations long delayed the execution
Of the works planned, but last year it
was suddenly determined to commence.
Although the original plans were con-
siderably modified, and some Of the most
important Notifications were to be con-
structed in the district under bis COM
mand, Gen. Todleben was not further
on the subject, aud was not
even informed of the decisions arrived at.
When the Grand Duke passed through |
the western provinces on n tour of |
military inspection, he asked the General /
what progress was being made with the /
new Notifications. The latter feigned
at the inquiry, and denied
all knowledge of the fact that the works
had been commenced; whereupon he
was tauntingly upbraided with his
ignorance of the military details of the
district under his command, and so
nsulted that he momentarily forgot the
special courtesy demanded by the rank
If his tormentor. Shortly afterward
Door Todleben had occasion to send
'fficial congratulations to the Gar, and
vas dumbfounded to receive a reply that
lis Majesty did not desire to be con-
,ratulated by him. He has naturally
esigned his command, and Russia has

"Call the Next Case, Sir"

Forty years ago, Eatonton, Ga, was n

fighting and hoTse-racing was the rule,
as it is the exception now. Why, sir, at
one term of the court-1S45 or 18l6-the

or-General, and a number Of promi-
nent lawyers included-in one batch Of
gaming. 1t was in this case that it is

When the case was reached, all Of the
defendants arose and pleaded guilty.
Judge Cone fined each of them $40 and
costs and lectured them severely upon the
uselessness and immortality Of such hab-
its and the viciousness of the example
they were setting for the youth Of the
country; then commanding the defend
ants to take their seats, with a solemn

turned to the clerk and said: 'Now,

there was very steady market so far as
prices were concerned, the closing figures
OF to-day being virtually the same as those
current week ago. Receipts of hogs
were light, and to-day the arrivals for the
month fall below the corresponding
period last year about $4,000 head, which
is contrary to general anticipations, it
being generally supposed early in the
month that we should have an increase
rather than a decrease. There was con-
siderable inquiry from Europe for meats,
and as our stock of export cuts is COM
paratively small, sellers were enabled to
obtain stronger prices, but very fair
amount was purchased for prompt ship
ment nevertheless. There was also some
export inquiry for lard. It was intimated
the increase in the foreign demand was
due mainly to the anxiety to get as much
produce into Germany as possible, prior
to the enforcement of the recently passed
prohibitory decree, the official publication
being necessary to Its becoming law

ing under light supplies.

FgNANCIAL CONDITION OFrRE CIrF

FTNANCI1L CONDITION OFTRE CITY.
We publish on the seventh page of the
SUNDAY GLOBE an official statement of the
city comptroller, showing the bonded in
aebtedness of St. Paul. The table which
he presents is interesting, instructive, and
gratifying.
Mr.. Roche places the population
of the city at 10000, and this statement is
undoubtedly within bounds. Postmaster
Day and others who are in position to re-
iiably Judge of the population, fully sus-
tain Mr.. Roche's estimate. With that pop
olatiOn, and an assessed valuation of forty
millions, it is not extravaganza that we
should have a bonded debt of nearly two
million dollars. The purposes for which
these bonds have been issued show that
they have not been frittered away, but the
city has had value received. Over half a
million went as bonus for railroads.
Over two hundred thousands for sewers
nearly four hundred thousand for water
works, and the remainder is invested in
bridges, parks and buildings.
That the bonds are only issued as need
ed is shown by the sewer expenditures
An issue of $225,OOO in bonds for sewer
purposes was authorized in 1873, but only
$1S1,500 were issued during that year and
1874. Up to this time the issue has been
but $2l4,1O0, leaving a surplus of nearly
$1,000. This shows the general con
duct of financial affairs of the city.
The objection to the issue of bonds and
accumulation of debt is when there i
profigacy in public affairs and the tax
payers are not receiving an equivalent 70,
the investment. The increase of tbt
bonded debt in a young, enterprising ant
growing city like st. Paul, where every dol
lar is expended judiciously to advance tn
city, is a matter to be commended rathe
than opposed.
The fact that the city is now offerin,
$215,000 of five per cent. bonds, the pro
