BERLIN, January 27.-A letter from

by the Pope at the re-establishment Of
the Prussian Legation at the Vatican,
and will afford ground for His Holi-
ness to reciprocate by similar ad-
vauces. The Emperor believes the
ordinance made by the Vatican in
regard to the duty of giving notice Of
ecclesiastical appointments to the
government, is even of more interest
TO the Catholic church than to the
State. If the Emperor were convinced

LUNCHING Al THE SWIM
DLER'S EXPENSE.
"Hungry JOe's" Attempt 20 Have
"a Western Capitalist Cash
u Check.
New York Tribune

The departure of Oscar Wilde from
the shores Of America did not serve to
check the industrious career of Joseph
Selleg, alias Hungry joe" the ban
co steerer, who so successfully "roped
in the poet Ofthe sunAower previous
to his departure to Europe. An un
successful attempt of this notorious
confidence man TO swindle Mr.. w.
Meagher, the vice president of the
Keewatin and Lake Winnipeg Mining
Companies, Of Manitoba, was reported
at Police Headquarters last night.
Mr.. Meagher arrived in the city on
Saturday and engaged suite of rooms
at the Metropolitan Hotel, Yester.
day he was accosted by name by a
tall slim young man with smoothly
shayen face who expressed his pleasure
at seeing him in the city.
II do not know you, sir" said Mr..
Meagher.
The young man said his name was
William NaGle, aud that be was a
cousin Of John T, Nagle, the superin-
tend4nt Of the Keewatin gold mines.
He asserted that he had seen Mr..
Meagher on a trip that he had made
to the mines last summer. Several
features and tolerable accurate de
scription of the mines lulled Mr..
Meagher's suspicious, and the West
ern fnancier aud the fictitious nephew
Of his superintendent, whose de-
scription answers to that Of Hungry
Joe continued their walk down the
crowded street, chatting gayly. When
opposite the City Hall third nan I,
wearing full whiskers and we'll dress
ed, confronted the two men. He spoke
to Hungry Joe" and presented him
with q bill. The latter stamped his
foot, ran his hands through his hair
and after vaiuly trying to beg of from
his creditar, pulled out his pocket
book, He produced q check on the
Park Bank Tor $500, and appealed to
Mr.. Meagher, ioT" Apaven'a sake to
help him get rid OF his creditor by
cashing 1t.
ut is after bank hours, and | cant
get the money otherwise" he said.
Mr.. Meagher expressed a perfect
willingness to oblige his new friend
but said he would have hrst to return
to the Metropolitan Hotel, where he
had loft a. his money. This state
ment put the tgo banco men in a good
humor, and the whiskered creditor
invited Mr.. Meagher and his friend Ia
the Astor House. A sumntuous
luncheon, costing $40, was served al
the expense Of the creditor. When
the bill was paid the three men GOT
into a carriage and drove to tho Met
ropOlitah H6tel, On the way a suspi-
Oion that all was not right
again rose In the mind Of the
man from Manitoba, and at
the hotel he told his friends that he
thought that they were playing him
for q fool" They expressed the W.
most indignation and began to make a
disturbance, when Mr., MeaGher started
to report his experience to the police
aud ask their assistance in determining
the character of the check. At this
action the two swindlers hastily de-
csmped.
The mines Of which Neaghey is
Vice President are situated on an
island in Lake Winnipeg. He thought
that the knpwedge that Hungry
Joe" displayed of their surroundings
must have been gained by reading a
descriptive circular of them.

SLAUGHTER ACQUITTED
In lhe United states Circuit
Court at Fort SniIh.

The following from the Fort Smith
Elevator, of the 26th, will be read
with interest in this vicinity, as the
MIR. Slaughter mentioned is son Of
Colonel D. G. Slaughter, now of this
county and formerly of Upton:
Nothing Of note has transpired in
the United States Court since our last
report, except the disposition Of the
Slaughter gage, WHICH was pending at
the time we went to press last week
In justice to Mr.. Slaughter we give a
brief statement of the facts in the case
as developed at the trial, which re
suited in his acquital on last Saturday
evening, the jury being out not more
than twenty minutes, Defendant was
charged with the murder Of one Wm.
Willis in the Chickasaw nation in
1876. 1t appears Willis came
to the house of a Mr.. Windham,
where Slaughter aud his wife were
living; that Willis was drunk, and
conducted himself in very rude
manner, saying he intended to kill
some man there before he left Joe
Hardwick. citizen of the Nation,
was there, and as Willis had previous
ly shot and wounded him badly it va:
thought he was the man referred to il
the threats. Hardwick, knowing the
desperate nature of Willis when in his
cups, mounted his horse and left
while Slaughter had Willis arounC
back OF the house endeavoring to quie
him, After Hardwick's departur,
Willis continued to behave badly, ant
! finally attacked Slaughter with a knife

A BILL has been introduced in the
Legislature providing for the estab-
lishmeut Of an insane asylum in East
Tennessee, and appropriating $4,000
for that purpose The highest con
siderations Of humanity demand the
passage of such a bill. There are
county jails full Of insane people, be
cause of the insufficient accommoda
ticns at Nashville. In 1873 an act
was passed providing for the
erection of branch insane asylums
in Fast and West Tennessee
The commissioners appointed
went so far as to purchase the Lyons
farm property, four miles west of
Knoxville, and to lay the foundation
for building, Some steps were taken
toward securing site in West Ten
nessee, but the centraliziug ideas Of
Middle Tennessee prevailed, and the
next Legislature stopped the work
The necessity for these branches has
since become urgent, and is now ad-
mitted by all who are competent
to judge. There is no par
ticular move to revive the
the West Tennessee branch, but we
hope that Mr., Bearden' s bill will PASS.
People Of sane minds 60 to East Fem
nessee every summer for their health,
and it might be beneficial for the un-
fortunates of diseased minds to have
such change Of climate. The ostab-
lishment Of branch for this end Of
the State, however desirable, can bo
postponed and our insane sent TO
Nashville or Knoxville. This is a
very serious question. We have here in
Shelby county a large number of in
sane, some Of them in the Jail, others
at the county poerhouse. The same
state Of affairs prevails In various
other counties. There are over SOC
insane people in the State, over and
above the capacity of the asylum al
Nashville. Eurely this fact calls fol
prompt action at the haHds Of the
Legislature. The most feasible
and humane thing sheat esr
be done is to build the Lyon.
View asylum as soon as possible, and
provide for the worst cases in jails and
poorhOases. Everything cannot be done
at once. The claims Of West y oosstt Tepnes
see will also be recognized in due time
Let East Tennessee have this asylum
now and we will take our chances as tC
the West Tennessee branch. These
charitable institutions are not estab
lished to make offices or fol
the benefit of any par
ticular locality There should be
no local or sectional policy In suct
matters. The State is a unit and al
its citizens should have a voice and
