one Of the young mel that was engaged
in the disgraceful fight last Sunday
evening at Eighth and West streets.
The officers found him along the
Brandywine and took him to the hall,
where he WAS locked up until this

Squire O'Neill. The evidence showed
that he had engaged in the fight but
was forced into ii by others who We're
worse than him. The Squire said that
all these parties had acted in a very
disorderiy manner, and had not only
violated the sanctity of the Sabbath,
but had also trespassed.. on and de-
stroyed the property of citizens in he
vicinity. The only way TO put stop
to such disgraceful proceedings was 10
punish the offenders severely, and he
imposed Il iins of so and costs.

Mexico and Germany.

WAsHINGToN, ID. O., August O.
The Post will publish tomorrow an in
terview with DR.. Manuel de Mesa, who
was General Santa Annals private secre-
tary, touching the story of a treaty said
to have recently been entered into be-
tween Germany and Mexico.
DR.. de Mesa is quoted as saying that
he does not know anything abou: a
recent treaty between the two countries.
but knows that there is a secret treaty
between them enterered into in 1868.
This treaty, he says, grew out OF
Jnarez' fears of the hostility of France
and Austria, whose enmity had beer
caused by the execution of Macmillan
in 1867.
He also says that the details of this
treaty were never published, and ht
thinks that something about it having
leaked ont has formed the basis for the
latest story of "a treaty between the
countries.

O0Cer PiersOn Captures IN
Medal.

Yesterday afternoon officer John
Pierson, of this city, won the gold prize
medal in the police swimming match on
the Harlem river, N. Y. There were but
three contestants, and the course extend
ed distance of two miles and half.
In the drawing for waters Butler of
Philadelphia had the West Chester side,
Pierson the centre, and Pifer, of the New
York Harbor Police, the New York
side.
At the start Butler struck out Oh the
lead, with Pifer next and Pierson bring
ing up the rear, and at one time Butler
was 200 yards in advance of Pierson;
Pierson, however, kel steadily on, and
in a little while passed Pifer, who was
leading him 100 yards. He gained stead
ily on Butler and passed him before
reaching the pier, making the first mile
against wind and tide in fOrty-six min
utes
At the time of rounding the centre
pier of the high bridge, Pierson was
fully a quarter of mile in advance,
and covered the whole course in one
hour and forty minutes. Pifer with
drew when he reached the pier, and
Butler gave out soon after he started on
the return. Pierson was declared the
winner and received the medal.
There were two others, Charles D..
Wade of the Eighteenth precinct, and
Adolph G. Hasslecher of the Twenty
fourth precinct, New York who had
entered, but they thought the start was
to be made from Kyle's landing, High
Bridge, where they waited until long
after the race, and consequently lost
their chance OF competing. Butler has
the reputation of being the fastest
swimmer in America, and his friends
Claim that he was compelled to retire
from the contest on account of being
Seized with cramps. The prize, which
IVA large and handsome gold medal was
offered by Richard X. Fox of the New

The VicerOy and tho Baby.

A characteristic anecdote is related
of the late Lord Lawrence when, as the
new viceroy Of India, he was returning
to the coun ry in which his best years
had been passed He was in bad spirits
partly from sea.sickness partly from
the lack Of friends and congenial ma
lures around him, partly from the feel
ing of the heavy responsibilities which
he had assumed in comparatively wea k
health. A lady was returning to India
with her infant child, which she utterly
neglected, and the baby took its revenge
upon the passengers generally by squall-
ing day and night alike They CON-
planned is no measured language to the
authorities. Steward, throw that
baby overheard % was the cry which
came from many tempest-tossed and
sleepless birth.
But the nuisance continued undated.
At last the new Viceroy, perhaps he
saw in the child, half unconsciously, a
slight resemblance to his lost Berthe,
gave it "A large share of his attention,
and would take it for hours together Oh
his knee, showing it his watch and any
thing that would amuSe it. The child
took to him, as he to it, and to the great
relief Of the passengers was always
quiet in his presence. "Why do you
take such notice Of that child?" asked
one of them. "Why, to tell you TIT
TRUTH said the viceroy, ''tnat child is
the only being on the ship who l car
feel quite sure does not want to ge
anything out of me, and so | taxi
pleasure in its society" How much o
the kindness and simplicity of grea
