Underground Telegraph Exhibition.

CHICAGO, May 1.-THE councils, fire alarm
committee, and other officials of Philadelphia,
together with a number of gentlemen from New
York, Cleveland and other cities, this afternoon,
witnessed an exhibition of the conduit system
of underground telegraphy, given by the Chi.
cago Electric and Underground Conduit Com
pany. Morse and telephone wires were
placed in one mile and a quarter of con-
duit, and signals exchanged over phone
wires without any perceptible interference in
the way of Induction from the Morse currents.
The conduits were built of iron, and contain cop
per wire shelves, over which insulated conduct
ors are drawn by means Of carriers worked from
the manhOles at each street crossing. The new
harmonic system was alsO laid in the conduit
and put in operation during the exhibition with
out causing interruption.

because his brother had a large family. A
short time ago, the guilty brother died, but
not until he had made a confession, and in
such a manner that the truthfulness of the
admissions could not be doubted. These
facts coming to the knowledge OF Governor
Blackburn, a pardon was issued at once to
the self-sacrificing man, and he was released.
Such men and such deeds are rare. If Ken
lucky would boast of her men and their
proves, let her point to James Sizemore,
who suffered u%njustly in order to spare a
guilty brother, Better be James Sizemore,
with such a record, than to be Little Phil'
with the blood OF a possibly innocent friend
on his hands. If James Sizemore's story be
true, he has done much to lift Kentucky out
of disrepute.

A HALF million spectators are expected to
the Gar of Russia. Among many other
things upon the programme for the free en-
tertainment and amusement of the people,
each guest will be furnished with two meat
pies, candies, fruits, ETC., and to intensity the
hilarity of the occasion, an earthenware jug,
bearing the stamp of the imperial eagle, will
the bearer to have his jug filled with beer,
gratis, as often as he pleases, at the expense
of the crown. 1t is not stated whether the
coronation will take place before the distri-
button of jugs or not; but it would seem to
one in this country that it would be emf
nently prudent to have the browning bust
ness disposed of before the distribution of
jugs is made. Otherwise there might be dan
ger of putting the crown on the wrong man.
This, under all the circumstances, would be
painfully embarrassing to the candidate for
coronation, after having furnished the meat
pies, jugs and beer. To have some swagger-
ing Cossack or disguised Nihilist to wear of
the crown and receive the applause of this
vast horde of fellows with meat pies and inn
perial jugs would be extremely annoying.
From recent events in that country it would
be safest to have the ceremonies to begin
with the eating Of the meat pies. Then, at
some secret place about 500 miles away from
the crowd, let the crown be put on, after
ward the bestowal of the imperial jug and
the drinking of royal beer, while the Car
quietly finds his way within the casemated
castle of Peterhof.

were agreeably surprised lately by the payment
Of nearly all the balance by Mr.. Yelling. This
is noteworthy, as he was under no legal obliga-
ton to do so.
THE late Professor Henry, Of the Smithsonian
Institution, is described as having a peculiar
sympathy for intoxicated men, although he was
a strictly a5stemious man himself. 1t is related
that one of the old regulars applied at his office
for a half dollar. The clerk acquainted Mr..
Henry Of the fact and was directed to give the
man the sum he asked. "But, sir, he is drunk"
replied the clerk. ''Then give him a dollar" said
the Professor.
FOR want of words to praise the American
singer, Mile. Van Zandt, Partisan critics take to
fiction. Her new opera, "Lacme," 80 successful,
makes her a pretty Indian heroine. A Paris pa
per says: "Miss Van Zandt once had an adven-
ture, when a child, with a tribe of American In
dians, after which the tribe all became deeply
attached to her, and she has retained many
snatches of the songs she has heard them sing
ing. Hence her fascinating melodies.
ANOTHER rather comical incident is reported
from the Cincinnati College of Music. Professor
George E. Whiting, for three years past its Or
ganist, having decided to leave Cincinnati, had
made arrangements to give a farewell concert on
the evening of the Oath inst. for his own benefit,
but he received a letter from George Ward
Nichols informing him that his contract with
the college does not expire until October next,
and that any receipts from any concert he might
give at the Music Hall before that time would
accrue to the college. Several of Mr.. Writings
friends, being apprised of this action of Mr..
Nichols. have made arrangements to rent Music
Hall for that evening, and will tender Professor
Whiting a testimonial concert, at which he will
play upon the big organ for possibly the last
time.

cies in the amounts paid them for salaries as
compared with the sums charged against the
union. The contracts with the missionaries
provide that their salaries shall be paid in
gold or its equivalent; but the complaints
allege that they are paid in deprecated East

not less than 10 per cent, and they wish to

PRESIDENT Moss has issued a circular to
county and city school superintendent and
to high school principals and teachers in
which he says that the State University is
now fully recognized as a part of the public
school system of the State. The endowment
law, enacted by the last Legislature and now
IN force, commits the State to the worthy sup
port of the University, and will secure its
ample establishment and equipment at no
distant day. Thirty-eight high schools in
the State are now commissioned as prepare
tory schools, and from these are coming an
increasing number of students, who are adj
mitted to the freshman year. President Moss
urges upon those to whom his circular is
addressed the claims of the university, and
asks them to bring to the knowledge of the
pupils and the young people they can reach
the value of it as the cap sheaf of the educa-
tional system of the State.

Not Fit Guides for Catholics.

Professional agitators. traders in American
politics, self-interested journalists, a handful of

to be a Catholic, ana yet remains an Odd-fellow:

VASTLY above the Spotless Prowess of
which Kentucky boasts is the conduct and
bearing of one of her citizens. Ii the story
be true, and il seems highly probable, James
Sizemore, of Clay county, hat State,
is a true hero. Some years ago a
brother of his committed murder. But
suspicion fell on James, and he was tried
and convicted and sentenced to the peniten-
tiary for six years. He made no defense,

AN elderly bachelor of Philadelphia fell In love
with a widow who did not recIprocate his affec-
ton and spurned all matrimonial advances. One
evening he made q friendly call upon her, iu
company with a friend, and in the course of a
merry conversation proposed that a mock mar
riage ceremony be performed, Gust for fun
The widow, being in a sportive mood, consented,
and standing up with the amatory bachelor,
promised to love, honor and obey him, her faoil-
ity in making proper responses being aided, no
doubt, by former practice. Emboldened by the
accomplishment of this great act, the happy
man screwed his courage up another notch, and
told the fair lady that his friend who performed
the CEREMONY was a justice of the peace in dis
guisc, and that instead of being a lonely reliot,
she was his own lawful and welded wife. Then
the widow took the floor again, but this time
there was no merriment in her tones nor smiles
upon her face. In short, she made it so lively
for the audaciOus husband that he Thought a
cyclone had struck him, and fled helpfessly from
the house, glad to get away before the roof fell
in. The next day he visited a lawyer, to see what
could be done about a divorce, saying that if
what he had experienced was a fair specimen of
married life, he had had enough. The next time
he marries he will obtain the brides consent be-
fore the ceremony TAKES place.

presidency. This was in 1854, on the train from

to govern themselves accordingly. The object
of this movement is to secure the right to ex-
terminate the dogs which infest that region and
thereby protect the sheep-growing interest. The
idea is regarded as a great one in that locality,
and Is growing In popularity. Should it be sue
cessful, other sections of the country will be
similarly Incorporated, and dogs will soon have
no rights which any sheep is bound to respect.
This scheme may prove to be the solution of a

ance with the well-establlshed law. The paten t

first adverse one, If such decision really has been

seems fair to say that it is the result of public
clamOr: THERE'S no law that could possibly jus.
tify such "a decision. We nave numerous suits
pending in this and other States, and such a de-
