A Military Novel.

WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE military
novel, "The Red Acorn" by John Nc.
Elroy, Of the Toledo Blade, has been placed
on sale in Washington, and is attracting
much attention. The fact that "Anderson-
ville," by the same author, reached sale
Of fifty thousand copies, gives substantial
evidence OF the authors merit The pres.
ent is a story OF the First Division Of the
Fourteenth Corps, which, under General
George II. Thomas, formed the nucleus oi
the Army OF the Cumberland. All Of
the characters in the story are real. Aside
from the interest Of the narrative, the
graphic description Of everyday life in the
camp, on the march and in actual battle,
are such as make the book valuable to
the young readers Of the country, who
know nothing Of the great struggle which
shook the continent, except as tradition.
Many Of the latter class, and many vet
Grams Of :he army, will thank Mr.. McElroy
Tor his story.

from their minds altogether anything that
they had read or heard OF in connection
with the case, and be guided by the evil
dence produced at the trial.
Porter described the crime as one OF un.

details OF the affair, and paid warm
tribute TO the character and life OF Burke
and Cavendish.

New YoRx, April 1.-THE sensational

Newark, N. j., merchant, who is a
pupil in the private school Of Miss
Comstock, West Fortieth street. This
young lady few days ago wrote a
friend for one OF these alarms, and he
mailed it to her. It was OF a simple nature
and exploded by conclusion. The force
was slight and harmless, the intention
being to merely awaken the household

the residence. The young lady to whom 1t
asaddressed was expecting It and had call.
ed for it this morning. Miss Nellie Gould,
daughter Of Jay Gould, was pupil in Miss
Comstock's school In 1877, but since has
pursued her studies at home. The affair
had nothing whatever to do with Mr.. J.
Gould or any member OF his family.

ldleness in some measure seems 10 be an

ley, going ahead with leaps and bounds, and
In this wider field everybody Is at work.
The native laborer finds employment in

and occupations which grow out OF the new
life oi. the valley. The native Of the capital
has not yet determined to try his
fortune in industrial enterprises. With
regard to the general result, it
matters little by whom the wheels
are set in motion, or by whom driven, and
yet, for one, Iwould like TO see the sons
reaping comfort and wealth where their
tathers lived before the harvest was ripe.

of 1t to make itself felt il it were intelligent

Fight over AN Actress.
NEw YORK, April 1.-THE story goes to-.
night that duel was all but fought be-
tween two fashionable young men Of prom

out Of acertain bouquet sent to'Madame
Theo, who is now singing in opera bouffe
at the Casino. 0ne Of the dudes had be.
come acquainted with Nine. Theo in
Paris, and anxious 10 renew the aequaint.
ance he paved his way with bouquets. He
was finally rewarded by an invitation to
call on Madame Theo, and after that his
bouquets and calls became very frequent.
He seemed, in fact, good deal impressed.
But his means were not ample, and the
strain Of mighty nosegays began to tell on
his purse. He was 80 proud OF the friend.

to mitigate his devotion, and he still
kept up the rain OF flowers,

friend Dude No. 2, who was very rich and
wanted an invitation to meet Mime. Theo,
1t would be q grand idea to work him for "a

for an introduction, the second Dude gave
the first one an order for very expensive
floral design for the songstress. So the two
Dudes ordered the flowers, but instead Of
putting his friends card on them, he put
on his own. AT a subsequent supper at the
Brunswick Madame Theo unwittingly ex.

struck at his friends duplicity. He swore
by his gaiter tops he would have his rivals
"blud." A meeting was appointed, but

RIcnMoSD, Va, April 1.-THE United
States Circuit Court met here to-day,
Judges Bond and Hughes presiding. The
first case taken up was that OF Robert B.
Mumford, Commissioner Of Internal Rev.
enue OF Richmond, under indictment for
conspiring with his deputies to obstruct
and hinder the friends mud supporters OF
Messrs. John S. Wise and John Amber
Smith, candidates for Congress in the No
vember election, from being assessed as
delinquents for the payment OF the poll
tax. Counsel for the defense denured to
the indictment and moved that 1t be
quashed, on the grounds that the offence
Is svaguely charged; that tho act OF assessing
delinquents was not required by law, as
payment Of the poll tax could be made
without it; that the repeal OF the poll tax
provision OF the constitution voided the
prosecution, and that the section OF the
United States statute in question is uncon-
slitutional. The arguments OF the motion
to quash occupied the time until the ad-
tournament of the court, aud will be con-
Cluded tomorrow morning. Thequestions
under discussion are vital ones, as decis-
ion favorable to the defence will put an
end to the whole prosecution against
