a Wonderful Party at wind-or Castle.

The following good story comes from
quarter where We are assured Its cor
rectness can be vouched for" Many
years ago, at the time of great cere-
monv, Windsor Castle was honored with
the presence of three soverelgns. After
breakfast the three potentates walked
and talked ON the celebrated Slopes,
and were, of course, In ''mufti." They
were delighted with the grounds, and
presently entered into conversation with
a gardener, who evidently took them
for party of "gentlemen's gentlemen"
out for stroll. After some little affable
talk he could not resist the query {:
'sNow who may you gents be Z" ''Well,
said the spokesman, ''this gentleman
here happens to be the King OF Prussia;
that one standing by your side is the
Emperor Of Austria and as for myself,
am the Emperor OF Russia" This was
Carrying the joke too far, thought the
gardener. I've seen a lot of queer fur
rim gents here lately, but this beats me-
so he burst out i'll a rather rude guffaw
'.Well, my FRIEND" sald the Emperor
Nicholas, you seem amused perhaps
you will tell us who yOu are" "Oh.
certainly; so taking up the skirt of his
coat with the action of a great eagle
spreading cut his wings, and spinning
round on his heels, he said If you
are all what You say you are-iohy Ian,
the Great Mo0ul ?" The three maies-
ties roared with laughter, and, return
ing to the castle, told the story at the
lunciieon-table to the immense amuse-
ment of the Queen and Priace Albert.

Now would she be persuaded.
The very same day she sent for the

and drove the sharpest bargain possible,

THE NEW po,rMasTEK GENERAL.
Complimentary Opinions OF Him by
.fi! New York Papers.

. .NEw iYoRK, April 5.-The Herald says;
In selecting Judge Gresham, Of Indiana,
for Postmaster General, President Arthur
has once more shown himself wiser than
the ANAL army Of self.constituted advisers
who are.so readyto tell him what to do"
Mr.. Gresham Is, man Of the highest
character, and those who know him say
he is in every way, by business capacity
and knowledge, fitted for the place to which
the President has called him, The
appointment is made with clear and
honorable regard TO public interests, but
for that reason 1t mustalso be OF advantage
TO the Republican party. Mr.. Gresham
will, we have no doubt from what we hear
oil him, add strength to MIR. Arthur's ad.
minisuation, and Is another proof that the
President deserves, as he has slowly but
constantly won, public confidence in the
|rectsnde Of his purposes, the independence
of his judgment and the honorable public
spirit which controls his acts: N'E !
The Tribune says: The appointment
was good one. The President was wise to
go to Indiana for Cabinet officer, and
wise in the choice he made among the
Indiana men. ''
The Sun says: The appointment is q
rather agreeable surprise. A great deal was
known against almost every other candi-
date, but nothing has yet been heard
against. General Gresham, who, II not
widely known, is at least OF good repute.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, April ga West

brought to trial, Mrs. vermear

pun asked her two brothers, who
were joint owners OF forty acres Of land,
to deed it over to her, as they were bache-
lors and did not need the property as much
rs she did. But they refused to grant her
request. Accordingly on November 10th,
1881, some days after making the above
request, she walked over to her mothers,
Mrs. Lockhart'sl residence, about half q
mile away, taking with her a pail Of
SOUP. Arriving there some fifteen minutes
after the family had finished the noon day
meal she greeted her mother with the in
quiry rs to how her health was. The old
lady responded that she felt very well, in
deed. Whereupon the daughter saving,
"Mother, I've brought you some soup"
put it on the stove to warm. She then
handed some to her mother and brother,
both OF whom partook Of ii, her other
brother, Albert, refusing. Half an hour
later her mother was taken violently III
with cramps and was put to bed in great
agony, and very soon after her
brother was taken down with similar
pains, and thereupon Mrs. Ver.
NEAR took her pail, rinsed 1t out
and departed for home, leaving her victims.

mained at the house until her

OF sorrow over what would otherwise have
been considered terrible bereavement.

Murray, once the popular pastor OF the
Park Street Church, and author Of wonder.
full Adirondack tales, is again in trouble.
His career in Boston, which began about
fourteen years ago, was brief and remark
ably brilliant. He quarrelled with the
deacons OF Park Street Church, and es.
tablsihed, for about two years, society in
Music Hall, where he attracted large audi.
unces. He went into the wagon building
business, in which he sank his fortune and
lost his homestead at Guiford, Conn, He
afterwards went to Europe and then to
Texas, where he was supposed to be run

from San Antonio gays that he left thattown
suddenly last Saturday evening. For some
time past he has been deeply involved in
debt, and has been from time to time put.
ting off bis creditors with specious prom.
ises. On Wednesday last, several OF them
got together and talked OF Nj. Murray's
financial affairs, finally sending for him.
Hethen promised to meet them again on
Saturday afternoon, and in the meantime
to consider some definite proposition for u
settlement and have it ready to submit
Instead OF keeping this agreement, he
apparently begun at once to make arrange.
ments for flight. On Thursday morning
his intimate female friend left town by rail
and Mr.. Murray packed his goods and
started on Saturday for the South.
His indetedness inand about San Anto.
nio amounts to something over Sl2, 900.
None Of his creditors will suffer very
heavily, for tho individual claims are small.
One man holds Mr., Murray's notes, long
overdue, TO the amount Of $500. He is
probably the largest creditor. Mr.. Muir
rays persuasive-powers in borrowing
money proved as successful in Texas as in
Boston. After all his other failures, he
raised capital and built a saw mill, but this
did not pay. He then essayed to the pull.
pit again, but his adherents soon learned
his past history, and he was invited to re.
sign. Last fall he became so much i'm.

COMING CONVENTION
oF TAEAMALeAMArEo AssooIArIeN
At Pittsburgh to Arrange i Scale Of PrIc.s-1ls

Terrible Explosion or Gas Ia Baltimore.
Streets Torn up and Houses Shaken.

PITTSBURGH, April 5.-The meeting 10 be
held in this city next Saturday between
the iron and steel manufacturers and the
Amalgamated Association, for the purpose
Of arranging the scale Of prices, will not
altogether result in the decision anticipated
by the workmen a short time ago. Very
recently it has been stated that the manu-
facturers will refuse to sign the scale. If
such refusal is contemplated, it will Ger
tainly cause struggle among the puddles,
who declare they will not work unless q
scale is signed. ..
II, as has been stated, the manufacturers
propose to pay on two cent instead OF
two and a half cent card, it would reduce
pudding to S5a ton. A reduction OF 20
per cent would take place among rollers,
who would probably oppose it. Their ay-
erage daily earnings are from Sl5 to $25.
There are rollers OF steel in our mills
who get $50 day. On small guide rolls
the roller can earn from 50 TO 0Sa a day, and
bar rollers get from SSto$l3 Heaters are
well satisfied with the present wages paid
them, which are by no means equal to any
Of the rollers. The average amount paid
for heaters is from 81 to 50 day. Very
few roll hands earn more than from s. SO
t. SO day.
The iron trade generally is undeniably
good at present The orders in three
fourths OF the mills are as large az could be
desired, and the stock Of merchantable
iron on hand at the warehouse in this city
Ia far less than was expected three months
ago. There are 1000 pudding furnaces
in the mills here, and Of these eight
hundred are now worked double turn,
with muck supply possibly smaller at
present than at any time within the last
i've years. From the metal trade comes
about the same encouraging report. From
the eleven blast furnaces in this city ten are
now blasting, with an average daily pro-
duction of about 800 tons, which Is not
more than half the amount required for
the mills here at the present running capa-
city. The stock Of metal now on hand Is
very small. AT some Of the furnaces the
stock is entirely exhausted. The Pitts
burgh Spring Company, along the A. v.
r. R., have an unusually large stock OF
metal on hand, and at few minor stock
yards small stocks are piled away. There
are very few large and small dealers who
expect any dullness in the trade during tho
coming summer, unless some unforeseen
circumstances take place.

AssaSsIaa Arrsstsd-stronE Prospects
that the BruttI will be Lynehed.

CIARxsnvRo, W. Va, April 5.-Last
night West Union, Doddidge county, was
the scene Of fearful and bloody tragedy.
Barney Doyle and his two little girls, aged
five and seven years, were murdered while
asleep. Between ten o'clock and midnight
a man by the name OF Harper entered the
room aud struck Doyle with heavy poker,
after which he stabbed him in several
places about the body. when found his
brains were oozing from cuts on his head.
His two children were lying beside him,
one dead, and the older one supposed to be
dying, Harper having struck them heavy
blows on the head with hatchet. Since
then she has recovered sufficiently to in.
IDENTIFY the man who committed the fear.
ful crime. He was worthless fellow, and
murdered Doyle for his money, as be
thought Doyle kept in his house large
amount Of money. A large amount oi
OF cash was found scattered about by the
robber in his efforts to escape.
Doyle was widower and kept low
groggery. The two others implicated are
Mckinley and Weekly. Strong suspicion
rests upon them in consequence OF old
feuds existing between them and Doyle.
Harper's motive for killing the two chill
dren was to prevent being identified.
