WHAT VICE MEANS.

Recent Correspondence Between
Cleveland and Hendricks.
The New York Tribune makes public the
following interesting correspondence:
INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 20, 1884.
Ny DEAR GROVER: I've been thinking the
matter over with a good deal of care since
election, and have reached the conclusion
that it is necessary to the success of the next
Administration that our firm name should
be Hendricks and Co., you to figure as
silent partner. Let me know how the sug-
gestion seems to strike you. Affectionately
yours, HxNDR*CKs.
To President-elect CLEVELAND.
ALBANY, Nov. 23, 1884.
Ny DEAR Tom: Yours of Goth received and
contents noted. In reply would say that
an evening or two since, while diverting my
self from official cares with a little good
poetry, L came across these lines in q poem
of DR.. Holmes.
thank you Mr.. President you've kindly broke
the ice:
Virtue should always be the frst-Tm only
second vice
a Vice is something Nth scre,c that's
made to hold its jar.
The singular felicity of this definition of a
Vice impressed me exceedingly--it's a sort
of a screw, Vice is, and it was made to
hold its Jaw" Affectionately yours,
CL#v#L*ND.
TOsB Vice ~ President-elect HENDBIcKs.

SHERMAN VS.. DAVIS.
He Says Vance Had Nothing TO Do
With That letter-He Will An
swer When He Pieases.

ST. LOUIS, Dec. l5.-General Sherman was
to-day interviewed in regard to Senator
yance's letter published this morning. In
answer to question as to the publication of
a reply he said, al have not taken any steps 10
give il out" Is Senator Vance connected
with the correspondence you have
referred tor" "No." 'Have you ever
said anything in this matter calculated to
make reply from Senator Vance neces-
sary?" mot that can see." A third party
here interjected an inquiry as to the way in
which his reply would be made. "Ishall an
swer az l d-n please, as the world would
say" replied the general with broad smile.
II understand well enough that the newspa-
pers are working this matter for all the news
there is in II and can't say that l blame
them: but at the same time they have, as IN
other cases. made a mountain OF 1T. Davis
has not written line TO me-" He has
published an open letter, hasn't he!" well,
that isn't to me; if you want to know any
thing about that you would do better to call
on the editor who published It,.
the reporter. General Sherman
more fully explained his position, speaking
as follows: II shall answer those denials,
but in a way that choose. l shall not en-
gage in a newspaper controversy, as that
would be beneath me-" "When will you
make your final reply?" "When this news
paper agitation has quieted down. he SAID
he should answer it through the War Depart
ment, and that the letter he has based his
statements upon has not been out or the
possession of military man since it passed
out of the hands of the owner four years
400.

TRIAL or THE ANARCHISTS.


LEIPsrc, Dec. l5.-In the trial of the An
archists charged with conspiring to destroy
the lives Of the Emperor and Crown Prince
on their journey 10 take part in the unveil-
ing of Germania statue at Elberfeld in Sep
tember, 1882, one Of the prisoners admitted
10 day that he was the instigator OF the plot
Reinsdorf, another Of the prisoners, denied
any completely in the Elberfeid affair.
Replying to a question by the Presiding
Judge, Reinsdorfl said Anarchism was
not governed by hard. fast rules,
but each of its disciples acted
upon his own discretion 10 advance
the cause of the people. The evidence
brought out In the course OF the trial has
shown that an elaborate system OF mines,
containing charges Of dynamite connected
by electric wires, had been arranged along
the route traversed by the royal party, and
under the statute, and terrible disaster was
prevented only by the occurrence OF a heavy
rain, which soaked and spoiled the dynamite.
Reinsdorf seemed to be the leader OF this
conspiracy. The police, in making arrests
of persons suspected, found and seized,
at Urinahr, three bombs, one charged
with black dynamite, and the other two
precisely similar to those used in the assas-
sination of the Gar of Russia. They also
found letters from Buffalo, N. ", addressed
to Reinsdorf, and referring to him as the
Trader, indicating that he was supplied with
money from persons in the United States.
These facts were elected to-day and caused
profound sensation.
The prisoner Rupschstestihed that he had
repented of his intention to kill the Emperor
and, being entrusted with the placing OF the
fuse, had substituted for IL and lighted an
old cigar. The failure of the supposed fuse
to explode made Reinsdorf furious and COM
PEELED Rupsch TO make second attempt
to carry out the plot, while the Emperor and
suite were returning from the ceremonies.
Rupsch this time cut the fuse in two, and de-
clared to Reinsdorf that the rain dampened
it. These statements are disbelieved by the
police, whose discoveries show conclusively
that the flooding of the mines alone prevented
the plans of the conspirators from succeed
ing. 1t is believed that Rupsch is trying to
secure clemency for himself by causing the
impression that he saved the Emperor's life.
Upon the conclusion of the testimony
seven out of eight prisoners were convicted,
including Reinsdorf.

Each new mystery, like that of the Carrie

criminals. The prompt publication of facts
at first inexplainable leads to the develop

tions of the City.
BuFFALo, n. Y. Dee. ia great wind
storm commenced last night and in q few
hours was blowing at speed Of sixty -four
miles an hour. The water in Harbor creek
rose rapidly until il was higher than it had
been for years The tow-path was flooded
and the occupants of dwellings along that
thoroughfare beat hasty retreat. Accidents
were numerous; many chimneys and por-
tions OF partially erected brick walls falling.
Branches OF trees were scattered In all di-
rections. The chimney of school No. was
blown down and crashed through the roof,
but no one was hurt. Residents of the
island awoke this morning to find the waves
beating against the sea-wall with violence
never before equalled, and 2 storm raging
which bid fair 10 render them homeless. About
o'clock the Island was no longer an island
but sand-bar over which the waves were
rushing with almost uninterrupted fury.
The Island consists of a narrow strip of sand
stretching away on the right of the light
house, and on the left shore curves south
east, for some distance. Back from the
beach is a sea-wall, a barrier of stone four
feet thick and from six TO eight feet high,
which in ordinary weather protects row of
little houses built under its lea. These are
occupied by fishermen, boatmen and others.
When visited this morning the whole island
was covered with water to depth of four or
five feet, and the wind was blowing sixty
miles an hour. The houses were all washed
away and the beating of the sea had broken
down the sea-wall for distance of fifty feet
At this hour, p. M, the storm has subsidized
considerably, and snow storm has set In.
