HON. WILLIAM II. HUNT.

If family grief can be at all as
suaged by respect shown the mem
DRY Of a deceased member, this balm
is now giving comfort to the widow,
children, the two venerable brothers
and osher relatives of William Fl.
Hunt.
1t belonged to him to draw at
tention and create respect and adj.
lniration in every circle and sphere
he entered. Thus tits, that, though
but a short time in publicand social
life abroad, his death, throughout
the high circles Of Europe, causes
sincere grit. Nor, by those who
intimately knew him, will disappear
strange. His was character, which,
in this country, outside Of his pro
fession, retiring, rendered him no
desiler Of ordinary public life. But
on the bench, in the cabinet or at a
foreign court, all his faculties, his
educated and refined culture, clear
power Of thought and expression,
those accomplishments which grace
high station, found a propitious
field for development and apprecia-
ton.
His love Of country and moral
courage in its support were promi-
nent.
While others yielded their love
of country to that of State aud
section, Mr.. Hunt, through all trials,
amidst social, business and political
antagonism, remained true to tie
Union. He loved his State and sec
ton no less, but in this regard,
proved himself wiser than those who
sought their country's overthrow.
This might be termed the GROWING
glory of his honesG life.

BALTIMORE, July 14.-George Cassi-
dy, o prominent Democrat in this city,
who is the owner of one of the largest
saloons here. yesterday said that he
had in his safe, (and poiuted out
the packages,) $4,000 In 500 bills,
which he was prepared to stake In even
bets, that Blaine and Logan would be
elected. He said all the sporting men
in the city had known OF 1t for days,
but not one had offered to put up dol
lar. He said the money was not his
own, but he was authorized to bet it in
sums of 500, and he would meet calls
up to SIC, 900. He said he was q Demo-
crat, but "business Is business, you,
know, and while / would like
to see tho Democrats win, this
money talks that they cannot beat
Blaine"
The money ia said to be pool raised
by q number Of sporting Democrats,
some of whom are in the Wholesale
liquor business, and other men who
lost heavily on Hancock in 1880, and
are now trying to get even.

Tne story OF q Fire Striker.

Som etime ago q petition was pre-
sented to Council, signed Dy thePhDnix
Fire Company and q number of prop
erty holders and residents in the vi
cinity OF Twelfth and King streets, ask
ing that an electric fire alarm striker
be placed in the tower of the engine
house.
The petition was referred to the Fire
Committee, which at that time was
composed Of Messrs. johnson, Moore,
Stevenson, Hersey, and Robert II. Tsy.
lor, who after investigating the mat
ter, were fully convinced that such an
apparatus was needed in. that place,
as a protection to property i'm the vicin-
hy.
They accordingly reported the peti.
tion back to Council with favorable
recommendation, and upon the report
being accepted set to work to ascertain
where the best striker could be obtained
for the least money.
The Gamewell Fire Alarm Company,
who claim to hold patents covering. ali
apparatus of this nature, offered to fur
nish striker for $625, while g. M.
Stevens, of Boston, offered to furnish
one for $500, and put it in place, fur
nishing everything needed for S75,
making the total cost for the apparatus
when In place and ready for service,
$3.50 less than that charged by the
Gamewell Company.
| The committee held several meetings
to consider the matter, and were notified
by Levi G. Bird, Esq. attorney for the
Gamewsll Company, that the Stevens
striker was an Infringement on their
patent, and in the event of the contract
for tho work being given to Mr.. Stevens,
an injunction would be1obtained, and
suit commenced against the city.
Mr.. Stevens denied that his striker In.
lfringed on the rights Of the company,
and the committee decided to obtain
the opinion, of City Solicitor Turner.
THAT official advised the committees
that he thought if Mr.. Stevens would
deposit $500 in bank, and give an in
demnity bond to the city, they would
be safe in awarding the contract to him.
As Mr.. Stevens was willing to con.
form to these requirements, he was
told to go ahead with the work, and
deposited $500 in the Union National
Bank, where it still remains. He alsC
signed bond of indemnity that was
Witnessed by the City Solicitor, al
though lie afterwards denied having 4
seen 1t.
j When the new Fire Committee was
lappointed, Mr.. Stevens bill was pre-
sented to them, but they refused to pay
1t, on the ground that they knew moth.
ing about the indemnity bond, but last
jevening the bond was produced, and
: after they had examined it they asked
that further action be- deferred until
Z Thursday evening. Mr.. Stevens says
, that the Gamewell Company is mo-
nopoly, and that wherever he has placed
striker, they have made the same
threats but thus far have never entered
suit.

A Figure Head.

Governor Cleveland has had very
little experience in public life, having
served only in the offices of Sheriff,
Mayor and Governor. To compare him
with James G. Blaine in ability would
be like comparing school boy with the
late President Garfield. The party pass
ed by their men of ability like Thur
man, Randall, Pendleton and Bayard,
and selected Cleveland because of his
fancied availability. He may answer as q
figure head, but We might as properly
compare pigmy to giant as to COM
pare him intellectually with these men.
Availability and not experience or tai
ent was made the winning card.
