Burned In Emgy.

Winnipeg, Man, Special Telegram: The
most remarkable scene ever Witnessed in the
Northwest took place ON the 80 inst. The city
was hideous all the evening with the shouts
and noise Of an infatuated mob. BY order Of
Attorney General Miller, John Mccormick, from
Dakota, who was sent to Jail for eight months
for larceny, was taken out in the Jail yard,
tied up to a triangle. stripped, and amidst fall
ling snow logged with a cat-o-nine-tails because
he made an attempt to escape from the guard
when the latter was not looking. Public indig-
nation against Miller was SO great that 500
citizens assembled and burned him three times
in efigy, singing Hang judge Miller to a sour
apple tired" A procession then formed,
marched to the jail, and demanded the person
OF Mccormick, but the authorities would not
deliver him The mob groaned and Kissed for
an hour, and then went to the government
building and demanded that Miller be pre-.
duced. Premier Norquay came out and adj
dressed the crowd, saying the government
would give a proper account of its position to
the public in a few days, when the blame would
be put on the proper shoulders. The crowd
howled for Miller, but it was announced that
he had fed the city IN the afternoon. He was
seen to take q train for st. Vincent, Mimi When
the mob was at the government building, mill
tary, with fixed bayonets, marched up and at
tempted to dispense the crowd without success

Signor Pietro Brignoli, the once celebrated
tenor, died in the Everett house, New York,
Thursday evening, Of internal hemorrhage. Hs
He has been ailing for some time, but his death
was not anticipated. He was without relatives
IN America. There is only one tenor living
Mmberlik-who has filed SO large a space in
the record OF Italian opera as Pietro Brignoii
He first came to America a generation ago, and
rapidly sprang into public favor as the silver
voiced tenor. He was In the front rank when
the American Academy eff Music was opened,
with Brignoli as Manrico, G~azzoniga as Leo
nora, and Adelaide Philips as Azucena. He sang
with Parepa, Lagrange, Piccolomini, Kellogg,
Albini, lson, hi Murska, Van Zandt, and all
the gre.<s primo ann OF the last thirty years.
Pa preferred America as a place OF residence,
though he was for many years leading tenor in
London and Paris. In this country he has
been in the service Of every impressario who
has given Italian opera from Ulman to Maple
son. He retained his youthful appearance
until the last few years, and his voice was az
sweet as ever and his delivery as clear, though
its force was impaired. He was last with the
Abbott company, but was not engaged during
the current season. Brignoli was married
about ten years ago to Miss Arabella McCul.
Tough, q prima donna, but the union was on
! unhappy one. and she soon afterward obtained
= divorce. He was about sixty years old.

why Gresham Resigned.

Washington Special: There has been a great
deal Of speculation here regarding the resiGna-
ton Of Secretary Gresham at this time, and es.
pecially before the election, The SIMPLE truth
IS that Secretary Gresham had not been two
weeks at the head of the treasury department
before he discovered that he could not remain
there without making important changes. He
soon found a very unsatisfactory condition of
affairs. and inasmuch rs he intended to accept
the United States circuit judgeship before the
expiration of the present administration, he
determined to go out of the treasury at this
early date rather than remain in a position
where he would run the risk of naring the
responsibility of the transactions of officers
whom he could not trust II can be stated
with pOsitlveness that Judge Gresham is of
the opinion that the treasury department is
sadly in need of all overhauling.

The deficit in the p~ostofice depart
ment in the year during which the two
cent postage was substituted for the
~three-cent is not greater than was to
have been expected. The receipts fell
short of meeting expenses by about s.
600, 600, but that Is by no means an
alarming figure when the magnitude of
the business is considered. Our gov
eminent has nearly $4,000 postofices-
more than Great Britain, France, Ger
many, Austria, Russia and Italy com
bined. The gross revenue for the fiscal
year ending June 30, 1888, was $685.
926, 088, while for the succeeding year
it has increased to $40, S18, 635 exclu-
sive of the money order system, which
yielded a revenue of about $400, 900.
The large increase OF cost in extending
postal communication is, after all, the
real reason why the department has
failed to make both ends meet.

An Illustration of the English method
of making statesmen is found in the ca
reer of lord Dutferin, recently APP
pointed viceroy of India. Dufferin ha'
spent about a quarter Of a cen
fury in the foreign service, and has
been sent upon diplomatic missions te
nearly every nation in the world. The
politics of the party in power made nc
difference to him. Whatever his per
sonal vie US might be, he simply sought
to do the best he could for his country.
Such has been his uniform success that
be is spoken of by his c~ountrymen that
is, Britains, for he is an Irishman, not
an Englishman as is generally supposed
as "our only ambassador" The differ
ence between Britain and the United
States is that here every citizen has az
opportunity to qualify himself for any
public position, the probability being
that he will sometime be called upon
to fill one, while there the man must be
especially trained, and upon only q few
are these honors conferred

It Was No Place For Him.

At one Of our theaters the other even

created much amusement. The young
woman apparently enjoyed herself very
much until the ballet began, when she
became very uneasy, and looked every

companions eve was riveted. Present.

said in q tone half pleading, half indig-
nant: John, how can you look at such
things?D John grew confused at the
reproach and Immediately began 70
read his play bill, not however, without
casting q furtive glance at the stage now
and then. The composure of the twain
was not restored until the act drop fell
upon the scene. Then, the young
woman said ~fervently, IT hope there -
40 more of that shamelessness." By
and by came another ballet when the
fair one, unable to stand it longer, rose,
and said firmly to her companion,
Come John, well go at once This Is
no place for you'll" with which she
marched resolutely up the aisle, fol-
lowed by her escort, who sheepishly
followed hhr, evidently impressed by
the truth of her decision.-Boston Ca

Very few people have any idea Of the
small part that money plays in the
great business transactions of the world.
The system of exchange is now so per-
feet that comparatively little money is
required. Whether perfection has
been attained in this direction or not Is
impossible to tell. The annual meet
ing of the New York Clearing House
Association was held a few days ago.
There are upwards of 60 banks con.
nected with that Association. New
York is of course the financial centre
OF the country. Many Of the 5000
banks IN other parts Of the United
States make collections and pay indebt-
edness through banks connected with
the Clearing House. This Association
has been IN existence for 81 years, DUR
ing which the exchanges settled over
its counters have amounted to the NOR
sum of $3.50. S1S, 516, 500. The
operations for the last year OF this
period, say from October /, 1883, TO
September 30, 1884, were as follows.
Exchanges $34, 092, OF, 1888. Balances
(money) 1,524, 800, 1894 But for this
organization over s34, oO0, 900 900 m
money would have been handled in
the past year. Through the Clearing
House system, this amount was reduc-
cd to $1.524, 600 900. In this range
Of business covered BY the banks, the
amount Of money required to TRANSACT
the same was only Al per cent. Of

York banks N the ordinary daily busi.

heartiness which the occasion merited.
He cannot say with the great patriarch
of his race that his days have been few
and evil; they have been filled with
honors by worth and grudged by
no living being, Jew, Christian or pa

known his benevolence and is familiar
with his fame. He has witnessed the
rise of his race throughout the world to
power and wealth; he has seer the
Rothschilds throne themselves oyer the
empire of finance and a Disraeli direct

has watched with pride the success in

and the art of both continents of that
