Place Where Newspaper Is Needed.

st. Louis GIobe- Democrat.
IL will be a long time, we think before another
meeting of the Presbyterian General Assembly
is held in Cincinnati The newspapers Of that
city have almost ignored the session; the amplest
and best reports given being fiimsy, incomplete
and unsatisfactory. One of these days some
body will print newspaper in Cincinnati not
wholly devoted to politics and crime--not en-
tirely given up to the idea that all that interests
the public is to be found either in the brothels
in the ward meetngs-and that newspaper
will be success The idea that there is no in
terest taken in the debates of men like those
who compose the General Assembly, and that
the world is freezing to death to know all about
the mugwumps and the Democrats and the Re-
publicans, is great mistake. The Cincinnati
papers spend most of the time hammering cold
iron with hot sledges--they are bowling politics

SEVERAL clergymen of New York have be-
come interested in the movement toward
granting half holiday each week to employees
of dry goods stores, and have promised to lay
the matter before their congregations. Many
merchants are in favor of granting the time to
their clerks during the summer months, while
a large proportion are opposed to it, in view of
the fact that other business houses are not ex-
pected to close.

No Success in Boycotting.

The Knights of Labor of Muncie have resolved
to boycott paper which hasn't conducted It's
business to suit them We advise them not to
do it. There hasn't been a successful case of
that sort in this country that we know Of, and
for the honor of the country there ought not to
be one. However much seeming pallation there
may be for such thing in an oppressed and
largely helpless land like Ireland there isn't the

THJRTY Days UHISkI.
HsON Crisficid Dead Beats Treated
~ baltimore IiIuOr Dealer.

A queer story is told in the local option
town of Crisficld, Somerset county, ut the
expense of Baltimore drummer and the
liquor merchant he represented. More
than n month the drummer secured the
Peninsula for orders for whisky which
was TO he furnished on 30 or 60 days
credit, to suit the convenience of the GUS
toners. The dead beats of Crisiield
caught ON at once. The mails were
loaded with orders, and in two weeks
$iOO worth of whisky went to Crisiiold
and its vicinity. A week ago the drummer
revisited the town on n collecting tour.
He went to the postmaster to find out the
address of the receivers of the whisky.
The postmaster scrutini2cd the list of
names slowly and carefully. AS his
glance moved down the page queer
twinkle was visible in his eyes. Then
his countcnance brondcned into grin,
and finally, handing the list back TO the
collector, he said:
"See here, young man, wouldn't give
YOU three cents for the whole bill.n
The collector stared in amazement and
left the post office in daze. He went to
several merchants to inquire for the
whereabouts of the parties. His luck
was no better, and one man remarked to
him in cold blood
MY friend, if you want TO find those
parties you got on that list, the best thing
you can do is, get spade and dig 'em
up. Eleven of 'em have been in theil
graves to my knowledge for ut least five
years."

BAHARD's MISSOURI ADDRESS.
The Secretary Replies TO the CritI-
cisIns Made Upon II.

WASHINGTON, June 14.-In the address
which Secretary Bayard recently de-
livered before the students of the Mis-
souri, University he is reported as having
said that when, in consequence of tie
between jefferson and Burr in the Elec-
toral College, the election devolved upon
the House of Representatives his grand
father, Federalist, instructed by Hamil-
ton, the great chief of the Federalists,
cast his vote for Thomas Jefferson. This
statement in the report of what Secretary
Bayard said having been denied and
sharply criticised, u Post reporter called
at the residence of Secretary Bayard and
asked him if he had seen these attacks.
"0h, yes" replied the secretary, ~
have read them. They were intended as
an attack upon me personally. They are
ungenerous and unjust, but do not care
for that. But that the effect of it should
be to call attention to the history of that
period greatly grat:fies me. If it shall
but be the means of leading my country
men to learn the lesson of that epoch
shall count myself fortunate in having,
by any means, been the cause of that
result. Now, the facts are that, having
listened on this occasion TO a beautiful
and glowing eulogy on Thomas Jefferson
by Senator Vest, in which the antithesis
between him and Alexander Hamilton was
sharply drawn, somewhat to the disad-
vantage of the latter, / rose to speak
without the least premeditation and
consequently without note. l WIS
glad to hear Jefferson praised, but |
thought it ought never to be forgotten
and ought never to go unacknowledged
that Hamilton, when the occasion arose,
was superior to party. He knew the
character of the nominee of his party
of the man who seven years after was
tried for trenson-and as the country did
not know il he did not hesitate TO pro-
claim it. This is the point that | was
hlnking-tllat there wns II time when it
became the duty of patriotic man to
sacrifice party for country-and | was
illustrating it by the great example of
Hamilton. Naturally referred TO James
A. Bayard, for he stood nearer the
counseis of Hamilton than any other
Federnlist. My crime is that he was my
grandfather. And now | do not think
said that he cast his vote for jefferson,
but, whatever may have said in the un-
studied address l delivered, / say now
that my grandfather contributed more
than any man, except Hamilton, to the
defeat of Burr and the election of Jeffer-
son, and that he voted in such n way MS
to secure the result. l could not well
have said that his vote was positively cast
for Jefferson, for that would have been
nn historical error"

Alfred d. Vandever's fat boiling
establishment, in the Middleboro marsh,
just beyond the phosphate works of
Walton, Whann & Co., on the banks of
the Christiana, was destroyed by fire Sun
day night, about 6 o'clock. Several fire
engines started to go to the fire, but after
it was learned where it was, and owing to
the difficulty which would be encoun-
tered in reaching it, they gave up
the attempt and returned to the
city. The building was frame
structure 36x12 feet and 16 feet high, and
together with its contents was consumed.
1t contained machinery, five or six tons OF
bones, several barrels of greese, hides and
carcasses of horses and dogs. The
loss amounts to $500 to 5000. There
is no insurance. Mr.. Vandever is of the
opinion that the building was fred by
boys living in Hedgeville.
