CARPENTER's RETURN. V

CARPENTER's RETURN. Thomas W.
Carpenter, late book-keeper for Campbell
and Schoolcraft, Richmond brokers, who
left that city July 25th, having distracted
from safety-deposit box in the State Bank
$50, 600 in coupon bonds, the property of
MIR. Mark Downey, returned to the city on
the Ches. and Ohio train Saturday night,
getting off the train at the elevator. His
first act was to go to his home, on north
Tenth street, and present himself to his wife
and two little children.
Mrs. Carpenter was wholly unprepared
to see him and fell in a swoon after he had
clasped her in his arms. Day and night she
had been praying for her husbands return,
and his unlooked-for appearance seemed an
almost direct answer to her prayers.
Carpenter says he has been to Winnipeg,
Manitoba, but the further he went the more
miserable he became. The grief-strioken faces
of his wife and children haunted him con-
tinually, and he resolved to tnrn back and
deliver himself up, even though SO doing
involved penitentiary punishment.
Carpenter did not stop with his wife more
than two or three minutes, when off he went
to consult friends and counsel.
He turned over $4,000 of the money to
Mr.. Downey, and says Mr.. D. shall not lose
a cent. He was lodged in prison. The
foregoing is condensed from full report
in Sundays Dispatch.

pairing feasts of amusement for the multitude,
but 1t has remained for W. W. Cole TO cap the
climax of circus enterprise with the monster
exhibition he has organized for the season of

never deceives the public; his promises go at
par every time, and are always duly honored

meath his canvas. 1t is a veritable wonder
world; everything is novel and interesting
Every act is startling in its originality; every
curiosity interesting from its rarity; every ami
NAL challenges admiration for its beauty and
perfect keeping, ami every portion of the vast
concern excites the warmest commentator by
its cleanliness, neatness. perfect order and sys-
tenn. and the entire absence OF all Objectionable
features. In the rings and on the elevated stage
q continual succession of Interesting acts are
presented, among them being leeplng, tumb-
ling bareback riding, ceiling walking by the
Human Fly, aerial bicy cling, roller skating,
trapeze performances. acrobatic evolutions,

THE REJECTION OF Mr., KEILEY.-Mr.
Kelley will presently return heme, as the
Austrian Government declines to receive
him as a Minister. But the Austrian
Minister of Foreign Affairs has very
curiously and stupidity Numbered in giving
as the main reason for refusing to receive
Mr.. Kelley the excuse that Mrs. Kelley is
a Jewess.
While the President and Secretary Bay
ard were ready to admit the right OF the
Austrian or any other foreign Government
to object to an American representative on
the general ground that he was not pleas
ing to them-a ground on which this GOV
eminent has in repeated instances required
the recall of foreign minister here-they
have resented in proper spirit, and with
indignation, the excuse given by the Aus
trian Government.
Not word can be justly said against
Mrs. Kelley. She is a lady in every way
fit to appear in any society or at any court,
and to make her Jewish origin an excuse
for declining to receive her husband as
Minister is to show narrow and mean
spirit which Secretary Bayard has de-
nounced as it deserves. When Congress
asks for the publication of the. correspon-
dence it will be seen that the Austrians
play very discreditable part in it, and
that Secretary Bayard has temporarily and
with proper dignity, but with proper vigor
also, resented and denounced the narrow
minded bigotry of the Austrian Foreign
Ofice.-N. Y. Herald.
That was not an idle inspiration of the
Alexandria delegate to the Convention

and the "advance" was made, and ended
