BINGHAM.-1hc hearing on the libel of the
liquors seized at the Stage House, Bingham, a
month ago, was heard Monday, and took rath-
or unusual turn. Mr.. lluuncwell, agent Of the
Boston firm from whom the liquors were bought,
appeared and claimed the good, on the ground
that Mr.. Adams, the respondent, had asked them
to take them back, he desiring to leave the bust
ness. The Court ordered the goods DESTROYED.
An appeal taken from this decision, The
government thcreupon had Mr. Adams arrested
for having the liquor on hand illegally and the
court fined him 800 and costs. An appeal was
taken. There is some curiosity to see if the OPP

THREE noted American women are
now attracting the attention of all Eu-
rope. The first is the widow of the late
King of Portugal, to whom he left vast
and beautiful estate, with numberless
millions in money. This lady, who was
a Miss Henele., the daughter of tailor
in Boston, has had a romantic career.
The tailor, who was man of small
means, delighted in his little daughter,
and determined that she should have
every advantage. Accordingly, he spent
all he could make and command upon
the child. She, having good voice, it
was cultivated, and she was sent to Par
is to receive special vocal culture. Sing
ing, at length in concert, the King of
Portugal became deeply and devotedly
attached to her; created her Countess
Elbau, and was married to her. She
had won and kept-and this speaks well
tor her-his earnest love. Lately, in
death, he bestowed his fortune upon her,
with very afectionate mention of her
fine and endearing qualities.
Next week we shall speak of the Prin-
cess Collona and Lady Churchill.

LAST June, Mrs. Kate Bishop, as
President of the Arkansas Womens In

rial to the women's clubs of this city, sta
ting that tn Women's Industrial Asso-
citation would endeavor to forward the
industries of Arkansas women to the New
Orleans Exposition, which would take
place the following winter In this
memorial, Mrs. Bishop asked the con-
currence of the clubs for this object The
Hsthetic club unanimously voted to act
with Mrs. Bishop in this matter
Time passed on. Many ladies were
out of the city when September came
InssSeptember, Mrs. Bishop was taken

retain her position, being i'll and with an
Invalid mother, she thought her reasons
good for rendering resignation. Mrs.
Mary Loughborough, being Vice-Presi-
dent OF the Association, the administra-
ton of the office of President then fell to
her lot. With the kind and hearty
cooperation of the ladies of the
the city, Mrs. Loughbhrough continued
the efforts of the Association to present
an exhibit of Arkansas women's indus
tries at the Exposition, at New Orleans.
The matter had progressed so far that
trustworthy and competent commission
had accepted the commisslonership, Miss
Georgine Woodruff, whose fidelity to
any trust is so we'll known. In answer
to delegation of ladies, sent by the As.
ISOLATION, Gov. Hughes promised trans
portation for all articles for a women's
industrial exhibit, with also transporta-
ton for a commission. Ladies of the
Associations and of the city proffered to
detray the expenses Of the commissions
er'S board When Gen. McRae visited
our city some few weeks since, he stated
that the Arkansas display at the EXPOSE
ton, though handsome one, lacked
that which so many states possessed in
their several departments-the refine
ment and taste of women's work-and
he urged the ladies of the Industrial AS
sociation to send their articles in time to
the Exposition.
However, so much was said and print
ed during the holidays concerning the
Exposition, its lack of patronage, its
financial troubles, and its probable short
duration, that the Women's Association
has thought it wise to decline at present
any further attempt to present an exhibit
of Arkansas women industry at the Ex-
position, and to devote the funds proffer-
ed, if the donors thought best, to the
further establishment of the Womens
Exchange, and to the establishment of a
Girls Industrial School. This will at
present, be the object of the Arkansas
Women's Industrial Association.l

SQUIRE AND FLYNN.
Their Trial Set Down for September 5th
continuation of the Examination be-
fore Mayor Grace.
NEW YoRK Anp 10

New YORK, Aug. IL.
Messrs. Squire and Flynn appeared this
morning TO enter pleas to the indictments
found against them on Monday last. Judge
Corning presided. There was some light
delay, but when the clerk said, "Rollin M.
Squire and Maurice B. Flynn, you are in
dicted for a msdemeanor, are you guilty or
not guilty?" 1--WE DESIRE" said Newcomb,
their counsel, ''that the pleas be entered
separately. In behalf Of Mr.. Flynn we
plead not guilty, but reserve the right to
withdraw this plea and interpose any other
which NAV be decided upon later"
similar statement was made on behalf of
Squire.
Judge Corning allowed the pleas. The
case was set down fer trial Monday, Sep
tember 9TH.
After recess Commissioner Squire entered
the mayors office. He looked grave when
the mayor asked if the defense was ready,
and Mr.. Strshsm, addressing him, asked
permission to withdraw Squire for time.
The mayor denied the request.
Commissioner Squire then took the stand
and Straham said: 81 have advised Squire
to answer no questions put to him in this
matter until the criminal Indictment found
against him has been settled and until 1t is
So disposed Of this farcical court has no juris-
diction."
Considerable sparring was INDUCED in be-
tween the counsel, Squire being advised by
his attorneys not to answer any questions
whatever.
The following colloquy then ensued after
Squire had refused to answer several ques-
tions put by the opposing counsel:
Peckhsm--Why do you refuse TO answer
my questions, Mr.. SquireT
Squire-By the advice of my counsel
am in their boat and they are rowing me.
Peckham-In what direction,
Squire, do not care in what direction.

A SERIOUS DISASTER.
Sloop frolic Capsizes in Boston Harbor
and HAS Five Men Drowned.

BosroN. Aug. H.
During a sudden squsll this afternoon
about +,S0 q brick laden schooner while pass-
ing out of the harbor WAS capsized near
Green Island, of Boston light and the tour
men on board are supposed to have been
drowned. The name of the schooner is at
present in doubt, but it is thonght to be the
Schooner Orion of Bath, Me. 1t was &C
first reported to be the Arizona. The schoou-
er has been towed to the wharf at Deer
island, where she now lies, partly under
water. Abut the same time the sloop Frolic
was cspsized and sunk near Deer Island and
three persons probably went down with her.
The only thing recovered frcm the latter
wreck was coat containing letters directed
to a certain address at Boston Highlands
The details of the disasters are very meagre,
but special tug has been despatced to the
scene and additional facts are expected be-
fore morning.
The disaster to the sloop Frolic proves to
be more serious than at first thought. 1t was
learned that there were FIVE persons on
board, which was probably returning from a
fishing excursion. They were VIM. l.. Hay
den owner of the boat, his sons Fred and
Edwin, IA and l3 years old respectively; j.
w. Lamming and WIN. p. Henderson.
Hayden was well known resident of Dor
chester, AZ years old, and leaves widow
and three children. He was considered a
good skipper. j. w. Lamming, was "a
years old, u photographer in Dorchester,
married, with one child. lie had often been
on trips with Hayden, with whom he always
considered himself perfectly safe. Hender-
son was Is years old, lived in South Boston,
and was an intimate friend of the Hayden
family. 1t is said that all the above persons
were excellent swimmers, which makes tho
fact that none were saved all the more singu-
lar.
1t seems no one was lost from the schooner
ORION which capsized In the harbor. Her
crew consisted of the captain and two men.
who were rescued after clinging to the rig
ging for some time.

YACHT TALK.
Professional BOatmen Believe that the
Sachem is the Best of the Lot.

NEWPORT, r. l., Aug. II.
1t. Hem stated this morning that the
Gallatea would probably remain here until
Saturday. She is attracting much attention
from citizens. majority of the fleet sailed
today. The Mayfower expects to remain
several days. Many professional boatmen
express the opinion that the schooner yacht
Sachem, if properly handled, could beat any
thing of the coast, the big sloops not ex-
cepted.
The movements for the yacht race for the
citizens cup is growing in popularity and the
fund is correspondingly increasing in size.
The subscriptions have now reached more
than Sl200. 1t is now proposed in addition
to offering cups to provide ball or fireworks
display, or both if possible, with a view of
making the occasion a memorable. 1t seems
to be the general disposition on the part of
the citizens to do everything possible to make
the occasion brilliant one, and redeem the
city from the implication of Indifference to
yachtsmen.

OUR NATIONS COLORs.
An Interesting sketch of the Origin of
the Star SpangIed Banner.

SANFORD, Aug. l2.
Maj. Gen. Schuyler Hamilton of New York
delivered celebrated lecture of the history
OF the star spangled banner at Goodali's Hall
tonight. He spoke substantially as follows
Among all nations and iniquity, especially
heather nations, their ensigns, or as the ORR
ginal of work really is in signs. was one way
or another an efigy or something represent
ing the God or Gods they worshipped at the
crusades, the Pope gave gave each nation a
special cross the English red cross on a
white banner, called cross St. George. Their
war cry was st. George and merry England.
10 the Scots was given cross ST. Andrew,
called Saltere, white on a blue ground, Sim
liar to the cross St. Andrew was supposed to
have been crucifed on. Their war cry was
st. Andrews, forever. 1t was the custom OF
soldiers marching under the banner TO wear
short shirt with the cross of their banner
inscribed before and behind. The shirt.
were usually the color of their banner, hence
red coats. The British soldiery wore blue
bonnets, blue ribbons and blue coats Scotch
shirts were called jacks or jackets, hence the
flags were called jacks. We hear today OF
St. George jacks, st. Andrews jacks and
Union jacks. Sailors get the name of jack
tars from wearing similar shirts The boot,
of the cavelry were called jack boots. Or
July l8,l775, Gen. Putnam, in command o.
the Continental troops in front of Boston
having received declaration of the congres:
of the colonies, setting forth the cause OF
taking up arms, caused it to be read to the
troops and red flag, bearing the arms and
notices of Massachusetts and Connecticut il
gold displayed on Prospect hill. The flag
remained unchanged until June IA. l777
when Congress passed resolution that the
flag contain thirteen stripes, alternate red
and white; that the Union be thirteen star:
on blue field, representing the new consti'
tuition.
