Here. then. is Cincinuatus, the man who
first made this discovery. The artist has

In the distan q, too :.Ir or IL fact to work

Cincinnatus. 1t is hanging on tall pole as

field while he struck out a long furrow. To
look at the furrow few would believe that the
great dictator intended to strike out for the
FLAG.
The arts. has caught the true idea in this
picture, and shows the great statesman and
general in the pose of Il thoughtful and philan-
thropical man, who has fully decided that at
the prevailing price of wheat he would care

that might be made by those having the good
Of the people at heart.
Cncinnatus was an austere man of the
patrician style of architecture and carefully
reached his hair, as well as the tail of his
Roman mule. He was imperious in the ex-

the papers got after him. He was the pioneer

central committee went to Cincinnatus TO
seek out the great man. The chairman is
just getting over the barbcd wire fence and
the eminent Roman agriculturist has at that

1t was but the work of n moment to unyoke
old Brin and Bally and accept the office of
dictator. Putting on his toga, the great man
hours. lie went to the house, washed his
hands in tin basin of cistern water, with
soft soap, put some fresh fine cut in the in
side pocket of his toga, and was drawing n
salary on the following Monday Mt o'clock.
The first thing he did was to call for more
troops. He then marched against the enemy
and captured everybody. He then returned,
having been dictator sixteen days at 81 ger
day. He drew his pay and resigned to accept
the portfolio of buckwheater on his own
property.
We have American to-day who could
accept the command of our regular army,
whip the Apaches, and be back on the farm

and got home in time to do his fall blowing.

A Shave and a Suicide.

LYONS, N. Y, June l6.-To-day the
trial of Farmer David II. Converse, for
the murder of his wife, was to have begun
in Lyons. He celebrated his ODD birthday
in jail yesterday, and asked to be allowed
to shave himself for his trial to morrow.
The sheriff gave him a razor and went
away for a short time. Ten minutes
later the cries of the prisoners in the cell
called him back and he found that Con
verse had cut his throat from ear to ear in
his cell. Physicians sewed up the wound
but there is little hope of his recovery.
He left a letter saying that his counsel had
deserted him, and that being innocent of
the awful charge against him, lie dreaded
a trial. His son, to whom he turned
over all his property as soon as he was
arrested, so as to get good attorneys for
the defense, has spent all of the old mans
money in drunkenness and riotous living,
and the prisoner was then left without
friends or any pecuniary help Tor his de-
fence. The sheriff believes that this and
long confinement in Jail have made the
old man insane.

Result of Interrupting a Converse


New YORK, June l6.-Thore was a
lively time in the Windsor hotel for a few
moments this afternoon. 1t was | o'clock,
and the main hall, in which is the office,
was crowded with people. There were
many Wall street bankers and brokers and
spectators in the crowd. One of these
was lsador Wormser, of the banking firm
of |. x S. Wormser. Beside him was A.
l.. Myers, the importer, and they were
engaged in earnest conversation. Sam
uel Lavanburg, a dry goods merchant who
has seat in the stock exchange and is a
heavy operator, sauntered up the hall
with a Light umbrella in his hand. He
paused as he saw Mr.. Myers, and, step
ping up to him, said Myers, | would
Ike to see you before you 60" Mr..
Wormser looked up and said sharply {:
What right have you to interrupt gen
tlemen when they are talkIng?'b Mr..
Lavanburg retorted Il wasn't aware that
| was intcrrupting a gentleman. Mr..
Wormser sprang to his feet, and with his
umbrella struck Mr.. Lavanburg, knock
ing his hat off. Then the engagement
became general. Accounts of bystand
ers differ as to the manner in which
Mr.. Lavanburg resented the blow. Some
say that he dropped his umbrella and
struck his adversary a blow in the face
with his fist, and others say that he struck
him with his umbrella. Before either
could do more the stout porter of the ho-
tel separated them aud friends hurried
them off. The men have been on very
friendly terms for some time. Mr.. Law
anburg has been a bull on stocks, while
Mr.. Wormser has been a bear. Both are
Hebrews. According to Charles d. Keep,
OF the Wall Street Ne,cs, the original
quarrel sprang mp in this way Meeting
Mr.. Wormser one evening in the Wind
sor hotel Mr.. L%avanburg said to him, Il
have great faith in st. Paul" why do
you 20 back on your religion?' sarcastic
ally asked Mr.. Wormser. Since then the
two have been enemies.

ciple of so vast a charge as a separate

ditions which Mr.. Gladstone himself has
declared to be indispensable. The
bill recently rejected by parliament,
in my opinion, satisfies none
of the condition. We are not assured that
it will or can be reconstructed in such n
manner as to remove the objections OF
many OF those even who voted for 1t.
The measure Is recommended as Just and
more strongly as the only means for the
restoration OF social order in Ireland with
out resort to stringent coercion. My
opinion Is, that 1t Is question less oil
justice or right than OF expediency. Ii
Ireland had claimed independence, then
the question oil justice or right might De

asserted, and the government maintains

Duty on Wool.

WASHINGTON, June l6.-In reporting
to the house adversely Representative
Grosvenor's resolution providing for the
restoration of the tariff of 1867 upon
wool, the committee on ways and means
submit that the duty upon imported wool
is proved by testimony derived from both
argument and experience to be injurious
to all classes and beneficial to none. 1t
drives from our market many kinds of
wool not raised here but indispensable to
the successful manufacture OF wooden
goods. 1t gives European manufacturers
exclusive use of these woods and therefore
a monopoly of the goods made of them,
and consequently of the markets Of the
world. The committee therefore recon-
mend that the resolution lie on the table,
but that the prayer of the textile workers
in Philadelphia should he granted-that
duties on wool should be repealed and
duties on wooden manufacturers be reduc-
ed to at least an equal extent.

The Cause of the Crime:

New YORK. June 16 -Physicians say
that if young Thompson improves as fast
during the next forty eight hours as he
has during the past twenty-four, he will
be out Of danger. From interviews with
schoolmates and friends of the young man,
and with some of the intimate acquaint-
anccs of his wife, among the shop girls in
the store where she worked, the theory is
advanced that Thompson was Impelled to
his dreadful crime by dependency. 1t
appears that when he married the girl he
expected remittances from home that
these. however, were stopped that his
money was all gone that his board bill of
$75 was due to-day and hat he had not
told his bride of the financial straits in
which he was. Mrs. Pratt, who dined
with the couple, yesterday, says that
Thompson was very low spirited. and that
both she and his wife tried to cheer him
up, but without avail. The belief is ex-
pressed that Thompson began to brood
over his troubles, and rather than meet
an angry father or break his penniless
condition to his young wife, and be turned
out Of the hotel, he concluded to end her
existence and his own.

CALIFORNIA; Wheat Crop.

SAN Francisco, June l6.-It was
feared that the north winds which have
prevailed along the coast during the last
week had seriously injured the prospects
of a good wheat crop. Reports Just re-
ceived from all the wheat counties of the
state show that only four counties have
been affected and these only in a slight
degree. Present reports confirm the
previous one, that this years wheat crop
will be one of the heaviest ever harvested
in California.
