Young love lives at least twenty-four

Young love lives at least twenty-four
months each year; but as it is natural
for youngpeoplc, if the object is worthy
of love, loving it good deal won hurt
either of them, for in youth love is gen.
orally as harmless as spruce gum. and
has no more care for the future than q
last years grasshopper. And I never
yet knew young lovers to care for the
substantials Of life. Bonbons and
oranges are generally good enough for
them. The pork and beans Of every
day life knocks all the romance ont Of
the affair. Chicago Ledqer.

A Story of tho Late Delegate Raymond.

Washington spccial.-The late Delegate
Raymond Of Dakota was the last man to
see Gen. Mcpherson alive at the battie of
Atlanta. He was in the act OF delivering a
message to the general when the party of
confederate horscmcn came upon them, and
MePherson was shot down and Raymond
was taken prisoner and sent to Anderson.
Vile, After he had been there n year or SO
there was an exchange OF prisoners, and all
the men in the prison were assembled in
line to hear read the list Of those who were
to be exchanged. Those whose names
were read were ordered to an
swer "I1ere," and step forward. When the
officer in charge was going over the roster
he called out the name OF one who had
died the night before. Raymond had tho
presence Of mind to answer Here" in he
place Of the dead man and ste ppe,l forward,
and although his deception was immedi-
ately discovered by his fellow prisoners,
they were all too generous to give him
away. He was exchanged under tho name
OF his dead comrade, returned North and
re-cntered the army.

THE WORK OF THE FLAMES.
Fire at Denver Destroys a Large
Amount of Property.
Twenty People Hurt in a Picnic Row
Near Boston.
Denyer,s Loss.

DENVER, Col, July Sat LIS this
morning fire was discovered in the Acad-
emyof Music, and before the fire depart
ment could get to work the flames were
leaping through the building in half a
dozen places, and in a few minutes the
building was one mass of flames. The
heat was SO intolerable that the tiremen
were driven from the front, being unable to
stand the intense heat. 1t now became evil
dent that the academy was doomed, and
the firemen devoted themselves to saving
the Rocky Mountain News building and
the building of Good s. McClintic. which
were adjoining, which are now On
fire. The flames spread so rapidly
and the heat became so intense that in less
than fifteen minutes after the discovery of
the fire the wires of the Western Union
company. whose office is in the block di-
rectly across the alley from the academy,
were melted in two, and all the service was
destroyed. The operators managed to save
the WheatstOne and other valuable inStru-
mentS, though several of the relays were
destroyed. The fire was the quickest ever
witnessed in Denver. A hundred engines
could not have saved the building, which
was a mass of ruins within an hour after
the alarm was given. The ground floor
was occupied as business houses in which
several men were sleeping at the time of
the fire, all of whom were rescued by the
firemen, except Tim Enright, an old roust-
about, who worked in the saloon of John
Kineavy. Enright retired at II O'Clock
last night in an intoxicated condition, and
was forgotten until too late, and he pc
rished in the flames. The cause of the fire
is at present unknown. AS near as could
be learned the losses are as follows:
P. f. Hughes, on Academy of Music, $685.
600; insurance, $4,000.

HOME RULE FOR CITIES.

Last Sundays New York Star has two
page double-leaded and illustrated article
advocating the union of New York and
all its neighborng cities into one grand
metropolis, to be called Manhattan. The
scheme proposes the union of New York,
Brooklyn. Long Island City, East New
York, Astoria, New Lots, all of Kings and
Richmond, and parts of Queens and West
chester counties, which will make a city of
5000, 900 population. The arguments
advanced by the Star that annexation
is demanded by New York's commercial
growth. by its penned-up population, and
by the necessity to have a great home rule
metropolis. Whether the proposed union
be accomplished or not the latter argument
ought to prevail, not only with regard to
New York, but to all other large and i'm
portant cities. There can be no good gov
eminent, municipal or otherwise, without
responsibility and without complete and
adequate powers A city government
ought to be as independent as that of a
state. Whenever city is compelled to 60
to the state legislature for authority to do
any act important to the well-being of the
pGOplo VI GiIo CltH III HcCSSSdIily HAS Il uO-
pressing effect on the energies of the city.
Such condition of dependence destroys
the sense of responsibility and makes the
city feel unequal to great enterprises. The
feeling that they do not possess the requisite
power and ability cramps the adminstra-
ton of a municipality and often leads to
the defeat of measures that would be for
the city's improvement. The independent
towns of Italy and the free cities OF North
ern Germany are examples of municipal
independence. And it is possible that the
time is coming when all our great American
cities will ask just what is proposed for
New York, that they be given charters
which will guarantee to them absolute home
rule.

Special to the Globe.
LOUISVILLE, KY. July 6.-The inmates
of Annie Jones' house on Greene street be-
tween Sixth and Seventh had dreadful
experience about o'clock this morning.
About that time. in the midst of the 5th of
July revels, all the lights were suddenly
extinguished, the women were tossed about
by unseen hands, missiles of every kind
began to fly about the rooms, unearthly
wells were heard III every part of the house,
and for some time the house was a veritable
pandemonlum. The women, of whose class
superstition is characteristic, fed in fright,
declaring That ghosts had taken possession
of Ets house. Some time after the noises
had ceased the Jones woman returned and
lighted the gas throughout the house. The
furniture in three rooms she found smashed
to pieces. erockery broken, the bed clothing
cut to shreds and confusion reigned su-
preme throughout the house. A curious
crowd soon filled the place, and the prem
lses were searched, but no traces of those
who committed the outrage could
be found. The women believe
firmly that the work was that
of a preternatural agency and claim that
the house has been haunted for number
OF years. There is story current in the
vicinity that upon the site where the house
stands a murder was committed years ago
and the bodies of the two murdered men
lied buried in an abandoned well beneath
the house The police think party of
thieves took this sensational course to scare
the girls and rob tho house, or that the
work was that of crowd of drunken hood
lums out on a lark.

WeIIConceaIed Fraud.

PHILADELPHIA, July 6. = An extra
force OF accountants went to work yester-
terday on the books at the office of the
Chesapeake & Delaware Canal company,
and are still at work. President Gilling-
ham said to-day that it was doubtful if the
regular books of the company would show
anything of the over issue. Nothing has
been shown yet. Bonds have been re-
turned now to the amount of S 200, 900, and
still the directors are unable to
designate the fraudulent bonds. In addition
to the embeZZlement of $50, 900 of the fund
on deposit at the Provident Life and Trust
company, the investigation has revealed
thus far further defalcation of $40, 900 and
over at the Philadelphia bank, all of which
was concealed by false entries in the books
The Press says:
Sufficient has been learned by those having
in charge the investigation into the over
issue OF the Chesapeake u Delaware Canal
company's bonds to state that Messrs Lesley
aud Wilson were not the only persons who
were benefited by their stealings. The
names of FIVE Of the men who negotiated the
sales of the fraudulent bonds have been OBJ
tanned, the brokers located who handled
most of the securities, and partial list of the
victims secured. 1t was stated to-day
that it was not deemed advisable to
arrest any of the parties implicated just at
this time, but that it was only necessary to
keep the suspected parties under survei-
lance. This is being done. Should any of
them attempt to leave the city, their arrests
will follow. The scheme was one of gigantic
robbery, out of which Lesley and Wilson
protitted but little themselves. The ereater
part Of the $615,000 which was stolen, aside
from that used TO pay the interest, was
divided among q coterie of men who were
nothing more than blackmalers, but who will
nOWfhgure as demonstrators.

ENGLISH ELECTIONS.

To the Editor of the Globe:
Is there no general election day in Eng
land or why is it that the elections for mem
bers Of parliament are so scattered? Can a
member of parliament represent more than
one district at one time, and if not, why was
Mr.. GLADSTONE elected for two? Please
answer through the GLOBE. J. 3. II.
st. Paul, July 6.
There is no general election day in
England. Each borough fixes the date of
its own election, and that is why the list
extends over several weeks.
A member of parliament cannot represent
more than one borough at once. But it is
very common for prominent English politi-
clans to run in several boroughs at the same
time and if elected in more than one he
selects which of them he will represent.
Mr.. GLADSTONE has for long time been
the representative of the Midlothian con-
stituency and was again elected from that
borough. In the borough of Leithburg
there was man named JACKS,
of great personal popularity who
represented that constituency in the
last parliament. He opposed GLADsToNE's
home-rule bill, and the Liberals were anXi-
Gus to secure his defeat, But they could
not find candidate with the courage to
run against JACKS, and in their extremity
they nominated Mr.. GLADSTONE against
him. Whereupon JACKS withdrew from
the canvass. and GLADSTONE was elected
without opposition. This is why Mr..
GLADSTONE is elected from two boroughs,
but the probabilities are that he will con-
tinue to honor his old Midlothian constit-
uency by remaining as their representative
in parliament.

CHICAGO, July 6.-Pat Sheedy has re-
turned from New York. He attributes
Mayor Grace's refusal to permit the Sulli-
van-Mltchell fight to the jealousy of the
County Democracy toward Tammany.
''Tammany," said Sheedy. twas my friend,
and it is the only political society in New
York that has given anything to the Par
nell fund. Consequently they were getting
praise for it at all the Parnell meetings.
When l was making arrangements for the
Sulliyan-Mitchell match at the Polo
grounds some of the Tammany people
came to me and asked if l would give an
exhibition at the Madison Square Garden
for the benefit of the Parnell fund. | said
would if Sullivan was willing. l went
to see the champion, and he agreed
at once. AS soon as the County Demo-
cracy had heard of this they were jealous,
and going to Mayor Grace got him to refuse
a license on account of decision rendered
on the 9th of June. that all places with
platforms must have theatrical license.
and if they have thatit does away with the
liquor license. After the letter was sent to
Inspector Byrne telling him not to permit
me to hold the exhibition. deputation
OF the County Democracy, composed of the
regular heelers, called on me. They offered
to get me my license if / would give them
10 per cent of the proceeds. l told them I
would tell them in an hour, and then con-
suited my friends of Tammany. They adj
vised me to go ahead, but l was not going
to let,,the County Democracy have the laugh
at them, so | went and told the heelers that
L would have nothing to do with them, and
that is the whole reason why did not get

ENCOURAGING TO BUSINESS


The R. G. DUN mercantile agency pub
fishes statement of the failures in the
United States for the first half of the year
1886. 1t shows very marked decrease in
the number of failures, which is an indica-
ton that the trade of the country is in
state of surprising prosperity, and especially
when we consider the strain which COM
merclal interests have been called upon
to undergo from the loss of conf
dence incident to the labor troubles
From the table contained in the Dun
bulletin we learn that the failures in the
United States for the first six months of
this year are 5, 156 in number, as compared
with 6, 004 for the same period last year,
being decrease of S48. The liabilities
for the first half of this year amounted to
only $50, 600, 900, as compared with STA
900, 900 for the first six months of 1885.
The DUN agency thinks that the labor
troubles Of the last six months have been
fruitful of good to the business interests
in that serious doubt has been weighed
and measured and the extent of an evil
heretofore unknown has been pretty well
ascertained. 1t is a miracle that under the
strain OF the past six months mercantile
disasters were not more extensive. Now
that confidence has been restored there is a
much clearer and better prospect for the
commerce of the country. The next six
months will be even better than the
last The steady improvement in the
railroad situation is regarded as favorable
indication, as a more certain income for a
To, nj of hn1J =,
The cheapness of money, with confidence
restored, is likely to stimulate business
enterprises. The promise of an abundant
harvest is well assured, and taking it alto
gether it is difficult to imagine more
favorable set of conditions than those now
prevailing.

PASTEURsS METHOD
Used by Or. Mott in Treating a Boy
Bitten by Dog.

Special to the Globe.
NEW YORK, July 6.-The first inocula-
ton for the prevention of rabies was per-
formed by DR.. Valentine Mott yesterday
morning at the American Pasteur insti-
tuta rooms in the Carnegie laboratory. DR..
Mott, who went topParis to investigate
Pasteur's methods of protection, brought
over with him rabbit that had been inoc-
ulated by Pasteur. The animal died on
the voyage and the spinal marrow was care
fully preserved and used in pelpetuating
the disease. At first the doctor experienced
great difficulty in securing a regular Sc
quence of death and it was feared that the
virus would be exhausted, but finally he
succeeded IN producing death daily and
thus secured virus and graded strength.
Yesterday morning DR.. Newton of jersey
City presented his little son, aged IL, who
was bitten eight or nine days ago by dog
that is believed to have been rabid. DR..
Mott in performing the operation
proceeded upon Dr. Pasteurs weil-known
method. The virus was prepared by re-
ducing in chicken broth a small portion CT
the poisonous marrow of about fifteen days
ago. The puncture was made below the
chest and the little patient bore the opera
tiun manfully. The operation will be re-
peated daily until virus of the greatest
strength has been used, when it is hoped
all danger of hydrophobia will have been
