Presentiment of Death.

The subject of presentiment concern
ing death and fatality in families spoken
of in Hancock's case recalls some sad
points in the Bayard history. Few fami-
lies have been more depleted by sudden
death than the Bayards, and in many
instances there have been forcwarnings
and presentiments. 1t is said that Miss
Bayard wrote letter indicating her ap-
preaching death. There arc now in
Washington many old naval officers
who remember the interesting circum-
stances attending the death of Miss Bay
ards cousin, Charles G. Bayard, at
Mount Vesuvius. He was the favorite
son of Richard Bayard, of Philadelphia,
whose father and Secretary Bayard's
father were brothers. In 1S43, while
on board the United States ship Con-
gress. in company with several young
friends from on board, he made the as
cent of Mount Vesuvius. 1t was the
same Congress that went down in
Hampton Roads before the Merrimac,
and in the party was the same Joseph
Smith, who, as commander of the Con-
gress, had his head taken off by a cam
non ball and of whom his father said,
when he heard that the Congress was
taken: ''Then Joe is dead" In the
party also was Lehman b. Ashmead, of
Philadelphia, with whom young Bayard
afterward went to Jerusalem to visit
the Holy Sepulcher. While there they
both had tattooed on their arms, by an
old dragoman, the heraldic arms of
Jerusalem, with the date of their visit.
In the case of young Bayard the tat
tooed cross developed virulent features,
festered, and finally he became sick and
the arm became greatly swollen. He
continued TO declare that he would die,
and even after it appeared to grow en-
tirely well he was in the habit of say
ing to Mr.. Ashmead and other friends:
This arm will be the death of me yet"
Ten years afterward young Bayard left
for a cruise in the Columbia as flag
lieutenant of Commander Morris. Be
fore leaving he took sad farewell of
all his friends here, and declared to one
and all that ''they would never see him
again" He was very detected and des-
pondent. Ten years to day from his
previous visit, in company with young
Carroll Tucker, of Maryland, and few
friends, the Columbia being then ut
Naples, he made the ascent of Vesuvius
during an eruption. With him were
Rear Admiral Simpson and Rear Admit
raj Calhoun, who were then Lieuten-
ants. He had the arm of Il Prussian
army officer. He was quite gay. Just
near the Hermitage, where he had halt
ed ten years before, the party stopped,
finding it would be dangerous to go
nearer the crater AS they were turn
ing a mass of lava and rock struck
young Bayard on the arm where he had
been tattooed, cutting it fearfully and
obliterating the cross, and before the
party could reach the foot of the volca-
no he died. His mother is still living,
upward of 80 years of age. His body is
buried near the foot of Vesuvius.

ALLEGED DEFALCATIoN.

1t is alleged that one Of the elective
officers of the State Government is de-
faulteT and has fled the country. At this
writing the facts are not sufficiently known
to warrant the positive charge of embezzle-
ment, but enough is known to justify the
case being made one for public comment.
In the matter of McCarthy's supposed
crime It Is worth while to call attention to
the fact that he was once before under fire
for defalcation. He was allowed to escape
chen under the thin disguise of supple
mental report" in which the missing sum
was set forth, and which he subsequently
paid in. There appeared then no particu-
lar disposition on the part of the
State Controller to follow up the case
Al that time such publicity as the
matter received. and which aroused
she officials to such Indifferent action as
vas taken, had its origin in the efforts of
the REcoED-UNIoS to get at the bottom
facts. We are justified in the statement
Of the belief that but for the persistencv
OF this paper the whole matter would have
been kept from the public ear. We have
1t now, on the authority of the San Fran
cisco press, that it has for some time been
known that Mccarthy has been living
beyond his means, and that in official cir
oles il has been rumored for considerable
lime that he was short in his accounts OF
one fact there is no doubt whateyer-the
Clerk Of the Supreme Court has left the
State without that leave it is necessary to
obtain when the absence is to be so ex-
tended as McCarthy's destination indicates.
It is altogether probable that he is a de-
fauiter, but not in very large amount as
amounts stolen are measured in these DAYS.
1t Is true also, that the genesis and cause
OF McCarthy's wrong doing we're gambling,
wine and women.

MR. MuELLER,s REPORTS.

A good deal of talk is being INDUCED in
because Consul Mueller, at Frankfort-on-
the-Main, has seen fit to report the facts to
the State Department concerning the en-
NIFTY of Germany to certain of our ex-
ports. 1t Is even understood that the mat
Ter of his singing criticisms are to be
brought to the attention of the German
Government. Now, we have read all that
Mueller has reported. We have frequent
iy had occasion to refer to his consular re :
ports, and TO make them the subject of ed
itorial comment. We have always found
them to be practical, full of information,
clear, incisive and bold, but never to be in
any degree impertinent or improper. All
there is in the matter is this: Consul
Mueller is Tive man." and reports to the
secretary of State, as is his right and duty,
just what he thinks of the tariff policy OF
the German Empire, and informs our Gov
eminent OF all matters of fact that come to
his notice at all likely to affect orr trade
with Germany. In doing so. he calls
things by their right names, and while he
does not impugn motives, he does not fail
to penetrate DISCUSSES. He calls a spade =
spade and makes an official report read
able instead of being dull and tureid by
reason of politeness and caution. aAIore
power to Mr.. Mueller, that his example
may infect those of our representatives
abroad who draw comfortable salaries and
see little to interest our people.

activity among the people regarding this

be manifest There must be no failure of
the fair 1t comes on late, it is true, but
with determination to succeed it can be
made success. 1t requires individual
activity and consideration On the part of
the many. The committee cannot do the
work in this instance. Let no one con-
clude that the exhibit he or she can make
is too small to be worthy of attention. 1t
is in multitude Of exhibits and the many
points in the valley and hills from which
they come, that the chief value of the fair
is to be found.

Some Interesting Facts Concerning the

The shipments East of the past season,
the equiyalent-of over go full cars, as
shown by the railroad books at this station,
is the best corroborative evidence that can
be given.
The adaptability of our climate and soil
for orange culture has a very practical
demonstration in the fact that the Co.
operative Fruit Company shipped, last
week, q carload of oranges. j. F. Farms
worth, manager of the company, informs
me that they were large and of fine flavor.
and that Denver dealers pronounce them
superior to Florida and Riverside oranges.
From present indications many more trees
will be set this season.
