The Census Office Removals.
70 the Editor of The Dispatch:

To the Editor of The Dispatch:
In your paper of the Sd inst. your WASH
ington staff correspondent has an article in
regard to the removal of certain clerks in
the Census Department, containing several
important errors, which 1 hope you will
have the fairness to correct.
Your correspondent Gays that Mrs. Bald
win, of Meadville, "a widow with two chill
dren,' was among the clerks removed; that
she is a daughter of Mrs. Ray, of Meadville,
who recently lost 5000 by the Delamater
failure, the Delamaters having taken this
sum on deposit, promising good interest,
only, two weeks before the crash that over
whelmed them.n
In the interest of truth and fair play, will
you allow me to correct several errors in
the foregoing. First, it is not true that Mrs.
Baldwin is a widow. Second, Mrs, Ray
never had 5000 in the Delamater bank.
Third, she did deposit $3.50 in that bank last
October at the usual rate of interest, nearly
two months prior to the "crash," which, l
am sorry to say, she will lose. / am sorry if
Mrs. Baldwin has lost her clerkship, but it
is not fair to manufacture sympathy for her
case at the expense of truth. JUSTICE.

A PRACTICAL ILLUSTRATION.
How a anker Taught an Editor Goo,
Silver Lesson.

How q anker Taught an Editor Good
Silver Lesson.
Washington Post.l
Eight years ago Mr.. James T. Hayden went
from New York to New Orleans and to-day
ranks as one of the leading financiers of the
Crescent City. He is President of the Whit
ney National Bank and came to Washington
to have a talk with Secretary Foster on
monetary matters. In conversation with a
Post reporter at the Arlington last night he
said:
slam Republican, but am bound to ad-
init that President Cleveland's letter on tho
silver question was one of the best acts of
his life. He was correct in his position and
his party will have to acknowledge the
soundness of his views. Don'tthink that we
of the South have gone mad after the free
coinage of silver. At meeting in New Or.
leans the other day where 10 banks were
represented, vote was taken and l3 eX-
pressed their hostility to silver coinage.
II will tell you story for illustration.
The editor of one of our home papers pub
lished an article taking extreme pro-slver
ground. The people, he said, wanted it.
They wanted to hear the jingle of honest
money in their pockets. They wanted silver
for travelling expenses and various other
things.
We'll it happened that this identical ed
itor Ia good friend of mine, too) came into
expense of a trip East. OF course, l agreed
to accommodate him, and told an employe
to bring me bag with 500 silver dollars in it.
The bag was produced, but my editorial
friend refused point blank to have the bulky
coin. Then 1 said to him: Here is an ed
itorial in this mornings issue of your paper,
penned by yourself, in which you claim peo
pie want silver very badly in this country
You say that they want it for their travelling
expenses, yet you are going to travel and re-
fuse to take single dollar
"'Now,' continued, don't write any more
such stuff. 1t is rubbish; you don't know
what you are talking about He saw the
point and smilingly took a package OF $40
notes instead of the coin he had SO highly
lauded.
"Free coinage would be the most disas-
trous thing that could befall us. An inter-
national agreement through congress of
nations as the President of the Bank of
England said to me year ago, would be the
only feasible way to bring it about, and it is
hardly worth while saying that such an
agreement is improbable, if not impossible"

FAMINE IMMINENT IN MEXICO.
Too Much Rain in One Section and None IL
Other Ruins Crops.

Too Much Rain in One Section and None In
Other Ruins Crops.
ST. LOUIS Aug. 5-The latest adyices from
the City of Mexico are to the effect that
great deal of apprehension is felt in that
country in regard to crop prospects. An
alarming state of affairs exists in the princi-
pal grain producing districts, owing to long
continued drouths, while in the State of
Vera Cruz where large crops were expected
to be harvested, heavy rains, which have
fallen incessantly since the 18th ultimo
have caused the Papaloapam and San Juan
rivers to leave their banks, and the extern
sive farming tracts along their banks are
under water. All crops in consequence are
reported to be failure, and the situation in
Vera Cruz is desperate.
Cotton mas been heavily damaged, and the
city of Tlacotalpam IS threatened The
rivers are increasing in volume, and the peo-
pie residing there fear total destruction of
the place. The crops between Tuxtepec
and Omattan have been swept away and
these two towns are under water as are also
four other towns. The corn crop of Sofa
yento which promised a large yield this sea-
son, is q total loss and inundated for
miles Hundreds of cattle have been ruined
The fruit crop is a partial loss, and If the
flood continues every tree will be killed.
Unless good drencning rain falls in the
drouth-stricked districts within the next
three or four days complete failure of the
crops will result, and a famine stares the
people in the face.

LOOKING TOWARD WASHINGTON.
The Pittsburg Lumber Dealer Tells of the
Trend of Trade.

Seattle Post-Integeacer.i
Hon. n. Ii. Voegtly, a lumber dealer of
Allegheny City, is at the Rainier Hotel with
his wife. They are on a pleasure trip to the
West. Mr.. Voegtly is one of the prominent
Republicans in his part of Pennsylvania
and he has been a member of the lower
branch of the State Legislature.
In the course of an interview last night
he said; 1--WE are manufacturing the lumber
which is floated down The Allegheny river
but we find that the supply is rapidly giving
out, SO we are turning more and more to the
Michigan market, but Michigans pine is
going, too. So think that before long the
Pacific Northwest VIII be the great source
of lumber supply for the whole United
States.
"In spite of the competition of the South,
PENNSYLVANIA still holds her own in the pro-
duction of iron and steel. One reason is that
we can make a better quality of steel than
the South can turn out with its ores. We
have been experimenting for years in the
manufacture of steel; fortunes have been
sunk in the enterprise but now the returns
are coming in. You have coal and limestone
here, and experts say that the mines of
Washington produce an uncommonly fine
quality of ore. With competition cut off by
the high freight rates necessarily imposed
upon such heavy material brought from the
East, do not see why this should not be-
come a great iron producing region"

WHY THEY TWINKLE.

When Eve had led her lord away.
And Cain had killed his brother
The stars and flowers, the poets say,
Agreed with one another
To cheat the cunning tempter's art,
And teach the race its duty,
By keeping on its wicked heart
Their ewes of light and beauty.
A million sleepless lids, they say,
Will be at least warning;
And so the flowers would watch by day,
The stars from eve to morning
On hill and prairie, field and lawn.
Their dewy eyes upturniDg,
The flowers still watch from reddening dawn
Till western skies are burning.
Alas! each hour Of daylight tells
A tale of shame so crushing
That some turn white as sea-bIeached shells,
And some are always blushing.
But when the patient stars look down
On all their light discovers
The traitors smiles. the murdereris frown,
The lips of lying lovers
They try to shut their saddening eyes,
And III the vain endeayor
We soc them twinkling in the skies,
Aud SO they wink forever.

Robert Emmet,s sMeetheart.

To the Editor Of the Dispatch:
For the Information of few Irish people,
will you kindly inform me whether or not
Robert Emmet's sweetheart, Miss Curran,
married after his exeeution2 P.F.
PITFsBURG August 5.
Miss Curran never married. She died
shortly after the execution of her lover, it
Is said, of a broken heart. Her story is told
by Washington Irving in his sketch book in
the story entitled "The Broken Heart" and
also by Moore in the poem, of which the fol-
lowing is the first stanza:
She is far from the land where her young hero
sleeps,
And lovers around her are signing;
But coldly she turns from their gaze and weeps,
For her heart in his grave is lying.l

THE LARGEST PAINTING.
-Jacopo Robusti's Execution the Quickest
and Boldest of All Artists.

New York Advertiser.1
Jacopo Robusti named Tintoretto, born at
Venice in 15l2, pupil of Titan. was an artist
whose execution was the boldest and the
quickest, and his canvases the largest. His
largest work is the Paradise in the grand
salon of the Doge's Palace at Venice Tho
painting is 81 feet wide and 81 feet high. He
was one of the most rapid painters, but his
work shows no sign of hurry. If we include
the decoration of walls and ceilings, this size
has been exceeded by Sir James Thornhills
fine painting on the ceiling of the great hall
at Greenwich Hospital, l02 feet by SO feet,
representing the founders, William Ill and
Queen Mary, surrounded by the attributes
of national prosperity
Michael Angelo also executed an immense
painting of this description in the Sistine
Chapel of the Vatican. He was commits
stoned by Pope Julius II. to paint the
yaulted roof of the chapel. measuring 1873
feet in length and 43 feet in width. The
painting represents the creation of man, his
fall, and the early history of the world-with
references to mans final redemption and
salvation.
