ACHIEVED A COUP.
The President of Nicaragua Turns tho
Tables on His Opponents.

Tables on His Opponents.
MANAGUA, Nicaragua, Aug. 26.-Granada,
OF Sunday was the scene of a coupe d.
main by which President Roberts Sacasa
tried tried to rid himself of his most prom
inent opponents, and at the same time nip
in the bud the possibility of growing revo-
luton. TIL gentlemen arrested include
two ex-presidents of Nicaragua, and the
editor and owner of the most Important
daily journal in the country. Granada is
practically in a state of siege, and troops
here at the capital are confined
to barracks. In addition the opposition to
President Sacasa is growing daily and af-
fairs are assuming serious position. For
years vigorous rivalry has existed between
the progresslonists, whose headquarters are
at Granada, and the Catholic church party,
whose strongholds are Leon md Manaeua.
Granada for many terms past has furnished
the country with the president but at last
election Sacasa, a Leon man, was chosen
president, the progressionists say, by undue
means. He had previously been senator
and on the mysterious death of
President Carazo, two years ago,
was chosen to fill out the unfinished term.
This was lot approved by the progresslon-
lists and Saoasa became more unpopular as
it became known that he, backed by the
church party, was leaving no stone un-
turned to bring about his reelection. For
some time it has been whispered that an
attempt would be made to GUST him, but
the coup by himself was II complete sur
prise. The gentlemen arrested are ex-
President Chamorro, ex-President Xavala,
Don Alselmo Rivas, editor of the leading
newspaper of the country, Don En-
rique Guzeman, son of Gen. Guzeman,
aud Don j. ID. Rodriguez. formerly attached
to the legation at Washington. Their ar
rest caused great excitement in Granada,
and the prison was attacked. The exact
number of casualties is not known, but it is
reported that the chief officer of police and
at least six soldiers were killed and about
fifty. citizens shot. The prisoners were
subsequently brought to M%anagua, where
they were sentenced to be escorted across
the frontier and ordered never to return to
this country under penalty of death. Gran
ada has been placed in q state of siege. AS
some of the prisoners belong to wealthy and
important families in Nicaragua the matter
caused excitement, and further trouble i'd
expected.
1t is known that u numter of other persona
are under surveillance by Sacasa's spies. The
present political troubles do not affect the
progress of work on the maritime canal,
though Don Rodriguez, one of the gentle-
men exiled, is known to be a bitter enemy
Of the American enterprise. This opposi-
ton ID said to have grown from the snub
bing which Rodriguez thought he received
from the American secretary of state,
while attached to the legation at Washing
ton.

SufferinSs of Russian Jews.

LONDON, Aug. a6.-The Pail Mall Gazette
to-day says the prince of Wales is taking
great interest in the matter of the persecu-
ton of jew in Russia and in the condition
of immigrants of that nationality who are
coming to England. Though he has not
taken any direct measures to assist the
peedy Jews, fearing that such action on his
part would wound the feelings of the Rus
slams, he has indirectly given much assist
ance to the Anglo-Jewish committees. A
London clergyman residing in the province
of kazan, Russia, has written n letter to
the Pail Mall Gazette, in which he gives a
narrowing description of the sutferings of
unfortunate peasants of that province,
brought ON by the failure of crops. A large
number of them. he says, nre in an abso-
Lutte state of starvation. Many in their eff
forts to sustain life have been compelled to
eat grass and leaves. There is much ex-
citement throughout the province among
the poorer class and an outbreak may occur
at any time.

Changes Urged by do youur.

CHcAao, Aug. Exchanges were made
to-day in the interior plans of the manu-
features building of the Worlds fair,
which add ten acres to the floor of the
building and give ii forty acres available
for exhibits and avenues, making the larg-
est exposition building ever constructed.
Music hall and the shoe and leather build
ing are forced out by the new arrange
ment to other parts Of the ground.
The change was the result of the
protest by Vice President de Young, of the
national commission, who demonstrated
that under the previous arrangement there
would DO barely room for foreign exhibits,
thus completely shutting out American
manufactures. The proposition of Nj.
Elffel, of Paris. to erect II tower at the ex-
position was to-day definitely rejected. An
American company, headed by w. Il. Hale,
will, it is said, submit a more acceptable
plan.

= Charles A. Dana in the North American
Review for August: Some time in Feb
ruary or March, 1864, a slender and prepos-
sssisng young fellow, between 90 and 26 ap.
parently, applied at the war department in
Washington for employment as a spy within
the confederate lines. The main body OF
the Army of Northern Virginia Was then
living at Gordonsville, and the headquarters
of the Army of the Potomac were at Gull
pepper Court House. General Grant had
not yet come from the west to take COM
mand of the momentous campaign which
finally opened with his movement into the
Wilderness in the beginning Of May.
The young man who sought this terrible
service was we'll dressed and intelligent,
and professed to be animated by motives
purely patriotic. He was a clerk in the
treasury department or the interior depart
ment, or possibly in one of the bureaus
of the war department, / don't re-
member which. All that he asked
was that he should have a
horse and an order which would carry him
safely through the federal lines; and in re-
turn he undertook to bring information
from General Lees army and from the
government of the confederacy in Rich
mond. He understood perfectly we'll the
perilous nature of the enterprise he pro-
posed.
Finding that the applicant bore a good
character in the Office where he was en-
ployed, it Was determined to accept his pro-
posal. He was furnished with a horse. an
order that would pass him through the IN
ion lines, and also, l believe, with q moder-
ate sun OF money; n then he departed.
Two or three weeks later he reported at the
Wal department. He had been in Gordons-
vile and Richmond; had obtained the pom
fdence OF the confederate authorities. an d

son Davis to Mr.. Clement G. Clay, the agent

Pleasant journeys can always BIO had via
the Wisconsin Central line. The employed
are courteous and obliging, the sleeping and
dining cars and day coaches are peers Of
any in the northwest. Tho leaving hours

Divorce Cynicism.

One of the society paper cynics has been
telling Of an interview with Mime. D'Albert,
the maker of divorce gowns. The interview
was in this strain:
II do not make dresses for all divorced
women,'' she says. II only work for those
whose trials have continued for several
days."
"Could not a welI-dressed woman" l
asked. "produce her effect on the jury in
a single day?'
'Impossible," said the dressmaker.
"What the jury needs is contrast. 1t must
say, All. she wore black lace yesterday; she
il in China silk to-day Then on the third
day the new gown moves tho jurors pro-
foundry, and after that they are hopelessly
gone"
How many dresses" I asked. SHOULD a
candidate for divorce wear at trial?"
Just as many" SAID Nine d'Albert, Gas
there are days occupied in it's hearing. I
never knew u woman to lose her suit who
wore n new and stylish gown every day. l
never knew one to win who wore the same
gown twice."
"Then short trials are fatal to your sys-
temp / observed.
absolutely" said Mime. d'Albert. II
think that short divorce trials are a dis
grace to our country. The husbands law
ysrs invariably hurry through the case in
order that the wife may not have the chance
of appealing to the jury in another dress.
What would he thought il society scam
ps'ed through a dance; and divorce is far
more fashionable than dancing"

The New Years Ball,

Ono of the evidences of waning ardor in
the attachment to Mr.. McAllister is the
baokwardness OF the movement for the
New Years ball. This Now Years ball has
alpays been one of MIR. MoAllistsr's hob
biss. He has taken an immense pride in
it. Up to within q few weeks he seemed to
be certain that al OF last years subscribers
would CONS forward again. Contrary to
Nj. McAllister's expectations. it not to tho
expectations Of other prominent social
figures, all of these subscribers have not
only not yet come forward but a largo per
centaae say they dom in ond to.
Mr.. McAllister 10 generally quoted as say
ing that he will have thu bali if he has 10
pay for IL himself. But this is q rash threat.
It would cost hnlf the profits on "Society rs
/ Have Found It," .It
Probably tho time act for tho ball in not
fortunate. just at the Now Year period
thee are an immense number of private
gatherings all aoramblina for social atten-
tion. The crush at this season is known to
be 30 great that the managers of the Char
ity ball have boon induced to move forward
the date OF that function.
