I was pleased to see the remarks of "Stock- :
holder" in your yesterdays edition, as to the
piOpriety of the cashiers of the banks of this
city, vouching for tho character of certain
Western Railroad Bonds. My attention was
drawn to the matter several days ago by read
ing the advertisement, and L satisfied myself
as to the facts in the case. I am glad Stock
holder has drawn public attention to it, be-
cause as il stands it has bad look. The fact
is, so far as one bank is concerned there never
was any leave given for the use of the cashiers
name What is true of that bank have no
doubt is true of all the Others. An effort was
made to secure the favor of the Cashier allud-
ed to, and he has promptly declined. He had
no time to investigate the matter, and did not
desire to, and promptly refused to authorize
his name to be used in regard to the superiori-
ty of the article to give his time to the nves-
tigation Of ths proof. He had enough else to
do; yet the name was used. An act of pre-
sumptiOn that can hardly be justified.


In what has been said above, do not by any
means intend to pass upon the excellence of
the bonds named; very likely they are all that
is claimed for them. They are not question
in this article. But the point is, the impropr-
ETY. of our Cashiers certifying to their high
character by their names. In that line, our.
cashiers should keep clear of any entangle-
ment. They stand very high in this commune
ty, and should only-with the large trusts con-
fded to them-walk in the path in which their
duty lies. Then, when they do speak, it will
be with effect. I hope and believe therefore,
that like the cashier of whom have spoken,
the names of the others have been used in a
forward manner, and if so, I trust the cashiers
will repudiate the act. DIRECTOR

Yet the circumstance that Lord Derby, the
Tory leader, desired to retain him in the Cabi-
net which he found it impossible to organize in
1855, and that Lord Palmerston kept him at the
head of the Foreign Office on coming into power
after Derby's failure, was an indication of the
manner in which he managed to conciliate, If
not entirely to satisfy all parties, and to render
England what she so often has been-a unit in
her treatment of foreign nations in time of
trouble and war. On his third re-
tirement from the foreign Office,
in 1885, Lord Derby again, as testimony 10 his
diplomatic skill, invited him to retain his posi-
ton after the radical change in the ministry,
but second time was met with a refusal. Earl
Clarendon's treatment of the questions at issue
between Great Britain and this country has not
rendered him altogether popular with us, but
his position on the Alabama claims question
was simply dictated by the almost unani-
nous sentiment of the leading statesmen
of England, and when he had such
a weak specimen of an immature diplomatist to
deal with as Reverdy johnson, it was not sur
prising that his own views prevailed throughout
the negotiation, and that the treaty, commenced
while Lord Stanley was at the head of the
British Foreign Office, was a complete surren-
der on the part of the United States The
Senate, however, promptly repudiated Mr..
Johnson's course, and Lord Clarendon subse-
quently handled the Alabama claims and other
questions at issue with this coun-
try in a manner rather more reserved than
before. Since Mr.. Motley's appointment to the
English mission, the only important question
affecting the two countries which received atten-
ton was that touching upon naturalization, and
the treaty successfully negotiated by him last
month with Lord Clarendon was one of more
than usual importance, as it sets at rest
questions which have been at issue for
nearly century, which have actually involved
the two countries in war, and which have been
the almost uninterrupted source of trouble
even in time of peace. AS the new treaty is
based upon the American theory of allegiance
and is a practical abandonment of the English
policy its negotiation was as creditable to Lord
Clarendon's liberal craftsmanship as it is salts
factory to the people of the United States

rine Grimston, daughter of the Earl of YER

Special Despatch 10 The Evening IetegTdph


READING, June 27.-The destruction of the
new car works of the Philadelphia and Reading
Railroad Company, located to the north of the
upper station, at this place, has thrown out of
employment some five hundred men, most of
whom have large families The fire burned
fiercely throughout yesterday, and still to-day
there is dense mass of smoke issuing from the
ruins. The building, which was erected in 1865,
cost $4,000, and nothing but the bare walls
now remain. A great portion of these will have
to be taken down, as the intense heat has trans
formed the stone into lime. The loss will not be
so severe as was at first imagined, but will even
then foot up somewhere in the neighborhood of
$1250OO. The building covered a space of 700
by 165 feet, and was the largest of the kind
hereabouts. This is the third shop that the
company has lost. The fire originated in the
vicinity of the oil room, and it is believed that it
was the result of spontaneous combustion. The
company, it is understood, will Immediately
proceed to re-erect the works.

Some weeks ago, says the Pittsburg CONNER
cidI of Saturday, under the head of an Aquatic
Sensation" was published an item to the effect
that young lady of this city proposed to enter
the aquatic lists. Since that time efforts have
been made to arrange a race, and at last it ap-
pears that there is to be female contest on the
upper Monongahela course


The Nonpareil Club of this city give picnic
at Glenwood Grove on the 10th of July, and
offer as a prize to the best female oarswoman a
lady's elegant gold watch and chain. Three
girls have already signifed their intention to
compete for the prize, and two of them are al
ready preparing for the contest. Their names
are Miss Lotta McAlees, Miss Sheridan, of the
South Side, and Miss Miller, of Soho. Word
has been sent to the young lady that the Mckee
Club proposes to put in the field, and 1t is pro-
bable that there will be other contestants.


Miss McAlees and Miss Sheridan have already
commenced practising, and one of them on
Thursday evening rowed about in scull boat,
handling the oars gracefully and skilfully.


Some of the oarsmen deprecate the movement,
and say that it is calculated to make the manly
art of rowing burlesque, and bring it into dis
repute. One of them, on this ground, refused to
allow Lotta the use of his scull boat.


Others think that the girls have perfect right
to enter the aquatic lists if they see fit to, and
say they will do all in their power to make the
race success.


The race will be over the upper Monongahela
course at Glenwood, and will probably be one
mile, q half mile to the stake boat and return,
so that an excellent opportunity will be bad for
viewing the entire contest.

The New York Sun calls for the dis
nissal of the cadets in the. military and
naval schools whose appointments were
secured through money paid to Con
qressmen or their friends. The Blade
seconds the motion. So do WEEDS.
GAZETTE This will do more to put an
end to this sort of corruption than the
expulsion of Congressman. though that
IS plainly enough the fate which is their
due. BY the dismissal ofcadets who
secured their places by corruption, cases
can be reached in which the guilty Rep
.resentative is. likely to go unpunished,T
Take Bill Mungen's case. He pleads
that, whatever his friends may have
done, he has been guilty of no seorEup4
ton. Though everybody is firmly per-
suaded Of his guilt, # may be difficult 70
prove it. But the fact remains that the
cadet got his place by improper and cor
rupt means. The boy at school is no
doubt innocent enough, but this is one
of the cases where the sins of the fath-
ers affect the feelings and fortunes of in
nocent children. There is no way for
Justice to be done, and stop put to this
form of corruption, but by making the
cadets so appointed walk the plank
Every appointment so made, doubtless
shut out the child of some citizen too
honest to back his application with
money.

We heartily commend the following


from the Nashville Banner of late date:


"The midnight rufianism, which took


shape in the brutal murder of colored


man, near Chattanooga on Saturday night
as detailed in another column, was a wan
ton outrage, and, as such, demands the
sternest reprobation. Even if the mur.
dered man had been guilty of some helm
GUS crime, there still would be no iustif


cation for clubbing and shooting him to
death, while the law was potent to mete
out punishment. We are not of those
who anticipate Congressional Reconstruct
tion in Tennessee, but if it should come
in any shape, no one will be at loss to
determine where the responsibility will
rest. Our State is not altogether out of
the woods, but whether danger from Con.
gressional interference be apprehended or
not, public opinion should make it too hot
for masked rufians and assassns to wreak
their vengeance on defenceless negroes.
Commenting on the outrage we refer to,
the Chattanooga Times expresses the views
of the order-loving everywhere when it
says 'The people of Hamilton County owe
it to themselves to see that this matter is
thoroughly investigated, and the guilty
parties brought to justice. We cannot af-
ford to have our county disgraced by mid
night masked assassins, and the whole
force of the law and of public opinion
should be invoked to bring them to speedy
punishment. There is no politics in the
matter at all. 1t is a simple question of
law and order against mob law. The
Democratic party is party of law and
order, and it should permit no Kuklux
oatrsges or mob law Of any kind"

The Radicals do not fail to see that
their party is fast breaking up. In many
of the States the evidence is forced upon
them by the current of passing events.
The Radical organs look on ''the breaking
up of the party" with mOurnful concern.
The New York Commercial says. "The
political folly of Tennessee is now being
repeated in Missouri. The rupture in the
State Convention is being carried into
local contests, and the Drake and Brown
factions are nominating opposing candi-
dates for Congress. The upshot of this
deplorable folly will be that the Ropubli-
cans will lose not only the State bnt the
entire Congressional delegation"

Although it is daily duty for many
men and women to cut up meat for ~

neither we'll nor wise. The following
suggestions, from an agricultural paper
on this point may not be out Of place, the
more especially to young housekeepors !: Q


TO carve fowls which should always be
laid with the breast uppermost, place the
fork in the breast, and take off the wings
and the legs, without turning the fowl;
then cut out the merry thought; cut slices
from the breast; cut out the collar ,bouS,
cut oft the side pieces, and then cut tho
carcass in two. Divide the joints in the
leg of a turkey. i


In carving a sirloin, cut thin slices from
the side next to you lit must be put OH
the dish the tenderloin underneath), then
turn it. Help the guests to both kinds


In carving leg of mutton or ham, be-
gin by cutting across the middle to the
bone. .a tHst e


Cut tongue across and not lengthwiss
and help from the middle.


Carve forequarter of lamb by sepa-
rating the shoulder from the ribs, aud
then divide the ribs. .l.f'


10 carve loin of veal, begin at the
smaller end and separate the ribs. Help
each one to piece of kidney and its fat
Carve pork and mutton in the same way.


In carving a pig it is customary to d.
vide and take off the head before it comes
to the table, as to many persons the head
is revolving. Cut off the limbs and di-

As the time draws near for the holding
Of our County Fair, we would endeavor
to enforce on the minds of the residents
Of the County, the importance Of making
some preparation for the event. The
officers have busted themselves in fixing
up the grounds-repairing the track,
erecting new buildings for the exhibition
of articles entered, &C., and it now re-
mains entirely with outside parties to
make the Fair success. We hope the
ladies will exert themselves and bring in
specimens of fancy needle work and the
thousand and one evidences Of skill in
which they are proficient, while our
merchants, artisans and farmers should
prepare to exhibit something that will
lend interest to the occasion. 1t is, of
course, desirable that this be one of the
most successful Fairs in the State, and
there is no reason Why it should not be.
The premium list IS a liberal one, con-
sidering the fact that this is but the Sec
ond Fair held in number of years, and
although every one cannot take the
premium, let there be a good display of
everything there is worth showing. The
Fair is to be held during Wednesday,
Thursday and Friday, September 2lst,

STREET IMPROVEMENTS. On Mo n

ing Eighth street, from the south end Of
the bridge to Quay street, was commenc-

has been the worst mud hole in the city
during rainy weather, the improvement
will be appreciated.


Seventh street, near the Cd ward,
school house will soon be repaired. The
gulhes caused by the rain washing the
sand away, made that part Of the street
almost impossible,


A new street is being opened near the
west end Of Washington street, south
side, running north and south.


Washington street has been improved
lately, by having the holes therein filed
with gravel. The culvert on that thorough
fare which was washed out early last

where an outlay of ten dollars would FIX
up all right 1t is in dangerous con-
