The union labor party has loomed up among them and its opera tions are producing inflammation in the bowels of the bourbon fraternity. We are glad to learn from the September Issue of the .liiicrfwii Magazine (i::0anil 132 Pearl street. New York.) that we are beginning to have a navy. In a descriptive article in this magazine we have illustra tions representing the sloop of war, Huston; the line steel frigate. Chicago: the dispatch boat. Dolphin, about which so much lias been said; the line. large twin screw strel cruiser, Charleston; the steel cruiser. Haiti more; the twin screw steel cruivr, Newark; the "gun boat No. 1." the "Dynamite Cruiser" the "gun boat No. 2," the doub'e turreted monitor, Puritan: a single turretr d monitor, and the torpedo lxiat.

Llpnincott Company, of Phi la lelphla, the well-known book publishers. and Messrs. Charles II. Pierce & Co.. the Springfield booksellers, have united in pre senting to the editor of the KEPrm.ic, the new edition (with supplement) of Dr. Joseph K. Worcester's magnificent un abridged "Dictionary of the" Knglish lan guage, " a large quarto, of 2 10G pages, and probably the finest specimen of book making ever produced in America. The hupplement, consisting of 2(H) pages, con tains the very latest results of the research es and discoveries of words and puts the dictionary abreast of, if not a little ahead of, the times. The table of synonymes; the Pronouncing Dictionary of Biography; the Prononncins Vocabulary of Christian Names: and the Pronouncing Gazetteer of the world, are in plain, readable type, nice ly arranged, and are wonderfullycomplete. In these features, Worcester is sujierior to any dictionary that has ever been pub lished. The work has alo a key to the classical pronunciation of Creek, I.atin and Scripture proper names, with tennination al vocabularies, and a fine, ample collection of words phrases and quotations, from the (reek, Latin, French, Italian and Spanish languages. Indeed, the work, in general and In detail, is complete and really su perb. Mr. Sam. Harford, (of Pierce & Co.,) brought the book over to us and it was about as much ts he could carry. A press dispatch from Jamestown, N". Y.. dated Saturday, August 20th, states that Mr. Lewis Miller, of Akron, president of the Chautauqua assembly, with two po licemen, were to be arrested for suppress ing a Jamestown lawyer, at a meeting of cottage holders, for an attempt to take the affairs of the assembly into his own hands. We quote from the dispatch as follows; In the affidavit and complaint Mr. Wade sets forth that at the time of the annual meeting ot the cottage owners he apieared in a lawful capaciix. and that Policeman Ta lor, by order of 'President Miller, ille gally arrested him without any reasonable cause or justification, and demands judg ment in the sum of 55,000. together with the costs of action. It Is understood that Chancellor Vincent has threatened there would be no pro gramme at Chautauqua In 1SSS and that the gates would be closed unless the cot tage owners submitted to the decrees of the manacement The arrest has caused a great deal of excitement, and was a dis couraging feature of (this) Grand Anny day. This Is a tempest in a teapot It is simply the result of a conflict between some boarding-house keeper at Chautauqua and the managers, arising out of the attempt of tlit boarding-house people to escape the provisions of leases signed by them, hi which they agreed to pay ten per cent, of their receipts to the managers, the money received being used for the Improvement of the grounds. The case against the lawyer. Wnde, was dropped, last week, and it is not likely that his proceeding against Mr. Miller will amount to much. The real jioints at issue are in the courts, and will bo settled, decisive ly and according to law and equity, in due time, and the assembly man aers who are honest and square men will abide by the result, as will the cottage holdeis. Mr. A. C. Wade, attorney at law. Jamestown, is getting about ten thousand dollars' worth of of free advertising in the newspapers of the country, and we think that that is about all that he will get, or ex pyrtstoget, Mr. Wade Is a lawyer and will, very naturally, make all he can. for himself, out of the situation, but the affair is one that only interests hint and his clients and the assembly managers and is of no concern whatever to the outside world. The Chautauqua assembly will "go right along," from jear to year with its grand educational work, all the more suc cessfully from the settlement of a perplex ing local question which Is sure to come from this apieal to the courts. Since writing the foregoing we see in a Chautauqua dispatch to the Tri'nnir, New York, dated August 20th, the statement tnat Dr. Vincent announced from the Chau tauqua platform last night that unless the cottage owners stopmsl the trouble at once no programme would be issued next year and that the assembly gates would not be ojH'n during 1SSS. If this is true the cottage owners will be pretty apt to subside, for without the as sembly Chautauqua would be a barren waste, so far as the boarding-house keepers are concerned. "Much ado about nothing" has been made concerning an affair which is described as follows. In the James tuwn (N. Y.) Sunday Xcick: The meeting of the members of the As sembly for the annual election of trustees resulted in much confusion, and was the scene of a disgraceful attempt to disrupt the proceedings. The printed constitution and by-laws give notice of the time and place of meeting, and public notice was ghen from the platform of the amphl- f theater, besides printed notice in the -Is- MiiiWy JrnihL The rules of the assembly require a lease holder to record the lease belore such person shall vote for trustees. A larger number than usual gath ered and a ballot was taken, when It was found that only 126 votes were cast, which number was not the necessary one third of the whole number entitled to vote as required by the constitution. Then according to the rules the meeting was adjourned and the body of trustees pro ceeded to the election. During the meet ing Mr. A. C. Wade, the counsel of the cottagers, opposed to the 10 per cent, tax, attempted to take part and make motions and ote. His authority was demanded and he flourished a lease and claimed the ownership. As the Ieao was not on record Mr. Miller, the chairman, refused to recognize him, and he began to bull doze the officers, using violent, abusive and threatening languace. The assem blage adjourned when Wade called on the people to reorganize, and a man by the name of Gale was made chairman. Wade then moved that the ten per cenL tax be reseindeiL At this stage Mr. Miller, presi ident of the assembly, ordered Wade's ar rest, which was made. Wade struggled and abusel the officers in profane and threaten ing language. (ale was arrested also, and both were released on their own recogni zances. According to the constitution and by-laws of the assembly Wade was Illegally present at the meeting, had no right to take part even as legal counsel, and his K sition all through was untenable. This is the whole matter in a nutshell. Messrs. Miller, Hoot, ami others at the head of the Chautauqua movement, with Chan cellor Vincent and Secretary and Superin tendent W. A. Duncan, are men of the highest character, liberal and generous Christian gentlemen, who have put hun dreds of thousands of dollars Into this en terprise, conducted partly in the interest ot the cause of popular education and enlight enment In the homes of the people of America, and in the homes ot Englishmen, Kussians, Chinese, Japanese, and of the inhabitants of other isirtions of the world as well, and they have never taken a dol lar out of the proceeds, all of which will be devoted to the extinguishing of the debt and the improvement of the grounds, the erection of new buildings, etc, etc. This Is the time for the manifestation of courage ami nerve by the business men of Springfield. No doubt the Kast street shops will be running by the time the active season of IbSS opens, but if the whole plant were fenced in for all time, Springfield would still be the largest agricultural ma chine town in the world with fifty to seventy large factories, all running on full time in their season, and all prosperous. Several very important enlargmcnts have been made during the year, and several new factories erected. These were im provements that would have made local booms in most other cities, but we are so accustomed to large things of this sort that we have failed to appreciate their full im portance and significance. It is our opin ion that the East street street shops will be running again, in due time.In improved cir cumstances, but should this Industry fail to be revived it should be understood that ttiese shops represent but a small part of the manufacturing operations of Spring- held. We have a handsome and thrivinulirrrite of mind. I had scarcely time, how- city a city that cannot fall to grow and prosper, w hatever may become of a few individuals or one or two local industries. The JJixpufeJi pays a graceful and hearty tribute to the entetprise of tho Ohio State Journal. It can afford to do so, for it is. itself, an unquestionably first-class news paper. With the State Journal comingout in the morning and the l)liialch in the evening, Columbus is well equipped in the line of metropolitan newspapers. And now we are to have an Illustrated democratic weekly in New York, with the venerable Thomas Nast as the caricatur ist. If the democrats can stand this in fliction we are sure the republicans can, but in the name of all that is wonderful and mugwumplsh, what's the matter with Piicfc and llarjia't Wetklut A JOURNEY.

It was well that we were sheltered, for n tempest raged on the outside, sweeping nnd howl ing through the mountain passes and hurling itself with fury upon the pines of the Swiss Jura. Gathering itMut tho fire, like the rest of Us, for warmth nnd comfort, tho herdsmen smoked nnd lis tened while we talked. Suddenly n violent knocking sounded upon the door, mid, on the call to enter, given by the shepherd, who was master of the hut, a Vnudols gendarme, wet and weary, Mack canishe following at his heels, showed himself In the opening. Placing his capote nnd carbine in it cor ner with the rest of the trappings, he ex plained to us thnt he, too, 1ml lieen sur prised by the storm nnd for several hours lost in the pines. As the light of the burning logs fell upon the new arrival I started In astonishment, for never in my life liefore had I seen so strange a counte nance. The nose was broken nnd bent nwry. the teeth entirely missing from the front of the mouth, nnd the skin and lies, n patchwork of seams and cicatrices. Nevertheless, in spite of Its disfigure ments, tho face was a kind one, the face of nn old nnd bravo soldier. The conversation, checked for a moment by his coming, was renewed again, the painful duty of the mountain guards, the tragic story of cont abandist, forming the liasis of oar t.n, k. Kcry one had something to relate, mil v. hen it came to the turn of the gendarme, cheered by fre quent trips to his gourd nnd the grateful warmth of the lire, he gave us the follow ing history: "That which I am going to tell yon," said he, "is the saddest episode of my life, for I was but '!' years of age, and. with out flattering myself, it well set boy Detailed to the post of Cure tho extreme station of tho canton of Vand, near the tort des Housscs in the winter of IS , I endured some terrible sufferings, every day of my life exposed to the danger nnd hardships of that open frontier nnd the forests of Amont, Ah, those miserable smugglers, whose route I had to watch 1 Many a night have I p-issed in a hole in the rocks or in tho branches of the pines in those tracKless woods where one only meets with crows and iwisonous reptiles! "Hut to return to my story: One after noon the corporal came to me and said: 'Abrani, this evening the little Francois nnd his two dogs of brothers will load themselves at Des Kousses; they will be obliged to return through the hollows of Crouaz. I am going to post myself be hind them, tho lieutenant under the Ver- tuillay, and you in the hollow itself. As you havo a longer route than we, you must start at once and take Bijou with you. Come, hurry up, boy; this trip re quires nerve. "llljou, to whom the corporal referred, was the canishe of the lost; there was nothing like him to scent the smugglers. and moreover, to tell the truth, he had once lieen a contraband himself, having served to pass jewelry and clock works, concealed under his hair, through the lines into France. "I had found him nfter a brawl. wounded and bleeding; had cared for and cured hun; and since then he had never left me. Ily 1 o'clock I was on the road. The ground was covered with snow, and at every step I sank to my knees in spit of ray snow shoes. The carbine slung across my shoulders, the sword at my waist, my heavy cniwte and Alpenstock did not render me light of weight, I as sure you. Hut I went on with a brave heart In spite of my ditliculties, pleased with the thought of measuring mj strength In open fi'ilit with this terribl Petit Francois, who daily defied otti watchfulness, nnd on Sunday open!) walked with the prls of the neighbor hood. He did it to mike its envious, foi the villain knew that we were not made of stone, and with nn income of onl) thirty cents a day from tiic governmenl not likely to lie looked upon with favor. "When I think of him, that scamp with his pockets full of gold, and jewels enough to tempt even the virgin of .Notre Damt d'Arzler, my blood IkmN, and but listen, gentlemen, listen to tlie end. "I had already lieen traveling for ovci two hours, when at last I approached tin hollow of Crouaz, a narrow dellle lictwcer the Noir Mont and Mont Sallez, a mcrt goat's path, in fact; to the right of it i fearful precipice, to the left a iwlisheil wall and what a height not less that 1,000 metres! "Imagine for yourselves the cold anc the gloom of those interminable forests, with their centenary pines whose trunk; were mossed with age, vvliosc branches bent and cracked under the weight o enow and not a soul fsnvc myself in tin whole of that icy solitude' I walked perhapf 100 feet into tlie defile, then seated myseli in the snow to smoke, lhe night w:u clear and bright, but I smoked with com IKisiire, for I knew ierfectly well that tin smugglers would remain at Des Kousses until 10 o'clock at least, in onler to arrivt at llegnins ntout dayureak "lly this time, tho cold lieginning t nfTect me, I was growing ery drowsy, when suddenly my attention was attractt by the strange lieh.nviorof llljou. Hehac burrowed into a piie of snow heals against the wall of the hollow, and in Mend of squatting himself quietly on hu haunches, ns was his habit, was digging scratching and sniffing nlsmt the excava tion as if seeking to unearth a treasure. " 'I must see what he is alwut,' I said to myself; 'there's something suspicious over there.' And leaning my carbint against the rocks I 'di oil mysword and lH-pmtodig in tlie hole at which Ilijot was still pawing. Ah, tuit it was funny, for suddenly, something giving way lie neath us, we fell and weie buried out ol sight, a great pile of snow nnd ice restins upon our heads. When I was free agair 1 found myself in n sort of cavern, thi lloor dry and covered with gravel and lint sand, llljou, already on his feet, jumie! alwut me barking and whining, displeasec or tiucnsv at the position in which hi found himself, it was difficult to tell which "Ily the light of my lantern, fortu nately unbroken in the all, I began toe.v umine the surrouudiii'.'s: but, sacre Dieu what dM I see stacked upon every side of me' Packages of wheat and sugars, liales of toliacco, wine from Heme, cigars from Vevey. and heaven knows what besides' It was a complete store house, in fact, nnd evidently a den ot Petit Francois in which 'o hide iiway the contraliand merchandise brought into France. In nil there was, perhaps, 2.000 francs' worth, and as the state cave us the right to one-half the conllscated property you can imagine my ever to recover from the amazement which the sight of these things had given me when my duty as sentinel re turned to mind; but how was I to get out of this hole, thirty feet at least beneath the surface of the ground, and the walls is smooth as glass? It was impossible to ling to it. and the sweat of agony broke out all over as 1 thought of Petit Francois nnd his devilish brothers. If they should return and catch mo in this place I was lost. A slug of lead or a knife lu tho vi tals would soon end the business for me. "In vain I groped aliont the cavern searching right and left; there was no way of getting out I was caged like an ani mal, nnd with my lamp drawing to a close, tlie wick already leaping and sput tering in its last rays. A moment later, crack' it was out. The darkness of Ere bus reigned. "In the meantime I had noticed a sort of cranny or narrow break extending along the liasc of the wall at the end of tlie cavern, and I aturtM) In that ill mo tion, feeling along with my uands. Bljoa was there before me' "It Is useless, gentlemen, to descril to you what I felt regarding this strange and perilous adventure.. It is always painful to die nt 23 and then, what a death! "Even my carbine remained upon the path alwive me instead of defending it would expoe me. My poor old mother! I was her only child. 1 hail sent her my pay by the driver of the Nyon dillgenco Just the evening liefore, and she had only this pay to live iion. And Itosette, who would come to the chalet of Trelasse tho following night to meet me Kusetto whom I loved, and who returned that love! "Think of It, gentlemen, tho cruelty of this fate; and 1 had only been In thnt devilish post of Cure three months, all told. Hut It is uelcss tf speak of that, or to tell you of tho fears, the regrets and memories that Mirew mo into a sort of torpor. I was Vniinibeil, stupefied, and at last fell aslep. "Suddenly I awoke with a start. I had heard a voice that to me had the sonnd of hell. It was tho voice of Petit Francois speaking to his brothers. " 'The spy is down there, of conrse,' said he; 'but no matter; in any case we must try the fire, nnd smoke him out. Tune up the violins!' Then all was silence 1 "A man In tho hour of approaching death has such need of tenderness and nf fection that I wished even to embrace for the last time my little Ilijou; but where was he? I felt all around me, I called him softly; he was gone my only friend had disappeared 1 "The silence continued perhaps for half an hour. Mechanically grasping tlie handle of my sword, I waited in tho dark ness, determined to sell my life as dearly as possible in case they should unexect edly invade the cavern by an entrance known only to themselves. "See my hair, gentlemen; white as the driven snow, and I am not yet -10 years of ago! It comes from that awful experi ence. God keep you from suffering tho like! "Hut all at once," the gendarme con tinued, "the place was tilled with a (lash of light Petit Fraucois and his brothers had liegun their infernal work they were smoking me out! To leave my hiding place liehind the bales of merchandise and endeavor to extinguish the brands would only lie presenting myself us a target for their revolvers. On the other hand, tho acrid smoke of the burning boughs filled my throat and stopped my breathing. My cars already rung and roared with the noise of a thousand devils. "At last I could stand it no longer, and cried for mercy. " 'Do not burn me, Petit Francois,' I begged; 'do not burn me, for I surrender. Kill me afterward if you please, but air for the love of God, give me air!' " 'Then It is you, Abrnm,' he replied; 'you, the spy! So much the better. I long ago reserved you for n morsel for the dogs. Hut, draw- him up, boys; draw him to the top. I vvan't to see the grimaces he'll make when we hang him to the branches. Let down a rope; he'll cling to it fast enough. And be sure,' he added, lu a lower tone of voice, 'that no one else is there.' "A moment later the rope descended, aud, like the drowning man who clings to a straw, I was not long in seizing and lashing myself to it, for between two deaths one is certain to choose that which is furthest oft. 'Pull up!' cried Petit Francois, but scarcely had I reached the level of the path when he rushed upon me, upset me and bound me hand and foot, and with those never to be loosened knots of the contrabandists. " 'Now, children,' said he, 'we must decamp from here and as quickly ns pos sible. Recover the opening with pino boughs and snow, nnd then. Monsieur Abram, we will take you for a prome nade. ' "Tho entrance to the cavern again con cealed. Petit Francois slackened the cords which lwund my feet enough for me to walk, hung upon my back and neck n bundle of merchandise and ordered mo to fall in line and 'carry' like a ieast of bur den. Ah, how those scoundrels laughed and jeered as they prodded me along with the enils of their carbines! You may not think it from the position 1 was in, but I K gau to have a little lpe. There was a chance, you see a slight one, it is true that some of my colleagues would lie on sentry at a narrow defile not far from the hollow of the Crouaz, where there was n sort of breach in the wall for conceal ment. "The contrabandists evidently had the same reflection, for they turned to the right and continued the ascent by a more circuitous passage, but which would bring us in rear of any one on guard at that point. It was now in the neighborhood of 3 o'clock. We walked for an hout' longer, when Petit Francois called a halt, and, taking the package I had carried since we left the hollow, he concealed it in n crevice of the rocks wirich overhung the side. " 'Take a look at your giblwt, Abram,' he cried, with a mocking laugh. 'You cannot say that I have chosen it badly;' and he pointed toward a monster pine tree occupying the center of tlie clearing, whose branches, thick as ordinary tree trunks, extended from tlie sides like the arms of a huge candelabra. " 'All summer long the tourists of the mountains will come to call upon ou as you came to call upon me for which, my pretty blackbird,' approaching me with curses, 'you will hang up there.' "If you had seen the face of that mon ster, his lips trembling with rage, his hands as big ns liattlcdores, and covered with rough nnd hairy skin, you would have known nt once thnt prayers and ap peals to his mercy would simply have !k"cii time thrown nway. It only remained for me to die, nnd to die bravely for the honor of my division. " 'Put up the rope, Louis,' Francois called to his brother: 'tie it to one of the lower branches; while waiting we will amuse ourselves with the gentleman who explores so well.' "The amusement of Petit Francois con sisted in binding me securely to the trunk of a tree, after which he took off his cant, rolled up his sleeves, and nrrnuging him self some twenty paces in front of me, went to work to make a target of me, the missiles used lieing heavy, jagged stones which his brother collected for him be neath the cliffs. The first stone missed me, but gradually, ns Francois warmed to his work and aimed with greater precision, they began to tell. One broke my wrist, another buried itelf In my rilis; the third crushed my nose, knocked out my teeth and tore the flesh from my cheeks. "From this on I knew no more I had fainted nway." "When I came to myself again I was resting against tlie pine that was to have been my gibbet; Ilijou was licking the blood from my face, and before me, lying on the snow, two dead liodies Petit Francois and my own cotroral. The lieu tenant who had lieen on guard at the Villcmay lient over me, rubbing me as hard as he could, trying to restore me to con sciousness. "Do not talk, Abrnm," said he, as I struggled to speak; "the villains have their deserts, nud havo decamied with a shot in their wings. They cannot go far; as for the corporal, ho is done for, Fran cois also. My bayonet went through hri lungs. Yon were in a had way, my lad, when we got to jou; but I must go to Saint Uergues for aid. Hijou, who saved you, will stay with you. I will wrap you In this heavy blanket, nnd you will do well till my return. Hero is a loaded re volver; if those scoundrels return and ap proach you pepper them well." In due time lie returned with re-enforcements nnd litters. They placed me on one of them, nnd the corporal and Petit Francois ou the other. The lieutenant, after seeing that I was safely dispatched to tho post at Cure, departed in search of the contrabandist's brothers. They were caught on the frontier of France, tried and sentenced to the galleys for life. "I was three mouths in the hospital of the Good Samaritans, end when I came out of it my faco was so ugly that Hosctte, my uancee, wouiu nave nothing to do with me, and married the grocer of Des Kousses, a well known recelvtr of stolen goods, though we could never prove it. l nc government stitched a stripe udoii the coat sleeve of the lieutenant, a grcattr gratification than a 100 franc bill, and el lowed to tho widow of the oomorol half th value of the merchandise which I had db 1 ujvereu in tat cuvtrn. -as tor myscii i was made appoln.c, and shall always remain so; I am too ugly and too much disfigured to caro to beany thing else. Ilijou, my savior, as tho leutenant called him, had succeeded In crawling through tho crevice at the base of the cavern wall, and running to the post of Cure had found it deserted by ail save the sentry. Keturnlng toward the Crouaz, he had followed the trail of the lieutenant and corporal, who. suspecting I that n misfortune had happened, started out to nmi me. "The gendarme corps of Vaud have had him christened "Hijou D'Or," nnd presented him with across of gold, which, as you sec, gentlemen, hangs from his collar. "The cavern of Petit Francois Is now known as Pollechaud' in honor of my ad venture." Translated for The Enquirer from the French of Hugues Miller-Darier, by E. C. Waggener. rerslan .Ipwflrr tf Wonderful Skill. The goldsmiths' nnd jewelers shops in Persia present little attraction to the eye. Perhnps there is a small glass case con taining a few of the less costly objects, but the owners are not wealthy men, anil keep little or no stock, merely working to onler. The artificer, with his one or two grimy Journeymen and perhaps a couple of apprentices, may lie seen hard at work In the open nir from morning till night. There they sit in the little brick archway, with n tiny furnace of live charcoal, at which the youngest apprentice Is seen blowing with primitive bellows made of a goat skin Their tools are few and rough, but their work is invariably original. AVith the silversmith it is another affair. So common is the use of silver that it is hardly looked upon as a precious metal. . The Persians are particularly clever In both incised and chased work, and in re pousse work of the highest class. The in cised work resembles the bes-t of the Scinde work, with which the recent Indian exhibition has made most of us familiar. As for chased work the Persian Is Inimit able. Every artisan is prepared to pro dnce scroll "work and tracery strikingly original. Many a ragged workman can turn out representations of men and ani mals In motion, wonderful little groups, battle .scenes', hunting scenes and repre sentations of birds, fruits, foliage and flowers. Engraving upon metal, in fact, Is carried in Persia to its highest per fection.
