The total coinage executed at the
stints daring October was $4,172,100,
of which $8,000,000 was in standard
dollars.
It is now admitted that the
amount
stolen from the Adams Express Com
pany by the Missouri robbery may
reach $120,000. "The right clew" is
said to have been struck, but thus far
has not materialized by arrests or
securing the money.
It is. estimated that 3,479,000
bushels of peanuts are available for
consumption during the coming year.
As the United States used but 2,905,

in the peanut munching industry.

the Treasury to the effect that interest

The Bishops of the Episcopal Church
In triennial convention at Chicago,
sent out a pastoral, which makes
pointed reference to the intense con
ditions of modern life. Among the
most obvious and alarming perils, the
Bishops say, are the temptations in
cident to a ratpid increase of wealth,
.the contempt *f lawful authority and
.•the spre*d unbelief. The increase
«f powr (^discontent and pride are
aft marked as the accumulation of
fortunes and the growth of luxury.
"How," the Bishops ask, "shall this
discontent and misery be remedied,
wealth' recognize its stewardship, af
fluence .own the brotherhood of man,
and the lees favored juid successful of
the .community be rendered cheerful
and «on
tented with their lot?" But
*4»e BUfeope do not answer the ques
tion, neither can any body of politi
cians nor ecclesiastics. It implies a
condition of affairs that have existed
"front when the memory of
AMI runneth oot to tb# contrary."

More DUtorbances la Chicago,
On the Sth inst. there began another
Formidable strike at the stock yards for
eight hours a day. The old workmen as
saulted the newly employed. As the morn
ing progressed the strikers became more ob
stinate and the deputy sheriffs found greater
difficulty in dispersing them. About St
o'clock the crowd at the yardff got more
noisy, and assaults on non-union men be
came more frequent. Two regiments of
military were ordered out and went to the
scene. A proclamation was issued by
Sheriff Hancock saying:
On and after Nov. 9 and until further
notice, entrance to Packingtown will be
open for admission Tor all men who desire
to go to work, And for all persons who de
sire to do business with parking houses or
in the stock yards. No other person will
be admitted. Ample protection will bo
furnished for all men who desire to co to
work.
A meeting of packers was held in the di
rector's room of the board of trade. Rep
resentatives of every one of the packing
houses were present. The decision reached
"as unanimous. After discussing the sit
uation the resolutions were drafted and
adopted without a dissenting voice. Tho
signatures of the packers were then affix
ed. Only those strikers will lie taken back
to work who will sign an agreement to re
nounce all connection with the Knights of
Labor and similar organizations.
Salisbury on the Bulgarian Difficulty.
Lord Salisbury, in a speech at the lord
mayor's banquet at Guildhall recsntly,
said, in referring to Bulgaria: The sympa
thies of the English people were aroused
by the spectacle of her struggle for inde
pendence, and the language of diplomatic
menace used toward Bulgaria had caused
the deepest regret. A midnight conspiracy
led by men debauched by foreign gold had
hunted Prince Alexander from the throne
of Bulgaria and outraged the conscience
and sentiment of Europe. The injustice of
this deed was aggravated by foreign diplo
macy saving the conspirators, an act of in
terference which caused reprobation
throughout Europe. Bulgarian rights were
assured by the Berlin treaty, on which the
salvation of Europe depended. English
interest in that treaty was not an isolated
interest. Other powers also were interest
ed in the vindication of the treaty. He
was sure that it a majority of the signato
ry powers recognized the fact that it was
their duty to enforce the treaty, England
would not be found backward in co-operat
ing with them. If England's individual in
terests only were affected, England would
ask no counsel and would seek to assist
ance, but would defend her int rests with
her own arm but in this instance she
would not accept the responsibility of iso
lated action. The government policy was
shaped in harmony with that of Austria,
lie trusted that the peace would not be
disturbed, and that under the influence ol
public opinion the infant liberties of Bul
garia would not be disturbed.

en from the waters this season for market,
fifteen you::g shad have been artificially
hatched and returned.

President Cleveland arrived in Boston
on Monday morning tho 8th inst., and was
received with distinguished honors by Gov
ernor Robinson who said: It is with great
pleasure that I welcome you to Massa
chusetts. Her people are expectant, with
cordiality and abundant regard to ox
press to you, so far as it may be within
their power, their profound respect for
your very honorable and exalted station
and high appreciation of your eminent
ability, your staunch integrity and your
patriotic devotion to tho welfare of the
nation. Regretting that the pressure ol
your duties will not permit you to
make an extended stay, I will not
detain you a moment longer from en
joying the hospitality or the common
wealth extended to you and to tho distin
guished persons who accompany you.
After breakfast, escorted by milita
ry, the president and cabinet, the
governor and other distinguished peoplo,
started for Cambridge, the whole line of
the route being lined with people. Tho
presidential party arrived at Har
vard college soon after ten o'clock
and wore received at Grove hall by
President Elliott. At the dinner
in Memorial Hall were seated the following
among other distinguished guests:
Secretary Endicott, Secretary Whitney,
Secretary Lamar, Hon. Robert C. Win
throp, Senator Hoar, James Russell Low

While the dinner was in progress Mrs.

The_ audience then rose, and. led by the
anniversary chorus, sang "Fair Harvard"
with great spirit.
PRESIDENT CLEVELAND SPEAKS.
After several toasts had been responded
to, President Devens, in a felicitous speech,
in which he eulogized the qualities of the
nation's chief magistrate, introduced Pres
ident Cleveland, who spoke as follows:
Mr. President and Gentlemen: I find
myself to-day in a company to which I am
much unused, and when I see the alumni
of the oldest college in the land
surrounding, in their right of sonship,
the maternal board, at which I am but
an invited guest, the reflection that for me
there exists no alma mater, gives rise to a
feeling of regret, which is kindly tempered
only by the cordiality of your welcome
and your reassuring kindness. If the fact, is
recalled that only twelve of my twenty-one
predecessors in office had the advantage oi
a collegiate or university education, a
proof is presented of the democratic sense
of our people, rather than an argument
against the supreme value of the best and
most liberal education in high public posi
tions. There certainly can be no sufficient
reason for any space or distance
between the walks of the more classical
education and the way that leads to a
political place. Any disinclination on the
part of the most learned and cultured of
our citizens to mingle in public affairs, and
consequent abandonment of political
activity to those who have but little re
gard for students and scholars in politics,
aro not favorable conditions under such a
government as ours, and they have exist
ed to a damaging extent. Very recent
events appear to indicate that the educa
tion and conservatism of the land are to bo
hereafter more plainly heard in the ex
pressions of popular will. Surely the
splendid destiny which awaits a patriotic
effort in behalf of our country will besoon
er reached if the best of our thinkers and
educated men shall deem it a solemn duty
of citizenship to actively and practically
engage in political affairs, and if tho force
and power of their thought and
learning shall be willingly or un
willingly acknowledged in party man
agement. If I am to speak of the
president of the United States, I desire to
mention as the most pleasant and charac
teristic feature of our system of govern
ment the nearness oi the people to their
president and other high officials. A view
afforded our citizens of the acts and con
duct of those to whom they have intrusted
their interests serves as a regulator and
check upon temptation and con
duct in office, and is a constant re
minder that diligence and faithfulness are
the measure of public duty, and such a
relation between president and people
ought to leave but little room in the pop
ular judgment and consicence for unjust
and false accusations, and for malicious
slanders invented for the purpose of under
mining tho people's trust and confidence
in the administration of their govern
ment. No public officer should desire
to check the utmost freedom of criti
cism as to all of his acts, but every right
thinking man must concede that the presi
dent of the United States should not be
put beyond the position which American
love of fair play and decency accords to
every American citizen. This trait of our
national character would not encourage if
the extent and tendency were fully appreci
ated, thesilly, mean and cowardly lies that
every day are found in the columns of cer
tain newspapers, which violate avery in
stinct of American manliness,and in ghoul
ish glee desecrate every sacred relation of
private life. There is nothiugin the highest
office that the American people can confer
which necessarily makes their president
altogether selfish, scheming and un
trustworthy. On the contrary, the
solemn duties which confront him tend to
a sober sense of responsibility. The trust
of the American people and an apprecia
tion of their mission among the nations of
the earth should make hiui a patriotic
man, and the tales of distress which reach
him from the humble and lowly and needy
and afflicted in every corner of the land
cannot fail to quicken within him every
kind impulse and sensibility. After all it
comes to this: The people of the United
States have one and all a sacred mission
to perforin, and your president, not moro
surely than every other citizen who loves
his country, must assume part of the re
sponsibility of the demonstration to
the world at large of the success of popu
lar government. No man can hide his
talent in a napkin and then escape
the condemnation which slothfulness de
serves nor evade the stern sentence which
his faithlessness invites. Be assured, my
friends, that the privileges of this day, so
full of improvement, and the enjoyment ol
this hour, so full of pleasure and cheerful
encouragement, will never be forgotten
and in parting with you let me express my
earnest hope that Harvard's alumni
may always honor the venerable institu
tion which has honored them, and that no
man who forgets and neglects his duty to
American citizenship will find his Alma
Mater here.
The president finished bis speech amid
great enthusiasm and the strains of "The
Star-Spangled Banner" from the band.
President Devens then introduced in turn
Secretaries Bayard,'Lamar, Whitney and
Endicott, who were received wittj^jgafeninj
cheers.

Chicago special: There has been a collis
ion near the Ashland avenue bridge be
tween a crowd of strikers and a small
squad of infantry men. The bridge was
guarded by twelve men from the Second in
fantry, under Lieut. McMilan the
rest of the company being stationed in the
vicinity of neighboring packing houses.
The crowd ot strikers and sympathizers
numbered about five hundred, and was de
termined to prevent packing-house em
ployee from crossing the bridge on their
way back to the city at the close of the
day's work. The crowd was charged by
the squad several times and forced to re
tire temporarily, but increasing numbers
added to its. persistency, and a serious
conflict seemed imminent. Finally Lieut.
McMillan gave tho order to load with ball
cartridges. The crowd thereupon speedily
dispersed, and the employes went on their
way without further molestation. No one
•uttered

Lawrence Donovan, the Brooklyn Bridge Crank,
Jamps From the Sew Saspenaloa Bridge at Ni
agara, a Distance of 100 Feet.
Lawrence Donovan, ot New York, who
recently jumped from Brooklyn Bridge into
the East river, jumped from the new sus
pension bridge at Niagara Falls, a little
past the center. He came from Buffalo
and stayed at the suspension bridge. His
jump was witnessed by four or five persons.
He was accompanied by Prof. Hanley and
Mr. Drew, a Buffalo reporter. He made the
jump successfully, a distance of 100 feet.
He went straight down, feet first. He came
up somewhat dazed, but struck out for the
boat, in which were Messrs. Drew and
Haley, and was taken in and stimulants
were "given him. He is not seriously in
jured. One rib is probably broken, and
his hip is bruised. Ho said before be got
out of the water that he would not jump
again for $1,000,000. Afterward, lie.e.aid
he would jump next summer for $1,000.
In an interview, he says: They say the
btidge is 15)G feet high, and after they
took me out of the water, I found that the
water is lower than it ever was, and the
distance from the bridge must be 210 feet
It was a terrible jump, and 1 wouldn't
make it again for the whole of the United
States. I was on the Canada end of the
bridge, but pretty near tho middle of the
river. I had on my jumping Biiit, the same
I jumped from the Brooklyn bridge in. 1
had my coat unbuttoned so that if it both
ered me in tho water I could get out of it
easily. I am sorry for that now, for if the
coat had not spread out in the air while
I was going down I would have struck
the water square and wouldn't have
broken my rib. Professor Hanley
said it wanted three minutes of 7
o'clock when I jumped. How did I feel?
Well, it's hard to tell. I closed my eyes
when I jumped bu
11 opened them right away
again, but I didn't see any thing. My el
bows were close to my sides and I kept my
feet together. When I struck the water it
seemed as though I would burst to pieces.
The Bhock was terrible, and I kept right on
going down till it seemed as if I would never
stop.and when I came to tho
surface I struck
out with my arms and legs, but I wae
dazed. The current kept carrying me
down, but the boat got me pretty soon.
As soon as they pulled me in I spit a lot
of blood, and I fainted away."
FOUXIIEItED AT SEA.
United States Steamer Manhattan Fonndered al
Sea and All Hands Lost.
A dispatch of the 7th inst., from New
Haven, Conn., says: The United States
revenue steamer Manhattan, Lieutenant
Commander Toziorin command, went to the
bottom off southwest ledge,three miles out
side of this harbor, at') o'clock this morn
ing. The Manhattan came into this harbor
some time during last night, and anchored
iirthe channel off the yacht club's house.
Sunday morning about (5 o'clock three ol
the officers of the Mahattan came asore in
a small boat,lauding at Long wharf. They
remained on shore aboutan hour,and aftet
getting the morning papers went ahead
again. Inunedintcly after this the Manhat
tan got under weigh and headed down the
harbor. William Kane, an oyster dealer
at Oyster Point, says that: lie noticed the
vessel pass out of the harbor and set a
course to the southwest, and that she
pitched heavily in the sen. She shipped two
seas and apparently struggled very much.
To all appearances the vessel couldn't be
controlled by its wheel. Kane says he
then rail about forty feet across a ware
house floor to call his employer, and that
when he returned, aTter an absence of not
over two minutes, the Manhattan had dis
appeared from view. Not a vestige of her
was to be seen, either by the naked eye or
with the aid of glasses. Kane's story is
corroborated by James Smith, the propri
etor of a hotel at the south end on the
eastern shore, seven or eight miles from
the point where Kane saw the vessel. Two
or three other persons on the eastern shore,
all at different points of observation, tell
stories of the disaster that fully bear
out those told by Smith and Kane.
The steamer Manhattan is a revenue
cutter. She was a staunch screw steamer
of about 125 tons, and carried a crew ol
twenty-live men. She was commanded by
Lieut. I). F. Tozier, who is regarded as one
of the ablest ofiicers in the service, and it
is the opinion of the chief ol the revenue
marine that she could not have foundered
unles's as the result of some extraordinary
accident. The other officers of the gutter
were: Second Lieut. W. S. Holland, Exec
utive Officer J. C. Harris, Engineer James
Ogden and Assistant Engineer Willis Hed
rick.
Western Enterprise in Xcw York.
The St. Paul Uniou Stock Yards com
pany is laying its plaiiB for future ex.
port business on a comprehensive scale,
and with characteristic boldness and
originality of conception Mr. A. B.
Stickney, the president of the Minne
sota & Northwestern Railroad company,
has worked up a novel scheme for
the more economical handling and shipment
of outward-bound cattle, grain and other
freight at the port of New York, as well asol
imported cargoes destined either for that
ity or for the West. During a recent visit
to New York Mr. Stickney made arrange
ments, afterwards consummated on an en
larged scale by Mr. Ansel Oppenhcim, for the
purchase of twenty-eight acres on the
shore of Staten Island, just above the
quarantine and about a mile .above the'
Nairows, with 1,100feet frontage on the
upper bay, where it is proposed to build ex
tensive docks, elevators and warehouses,
There is an abundant depth ol wutei
•at this point for the largest shipping and
the rapid transit railway,, which'runs all
around the island and is controlled by the
Baltiinore&Ohio, passes through the prop
erty. At the same time there was purchased
b$" tho same parties 200 acres of land about
five miles distant from the docks on the
same railway, where the stock yards and
feeding stables are to be located for taking
care of cattle destined for shipment abroad.
The cattle have only to be driven fivo
miles to the docks, where they will be ship
ped directly from the piers, without the in
tervention of lighters.

termination to we- all that is to b®
se6h. Democrats though they are,
nothing 43 more attractive to them:
than the mysteries of royalty. They
beset their ministers for ad

of kings. The American minister to
England might be a happy man, in
spite of diplomatic complications,

his countrymen, who insist that be
shall present them to the Queen, and
secure them tickets for royal balls.
Meh who at home denounce "the
efiete monarchies of Europe," will
wear knee-breeches and swords, the
court costume and their wives will
bare their arms and neck, deck their
heads with tall feathers, and drag a
train three yards long, in order that
they may boast of having been pre
sented at court.
It will take the lady two hours to
dress she will sit in her carriage for
two hours more, while it waits in line
and the iabble, staring in at her coach
windows, comments upon her charms
and laces, and guess at her age and
her jewelry. Once inside the palace,
she waits an hour in the "pens"—en
closures formed in the rooms by ropes
drawn across, to prevent pushing—
before she is admitted into the throne'
room.
Then two gentlemen in waiting seize
the train, which is over her arm, and
spread it behind her. She hands her
card to a lord-in-waiting, passes up to
ward the Lord-Chamberlain, stands
till he pronounces her name, and thea
prostrates herself before the Queen.
Her Majesty extends her hand, with
the back upward, which the lady, re
ceiving on her own hand, raises to her
lips. An obeisance to every one in the
royal circle is then made, and the gen
tlemen, catching her train, throw it
over her arm, and she stumbles back
ward out oi the room.
She has paid many pounds for her
dress, has spent days
in practicing her
obeisance and the backward step, has
occupied six hour3 in going and re
turning from the palace, and stood
just two minutes in royalty's presence.
But when 6he returns to her Western
home, she can boast that she has been

Kiiier antl Pope in Borne.
A Rome cable dispatch to the New
York Mail and Express says: The
coolness between the Vatican and
Italian government is developing re
taliatory measures on both sides, and
bears symptons of speedy active hos
tilities between the church and state.
The result of the two recent measures
against the government is that the
latter replies to them by a stringent
enforcing of the law against monastic
institutions. These laws have hither
to been administered with considera
ble laxity. Several Jesuit priests
have been forcibly expelled from a
convent at Florence, where they have
taken quarters in contravention of
the law proVidins? that when the in
mates of a convent have fallen below
six in number they shall take no. re
cruits, but shall arrange for the final
evacuation and secularization of the
convent. This law will be applied to
seven other convents which are in the
same condition and which are already
indicated. In one twenty-one young
girls were recently received these will
be expelled.
The church party is apparently em
boldened by the result of a similar
struggle in Germany, and seem inclin
ed to defy the government and take
the consequences. Their failure is al
most a foregone conclusion because
they have 110 strong ecclesiastical
party in parliament as they had in
Germany. Further than this, the
liberals, who are sympathizing more
or les3 with the churchmen,only desire
to effect a compromise on a sufficient
ly amicable footing to permit them to
work with the government.

What a curiosity she would be in
America, a female hod-carrier! She
would soon retire irom that business
to attitudinize in a museum, and
people would look at her, I know
with greater wonderment than at the
best Niagara crank. But here Bhe is
so little of an attraction that she
doesn't even draw the attention of
her fellow-workmen. Her femininity
is certainly not universally fascinat
ing, for she's not very clean? Indeed,
as a general thing, she is very dirty.
She seems a shade or two darker
than her brother laborers. Some
times she is young and pretty, but
oftenest she is old and hag-featured
but whether young or old her general
appearance would not make a good
advertisement picture for "some
body's soap." Her garments usually
consist of a ragged dress, polka
dotted with mud or mortar an erst
white apron now beclayed into an
ugly saffron, and the rough stuff leg
covering twisted in twine, and even
dirtier than the apron. Physically
they are very strong, these female
mortar-carriers. In place of a hod
they use a long, narrow iron pan
with handles at either end. When
they have filled the pan some one
helps them to lift it on their heads,
and then with this excessive load
they go climbing up the perpendicular
ladders. They mingle with men on
equal terms, and the petticoats and
voices alone indicate to the passer-by
that they belong to the tender sex.
How Grant Received the Intelli
gence of His Nomination.
He was nominated by acclamation
at Chicago in May, 1868. Stanton
carried him the news. I was with
Grant at his own headquarters when
the Secretary of War entered the
room. I had never seen Stanton there
before, but this time he did not send
for Grant. He came hurriedly up the
stairs, panting for breath, lest some
one should pi ecede him. He had re
sived the first telegram of the vote,
even in advance of Grant, and as he
rushed in he exclaimed, "General, I
have come to tell you that you have
been nominated by the Republican
party for the President of the United
States." Grant received the intelli
gence as he did every important
announcement of his life. There was
no shade of exultation or agitation on
his face, not & flush on his cheek, nor
