Mr. Hoffmann is a native of Holland. *ls years of ace, ot medium hicht, rfender fienre, and regular features. Ilis ex pression is pleasinc. and his address such as would account for bis unusual success with the fair sex. ot his wives were so to *ec him that all happened to co to the jail at oac and the same time, and had a sort of conjugal love-feast there together. The iadics filed in in mournful procession, some fat, some 3ea»t their aces ranging from 30 to 45 years, and ad bearing a severe expression of countenance, the object of their visit, being the identification ot Hoffmann as the destroyer of their marital bliss and the impropriator of thqir frugal sav incs- The Warden conducted the fair in quisitors to, the fell ol the cay Adolph and pointed out the object of their search. The Warden had fears lest the irate wives would tear the door of the cell from its hlnces and jmch the unfortunate man on the spot. Think of a gentleman standinc in the presence of six vires! The women did some very emphatic talking, and they evinced a knowledge of the English language quite sufficient to convey to Mr. Hoffmann an unbiased expression of their opinion of him. They felt as Tom Moore did after quarreling with his sweetheart, and after gli efforts at reconciliation had failed: When I loved you I canT but allow 1 nad many an exquisite minute. But the 5-corn thall (eel for you now Hath even more luxury m ill So whether we’re ou or we*rc off, A happiness seems to await you; To love you was pleasant enough.— But, oh, it’s delicious to hate you! Mr. Hoffmann’s habit was, when tie could find a widow with some money, to marry her under ao assumed name, cobble her ducats, and then run away. The Paris TVwjw has recently published tne personal statement of the Prince Abbas Mikxa, brother of the Shah of Persia, which gives some curious illustrations of the disad vantages of being a scion of royalty, r root his statement it appears that, upon the death of . his father, the Shah resolved to put out his eyes. Through the assistance of the English and Russian Legations he escaped ami went to Bagdad, where he lived fortvvouty years. During a pilgrimage of the Shah he met him at Bagdad, and was invited to return to Persia, but de clined. The Snail then tried to induce the Sul tan to give him up, but he refused. When the relations between Russia and Turkey crew critical, the Snah wrote to him ami begged him to come to Teheran, and the English Resident at Bagdad advised him to go. hut still he declined. Thereupon England so intervened that the Turks gave him the choice of returning to Persia or of being interned in Egypt. He de cided to return to Persia, was received with honor by the Shah, and appointed Governor of Zenguian. lie had no sooner reached Zenguian than a revolt broke out against the Shuh ou tne very eve of his departure for Europe. The Shah executed a lot of the rebels and then threatened to do the same for his brother when he returned from his pleasure trip. Six days after, he received news that his doom was settled. He immediately fled, crossed the Russian frontieiyand has now* placed himself in the hands of the Czar for safety. Some of the English papers are already beginiug to specu late upon the use Russia may make of him id the new Asiatic imbroglio. Italy has more professional beggars than any country in the world. The lower orders seem to beg for the pure pleasure of begging, and, observes an exchange: This national habit is extremely humiliating to tfci better classes, who try to account for it in every way except tne right way, the possession of a thoroughly mendicant spirit, engendered by cen turies of ignorance, superstition, and poverty. ■When Victor Emmanuel llrst visited Naples in 1800, near 100,000 petitions for aid of one kind and another were presented to him, and since queen Mauuaret came to the throne, only eight months ago, she has received about IK), 000 begging letters of every conceivable sort. They were for caimal logo into business; for money to pay for masses for the repose of souls of dead relatives and friends; for loans to discnargegamoling debts; foruul in building cnurchcs; for purchasing relics of saints: for means to make pious pilgrimages; for the refurnishing of houses; for enabling poor rouplee to gel married; for supporting illegitimate children: forgetting up new journals; for publish ing poems that the age could not appreciate; for emigration to the United Slates, etc. During the four days that the Empress of Russia spent in Rome, 7,000 or 8,000 beggars and petitioners made their wants Known. Ol such petitions, many came from persons occupying position and possess ed of intelligence, so that begging cannot be charg ed upon the rabble alone. Italy, especially the southern part, seems to be a cation of mendicants. An “Eighth-Ward Subscriber” writes us in quiring iu regard “to the record of auv State Senators from Cook County now candidates for Congress on the bill before the Legislature three years ago directing the Auditor of State to make examinations of the condition of the savings banks iu Chicago and Illinois, and publish the same, and also requiring the several savings banks to publish quarterly statements of their condition.” Our present recollection is that one of the ex-Scnators who is running for Congress in this city did all be could, iu a slv and crooked way, to defeat that hill, and was successful in his opposition to it. •It he had worked for the bill it would uudoubt- have been passed*, and by its operations might have sav£d millions of dollars to the de- positors iu the Savings banks that subsequently broke. By peeping through a Keybo-lc the name of the ex-Scnator might perhaps be discovered. The frequent instances in which respect for the Court becomes sycophancy to on the part of lawyers, was admirably rebuked bv Judge Landon, who is presiding on the trial of Jesse Billings, Jr., for the murder of his wife at Ballstoiu N. Y. The following is from the report of the trial: JndceLAxno.v overruled the challenge, and Gen. Hcgkes mher apologetically begged to take au txcevUoa. **l don't wisn the counsel to present *av apology for taking exceptions," the Judge fcaid. *• it is their duty and their ngbt to'take them, if they judge best for their client. ” It is the theory of ilie law that the defendant on trial han innocent mau until tne jury con ficts him of guilt, lawyer who apologizes tor the use of any pro7*er or usual meaus to ieenre the acquittal'of his client betravs bis . client. , ie decision ol the Supreme Court of the ctate of Wisconsin in the case of the Milwaukee & Lake Shore Railway is evidently a new ana more emphatic assertion of the power of the State over corporations than was contained in the so-called Granger decisions of the same Court in 1574. The Court holds that the of fiwirs, stockholders, books, and accounts of all railroad companies must be within the jurisdic tion of the State Courts and of what the Court terms “ the visitona. Power- of the State au thorities. This decision grows out of a suit against a railroad company which did not pay its debts. It would seem that a good way for a railroad.-compauy to avoid being brought under the ftiquVst of the State would be for it to deal Justly with its creditors and customers. An advertising canvasser (in no wav connected, |*uh inis paper) engaged a ooiumnspace in The laiDCXE fora list ot Chicago druggists, and oowded too many names into it. Several of the parties have complained that their cards were not inserted hi the style promised or ex pected, The fault was not that of The Tric- CKE, which published the list precisely as the canvasser requested. Nevertheless, rather than they should feel dissatisfied, we gratuitously re insert the list in the form usually given to such advertisements. Among the attractions of Alaska, which cost OUr G Qirernm ent §7,000,000 under the enter prising diplomacy of Mr. Seward, is a volcano which has recently broken out on the Island of Ounmauk, adjoining Onalaska, The general impression was that the purchase included only * lot of icebergs.

Skobelolf, with the Fourth Corps, was at Tchataldja, and was about to move to Tchoriu, where be will be joined by the Ninth Corps, which lately occupied the country be tween Rodosto and the northern shore of the Gulf of Saros, and a large part of which was concentrated oefore the Hulair lines. It has been arranged that the Turkish infantry shall advance, keeping at a distance of twenty-five kilometers. The intervenin': space will be in a Great part occupied by small bodies of cavalry in the hope of preventing disorders. Gen. Skobeloff has issued public notice that a court-martial will be formed, and all persons convicted of certain specific crimes will be pun ished by death. ' DISORDERS, Some people who arrived last night bv train report that disorders occurred in a villace near Buyuk-Tchekmcdji immediately after the de parture of the Kusssians. REFORMS. Though the scheme of reforms recommended by tbp British Government has been accepted in principle, no formal answer lias yet been snveii bv the Porte. The delay is caused chiefly by the consideration that, it will be extremely difficult to find Kufflishmcn sufficiently ac quaiuted with the Turkish lamruuae and law to fill worthily the posts of Assessors or Judges in the new courts of appeal.

After the place was com pletely invested it was bombarded bv thirty eight guns, which greatly damaged the fortifica tions. The Turkish quarter was besieged, and the insurgents made several unsuccessful at tempts to break out. OFFICIAL DENIAL St. Petersburg, Sept, 2S.—lt is ofllcially de nied that Russia had anything to do with the Ameer’s rejection of the British mission. It is stated in official quarters that the conjectures of the English press to that effect are merely the outcome of the antagonism exist ing during the late war. when it was admitted in consequence of the reports that. England was attempting to create difficulties in Bokhara and elsewhere that Russia took various measures and contem plated several expeditions to reconnoitre the neighboring territories, which, however, were countermanded at the first sign of the Congress resulting in peace. MODERATION ADVISED. London, Scot. 2S. —Midbat Pasha has arrived in Gamut, Crete. It is believed that the Prince of Wales lias transmitted letters to Athens through Hobart Pasha favoring a moderate con ciliatory arrangement between Greece and the Porte.

Sept. 2S.—Rear-Admiral Patterson, commanding the naval forces on the Asiatic station, in a communication iothe Navy Departnymt gives some of the particulars of the serious disturbance which occurred among the Imperial Guard at Tokio on the night of the 23d of August, and which resulted in the loss of fortv or fifty lives. The Rear Admiral savs: The soldiers of the artillery rose at midnight, killed the officers of the guard, burned the stables, and with arms in their hands marched towards the imperial Palate, but were met bv the infantry and police, and were either killed or captured. It is not yet clearly known whether the atlair had its ongin in political causes or was occasioned by dissatis faction with the alleged unfair treatment of the rc°iment, which distinguished itself in the re cent Lago rebellion. Many arrests of officers, including the Commander of the reserve, have since taken place, and vigorous precautionary measures have been adopted to guard against further outbreaks. The public mind is much disturbed, and further troubles are anticipated. On the 26th of August. Prince Lawa No Aliya, eldest son of H. 1. H.

The Grand Trunk Hallway—Claim for Heavy Damages—Au Orange Case—Libel Suit— McKenzie Will Hold on a "While. Special Dtfu&tch tc T7if. Tribum. Toiionto, Sept. 2S.—Thc Globe., in discussing the Grand Trunk through traffic, says: Something like a crisis has arisen in connection with the through connections of the Grand Trunk Railway, and it becomes necessary to decide how these are ♦<> be maintained, if the through trallic of the road is not to be lost orgrcatly curtailed. Mr. Vanderbilt hassccured the control of the American lines by whicn the Grand Trunk has hitherto suc ceeded in reaching Chicago, ills intention is. avowedly, to drive the Grand Trunk out of the list of his competitors. Whether tuis would be a loss or a gain iu the long run to the Grand Trunk, is the point at issue. The advisability of encourag ing ihe through trallic on the Grand Trunk has long been a matter of controversy; but a proposi tion virtually to abandon the bulk of the through trallic, and reduce the Grand Trunk to the position ofa Canadian local road, is one of u rather startling character. Such u proposal, however, has oeen urged and sustained by arguments and figures more or less worthy of consideration. In a circu lar addressed to the shareholders of the Grand Trunk, >lr. A. McEwen strongly maintains that exclusion from a shaie in the through trallic—ex cept, it may be, so muen of it between the New England Stales and the West as prooerly belongs to the Grand Trunk from its geographical position • —will be the only means of making the undertak ing u paying concern. Mr. McEwen points out taut no very considerable increase is likely to bo obtained upouthepresent scale of rates forthrough trallic. In the last ten years the trallic as repre sented by the car-mileage has Increased from 55.- 000,000 to 147.000.000 of miles. The gross earn ings have, iu the same period, risen from £1,350, • 000 to £1,8S5.000; but the sum of £IB.OOO lately paid to the first preference shareholders represents all the surplus profit secured by this large expansion of business. „ From this Mr. McEwen argues that a very large proportion of the through tfalllc has been curried at an abso lute loss; for, while the rates for local freight have been about 2Y t cents per ton per mile, large masses of through freight are, he alleges, carried for half a cent per mile,—a rate not only -unprofit able, but ruinously low. The revenue for passen ger, mail, ami express trallic is £010.000: and to this is to be added, according to Mr. McEwen. a further sum of £250.000 for passenger trattle from mixed trains. Fortius due apportionment of the balance of £1,000,000 derived from freight-trains, no very exact data exists: but Mr. McEwen places the local, semi-local, ami paying proportion at one-halt or five-eighths of the vvholeamomjt. This, is earned from one-fourth of the whole traffic represented by the £1,000.000 sterling as above; while me remaining half in money is, he assumes, earned from the three-fourths of the traffic still to be accounted for. Herein is, accord ing to Mr. McEwen, the secret of the unprofitable ness of the line. The question raised involves an entire revolution in the policy anu system of the Grand Trunk. That Canadian .local interests would be directly benefited by the sedulous cultivation of local as distinguished from through business there cun i>e uo doubt. If Mr. McEwen's calculations be accu rate, there can be but little advantage to be derived from the continuation of a costly branch of >usi ness carried on at a heavy annual loss, and whten can only now be retained bv counteracting—perhaps by a large expenditure of capital—the effort of Mr. Vanderbilt to divert the through iratiic over his own roads.
