Judge Joseph Holt (lied wt hia reeideuce in this city to day. Ilia death was due j indirectly to a fall sustained a few days ago, to which he paid little at tention. Judge Holt had a long uud dis tinguished curctr, but is chiefly remembered for hia participation cs Judge Advocate in the court martial which tritd Mr. Suratt and the other conspirators executed for the assassination of President Lincoln. He was boru in Breckinridge Coun ty, Kentucky, iu January, 1807. As a lawyer ami as a Democratic orator in early life he was very conspicuous. President Buchanan appointed him Comnisioner of Patents in 1857; in 1859 he became Postmaster Gen eral aud at the outbreak of secession, when John B. Floyd withdrew from Mr. Buchanan's Cabinet to go into the Confederacy, Judge Holt assuni ed charge of the War Department. President Lincoln made him Judge Advocate General of the Army in 1862, and on the establishment of the Bureau of Military Justice in 1SG4, placed him at tho head with the title of Brigadier General. He favored Lincolu's emancipation pro clamation, aud also the enlistment of colored troops. He was breveted Mojor-General in the United States Army in March, 18C5. WILL SI'KAKIX MISSOURI. Mr. Stevenson ami Mr. I'riMi to Ad dress Meeting. Actiug Chairman John Carroll of the democratic state central com mittee of Missouri said to the St. Louia Post Dispatch Washington correspondent that the leading out side speakers,8uch as Speaker Crisp, Vice President Stevenson, Chairman Wilson aud Representative Bailey of Texas, will be assigned to the heayi est democratic districts in Missouri during the campaign. Mr. Crisp will make one speech in Macon coun ty, probably at Macon City, and one at Kansas City. He will make three speeches.but the third place has not been decided. Where the vice presideut will speak has not been settled. He has not indicated how much time he can spare, ana tul that is known uo ar rangement cau be made. Mr. Wilsan will make u speech at Kansas City Bailey will speak at several points on his way to Texas. The schedule will be prepared iu the course of ten days. In deciding to place the vis itors in the heaviest democratic dis tricts, Mr. Carroll proceeds on the theory that in every county in the state the prominent county officials are elected, like eheriffg, etc., which will serve to create enough interest in the cloee districts to bring demo crats to the polls. In the secure districts he fears too much reliance may be placed on assured majorities and democrats may stay at home on election day, as was the case in the recent judical election in the Quincy, 111 , district. It is with the intention of aroua ing interest that theacticg chairman after consultation with members of the party here and at home, has de cided to send the strongest attrac tions into democratic strongholds. CHICAGO HAS A BLAZE. Forty Acre Burned Over Chicago, 111., Aug. 1. The luin ber district of Chicago was to night visited by one of the most disastrous fire and the loss will probably foot up between $1,200,000 and Sl,500. 000 although it will be twenty-four hours before it can be estimated with accuracy. The burned district is about six squares from east to west and three from north to south. The greater part of the district bounded by the Bine Island avenue, Lincoln street' the river and Ashland avenue was burned over and forto acres cf lum ber yards arc now nothing but ernok ing embers. At 11 o'clock the fire was Btil! burning fiercely with all probi bility of blazing for twelve hours more. It is extremely difficult to obtain an estimate of the loeses but the following are about cornel.: S. K. Martin company, $50,000 Per ley Lowe & Co. $145,000; Wells French company, $500,000 Shoe maker & Higbee $125,000, John Spry lumber company $25,000; tot'd $l;595,000. We have seen a number of Watch chains ornamented with a pretty charm in the shape of a watch cao opeuer which obviateB the use of a knife or finger nail to open the watch. They are 6eut free on appli cation by the Keystone Watch Cae company of Philadelphia The Keystone Watch Case Com pany is the largest concern iu the world. Its capacity is 2500 watch cases per clay. it manufactures every description of Jcase, but is great specialty is the most popular of watch cases, the Jas. Bos geld filled. These are equal iu beauty in wear to solid gold while they cost only about one half as much. Boss and other Keystone cases are the only cases which have the famous non pull cut bow or ring which saves the watch from theft or accident.

A St. Petersburg editor has hit upon the notion of printing his journal ou paper suitable for making cigar ettes. It is said that its circulation has been greatly increased by this means, as the Russians are largely given to smoking cigarettes, which they make themselves. Miss May Frank, of Oakland, CaL. who was offered the place of teacher lecturer and preacher in a reformed Hebrew congregation in Philadelphia, has declined it, because she does not care to be bound to any congregation. Miss Frank is probably the first woman to whom sueh a position was ever tendered. She will continue her work on the Pacific coast. Baltimore ha3 a blind boatman. His boat was stolen by some worthless fellows the other day and subsequently abandoned and picked up. He claimed it, and when told that he must identify it, did. so, not by telling the color and model, as a man with good eyes might do, but giving the positions of all the nails and the chinks in the boat where splinters had been knocked oil. A French siner of prouiaacj, and a most charming woman went to the Society islands on a professional tour. Instead of receiving money for her services at the concert, she re ceived five hundred cocoanuts, three pigs, twenty-three turkeys, forty-four chickens, and a lot of bananas, lemons, and oranges. The papers did not tell us how she carried the proceeds home Mrs. Lewis, whose late husband was Prof. Lewis, of Cambridge, England, has returned with her sister from her second visit to the monastery of Mount Sinai. Mrs. Lewis is familiar with Greek, Hebrew and Arabic, The monks at the monastery permitted her to examine six chests full of manu scripts in their possession, and she and her sister brought away photographs of almost all the papers. The story is told of Philip I). Ar mour, of Chicago, that a few months ago the grain dealers got up a corner, hoping to squeeze him. His own granaries were full, and they rfued to let him have a square inch of space in their elevators. Mr. Armour had thirty days in which to find plaee for three million bushels of wheat. Ac cordingly he seat for his builder, told him what he wanted, aud iu twenty eight days the largest and finest grain elevator in Chicago had been erected, and the grain was stored in it. It is well known that the czar of Russia is a man of enormous strength. Many stories are told of him, the latest of which is that he and his wife, while on a return journey to St Petersburg, a short time ago, stopped at a small station for luncheon. The daughter of the mayor of the village brought a bou quet of flowers to the empress, but for got to dry "the stems. The empress, not wishing to soil her gloves, hesitat ed a moment about taking the flowers. The czar, seeing a heavy pewter plate on the table, picked it up, twisted it into a holder, placed the bouquet in it and handed it to his wife. "A LITTLE NONSENSE."

McElwecof Rock wood, Tenn., describes a coin found in an Indian mound in that county as bearing on ont 6ide an urn burning incense and on the other a fig or olive branch, with the words in Hebrew; "Shekel of Israel.'

There are three theories of typhoid fever: (1) The German theory that it is caused by a specific germ; (2) the French theory that it is caused by a bacillus which only under certain con ditions is dangerous; and (3) that it may be caused by any of a number ot germs. A. . Kvening Post. On the Island of St. George, one of the Pribylov group in Behring sea, the breeding of blue foxes has become very profitable. They generate very rapid ly, and when an island of good size once becomes well stocked it is impos sible to deplete it, as the law provides that they must not be shot,but trapped. the restriction being imposed mainly to keep them tame. It is said that $2,000,000 has been made out of a single brand of chewing gum. it is not all used, by the way, by children and foolish women. Dent ists often recommend chewing gum for the teeth, and physicians prescribe it sometimes as an aid to digestion, be cause it excites the action of the sali vary glands. Large drug houses keep gum in answer to this demand. One of the sights of China is the antique bridge of Suen-Tchen-Fow, 3,500 feet longand twenty feet wide. It has upon each side fifty-two piers upon which huge stones are laid, some of them twenty feet long. Many thou sand tons of stone were used in the erection of this wonderful bridge. which is regarded by engineers as in dicating constructive talent as wonder ful as that which raised the Egyptian pyramids. Aluminum is gradually working its way into various products in the iron line. Experiment has proved that aluminum mixed with iron makes the latter metal pour smoothly, prevents blow holes and liability of cracking and benefits the iron in every way. Such experiments have been made by the Michigan Stove Co at Chicago. The success of the test will undoubted ly arouse interest in iron manufactur ing circles. Congressman Blair, of New Hamp shire, spends more of his time in the senate chamber than he does in the house. He does not feel at home in the busy atmosphere of the house, can not accustom himself to its way, so he goes over to his old senate haunts. where he feels more at home. He wan ders about the senate chamber hour after hour, and talks to democratic senators more than to those on the re publican side. The Woman's Christian Temper ance union was organized in New York state twenty years ago, with twelve hundred members. It now has nine hundred local unions, with a memtier ship of twenty-two thousand, and four hundred honorary members; the Loyal Temperance Legions have a member ship of nineteen thousand; while thirty thousand children have siirned the triple pledges against profanity, tobac co and liquor. Women now have full suffrage can vote for all elective omcers in Wyoming, Colorado, New Zealand, lee- land. Isle of Man. Jersev, and Pitcairn Island. This includes an crea of 345, - T'23 square miles, an erea greater than all the Atlantic states combined, or than all the states on the Pacific. The population of this great territory is 1,- 27.21)0, or more than that of New Hampshire, Vermont, Oregon, and Delaware combined. In 1502 the women took so long to dress that Father Menot, a Franciscan friar, loudly declared: "Oh. you wom en' beware of helL What devil keeps you dressing so long? Though you have only to step across the gutter to enter church. I am certain it would take less time to clean out a stable of forty-four horses than to wait till all your pins are fastened in the places. Your pins are the invention of the t'.eviL .o one ont atan eouiu nave devised sueh monstrosities." The head-dresses of the reign of Louis XIV. were wonderfully made. They were framewor'is of wire, from two to four feet high, divided into tiers and covered with bands of muslin, rib bons, chenille, pearls, flowers and aigrettes.

It is the short line connecting Tien-tsin with Shan-hai-kwan. a town in the eastern part of the great Chinese wall, where the latter runs down the Gulf of Liau-tung. There is a certain anachronism in the association of the "iron horse." so emblematic of our modern celerity of communication, with the Chinese wall, which stands as the personification of obstruction to free intercourse- However, this new Chinese railroad is itself an anomaly: it is not intended for tragic. It will carry neither merchandise nor passen gers. Having been built simply for strategic purposes, it will be strictly confined to military uses. The sedan chair will continue to be the rehicl for overland journeys in China, and freight will still be carried slung to poles borne on the shoulders of muscu lar Chinese porters.
