In conversation a few days ago with a strong supporter of the Government, who had just visited the New Asylum, he spoke in bitter denunciation of the fraud being perpetrated upon the people.

lt seems that the architects or contractors are not remedying matters in the least. ‘The foundation remains insecure, and the Govern- ment show no disposition to carry out their promise made last session.

It seems that we must endure all this, and that the protestations of an indignant people have no effect upon our unscrupulous Govern- ment,

Qur Washington Letter

Wasutneton, D. C., June 4, 1878. Some person of a superstitious turn of mind has discovered that Friday—so often considered the day of ill-omen—is to Prosident Hayes both a lucky and unlucky day. He was nominated at Cincinnati on Friday; the bill creating the Electoral Commission was passed on Friday; the Commission rendered its decision on the last disputed State on Friday; the count was completed and Hayes doclared Presi- dent on Friday, and on Friday the Potter resolutions were passed. It scarcely seems possible that Mr. Hayes can really feel the composure and unconcern he has exhibited throughout the turmoil that has been raging about him of late. Generally he sits at his wonted desk calmly attending to his usual every-day duties. He declares his conscience to be clear, and if that is true then his com- posure is accounted for, for he needs no other upholder. And, in fact, he must be more of a man than he generally receives credit jor being if he could assume the ex- terior that he has shown for these last weeks.

He believes in himself, in God, in the mass of people and in his good wife (chiefly in the first and the last, some one has said), and so he is not afraid.

No one can have forgotten the terrible events connected with the Chisholm family, of Mississippi, which occurred last year. The funeral services of the father, son and daughter, mob-murdered, were but lately held in this city, Bishop Gilbert Haven offi- ciating. Mrs. Chisholm now holds a_posi- tion in the Treasury—a $900 clerkship— and is making an effort to raise funds for the removal of the bodies of her husband and children and to. raise a monument to their memory. She has property enough in Mississippi, but can neither sell or use it. _+<4ap>re

A ‘Strange Life.

DISINHERITING HIS HEIR IN FAVOR oF

FOOTMAN.

There is a young baronet at present in London whose case deserves commiseration. Sir Chandos Stanhope Hoskryns Reade, ninth baronet, is the son of a Madras offi- cer, and a great nephew of the late Sir Chandos Reade, of Shipton-court, Oxford- fordshire, and Oddington Park, Gloucester- shire, who in his dotage disinherited his heir in favor of his footman—a man of the name of Wakefield, who has since assumed the name of Reade. The story of Sir John Reade’s life remains yet to be told. He inherited large landed estates in Berks, Oxon and Gloucestershire, was a Harrow and Ch. Ch. man, and married a niece of the then Lord Ehibank. For years his drunken habits were a bye-word, and when he served the office of High Sher‘ff, at a dinner at the Star at Oxford, his intoxica- tion took the form of dancing wpon the table. His wife died of grief; his only son, Compton, of the vice to which he was addicted. Lastly, he was suspected of hav- ing got rid of his butler—a man named Sinden—by foul play, and some months after his death, the butler’s wife inscribed on the tombstone the words, ‘‘ It was a mortal hand that did the deed.” This led toa coroner’s inquest, but the body, on being exhumed, was found to be decom- posed, and told no tale. For the last 20 years of his life he lived at Shipton Court in complete seclusion, his only associate being Wakefield, to whom he bequeathed his whole possessions, including the pictures of Chief Justice Reade, temp., Henry VIL, and of Sir Compton Reade, the first baronet of the second creation ; together with valu- able records illustrating the past history of a family which, besides the Chief Justice, counts among its worthies Mr. John Ed- mund Reade, the poet, and Mr. Charles Reade, the novelist and dramatist. Sir Charles Reade is engaged at present in as- certaining whether there are sufticient ground to enable him to move the law courts in any special direction ; and I am informed that, should the case be thoroughly exploited, some very strange and dramatic | details will be made public. It should be added that Sir Chandos Reade’s right to the baronetcy has been already decided by a law suit in his favor, the date of creation being 1660— !Vhitehall Review.

There died in Berlin last April a gentle- ‘man named Bersig, the greatest manufac- turer of locomotives in Europe. His father began with a capital of $7,500, lent him by a Berlin tradesman, and the son left $15,000,000. Since 1837 the firm has turned out over 3,600 locomotives. They employ

j over 10,000 men.

‘*T am compelled to show you how pec- ple die,” said, courteously, Leopold de Michele, an old officer of the Italian army to an oficial in Rome, to whom he had vainly applied for relief, and drawing a sharpened wire from his bosom, he drove it into his breast.

Jefferson Davis has been awarded, by the Mississippi Court of Appeals, a large plan- tation for which he once paid his brother but did not secure a legal transfer, and which his brother (now dead) afterwards sold to a negro for $300,000. This makes Davis a rich man.

A witness by whom Daniel Dean attempt- ed to prove an alibi in the trial for murder at Hstillville, Va., was pushed so closely on his cross examination, that he got tright- ened, and confessed to swearing as he did for $75, given him by a lawyer. The law- yer vanished before he could be arrested, and Dean was convicted of murder in the first degree.

An insane patient, accompanied hy his wife and a dog, created a sensation in a Pullman palace car on the Minneapolis and St. Louis road. The conductor and passen- gers tried in vain to put the canine into the baggage car, but the man irately presented a revolver, and despite a great commotion, ‘held the fort” to his journey’s end.

In a case tried at the Old Bailey, London, a late eminent judge determined that the test of criminality, where a man is killed in wrestling, should be whether the struggle took place in anger. But Mr. Justice Lopes, in a recent case at Liverpool, held that to canse the death of another, even in a perfectly amicable wrestling match, is manslaughter.

It is hard times in New York for hand- some churches. St. Ann’s Church was to have been sold under a foreclosure, but the pastor’s son-in-law came forward with $70,- 000, on condition that the church raised $15,000. This paid off the debt. St. Benedict’s (a German Catholic Church) which cost about $80,000, was to have been sold on Saturday to satisfy a judgment of the builder, but some of the richer mem- bers bought up the judgment.

Ata recent drawing-room at Bucking- ham Palace the Queen wore a dress and train of black brocaded Irish poplin inter- woven with silver, and trimmed with blaek feathers, and long white tulle veil, sur- muonted by a coronet of Indian pearls. Her Majesty also wore an Indian necklace, composed of an ornament of large diamonds, pearls, and a stomacher and ear-rings of large Indian diamonds, emeralds and pearls -—all presents from Indian Princes.

The Russian head of the police Depart- ment, Gen. Trepoff, after being shot by the girl Vera Zassolitch, thought himself mortally wounded, and made his wiil, leav- ing about $3,000,000) to his family. This caused his dismissal, and not public senti- ment. The Czar had always considered him poor and honest, and was shocked to find that a man who he thought was serving him through personal devotion had shared in the common corruption of official life,

About one hundred Irishmen, some of them evicted tenants at one time of the Leitrim estate, met in Philadelphia on Sun day to raise a fund for the defence of the men McGranathan and Harity, who are charged with the assassination of Lord Leitrim. ‘* We do not wish to countenance assassination,” they said, “‘ but we know that the men accused would not stain their hands with blood, even to rid the earth of of a tryant.” The meeting finally resolved to issue an appeal to Irishmen to organize a ‘* National McGranathan and Harit; fund ;” $150 were subscribed.

At Cumbraslang, Scotland, a gentleman, who kept a large number of fancy fowls, going into his hen-house at 2 o’clock in the morning, was pounced upon in a rongh manner from behind the door, followed by these words, ‘‘I have caught the thief.” ‘‘ No,” says the owner, ‘‘but I have caught the thief.” Thena violent struggle took place between the two men, each man de- termined to secure his prisoner. As soon as they came to the light, the gardener dis- covered that he had his master by the throat, while the master also found out his mistake. The gardener has since been dis- missed.

Wholesale business continues without im. portant changes. ‘The demand is now of such a character that it can cause no acti- vity in any department until a general im- provement im trade is brought about. Buyers operate with cautiousness and will purchase only such stock as is absolutely necessary. As the demand is at a minimum and can be no further curtailed the present condition of business must prevail until the opening of the fail trade, when, in conse- quence of the prospect of a bountiful har- vest, it is expected that an improvement will be brought about. The price of bread- stuffs has undergone a further decline this week, because of the more peaceful aspect of European afiairs, the prospect of an im- mense harvest, both in the United States and Canada, and the heavy receipts of grain at the Western ports. Provisions have alse reached extremely low prices, owing to ex- cessive stocks and light demand —Montreal Gazette,
