Should plain Mr. John Smith, of Tunkhannoek, Pa., be walking down Broadway to-morrow, Mr. Smith would verv likolv be mot by a bland gentleman who would advance with extended hand and say, "Why Jones how arc you, and how are the folks in Jericho?" Mr. Smith would reply "you are ! mistaken my dear sir, my name is not Jones, nor do I live in Jericho: I am Mr. Smith and I live in Tunkhan noek." "Excuse me," would the bland stranger reply" ; "I was mistaken." Mr. Smith would walk one more block and wouid be accosted by another bland stranger who would say, "How are you Smith, and how are all the folks in Tunkhannoek." And then the bland stranger would go on say that Lc lived ia Tunkhan noek some Cve years ago; that be went there to go into business but did not make the riille, and left; but that he met Smith once or twice and j rceorrnized him. "Will you take something" says the stranger; which Smith, being a jolly good fellow ana glad to meet any man who ever saw Tunkhan noek, does with alacrity.

And recol lect this, that your protection in life will be the earnest affection and min istry of a loving wife." The most disgraceful measure pass ed by the late Congress was the bill regulating newspaper postage, where by it was admitted that the army of postmasters paid by the government, is incompetent to perform the simple duty of collecting postage on the pa pers delivered by them, and therefore publishers arc to be. compelled, after the Erst of January next, to prepay the postage on all papers mailed to points outside the counties where published, at the rate of two cents per pound. Some of the gentlemen who voted for this imposition on the newspaper publishers, will be likely to Lear of the matter, again when they are seeking the support of the press to procure re-election. Tun Bankrupt bill, as it pass ed both houses, provides for the dis charge of a voluntary bankrupt upon the payment of J50 per cent, of the indebtedncf-s, with the consent of onc-lourth in number of his creditors, representing one-third of the amount of indebtedness; but an involuntary bankrupt shall be discharged when be shall Lave been proved innocent o( any fraud.- One-fourth of the en tire uum ber of creditors and tne-tiiird of the amount of debts must join in a petition for involuntary bankrupt cy.

The fees and expenses of bank ruptcy proceedings arc reduced tem porarily until a new system of prac tice shall be established by the Su preme Court Jurisdiction is con ferred upon any Circuit or Pistrict Court of the United States. Mi:. Hale has formally signified his intention of accepting the position of Postmaster General, and will take charge of the Popartment on Wedn esday. The appointment of Mr. Hale is well received throughout the coun try, and ia his to d section is especial ly approved. Mr Hale's Congres sional career commenced in the Forty first Congress, to which he was elect ed by the republicans of the Fifth district of Maine. His course in Con gress gave such satisfaction to his constituents that tncy reelected Lim to the Fortv-second Congress, and subsequently to the Forty-third, giv ing him in the last contest 14,1 Si votes against 10,013 votes for F. A. Pike, Liberal Kepubiiean. During the se..-ion of Congress which has just closed, he has served upon the Committee of Apprapriotions, oi which General Garfield is Chairman. To the responsible duties of Lis new position he will bring a broad experi ence gained in his profes.-baul and puolic hie, and, wliat is better, a rep utalion unsuhied by piciou or distrust. a breath of sus- I Le Currency Kill. We Lave insisted all along that it was not so much the lack of money as the uncertainty regarding the fu ture volume of the currency, that was protracting our financial troubles, and that if Congress would only take definite action on the currency jucs tion, and it mattered little what that action was, that the business interests of the country would soon adjust themselves to it. It was the uncer tainty of the future that was so alarming to capitalists. Now that Cougress Las acted, and the country knows precisely the extent of the financial tinkering, business is begin ing to assume a more cheerful aspect, money is becoming more plentiful in the eastern cities, and the mercantile community is confidently anticipating a liberal fall trade. The crons nrp good, Larvcst is at Land, the fin an-' The President yesterday signed the Currency bill, so that congress does not adjourn without some ac tion on that important subject, though what it has done is neither so definite nor so decided as to satisiy cither of the contending parties to the issue. The provisions of the bill have been fully explained in these columns, and it is not necessary now to refer to them in detail. The fact that the bill was votedor in either House of Cougress by men representing the extremes of opinion on the subject of the currency is the best evidence of its indecisive character. The one point in it that may be safely approv ed is that it fixes the limit ot the legal tender issue, and docs away with the dangerous and unsafe idea of a treas ury reserve to be issued whenever the exigencies or the fears cf the fi nancial w orld might demand expan sion, and withdrawn at the discretion of the Secretary of the Treasury. It is true that ia doing this it liberates $2(1,000,000 of the reserve, and to that extent may be regarded as a measure of inflation, but as this amount is now in circulation and has been treated by our Treasury ad ministration as a part legitimate cur rency of the country, the increase is more theoretical than real. Without the act it would have been put in circulation whenever the wants of the Treasury demanded it, and with the act there will be no occasion or opportunity for its issue that did not before exist Moreover it cancels the ? 18,000,000 of the reserve in the Treasury, and fixes an actual limit that cannot be exceeded or restricted. The justice of the feature of the bill redistributing the national banking capital of the country is admitted even by the States most apt to be auected by the drinks are taken and Mr. Smith being sufficiently ly primed starts out with his friend. Getting down into Nassau street the friend remembers that he Las drawn a prise in a lottery and will just step up and fret it cashed. Will Mr. Smith stei) up? Mr. Smith does step up, anl Mr. Smith steps into a room with a sicn "Jones k Co., bank ers," and Mr. Smith's friend is greet ed by a benevolent old gentleman in spectacles who takes his ticket and pays him $275, less commissions' ami congratulates him on his good luck. The benevolent old mau savs to Mr. Smith's friend, thdt a Hew style of lottery has been devised w hich is just the same as any other lottery, only it is played with dice. You put down $5 and if you throw certain combinations you take up ifo-dO.

Mr. Smith's friend is so certain of it that he proposes to "go" $250 of it him self, and Mr. Smith is satisfied and he puts up $250 with him. This time lie loses he has struck that in fernal ugly chance, and as he does not want to play more the game is closed. As Mr. Smith's friend disappears the moment he strikes the street; Mr. Smith gradually awakens to the fact that he has been taken in and done for the tune of $250, by a most shallow device, an imposture so thin that a babychould have seen through it. lie rushes back to demand his money of the benevolent old gentle man, but alas, the "ofiice'' is closed, and the nice old party is gone from his gaze like a beautiful dream.

J express train No. 10 from Windsor, at a pin -ts known as Seftou's Cut, a few miles - west of London, which providentially involved thi loss of but one life and injuries to about twenty pcrsous. The train, which is known as the New York fust express, had entered the cut, and was coming down the grade at a high rate of speed, when the engine, two baggage cars and two passenger coaches were thrown from the track. The engine went to the right, the first baggage car to the left, the second to the right, the first and second passenger cars following in the same manner, form ing something like a letter W, all the cars being jammed and smashed in a terrible way. The fireman, James Orrnsby, was caught between the en gine and tender and crushed to death almost instantaneously. One of the brakemen was severely injured inter nally by being squeezed between the cars. 1 fie passengers, conductor, en giucer, baggage master and express messenger miraculously escaped from serious injury. Upon examination it was discovered that a rail had been removed from the track by some fiend in human shape. It is supposed to have been an organized attempt at rooDery, same as lately took place.on tne iMictiigan Central Koad. The bolts and nuts with which the fish platc3 were fastened were found to have been all carefully taken off and placed on tho ties, and the rails displaced a few inches. The object was undoubtedly robbery.

FASHION AND MONEY TLcre is one class ia New York who heroically refuse to recognize "hard t.mes, 7 namely tnc lasnionaule wo men. No matter what happens the women of fashion must maintain their position so long as she holds any place at all. When she cannot do this she goes out altogether; that is,w hen she dics,she dies all over. Let one of those see a woman in the ; same circle with more exqui j site laces or more gorgeous diamonds, jand fourthwith to Tiffany's or Stew art s goes she, and selects the costli est, remarking, ia a majestic way, "Send the bill to my husband." The bill is sent and the husband, poor fellow, pays it. It may ruin him, he may- want the money in his business to keep it afloat in these cruel times ; but that matters not. Th'c gorgeous gem of a woman must have gor geous sitting, and sittings must be paid for. But some of them do make a fight to keep up appearances without great cost. They spend $1,000 on a shawl, and starve their servants and never pay their wages. They allow their butchers and bakers to go unpaid, j (for these people are seldom sued by tradesmen), that the money thus saved may be squandered in the places of the great autocrats of finery who must and will have their money.

An appalling catastrophe occurred here to-night. A strawberry festival was being held at the parlors of the Cen tral Baptist church, when, without any premonition, the floor gave way, precipitating a room full into tne story below, d he parlor was on the second floor, and the room under neath was also full. A fire alarm was immediately given and the fire men hurried to the scene. Soon ten thousand people were there, and tre mendous excitement prevailed. It is impossible to give particulars at this hour. Five dead bodies were taken out, and the work has hardly com menced. Probable a hundred per sons ure more or less injured, many very seriously. SECOND DISPATCH. The following were taken out dead: Dr. O. Wainwright, Mrs. K. Austin Barries, Mrs. James M. Crow, Mrs. J. E.

Mrs. Dr. Wainwright will undoubt edly die. Ex-Alderman Austin Barnes is very seriously injured. Rev. Dr. II. J. Eidy is slightly injured. Two hundred persons are injured, some dangerously. The bodies arc supposed to be all recovered now. it is impossible to get the names of the injured to-night. The city is filled with lamentations. TITE SCENE IX TITE STREET, around the church baffles description. Thousands are gathered there asking after friends, waiting for dead and attending to the iqjured. The entire police force and the fire department of the city were called out and look charge of the work of recovering the dead and wounded. The broken timbers were hoisted up with difiicul ty. The walls of tho church did not fall in, but are seriously damaged. The church is comparatively a new one. A few minutes before the floor gave way it trembled so that many persons left the room, fearing an acci dent, which had been predicted by many. The accident was caused by the giving way of a joist that sup ported the floor. The joist ran from both sides of the room to a cross stringer, the middle of which was supported by iron rods from the roof. The stringer gave way, pulling the ceiling and roof down upon the people and precipitating them into the room below. The work of recovery was exceed ingly slow, as it had to bo done in the dark, and it was feared every moment the wulls would fall in. LATER. June 24. Fourteen jdcad bodie3 have been recovered from the ruins of the Central Baptist Church, the floors of which fell last night during a festival. OftLo injured, two died to-day and three others are not ex pected to live, while several will lie crippled for life. The number of minor casualitics is nearly or quite one hundred. Among them are about a dozen persons with broken limbs and ribs. The cause of the disaster wa3 a defective construction of the building. The supporting truss was composed of planks spiked together. The excitement in the community continues to be very great. Further search this morning iu the ruins of the Central Baptist Church, failed to discover any more bodies.

The whole charge against hin .i. . - . i was mat some one naa taken to a washer woman, on last Monday, a bloody coat and shirt to wash. 1 rom tho woman's description of the man, the police took Stancliff to be the man, arrested him, and the woman identified him as the person, lie was arrested without a warrant, and con signed to jail without a hearing. On Sunday morning, a Mr. Eldridge was reading the account of StanelilTs ar rest, and the evidence upon which he was arrested, and informed the po lice that the bloody clothes wera his, and that he was the man who took them to the woman. He further brought a dentist to prove that the blood upon the clothes was from draw ing a tooth the dentist had drawn from him on Monday the 14th, the operation being followed by profuse bleeding, thereupon the city magis trate discharged both parties. There is much indignation here over the reckless arrest of Mr. Stancliff. Crime in Kentucky. Louisville, June 23. At Glas gow, on Monday night, in a disrepu table house, a negro named Moxey killed another negro named Everett. The next morning the people, black and white, turned out en masse in pursuit of the murderer. They caught Lim, but he broke away, and picked up a large stone, with which he menaced the crowd. A negro named Jack Martin drew a pistol and fired upon Moxey, but missed him and slightly wounded a white man named J. A. Shirely, who was close beside Moxey. Thereupon Shirely, supposing Martin was trying to res cue Moxey, fired upon Lira (Martfh) with fatal effect. Moxey was then overpowered, brought to town, and jailed. A man named John Brougham was assassinated yesterday morning by Hngh Ellet, in Pulaski county. Ellct's wife left Lira, and took up with Brougham some weeks ago. O'Mahcny, one of the editors of the iVfjw, and Jerome Frazicr, ia which several shots were exchanged with out serious injury to any one. The difficulty originated in an article that appeared in Sunday's Press giving a verbaturu account of a scene in the City Council, in which J. T. Frazicr, j .Mayor of the city, and father ot Jer ome Frazier, acted a very ridiculous part. The article annoyed the Mayor and his son to such an extent that they have been seeking a difficulty ever since. A slight collision took place on Monday, resulting in Frazicr being arrested and fined in the Po lice Court of this city. This, how ever, seemed to have the effect of making matters worse, and resulted in the unfortunate affair to day. There is a great deal of indignation among our citizens that the Mayor of the city should have allowed this dif ficulty to go on, and he may possibly ne removed from office. ister's ib.'t i..?. htp i-,-,n? - 'J vuilWllH f,v, i uj.u'.i.. u:v..-. jones says that he came home bite tho oihrr t-.l , uie .vpacn rd Iilu en minutes appi.t d them nil t: h: IT i.;s w n"" mem mi to mm. m. , nine extra ones ami th, jrtt fi,V i.u On Tuesday, at North Benton, Ohio, a srnali twn near tho Pitts burgh, Fort Wayne it Chicago rail road, and on the line of Portage and Mahonincr counties, a. rcii:h'iiiau named Dr. Conrad was shot and in-1 Paper fbdir barrels are bcin- sianuy Killed i.y a lunatic named , m lowa. mey are said to be ( Ilartzel.

Michael M'Carthy, eaitman for Mr. Dunbar, of C05 West Twentieth street, began yesterday with a drink and supplemented it with so many more that bv ten o'clock he was drunk. He knocked down his daughter, and repeatedly struck his wife, lie then went to a neighboring liquor saloon. At noon he returned home for bis dinner, and after storming at his wife knocked her down and kicked her. With one hand he held her down whilo with the other he drew his pocket knife. He opened a blade with his teeth, but found it too small for his murderous purpose. Then be endeavored to open another blade. Mrs. M'Carthy, who had struggled so desperately with him that the third finger of her right hand was wrencu- ed out of place, availing herself of this diversion of Lis attention, sprang to the w indow and screamed. M'Car thy staggered toward her, seized Lcr by the shoulders, and held her out of the window. With maimed hand she clung to the sill, but her husband hammered on her fingers with Lis clenched fist un til her grasp relaxed, and she fell into the yard, twenty-five feet beneath.

The first blow was struck from the rear, striking him on the left side of his head, cutting the ear in two and crushing the skull. The next blow was evidently intended for his forehead, but struck and broke his lower jaw. The object of the assas sins was robbery, as they took two hundred dollars from his person. Col.
