Altogether Francis Joseph is what is commonly known as "well fixed." It wouldn't be at all strange if Simon Cameion before he "ahufiU-s cfT this mortal coil," would return to his first political love the Democratic party. The Xew York J'imc.i says that when he landed at that city from Europe a short time ago he was asked what be thought of Cleveland's administration, and that Le replied as follows : "Iris all right, and Cleveland is a safe mau. His veto of the 1'ension bills blocked a pernicious move." When a republican like Gen. Cameron declares mat levt'iami is a safe man," he bas j oniy one more siep to tase aua mat is to join the Democratic party of which Cleveland is fie prudeut and trusted representative. A constitutional l'rohibitory amendment was voted on in Tennessee yesterday. The Prohibitionists have m3de a vigorous and aggressive cam paign, and cie-gymen and women have stumped the State from one eud to the odier. The auti-Prohibillonists have, of course, uot been idle aud have done a great deal of lard, eraonal work.

Mrs. Martien, a Cincinnati dressmaker, was put through the nee.le'a eye by these in syectiesses on Wedcesday. AVhat first seemed amiss was a packet of "soiled clothing." Enwrapped by the clothing aforesaid was a piece of silk that meas ured 17"i yards. Having discovered the j silk, the inspeciresses charged ufHin Mrs. ! M.'s stronghold- her bustle. In that hive they fouud a great rob of honey, to wit : Twenty-four pieces of worsted binding, five pieces of black lace, five point lace collars, Cfty-four pieces cf silk binding, twelve pieces of watered silk ribbon, six jet ornaments, a box of I perfumery, a silver watch, two pairs of j bracelets, a pair of toilet ornaments, a dozen packages of French hooks and eyes, one dress pattern embroidered in tinsel ou silk, thirty yards of tinsel embroidered silk crape, and a black silk dress skirt. In Wichita, Kansas, on Friday last, one I. T. Stewart, was sentenced to seventeen years and four months in the county jail ard fined S20.SU0, with the coats of prosecution, for transgressing the l'rohibitory liquor law. He was a clrk in a drug store and pleaded guilty to an indictment containing 2,0.0 counts, at the same time as did Herman, the proprietor of the drug store, who lit out before ha could be sentenced and is mipocsed to have left the State. The Judge or magistrate who imposed this unprecedented siutence upon Stewart had evidently never read the Constitu tion of the United States which declares that excessive fines shall not be imposed "nor cruel and unusual punishments iuflicted." Stewart's punishment is clearly both cruel aud uuusual, and shows the extent to which fanaticism can go in its wild attempts to reform a community "according to the Act of Assembly in such case made and pro vided." The steam ship Alesla, which ar rived in the bay of New York on yesterday week from Marseilles and Xanles with OiX) paseengers, maiuly Italian immigrants, bad four cases of Asiatic cholera on board aud lest eight of her passengers duriug the voyage from tl.e same dreadful disease. The Health officer sent the vessel and her passengers to West Hank, in the lower i part of the bay and her sick passenv'eis were transferred to Swinburae Island Hospit al. All the remaining passengers were transferred to Hoffman Island for observation where the ship will Temain until she shall have beeu thoroughly fumigated and cleat. sed. lr. Hamilton, Suigeou General of the Marine Hospital Service, says that the arrival of a single ship at Xew York infected with Asiatic cholera need not give occasion for alarm, and that in his judgment the Health Or'ietr at New York will be able to handle the ca?es at quarantine without dilllcultv. Mu. Clev eland's journey to the Western aud South-western States will cost him not less than ten thousand dol lais and probably moie than that. He bas cugat;ed a special train for the en tire distance, about 4, ."00 miles consist ing of au engine, a baggage and supply car aud two palace cats. It has not heretofore cost a President any thing to get himself transported to any part of the country to which he wished to make ais:t, the railroad companies always furnishing thecals and the motive pow er. Mi. Cleveland, however, since be became President, and infinitely to bis credit, bas always paid his own fare just as other travelers do, and proposes on his present extensive journey which he began this morning to bear his own ex penses, even if it does cost him the one fifth of his annual salary. The Irish Judge who presided at the trial of Mr. William O'Urien at Mitch bllstowu last week, the charge against him being sedition under the Coercion act. disuoed of that ecntleman's case j with a promptness that reminds one of - the (!ay3 of lhtt illfaiU0us Judge Jeffreys in England, who was familia.ly known as "Iiuicher Jeffreys." O'lliien's trial commenced on Friday last and ended on the afternoon of the next day wltb a verdict of guilty, followed by a sen tence of three mouths iuprisonment. An appeal was taken, bail entered and O'Urien was set at liberty. His convic I tion was. of course, a fixed fact for courts in Ireland now, like courts mar- tial everywhere, are orgauizvd expressly to convict, an acquittal never being dreamed of. Mus. 1lack, the wife of Captain Jliack the Chicago lawyer who defended the Anarchists, said in X'ew Y'ork on Saturday last where she tben was with her husband, that if the men are banged their wives will kill their children and then commit suicide. She adds that the women bad told her bo. The Chicago coi rest indent of the Xew York Wrld visited Mrs. Fischer, Mrs. Parsons, Mrs. Engel and Mr. Fielden on Sunday and asked them if it was trne that tlAy intended to kill their children and then commit suicide after the execution of tbir husbands. With the exception of Mrs. Fieldeu the women all scouted the iJeacf such a thing. Mis. It.ack who is said to be "very smart," had better try the sympathy game in some other ah.-.e and take cie to tell the truth wL; doing so.

Commissioner ot Tensions, who was inTited to attend the reunion at Evansville, Ind., of sol diers who wore the blue and the gray, replied to the invitation in a letter, from which the following is taken : "I would tike to see in this first oat post of war that reunion in the forms of the blue and gray, which in fact bas steadily progressed through all the years since the war, which has grown with the seasons and widened with ihe years. Fraternity, gentleman, is not created by resolution ; loyalty is not born bv act of congress ; charity can not be rpo ken into existence ; but loyalty, frater nity and charity are the outgrowths of a common cause and government, of mutual interests and of mutual regard for the rights each of the other, and all for all all measured and summed up by the word "patriotism. " The patrijt ism of the American soldier is not alone a matter of birthplace ; but, in addition to the sacred ties of the cradle, there comes the devotion which is laid upon the son of a country when he believes aud is taught in the hous3hold circle. In the school, in tho forum, from the pulpit, by the press, by the great course of events, that the destiny of his country is worthy of its grandeur, and can cot be fulfilled save by its united power. "Then is born in bim that strange feeling which takes trie unknown man from the quiet of the Sreside, the seclu sion and peace of an undisturbed locali ty, and puts him without hope of reward, w ithout the stimulus of amoition, in the front ranks of lighting men, unnam ed, a forgotten atom in the vast ranks of armies, prepared to endure privations, imprisonment, fatigue, suffering yes, death itself. This patriotism would brook no denial, stood daunted at no danger, appalled at no disaster, which was bottomed upon no spirit of greed of conquest or hate this patriotism flam ing with the loftiest purposes of the hu man soul, overcame all opposition, con quered all resistance, and in the end receieved the submission of men who, with equal fervor and bravery, bad op posed Ibe national restoration of the Union and the establishment of the legi timate results ot its great war. "It will never be satisfied with less it will tolerate no balking of Us bigh purposes it will never consent that one simile substantialal and essential fruit of national victory should be foregone ; but on the other hand it receives back into the Federal fold back to the fair enterpri3 of brethern back to all the peaceful pursuits of life every return inn citizen and brother who wore the gray. It opens up to its deafeated foe man all the avenues of wealth, pros lenty, power bonot, emolument and regard. Over the graves of war it grows tl.e mass of forgiveness. It turns its back lesolutely upon everything which in olitics, in social life or in any of the varied affaiis of existence would arouse a single dormant passion of war. "1 wish for your re union the greatest success. I hope that under tbe old flag every man who wore the gray will feel that the light of its stars is benignant its protection ample its service honora ble beyond compare. I know that in its supuort there would be oce common assembly from golf to lake and from borer to border, and in the event of tbe sad r.eci."itv of war. the only emulation would be as to who troiu the South or Xorth would stand front in the sreat ranks that should support it. And as the time shall pass and new generations take place of the old, may there be no bitter or es'iargine recollectious of the great civil war. From the bloody mists aud clouds of the tour and a half years of fratricidal struggle ther- has emerged tiie adamantine and indestructible fabric now aSjUied, of She union, the vindica ted law, the established light and the secure citizen. " U'ltrien Found Guilty. Cokk, Sep. -21. At the opening of the trial of Mr. O'lirieii to-day Mr. Caisjn. counsel for the Crown, complained to the Jud?e that Dr. Tanner, a member of Parliament, had yesterday within the Court called him a mean, ruffianly cow ard, and bad expressed tbe hoe that bis head might bo broken. The Court made a note of the complaint. Mr. O'Urien, replying to the charge made against him ot having used sediti ous language in a public address, de clared that tbe Court was cot compe tent to try him, because, it was foreign in its composition to the requirements of tbe British Constitution. At this mint the Judge stonned Mr. O'Urien. i saying the discussion of politics would not be adowed in the proceedings. Mr. Mr. O'Brien thereupon declared that he was a chosen representative of the Irish people and would advocate free speech. Ihe Court again stopped him. Mr. O'Brien said the Crown was gull- , , .. ty ot having suppressed evidence favor able to him. The Crown had witheld, for instance, tne notes made by the Head Constable of the defendant's speech. In these notes, he said, was recorded his statement that the Irish party would give the Land bill fair play. He justified the defense of the Kings town tenants on the ground that the evictions against them were commenced just on the eve of the passage of the Land bill, and thus an attempt was made to defraud the poor, wretched ten ants of the benefits of the measure. He admitted that he tad advised the ten ants not to give up without resistance, and that he had declared that, before God and man. they were justified in de fendiug thir homes. Mr. O'Brien spoke brilliantly, not withstanding the interruptions by the Court, and was frequently applauded. He asserted that his advice had prevent ed evictions, and that a hundred tenants in Mitcbellstown now possessed homes who would have been houseless if bis advice had not been adopted. The sup pression of Constable O'Sullivan's hon est report, he i-aid, showed the means adopted to secure a conviction. He preferred breaking the law with John Hampden and George Washington to oteying tbe law w hich Captain Plunk ett an-i Standish O'Grady administered. Personally be felt very proud of being one of a long line cf men who had made a prison cell a glorious and holy place. Possibly he himself would be the last of that long line, for the Erglish natiou, to which the last apical roust be made, would reverse the decision pronounced to-day and declare it no longer a crime to defend the homes and assert the lib erties of tbe Irish people. The accused was fopnd guilty and sentenced to three months imprison ment. Immediately after fentecce bad been pronounced on the first charge be was placed on trial on the second charge. This was one of the same nature as tbe other. Upon this he was also found guilty and was sentenced to three months imrrisonmect, the term to be concurrent with tbe other. Mr. OMrien appealed from both judgements and wa3 liberated on bail. Pen Picture fLNhon.

TLe men, as a rule, are fairly good looking , the women a painful contrast to their lovely sisters in Southern Spain. Eike them, they diess in black on slate occasions ; but there all similarity ceases, for they have neither their stately walk, tbeir beauty, nor their graceful fan play. In fact, tbe only comely women in Lisbon are the bare legged iish-wives. who trot gayly through me streets poising huge baskets of fish upon their handsome heads, and who, it is whispered, are not Portuguese at all, but immigrants from tbe northern provinces of Spain. There is plenty of life and animation on the streets ; peasants in black jackets, bell shaped trousers supported by a red sash, aud wonderfully pointed shoes. Hog their gayly decked overladen mules over the uneven pavement; handsome ly dressed officers lounge about the doors of the cafes ; sturdy Galician porters, the hewers of wood and drawers of water for tbe leisurely Portuguese, stag ger along under their heavy burdens ; tram cats with three or tour mules abreast rattle past at every moment. Jirigbt eyed children pester you incess antly to buy tickets for the lottery, in which you can speculate for tbe low sum of three pence ; and horsemen in tawdry picador costume canter about the streets, sounding bugles and scattering handbills to announce the program tor thenext bull hzht. All the squares and modern streets are well planted with trees ; and at every available spot in the town a public garden ha3 been laid out, with fountains surrounded by hedges of cactus and alos, aud a wealth of roses, arums, aud geraniums, growing half wild around palm trees, acacias, and bananas. In fact, the enly piece of ground in Lisbon is tbe great open space in front of the king's palace at I'.slem. It is grass grown in ruts and boles ; its few stuuted trees are encircled by broken and un painted wooden guards ; the road con necting it with the center of the town is equally uncared for. The land be longs to the munieipala'y, whose repre senatives decline to spend money upon it, in order to advertise the vigor of their republican sentiment ; the king stands on his dignity and refuses to do the work of the oiuniciiality ; and thus tho state approach to the toy al residence at Belem remains a disgrace to the capital of Portugal.

This opinion is based upon what has been done in France, where some large manufacturing establishments have been successfully carried on for a quar ter of a century on this plan. Withia the iast few days a large Cincinnati firm has adopted the plan and the em ployes have accepted it with enthusiasm. Ou Thursday a large shoe manufactur ing establisnment in Philadelphia fol lowed suit making the fourth concern that has taken this means of ending its labor difficulties in this way. Of course it is in its experimental stage, and it would not be easy to pre dict the final outcome. On its face, however, it appears to grant all tbat the most exacting Knights of Labor can ex pect or reasonably demand. The men get tbeir wages as they did before, and tbe profits, after allowing a moder ate interest on the capital employed and a reasonable compensation to the own ers for their personal services in manag ing tbe affairs of tbe concern, are then divided between the firm and the em ployes. In this way the capital invested becomes productive in the interests of the wage workers is their ally instead of their enemy as they too often wrong fully allege and must command their care and protection instead of being mode ?he ot jeet of their attacks. There is, however, one point that time alone can solve, and that is the condi dition of affairs should one of these profir-sharing firms Jose money instead of earning it. Dull times, panics and olhfr misfortunes are sure to come along occasionally when profits sink out of s:ght and losses take their place. Who is to make up these losses ? Are the employes to tear their share of them just as they enjoyed their proportion ot the gains during prosperous times? Manifestly they cannot be expected to do so. because a majority of them will not save anything out of their increased salaries and consequently cannot bear any of the firm's losses, even though tney felt so disposed, still, it may be Vf'" enough to borrow no difficulties in advance. The bright side of the pic- ture is held up before us and it is wis dom to make the best of it. By the time the evil alluded to comes along, the Fystem will have had a fair trial, and its good qualities, as well as its weak points, will have been fairly test . ,1 l' : 1 1 . i i . . i - ed. We will then be better prepared to meet any difficulties that tuny present themselves. This plan of profit sharing marks a new era in the industrial situa tion, and, although ic is hke'y to under go many modifications, it in all proba bility has come to stay. Lancaster JVev era. It really appears as if Governor Fora ker and his friends in Ohio were at tempting a little bit of capital out of his alleged snubbing by Mrs. Cleveland at the Academy receptim in Philadel phia. The allegation that the lady of fered any indignity to the Grand Army has been abandoned, and the Eole question remaining is : Did Governor Foraker get a slice of cold shouldei from the mistress of tbe White House? A good many think and this is esieci ally the case we find with ladies that Mrs. Cleveland had ample justification in the lavish insults cast at her husband by the Governor of Ohio ; bnt the facts, from the bets authority, show she made no demonet ration of aoy kind whatever that could be properly called a slicht or a snu. Mr. Thomas M. Thompson, of Philadelphia, chairman ot the reception committee, and a Kepublican in politics, by this simple statement of the facts effectially disposes of the whole stcry : I take t!i full responsibility for de nying that Mrs. Cleveland intentionally failed to salute Mr. and Mrs. Foraker and that she reTued to take their hands. She was guided ty me as to when to discontinue or continue handshaking, and if Governor and Mr?. Foraker pass ed by without having been taken by tbe hand, it was during one of the intervals of rest which I insisted fhe should take, and in which, as she bad promised, she was guided by me. The Btory is a silly one, as was tha tale of Mis Cleveland turning her back upon Governor Fora ker during tha parade on Friday. I had raystt taken Mrs. Cleveland over toJIr. Childs's luncheon at the liellevue Hotel ten minutes or more before the Ohio troops came along. Tbe President treat ed Governor Foraker with the same courtesy that he did the other govern ors, and Mrs. Cleveland had no idea of resenting any personal or political dif ferences.

Yellowstone park, or, as It hzs bee-' aptly designated, the New American Won derland, is located in the northwestern corner of Wyoming territory. It measures 3, .'75 square miles.

It includes the headwaters of many large rivers. For size and resources it may be regarded as a considerable park. The prejudice of our forefathers asjainst the Hessians or foreign mercenaries who were sent to this countiy by the English government to subdue the colonics was so great that these troops have since always been spoken of with contempt. They were really regarded among tbe best soldiers in Europe. The contract of England with the Landgrave of Hesse called for 12,700 men, besides "three corp? of artillery," the latter probably numbering a few hundred gun ners in all. But tte Landgrave practiced the grossest frauds, receiving pay for the full number, counting Incomplete battalion?, deserters, the dead, etc. In addition to tte Hessians, England employed 5,723 Bruns wickers in tbe revolutionary war.

The conclusion that tbe gypsies wander ed forth from India Is now almost universal ly accepted, but when or from what part of ludia are questions on which few have done more tkan idly speculate. The identifica tion of tbe gypsies with tbe Jats, wbo in Punjab alone numbered 1,300, Tfti in 1871, has received the support of many of ttose whose opinions or such mat'ers must receive tbe greatest respect. In a metrical para phrase of Genesis, made by an Austrian monk about 1122, they are noticed as lsh maelites, and their descent taus credited to 11 agar. There is a tale extant that the wandering instinct of the gypsy Is due tbe fact tbat their ancestors refused to shelter the Virgin and child In tbeir flight iuto Egypt. This race has many other names in addition to tbat of gypsy, such as Bonen lans. in France ; Ciganos, in Portugal ; Gt'anos, in Spain ; lliedens, in Holland Pharaoh-nepek. in nungary; Tartar, in Dtnx.ark and Sweeden ; Walacbinans, in Italy ; Ziseuaer, in Germany, and so on.

The east bound Texcs and PaeUc train was robbed ou Tuestlay night near Benbrook, Texas, ai the trestle over Mary's Creei, where tfs the same train was robbed is June- The circumstances are similar to Sbo-e of tin last robbery. Jut as the train pulled ou. from the station two men got inta the cal) oi the locomotive and covered Engineer Baker with six-shooters. lie w?.s directed to stop when ordered, and when the loeootive had crossed the trestle tbe order was given and Baker stopped the train. Two men were waiting here and the engineer anJ firemaa were ordered out of the cab and marched to ward the express car under guard. The doors of the car were closed and one of the men. a tall, slim, sand haired fellow, yelled out: "Open up that car." Express Mes senger Maloney paid no attention to tbe orders, when after waiting a tew seconds a hammer of some kind was brought aad the door was vigorously pounded. About this time some ten shots were fired into the Paci fic express car and then pounding began again. At last the door was opened aud one of the robbers jumped in with drawn pistol and demanded tbe money. Maloney bad bidden a considerable number of packages and the remainder were taken from the safe. Ordering Malouey to keep quiet, the roboer jumped out and the mail car was entered, but without any shots being Cred. Mail Agent Griffin was compelled to give up tbe registered packages, and it Is said that near- I ly all the registered matter was taken There was no effort made to rob the pas sengers, many of whom were considerably frightened. There were one or two atmed men In the coaches who were prepared to defend the passengers if the robber had at tempted to enter. After finishing their work In the mail car the robbers escorted Tbe amount stolnn is variously e-timated from 5:2.000 to ?.K).0OO, but none ot the mail men cr the Pacific officers will say anything about the matter. The theory of the cCifrers Is that the same men who committed the robbery in Jun were engaged in that of Tuesday night, but this is tbe pur.-t toan e. ture. The Mrj f m Crime. i On May 17 tne bodies of Sdmrnie j and Willie Speraw, age.l respectively I four and six years, were fouud i buried In a ditcb at Annyille, Lebanc county. They had been murdered and tl.eir grancfather, William Showers, agea 'M years, was suspected of the crime and loiged In jail tnd bis trial wns to have taken plic? last Friday morning. The court room wes crowdc-d and a large num ber of witnees v.-er? rresent. Shortly t aner rno opening or court Miowers was brought in leaning on the anus of two deputy sheriffs. When quiet had be?n restored five pags of manuscript were hanced to Judge McTberscn and it soon tecame known that Showers bad madt a full confession. He gave a detailed occount of tbemurdr, in which he Implicated bis housekeeper Miss IJetsy Sargeant, ai;ed 40 years, as a;i accessory. Miss Sargeant, it is aileced promised to many Slioweis but refuted to do ' so until he got rid of the children. Showtrs ! say : "Betsy Surgeart came to my houo on ' the nigl-t of flay K. We 'It a candle. Tha children were aslep tnd she rolled their clothes t:p In 11 bun.ile. 1 bad already dug : a bole in which to bury tbe l-nhles. We ; tben w-nt up stajrs. I had a t:CK piece of ' twine, about a yard long. I tied this t around Willie's nect and stragled him to df at':. I then carried tbe boy out under rjy arm and put tiia in tl.eholj. Mi.-sSarsoaut carried the lantern. We tben returned to tbe bouse, and taking a sxa'.l petticoat, tied it around i-'amiaie's netlc and strangled him. lie was also carried out and thrown into tbe hole. Ou the way to tbe nous? I as.fe-.-d Eetsy what we should do with tne bod- clothes. She said she would burn them in tie coub stove, which she diet." ftetsy was in the court rot.m at the tirje the confession was read, and before the Jndg4 had con cluded she faiutud and bad to te removed. Betsy will te arrestej. The wildest ex citement prevails, and li is feared Showers will be lynched.
