The Western Union telegraph com pany, after having swallowed up ether telegraph companies innumerable, and having just finished a very big meal off the latest and greatest addition te its alliances, is once mere confronted with a rival company about being formed, which is said te be the very biggest of all. Indeed its style is such and the Western Union's present distention se great that nobody can see hew it is ever .going te manage te swallow the new con cern, be it ever se willing. Consequently everyone is looking te sea the Western Union burst. But just yet there are no signs of it apparent. Its market price stands at about ninety, for some eighty millions of capital, and the fact that all its property and franchises can be duplicated for about a quarter of this sum docs net seem te affect the value of the stock a whit in the opinion of its holders. The reason probably is that they held se mucli of it that they dare net let it depreciate, though the only ether alternative they have is te buy mere at the quotations they sustain. Jay Gould happens te be the man who is leaded with the inflated stock, lie went into a little operation with Mr. Vander bilt at the time of the last big meal of the company, in which u great deal of money was apparently made by the 'schemers. Mr. Vanderbilt secured his share of the booty by selling out te his friend Gould, and the latter has been awaiting a ge.id opportunity ever since te get his by unloading en the public. But the times have net been propitious. Stock values generally have been dis turbed, and Western Union particularly has been made a heavy burden by the organization of the great rival company which probably has Vanderbilt among its promoters, as well as Keene and ether capitalists who are net sorry te pounce upon Mr. Gould. And while things are in this position the Xew Yerk Herald suddenly steps in with an exposure of the manifestly precarious value of the Western Union stock. It says nothing new, it is true, aud everyone who deals in stocks ought te knew all that it tells him. But fiem the commotion that the Herald makes by its assault it would seem that the people who buy stocks are supposed te knew very little of the values they are dealing in. Anyone of the slightest intelligence, one would think, would see that a company se greatly overstocked as is the Western Union, and which is threatened with a strong rival, is net safe te buy into at anything like present quotations. And Jay Gould, in relying upon the public te relieve him of his lead of the stock, certainly would appear te exhibit a very rash confidence in their stupidity. But his successes have been se great in acting upon a confidence in the silliness of stock operators that he may be excusable for thinking (hat there is no limit te it. And if the Herald interference was really necessary te save the lambs of the stock market in this case, their natural felly was net greatly overestimated. As Mr. Gould owns two of Hie daily news papers of New Yerk and uses them free ly te sustain his schemes, he cannot complain of the Herald that it takes a hand in the game ; though it is se un usual for it te interfere with Wall street bubbles that its present attitude excites comment. Seme people say that the Herald owner is prompted in dictating its course by Mr. Gould's motives and is pecuniarily interested in depressing the Western Union stock. But the reputation of the Herald and of Mr. Bennett gainsay this judgment ; whatever his faults he has never been known as a stock gambler, and his paper has net been wielded for any such base use. As his personal organ it new and then gats into very undignified and un worthy positions ; but as it has provided its owner with all the money he wanted te spend, he has never been in a pecu niary scrape which required the debase ment of his great newspaper for his ex trication. Whatever the motive which inspires the Herald in its exposure of the Western Union bubble, its denunciation is in the public interest. If the press would use its power te expose all such rotten concerns, the occupation of the country's great and respectable thieves would net be se richly rewarded. The Xew Yerk Times, ihe leading Republican newspaper of the country, deserves great credit for the searching and persistent manner in which it con tinues te expose in detail the Star route postal frauds, and its very comprehen sive disclosures leave little te be done in the way of preparing evidence for the conviction of the conspiring scoundrels who, under Hayes's administration, plundered the government with such impunity that they must have been protected by these in power. The pub lic are net satisfied with the tardiness of the prosecution of these thieves, nor have they forgotten that the wholesale sys tem of Treasury steals, has net been fully investigated aud that the inquiry begun was suddenly and suspiciously abandon ed, without any satisfactory explanation ever yet given te the public. That eminent civil service reformer, Senater Themas V. Cooper, inaugurates his work its chairman of the stale cen tral committee in a style characteristic of such civil service reform ers and which proves that these who put him where he is were as sure of their man :n when in the Senate they used te put him into the chair ; and Beb Mackey would crawl te the feet of power and hand him a memo randum of the things te be done and the committees te be appointed. Cooper is striking the office-holders ; he needs te leek out that next year they de net strike him. Gen. Leuis Wagner, of Philadel phia, who has done the ringseme service wherever it needed respectable backing, suddenly discovers its bad character and mutters about a belt. The discovery would de Waguer mere credit if be was net open te the suspicion of having delayed getting tired of the ring until the ring had become tired of him. His physicians have given up the pres ident as beyond human aid, and the long suspense may be considered ever ; for though doctors de often prematurely des pair of their patients, in this case there is hardly a chance that they have done se. The public generally has anticipated a fatal end te the president's illness for-a long time. The hope of these about his bedside has net extended far away from it. The people are fully prepared for the sad news of te-day, though their sorrow is none the less, that the shock of surprise does net accompany it. The long suffering of the president is a strong element in the grief which the end brings with it. The sincerity of the mourning which the nation will put en will be un challenged. There is no one at all in the land whose heart is net heavy under the heavy dispensation of his death. MINOR TOPICS.

One class of able editors, arc sure that the assassin would have te be tried en foreign soil according te New Jersey law ; another set of news paper lawyers arc equally sure that the removal of the victim precludes the possi bility of a conviction for murder. Alto gether the disability and inability question is quite distanced by the new problem. Osi: grievous effect of the drought seen by the New Yerk Sua is the l educed cucumber crop. Last year New Yerk state raised 200.000,000, Illinois 100,000,000, New Jersey 10,000,000, aud ether states many millions mere. This year, it is said, there will net behalf a crop, which means a scarcity of pickles. This, added te the corner in lonieus, our luminous contempor ary thinks, will ensue in far-reaching con sequences. But then there are people who think the Sun has all the acidity it needs. The talk ever that way is that Win. H. Sewdcn, of Lehigh, wants te be a candi date for the Democratic nomination of lieutenant governor next year aud was about getting his delegates elected ; that Dan Ermen trout wants te be governor and knows that Sewdcn would he in his way, hence he slipped ever te Alleutewn and had a cjnference with Judge Albright about getting auti-Scwdcu, pio-Ermcn-treut delegates set up fiem that bailiwick. Altogether it leeks as if the statesmen in tho.se parts had bit off mere than they could chaw, and about this time next year Ermeutreut, Sewdcn and Albright will all knew a great deal mere than they de new.

Kaslly Pronounced. A correspondent of the Ledger writes te it : In your paper of the 13th instant you have a pleasant editorial about the te.vn Ystradyfeddwg, which Lippincott gives as being in Glamerganshire, Wales, ieu have spoiled it with only one " d,'s but the proper way, I am told, is as I have written it. A Welsh friend laughed when he read your article, and said, " Why, sir, that name is as easy toprenouncoas Phila delphia," and he proved his assertion. The pronunciation, he said, is Tstrathevo Tstratheve Tstrathevo deog. But there is a Welsh parish with a name containing forty-three letters, and I doubt if any one, except a na tive born Welshman, can pronounce it. It is at the Auglesea end of the Britannia bridge, which cresses the Mcnal Strait. The name is Llanfair Llanfair Llanfair pielehgivyngergobtvleMlandyssiliegogo. Mr. Rebert Stephenson who was the engineer in charge of the bridge, when he went te viiw the progress of the work, always lived in that parish. Sir Francis Head, iu his account of the floating of the first tube alluding te this parish, said that Mr. Stephenson had slept there " undistureed by consonants." The name is remarkable of itself, but a mere remarkable fact is that a poem often stanzas has been written, each stanza ending with the above name. Te prove that the name ban be pronounced I give the pronunciation as I find it in the " Cambrian " for 1880. It is pronounced as if written thus : ThlanzircpooleJtgwinger ThlanzircpeoleJtgwinger ThlanzircpoeleJtgwinger goboolcldhlandisiliogogo.

This was followed by vomit ing. During the latter the president's pulse rose up te 140, and there was con sternation in Franklyn cottage, for it was thought by some that the awful hour had come when James A' Garfield must pass the dark river. A regular panic seized upon the president's household for a short time. The attendants ran hither and thither bareheaded across the lawn, te the surgeons' cottage, te Elberon and te the house of Secretary Brown. The news thus rapidly spread, and it was net mers than twenty minutes afterwards that it flew te the West End, ever a mile away, and startled the correspondent from their lairs te precipitate them en Elberon. The president was said te be in extreme dan ger by one report and ether reports varied according te the imagination or excite ment of the bearer. At Elberon the doc tors were surrounded by aa eager throng of repeitcrs, each firing questions of his own aud none waiting for au answer te the question of anyone else. The ical story was a brief one and seen told. The president had been seized with a severe chill about 11 o'clock and it lasted nearly half an hour. He was very weak before it came en, and the doctors under took te stiffen him up a little with brandy and water. He then grew deathly sick, vomiting up the stimulant and everything else en the stomach At the same time he was in a raging delirium and talked wildly and clutched at the blankets. This alarm ed one of the attendants se much that he reported the president dying. The alarm may be said te have communicated itself te the entire household. The absent mem bers of the cabinet were telegraphed te re turn immediately. The Cause of the Chill. Dr. Boyuteu steadfastly adheres te the opinion of abscess en the lungs. Frem this he derives the rigors and accounts for the unfortunate condition of Saturday. Dr. Bliss declares that, se far as the evi dences go, the lungs arc iu a better con dition than they have been for several days. Dr. Bliss says the lung trouble is a sort of bronchial catarrh, and no inclica tiens of mctastic abscesses exist. He re gards the abscess or pus cavity theory mero dangerous than the state of general bleed poisoning as tue cause el the rigors. In the former case it would require a surgical operation, which it is extremely doubtful whether the president in his present weak condition could survive. It is admitted that the latter theory is had enough and the question of maintaining life is reduced te one cf endurance and the ability te pre vent the recurrence of the rigors. Dr. Bliss frankly says that unless they can fight them off successfully the end must seen come, as they would quickly wear out the president. He is very hopeful that they will be able te de this. The abscess he disposes of by saying that the presence of dammed pus any where would upset the patient's stomach and be accompanied by a high febrile rise. The enemata are of beef, instead of beef extract, which is net easily assimilated. Stimulauts of brandy have been given later aud retained. The fact that the hour for the chills had been successfully passed last night gave renewed hope that the president will weather the storm. There is a general feeling of depression however, and fears arc entertained en all sides that the wers' will be antici pated within a week. Dr. Aguew made au important statement concerning the feb rile recurrence : "That mau," said he, speaking of the president, " has the most extraordinary constitution I ever kuew." When asked whether the patient had gained or lest since his arrival at Leng Branch he replied, emphatically : "What ever changes mav have occurred he has certainly lest nothing. A mau in his con ditian needs geed air. I uen t knew any place where he can obtain better air than here." Dr. Bliss explains a new treatment which hail been commence.! J? riday night, which it appears has become necessary from the president's increased less of vitality and which is new in such a low condition that the feed taken by the stomach has ceased te assimilate properly, or at least suffi ciently te ovcrcemo the waste which is going en. The new treatment is the ad ministration of defebrinated beef bleed by enemata. The bleed is procured fresh every morning from New Yerk and whipped until it is entirely free from the febrinc or stringy part of the fluid. This process also prevents the danger of its be coming clotted. Western I.ove Stories. ChailesIIusted, of Michigan, married a girl because her house was destroyed in the great tires, rendering her homeless. He thought that was the shortest way te pro vide for her. Jehn Bunt and Annie Peters were te have been married in Pulaski county last week, near the Lincoln line. The preacher and invited guests had arrived. There was a storm coming. During a pause in the wind the expectant bride went te the deer te welcome the groom. She gave a joyous laugh of recognition, and ran te meet him at the gate ; but at thattnement a belt of thunder shook the hills, and Annie Peters fell dead from a stroke of lightning. Yeung Spnrgcen was expected te die within twenty-tbur hours at Crestline, O., and under the circumstances Miss Gray consented te marry him, though she had never recipricated his affection, and had chosen another man te become her hus band. Her amiability get her into a dilemma, for Spurgcen has recovered and wishes te held her te the compact. Te that she will net agree, and she begs him te get a divorce se that she may marry his favored rival. In this unsatisfactory con dition the matter rests. Without doubt the e!Ny stone-cutter iu the whole world with sufficient assurance te court a widow while engaged in the very act of recording upon monumental maible the virtues of the late lamented, lives in Louisville, Ky., and his name is Benjamin Fergusen. The courtship ad vanced mere rapidly than the inscription, and when the latter was only half finished the former ended in a wedding. The elegiac pair are new taking the customary journey, but the stonecutter has agreed te finish the epitaph as seen as they return. The I'resent Condition or West Felnt. The beard of visitors appointed by the president te examine West Point have submitted their report. They state that it seems as though a graduate of the academy ought te be superintendent and regret that the assistant pro fessors cannot be detached permanently for that service without interfering with their hopes of promotion. They de net believe there ever was a mere competent academy beard than the present one. The penalties for violation of regulations seem mild and calculated te stimulate the well-disposed student te renewed exertions aud net te break the manly spirit of inde pendence. The malpractice of hazing has been crushed, but it still lingers te some extent. The behavior and bearing of the carets are highly commended. It is recommended that the cadets' bar racks be vacated by a number of officers and devoted solely te their use and the use of their immediate commanding officers. New apparatus and the erection of a swim ming tank is recemmeuded. Tbey desire the applicants for admission te be better prepared for their examinations. They think the treasurer should be required te give a bend aud account directly te the treasury department. Better ventilated sleeping rooms are also needed by the cadets. The improvements proposed by the beard will cost about forty thousand dollars. LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. THE HEAD OK THE CORNER. Laying of Corner-Stene at at. Mary's Xew Orphanage. The old church adjoining St. Mary's has been tern down and en its site is being built an orphanage and school. Anew school has become a necessity in St. Mary's parish, as the rooms heretofore occupied en Seuth Queen street have be come tee small for the accommodation of the scholars, and possibly inconvenient for an orphans' home hence the new build ing the corner-stone of which was laid yesterday afternoon. The services were impressive. At the rear of the church the precession of priests, acolytes and sedal ities was formed and marched tpthe corner-stone in the folewing order : First, Father McCallan, the eloquent priest who has been conducting the religious services at St. Mary's for the past week, followed by the Orphans, Sadality of the Blessed Virgin, Sodality of the Hely Innocents, St. Mary's Sunday Scheel, Cress Bearers and Acolytes ; then tbe Priests in attend ance, Father Ignatius, McCallagb, Gretemayer. Rait, Hickcy, and Right Rev. Bishop Sbauahan, who conducted the services, assisted by Father Kaul deacon, and Father 31. Cassine, of Italy, sub-deacon. The bishop were the robes of his office, including the mitre and carried the crosier, symbol of his pastoral authority. An immense crowd surrounded the foundations of the new building societies and members of the church, with'hundreds of ether denominations, prompted by cu riesity te wnness the ceremony. Bishop Shanaban stepped te the front of tLe platform and in a few appropriate and earuest words stated the pnrpese of the building and asked the material assistance of all who desired the geed works inaugu rated te be completed, and a collection was lifted, which netted a very handsome amount. Next came the ceremonies proper the solemn blessing of the cress, the corner stone and foundation wall. Amid the silence the solemn chant et the prcist rose te Heaven for a blessing en the work se auspiciously began. The articles deposited in the stone were as fellows : Names of the President and these of all the national, state and municipal officers ; the name of the Pepe ; copies of all the local newspapers, and some coins. The stone, which is a fine block of sandstone, was the donation of Mr. Lewis Haldy. Father McCallan new stepped te the front aud addressed the people. The father is a comparatively young mau, but has made a iqark as an eloquent preacher. He is fluent, earnest and graceful. Net se ruggedly impressive as Father McGuire but mere kindly persuasive He speke substantially as fellows : " This should be a golden letter day in the parish of St. Mary's the laying of this cerner-steno of a building where your children can be ed ucat d and the orphan be tenderly cared for a building wheie education and char ity will walk hand in hand, working for the prosperity and geed of this parish. It has been said that the Catholic church is net a friend of education, but fortunately the assertion meets its answer in the thou sands of parish schools like this, where the education of the mind marches with equal pace with education of the heart and thus making the complete thinking moral man. As new, se in the old days, Catholic leve of learning fondly cherished popular edu cation. Catholic enthusiasm erected the spires of England's learucd halls and laid the foundation stones of Europe's great universities. Wisely the Catholic church considers the education of te day. The tendency te merely develop the intellect, and let the heart and feelings starve en ab stractions, is what schools Iike this must correct. Intellect without moral bal ance may be a curse. The history of our own time shows that educated dishonesty is the evil of the hour. Meral impulses must be developed, and religious feelings put iu action, te give tone and direc tion te intellectual energies. Respect for authority, in both state aud family, must be taught. This is en the wane. The dastardly attempt te assassinate our president, is but an expres sion of that contempt for authority which, beginning in the family, ends by slaying a ruler. All this proper education can correct. The Catholic church assumes the task. In this school your children will be taught these things which will be an advantage in this world, but above all they will receive such impulses from mor ality and religion as te assure the happi ness of the the world te come. "Aside from the educational purposes of this building, something even kindlier ap peals te our hearts. Faith, hope and charity, but the greatest of these is char ity.' Here is te be the home of the or phan the little waifs who never feel a mother's kiss or walk with the guiding grasp of a father's hand. These are given te your care Ged is their father and the Blessed Virgin their mother. Yeu are doing Ged's work in providing for the fatherless. Whatsoever ye de unto ene of these little ones ye de unto Christ. " Yeu are then erecting a building where we trust our hopes will be realized in au educated parish of moral men and women and where tbe wants of the orphan will be relieved by Sympathy's hand. Let your prayers call for a blessing en what is ee nobly begun, and let your generosity never flag till the work will be completed for your glory." The Rev. father spoke for a half hour, wisely suggesting facts about education and earnestly asking the aid of the congrega tion for the geed cause of parish instruc tion. The multitude knelt aud received the solemn benediction from Bishop Shanahan. The school will be finished this fall and will be an ornament among our educa tional institutions. r.nd of the Jubilee and Forty Hours. The Forty Hours' Devotion which has been in progress at the church in connec tion with the Jubilee, terminated last even ing in the presence of an immense congre gation that crowded the building, almost te suffocation. The service was of an uiuisally impressive character. All the priests whose names are above given were in the sanctuary, and the sol emn Litany of the Saints was chanted. Father McCallan preached a sermon in his customary forcible vein, urging upon his hearers te carry en the work that had, he said, been merely begun in the service of the week, and re minding them that it was essential they should persevere te the end te obtain the reward. Following the sermon came the precession of the Blessed Sacrament, a very solemn aud impressive service, which was fully described in our columns at the outset of the Forty Hours. The beuedic beuedic tren was then performed, his reverence the bishop officiating. A feature of yesterday's services was the very elegant floral ornamentation of the altars, which was perhaps never surpassed in the history of the church. During the morning there were seven masses, the visiting and resident priests severally officiating, and at the 10 o'clock mass Father McCallan's discourse was a succinct and powerful exposition of the duties of Catholics in their relation te the con stituted authorities of the national govern ment. The attack en President Garfield was referred te in a most feeling manner, the crime of the assault vividly portrayed and execrated, and the condition of the wound ed chief magistrate commended as a sub ject for the prayers of all who have the wclfare of the patien at heart .that he might be speedily restored. TJie Corener's Jury. This evening the coroner's jury which was empaneled te inauire into the death of 1 Henry Pickel, who was killed oe the rail read en Friday, will meet in the orphans' court room.

There was quite a full attendance at the meeting this morning at Shober's hotel. W. U. Hensel was re-elected chairman and W. H. Reland, B. S. Patterson and W. Hayes Giier secretaries.
