The New Yerk stock exchange some time age expelled a'nember whom its committee had found guilty of disbon disben esty in dealing-with one of his cus tomers. The broker had been in the habit of buying stock for his own ac count, when a large purchase of that stock was ordered by the customer, before he began te fill his customer's order. Then he would begin buying for him, and after his purchases had ad vanced the stock he would unload en his customer the stock he had purchased at a lower price for his own account. This was a sample of his mode of deal ing ; and, of course, its gross dishon esty is unquestionable. Se was the evidence which proved it, the broker's own books showing the transaction. The broker appealed te the courts en techni cal grounds te be reinstated in the ex change, and has succeeded in teraperari ly getting such an order. It is certaiuly remarkable that a man of demonstrated dishonesty can thus raise the arm of the law te defend himself from the effort of his indignant associates te rid themselves of him. It is a very brazen thing for a thief te go te the law and demand that it shall protect him from the proper con sequences of his criminality. But what is te be -said of the law that gives him its aid in his effort ? . It is true that the Xew Yerk stock exchange has net gene far enough in its issue te punish the man it condemns. II should net be content with expelling him. It should make complaint against him for his dishonesty and secure his indictment and conviction. It should see te it that the proper punishment of the law is invoked upon the crime it has condemned. It can thus vindicate the law, punish the criminal and relieve itself from the presence of an unworthy mem ber. But though it does net de all that it might de and steps in its vindication of justice when it has expelled the offender from its membership, the law should net step it in the very proper effort it makes te purify its membership and keep its reputation stainless. A Geed Selection. The president keeps en in the Jine he has marked out for himself in making his appointments te office, lie has nom inated Walter Evans, of Kentucky, te be commissioner of internal revenue Mr. Evans is agentleman of intelligence and integrity. His name is fresh and there does net cling about it the stale odor of the hackney politician. Helms the necessary qualifications for au efli cient eflicer. IIe is honest aud capable. His nomination is a stpp forward in genuine civil service reform. If our officers should be appointed by these who have authority te appoint them, under the. considerations which nave evidently meveu uie president in making his late selections, there would be no need of a civil service commission. These who have the appointing power have with it the power te select the honest and competent men that the service needs. That is self-evident. All that is wanted is te have the appointing officers inspired by proper motives in doing their duty aud possessed of the intelligence and moral stamina needed te make them ; geed motives bring forth geed fruit. The president sets the ex ample te his department heads. He appoints geed men. If his subordinates fellow his example the civil service com mission will net be needed. If they de net se incline, the civil service cemmis sien win ue inenective. it is et no consequence, any way. j. here nas Deen semewnat et a tempest in a teapot in Philadelphia journalism ever the charge of the Press that a cable letter, claimed as the exclu rn - . . .. sive property of its Sunday edition, has been twice surreptitiously obtained and published in the Times. The charge that it was stolen and that the Times knowingly received the steleu goods has been made with such directness, and the assertion of the Times that the letter was in the market, the property of any paper which cheese te buy it, has been repeated with such emphasis as te cause some wonderment en the part of these who have observed the courtesy recently prevailing be tween the Philadelphia newspapers. The mystery is fully explained te-day by the publication in the Press and Times of letters from the men who make these cable letters. While eneC. A. O'Keurke, who claims these cables as his, writes the Press that no one except himself had nor could have had authority te furnish this cable dispatch te any paper in Phila delphia, and his relations were with the Press only, auether,F. X. Schoenmaker, who styles himself manager of the Cable News association relieves the Times by giving it a certificate that the letters were freely for sale te all comers, and writes the Press that, in Mr. O'Reurke's absence and in the absence of any notice from him of a sale of the cable letter te the Press, he delivered it te the Times; both papers, therefore, get the letter in geed faith ; the hard names that the Press has been calling the Times must be withdrawn or have a Pick wickian construction put upon them. It leeks very much as if the managers of the Cable News asso ciation have been playing a sharp trick en the great Sunday papers of Philadelphia, one wicked partner en the streets of Philadelphia selling them " exclusively" te the Press, while the ether wicked partner was selling them ever the counter in New Yerk te the Times. The transaction ought tesug. gest te the newspapers which were fooled the necessity of -getting exclusive cable letters through some mere exclusive and less leaky agency, while te their readers the wonder will be occasioned whether news thus traded in may net be of sus picious compounding. 'The new commissioner of internal revenue is said te ewe his appointment te the new postmaster general: If the president leads his beat with se much Gresham, he will have te keep both feet in one scow. " It may'be when tee Prcsscallsthe Times a thief and the Times rcalls'the Tress a Iiar and Cable New Manager O'Reurke call3 the Times a sneak, and Cable News Manager Schoenmaker calls the Press a fraud, all of them are only advertising each ether and these cable news letters which O'Reurke and Schoon Scheon Schoen maker make and the Press and Times, each, publish " exclusively." Mn. Arthur has found a successor te Mr. Eads, who resigned from the Mis sissippi river commission because he could net altogether have his own way. It may be just as well. There is a very strong odor of the lobby about Mr. Eads. Anether man with comes te the front. a Grant medal Tuese Mormons down in Harford coun ty, Md., have been holding another meet ing and as they preach against polygamy their doctrines preve net unattractive te the people among whom they are premul gated. " There are symptoms of a revival of the nanie of Den Carles Buell as a presidential candidate. It can be said te his credit that bince the war he has been engaged in mere useful employment than lighting pver the battles of the war or running for office. A " VETERINARY DENTIST " OUt at Bertzuin, Ohie, proved such a fascinator that the wife of the postmaster, a wealthy landowner aud merchant, the mother of three children, handsome and forty, eloped with him. Had he been known as a doctor of horse teeth mayhap he had proved less seductive. Seme of the most illustrious patriots in Mexico's modern struggles for freedom and progress have sprung from Iudiau stock, and many of the leading men in the republic are of that race. Nearly all the eloquent speakers in the Mexican Con gress are Indians. The Mexicans are the best herseback riders since the Centaurs. Tue Army of the Potomac reunion in Washington proves net te have been an altogether satisfactory affair and as the glamour of the occasion, evolved from it by newspaper correspondents, wears fl' it appears that the attendant was te meagre as te make the proportion f yrcsi yrcsi deutial candidates entirely tee large for the comfort of all of them. a, The experts of merchandise during the present year will-probably exceed these of last year by from $GO,000,000 te $75,000, 000. Last year their value was $750,000, 000. This year, judging from the nine months for which we have figures, the total will he from $810,000,000 te $820,000, 000. The total oxperts for the nine mouths ended March 31 were $050,000,000,000, against about $300,000,000 in the corres ponding time of last year. The New Yerk World lays it down as a matter of newspaper prepriety that "the private, social affairs of a club concern the members only aud the outside public has no business with them." Obviously the new World has mero respect for the priva cy of club atTairs than for these of the family, inasmuch as the ether day it gave its readers a highly sensational account of the incompatibility of Oliver Perry Bel mont aud his bride, without even the jus tification of divorce proceedings begun begun The man who makes the new New Yerk World should make his paper consist. Twe of the particularly devilish kind of murderers which French civilization alone can produce, after strangling a' jeweller's servant girl in Paris in bread daylight, robbed his store, made their way with their booty into Belgium, and might have entirely evaded detection had they net in their abandonment begun te sell fifty dol lar chains te the Brussels courtesans for ten francs and exchange diamond bracelets for kisses. The particulars of the affair, making a column and a half, have bceu cabled te the Herald te illustrate that there are worse criminals and stupider police en that side of the water than en this. It is seldom indeed that the close of a twenty-live year pastorate finds the con gregation stronger and hotter satisfied with their pastor, the preacher mere vig orous and contented with his let, and the material and spiritual condition of their rolatieus challenging the respect of the outside world with mero confidence than at any previous time within such a quarter of a century's experience. Yet this is the fortune of the Union Presbyterian church, of Celeraine township, which is arranging te celebrate in a becoming manner the twenty-fifth anniversary et the pastorate of Rev. C. W. Stewart, D. D., its widely known pastor, the reoerd of whose useful activity for this length of time is an im portant part of the history of the religious and social development of the lower end. There seems te be seme rivalry among the Philadelphia newspapers for the cer respeudence of such well known writers as "Ramsdell," "Oath" and ' Je. How Hew ard." The patronage they receive has spoiled them. As a result the readers of the newspapers which pay for their letters by the column, and apparently print them without editing, have te put up with a great deal of slop. Ramsdell pads out his Press letter of last Sunday with Lincoln's Gettysburg speech. Je. Heward relates ad nauseam the tiresome and disgusting details of the hangings he has seen and reported, and Gee. Alfred warms up the domestic scandals of the Cenklings. If these illustrious gentlemen would read the Recerd's Sunday New Yerk letter, and study the daily letter from New Yerk te the Ledger, they might improve their style. Jee Muluattan's yarn about a meteor meteor metoer olite an aero in extent in Texas and the still worse story of the fall of an aerelite, in New Yerk state, with a two edged sword sticking in it, are discounted by some of the " actual facts" related in con nection with the awful ravages of the late Western cyclone. Fer example, at Kellogg's Corners, Kenesha county, Wis., a mill pond was picked up and carried along in a blinding sheet until it struck a stable and drowned a oew ; an ice house taken up has net yet come down ; a kitchen stove was landed in a bay mew, 200 yards ' off, aad the live coals in it set the barn pn fire aad it was ceasuraed ; fence rail was driven through the body of a horse ; a fleck of geese were found naked of their feathers, the storm having stripped them from their backs and hung them en a hedge fence, which was then lifted up root and branch and set down around a distant field ; a 42,000 pound car lead of stone was lifted from the railroad track ; Peter Scbacffer's house, in Mount Palaski, 111., was tern te pieces and its flying timbers and the bodies of its inmates mingled in the air; be was blown into the branches of a large cottonweed tree, that bad been prostrated by the storm, and found his wife lying at the base of the tree in an un conscious conditieu ; further en, under a pile of rails his little girl, se badly injured that she will probably die ; the baby did net receive even a scratch, and was found complacently viewing the spot whero its home had steed but a few moments bo rn fore. PERSONAL. Jonh Brigut smokes and occasionally drinks whisky. Arthur is catchirif it savagely for fail ing te fulfil his engagement te attend the Army of the Potomac rcuuion,geiug oil en a moonlight sail dewntlK Potomac, with out even sending his regrets. Hen.'David Davis and his bride are in the Yesemite Valley, Cal., but Mrs. Davis is reported te have thought lightly of the big trees, comparing their girth te that of her spouse. Gen. Rebert C. Scuenck, though a lever of geed living, had the fortitude te adhere te a diet solely of milk aud toma toes for a year. His physician prescribed it as the enlyure for Bright's disease New "the general is well. Jehn Y. Yeung, eldest son of Brigbam, disappointed at the failure of the church te elect him his father's successor, became an exile in Arizona with three of his wives. He had a very valuable construc tion contract en the Atlantic & Pacific read, and inade a large sum of money. Jural A. Early has declined te permit a camp of Confederate veterans in Lynch burg, Ya., te use his name as a title, aud advises them te take that of Gen. Gar land, a Lyuchburgcr, who was the first Confederate general te fall iu the war. In these times, he suggests, it-is dangerous te pay honors te any but the dead. Sergeant Ballantine, the ancient and famous English barrister who lately visited these shores, is maintained by his son, who inherited a large fortune from his deceased wife. Before his marriage with her sbe was the widow of a rich member of Parliament, and before she wedded him she had been a prettysjmd decorous bar maid. Her respectability is notable by contrast with seme of the bar maids, flash dancers aud demi months, te whom the scions of English nobility seem te take se naturally nowadays. W. W. Heward, of the Philadelphia Times, will have in the Continent some of these early days an article, entitled " Among the Jersoy Crabbers," descrip descrip tive of their quaint and curious ways of doing things. The oddities of life from a very marked proportion of the habits of the peculiar people who drag their living out of the Shrewsbury river, and Mr. Heward's paPer W'U present te the reader a unique aud interesting phase of novel existence.

The Daughter of the Late Senater Hill Killed In a Kunaway Accident. Mrs. Rebert B. Ridley, youngest daugh ter of tbe late Senater Hill, en Friday evening, with her baby, a few weeks old, and Miss O'Callaghan, went out driving in Atlanta. After being out half au hour she drove past her home, left the babe with its nurse, and drove out te the boulevard. Just as she turned the street a white man, Albert Themas, aud two negrees, drove their horses by at a gallop ing gait, hallooing aud urging them en. Mrs. Ridley's horse being very spirited, took fright aud dp shed away at a feaaful rate. The ladies jumped, Miss O'Callag han sustaining bruises aud Mrs. Ridley falling upon head and lying unconscious. She was taken into the house of Mr. E. F. Mayes, and her husband. Dr. Ridley, summoned. He called Dr. Wiliis i Westmoreland, who at once declared that death, or insanity if life remained, would ensue. The lady lay unconscious from that time till death relieved her, with but ene intermission when her 5 weeks' old babe was brought te her. She extended her hands, took it a moment, and then let it down with exhaustion aud agam became unconscious. Mrs. Ben H. Hill, the lady's mother, who was iu Athens, arrived but was se shocked that her death is new expected. Mrs. Ridley was one of the most popular ladies in the city. lleavy Lesses by if I re.

The old Indian Queen hotel, en East King street, just above Church, has at last been leveUsd with the ground aud the site, aud some adjoining ones, en which old-time buildings are standing, will seen be occupied with a large new market house, te be erected by the Easteru Market company. The Indian Queen was one of the eldest hotels iu Lancaster, having beeu built before the Revolution ary war. Frem an examination of the records iu the county offices it appears the let of ground ou which it steed was purchased from James Hamilton by Adam Simen Kuhn ou the first of September, 17G0. The stone building was probably mooted by Mr. Kuhu and occupied by him as resi dence ; as the records show that Simen Kuhn, ct al., sold the property including the " messuage," te Michael Lightner, Nev. 10, 1778. The records of the court show that Michael Lightner was a liccused tavcru keeper in 1777. He probably oc cupied the premises as a tenaut and bought tbe property the year following. On the 3d of January, 1785, the property was purchased from Michael Lightner by Gottlieb Ebcrman, watchmaker. At the time the deed was made Lightuer's wife was absent, whereupon Michael and Jehu Lightner bound themielves in the sum of 8400 te protect the purchaser and te se cure the wife's signature within six mouths. . Duriug Gottlieb Eberman's ownership the property fell iute the hands et the sheriff, Jehu Miller, who sold it at sheriffs sale te Michael Bartgis, giviug him a deed for it dated September 4, 1787. Bartgis was an old tavern keeper, and we find that he owned property en Seuth Queen street near Centre Square, where he kept tavern as early as 1773, aud for many years after wards. Ou pin chasing the Indian Queen he removed thither and kept tbe place as a tavern, uutil the time of his death. His wile Catherine succeeded him and kept the place uutil 1708. On the 17th of March of that year she offered for sale that noted tavern, and the ether large stene house adjoining, situated iu King street at the corueref Middle street, or the begin niug of Adamstown." A Halt century Age. Jehn Wein was the purchaser aud the property remained iu the possession of his family uutil December 15, 1834, wheu his administrators, Geerge Musser et al., sold it te Geerge Musser, who ou the 27th of the same month deeded it te Dr. Samuel Humes. Dr. numes owned the preperty at the time of his death, which, we believe, 00 00 curred in 1851. His executer, Dr. Carpenter, sold the property te Dr. Jehu Luvergoed and executed him a deed for it 011 the 1st of April, 18G4. O11 the 13th of October, 1805, Dr. Carpenter purchased the prop erty from Dr. Lavorgeod and it remained in his possession until a few weeks age, when it was sold te the Eastern Market company. The Iudiau Queen, probably built by Adam Simen Kuhu shortly after he pur chased the let from Hamilton, in 17G0, was a substautial stene structure two stories high, exclusive of a geed basement and a finished attic. There is a tradition that during a visit made by Gen. Wash ington te Lancaster long befere he was president of the United States, he stepped at tbe Iudiau Queen and occupied the most easterly of the. second-story front rooms. The Oldest luhaultaut's KecoMectlous. A reporter of the Intelligencer has taken occasion te interview a number of the eldest inhabitants, with a view of gettig seme facts concerning the charac ter of the men who kept the hotel. One old fellow says he can remember it for 70 years. He had heard it said that iu its early days it was a rather teny " house, but withiu his recollection it was rather a common sort of a place ; was a headquar tcrs for peeple who were a little " fast," who had plenty of meney and spent it liberally for wine, cards, dances, &c. The large room en the second fleer was a noted ball room, iu which almost all the fit young men et half a century age had at ene time or another daucud hocdewus, straight fours, aud Virginia reels te the music of a fiddle or two, in the hands of Lancaster's famous fiddlers. Nobody nuw living remembers any thing about Michael Lightner, Gottlieb Eber man, Michael Bartgis, or his wife, Cath arine ; but seme of the old citizens can remember Jehu and Peter Wien aud Jacob Ferney, who were owners or keepers of the hotel, and who were relatives of the late Cel. Ferney, fermerly editor of the Intelligencer, Press and Progress. It was subsequently kept by a man named Levetr, by Geergo Kitch, Samuel Ilarman, Geerge Greff, Jehn Fries, Geerge Pries and ethers. Geerge Pries, who new lives iu Conestoga Centre, was the last licensed landlord. IIe left the hotel about 1800. During the war the place was kept as a recruitiug rendezvous and barracks, aud subsequently was let te tenants, gen erally of the poorer class. Thore is new nothing left of it but a few piles of stene and lumber, but from its ashes will seen arise a beautiful and capacious market house, from whose stalls the rapidly increasing population of the east end may spend their meney for mero necessary and substautial, if less cxhiicra ting, luxuries than were went te be found at the bar of the Indian Queen. THE IS91KKALU OTINE. Lucky Lnncanter Men In Colerado. The Silterlen Democrat, published at Silverton, Colerado, contains the fellow, ing editorial iu reference te the Emerald miue, of which N. E. Slaymaker and G. D. Slaymaker, late of Lancaster county, are owners : " The Emerald mine, situated ou Anvil mountain, about oue-half mile from town, has lately come te the front as a payiDg property. We learn from 3Ir. Geerge Rebin, who together with his brother Rebert, is working the Emerald, as les sees , that the mine was discovered in 187G, by himself aud Chas. Cegan, and a third interest was sold te N. E. Slaymaker. Werk was begun and has since been prosecuted as steadily as cir cumstances would permit, Prier te the advent of the railroad, but little ere was found that would bear the expenBO en tailed by packing and wagon transporta tion. The workings consist of a crosscut tunnel of GO feet te cut the vein, a drift of 70 feet, and a shaft of some 30 feet. Steping out has been begun and the lessees have about 20 tens of ere ready for shipment. The slope contains at last 100 tens of ere which can be taken out at slight cxpense and is expected te yield a handsome profit en the entire cost of development. The vein averages twelve inches in width, and the ero runs from 75 te 100 ounces in silver and from eight te ten dollars in geld. We believe the Emerald will ultimately rank among the leading ere-producing mines of this section, and parties who contemplate mining investment in the vicinity of Silverton would de well te carefully ex amine tbe position the Emerald is justly entitled te held as ene of, the representa tive true fissure veins of the San Juan." We learn that the Messrs. Slaymaker new own the entire mine, having recently purchased the shares held by ether parties N. E. Slaymaker being the owner of two-fifths and G- D. Slaymaker three fifths of the mine. COLlltlUM KKWS. Fresn Uur.Jleguiar Cerirspnndent.
