The New Yerk Ifmcj and Sun a short time age had a discus sion about the veracity of Mr. Blaine's assertion in Congress, when he read the Mulligan letters, that he had produced every scrap and scrlmptien" t them. There were certain variations In the dates of these produced, with the dates of the letters as detailed in Mr.' Mulligan's memorandum of these that were In the package that Blaine fraudu lently received from him 5 which gave color te the belief that Blaine did net read all the letters he had stolen. The Hun, however, seemed te have the strength of the argument In maintain ing that he bad done ee. But in the recent publication of Fisher's letters te Blaine, Is found one el the letters that was noted in Mulligan's original memo, randum, but which Blaine declared was net in the package of letters that he seized. The letter new Is published from the letter pres3 copy in the posses sion of Phlier'a estate, and Us contents go te sustain the belief that Blaine de llberately suppressed it. Mr. Mulligan informs the Times that it was in the package that Blaine received. In 1871 Blaine leaned $23,000 te Jeslah Caldwell, who was associated with Fisher in the Little Reck & Fert Smith railroad enterprise. Blaine re ceived $50,000 of the railroad land grant bends as collateral security for the lean. In the suppressed letter of Oct. 24, '71, Fisher tells Blaine that Caldwell asserts that he paid for Blaine's account, and has his receipts, all but $2,500 of this lean. lie further tells him that he Blaine had since sold the $50,000 Little Reck & Fert Smith railroad land grant bends "at GO cents en the dollar, leaving you new In advance of funds even if Mr. Caldwell had paid you nothing." It appears, by Mr. Blaine's statement te the Heuse when reading the Mulligan letters, that en May 11, 1870, he recov ered this lean of $25,000, which be had claimed before the commissioners np pointed by the United States circuit court te settle claims against the Little Reck ifcFert Smith railroad. The cemmia- Bieners reported that he should receive $25,000 in Qrst mortgage bend of the ,.jead.;andJie get themes he thus admit ted in his statement in unn gresr-if nnz, 1870 : " I will Inform gentlemen for their benefit, especially theso who are se eager te search the records of the Circuit court at Little Reck, Ark., that it was this $25,000 which I recovered through the courts of Arkansas, I think it was the 1st of May this spring (1670.)" Se that according te the showing of Fisher's letter te Blaine of October 24 1871, which he could net find and did net read in the Heuse with the ether stolen letters en Junes, 1870, Mr. Blaine had received $22,500 cash en account of his $25,000 lean te Caldwell ; also $50,000 hi laud grant bends, en which lie realized $30.000 ; and In addition he received, by his own statement, $25,000 from the United States court for this leau. It does net appear that the proceeds of Hie land grant bends were ever accounted for by him te Caldwell or anyone elee ; se that the showing of this letter of Oc tober 24, 1871, would have beeii em barras3lng te Blaine. Mr. Mulligan siys be took it from him with the ethers, and the internal evidence sustains the ' belief thathehad it and suppressed It. There is nothing te contradict this supposition but Mr. Blaine's word which Is worthless. -A man who wilj steal will lie, unless he Is a very peculiar indivldnal indeed ; and a man who will get down en his knees te another, te beg him te suppress letters that he had writ ten.will suppress these letters himself, It he has te, when he gets theei in a session. It is only a question of the urgency of Mr. Blaine's need. If the contents of the Ojt. 24th letter made its reading in the face of Congress InexDts- dient, we de net suppose that many per sons will deny that Blaine would net pave read it aud would have denied th.it he had it ; just as he did de.

The example of Moresinl, senior, hew ever.dees net seem te be captivating cruel parents te its imitation. Mr. Sickles, the father of the general, has just had a daughter te elope with a Connecticut bounty jumper, and the young man has been taken te the parental arms, under the sage suggestion of the me'.her, that it could net be helped ; and under, per baps, the seductive influence of the fact that the young fellow was of presentable appearance, sound In wind and limb, and with only the suggonien of a Milesian brogue. Mr. Sickles, hav ng the cash and his son-in-law possess lng an endowment of youth and health, the conclusion has been reached by the parents that their daughter has found all the needed elements In their son-in. law, and they accept him with an inward thankfulness that their trouble in settling their child In matri mony is se speedily ever. Mr. sickles doubtless knew that he would have some sort of excitement beforeheget his daughter safely married, and probably has a suspicion that matrimony may net atop the oensatlens, for which his family is decidedly noted. As a phi. losepher, however, he accepts things a they come te him and does net add te his grey hairs by borrowing treu- DwireQine future.

Runaway daughters, however, never need any Inducement te return home. They nre only tee glad te get in there and be forgiven. It is remarkable that they never want any cash, and still mero uotable that the bride grooms uever want it. They always marry for love ; and though it is a curious thing that the girl's parents nre alwaja rich, this fact has never any connection at nil with the elopement ; the truth being doubtless that only rich men's daughters nre disobedient enough te elope.

A decukasi: in supply under the present method of cultivation and propagation of oysters has enlisted the attention of saientists in New Yerk, whose solution of the problem te arrest the two enemies of the bivalve, the drill and the star fish, re salted in the novel idea of incubating the eggs. This artificial proeess may b; an impertaut method of combating their de crease in quantity, and will be watched with profound interest by epicureans the weild ever. One of the most amusing donates of Mr. Blaine is that whieh claims that the property iu the Fisher loiters, rccently published, existed in fisher only as re ceiver of them ; and that the current of legal decisions is te the effect that the right of publication inheres only In the writer of the letters. Such might ba the case if the cause were en trial in a court.

In rebuttal Mr. Benner asserts that a hersa that has been clipped, aud is carefully hlaukcted after exercise, is mere comfort cemfort comfert ablo and healthy than if he had net been subjected te the operation. Mr. Bergh has dene rnuch geed iu his reform work, but he has ciusad much nesdlcss auuey. cnoe also.

Following close en the beels of the Mer eslul elopement, and bofero the exoito exeito exoite tnent attendant en that event had subsided came news Tuesday of a social mesalliance In New Uochelle, N. Y., bearing mueh the same features. Gonrge G. Sickles, the father of Gen eral Dan Sickles, is the second richest man in the village, bis wealth being estimated at evor $10,000,000. lie is 81 years of age and lives with his wife and threo daugh ters, Itema, aged 20 j Peri, aged 10, and Al a, aged 1'.', in n substantial-looking, frarue building en North street, about half a mile from tbe depot aud just out slde the corporation limits. Besides being her father's favorite, Itema grew up te be a handseme girl. With her sister she atteuded a bearding sehoel seme distance from her heuse, and the coachman was iu the habit of driving the two te the depet. At this tlnie Itema was about 14 years'eld, of remarkably well developed form and pretty. One day in school she made a remark te her schoolmates that shocked thorn ba ba yend moasure. They Informed the toaehor and, en the principal calling her up, Kama admitted having given utterance te the words. One evening the girl was discovered paying a visit surreptieusly te the coaeh. man, aud the latter was arrested and held for trial. When the case carae up the grand jury decided that no orime had been committed and the coaehman sued Sickles (or falsa imprisonment. Tbe case was Anally compromised. Since the foregoing events an exceed ingly strict watch has been kept ever Miss Rema. Fer the past two years she has kept oempany with a young man named Cornelius Burns. Thn engagement was broken off two months age in the follow ing manner : After visiting seme friends named Euslnger, Miss Sickles aoseptcd the invitation of ene of the sons, named Fred, te go out riding. During the drive the pair was seen by a lady friend, and, with the usual geed nature of a gossip, she informed Burns. The latter asked for his ring. Befere and during the four months pre ceding this eveut Many Ann Meade, who waB ompleyod as a washerwoman by the Sickles, has been lauding te tbe skies her brother William, who, she eaid, was a oeaohman, employed at Seuth Manohester, Conn. Ueina, after the quarrel with Mr. Burns, agreed te meet the Adenis who longed te bee her. Oa August 25 a telo tele gram was received from William, stating that he was coming, and at about 2 o'clock in the afternoon he came. This coaehman was net very pretty te leek upon. He was of medium height, with black hair and eyea, a red face and a thick brogue. His ignorance was etu pendeus. Compared te Rema, who is slight, with light brown hair and eyes and a sweet cast of countenanee, he was posi tively ugly. Befera another week had passed the ceupla had met again. Opinion seems te be divided as te whother Itema received anether visit from him ou Saturday, Sep tember C, but most of the villagers think she did. Oa the Monday morning fellow lng Itema accompanied her mother te the heuse of a friend in Brooklyn and ru ru mained there in the evening, while Mrs. Sieklrs returned te New Roehelle. Meade called at the Brooklyn heuse ea Tuesday, and then again en Wednesday. On the latter day the suspicions of the girl's friends were somewhat aroused, for Meade was 'Mreased up." The ceuple were follewod te tha corner, inhere a carriage was in waiting. Beth get in and were driven ever te New Yerk aud up Fifth avenue te St. Patrick's cathedral, where they were made man aud wife by Rav. Father Kelly. After the hemeward drive, Meade left his bride te go te Seuth Manchester. Oa Thursday Rema's marriage certifi cate was found by the lady at whose heuse ahe was visiting. Without informing the girl of her intention, she took the train te New Rechelle. and informed Mrs. Sickles of what had happened. On Friday morn ing the infuriated mother aud her friend returned te Brooklyn, and the love-siok maiden was hutried back te her home. Since that time she has been almost continually in hystrries through fear of the anger of her father wheu he laarned of her eseapade. Her mother angrily told her that she would sheet Meade when she saw him, and that she herself should be locked up. At last she oeoled down semewhat aud it was agreed that Meade should be introduced te Mr. Sickles as tbe girl's inieuuea, me iaat ei marriage balng kept from him. On Sunday last, at neon. Meada eime up and the plan was earried out. Old Mr. Sickles looked at the jeuug man aed said : " Yeung man, oemo into my library, 1 want te talk te you." Once inBlde he begau te shower ques tions en the disconcerted young man. Seemingly satisfied, he consulted with bis wife, who told him that Meade was worth $2,000. Then Sickles told the young man te call at hia office. The oeaohman did se, but SIckIe was net there when he came. On Monday night he again called at the nouse, but he did net stay there long, and what transpired Is net known. But for the publication in the papers Wednesday morning, which may ohange all the plan, it ii generally believed that it was Mrs. Sickles' intention te have a sham courtship go en for about six months, after which, the ceuple were te be again married with the addition this tira-j of the usual parents' blessing. rrablile llecoucllUtlen r.tTecltii. It is believed a reconciliation has been euected between the Moreeinl family and the runaway daughter Victeria and her husband, Ernest Sshelling, the coachman. Tuesday afternoon Mrs. Schelling and her husband, with Mrs. Nedon, a feraale de tective, who was instrumnntal in bringing the runaways back from Trey, went from New Yerk te Yonkers, and Mrs. Schelling, with the detcctive, stayed a leug tlnie in her father's house, while Sehelling waited in the neighborhood. Finally she came out, accompanied hv hrr tn iimth.r. O'tll'e and Giovanni, and the Rev. Father MeNamee, the priest of the parish. They met Sehelling nnd the two brothers cerdi. ally shook hands with him. With their sister and Sonelliog tney then went te the railroad station, where the brothers parted from the young oeuple in a most friendly manner. Schelling and his wife returned and took rooms In Fourteenth street. Mr. Moresinl was in New Yerk while all this was going en and when be returned te Yonkers he refused te say a word about his daughter. It is thought he has net yet come into the reconciliation.

The two had purchased adjoining lets and each had built a shop as well as a heuse ou his let. Iu the summer of the abeve year Engel had an opportunity He sell his property advantageously. The man who was te buy it had the boundaries of the let run out and found that Leidel's carpenter shop was built partially upon It. Leldcl refused te meve his let and the purchaser, net caring te wait for the dispute betweeu tbe German te be settled, purchased olse else whera.. Soeu afterward the earpenter shop was burned down and Leidel charged his father-iu-Iaw with haviug set it en tire. The quarrel was renewed with increased bitterness nnd ene night the bUckarultli shop was burneil te the ground. Beth Leidel and Engle consulted lawyern, but before reneursn was had te the courts a compromise was entered into between them and peace was restored. In July last a deg belenging te Eegel worried a pig belonging te the seu-in-law and tbe latter shot it. This ronewed the quarrel aud ene day in July last, the two men came te blows and the son-in law get the worst of the fight. The daughter sided with her father in the last treuble and her husband told her that he would sell his preperty and take her back te Germany, lie sold out last mouth, but his wile refused te go with him aud he went alone.

The bladder was packed full of something aud the neck was tied around au Ireu spike. On being opened the blad der was found te be tilled with Paris grceu. The piece of quilt was IdontiDed as being from one that bad belonged te Leidel.
