ANOTHEtt SHOT AT THE MONOPOLY
The "Yr garlot' of the Asso:iated Pros;
COMMENTS OF A VICTIM
Bogus and Nonsensical Despatches
As the Philadelphia Press this morning has
• undertaken to defend the Associated Press
monopoly, we will give to-day an editorial
from that paper, in which a characteristic se
ries of despatches is printed and complained
of. If anything more ridiculous than these
contradictory telegrams were ever put inthie,
we should be glad to hear of it.
"Cable lrawarles."
[From the Philadelphia Press, Oct. 20th, 1463.1
*,** * * *
As tW source of news is removed from the
place of publication the difficulty of deciding
upon its weight is increased. Thus it is that
telegraph news by ocean cable is geaerally re
ceived with but little inquiry, because the
presumption ls that its merits would be well
weighed before starting, and nothing that was
not profoundly important there, or that was
not !bought to he so here, would be sent. But
the history of ocean telegraphy, when even
loosely Btuthed, dispels any such presumption.
With a great deal of legitimate telegraphic
matter—matter that is really international—is
intermingled much that rises 720 higher than stuff
We might instance the • recent story 'of the
mutiny on board an American ship, and
the hanging of ever so many of the partici
pants, a fabrication, 28 it turned out to be, of
a midshipman, who was doubtless anxious to
test the gullibility of a French agent. This
story was bandied about by the wires until it
became noisome, and what, with the reports
and contratlietions,was the subject of a week's
telegraphing over a line nearly four thousand
miles long.
lint to make such cases of electric indiscre
tion as ridiculous as possible we cannot for,
bear reproducing the almost nightly episodes
of an ocean wire for nearly a month back.
First came a plausible story that might have
interested a. township. It might have been
true or might not :
" PAIIIS, Sept 21.—The bodies of six TOUT
tiered persons, a woman and live children,
bate been found iu a field near Paris. The
police have discovered no trace of the assas
sins."
Now, regarding it an well told and true, the
interest of, America iu this phase of French
morals might be regarded w satisfied; but 'upon
the discovery of a few startling details their
transmission might have. been pardonable.
Vire have them then;
PARIS, September 22, Evening.—Evidence
has been discovered which leads to the belief
that the woman and five children : who were
foinal , deadthis'iveek were murdered by the
husband and eldest son, "
, Now any reasonable being would have sup
posed that the perpetrator's, being known,
ould be speedily arrested and tried, and, per
haps, ireprisoned or ling. without caring to
be troubled about all the intermediate steps.
But, after the interval of a day or two, the
world is astounded with the information con
tained in the following
" September 24.—The father and son
suiipostel to have assassinated a woman and
her live chi Idrenov hose bodies were found this
week ipa held near Paris, have been arrested
at Havre."
01.r.erre, an air of supposition creeps into
the affair, as If to pave the way for the next .
" PAnis, Sept. 24.—The report that the husband
and eldest milt of the woman recently murdered,
with her children, had been arrested at Halve, was
incorrect. A man named Turpinan„ an alleged
accomplice, was,..traced.to Ora-place. endears
thred. Additional evidence has come to light
which leads to the belief that the father and
son are innocent, and may possibly have been
murdered by the same parties who killed the
mother!'
here the suspicion grows suspicious, and
the parties change. Atter all the labor thus
far expended by the police, and by that
enterprising agent„" this p.naouncement
must prove gratifying:
" Loxnws, Sept. 2 t.—The mystery of the re
cent family murder approaches a solution.
The bodies of the father and eldest son have
been diScovered near the spot where the mo
ther and children were found."
Now the veil lifts from the singular affair,
and we begin to catch glimpses of a hoax.
ahe agent has been running "a corner" in
telegraphy, just to pass away idle time, you
know. His amusement was of course con
ducted with due regard for the pockets of the
company. The curtain up, welled
" PAnis, Sept. 28.—The recent murder of an
entire family still remains a mystery.' The
story published yesterday, that the body of
the lather had also' beeu found, was not true."
Perhaps there might . have been, after all,
some little foundation fertile story of so many
cables length, and the intelligent agent, stn
ting his loins d'ors, makes haste to take ad
vantage of it, thus:
"Innis, Sept. 29,—Two acennplices in the
recent murder of, the Troppmanit family have
beet arrested."
Then' a qualm of conscience and another
speculative :fever conies over him, and he
rushes into a correction : ,
" Oct.l.—The report. that the body
of the father of the murdered family had been
found proves false."
The patience of every reader has by this
lime been exhausted, but happy in the know
ledge that gold conies of murders and cables,
the agent ventures again, and this time, either
from lapse of time or befuddlement of im
agination, he gets two stories mixed :
" PARIS, Oct. is again reported that
the corpse of the father of the murdered
Kinek family has been discovered in Alsace."
And then. to make the agony of his im
pertinent Untruthfulness as unendurable as
possible, he repeats :
" PAnts, Oct. 13.—1 t is now said that the
story of the finding of the body of Mr: Muck,
in Alsace, is false."
if it be at offence to deny murdered people
Christian burial, this agent surely merits a
drawing and quartering, or if there ever were
such a family, and it murdered, then their
troubled Shades should not fail to hold nightly
levees in the office of that irrepressible agent.
The step to his madness must be a slight one,
at, any rate, and to have him danced into it by
retributive spirits would be the mildest of
penalties for his folly.,
The clove quotations , are .but- a sample, of'; , the
many which abuse the ocean wires. After all is
over, and time has been given 40;; perceive
their littleness it is a matter of astonishmentthat any individual who assumes charge of so
important a medium of intelligence as an in
ternational cable, can be guilty of deliberate de,
ception, or can so mistake the mission of the
world's greatest invention.
We leave the above extract, and those that
have preceded it, to the judgment of an inteM
gent public. They require no special, comment
from us. .A. perusal of them will satisfy the
unprejudiced reader that thS eulogies ;of the
AFsociated Press indulged in by the paper
quoted above at the present time, are insin
cere and dishonest. •

A Fact Not Howe to the Associatcd
The Cork :Ireland) Examiner, of March 18,
says:
The screw steamer Mary came into collision
with the mairstearnerNormanby, from South

morning. The Normanby sustained some in

The Mary stood by for two flours, but noth
ing more was seen of the Normantty.
The New York Associated Press has never
had a word of the above news, and its agent
in New York has denied that the account was
true that was furnished by the American
Press Association, and printed in the Buz,-
LaTIN of March 18th. That account, which
is fully confirmed by the above extract from
the Irish paper, was at follows :
LONDON", March 18, 2 P. M.—A collision
between the mail steamer Nortnanby and
the steamer Mary, a Danube packet, occurred
this morning in the channel of• the Gdernsey
coast.
The Normanby was stink almost instanta

crew and twenty passengers, thirty-one per
bone in all, who were drowned. The Nary
was not seriously damaged.

Within one month three well-known per
sons have mysteriously disappeared from the
-ity of Poughkeepsie, and, strange - to say, In
each instance neither, to all appearances,
had
?eft the ph;ce. The first was James Jay Cox.
When last seen he was,, on his way
to the depot to take passage 'on
the milk train, due at Poughkeepsie
at t P. AL, intending to go to New Ham
burg. He bad on his persost_about one thou
sand dollars in greenbacks.. He was just too
late to catch the train, when he
loft the depot, and has not been seen
, ince.', At the time of his disappearance he
was slightly inebriated. He was 33 years of
age, was about live feet ten inches in height, 1
and wore red whiskera and-, red moustache ; '
•:-1:00 reward has been offered for any informa
don concerning his whereabouts. Bis brother
tirially believes: that he never :left town,'hut
was murdered- and his, body secreted. The
next person to disappear was Abraham Stock
holm. Be left his home in Crandell street on
Friday evening, March 18. Throughout that
day he seemed to. feel downhearted,and was
fearful that his businesswould , be dull. After
having a *settlenient with his euiployer he
went to his nonce and partook of supper at
the family table. After tea be concluded :!he
would take a walk out, which he did, and
never returned. It is probable that he com
mitted suicide, but, strange- to say, he was
seen by no one after leaving
.his own door
way. Be was an old citizen, Well-known and
rerpected. He bad but little inetileyWith him.
Yesterday Poughkeepsie was again excited
over athird mysterious disappearance. About
a week ago a man twenty-three years of age,
named Mathew Colwell, residing on the
Dutchess turnpike, about three or , four miles
from the above city, came to town with a load
of eggs which he sold for about ' S5O. Just
about dusk he visited the Tremont House,near
the railroad depot, and that was the last seen
of him. It was thought by his fanilly that he
.
might have come to New York ! ' but from con,
respondence with friends here-it seems he did
not. He has a wile who is 'nearly 'distracted
over his absenee. Singular" to' relate, these
disappearanees do not in. the least trouble the
Poughkeepsie authorities, as no steps . of an
official character have been taken to aid in
Solving the mystery. . • ,

Death of fillgtound 11. norstniono.
A cable telegram from Rome, received in
this city, last evening, brings the sad news of
the death of Mr. Sigmund H.Rorstmann. Less
than a week ago, we announced the death - of
Mr. Horstmann's daughter, stricken down by
the malarious fever now racing with fatal
virulence in atome. The same disease pros
trated other members of Mr. Horstmarin's
fly, ae it] has attacked a large p - fop(i= ,
orate foreigners visiting Rome this semon.
rn. Etorstmann's health was already . in
by revious disease, and the worst fears of hie count esi friends in this cityhave been
ily realized.
Sigmund H. Horstmsain was widely known
as one of the heads of the old and nowfamous
house of Wm. J. Horstmann & Sons, founded
in 1815, by the father of the deceased. As one
of our most enterprising, *night and public
spirited merchants, as a liberal and loyal citi
zen, as a true, genial and hospitable friend, as
a man of irreproachable personal character,
Siginund H. Eforstmann had surrounded him
self with a circle of friends who will mourn
his, loss with sincere grief, • and with the
deepest sympathy for the double bereavement
that has thus fallen -so suddenly upon his
family. The brief , telegram tells the whole
story of Sigmund Horsimann's last hours as .
clearly as the minutest narrative could have
done : " Died in full faith, without a struggle,
perfectly conscious."
To the Editor of the Philadelphia Epening
: I beg'to suggest that a subscription
be opened in Great Britain, and in the princi
pal cities of the States, to which the British
people may contribute. The said fund to be
devoted towards the relief of the widows,
orphans and others 'who were left deStitute
by the loss of that gallant band who went
down in the' Oneida.
It is a reproach to the human race that a
man should be so devoid of feeling for his
fellow-creatnres. But the circumstance must
be more severely felt by all who, with myself,
are of the same country as ilaptain Eyre.
There is one thought : if this sin of omission
is not visited with the punishment it has de
served, the author has earned the condfUnna-:
tion of all men, and must suffer that severe
retribution which follows the perpetration of
a crime.
The calamity is irreparable; but we might,
in some degree, mitigate the suffering and
sorrow occasioned by the melancholy disaster.

penates and retirement from the, profession on

New York opera will probably take a funny
torn next season ; that which was English be
coming Italian, and that which was Italian
beComing English. The success of the Pa
repa-llosa Company in the performance of
English opera has tired the bosom of Max
Maretzel. to sail to Europe in quest of a
troupe who shall be able to make his Operatic
stage more successful than it has lately been.
Be has been so unfortunate as to be obliged
to leave the country indebted to the extent of
$3,1)00 to Miss Kellogg, and $1,500 to Madame
_Lumley, the latter of whom has sued him
with no very clear prospect of reaping a gol
den reward therefor.
So Maretzek is to give English opera, and
the l'atepa Company (F'arepit herself beim , '
ambitious to shine in parts for which If
nature she is unsuited, being essentially a ha -
ladist) will probably turn about and give
Italian opera. It is said that in this season
her company has cleared about $lOO,OOO, which
shows that music is not altogether imappree

morreepondenee of the Philadelphia Evening. Bu
Ross, Italy, March 11, 1870.--A new biog
raphy of Liszt has just appeared, translated
from the German. But we in our day cast
hardly have a true life of this remarkable man.
We may have exact dates as to his birth; When
he composed this or that piece ; but the events
of his singular and romantic career can hardly
be told while he is alive, and he looks as vig
orous as if he might live some 'thirty years
more. The private life of an artist who had
royal princesses for the mothers of his chit
dren could hardly have a correct account of it
written during his lifetime. What a career
he has had! His reputation began when he
was only fourteen. Precocity of genius is
more common among musicians than among
literary or scientific men. There are excep
tiims-Pascal, for example, who, at fourteen,
" invented mathematics," as his father ex
pressed it, and arrived at the 32d proposition
of the first book of Euclid without aver
having seen Euclid, just as Mozart composed
a symphony in his boyhood. '
Liszt's success was so great in German.
when he was only fourteen, that Adam Liszt,
his father,like the elder Mozarktook his won
derful son to Paris. As they had a powerful
letter from Prince Metternich to Cherublisl,-
they counted much upon his protection.
Cherubini was then the Director of the Frencle
Musical Conservatory, which he, (Oherabirul)
had just established in Paris rinder the patron
age of Louis XVIII., and had made it the
leaning establishment in Enron:).
Strangely enough, Cherubini received the
father and son very coldly. 'Adam Liszt had
the boy subjected to , a rigorous examination
before Cherubini,Paer,and all thegreat artists
in Paris. It was not only satisfactory, but the
audience expressed surprise and admiration.
Notwithstanding, Cherubini refused to admit
young Liszt into the Conservatory, on the
ground that he was a foreigner I Cherubint
himself was an Italian. The biographer thinks
the reason of this strange coldness was jest,-
ousy. This could hardly have been the cause.
There roust have been something in the man
ner of the boy which made him antipathetic
to Cherubini. The biographer says : " Preco-
cious talents always give offence to talents on
the decline." Precocious talents are, apt to
make children very disagreeable and pre
sumptuous, There is always a cousciousnees
of superiority about a prodigy which, is offetto ,
sive and rouses one's antagonism. I fancy this
was the reason of Cherubini's indifference.
Cherubini ought, however, to belie been more
forbearing, for he had memories of mortifies
tions which troubled his youth. The first Na
poleon treated him disdainfully. But in re
senting unconsciously his own wrongs on is
successors, lie only followed out the instinct,
of the old Adam which is in all of us, and.
which Sheridan hit ofd' so capitally iie Thz
Rivals.
" Sir Anthony rates master," cried the ser
vant, "master abuses me—l'll go and kick
BoetA."
But time makes amends for all wrongs, if
we could only wait patiently. Louis XVIII.
rewarded Cherubini for all he had suffered;
and the very Conservatory whose doors were
closed on Liszt so insultingly in his youth is
only too happy to accept any "applicant, on•
any terms, rigorous as are its rules, at a Sink
ple request from Liszt;-this I know to be a
positive fact. Liszt has less of this vindictive
diess of matured reputation than most distin
guished men; he dOes not resent the wrongs of
youth on younger, artists. Never was
there a
kinder man than Liszt to unacknowledged' and
aspiring talent, in, man or woman. So kind is
he, that he is apt to be ; deceived, and to ac
cept the false for thezeal in'his desire to give
encouragement. • ,
Paer and. Reicha, who wore present at the
examination of young Liszt, interested them
selves in his, affairs, and not, only gave him
good counsel but efficient service. The..gifteLL
boy was soon sought out - "hest sooiete
of Paris. Indeed, like Mrs. Jarley, Lisztinte
always been the , pet of the "nobility,and
gentry,' and royalty has done more thauJimilet
on him. , li.e: was presented to" King
xy4ll, and to the royal family. The Duke of
Orleaus,:Lonis Philippe,. took him under biar
especial proteetien.
We have all heard cif sonte,napkterious evens
which produced a, sad effect on Liszt in his
youth, Be,hada dangerous illness; indeethids
death was, reported throughout Paris. The
biographer says it was au unfortunate love
allairoyhich nearly tnined him, as a similar
one weinow know hastened Keats's death. But
Liszt NM , made
,of stronger stuff than the
young gnglisn poet who ,said so sadly,
very thing which I want to Jive most for will
be thegreat occasion of my death." Love,wbioh
was 'titudi a tragedy to Liszt's youth, became
the . gay comedy of his manhood, and, like
Goethe, he bids fair to play the gay Lothario
into his old age. The biographer does not
give the name of the cause of Liszt's tender
trouble,,the " soft impeaclnent," nor does ho
give the reasons for the separation. The affair
is wound up tantalizingly with these common-,
place words :—"lnsurmountable obstacles op
posed their happiness." Liszt's strange con
duct, after his recovery, is well known. 11,0
tied from the s world, gave up his music en
tirely,, and ocaupied himself iu works of
clarity and pious reading. Like the little girl
in FUlidi, be found his doll stuffed with brim
