Five of the Chicago anarchists have
been indicted for murder.
Sixteen more New York Aldermen
are to be put on trial for bribery.
President Cleveland is too much
a man of affairs to be annoyed about
the talk of his getting married.
It is now reported that Wolf will
not be the prohibition candidate for
governor. Beaver is a temperance

New Yorkers are about to move on
Jake Sharp, the city railroad corrnp

is a problem.
Tee Philadelphia, Wilmington and
Baltimore Railroad company last
week, declared a semi-annual dividend
ol four per cent.
The Middle Pennsylvania railroad,
the eld S. & N. B., railroad, held an

"All aboard."
Steaxeb of the House, Carlisle
claims that he is not a Free Trader,
but that he is a Revenue Reformer,
but he does not state what the cliff
crence is between a Free Trader and
a Revenue Reformer.
It xkw looks as if Congress will
pass an act, to withdraw from for

ileges when those privileges have
been denied to American vessels in
the country to which euch foreign
vessels belong.
The -employes of Featherstone's
foundry in Chicago, recently gained
a concession of eight hours as a day's
work. Last Tuesday they again
struck, demanding that they should
be allowed to work ten hours a day.
It is doubtful if they know what they
do want.

Oki New York Alderman was re
moved from temptation by a woman.
He proposed marriage to a woman
with whom he was desperately in
love. She said she would marry him
provided that he resign Ihe position
of Alders an. He resigned, and is
out of the way of the briber. The
young woman knows how dangerous
it is to be ia the way of the "gift
bearing Greeks."
Eight hours & day is a good thing
but it is like poetry, the very fevest
number can live on it, as thousands
have found out in Chicago and othtvr
places where the eight hour a day
system has been adopted. Three
thousand men who but a short time
ago clamored that their employer,
Sidney A. Kent should reduce their
time to eight hours work, are now as
loudly asking for a return to the ten
hour system. Kent, who is a pork
packer, is one of the few men who
can run his business on eight hours
has not yet agreed to go back to the
ten hour system.
DraiNa the past week the fish
question between Canada and cer
tain of the New England Btates has
been intensified by the siezure of the
British fish schooner, "Sisters," in
Portland, Maine, harbor, for the vio
lation of the Custom House laws.
Captain Ellis of tha fishing schooner
should have had a manifest, or bill
Of goods when he came in Portland
harbor with his cargo of 20,000 mack
erel. He bad no manifest, and for
that reason was siezed upon by the
officers of the Custom House. He
was fined, under the law $500. He
declared that the be'nuoher will not
sell for $500. He says he did not
know that he was violating the fish
law.
The telephone man, Mr. Bell,
claims to have discovered that a fall
ing jet of water in a room reproduces
every word spoken and every sound
uttered within a given space, also
that a flame of gas burning in a room
reproduces every word spoken and
sound uttered within a given distance.
The world will marvel at his state
ment that falling water and burning
gas do accurately report every word
said in their presence. It is the
sound vibration that records itself
through the agency of water and
flame. Doubtless that is the way
Deity who is enthroned at the cen
ter of the Universe hears all that
takes place on the planets. Perhaps,
by and by, it will be discovered that
every thought produces a vibration
that reproduces itself just as the
words are reproduced by vibration
through falling water and flames of
fire. The next thing for Bell to do
is to find out whether a thought pro-
duces a vibration and if it does the
next thing to do is to find the sub
stance that will reproduce the vibra
tion into words so that the thoughts
can be recorded and read. After all
of these discoveries have been made,
people will begin to realize what a
finely attuned piece of machinery the
Universe is, how every word and
thought is sent out into space
throughout the universe by an in
fallible system of vibration. They
will begin to realize how it is that
Ood is all seeing and all hearing,
and they will understand how the
rich man in the far off regions of hell
could express the desire, and be un
derstood that Lazerus should be
6ent with a drop of water to cool his
tongue.
The Knights of Labor held their
General Assembly at Cleveland, Ohio,
last week. Every thing was done in
secret, and all proceedings that came
to the press had to pass through the
hands of a committee of five Knights
of Labor. So that readers of the
proceedings of the convention of
Knights of Labor, will understand
that they are not getting an account
of the doings of the Kuights from
the pens of editors and reporters for
newspapers, but from the Knights
themselves. That is the way King
William, of Prussia, and other kings
do when they meet, they give what
they please of their proceedings, and
the balance they do not allow to see
the light of day.
The President and Social Soienoe.
This Wednesday, President Cleve
land and Miss Folsom will be mar
ried in the White House, in the pres
ence of a few of the relatives of the
respective families. This marriage is
destined to become a focal point in
the history of the Social Science of
the Republic A thousand years af
ter this, students will turn to it to
learn, if possible, something of the
social habits and family relationship
of the people of this day and genera
tion, just as the student of to-day
stops to study the same subject of
people of thousands of years ago
from the lives of David and Solomon.
Taking the lives of David and Solo
mon as they are recorded in the sa
cred volume, the student finds him
self asking, "were the Jews of those
days a Polygamous people t So stu
dents of a thousand years after this
will read of a President of the Amer
ican Republic having occupied a pe
culiar relationship in family matters,
having been married, while at the
same time there lived a woman who
bore him a son, bat neither mother
or son shared with him the hocors
and wealth of his position as the
chief ruler of the nation because their
relationship to each other was irreg
ular and outside of the bonds of wed
lock. A thousand years after this,
students of history will be puzzled
to know whether the habits of Presi
dent Cleveland were the commonly
recognized habits among the people
over which he ruled, just as students
of to-day are puzzled to know wheth
er Abraham and Jacob in their inter
course with the fair sex represented
the commonly recognized or regular
relationship of man and woman to
each other in those days. We all
wonder at the habits of the people
of the past, and wonder whether the
people to come will wonder at our
habits dm represented in the life of
President Cleveland, and wonder
whether we all will be understood,
but amidst all the wondering let us
not forget to congratulate President
Cleveland and Mrs. Cleveland and
wish them happiness in the relation
ship of man and wife.

Evolution of Man.
DECISION Of THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF
THE PRESBTTKKIAN CHURCH SOUTH.
Augusta, Ga May 26. To-day's
session of the General Assembly of
the Presbyterian Church South was
devoted to the discussion of the ques
tion of evolution. The majority re
port was adopted by an overwhelm
ing vote 137 to 31 To the several
overtures on the subject of the evo
lution of man, sent up by the presby
teries, the General Assembly returns
answer as follows: The Church re
mains at this time sincerely convinc
ed that the Scriptures as truly and
authoritatively expounded in our
"Confession of 1 aith and catechism
teach that Adam and Eve were creat
ed, body and soul, by acts of Almigh
ty power, thereby preserving perfect
race unity ; that Adam's body was
directly fashioned by Almighty God,
without any natural animal parent
age of any kind, out of matter pre
viously created of nothing ; and that
any doctrine at variance therewith is
dangeious error, inasmuch as, by
methods of interpreting Scripture
which it must demand, and in the
consequences which by fair implica
tion it will involve, it will lead to a
denial of doctrines fundamental to
the faith.

per yesterday read :

EDWIN HAMILTON.
The advertisement was read bv a
Times reporter, who went to look at
the contents of the "gentlemen s
"private stable."
THE ENTIRE DRIVING OUTFIT.
The house at 1518 Arch street is a
boarding house. There is no sign
outside to 6how the public that it is
a boarding house, but one of the
boarders told the reporter yesterday
morning that he had lived there a
good while and knew all of the board
ers. The young man said that he
was positive that Edwin Hauilton
did not live in the bouse, but tae col
ored man who came to the door said,
with his face wreathed in smiles:
"Oh, yes, sir, Mr. Hamilton lives
bera You came to 6ee about the
horses, didn't you ? Well, they're in
the stable, right in the rear of the
house. You needn't walk way around
the block. Just come through the
house and I'll show you the stable."
The stable is on Cuthbert street.
across the street from the back yard
of the boarding house. A coloied
man was bustling about doing noth
ing. A black horse and a pony were
in the stalls in the rear of the carri
age house. Both animals were blank
eted. The "entire driving outfit"
was just as advertised. A snowy lin
en lap-robe with an embroidered
horse's head was hanging in a con
spicuous place. The alleged coach
mas was in attendance and said the
gentleman had just stepped out and
would be back in a minute. While he
was saying this a tall good-looking
woman of twenty-eight entered the
stable.
THE W0MAK OOSTKDERATE.
The woman wore a gray dress of
light homespun cloth, tightly fitting
bodice and a turban to match. She
carried a cute little market basket
filled with some dainties from mar
ket She wore undressed kid mous-
quetaire gloves and spoke with the
accent of a lxraton girl.
"Did that lady who was here yes
terday buy the horse T" she asked the
coachman.
"No, miss ; she didn't"
"Why, how is that?"
"I dunno, miss."
"Well, the gentleman promised to
let me know if that lady didn t buy
the horse. Let me see the horse.
The horse was taken out of tho
stall and the reporter watched the
woman as she sat down her little mar
ket basket and lifted the horse's left
forefoot, picked the straw out of his
hoof with her gloved fingers, ran her
hand down his back to see if he had
any sores, said "Whoa, Beauty," and
then began talking to the colored man
again.
"Why is the gentleman going to
sell his horses T
"Deed I dunno, miss."
"Hew lane has he had this
horse!"
"'Bout three years."
"Well, I want a horse for the sad
die. Will this horse go well in the
saddle ?
"Yes, miss, 'deed he will."
"Afraid of the steam cars T"
"No'n 'deed be ain't"
"Well, where is the man t"
"Why, he just steeped out a min
nte ; 1 11 go and hunt him."
"How much does he want for that
poDy T" asked the reporter.
The well-bred woman looked the
reporter over from his boots to his
bat
"I dunno, sir ; 111 fetch the gentle
man right away," and the bogus
coachman went out on to Cuthbert
street and around to Fifteenth aud
Filbert streets, to Dougherty's sa
loon, where he found Mr. Edwin
Hamilton.
THE BEPOJtTia "GYPPED."
The woman stood by the black
horse's stall, admiring the animal
The reporter thought she was going
to buy the horse, which has been doc
tored up for the past two weeks, and,
thinking she didn't know that she
was in a "gyps" stable, the reporter
said:
"I beg pardon, but don't buy that
horse. This is a 'gyp's' stable. They
will swindle you. This man the col
ored man has gone after is a bogus
gentleman. This horse was bought at
the bazaar, at auction.
The woman never lost her presence
of mind for an instant. She smiled
faintly and said :
Oh I you must be mistaken. Oh!
I'm sure you're mistaken! I have
known this horse for the past three
years. Oh I I'm sure you're mistak
en." The reporter remembered having
heard her ask the colored man how
long the gentleman had the horse and
that the colored man had said three
years, it was better to leave before
the gentleman and the coachman re
turned. The reporter left He met
the gentleman near the corner of
Fifteenth and Cuthbert streets. Mr.
Hamilton, as he calls himself, is a
handsome man, six feet in height and
weighs about two hundred pounds.
He was well dressed.
"I was looking at that pony," said
the reporter ; "how much do you want
for him 7 I see by the advertisement
that he has been driven by the ladies
of the family."
"Ah, yes, said Mr. Hamilton. "I
haven't fixed any price. Two years
ago I paid $200 for the pony. But I
tell you what 111 do. I will let you
have him for $135, cash, and give you
a veterinary 's certificate."
The reporter didn t want to go ov
er $100 and Mr. Hamilton dismissed
the subject with a wave of his hand.
It was learned afterward that the wo
man was a confederate. Whenever
anybody entered the stable (she was
close at hand.
whO tfcwM Hamilton ra.
Edwin Hamilton is in reality E. H.
Thomas, a well-known "gyp" and a
partner of Frank Dickson, a brother
of Wash Dickson, prince of the
"gyps." Mr. Hamilton's full name is
Edwin Hamilton Thomas. He goes
by the names of Edwin Hamilton,
Hamilton Thomas and E. H. Thom
as. He does not live at 1518 Arch
street, but resides at 258 North Elev
enth street, and in the directory he is
known as Edward Thomas, a sales
man. The pony he said he paid $200
for two years ago was sent from
Smyrno, Del, two weeks ago. Thom
as looks like a man who might have
been left a lot of money or who had
been a successful business man. He
isn't forty and is a good talker and
dresses in good taste, has a pleasant
voice and uses nice language. The
boldness of the advertisement in us
ing the addresB of boarding house
1518 Arch street shows that he un
derstands his business. The colored
waiter at the boarding house has made
his acquaintance and knows how to
use the house as a thoroughfare to
the "private stable," which isn't on
the premises. Using the Arch street
address gives tone to the advertise
ment If the Cuthbert street address
were given instead there would be less
likelihood of persons answering the

Letter From Memphis.
Eoitob or Sibtiscl akd Republic :
Ton are apparently surprised that his "ex
cellency," Jefferson Davis, should have
been granted such a magnificent triumph,
in connection with tho recent ceremonies
at Montgomery and Atlanta, dedicating
those monuments. True, he was not a con
queror like the Soman Pompey, who, re
turning "from his fame, fresh and gory,"
bad but to await the decree of the Senate,
opening the streets of the city for the vic
tor's procession, in which at bis chariot
wheel, bo might lead "many captlres
brought to Rome." But onr modem hero
was acting- well his part. There are sout h-
ern historical societies whoso aim will not
be accomplished until the slave-holders' re
bellion shall hare been rescued from a de
served ignominy. Tho statue of "Old Hick
ory." Calhoun's aril genius, is not more
conspicuous in the square at New Orleans
than that of Robert E. Lee. And do they
not agree (tho Southern historians) in ae-
nying that the perpetuation of alavery was
the object ol Confederacy, and the solo
eanaa of the war T Thar surely do. Jt is
not strange that they were onco devoted to
slavery as an institution? Their money
waa in it, and a largo part of their religion
also. The Federal constitution and laws
sheltered it. They claimed their rights.
But when the war, as a Providential instru
ment, has destroyed slavery, wo, tho Amer
ican people, have been learning more an d
more to look back with surpriso. If not
shame, upon those times when both races
were in bondage by tha accursed institution,
and while more and more clearly tho logio
of events is demostrating the truth of Liu-
coln'a well known aphorism, the nation
cannot exist half slave and half free." In
view of these things I say it is strange that
the Lost Causa should bo dressed up in hoi
iday attire and brought out for so wonder
ful an airing. This fact, however, only In
troduces another. There are many of the
southern doodIo who are in that double-
minded condition in which they fain would
see progress, bat they hare not learned any
thing from the past. The cause of the South
Las against the North, (i. e., the loyal part of
tho North,) they devoutly believe in, pray
ed for, and many died in their faith.
Their property in slaves and the full
right to serve every desire within their pow
er, by and with those slaves, was sacred
heritage, and no one can fully understand
this feeling, perhsps nntil be has a chance
to hear the story from one of these men,
who were in the prime of life when South
Carolina took down tha nation'a flag from
Fort Sumpter. Seceasion was a costly ex
periment and the terrible war was a school
of flery discipline for this haughty people,
and tho trouble now, is evidently a failure
to distinguish between the constitutions!
right which they bad to slave property,
and as tbey believe, to secede from the
Union, and on the other band the moral
wrong of slavery as a crime egaiast civil
liberty and against the very spirit of the
ttospel ol Chnat. Tbey will not admit that
(act to-day. Tbey excuse and Justify si-
cession and the war of the rebellion on the
ground that thry were sincere in their con
victions. We are confidently assured that
in time to cume the heroes of the Confeder
ate armies will t held in honor as true I
tnots, worthy of a Lsiue and a place assong
the noblest ol Americans. Last Satiirdev,
the President of the Southern H'storwal
Society, In Memphis, said at the decora
tion of soldiers gravesi "From personal
knowledge and information, I do not believe
that there la a corporal's guard ol Federal
soUiieni, who would not desire that the
bones ol every Confederate shook! bo plac
ed in the National Cemeteries and there car

Republic's money." in strong contrast

present at tba ceremonies in Elmwood Cam-

street cars, affirms tbst there were not more
than two hundred persons present to take

and the poem. Contribntloo boxes Were
placed at each entrance to the cemetery to
collect money fur the purpose ol caring for
tba graves of toe soldiers, but only two men
were seen to put In money and those were
employes of the cemetery. This latter part
may simply mean that the box represents an
unpopular plan for raising funds. The Na
tional Cemetery, for tbls section, lies east
seven or eight miles from Memphis, on the
Lonlsvllle railway. The grounds are beau

In their sbame, by refusing to admit that

the choice, tbey would do the same aa be

separation of families, its enforced ignor

ernment and finally the savage warfare for
Its perpetuity, all these aie still to bo held
in honor with the peculiar institution. Why

like a whipped boy, when its political Crimea

tnna is laboring with zeal to gain a place of

can in truth be written. "But wo must
strive lor peace between tho North and
Sontb I" i es, peace ia good, but trntb is
better, oven though truth is to be secured
at tha expense of peace. The northern man
who gushes over a Confederate soldier aa
being worthy of honor and credit for tbe part
he acted, aa a soldier, must be a weak sen
timentalist whose sense of right anl wrong
is feeble and small. The South s greatest
enemy was brr devotion to alavery section

She ia narrow and weak in policy. Her pop
ulation has a large per centage of illiteracy,

that tbe general condition of the people ia

There is a general desire that northern men
should come south and use their capital
