Guitesu, who has sued the New Yotk Herald for libel, 8ays a p: h in THE TRIBUNE relative to the suit left the impression that he always charged one-half on such collec- tions. No sensible man would have derived any such impression from the paragraph, but.to sat- isfy Mr. G.’s yearning for a free notice, the American people are informed that he charges Trom 10 to 50 per cent, according to amount col- lected and trouble of collecting.

The Newe Kreie Presse of yesterday says that the plaintiff has nothing aue him ex- cept o montl’s rent due from_theold Fre Presse, which was sold out at Sheriff’s sale in order to satisfy some claims against it by Mr. Hinckley. The German-American Publishing Company, the paper says, never used the build— ing, and naturally he lias no cluims against it. According to the Freie Presse this bill is merely an attack to injure the credit of -the paper. THE COAL TRADB. The Chicazo Coal Exchange had a meeting terday afternoon in their rooms on the northwest corner of LaSalle and Washington strects, President Waldron presiding. Minutes of the previous meeting were read and approved. when it was announced that the object of the gathering was the discussion of the practicability -of raising tke price of Brier Hill aud Erie bituminous coals. The Chair said that he un- derstood that the Wilmington coal-deslers and those of the Indiana block coal were desirous of raising the price avout 30 cents per ton. Several opinions were expressed to the end that, if the price of one varicty was raised, the prices of all should be proportionate- 1y increased. ~ There - being not enough’ members present to warrant any action, the mceting adjourned. The Secretary, Maj. Kirkland, presented the following figures show- ing the lake receipts of coal since May 1, 1876, and comparative figures: From May 1 to Oct. 14, 1876, 240,642 tons of anthracite and 231,420 tons of bituminous; during the same time in 1875 the receipts were 401,081 anmthracite and 184,673 bituminous; for the same period in 1574 the recelgls were 324,648 tons of anthracite and 204,419 of bituminous.

An ugly rumor was in circulation yesterday morning to the effect that Frank Sturges & Co., ihe well-known dealers in metals, had failed. The rumor received very little ercdenco from the fact that the house has always stood well, and from the other fact, that its head is known to ppsscss a considerable amount of property of various kinds easily convertible into cash. A TRIBONE reporter, however, inspired with a desire to get at the bottom facts, started ott on his mission of inquiry, and succeeded in finding Mr. Sturges in his office on Lake strect. Introduciug himself, the reporter said: *1 have heard that you have failed to-day. Is that true?”? «1 baven’t anything to say,” was the short, but pleasant enough, response. “Toe TRIDUNE and tbe public would like to Lnow whst there is in this rumor,” urged the reporter. ¢ You must excuse me,” was the resolute re- ply, “I don’t wish to say anything to-day.” The reporter, after further izeflectual at- tempts, gave it up, and took a walk around among the iron-men. ‘William Blair & Co., on Lake street, had heard of the ramor, bat did not think the trouble amounted to anything more than a temporary suspension. They considered that the firm would ask an cxtension 2nd go on. They had anidea that the house was troubled with its country collections, which all the iron firms Northamp- Hill, 5. A, Lere ~have found to very slow of late. But they scouted the idea that 6t was A clear case of failure, aud thought everything would be all rizhtin a few days, us Mr. Sturges had 2 great deal of property which could be converted into ready mones. S. D. Kimtark had not heard the rumor, and had nothing to say anyway. John V. Ayer & Sons hud vot heard it, cither, and were considerably surpriced. Afterthe first surprise, they said ~ they didn’t be- lieve it. The house lad an estab- lished reputation, and if there was any trouble at all; it would be only temporary. As soun as collections got better, everything wouid be all right. The idea of certain, irreme- diable faiiure was something to be dismissed at once as incorrect. The rcporter next called upon Mr. Georze Stucges, President of the Northwestern N: tioual Bauk, and was rewarded by something more_like positive information. The reporter stated that Lie had cailed on his brother, Frank, who had declined to say anything, and he bad thercfore sought him, ta ascertain what truth here was in the report. *-Those arc the facts.” replied Mr. Sturges. 4 When did this occur?” asked the questioner. “ Frank suspended payments three or four days ago.” < Do you know the reasons for the failure?” “Jt’s'thc old_fire trouble. You remember e compromised with his creditors after the fire for 50 cents on the dollar. Since then he has undertaken to pay them all-in full, and has succeeded in paying quitc a number of them. The" result is that be now finds bimself hard up. “Don’t you think he will puill through, though, ultimately?”’ 4 }Se:dly, I don’t knmow. 1t's pretty hard to say. “Do you know for what amount he failed"” i XNo, I don’t know that, either. I told him if $100,000 would see him through I would be- come responsible for that amount myself. But be wouldn’t take it.” “ Did be say it wasn’t cnough?” “Yes, he failed for a larger amount thanthat, but I don’t know just how much.” “The iron firms here sccmed to think the trouble would ounly be temporary.’ ‘ “ T wish it were so, but I'in afraid it’s much worse.” And eo the conversation terminated. Mr. Frank Sturges’ partner is Mr. William 8. Potwin. The firm is really known asthe Chi- cago Stamping Works, the house having been me) into & stock company during the past few months. The failure will cause general surprise, both here and elsewhere, and not 2 Jittle sympathey for the unfortunate firm. The extent of the failure is not detinitely known, but report puts it at §500,000. The firm will issue a on Monday to their creditors, who are mostly in the East. The assets arc said to be valuable, but heavily incumbered. They include the property corner of Harrison and Peoria streets, worth 3100,000, and 300 acres ot land west of the city limits worth $300 an acre, but also mortgazed. It is gniu that 397,000 is due to the Northwestern ALEXANDER SULLIVAN. NIE WILL BE TRIED ON MONDAY BEFORE JUDGE AALLISTER. The motion for a change of venue in the Alexander Sullivan case was beard in the Crim- inal Court yesterday morning. The prisoner was in court attended by his attorneys. The first proceeding was the reading of the follow- ing petition by Mr. Moran, one of the attor- neys: The g:lmoncr, Alexander Sullivan, defendant in the above entitled cause, respectfully represents to the Judge of said Court, holding Court at this time, that he fears that he will not receive a fair and impartial trial in the above entitled canee, if tried before the Judge of said Court now holding and presiding at said Court, because the said Judge thereof is prejudiced against him. That the same state of facts applies to the Hons. John A. Jame- son, Samuel M. Moore, William W. Farwell, Eras- tus S. Williams, John G. Rogers, and Henry Booth, also Judges of Court, and that he fears that he will not receive a fair aad impartial trial, if tried before any of said Judges, on account of the prejudice of each and every one of said Judges against him. t an actual knowledge of such prejudice, as stated aforeesid, did not come to ‘petitioner until the 11tn day of October, 1876, and that the cause for which this change of venac is asked has arisen and has come to his knowledge eince the Jast term of this Court, to wit, the 11th ber, 1870. _ ot et obe filug and Frederick Grimm, mak- ing the snnexed and accompanying affidavit, are respectable persons and reputable revidents of the County of Cook, snd are not of kin or counsel to petitioner. Petitioner therefore prays for a change of venue in this cause pursuant (o the statnte in such cuse ‘made and provided. ALEXANDEE SULLIVAN. The joint affidavit of Pulling and Grimm slso averred that the Judges named in the petition are so prejudiced thut the prisoner could not have a fair and impartial trial. The Court graoted the change Pmyed. re- marking that he supposed the disposition of the defeudunt was to betried pefore J udghe Meallis- ter, and the order was so made.

A northeaster of unusual violence visited this section about 2 o'clock and continues with un- abating fury at the present writing. The lake is fearfully rongh, and the vessels which went out during the last twenty-four hours had all to come back. A number of the returning crafts suffered damage to their sails, rigging, and up- per works, but no serious disaster has so far been reported. Mr. C. Kallstrom, the faithful and eflicient keeper of the Crib, sent wn the fol- lowing dispatch yesterday morning: Cnip, Oct. 14,—A very heavy storm arose this morning at 2 o'clock, and has continued rising up to time of writing. The wind is blowing from the northeast at the rate of sixty-five miles per hour, and 18 rising higher. The sea is running twelve fect high. ‘There are eight veesels in sight coming in, but no wrecks a8 yet. The temperatures are: Air, 42 degrees; water, 52, Barometer is 20:35, sising very fast All is O. K. out here, but very nolsy. Among the vessels which suffcred from the gale were the following: The schooner Cross- thwaite, which left herc on Friday for Buffalo, returned vesterday afternoon, having been handled very roughly by the furious waves. Her sails were split and her bulwarks stova in. She had two feet of water in her hold, and had to be taken to the elevator to have her cargo taken out. It is feared tlat much of her cargo of corn is damared. The schooner San Jacinto was overtaken by the gale while on her way to Michigan City “with a cargo of lumber. She was so shaken up that she commenced to leak, and bad to come back to go into dry-dock. The propeller City of Madison sprang a leak and dameged her rudderstock. She has gone into one of the docks of the Chi- cago Dry-Dock Company. The schooner O. M. Bund had her sails split. The Lottie Wolf, which was ashorc at Beaver Harbor, arrived here vesterday afternoon in tow of the wrecking-tug Crusader. She is scriously damaged, and leaking badly. The propellers Oswegatehie, Colin Campbell, and Arabia were also compelled to return on account of the gale, but are not damaged. PHILOSOPHICAL SOCIETY. TWAS MAN CONTEMPORARY WITH THE GLACIERS? An intelligent audience gathered in the little lccture-hall on the corner of Washington and Stute streets last evening to listen to an address by Prof. J. W. Clark, of theChicago University, on * Man on This Continent; Wus He Contem- porary with the Glaciers? ‘The subject of man’s antiquity, the speaker said, had been before discussed by him in this Society. Since then he had studied further in the South, and had gathered more material. Qualified observers in” the field had been few, and large ficlds yet remained for investigation. The forces of nature making great changes in the contour of the earth were little understood. There were but few who had opportunity to go outside the orthodox territory, and learn some- thing of the little speck of dust om which they were spending their years. Investigation of the subject had always "been ostracism. ~ To-da; it broke cover from the shade of secrecy, an stood forth in the light of discovery. The mute but eloquent whispers of nature were coming laden with truth. Among them was onc idca that harmony was older than time. Antiquarian research had given no restiug-place in beginnin; mau’s history. He assumed that man coexistes on this continent previous to its glaciation. The time could not be less, measured by geological data, than 200,000 years. He would notice a few reasons tor so believing. The forces which brought about the destruction and construction of rucks should first cnguge their attention. Thought- ful observations told that if they could reduce a thousand years to a day, the audience would live to see the bLardest rocks dissolve. An agency in the dissolution was carbonic acid gas. Feldspar, a constituent of granite rocks, was peculiarly subject to the effects of this gas, which had frequently found it at a depth of thirty fect In France and reduced it to gravel. What became of the decomposed feldspar? Watch the turbulent streams rushing down from the granite rocks. They were filled with a whitc substance, which the peo- le had utilized in making porcelain. enudation wuas almost as _frequent as decomposition. In Georgia he had scen the denuding forces very prevalent. Great ravines, forty or fifty feet, had been washe out of the solid granite. This phenomenon was not found noth of the south limit of the glaciers. Water holding carbonic gas washed out the rocks, giving us mammoth caves. This gas was so ubiquitous that we could not takea glass ot sparkling water from river or spriog without finding iu it a portion of lime. ALUMINA was another factor of earths’ changes. Thousands of insccts died and accumulated at the bottom of the sea. The red clay soil of the South could be shipped off and there would be found granite with layers of al- umina. Indubitable evidence was found that in France the glaciers scooped off hills from the lace where rest the ruins of man’s work. ‘here the period of glaciers had been shown to be 200,000 years. On this coutinent still better evidence was found. In our few years one could see little change in the landscape, yet the rocks showed that millions of years could have passed since man livea here. Greenland once harbored forests of magnolia, and in Nebraska lived camels and other animals of the torrid zone. 1t scemed that after that period the continent began to cool. North of Lake Superior the earth sank 1,000 fcet below the Jevel it occupied to-day under the pressure of thet jecbergs. Many rocks would be lifted and carried from the region north of Lake Superior to the southof Illinvis, while the rocks over which the glacials passed would be smooth- ed and striated. Not only that, but even the carth of our prairies had ‘been induced to mi- grate hundreds of miles from its native bed. The time absolute since man dwelt on the continent cannot be determined, buv the time relative. What a vust migration it must have been for the glaciers! They probably moved almost imperceptibly,—perhaps five or six miles 2 century. How long must 1t have taken for this stupendous mass of ice to form, depending upon the same sources which we now had# How long must it have taken merely for the carth to depress 1,000 fect, as it didt Cer- tainly not less than 40,000 vears. Then it must have taken another 40,000 years for the carth to resume its former condition. It could be secn that the glaciers destroyed oll animal life. Observations in natural history had afforded good grounds for assumption that Porto Rico, Cuba, the Bahamas, and Hayti once formed one land. How little, in_the present state of investigation, conld one dare to limit the existence ol man! The early Spanish dis- coverers found, with great’ surprise, the cross in Central Americz, used there as an cmblem of rain. The speaker claimed to have discovered a large territory which was once densely populated. While traveling over Ar- kansas last year his attention was directed to a number of round knolls, in some places having a heavy growth of timber upon them. No plausible theory seemed to be prevalent among the natives. He thought they were constructed by the tide of humanity that surged back from the south and followed up the retreating gla- ciers. Inall burial-places in North America the ancient native American was buried with his maize-crusher behind him. The cultivation of maize was a cult onein the short summers that were had in the glacial period. It could be best accomplished by raising mounds to se- cure a dry place. His theory was that man was driven by necessity to agriculture, and the mounds were thus erected here while yet the glaciers were existing further north. The lecture was discussed by Prof. Denslow, Judge Grabam, Dr. Abbott, Mr. Farwell, and others. The subject of the next lecture by the Rev. Mr. Forbush will be ** The Origin of The Question of Spontaneous Generatiom.” EUROPEAN GOSSIP. A Recent Grand Mesalliance in France. The Romance of Sa'm-Salm—Street- Dogs in Stamboul. A Saintly Swindler---Carious Trade--- Jealousy in Migh Places. A GRAND MESALLIANCE. ‘We published some time ago (says the New York World) a wonderful account from a Paris paper of the superb trousscau purchased for herself by a great Parisian heiress, Mlle. Le Jeune, who was about to marry a Prince of the ancient Belgian house of Caraman-Chimay. It was a thing to drive milliners mad and to break the hearts of ambitious spinsters all the world over, with its dozens of thousand-dollar haud- kerchiets, its shects half covered with em- broidery and lace, its coroncted splendors of oll sorts and kinds. The marriage took place at Epinay on the 22d of September, and on the next day the Paris Figaro contained an ac- count of the nuptiats, in the course of which it observed, ‘‘ the guests were not numerous; but we observed among those present the Countess of Mercy-Argenteau and the Princess Czartorlska, sisters of the groom, bothin ex- quisite toilettes, together with many other members of the house of Chimay.” Two days afterward the Figaro published - a letter in which, after citing the passage we have just quoted, the Prince of Cataman-Chimay, the head of the great family aforesaid, reguested the editor of Figaro to be good enough to cor- rect his statemeunt, and to inform munkind in general that, “with the exception of the two sisters of the bridegroom, no member whatever of the house of Chimay was present at this marriage.” All of which reads a little oddly in Republican France, and in_this nincteenth century; but there 3s & story behind it all which is worth tell- ing, inasmuch as it may be fairly sct down as one of those not very uncommon romances of real life which throw the fiction of professed story-tellers quite into the shade. ‘The princely house of Caraman-Chimay, as we have said, is one of the oldest and most flourish- ing of the noblc families of Belgium and of France. Its Lead, the author of the letter above cited, Joseph de Riquet, Prince of Caraman-Chimay and Governor of the Belgian Province of Haivault, is the cousin of the nobleman whose wedding with the Parisian heiress he so emphatically denies having coun- tenanced by his august presence, and the broth- er of the unlucky Princess de Bauffremont, whose interminable duel with her first husband, from whom she was divorced, and whose vain cfforts to get the legitimacy of Ler second mar- riage with _the Roumanian Prince Bibesco ac- knowledged by the French courts have from time to time sent her name and history travel- ing through the scandalous chronicles of Chris- tendom for several vears past. His cousin’s ob- jectionable bride, Mlle. Le Jeune, has long oc- cupied with her mother one of the finest resi- dences in the most aristoeratic quarter of Paris, and she is reputed to have inberited in her own right from her father’s fortune of some 39,000,- of francs, to which as inuch more will be added wupon the death of ber mother. She is young, more than ordinarily good-looking, bighly educated, and, a5 her mag- nificence in the way of a trousscau sufficiently proves, of tastes gorgeous enough for the bride of a Hindoo rajah, not to speak of a Belgian Prince. But the history of her fortune is 2s dark as the fortune itself is splendid, and though the mother of the Prince of Caraman- Chimay himself was the daughter of a simple citizen by the name of Pflaprat, he doubtless feels it due to his illustrious ancestors that he should draw the line somewhere, particularly when he draws it agsinst the ignoble millions which have been mutrimonially scquired, not by himself but by his cousin. In the troubled days of the First Consulate, when society in France wus still rocking an: secthing under_the stress of the great revolu- tion, there lived in Paris two obscure men, brothers, by the name of Michel, who drove a dark and doubtful trade as miscellancous pawn- brokers and money-lenders. In the course of business they cameo into relations with a rich client who put into their hands valuable cffects and_papers to a considerable amount, und who not long afterwards most unaccountably disap- peared.” The brothers thercupon began to prosper, and their prosperity soon began to breed suspicions, as there was lit- tle in their LE aracters to propitiate good will or inepireconfidecce. Whispers went about. a8 to the mysterious client and his mysierious eclipse, and these whispers eventually led to legal proceedings. How these proceedings came to be suspended was never clearly known, and, as France bad other matters then to occupy her mind, and the Michels became conspicuous con- tractors and bankers under the First Empire, all that was left in a few years’ time either of the whispers, the suspicions, or the proccedings was the unpleasant sobriquet of Michel the Assas- sin, which clung to the elder and the least popu- lar of the two. Both were misers, and after the death of the younger the elder became more than ever a recluse and a devotee of his cash-box. When at last he died, some quarter of 2 cen- tury ago or more, it came to light that he had one son, to whom he bequenthed .a great for- tune. This son took the name of Marc Le Jeune. He was well educated, though by ng-| _means remarkable for his intelligence, “and shortly after coming of age he contrived to get himself disagreeably involved with_a notorious woman in Paris, upon whom he lavished his money in such an amazing manuer that the in- tervention of the law wasat last called in to put astop to it. This experience sent him to an asylum; and when he emerged from it he went to Belgium, aod there, like the ¢ Lord of Burleigh ” in the poem, disguising himself asa poor _artist. or sumething of the sort, wooed and won a simple girl of the pcople, whom he ~honorably married. He took her some time afterwards to Paris and there dis- played himsclf to her astounded eyes in his true colors as s millionnaire and the master of a princely household. She took her sudden for- tune quietly and placidly cnough, changed her simple habits but little or not at all, and when her husband, aftera few years, died, devoted her- self to bringing up her only daughter, This is the young lady of the embroideries, laces, and the diamonds, who has now been publicly ex- communicated by lier husbana’s princely cousin as & “blot upon” the ’scutchcon™ of Caraman- Chimay. Whether the Prince Alphonse, her ssmnse, will feel called upon to elface in the blood of all the male Caramans of the elder branch the aflront thus put upon himsclf and the heiress of his choice remains to be seen. ¢ ROMANCE OF SALM-SALMM. Olive Logan writes from London to the New York Graphic: ** A person just married whose name is familiar to certain New York circles i3 the Princess Agnes de Salm-Salm, who has just cspoused the younger son of an English Lord, Afr. Charles Heneage, attache of Legation at Bonn. it is now about ten years since the Prin- cess made her debut in New York society, where she was very well reccived in despite of a very unpleasant circumstance, namely, the excessive penury of her titled husband. They were poor! Well, it is diflicult to wunderstand low they lived at all, for I believe the Prince had absolutely no income whatever. I visited them frequently st their lodgings in Hous- ton street. They had but ome room, the bed standing in an alcove and partly concealed by a curtain, and such furniture as was visible was of the poorest description. Where and when they took their repasts when they were not invited out was something of & mystery in those days when cheap restaurants in New York were not s0 well conducted nor so respeciably patronized as they are at present. The Princess was awin- ninz creature, excessively comme il jaut, and very dignified, in spitc of the emvarassing situa- tion in which their lack of fortune placed her. ¢ Of Prince Salm-Salm’s right to the title he bore there was never a shadow of doubt. We have had agoed many Count_de Friscurs and Duc de Charcutericsin New York, but Salm- 8alm was a genuine Austrian noble who had squandered his patrimony before coming of age, and who sought our shores in the hope of finding that golden fleece we are all looking for. ‘The first thing he found was this very charming woman, who was willing to exchange her name and position for his.” What her name and position were before marriage was a ques- tion which New York gossips tried in many ways to solve. Ibelieve the fact is undoubted that she has been before the public, but whether ehe was, as many alleged, a_circus rider, I can- mot say. Whatever her social status was before m g Salm-Salm, she proved herself ano- ble, affectionate, and_talented wife to him, and bore her title in fully as Princely 2 way as he did his. By her exertions, and ber persuasions of prominent officials in Washington, she ob- tained 2 command for Salm-Salm during tho War. He was a very good oflicer, but not a brilliant one, and when the War ceased and Brigadier-Generals returned to their duties in the way of selling sanded sugar, the Prince had to look out for another ¢ sit.” “Soon after that Maximilian’s troubles in Mexico came about, and_again the Salm-Salms were heard of as great adhereats ol Max il The bright lady liad settled 3 plan to rescue Mavimilian from Juarez's clutches, which, if it had been successful, would haye made her name immortal. If failed, frightfally, and the Princess’ powers of persuasion had now to b’e cxerted to the utmost to_obtain her husband’s pardon from the cruel tyrant Juarcz. It was granted on condition that she and her hushand should at once Jeaye the country—an invitation they were only to glad to avail themselves of. Théy made for Austria at once, and were well received by the Emperor Franz Josef, who, though he'was uot on good terms with his brotber Maximilian when he departed for Mex- ico, yet was naturally so_touched by his pitifal dcuti that he appreciated the efforts made by the Salm-Salms to avert it. “When the Franco-Prussian war was pro- claimed Salm-Salm, with the recommendations to the German authorities he was now able to obtain, had no dificulty in getting the command of s German corps @armee. He was killed at one of the earlicst battles, and his wife went to the front and by the exercise againof her per- sistent and energetic qualitics succeeded in ob- taining possession of her husband’s remains, which she caused to be interred with loving ceremonies. At this period she secms to have been again in a most impecunious position, which was hap- pily relicved by the opportune but uncxpected death of an uncle who bequeathed hera con- slderable fortune as a token of his satisfaction in her having obtained the title which, in marry- ing Mr. Heueage, she completely surrenders; becoming plain ¢ Mrs." like any o married woman. B “The Princess Salm-Salm fs mot without claims to literary distinction. She has just pub- lished a_volume entitled Ten Yearsof My Life,’ andbad previously compiled her deceased husband’s memnoirs. She is a woman about 40 years old now, I judge, though shc may be younger. Her r is white and ler beauty Taded; but her spirit is as indomitabla as ever, and before wedding Mr. Hencuge she made a vow to renew in his behelf those encrgetic en- deavors’ to'obtain his diplomatic advancement, which brought Prince Salm-Salm such military success as he enjoyed. She looked very charm- ing on her wedding day, clad in pale gray silk, with a profusion of rich lace. Many persons of great distinction sat down to the wedding break- fast, and a telegram of congratulation was read from the Ewmperor William. Mr. Hen- eage is a splendid specimen of manly beauty, buth as regards face and form. ; 1 certainly thotht I should have to chronicle, ere this, the marriage of a certain British noble- man to & young and beautiful New York girl, /whose pater caused apgood mény pockets to shrink at his great financial Hell Gate burst-up last summer, but the pleasant duty remains un- demaunded for the present. Trust me to chron- icle it promptly when it comes. Apropos de bottes, have you heard the rumor that a certain British Earl has been threatened with a breach of promise suit, and that the mat- ter has been compromised by the payment of heavy damages! Who can this be, 1 wonderd Friends of the Earl of Rosebery—Sam Ward, for instance, to whom his Lordship wrote some touching laudatory stanzas, which were, if I mistake not, published in the Graphie—will be pleased to hear that Ler Majesty bude this cul- tured and witty British noble to dine with her the other day when she visited Edinburg to un- vel the statue of the Prince Consort. His Lordship’s ancestral estates arc near Edinburg. /' STAMBOUL STREET-DOGS. A Constantinople correspondent of the Scols- man writes as follows: “No abundance of food, no kind treatment, will induce them to remain within doors, and the brutes greatly prefer the scarcity of food, the bitter cold of the ywinter, the suffocating heat of the summer, tothe loss of their liberty. They also rebel against all teaching or training, and neither blows nor caresses will get anything out of them in that way. However, I know of several self-taught dogs doing very clever tbings. To berin with, I be- lieve that the dogs at the railway, un- like the Turks, have become in some myste- rious way acquainted with the company’s time- tables, for these brutes, who pass the whole day in summer under_the carriages for the sake of the shade, and under the engines in winter for the sake of the heat, scem to know exactly the hour of the departure of the trains, for shortly before the fixed hour you may see them emerg- ing from under the carriages, and, if there be auy more lazily disposed than the rest, the sta- tion-master’s signal for departure, which is giv- en by the German word ‘gertig’ (rcady), sends them off scampering in all directions. Another curious specimen of the_self-taught strect-dog is the h}ef:ging dog of Galata Bridge, well known to the English Colony of Kadikeni. This do; is always to be®found on the bridge of the land- ing steps of the Kadikeni stcamer. As soon as it spies a foreigner, especially an Englishman, for whom it seems to have a great regard, it will kneel downonits fore paws and, gently laving ite head on your boots, give you first an imploring look and then turn and ook fixedly at some street vendor Of bread, or ‘Smit’s’ biscuits, of whom numbers are ai- ways loitering near the landing steps of the steamers. It will repeat this till youat last un- derstand that he wants you to invest 1V or 20 carns in bread or ¢ Smi’ts,’ for its own bencfit, which you generally end by doing. The curious partof the thi fiis, that 1 never saw the cur perform this trick for a Turk, whom it thinks no doubt more dull of understanding than Europeans. Lastly, 1 know a few years ago of an amateur sporting strect dog at the Village of St. Stefano, which is the great rendezvous of sportsmen during the quail season. St. Stefano seemsto be the first halting place of the quails on their journey southward from the Crimea. Thousands of these birds will fall in asingle night in the plains around the village, and two or three hundred sportsmen are at times col- lected to await their arrival, which greatly de- pends on the strength and dircction of the wind, ete. So, of course, numerous and varied are the predictions and the examples men- tioned by the old sportsmen _over night in~ supoort of thelr prophesies of the ncxt day’s sport; but the dog I speak of scemed to know more about the quails than the keenest sportsman. How ke got his information I cannot say, but the fact 13 that shortly after the supposed haur of the arrival of the quails, which issud to take place about 2 in the morning, he would begin running and barking through the village 1f they were numerous. This would set all the other dogs barking too, and wake us up. On other nights he would remain perfectly mict. At daybreak the doz would be sure to found at the en- trance of the village, reviewing, seemingly with a critical air, the out-going sportsmen. As soon as he would sce one without a dog whose ap- pearance pleased him, he would trot on in the tields before him and begin secking the quails in a very creditable way. If his adopted master shot the first quail that rose, he would remain with hiim all day, working in tight good earncst, ‘but if not, he would turn on his heels and, with an angry howl, would scamper off to the villuge in search of a new master. ~ We have tried over and over again this dog with other game, but it seemed only to have a nose for quails, and not to understand what we wanted.” A SAINTLY SWINDLER. _ Something new and remarkable in the way of swindling has just come before the Assizes of the Manche, France. The prisoner was a man named Girod, aged 64, a meelk and oily char- acter of monastic aspect and wearing blue spectacles. -In the course of his checkered carcer he had made the acquaintance of several prisons, and at the end of 1373, after having served eighteen months on the treadmill for em- bezzlement, he found himself ouce more free. The clerical agitation being rampant, he thought he might turn it to account. His modus operandi was_very simple. He went to a monastery and declared that he was tired of the worldand its vanities. . He eaid he possessed property at Turin worth several thousand pounds, which he desircd to make over to the community, but unfortunately therewas a little mortgage which must be cleared off first of all. The father superior, confident in the sin- cerity of the repeutant sinver, advanced the sum to pay off the mortzage, and sent one of the monks with him to arrange the sale of the property and the catrance of the convert into the monastery. Arrived at Turin Girod easily managed to get rid of his companion, aud noth- ing more was heard of the promising old sinner. In this way, backed ug by all kinds of forgea documents and certificates, the prisoner suc- cecded in swindling $200 out of the Abbey of Soligny-la-Trappe, $300 out of the Monastery of Sept-Fons, $120 out of the Olivetian Brotuers of Parmenie, $400 out of the missionary fathers of Lourdes, $350 out of the superior of Notre- Dame da Lans,and $150 out of the Marizat Broth- crs, of Besahcon. But the pitcher went to the well too often. The monastic confraternity were aroused by these repeated deceptions, and 2 warning was fent round to tae various monas- terics, The consequence was that when the meek ‘and_repeatant Girod presented. himsel{ with his old story to the Trappist Brothers, of Bricquebec, ie was caught in his own trap, and handcd over to the police. 2 —— A CURIOUS TRADE. One often hears of the curlous trades which are exercised in Paris (says a lctter to the Phil- adelphia Telegraph), and a novel one: of these was brought to light bya terrible sccident which happencd In this city a short time ago.

An incident which occurred here a few years ago (says a London letter) may, perhaps, serve to illustrate the jealousy which exists upon the question of precedence among the different Am- bassadors. Musurus Pasha nad the misfortune to lose his wife, who died at a ball given by the Prince of Wales. At the first ** drawing-room,"” or reception, held by the Queen after this mel- ancholy event, the Minister brought his eldest daughter to fill the place of the deceased lady, and, a8 her mother’s representative, Miss Musurus had vrecedence of all other la- dies of the Diplomatic Cor}i{; wh‘g’J wg:bpresac(fl)c; uss 2ss immediately left the palace, protesting that the whereupon the wife of the. daughter of the Turkish Minister had no claim to this superiority. This created, of course, in- tense excitement, and, after a careful inquiry into the forms and observances of etlquette, it was found that the Russian lady was in the right. However, by way of balm to the wound- ed feclings of the representative of the Sublime g Porte, the Queen invited his daughter to spend | Ex. C Sugar, per b. a few wecks at Windsor Castle, an honor which, it is said, had never been vouchsafed to any ot his brother diplomats. And so the incident ended. ——— SINGULAR ACCIDENT. A very singular accident took place onthe | Rice, Carolina, 15 Champs Elysces the other day. A lady, well known in Parisian socicty,was on her way to the Bois de Bologne, driving herself, asis her cus- tom, two spirited black horses attached to a low carringe. Not far from the Arc de Triomphe a servant in livery passed her, lead- ing a large and magnificent Russian blood- hound. On sceing the lady, the dog, with one sudden effort, broke loose from his guardian, sprang into the carriage, and com- menced caressing_ its occupant with vehement caresses. The lady, thus taken Dysurlpnse, lost. her hold of the reins, the horses took iright and started off on a run, and_in a few moments the carriaze was overturned. The lady and her footman were both a good deal hurt, though not dangerously so, while as to the poor dog who had been thic unwitting cause of the whole disaster, he was killed on the spot. In answer to the interrogatories of the police the lady stated that the dog had formerly belonged to her, but that ho had _been stolen from her some months before. As to the servant who had bad the dog in charge, he was nowhere to be found. ————— A BACHELOR'S BASIN. To ihe Editor of The Tribune. CRicAGO, April 14.—When your neighbor, the editor of the Chicago Times, tries to be funny he is genmerally stupid, but occasionally he is fanny, not to say ridiculous, unbeknown as it were, to himself. In one of the small para- graphs in yestcrday’s issue, suppcsed to be very cute, he alludes to the barber’s brass basin which Don Quixote appropriated as a helmet us a “dirty bachelor’s’ basin.” What does he mean? y should he assume that the barber was a bachelor, and if so, why should he that he was a dirty bachelor. I should think a few quotations from Shakspeare from the same source would be quite interesting. J. D. 8. MARRIAGES, BRADLEY—LORD—In Milwaukee, Wis., Wed- nesday, Oct. 11, 1676, by the Rev. C. L.
