New Yorx, Sept. 12.—If it is worth come- thivg, it also commonly costs something, to as- sociate with noblemen and aristocrats. A club, started a year or two ago near Astor Place by a pumber of young and wealthy North German merchants, Lankers, and ship-owners, is said to bave learned this by recent experience—§39,000 worth of experience. It was a simple confi- dence ame,—so simple and well played as to sure its success. Two young Germans came totown. They registered as Count Wortensle- ben and Baron Werthers, had passports seemingly regular from the Minister of Forelen Affairs at Berlin, —aud brought excellent Jetters of recommendation. Thev were wealthy, of course, showed letters of credic for large amounts. They were makivg & vovase around the world, and proposed to pas three or four months in this city. Introduc tothe Club, which devotes two floors of its house to roulette, rouze et noir, and other ‘pastimes, the vouns noblemen soon ingratiated themselves ia general favor. Thev played loose and free, 10st with noble carelessuess. and threw 1he metropolitans entirely off their cuard. One broxer advanced sometning like §10.000 on the leiters of credit, and others were willing lend- ers. The nobles lost a considerable amount, and fortunc was apparently against them. At {enwth one of them sugoested a new roulette- board and mew cards, on the ground that the kind they were using had been Jonx discarded ~In Europe, and afforded chance for unfair play. The Club managers consented, and were supplicd with mew articles. The Gung-and agrecable visitors still lost heawily. at one night Count Wortensleben was allowed to run the bank. The rooms were full, and a bir game was played. As 8 result, by a most Jucky turn the Count won §2000." He pro- posed to gve satisfaction at rouge et noir, and won $18,000 more at that. Then ne agreed to give the losers a chance at him the mnext nizht, and the party broke up. The Count aud Baron have not been seen since. Their letters of creait were forgeries, the certificd_checks being re- turned to the parties who had accepted them. And upon examnation, with this new light, the Club managers found the roulette constructed 50 that the banker could control the ball, while the cards were swindiers’ packs. 1f this story be sccurate, the Club is quite too fresh for Gotbam, cspecially since it sets up to bea gentleman’s gambiing club. H. FIGHT WITH ROAD AGENTS. HaTt Cueeg, Wr. Ter., Sept. 14.—The north- ‘bound coach was stopped about 11 o’clock last night by six armed men. There were two pas- sengers aboard, one a lady, who wais unmolest- ed; and Mr. Goldsworthy, from whom they took $10 in money, but returned it on being in- formed that he was a laboring man. After rob- Ding the mail-sacks the coach was allowed to proceed morth. Meeting the down-coach, it avas warned. When the down-coach reached the place of the robbery it was balted, and while he robbers were engazed in going through the pockets of the two passeugers and the mail eacks the two messengers, who were riding about 200 yards in the rear of the coach, ' came- up, dismounted, ana crept up within fifteen vards of the robbers, when they were commanded to halt, and fired upon. The fire was returncd, and one of the vobbers fell dead. Theothers retreated to a guich, kecping up a steady fire on_ the messen- Zers, who returned 1t, but dare not leave their position. The coach meantime hzd driven ou, and, after waiting some time, and sceing that they were not stroug cnourh to dislodgethe rob- bers, the messengers mounted their horses and rejoined the conchy, leaving the mail sacks Iving in theroad mear the body of the dead rubber. The messeoeers arc confident thai two of the robbers who got away are badly wounded.

The Robbery of the Receiver-General's Of- fice in Toronto—Counterfeit §5s—General Methodist Conterence—The Jesuit Outh, Spectal Dispaten to The Trubune. ToroxTo, Sept. 14.—The mysters surround- ing the robbery at the Receiver-General's office fn this city on the 4th of July last, is gradually being cleared up by aid of American and Cana- dian detectives. Thomas and Lowsa Bigelow were arrested in Liverpool on suspicion of hav- ing taken part in the robbers, but, after several remands, were discharged, evidence hc&r{g in- sufficient to hold them. They immediately took passage in the steamship Circassian, {znll returned to this country. In the meantime additional evidence was secured, and the Bige- Jows were re-arrested on their arrival at Rimou- ski, below Quebee, and brought on to this city. Tie prisoners appeared before a Police Magis- trate here, but were remanded for a week. Bigelow is a man of about 35 years of age, with a distinet American acceut. He atrenuously denies any complicity in the robbery, and savs that at the proper time he will be able Lo proy an alibi. Le further states that, at the time the robbery, was committed, he_was in Chicago, and is prepared to prove it.

QuEBEC, Sept. 14. —The Harbor Commission- ers have commenced their Inquiry into the re- cent steamboat wrecks in the Gulf. Aninves- tigution into the lvss of the steamship Lake Megantic is now going on. ‘The Commissiouers are assisted by Commander Ashe and Capt. Garbeau. Special Disvatch to The Tribune- MONTREAL, Scpt. 14.—One zoud clue to the counterfeit 35 bills on_the Bank of Commerce, in circulation here, is, that they have no ring on the hand of the Queen. while the ring can be seen quite distinctlv in the zenuine. In other respects the counterfeit is perfect. It is supposed to be the work of the Awerican gaog. A case containing tweive solitaire diamond rings, valued at §2,000, has_mysteriously disap- peared from the window of the store of Rice Sharpley, on Notre Dawe street. ‘At the Geoeral Conference of the Methodist Charch of Canads, the Rev. Mr. Sutheriand read the report of the Standing Committee on the Hymn-Book guestion, and also gave an account of the mode adooted by the last General Con- ference respecting this important question. The Committce sat ten hours daily for a week, and proceeded with great care 10 esamine the vari- out hymns comprised in the book now in use. They recommended the elimination of nearly 200 hymos, and the alteration of certain lines and verses of several others. A considerable number of hviuns in the book are pever sungy these the Committee propose to leave out alto- gether. Tuey were desirous of leaving the hymn-book much as Wesley left it: but they found, ou careful examination, that cven that part of the book wnich Mr Wesley did revise has been much altered by his suceessors. The TRev. Mr. Lathern seconded the reeeption of the Comimittee’s report, and made reference to the mode which had heen nursued by the delcaates in England and the Methodist Episcupal Church in the United States. There were $20,060 invest- ed in Hymu-Rooks by the Methodisis of Can- ada, and te felt assurcd 2 uew Hymn-Book was required. Eirht million new books have ready been called for. The Rev. E. Cobb, the Britivh representative, szid he was reluctant to nterfere in the discussion, ye the would gladly id the Conference to come toa rizht conclu- sion in this matter. He begaed to sugwest that they mizht defer the consideration of the ques- tion until after the Ecnmenical Council of Methodism, which he believed was snortly to be held. The Rev. Dre. Kice, Fowler, and Rye son spoke strongly azainst the Comnitiee’s r port. They considered that alterations had been propused which were of u revolutionary character. Dr. Ryerson especially contended that the Committee had exceeded its duties in recommendiug the publication of a new Hymn- Book, and that the matter had been disposed of too hastily. A number nt delerates defended the action of the Committee: and at length it was reculved that a dceument be printed con- taining a list of all the alterations recommenaed, and the number of hymns which are to be leit out; and that further discussion of the question be deferred until such information is given. ‘The Rev. Dr. Upbam, fraternal delegate of the Methodist Episcopal Chburcn in the United States. was presented to the Conference, and detivered a brief address. 'he Orange trials still drag tbeir slow length along. In tbe course of the procecdings, one of the witnesses read the Jesuit oath, which is as follows: 1.

A _strange at- tachment cxisted between the alligator and the twfant, the former being so doclle that the (riends frequently spent hours during the day in plaving with each other. ‘The allizator would amble clumsily to his tank, take a eportive dive, and returnil he would embrace the little one, s0 to speak, and give unmistaknble evidence zof delight in receiving tender caressesin return, So secure secmed the friendship between |them that Mr. Philbrick never thonzht of havm, and left the pla mates to themselves to pass the time suited their inclinarion. T'he friendly relations did not last long, however, for Mr. Phitbrick was startled about 10 o'clock on Wednesday last by awonizing screams coming from the back vard, and rushing out be found to his horior ihat the alligator had bitten the littlo fellow’s arm almost cntirely off, the fraction of limb dangling by a slender bit of cuticle. The poor suffering little thing moaned and wept bitterly, and the allizator, sceing the distress he had created, crawled up to his vie- tim and shed copious tears of aympathy, s expressionless countenance giving him the ap- pearance of a subdued and sentimental ass.

ZLondor Times, Aug. 30. Our Geneva correspondent, writing on the 271h inst., gives some interesting particulars concerning the convict colony of Payerne, de- rived from & paper recently read by M. Baud, director of the establishment, before I;he Societe Vaudoise. The colony was founded .ather more than five yearssince by thelate M. Bonjour,Coun- cilor of State of the Canton Vaud. This gentle- man, who was at the head of the Department of Justice and Police, gave much thought to tke question of prison reform, and he was, above all, extremely desirous to bit upon some plan by which the time of prisoners might be utilized for their own good and the good of the commu- nity, and their evil ‘habits and tendencies more effectually combated than by secluding them in guols at great cost and trouble. M. Bonjour concluded that these objects might be at least partially attained by meanys of a penal settlement in the canton; aud, having obtained the consent of bis colleagues, he pro- ceeded to put bfs plans into execution. His first step was tolook fora suitable piece of land. He found exactly what he wanted at Payerne. ou thie banks of the River Broie—500 cres of marshy, uncultivated grouund, with not a single farm building upon it, which the com- munes to whom it belonged were willing to let him have for £1,000. Operations were commenced in the autumn of 1863. A large wooden barn, which served the purpose of stables, storchouse and habita- tion for the first convict colonists, was bought. Inthe first instanre only four convicts were employed, but by the end of the year their number had increased to eizhteen, and during 1574 regular occupation was found for seventy. Some worked on the land, under the direction of an experienced farm manager, while others were engaged in the erection of farm building and workshops. Craftsmen wrought at their own crafts in rooms provided for the purpose. Everythinvg was done by the convicts, In 1876 the commodious and - extensive farm buildings were completed, and the building of permanent of. tices, dormitories, and workshops was taken in hand. ‘The improvements cifected in the year in question on the estate, irrespective of ordi- nary acricultural operatious, were estimated at £400. During 1876 and 1877 the convicts on the rstablishment varied from 90 to 100, and these figures may probably be rezarded as fiual, for by a law passed fu 1875 only prisoners whose sentences ars at least six months or at most five years can be sent to Paverne. On the 18t of July the colony included 50 ap- ricultural laborers, 2 swineberds, 2 mole-cai ers, 4 ox-drivers, 1 saddler, 5 masons, 1 tin- smth, 4 plasterers and painters, 4 weavers, 2 plownien, 6 shoemakers, 6 carpenters, and 6 biacksmithe,—in all 93 individuals. The live stouk consisted of 160 sheep, 45 piss, 3_colts, 3 mares, 4 calves, 4 cows, and a bull. The per- sounel was made up of a director, 2 bookkeep- er, two gendarmes, and a carter (the last an old couviet). The farm operations are described as having been remarkably successtul, the land is dilirently and intelligently cultivated. and the crops last year are said to have been the finest possible. 1t will be secn from these details that the col- ony of Payerne is a mode! of cconomical man- agement, and the fact that a bundred convicts are controlled by one director and two gen- darmes is certainly verv noteworthy. It should be remembered, however, that individuals of homicidal provensitics bave no placeat Payerne, that a part of the duty of superintendence - is intrusted to the more intellizent and better- benhaved of the convicts, and that Swiss peas- ants, when Kept away from.sbsirithe and whi wine, are very docile and amenabte to discinling woreover, men who pass the wreater part of their time in the open air have not the same inducement to attsmpt to escape as those who are slways confiued within the four walls of a prison. ~ Economically, the experimcnt has proved a decided success: As to its effect on the convicts themselves, M. Baud makes soine infer csting observations. lie divides the men sent to Payerne into three categories,—first, the regulac jail-birds, men who have suf- ferel many previous convictions and undergone several terms of imprisonment. These he rezards as totally devoid of moral sense and beyond hope of reclamation. They only leave the colony to return in a short time, and he regrets that they should be admitted at all, their presence and example having a de- cidedly cvil cffect on the better disposed. The second class consists ot ren who have seen het- ter days, such as smail landowners and foremen of workshops, who, by reason of intemperance or weakness of moral fibre, have falien from the paths of houesty without becoming habitual criminals. The retorm of these, thinks M. Baud, is to be effected by a loug period of re- straint, discipline, and regular work, to the end that, when tiiey leave the colony, they mav. be enaoled by the help ot the charitable “to create for themselves a new future and become useful members of society. To the third class belong iclly youths who have been condemned for vagahonduge and mendicity. Abandoned for the most part Ly ther families, untaught in their childnood, brought up by public charity, and strangers to the love of kindred, it is not surprising that they fiud their way in great num- bers to tire colony.” On these unfortunates the effcct of a sojourn at Payerne is often hizhly encouremng. Thev discover that honest. work, wscther with cleanliness, temperance, and wholesome food, conduce more 1o happi- ness than a career of idleness and wandering, alternated by want and exposure. Many of thieuy, thinks the dircetor, in the hands of kind aud judicious masters, may he permanently re- med. The same observation holds good with reference to most of the convicts, except the thoroughly vicious. If society wonld take more interest in their after careers, and extend 1o them sometimes a helping hand, thev might do well and become a vlessing to themselves and 10 others. On the whole, as touching the moral ontcome of the Paverne experiment, M. Baud appears to be somewhat despoudent. “What with vice aud_poverty on_ une side,” he says, *and want of charity and indifference on the other, our prisons and reformatory establishments are al- ways full, one set of inmates is succeeded hy aoother, and the weary round goes on.” He adds, however, that the Payerne svstem. as comuared with any other tiat has vet been tried, is 50 far a suceess, as well in its mora in its financial aspects, that it will be continued and possibly extended.

NEw Yorg, Sept. 12—Gilmore’s Garden probably never contained a more brilliant au- dience than that which assembled last night in honor and for the benefit of Theodore Thumas. 1t was agrona farewell, if farewell it must be. There has been a deal of gossip about the move- meat to keep Thomas, and induce him to break with Cinclonatl, but certainlv no definite action lias been taken. Itis generally considered that the stafement that one wentleman had of- fered $5,000, and the Philharmonic Socicties as much more, toward a Thomas fund, was put out as a feeler. The public has apparently made up its mind that Thomas is going, aud to let nim go. The benefit was a worthy ‘‘send- ofl.” The scats were 31 and the boxes $5, but every seat and box was taken. There was-n crowd, and, when the size of the place is taken into account, that is sayinz much. The recciots were $4,756, of which $4.476 zo straizhtway into Mr., Thomas’ pocket. Tnat will pay his car-fare to Cincinnati, and Jeave him something over for beer. The programme was like the rest of the programmes turnished at the Garden through- out the season. It would be ditlicult to origi- nate a better one, and there was no need for Mr. Thomas to add anoything in the way of an extra. Miss Abbott was _in fine voice, and sung for Miss Clara Louisc Kelloze on the one side, and Mlle. Marie Roze on the other. OPERATIC GOSSIY- Miss Kelloge, by the way, looks fresh and cheery, and seems to be in thoroughly rood humor with herself and all the worid. She had 2 cordial and pleasant welcome home on Tues- day, and savs she enjoyed hersclf all the time she was away, though “in Europe she was at work constantlv studving and hearing as many prominent singers as she could. She heard * Carmen,” which she will introduce here, and it was a great success. Minnie Hauck, who is coming with Mapleson’s company, has learned much, Miss Kellops says, acts well, and sings charmingly. Of the rich Mrs. Mackey Miss Kellogg tells this story: Mrs. Mackey lives on the Chauwmps Elysecs, near the Arc de-Triomphe, which, you lnow, is 8 mag- nificent piece of architecture. She wished to give a fete, and in honor of the event illuminate the Arc with a brilliant light. She asked permisston of the ocal anthorities und wae refused. She pulled no end of wires to get the consent of the Govern- ment, bat in vain, The Government was obdurate, and had no sympathy with festivals or illumina- tions, At last Mrs. Mackey was thoroughly out of patience. She went fo the officials and sai Vell, what will you take for the Arc de Triomphe, any way And Miss Kellogg added: **I've no doubt she'd bave bought it if she could, and, after the festival, given it back to the Govern< ment. ‘Tue Strakoszh-Kelloze company expect to be in Chicawro carly in Uctober.

A rival to India-rubber aud gutta-percha has heen found in a new elastic gum which has been named Balata. This is the milky sao of the bully-tree that flourishes ou the banks of the QOrinoco and the -Amazon in South America. The operation of winuing the fum is similar in cvery respcct to that cmployed with caouwhoue and putta-percha. It resem- bles gutta-percha'so closely in its general properties that much of it is shipped from Guiana and sold ‘yearly for zurta- Dercha, although it has many points of superi- orlty. It is tasteless, gives an agrecable odor on being warmed, may be cut lile putta-pereha, is tough and leathery. is remarkably flexible and far more elastic than gutia-percha. 1t becomes soft, and may be joined piece to piece. like gutta-percha. at about 120 degrees Fahrenheit, but requires 270 degrees Fahrenheit before melt- ing (higher than gutta-percha). It isscomplete- 1y soluble in benzole and carbon disulphide in the cold. Turpentine dissolves it with wbe application ot heat, while it is only partly soluble in anhvdrous alcohol and ether. It be- comes strongly clectrified by friction, and is a better insulator of heat and clectricity than zutta-perchs, on which account it may find con- siderable application for elcetrical and tele- graphic uses. Caustic alkolies and concentrated sulphuric and nitric acids do oot attack it; but concentrated sulphuric and nitric acids attack it as they do mutta-percha, which it closely re- sembles in all other properties. e —— Adventure With a Snake, Altoona (Pa.) San. On Mondog of last week, while a party of per- sons were zatberivg berries on Bear Run, in Pike Township, Clearfleld County, Mrs. Johin Hegarty, who resides near Curwensville, had aii adventure with a rattlespake which will not scen be effaced from her memors. She was standing ona clear spot_at the foot of slight risc of round, and when her attention was at- tracted by abrzzing noise shethought it was an insect of some kind and mever thought of a rattlesnake until the noise amongz the bushes caused Ler to look toward the high around near her, which she did just in time tosee an im- mense rattlesnake flying toward her tace. She quickly threw her bead to onc side. aod it shot over her shoulder, striking its Joathsome bodv against ber cheek. A scream from ner attract- ed the attention of her husband near by, who ran up and pulled her out of the way just as the snake liad coiled itself for another spri He then killed the snaie, which wasa largc one, sporting ten rattles. Mrs. Hegarty suffered consiferably from fright, but her escape from a le death Wwas very narrow. ————— The Harvest Moon. New York Trivune, The moon which s full to-day is vopularly kuown as the Harvest Moon, beeause, as Ferau- son, the Scoteh astronomer, quaintly remarks, the farmers of the Otd Country *‘wratefully ascribe the carly rising of the full moon at this time of the year to the goodness of God, not doubting that ke has ordered it 50 on purpose to wive them an immediate supply ot moonliant after sunset for their greater convenicuce in reaping the fruitsof the earth.” The peculiarity ol the Harvest Moon, which is the full moon immediately preceeding the autumnal equinox, is that it nises for_thrce or four eveninzs—pur- teularly in hizh Northern Iatitudes—at almost the same hour, although ally the houris forty-eight_minutes later every evening. This is explained by the fact that near the autumnal equinox the path of the full moon is very slizht- ly inclined to the horizon, and consequently her time of rising or uppearing above the harizon is not much aflected by her ordinary eastward movement. v —— Bristow’s New Partnership. Verr Fork Sun, The Hon. B. H. Bristow, ex-Secretary of the Treasury, formed a Jaw parinership with Aessrs. Opdyke & Peet and Geu. H. L.

FINANCE AND TRADE. Conntry R-iis: unts More Active than Currency Ordexs. ‘The Produce Markets Irregular---Pro- visions Stronger---Hogs Firw. Breadstuffs Declined, but Olosed Better— Movement of Produce During the Week, FINANCIAL. The country banks are applying freely for redis- counts. This is not becange their balances are drawn down, but is a demand for the assistance of Chicago capital in carrying stock through the win- ter. As a matterof fact, country bank balances do not run down much during o drain of carrency to the countrv. The carrency is coming back ail the time, and agninst the stuff shipped drafts are forwarded, so that the balances are pretty well malntained. The funds required to be advanced 10 stack mén, who feed cattle through the winter, are too large to be met ontof the balancesof the country banks here, and reconrse must be had to borrowing. Carrency orders have not been heavy during the week, and New York exchange has ruled at 50¢ per $1,000 dieconnt to par. Sat- urday’s quotation was 25¢ per $1,000 discount to par. The supply of negotiable vaper was only fair, and rates remained unchanged at 6@10 per cent to regnlar customers, with special rates in special cases.

A mew element in the ellver market is the proba- Dble return of Austria to -specic payments. The ‘London Statist points ont that the value of Aus- trian paper money has mow advanced to alevel with that of silver. Austrian silver and paper florins have been quoted on the Vienna Bourse at the same price. The credit of the Government has been improviog, and it is not unlike- Jy that advantage may be takenof the present fa- vorable condition of affairs to resume specie pay- menls. Should this be done, there would be a de- mand in Austria for a large amount of sitver. AUGUST COINAGE. The coinage in Angust, 1878, at all the United States mints was: Value.
