The war between the New York trunk fines on emigrant business from Castle New York, promises to become quite lively and interesting during the next few weeks, as the Erle Railway, according to 8 dispatch received “yesterday by Mr. L. T. Stanley, General Western’ Passenger Agent of the road In this city, has decided to meet every move that is made by the Pennsyl- yenia Railroad Company. This war was joaugurated by the Pennsylvania Railroad Company by notifying the Emigration Com- missioners at Castle Garden that on all im- migrant business consigned over its road it would allow a commission of 20 percent. The Commissioners took kindly to the in- docement, and they decided to send all such ‘pusiness that was not: ticketed through from Enrope via other routes over the- Penn- syivania. ‘Previous to that time the Penn- sylvania got little if any of the emigrant - pusiness from New York, That Company had always been making great efforts to induce as much of the European travel as ‘ible to come via the steamers running to Philadelphia ana their road. Hence the steamer runnl to New York would give no traffic to the Pennsylvania from that point, and the loose business was also con- signed by the Emigration Commissioners over the Erieand New York Central. The Erie had always been the favorit emigrant | youte and got the bulk of the business be- cause the Steamship lines favored this rout for the reason that the Erie always adhere tothe policy of allowing steamships to make through rates from European ports to inte- Hor points In the United States. In this position the Erie stood alone up to this time, and it has helped the New York steam- ship lines in meeting the competition by the Philadelphia steamers. The Erie and New York Central at first refused to. meet the .reduction made by the Pennsylvania, put the Erie has finally grown tired of al- Jowing the ficld entirely to the Pennsylvania, and, as stated above, has at last decided to make a fight for the business, no matter what the result may be. It has now given notice tothe E:nigration Commissioners that it has decided to make a straight reduction of 20 per cent on emigrant business. This applies not only on business from Castle Garden but on ail emigrant business, and the New York steamship lines are allowed to quote these rates, This action by the Erie leaves the Pennsylvania at a disadvantage, as the latter has only allowed a reduction of 20 io cent on business from Castle Garden, New York, but not on. through business. Ithas not been learned whether the New York Central has joi the Erle In this, action or no! but, if it not. already done so, it will no doubt do so before loug, as it must meet any action taken by the Erie in this matter, if it meaus to secure its share of the emigrant traffic. What action the Pennsylvania will now take isa matter of doubt. it insists upon getting a share of the New. York emi- grant business, which the New York lines are not willing to concede, there will be quite adrop in emigrant rates, and.emigration to this country: from Europe will be greatly benefited reby, and the indications are ‘that it will adhere to this position as long as there is a chance left to carry its point. ADVANCE IN FREIGHT RATES. From advices received here yesterday it appears that the Standing Committee of the Joint Executive Cominittte held a meeting in New York Friday and took a vote on the proposition to’ advance east-bound freight- rates five cents per 100 pounds. It is under- stood that the vote was in the effirmative, and that the advance will go into effect Jan. 5,18S1. This will bring up east-bound freight rates to 40 cents per 100 pounds on grain and 45 cents on provisions on the basis from Chicago to New York. Several in- effectual attempts were made heretofore to advance east-bound rates, but, owing to the large amount of freight in transit, that could not be readily disposed of, the action was deferred, as otherwise too much of a hard- ship would have resulted to Western ship- pers who intended to get their freight for- ward before the advance tovk place, but were prevented from doing so on ac- count of ‘the blockade. ‘The rates were taised last year to 40 cents.on grain and 45 cents on provisions about a month and a half earlier than this year, and-the rail- toads cite this fact as proof that the wil not advance rates, although they are pooled, when the interests of shippers will suffer by such action. There of course be no further advance in east- bound freight rates this winter, and it is not even certain that they can be maintained been learned. This wilt give the Gould e: cate four mombers of the Bourd until the eR R Jar election ia to be beid on the second Tnesday in Mereh, 1881, when, of course. the ownership of the stock will decide the composition of the new Bonrd. ‘Mr. Alien made a transfer of his Ss milion bine Mumdred deaneeed delete le 900,000) In cash, a mE = ae THE WABASH SYSTEM. Sr. Louis, Dec. 25.—The Past-Dispatch publishes an elaborate article regarding the operations of Jay Gould and his associates in the West and Southwest, the railroads they have acquired, the extent of the various combinations, the aggregate of them, ‘and the present and future effect of these operations upon the growth and commerce of St. Louis. The miles embraced in what is called Gould’s consolidation are as follows: The Wabash system, both east and west of the Mississippi River and branches, 2,487 miles; Missouri Pacific and branches, 712; Central Branch Union Pacific, 363; Missourl, Kansas & Texas and branches, 825; Kansas !’acific and branches, 1,011; ,Union Pacific and branches, 2,115; Denver & South Park, 201; Iron Mountain and branches, 683; International & Great Northern, 664;° Texas & Pacific, so far built, 587; total, 96,497 miles, In addition to this there are $85 miles of roadin course of construction in Indiana, Illinois, and Iowa, which will enter into the Wabash system when completed, and nearly, if nut’ quite, 2,000 miles under contract or projected in Texas and Mexico. “Much speculation was indulged ina year ago as to what effect these consolidations would have upon St. Louis, many business- men fearing they would injure rather than benefit the city. "To show. effect on the erain trade of the city it is stated that last year there was received here of wheat 15,915,- 000 buskels; corn, 12,721,000 bushels; oats, 4,777,000 bushels; while pis year: the receipts hhave been, wheat, 15,580,000 bushels; corn, 21,575,000 bushels; oats, 5,150,000 bushels; an increase of 2,665,000 bushels of wheat; 7, - 000 bushels of corn; and $73,000 bushels of oats, - ‘° * Mr. Gould’s idea that the Mississipp! River from here to New Orleans should be used as an additional outlet for the grain of the West and Northwest is shown by the statement that the Missouri Pacific, the Wabash, and the Iron ‘Mountain Railrords have nearly half a imillian of stock in a barge line on the Lower Mississippi River, and that every effort is being made to make the river a sure means of. the exportation of grain to the seaboard and to Europe during all seasons of the year. Toinsure the latter result a very large ele- vator is being constructed on the river bank at Belmont, the southern terminus of a branch of the Iron Mountain Road, below which there is rarely any obstruction from ice. During the past two wevks half a mill- ion bushels of corn have been sent via the dron Mountain Road to Belmont and put on berges there for New Oriéans. The barge line referred to will for the resumption of navigation. in the spring have transporting facilities of two millions of bushels of bulk grain per month, and this is only one of the several barge lines in operation on the Lower. Mississippi River. The article also states that the elevator capacity of St. Louis will be nearly, if not aulte, coubled seitlita a Feu, and that it will je kept fully abreast o: growing grain trade of the city. RAILWAYS IN MEXICO. The members of the Committee on the or- ganization of a railroad system in Mexico who were appointed at a meeting held in New York Nov. 11 met Thursday pursuant to acall of the Chairman, President Grant. ‘The following gentlemen were present: Gen.. U.S. Grant, Sefior Matias Romero, Thomas Nickerson, President of the Mexican Central Rallroad; Edward D. Adams, of the Mex- ican‘Central and Sonora Railroads; C. P. Huntington, of the Southern Pacific Railroad Company; Jay Gould, President Missouri Pacific; ‘H. G. Marquand, of the Iron Mount- ain; John S. Kennedy, of the International & Great Northern; J. H. Work and Frank S. Bond, of the Texas Pacific: and J. B. Har- ison, of the Missouri, Kansas & Texas. Gen. ‘W. J. Palmer Mr. C.J. Woeris- hofer, of the Denver & Rio Grande and Mexican Construction Company, and Mr. Thomas Jefferson Coolidge, President of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fé, were also in- vited, but were unable to attend. z ‘The proceedings of the meet were, according to the New York World, as fol- lows: . ...Mr. Adams read the report of a majority of the Sub-Committee appointed at the previous meeting in this city on the 20th of Novomber last to the effect that the Sub-Committee found it impossible to harmonize the interests in- volve Mr. Adams added. by way of explana- tion, that the Mexican Central Ratlrod Company and the Sonora Railroad Company: were in favor of asubstantial union among all the interests Hkely to be affected by the organization of a general railway system in Mexico, but that the arties interested inthe Mexican Construction jom pany were indigposed to agree on any ‘plan tooking to that ond. Mr. Gould handed in paper which he desired should be taken as the minority report, and which presents the foi- jJowing basis for an agreement and pian of joint action: ao First—That all the parties who already hold cbarters from Mexico, together with the signers of the report, shall agree jointly to construct any road or roads required by the necessities of Mexico and by their own interests, each party having equal rights in all roads built under this agreement. Incase of this agreement, work to be continued on the three lines of railroad now building under existing Mexican charters, in accordance with the terms of those charters, until the proper modifications of those charters fhall have been asked and obtained from the Mexican Government, with a view to make them all conform to such other grants as the new combination may ask and obtain from Mexico, Ail vested interests and ail expendi- tures already made to be equitably provided for. any length of time, Aslongas there is more business than there are facilities for hi ing, the rates can easily be maintained, as it Would be no object for any of the lines to cut rates under such circumstances, but as s00n as business becomes dull and ‘there are Plenty of idle cars the indications are that fates will drop. The temper between the Pennsylvania and Baltimore & Ohio Rail- Toads is such that it will require but little ir- Titation to engage in a deathly struggle, aud it ls only the rush of business that has pre- Vented them thus far from cutting the rates. THE FREIGHT BLOCKADE. A prominent railroad man who is on a Wisitin this city informed a TrrmuNE re- Porter yesterday that the Eastern lines are sill considerably blocked up with freight. The causes of this trouble, he says, have been entirely misunderstood by the Western Pople. The belief among the people in the - West is that the trunk lines are wholly re- tponsible for the trouble by neglecting to Trovide in time sufficient transportation fa- elites The fact is, the New York trunk lines have had sufficent rolling-stock and Motive power at all tines, but they have unable to dispose of the business when Seitived in New York, there being a great ity of vessels, and consequently the tacks of the roads became blocked up. The Scarcity of vessels was caused by the stormy ‘Weather that has prevailed on the Atlantic for the last two months. The oldest Urriners coincide in stating that never before Was there such stormy weather on the At- lantic as “has steadily prevailed during the hast Pre months. and wi at added to rhe. dis. vas the fact he les nearly al the time blew from the west, preventing Yessels from making any headway, a majori- {yot them arriving in New York a month or tore behind time. Had the ocean vessels Srived and devarted on time as usual there ‘ould have been no such trouble as now i and the roads would find no ditticulty handling all the freight that offers.

ITEMS. Mr. J. W. Morse, General Passenger Agent of the Union Pacific Railroad Company at Omaha, is spending Christmas in this city. Mr. G. McClintock, Superintendent of the out-freight house of the Fort Wayne Rail- road in this city, received yesterday, from those under bis charge a handsome Christ- mas giftin the shape of a valuable watch | and chain. In the interview with Mr. H. E. Sargent, General Manager of the Northern Pacitic Railway Company, published in yesterday’s ‘TRIBUNE, errrors occurred in_some of the figures which need correction. Mr. Sargent made to say that his Company has con- tracted for 4,300 tons of steel rails to_ be used on the Montana and Washington Territory extensions, while it should have read that the Company, contracted for 43,000 tons of steel rails. The amvunt of new freight-cars now being constructed should have read 1,400 instead of fourteen. From a prominent official of the Erle Rallroad itis learned that this Company is now doing wonderfully well, and that it will soon be able to declare a dividend on its preferred stock. But for the fact that the managers thought it wiser policy to spend a portion of the surplus funds in im- proving the road and Increasing the transpor- tation facilities a dividend would have been declared before now. The earnings of the road up to Sept. 90, 18S0, amounted to about $18,700,000, ‘showing an increase over the previous year of about $2,750,000. The in- crease this year will be no “Tess than ‘$5,000,- 000, asthe earnings of theroad from Oct. 1 up to the present tine amount to an equiva- lent of about $23,000,000 for the year. a Cypriot—A Man Who Has “No Mua- Be Hey sic in His Sonl.°? ‘The Cypriot “hath nomnsic in his soul.” All bis ttle remaining desire for rhythm seems to bave settled into bis feet, and he dances furi- ously, until exhausted, a sort of jig to the end- less repetition of a few nondescript monotonous bars of rupid notes.

Hunting and Fishing at Chicago Forty= Odd Years Ago—Wolf, Bear, and Muskallonse Stories, ‘To the Editor of The Chicago Tribune. Cricaao, Dec.:24.~—I see in an article in your paper of Saturday, the lith of Decem- ber, that J. H. Wilson brought my name be-|} fore the public as one of the sportsmen of early days. 1t would be hardly just to my-; self to let this pass over without a littles qualification; for, though I must acknowl- edge that, like most Englishmen, in my‘ youthful days I was fond of al! kinds af field- sporting, yet never let pleasure interfere ; with business, as many young men dojnow- adays, but all my hunting and fishing “was done when I had nothing else to do. Both fishing and shooting, however, were very dif- ferent things -in those early days from what they are now, as the game was close at hgnil. Having my attention called to it by the artl- cele in question, I will jot down a few memo- ties of the past, When we came over from London; in-1833, we not only brought guns and rifies, but some good bred dogs. We had afoxhound, greyhound, setter, pointer, and spaniel. Such dogs were then very scarce in America; and they, of course, on our ar- rival here, at the very outskirts of civiliza- tion, soon brought us more or less in connec- tion with others who were fond of such sports. Qn our arrival in New York, March 18, 1833, it being too early for the canal-open- ing, we had to wait until the 22d of April, during which time we made several excursions to Brooklyn and Hoboken ‘with dogs and guns in search of game,—but without success, except the shooting of a few woodcock in New Jersey. Game of any kind seemed to be very scarce, although the country was then occupied by farmers and market-garde ners. When we arrived in Buffalo, where we staid some three or four months, from May to August, we had more sport. Pigeons were plenty in the woods, and fishing was really ‘splendid. Many a time did myself and friend walk three miles to the rapids at Black Rock, and return be- fore breakfast with thirty or forty pounds of fish hanging on a pole between us,—some of them weighing five or six pounds each; and, as we pulled them out of water, their scales shining and shimmering in the summer-sun, the very sight of them would have made an epicure’s mouth water. When we arrived in Chicago, in October, ‘we soon began to take part in the sport then in vogue in the village. The foxhound soon proved one of the best wolf-dogs in Chicago, Capt. B., of the garrison, whom we met at White Pigeon Prairie, while acknowledging the merits of our noble hound, yet declared he had adog in Chicago that would dive deeper, come up Grier, and catch more wolves than any dog in America; and ho would like: to seethe man that disputed it. I rather think he had been a little too near the corner of the bar-room where the bottles were kept, for his own good, when he made that asser- tion. But, on our arrival in Chicago, we found him a first-rate fellow, and his dog all he had claimed for him. He wasa mixture of lurcher and greyhound, of very powerful build, and, they said, had killed 150 wolves in his day. The way we broke our foxhound was Tather unique. We lived, that first winter, on the North Side, about the corner of Kinzie and Rush streets, It wasall heavily timbered down to the river-bank, between the North Branch and the lake, for some miles out. A neighbor having lost a calf, the wolves came prowling round, making night hideous with their quarreling and howling over its carcass; so we took possession of it, dragged it farther into the woods, and set two or three spring- traps around it, covering them from sight with the scattered leaves, The first night one trap was sprung, but with no wolf in it. ‘The second we were more successful, being | rewarded in the morning by seeing a large wolf caught by his hind leg, which he had nearly cut to the bone in his efforts to escapo; but we'were too elated at our success to trouble ourselves about that, We started back to the house, got a large bag, and a: rope, in the middle of which we put a slip- noose; and, one getting at each end of the rope, soon succeeded in getting it over his head and around his neck, which we began to squeezerather too tight for comfort, in spite of his snapping jaws, which might have been heard a block off. By each ona getting close to him, we easily lifted him into the sack, and carried bim home. After breakfast we crossed the river in a canoe, for the prairie about the corner of Wabash ave nue and Randolph street, accompanied by two dogs, the foxnound and greyhound. We | then turned the wolt. out, giving him hundred yards start before we let the di o after him. We made fast time for the | woods on the South Branch. The grey- hound, with his superior speed, soon caught him, and, biting his baunch, brought him,.do bay, when the foxhound, coming up, Kk hold of him by the neck, and never ga’ the fight until she laid him dead at our’ oper. ‘Tne greyhound, getting his jaw locked With the wolt’s, wanted no more of it, and stood calmly by while the other killed him.’ ‘his was my first affair with wolves.: They were then yery numerous. In crossing from Clark street to Clybourn bridge, through the woods, one time, I saw five of them devour- ing the remains of a cow. They looked so savage that, having no gun with me, I thought discretion the better part of valor, and made considerable of a detour to avoid them, though I never heard of them attack- ing any person. Loften came across three or four on the road between Elston’s and Lake street bridge, sitting in the road,. baymg at moon, . ‘The officers of the garrison, hdving noth- ing much to do, used to kill large numbers of them. They met every Wednesday, , with others, on horseback, and eight or ten dogs with them, in front of the old Sayganash, on Market street, then kept by Mayk Beaubien, who still may*be seen at times, playing the same old tiddle with which he used to electrify and amuse his patrons in the bar- room, forty-six or seven years since. Here they organized for the day’s hunt, ahd often killed five or six wolves before night. Once, when I was coming down in the stage from Milwaukee, the snow being very deep, and the sleighing excellent, as it had been for some weeks,—so,much so that Frink & Walke:’s horses had gfown fatand frisky, and consequently were in good running or- der,—there happened to be no one jn.the sleigh but myself, and the driver was hardly able to control his four spirited horses. When about six miles from town, we saw a Jarge wolf making his tedious way thrdugh the snow, evidently pretty well tired: ‘ott. He came into the track a short distante ahead of us, and laid down. I suggests the driver that we might have a tirshrde wolf-hunt, as I knew, after his law e&- perience, he would keep to the smooth trask as long as he could, and, when he turnedott, Iwasto jump off and kill him with an a: handle, a dozen of which happened to ein the sleigh. The horses soon increased, speed, seeming to enjoy itas much a3, selves, and got intoatull gallop af wolf, who rai asplendid race for a couple of miles, whon he turned out, and 1, in the excitembnt of the chase forgetting the greatspeed ativhich we were going, accord- ing to the pregram jumped from the sleigh, and rolled over and over in two feet of snow. When I recovered myself, the stage was halt a mile ahead and tho wolf, fifty feet be hind. me, lay. panting on ., SHOW, When I began to approach him he showed such a splendid row of teeth in his jaws; and Snapped them in such a significant manner, that [ thought I might as well leave him, as evening was coming on, and I had to walk two or three milesto the nearest house. The horses had got past all control, and never stopped until they got to Powell’s Tavern, their usual watering-place, about two and one-half miles from the village. The driver, however, put them on the back track to meet ,me,—expecting, as he said, to find me skinning the wolf; but in that he was nistdken, : Lremember one other instance of a wolf- hunt in which J was engaged. It was usual, in those early times, to cut our own hay on the prairie; and, having a couple of men mowwg tear Hardserable, as it was then galled, about Twenty-second street and Blue Island avenue, I drove out to get a load; and, when jogging along homeward, about the corner of Halsted and Twelfth streets; I saw alarge wolf digging away ata great rate after,a chipmunk, or something of the kind. Tstopped and shouted at him several times; but he was so intent upon what he was about —no doubg being hungry for his dinner—that he tagk ne notice of me. “Oh! oh! my fing fellow! 60 you won't leave, won’t you? I will jist.see what I can do to make you,” So, slipping, off my load, IL took one of the horses from the wagon, stripped her of the,harness except the idle. jumped on her back, and away [ went pell-mnell across the prairie after Mr. Wolf. Jt did not take dong for him to move when he saw what L was after, and I gave him most likely the hardest run he ever had in his life for a mile or more; and, had it not been for a neighbor- ing swamp, in which he took refuge, I should certainly have caught him, for } was. armed with @ -pitehfork, which I carried in my right hand ready to plunge it into him, and was: close upon his heels when ny horse’s sinking fetlock-deep in the soft eart! Warned ne to desist,—much against my will, Lassure you. Somuch for wolf-hunting and wolves. I pre- sume I shall never see another, except some poor imprisoned thing Iu an iron cage or in the parks. As for that bear story Mr. Wilson told about, it is actually true insotar us taking a alarge bear in Lake Michigan, or rather out of the lake,—not one, but about five miles from shore, northeast of Waukegan, I was going up to Milwaukee at the time, in one of the large steamers, and was sitting reading in the cabin, when the Captain rushed in evidently very much excited, snatched his glass from the tuble, and, in answer tomy inquiry of what was the inatter, said there was something in the lake about two wiles ahead, aud they could not make out what it was. Of course my book was dropped ina moment, and £ hastened after the Captain to the bow of the poat, where I found most of the few passengers on board anxiously trying to make out this strange object. Those used to sailing can form some idea of the commotion caused on board a eratt when anything unusual is sighted. The Captain, fter examination by glass, first said it was a horse, then ea deer, and, on getting nenrer, de- elared it to be ao bear, and decided at once that he would catelt lim at all hazard, and, calling for volunteers, found no want of men willing to undertake the task, So the small bont was lowered, with four stal- wart sailors at the oars, the Mate at the helm, and a man at the bow, with a rope, in which he made a slip-novse. ‘They started for poor Bruin, wl.o, when he found they were after hin, made most excellent time for the middle of the lake, and for a mile or two led them a splendid. race before they came up with him, After two or three at- tempts, the man at the bow threw thé fatal noose over his head. Directly the bear found he was caught, le turned and made for the boat, evidently intending to carry the war into the enemy’s camp; but they were too quick for him, evidently not liking the idea of having him for a passenger. So they turned and rowed for the steamer with all theirinight. This brought poor Bruin’s nose under the water, and, by the time the: reached the steamboat, which had been fol- Jowing pretty close in the wake of the pur- suers, he was almost drowned. The rope as thrown lo us on deck,on to which we soon hauled him, and thep held a council-of- ‘war as to what should be done with him, 1t was at first suggested, that..he should be chained up, and a large chain was brought round -~-hig- neck: ‘Then: ladies .came to look at him, and exclaimed, .“O the horrid great creature! do kill him!” Some person standing by put his hand on the an- innal’s head, and said he was fast recovering, and, ifhe was not killed, would soon be master of the boat. On which a bevy of female and some mnie voices cried out to the Captain to have him killed at once, Ona butcher offering to do the job, the Captain consented, and the bear was doomed to have his throat cut and die as ignominious a death as any common porker. He was a noble fel- low, black and tan, seven or eight feet in length, and, when he was skinned, showing such claws and muscles that the volunteers rejoiced that he did not make good his entry into the boat, for he would certainly have driven them into the water if they had escaped his claws and teeth As to the farmer driving him into the lake, as related by J. L. W., it is as much news to me agtoyou. Onmy return. by land two days after, I made several inquiries, and was told he was driven into the lake the morning be- fore; but L always doubted the truth of his swimming in the water all night and half the next day; so ain inclined to the opinion that hhe was driven in that same morning, and, being watched from the shore, put well out into the lake for safety. Certain it is that when first seen by us he was swimming from shore, and was full five milesout, Now. for the fish story: It is a fact that I speared an extraordinarily large muskallonge about four or five miles up the North Branch of the river. “The North Branch of the river!” think 1 hear some one exclaim; “that horrid, stinking cesspool of filth and turbid water! A nice place to fish!” But you must remem- ber it was not always so. “In those early times it was a clear, sparkling stream, with quite a strong current, especially near the dam, five miles from the city, over which the water rippled and ran, making a soft. sooth- Ing, murmuring sound heard on that siill winter’s night for a considerable time before we reached it. “With a lantern at the head of the canoe, in which we burnt hickory-bark stripped from the trees on the bank, there was no_ difficulty ‘in seeing the fish at the bottom of the river, even in six feet of water.- 1 always sup- posed that fish was the largest ever taken in these waters, and still clalin it to be so, not- withstanding Friend Wilson asserts that Capt. Luther Nichols speared one a few pounds heavier than mine. The one I caught measured five and a half feet in length; aud Dr. John Tempie, who then lived on Lake street, between Wells and Franklin, being down at the river, catching sight of it on the opposit side, took the trouble to get a canoe and cross the river to see it, remarking that it was the largest he had ever seen, and many times after said the same. When I first saw it it had two mates of about the same — size, all swimming in a row. I thrust the spear into the middle of its body; but it would not hold, and slipped off. Fimme- diately dropped down the river, jaiinin, tw the friend who was paddling, *O such an immense fish! drop down stream quick; we musthot lose It.” After replenishing the. fire at the'Head of the boat we again aseend- ed the river, and soon heard the poor creat- ure blowing like a porpoise. He was swim- ming dqwn stream, with his head wellout of the water, into which I again threw the spear, and; after a great struggle, succeeded in dragzitg him into the canoe; and even -then It flgundered rbout so that we were nearly upset, and it took several blows of the hatcy et upon its head before I could quiet - . Several fimes in the spring of ’3¢ I fished on the Lake with the garrison-officers, who used to furnish men_to do the work, and a peor boat, and we often made famous hauls; ut it was with Mr. Eiston’s seine we fished, and not the garrison’s. He brought two of them from England, and I was then living with him, I suppose it was from the cireum- stance of the suldiers dragging ‘the net that Mr, Wilson’s informant concluded it be- jonged to them. I well remember an old carpenter, who worked at the Government pier, making a net next winter, but forgot it was the old man nicknamed “ Pop-Corn.” I might continue to write numberless tales of old times, but have trespassed on your time already too long. 1 will give some items as to deer-hunting and prairie-chicken- shooting at some future time, It was the latter sport Lused to enjoy most for years an some = ter, Cuas.

By Telegraph to New York Herald Saw Francisco, Dec. 23,—For some time back society here has been engaged in dis- cussing the rumored contract of marriage betweon Sir Thomas Hesketh, Baronet, and Miss Flora Sharon. At6o’ctock this even- inga speciai train conveyed trom Fourth and Townsend streets a gay party of the special and iutimate frends of the bride and groom to Belmont, the country residence of Senator Sharon, where everything about the palatial edifice isgorgeous. The young bride has had created for her the nandsomest and most costly trousseau which Paris has ever sent to San Francisco, and its details were the theme of enthusiastic admiration, | Miss Bessie Sedgwick, a young lady of our city, a very intimate and dear friend of the bride, and Mr, Frederick W. Sharon, the bride’s brother, were the bridesmaid and grooms man. There was no attempt at dis- play in the wedding ceremony; but the great drawing-room was a picture of feminine beauty and elegant toilets, and the other sex were everything comme il-faut. At first it was Archbishop Alemany, of the Roman Catholic Church, who was to sol- enmize the union, but as Sir Thomas was by all his surroundings and habit an Episco- palian, the Rev. Mr, Beers, of ‘'rinity Church, was asked to officiate. At 7 o'clock another special train conveyed to Belmont a still larger number of guests invited to the recep- mn. ‘The Hesketh family, as far as record fur- nishes it, was founded in the twelfth cen- tury by Richard de Heskayth, Lord of Hes- kayth, Ruiford, ete. In the sixteenth cen- tury one of his descendants—Sir_ Robert Heskayth—was knighted by Henry VILL for his valor in Ftance. In 1761 the Baronetcy wag added to the family in the person of Sir Thomas Mesketh, who had for wife Harriet, the daughter and co-heir of Astley Cowper, Esq., cousin and favorit correspondént of the ‘and-niece of William, owper. In 1867 Sir Thomas an ‘Thomas George, his second son, were au- thorized to take the surname of Fermore be- fore that of Hesketh, and to take the arms of both houses. The gentleman now the special subject of this sketch was born May 9, 1849, and bears the title of Sir'Thomas George Fermore Hesketh, Baronet of Ruiford Hall, County of Lancashire, England, and is a Captain in the Second {Lancashire militia. Inberiting a very fiue baronial estate, the present Sir Thomas has as yet—only in his Bist peat had littte opportunity of distin- guishing himself like some of his great pro- genitors, He left Southampton in January of Hast year in his steam-yacht, the Lanca- shire Witch, for a tour around the world, aecompanied by a single friend, a Mr. Sad- lier. When at Sandy Point, on the coast of Africa, he heard of the defeat of the English army at Isandula, and immediately sailed for Port Natal. He burried inland and placed himself at the service of Col. Buller, the regular cavalry, and served as an aid- de-camp on his staff during the war, princi- pally on scouting and reconnoltering duty; was present at the battle of Ulundia, anc was with Wood’s column at the time of the death ot the Prince Imperial of France. He afterward sailed for Zanzibar, thence to India, Japan, and over to this city. Since he arrived here he went to Behring Sea and the Sandwich Islands, and last August, on hearing of the shipwreck of a portion of the crew of an American bark near the Sorrocco Islands, he immediately dispatched the Witch to their relief, it they could be found, which unfortunately was not that successful. His liberality, vim, and thoughtfulness won for him on the Pacific Coast the gratitude of everybody. In person he is tall, free from all display, and has cultivated repose to the highest degree. There is no snobbishness or giltabout him, He takes from San Fran- cisco the daughter of Mr. William, Sharon, Senator from Nevada, a young lady of twenty summers, of whom her intimate acquaintances speak in the highest terms for her sweetness of temper, amiability, and kind heart, who will no doubt wear grace- fallythe title of Lady Hesketh;of Rufford ail, ‘The newly-wedded couple will return in a day or two to the Palace Hotel, and occupy the roonis prepared for President Hayes, and, if nothing prevents, will leave for New York onthe 28thinst. —. : THEODOSIA BURR. The Mystery of Her Death at Sea in 1813—Théd Story of a Dylug Pauper in a Michigan Poorhouse—He Declares that Hor Vessel Was Captured by Pirates, and Sho Compelied with All the Crew to Walk tho-Plank. Correspondence Detroit Post and Tribune. BATTLE CREEK, Mich., Dec. 21.—Last win- ter the Post and Tribune representative was in Cass County on business, and visited the County Poorhouse, situated near Cassopolls. He discovered evidence from the death-bed confession of an old sailor that Theodosia Burr Alston, only daughter of Aaron Burr, and wife of Gov. Joseph Alston of South Carolina, was murdered by pirates while re- turning to New York on a visit to her father. The facts were printed in the local papers at the time, and were extensively copied by the press of the Eastern and Southern States. Your correspondent has since then received many letters of inquiry regarding the sad fate of this brilliant woman, and has had correspondence with parties in the East who knew of the Burr family, has carefully gath- ered all the facts possible bearing on the case from all quarters, and he has again Visited the Cass County Poorhouse to obtain a imore detailed narrative of what was revealed there. The results are given herewith: : Aaron Burr was descended from the rigid old Puritans of New England. His mother’s father was the celebrated Jonathan Ed- wards, and his father wus the President of Princeton College. He was born Feb. 6, 1756, and left an orphan at an early age, his father and mother dying at about the same time. He was placed under rigid tutors, who. did their duty, and, being a brilliant scholar, was prepared to enter -college at the unusual age of 11 years, He was alwa: fond of adventures, and, while still a gout joined the Federal army. On the 1th of anuary, 1782, he was admitted to the Bar, and in the following Sul was married to Mrs. Theodosia Prevost, a French Jady, and a widow with two children, one of them 1 years of age. This lady was full ten years his senior. At Albany, N. Y., in, the first year of their marriage, was born Col. Burr’s only legitimate child, a daughter, whom-he pamed ‘Theodosia, after her mother. Her childhood was spent at the rural home with her mother, while her father was in New York practicing his profession, in which his success was brilliant. Her father’s frequent letters to her and to her mother show the great interest he constantly manifested in their welfare, and the means he took to further it. In 1794, when Theodosia was only about 11 years of age, her mother died. Her care and education then fell entirely to her father, and he was so excellent a tutor and guardian that she at the age of 12 was reading Horace and Terence in the original Latin, spoke French and German, and read Greek with ease, In fact, she was regarded as a prodigy in her neighborhood. She re- warded her father’s solicitude by becoming the best educated woman of her time and country, as well ag bne of the most estinia- ble. She continued to be mistress of his home till 1801, when she was married to Joseph Alston, of South Carolina, Theo- dosia was then about 18, and her husband gz "years of age. ‘They removed to South Carolina, greatly to the grief of her fond father, and in due time a boy—her only child—-was born, whom she named after his Te eee much Aaron Burr thought of his daughter may be gleaned from the letter whieh he wrote her the night before his duel with Hamilton, when he did not know whether he should ever see her again. This letter concluded with these touching words: Tam greatly indebted to you, my dearest Theodosia, fur a very great portion. of the happiness I have enjoyed in this life. You have completely satistied all that my heartand affections had hoped or even wished, and I have no doubt will’ attain all that my ambi- tion or vanity had fondly imagined, Let your son be proud dhat he had you for a r. dea? a ia mane. on Barr's fight from justice, to es- cape the vengeance off the law; of hig gnbse- quent arrest for hizh treas and his hasty leave of the country, cuncculed un slipvourd, 2 e together with the gross immorality of his life, nothing need be said in the article, which pertains to the life of his daughter Pheodo- sia,—a creature as different from her parent us the sunshine js from inidnight, ‘The love which she bore for her father, and her anx- ious solicitude for his welfare, after his fight to Europe, so worked upon her mind thather health was affected. Burr pecame anxious at this, and planned a voyage to London for her, so that they might meet again; but ner condition improving she did not go. The anxious solicitude which she felt for her fa- ther is evidenced in the frequent correspond- ence which passed between them during the many long months of his absence. It wasshe wuo-first told him that it would be safe to re- turn, This he did in 1812, resuming the prac- tice of law in New York, Within six weeks after his return he received the sad news from Theodosia that her little son—the de- light of father, mother, and grandfather— Was dead. ‘The mother’s health then lan- gulshed, She wilted some montns at her home in the South for a safe and suitable opportunlty to journey northward, to draw strength and hope from asource that had never falled her—her father’s inspiring pres- ence. But her husband was now Governor of the State and General of the militia, The country was at war with Great Britain, and he could not leave his post. She would have come alone by land in her own carriage, but their coachman was a drunkard and untrust-. worthy, It was resolved at last that she should go by sea, and her father sent a physician from New York to superintend the embarkation and attend heron her voy- age, fur she was sadly emaciated and very weak, Her passage was taken in 3 small schooner named the Patriot, which, aiter a privateering cruise, had put into Charleston and was about to return to New York with her guns stowed below. She was coni- manded by an experienced Captain and had for sailing master an old New York pilo' noted for his skill and courage. * The vessel was famous for her suiling qualities, and it was confidently expected that she would per- form the voyaze to New York in five.or six days. She: sailed from Charleston with a fair wind on the last day but one of the year 1312, Theodosia, her physician, and her maid occupying the princi; abin. he Patriot was never seen again. The Agonies of suspense endured by the husband and the father, the eager letters written by each to tell the other she had not been heard from, the daily hope of her arrival, and the daily despair,—all can be better imagined than described, For months the agonized father frequented the Battery, still cherishing a nope that the missing vessel might appear. Ilg wrote to hig son-in-law: When [ realized the truth of her death the world became a blank to me and lite has lost all {ts value. I feel severed from the whole human race.” It was the generally accepted theory at the time of the sad oecurrence that ‘the vessel was wrecked off Cape Hatteras In a storm, and that all on board were lost; but. although nothing had ever appeared to contradict this till the discovery made at the Cassopolis Poor- House, and published iu the local newspapers some months ago, subsequent investization has shown that the probabilities point to tha truth of the last story. In alittle cemetery attached to the County- House at Cassopolis is a plein stone bearing the name of Benjamin F. Burdick, an old one-legged sailor, who died and was buried there. By a naval accident he had lost one Jeg, and could only hobble about. He was a typical old salt, rouzh and hard looking. Usually he was very sullen and morose, sit- ting apart trom the other ininates of the house, and apparently meditating. A short time before his death, febling that he had not jong to live, he called to his bedside the wife of the Methodist minister, Mrs. Parks, of Cassopolis, and in the presence of three other witnesses gave the following deathbed con- fession, which to make the story complete we ive entire, as now it was relat by the oor-House keeper: Ile stated that he knew his end was near; that he had buta short time to live; and he had aterrible secret which so preyed upon his mind that he felt he must relate it before his death. When young he was on boarda pirate ship; and on the 3d day of January, 1813, they came across the Patriot. Chase was immediately given and the vessel capt- ured, and everything of value taken out and transferred to their vessel, They then com- pelled the Captain, crew, and every Bs E ger on board to walk the plank into iy and all perished. The vessel was then scut- tled and sunk, He said that there was one dady on board who was a beautiful appear- Ing, intelligent, and cultivated person, who gave her name as Mrs. Theodosia Burr Alston. When her turn came to walk the fatal plank she asked for a few moments’ time, which was grey, Tauted her. . She appeared pale yet beautiful as she retired to her berth and changed her apparel, appear- ing again on deck ina few moments clad in ure white garments, and with a Bible in her hand she announeed that she was ready, She appeared as calm and composed as if she were at home, and not a tremor crept over her frame nor did any pallor overspread her fentures as she walked toward her fate, As she was taking the fatal steps, she folded her hands over her-busom and raised her eyes to Heaven. She fell and sank without a murmur orsizh. “It was my unhappy lot,’” said the dying man, “to be delegated by the Captain to pull the plank from beneath her, IL would give my whole life to recall that one act. Hardened sinner that I was then, ny heart rebelled against murdering the poor innocent woman; but had I refused death would have been my lot. I shall never tor- get the penect, confiding faith which her eyes Gs heen agshe gazed up into Heaven when about to take the fatal step. Her pale face has haunted nie ever since, and I see it new as plainly as 1 did on that terrible day.” Before Burdick.died the old crippled and diseased sailor repeated this same confession to other inmates of the house, saying that he could not die until he had freed his soul by making this cunfession. His grave may now be seen near the place where hespent his last days. The above facts were narrated to me by the keeper of the poorhouse, and there are now living witnesses to the sailor’s deathbed confession. ENGLISH LAND QUESTION. English Tenants Beginning to Take a Hint from the Success of Parnell in Ireland. Correspondence New York World. Lonnon, Dec. 11.—The farmers are very well contented with the mild season, for it has enabled them to make good progess with their sowing, and as it happens that the price of wheat has considerably advanced of Jate, the British agriculturist is now inclined to think that his case is not so desperate as it appeared atew months ago. Asuccession of | good harvests would at least postpone the threatened revolution in the landed system. For it must not be supposed that the Irish tenant-farmers are the only representatives of their class who consider themselves ill- used. An ominous Incident took place one day this week at the annual met- ing of an_ Assoclition known ag the Farmers’ Alliance. Mr. Bolton, a farmer of Sussex, advised the Alliance to “take a les- son” from the Land League in Ireland. He not only demanded the “three F's,” but also the abolition of unfair tithes, and “some reasonable power of purchasing their hold- ings when they had lived upon them for soiue considerable length of time.” As the chief Radical paper, the Pall Mall Guzette, very truly says, “this sort of talk from Sus- sex hasa significance which can hardjy be mistaken.” -1t was scarcely to be supposed. that the enormous success of the anti-rent agitation in Ireland would be altogether lost sight of in England. Thetenants, it appears, haye only to combine against their landlords to escape from the necessity of paying any rent at all. They may count upon public sywpathy, the support of the press, and the connivance of the Government. The taws, which once trightened people so much, may safely be set at defiance, and if the agitation bo pushed far enough the Government will set to work to alter or abolish any law which is particularly obnoxious, the lesson of the Jrish agitation, and it will not be lost upon the discontented classes in England, The Sussex farmer only spoke out a little early in the day. : English landlords have thus far shut their hed to all danger, secure in the confidence that the Jaw would at ull times afford them ample protection, But the events of the last three months in Ireland havea little tended to open their eyes. Law there is the same as it is here, and what has it proved tobe worth? All ordinary means of enforcing it have broken down, and the party which governs the country declares that no ex- traordinary means shail be called into ex. istence, Why may not the same combina- tion of circumstances arise in England ? What is to prevent it from arising? Some of the landlords think that “public feeling” is on their side. There never was a greater delusion. The public do not care one straw for them or their interests. Many of them have made bitter enemies of their tenantry and neighbors, and they ought to see.fur themselves that nobody would have any motive for trying to shield them from the fate which duns overtaken the Irish and owner. People who have no property al not yartioulerly sensitive about tha rights of property. ‘Three years ago & member of ‘arliament decla: that the time had come when the rights of landowners should be curtailed. |The member who said this ts now n Cabinet Minister, and oneof the two Cab- inet Ministers who control the policy of the Government,—Mr. Chamberlain. Can it be said that the landowners have had no warn ing of the day of reckoning which is being made ready for them? Do they suppose th: the Radical party. all-powerful as it now is, gives its support and influence to the Irish agitators because they love Ireland? If they do suppose so, they almost deserve to lose their great stakes in the game for their blind- ness and stupidity. Sometimes little incidents take place which seem to show that the aristocracy and the landowners have no more notion. of what is foine on under their noses than if they were iving inclosed within enchanted walls. Such an incident has taken place tiis week. ‘Tha Somerset family decided to put up to auction the effects of the old Duchess, lately de- ceased, and with them certain articles be- longing to the Duke, her husband. Among these “august” relics were a lot of trumpery dresses, shawls and cloaks, and a number of old toothbrushes, for which the public wera expected to compete eagerly because a Duke had nsed them! That the English people ara snobs they Bave often been told by their own writers, and that they dearly lovea lord wa all know; but that they should be anxious to clean their teeth with a Duke’s discarded toothbrushes one cannot quite bring oneself to belief. As a matter of fact, the Somerset family miscalculated the strength of popular reverence for the “ upper classes.” So strong & manifestation of disgust was provoked by the exhibition in the auction-room that the sacred toothbrushes were withdrawn fromm the sale. One would be interested to find out, if were possible to do so, what propor tion of the English aristocracy share the be- Hef of the Somerset family that the bulk ot the people ure ready even In the present day them ?
