Praise from Sir Hubert. Ex-Postmaster General Horatio King, himecif @ journalist of experience, writes as follows in regard to Tag Star in its new shape: ” Rye Bracu, N.H., July 11, 1881. Dear Sir: Uhave just received Saturday's Eve: ING Star, and as I was one who made an earne appeal to you for larger type I cannot withho my approbation of the greatly improved charac- ter of the paper in its new, beautiful dress. And what a glorious thing it is that you have been mercifully permitted to ead this number with .the welcome words, “Good Cheer,” touching the all-absorbing matter of the President's state of health. Althouzh some of the telegra] preteen are in advance | of Tue Stan, we daily await its reports with breathless anxiety, knowing how careful you are | to obtain the most reiiable information. "In our | intense anxiety we have seat several times for | Rews of the President to the cable office, within a mile and a half of our boarding-house, and we have been greatly cheered by always receiving good news. God grant it may never be other- wise! Truly, Horatio Kine. ‘The Infernal Gong. Ellitor Star:—tt is of such recent date as to be fresh in memory that commen consent decreed the blare of the oyster horn, and the importu- nate cries of the nomadic huekster, to be such nuisance as “worketh hurt or inconvenience to | another”—and the fish-horn reposeth: while the | huckster silently pursues his mysterions occu- | pation. Even the newsboys ery their papers, | with bray as soft as any cooing dove. Yet, by | the greatest of all solecisms, the greatest nuis- ance is unabated. While Ladmire Mr. Ward's energy, I protest against the clamorous appeal of the infernal gong which announces the coming of fresh Al- derney milk; and I suggest to the Commission- | ers two courses—either suppress that nuisance | of the milk carts, or else authorize Mr. Ward to | Procure Barnum’s calliope, so that the din, if | deafening, may at least havesome compensatory feature. Crrize: — ee A SERIOUS AssavLt.—To-day, in the Police Court, Joseph Omlin and Aloysius Waters were | charged with an assault and battety with intent | to kill George Maag. Mr. Coyle stated that he understood that Maag’s skull was fractured, but he though that he conid be present next Satur- day, and asked that the case be contitfued until Saturday, under $500 bonds each, which was done. ah eg Oe Young Pagh’s Fate. | with fifty soldiers on Sunday from a hunt aft | the Apaches. He reports that on the 7th inst., | six leagues south of Lucer, he found the dead bodies of a man and woman. Y of the 26th battalion was killed and two ser- vants wounded, but escaped. The Ind | burned the carriaze and took the horses. The | people who went from the carriage to bu | body of the stage driver found the body of Thomas K. Pugh terribly mutilated and shot | three time: | WAS HE THE VICTIM OF DISGUISED ROUG | A special to the Cincinnati Enquirer from De yer, July 10th, says: Rumors now current in | New Mexico indicate that the capture last week of Thomas K. Pugh, of Cincinnati, near El Paso, is assuming an extremely sensational character. | Jt is not supposed now that he was captured by the Apaches at all, but by a gang of villians dis- guised as Apaches, who had a motive to put {him out of the way. It is known that young Pugh had secured a contingent claim of the Mexican government upon twenty miles s | or four hundred square miles of land, with fifty thousand head of cattle, for which he | was to pay a specific sum at the end of a time designated. Mr. Pugh got all his papers ex ecuted properly, and went to New York and ut the matter into the hands of a broker {to sell for him. It is believed the land is not only good for grazing purposes, but is rich in the precious minerals. Mr. Pugh is re- ported to have secured the services of Henry Altman, a broker in New York City, to sell this Mexican for him. After perfecting arrange ments with his broker, Mr. Pugh proceeded at once to New Mexico and, arriving a El Paso, was astonished to find Altman there beforé him. It is rumored that Altman was trying to nego- te for Pugh’s claim and beat him out of it.and | that Pugh before taking the stage in which he was captured had high words with Altman. It is also further regarded as incredible that the Apaches would allow him to drop a letter in the Toad saying, Nave been captured by the Apaches.” And it is believed that such an act is supposable only of disguised robbers who had |@ purpose and a motive for taking his life and meant to do it. These rumors are rife now, and a most searching investigation will verify or dis- pel them. ee Cuban Conspirators, | CAPTURB OF A SECRET SOCIETY BY THE Po-| A telegram from Havana, July 12, says: A se- t society of outlaws, calling themselves the ‘anigos,” heretofore composed of negroes only, extended to the white population. The po” ice surprised a meeting of thirty-five members of the society while they were swearing in a new | member, arresting thein and capturing all the | apparatus and paraphernalia belonging to the organization. Thirty-three of the number were white. Great indignation is manifested at the | existence of such a society, and it is expected that the government will act summarily in the matter. An attempt was made to burn the San- ta Catalina Convent with the aid of petroleum, but the plot was discovered in time to prevent disaster. The incendiary being detected drew a revolver on his would-be captor and escaped. = = A Youse Woman's Fars.—A telegraph to the New York Herald from Prospect House, Niagara Falls, Ont., July 12, says:—To-day the body of an unknown woman was found floating in the river just below the American Falls. It has the appearance of being that of a dark complex- ioned young ladyaabout twenty years of age? finely formed, and haying beautiful long dark hair. The body was destitute of clothing, ext cept an undergarment, a pair of red stockings and low cut shoes. A plain gold ring encircled the third finger of the left hand. The corpse was in a perfect state of preservation, showing that it had not long been in the warter. It is hardly possible that the deceased had come over the falls, as no body has yet been found that came over either falls without having been more or less badly mangled by the rocks and the heavy weight of water falling upon it. Still there is no reason to believe it got into the water from the bank below, consequently the case remains a mystery. The body is in the hands of the authorities, and an inquest will be held to-morrow. ee Tue Comet Nor Divipep.—A telegram from Rochester, July 12, says: Professor Lewis Swift, of the Warner Observatory, says that it is the opinion of astronomers generally that the comet now seen is identical with the one discovered in Brazil on May 29, the news of which was cabled to Europe by Dom Pedro. It is probably a new comet, although Professor Chandler, of Cam- bridge, who computed its orbit, found it to differ little from that of the comet of 1807. There is no division of the comet. Letters claii the discovery and the Warner prize of €200 continue to come in by the hundred. These letters are carefully examined, and it is redthat the announcement of the prize award will soon be made. Waat Tne Comer 1s.—Mr. and Mrs. Smiley were sitting on the back stoop taking in the comet. “Whatever this mat signify, Ic!

A to the N.Y. Heraid, from Lon- don, July 12, says: “Orange demonstrations for celebrating the anniversary of the Battle of the | Reyne took place in various parts of Ireland to- | day. At one demonstration. near Newry, a res- Iition was passed declaring a firm determina- | tion to resist all attempts to destroy the uaity of | the British Empire.
