An old friend of the | Union Springs oarsman said yesterday that he | would certainly be there, and that it is expected that he will row for the single scuil prize, a gold medal presented by the mayor of Toronto, and $1,500. Hanlan, Riley, Hosmer, Plaisted, Ross and half a dozen oarsmen are entered for this Tacing event. Courtney is represented to be fretting about the harsh things said against him, and he seems to be anxious to retrieve his repu- tation.

SHINKEL'S TRIPARTITE AGREEMENT AND FEIGNED EXHAUSTION. Last evening’s issue of the Ithaca, N. Y., Journal contains the following: ‘Information has gradually been oozing out and- percolating through this community for some days that Shinkel had arranged before leaving Ithaca to throw his races as Cornell might row after the first one. It appears that a regular tripartite agreement was made before the crew left Ithaca. Their agreement was to the effect that the crew should win the Visitors’ Cup if possible, but if not admitted to this, to strain every nerve for victory in the Stewards’ race—this in order to boom Cornell into favor with betting men and elevate her in the pool-box; that after winning the first race every sul juent one should be systematically thrown by Shinkel, the high contracting parties being Shinkel, Mi- chael Carey, who keeps a drinking place at No. 23 East State street, and whose prospective brother-in-law Shinkel is, and Samuel W. Reed, wholesale liquor dealer, Clinton Block, North Cayuga street. Shinkel is said to have taken with him to England $800, although it was well known here that he had no money of his own. The program was that Carey should go to Eng- land to do the betting, while Reed was to sup- ply the capital, and Shinkel the treachery. On the afternoon ot the embarkation at New York ‘OHN RB.

Shinkel wrote to Carey before the crew had started for Vienna irom London: ‘Bet that Cornell will lose Vienna race.’ This advice was re- ceived here from three to four days before the Vienna race was pulled, and in the face of the freely expressed judgment of all Eng- lishmen that the Americans had a certain thing at Vienna. it was acted upon to the best of the ability of the conspirators here, although they were unable to get many or large Wagers. It is now believed that Shinkel did not rely alone, or perhaps at all, on his agreed share ofwhat hisfriends might be able to gather in here, but that he himself made bets against the crew in Vienna, or sold out for a lump sum to Viennese or London gamblers. It isrumored that in Shingel’s baggage criminating proof was found by his infuriated associates, who suspect- ed him of simulating the exhaustion which lost them the Vienna race. _It is also stated that the club of Vienna furnished the Cornell boys proof positive of their betrayal by Shinkel. ‘The fact that he was publicly accused where he could best defend himself, and that he has not peep tan of protest, is placed to his dis- Tf General Arthur found it necessary to act temporarily as President he would undoubtedly endeavor to carry out General Garfield’s policy and wishes as nearly as possible, and would make no removals or appointments not abso- lutely required by the public service.

From the Vicksburg Herald (ind. dem.) At this very time doubt and uneasinessprevail about the United States Senatorship. There are grave fears that Mr. Lamar will be beaten, not because a majority of the party do not favor his re-election, but by intrigue et te of power within the democratic ty. All demo- crats are entitled to a fair show, and the candi- dates ofthe party, if they wish a united and harmonious support, should give every assur- ance to thatend. This has not beam done, and the doubt and uneasiness increase. A Youna Wire's Surcrpe.—In the aristocratic ¥illage of St. Cloud, on 01 Mountain, N.J., Francis Dudley is a neighbor of Gen. George B. McClellan. Dudley is a Yale graduate, aged twenty-five, is of the firm of WH. Dudiew & -» Of New York, and belongs to a wealthy klyn family. ‘In June, 1 ), he was married at St. to Miss Daisy Fuller.

What a town it is! How lange, how dismally empty! How it squats lke an immense alli- | gator half in and half out of a swamp, modelied | ! en Amsterdam, and reminding one of Venice! | What miles and miles of “prospects,” or, as the French would say, “boulevards;” what ‘endless of wide, open spaces and magnificent atan of long straight lines of walls and rows oftrees and Intermnable avenues, con- | trived, as it were to allow the town ample room | to run out of town! A city of churches, con- vents and palaces, of steeples and monuments, of gold, bronze, graniteand marble, of buildings in all styles, Europeanand Asiatic, quaint origi- | nals, or indifferent copies, many of them grand and massive, yet strewn over space at haphazard, | on a perfectly flat. surface, grouping nowhere; nowhere laid out for effect or with an eye to the picturesque. A town of princes, to all appear- ance, or of wealthy bankers or traders, —_ | ; the homes of the poor, if at all existing, carefully hidden out of sight; the whole covering scores of miles of-ground, a maze of isles and islets, of bridges and embankments, of river, and branches of river and canals. | Itis a town made by one man, made on a aes and fora purpose; and when that is said all aid. It was not one of the cities of God's own building; consequently, it may be feared, hot one of those that abide. Its foundation was suggested by a great thought, and it turns out | now to have been a mistake. } It is questionable, indeed, whether Peter the Great ever meant St. Petersburg for a perma- nent court residence and capital. As late as | 1724, seven months before his death, it was not here, but at Moscow that he celebrated the cor- onation of his wife Catherine; and if he spent much of his time on this spot, it was chiefly be- | cause a work of such-magnitude as he had un- dertaken require the master’s incessant pres- | ence. For the rest, all that Peter wanted here wasa port, and he could under the circum- stances find no better. He built on conquered ground out of all the boundaries of Old Russia, amid a Finnish population, the former subjects of Sweden. He drafted his workmen among the serfs of all his provinces, and wasted 100,000 human lives in the achievement, labor being as cheap for him as it ever was for the kingly builders of the Egyptian pyramids. The site was @ Swamp—an unhealthy swamp, so unsafe that some of its finest monuments—the mono- lith column of Alexander I, and the isaac church—show in their deep crevices the rapid decay of which the treacherous ground under- neath is dooming them; so unsafe, besides, as to be subject to inundations, like the ground of ancient Rome, for the city has already been de- structiyely flooded eight times since 1703, the | date of its foundation, and even last year the water rose more than ten feet above the ordi- nary level, driving people from their cellars and basement floors, as well as from the villas and | gardens of the lower islands. There were even for many years ominous speculations as to the | possibility of the whole town being submerged. | “The Guif of Finland,” Peter reasoned, “runs | westward from St. Petersburg, in the direction | whence the heaviest storms always blow. Im- | agine a storm to set in from the west, in April | or May, when the ice is breaking up, and sup- | pose that this should happen just ‘when the | water in the river isat the highest. The masses | of ice blown in from the sea would meet those | that float down from the land side, and the-col- | lision between the two opposite masses could | not fail to overwhelm the whole city, with its ges palaces, when princes and beggars would drowned. promiscuously, like Pharach and his host in the Red Sea.” The town, however, has already stood 178 years, and the catastrophe seems indefinitely adjourned. Asnosuch combination of storm, high water and great thaw as croakers conjured up has yet occurred, sanguine people have be- come perfectly skeptical as to the possibility of the dreaded contingency. He Had His Choice, From the Cincinnati Commercial. “ Walter,” said one of our pork merchants to his sixteen-year-old hope, “I don't mind how short you have your coats cut, so long as they | strike you somewhere below the shoulder blades; | neither does it trouble me to see you choking | yourself to death in a pair of tight pants. Nor am I much concerned in how many scarf pins you | sport each day, or how large a bundle you carry to the laundry every twenty-four hours. Though the sight of your moustache in its feeble efforts for life makes me faint, yet can bear up even under that; but let me ever catch you wearing your watch chain on the outside of your coat and you'll go to work in the store putting ap groceries before you can say ‘quite too utter;’ do you hear me ?* BaLtmwore Brevirres.—John A.

Near the tow® of Lennox is a pond, covering 400 acres, presenting the ap- pearance of a swamp from the unhealthy vege- | tation and green scum with which the surface is | covered. The population have for several years | been subject to fever and agzue caused by the existence of this pond, and the suit fs brought against the Smith Paper Manufacturing Com- pany for maintaining ttie nuisance. Sanitary experts have testified tothe pond being the — of the malaria, and if the suit;goes against the Smith Paper Mill Company, it will be the | precursor of numerous other suits against the maintenance of similar nuisances all over New England. The suit isto be argued in January next. ———— Leo HarTMann AND THE CzaR.—A telegram from St. Petersburg, August 22, says: It is re- ported that the government has decided to re- quest the extradition of the man calling himself | Leo Hartmann in New York. M. Katkoff, the | editor of the Moskovski Vedomosti (Moscow journal), and the leader of the old Russian party, expresses himself rather strongly against the United States for ‘itting Hartmann, or a himself off as such, to lecture of his attempt to blow up the imperial train in November, 1879,” as he is about todo. M. Kat- Koff says that such a course is, however, only nat! on the part of a government which allows the most ruthless lawlessness to I girieed je then yocngs ie we sod i ew winds ving vent to his spleen against England ing to enter the recently proposed in- nal extradition conference. cnibition was lately given in this city of the te exhibition was lat en is city of re- sults of the taaktection in sewing inthe Win- throp school—a girl’s school with six grades.

They could not fare better if t were duchesses. They could not be freer they were the possessors of great fortunes tn their own right. And yet every cent they spend comes out of the pocket of a man who is busy in town, and enjoys the proud satie- faction of calling the gorgeous matron his wife and the fairy beings his daughters, That he should care to bask in the sunshing of fashion which surrounds the gentle members of his household does not occur to them.

This man of sixty has managed to marry nearly a dozea women in a very short space of time; once, ine deed, he was averaging very nearly a wife @ | week. Without an exception they were women of some education and intelligence. Was he absolutely and exclusively to blame, or should not some responsibility attach to his victims and to the social systeui under which they live? Reduced to plain language the case is about this: In a career lasting some years andex- tending over a wide extent of country, Merritt does not seem to have encountered one woman who, on his own assurance that he was Piva to do, was unwilling to marry off-hand @ i stranger old enough to be her father!

The blockade of boats in the canal at dam Ne, 6 continued during yesterday. We are informed that the leak in the dam is as bad as ever, but that the immediate cause of the low stage of water in the dam is the general drouth,wisich. has also lowered the water in all the upper levels of the canal. Collector Williams yester- day stated that the water in the canal basin at this city is lower than for eleven years past. He accounts for the creek not being so low by the fact that it does not supply the race as herete- fore. He says that even were the leak in dam No.6 entirely stopped, heavily loaded bouts could not pass the point, owing to the extreme | townaes of water, and only a heavy rain can completely relieve the situation. A plan for moving the large number of loaded boats at dam | No. 6 was yesterday put into effect. It was to feed enough water off all the levels below the | steam pump at Patterson's creek to move the | boats at dam No.6. The nine-mile level, im- mediately below Cumberland, will be left as it is. When the heavily-loaded boats now block- aded are moved, it is thought boats loaded so ag to draw 445 feet, laden with 104 tons, can get through. All boats have been compelled to load. light for several days past.
