Their failure to do so does not diminish their responsibility for the work of tbe Convention, nor would it justify them in repudiating tbe ticket nominated yesterday.

A MISSOURI GIRL THE BELLE OF SARATOGA. IFrom the New York Slail. In fxct we have heard it said many times that Sliss Nannie Barrow is the real belle of Saratoga this season. She Is a very lovely brunette, with large dark eyes, whose glances a bouri might envy. Her complexion is fair, her features delicately moulded, her form slender and graceful, her manners easy and charming, and her smile enough to turn tbe head of any young man here, no matter how level it may have been before.

Miss Harrow is of Southern extraction, her family belonging to the aristocracy of Her mother. Sirs. Barrow, is tho most beautiful matron In Saratoga, and everybody knows what a fine specimen of noble manhood is Slaj. Harrow so that one Saratoga belle comes lairly by her beauty.

While few transfers have been made, none, iu fact, being reported at the Exchange, the demand for desirable houses has gone on increasing to a wonderful extent. At present there are only about three hundred and fifty houses offered on the Exchange, and among these a really good home the question oi "reoresentalion," and antici-patt'a lively discussion.

A pulpit telephone has been put into a church atMorth Dana, so as to connect with the sick room oi a lady who has been an in are at least no points of positive badness about any of them. From the Xew York Star. The Republican nominee for Governor Is a rather commonplace type of the machine candidate. Mr. Cornell's defeat, and by an unprecedented majority, is as morally certain as any future event can be, provided the Democratic State Convention shall put its foot squarely down upon factional schemes and nominate a standaad beaver around whom ull true Democrats can rally wit a sacrifice of principle or seif-iespeci.

From the Xew York Graphic. 1 Looked at from the non-partisan point of view, the work of the Convention seems anything but meritorious. It is a machine product throughout. The machine did the work cut out tor it. King Caucus held a bed of justice and kis decree was registered.

The nominees are a "happy family." I From the World. A strong ticket and a weak platform. Mr. Cornell will command the support of all the younger men of his party as well as all its old leaders who have followed him through several hard-fougot campaigns as Chairman of the State Committee. His party record is honorable, and his personal character is unassailable.

From the Herald. It is clearly Mr. Cbnkling's victory; not Mr. Cornell's. The convention made from the first a marked and painful distinction between master and man.

It was the only liberty which it allowed itself; but it exercised that freelv. Its applause was for the Senator when poor Mr. Cornell appeared it was silent. Rut this little piece ot impotent spite was kindly over-looked by Mr. Conkling, who, like the able gtnrral he is.

looks to results, and who sat on tbe platform with a grim look which said plainly to the people below, "Growl you ma but go you must." MOUSING NEWS CONDENSED. does not remain unoccupied more than tares unless accompanied by tbe money. POST-DISPATCH, 111 North Fifth street. St. Louis.

The Rev. Thomas North, a Chicago clergyman, is about to start out with a company that will perform the piece exclusively in halls and churches. The fashionable folks at Newport are not in the habit of dropping coppers or buttons into the collection plates on Sunday, but generally make liberal gifts.

At some of the watering places, however, it is sadly otherwise, and wealthy visitors who give liberally to their churches at or four days.

As ft no movement in the direction of in-ci eased rental has bien made, the only effect of the rush for houses 1 eing to stiffen the demands of tho dealers for the advertised prices. These arc always paid at once. Throughout the city really desirable vacant houses are very few in number, and those which remain unoccupied for three months must have some very objectionable feature. tiOOll (ITOUES are also very scarce, siugle store-rooms In good localities commanding from S50 to $.100 a mouth, whilo store-rooms in the best places rent readily at from $1,000 a month up. In fact, there are no really fine stores offering.

The smaller rooms used by notion and fancv dealers on side streets bring from to $25 a month. In St. Louis there is always a large floating pcpnlalicnof renters. the fact being that only a imull minority of the people live in houses news, but we notice that they pay very little attention to the trifling news that a Chicago road the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific has stepped in and leased a connection that was supposed to belong to St. Louis the Burlington and Cedar Rip-ids.

We do not remember a single case of St. Louis getting a- railroad connection away from Chicago control. But, on the other hand, St. Louis has lost the trade of the Southeastern on one side, of the K. and T.

on the other, and has allowed the Chicago and Alton to step in and fight St. Louis roads on St. Louis territory. In fact, as far as St. Louis capital and St.

Louis enterprise are concerned, St. Louis has little to say about the railroad business. Mr. Allen does indeed own and control the Iron Mountain Road, but for all the rest of our St. Louis railroad system we depend oa a Mr.

Garrison, who lives in Xew York, and on a Jay Gould, who lives in New York; and it is not too much to say that if it were not for Gould and Garrison, St. Louis would have no such thing as a railroad svstem. vhiyherharometer.

AX LMPOIITANT CHANGE. Whereabouts of the Prospective Contestants Daily Practice of the Pedestrians. From the New York Sun. A week ago professional pedestrians were plentiful in tho city. They had come to arrange for their entrances to the two approaching contests.

Xow a day's search will not discover more than two or three, and the where abouts of those who have disappeared is kept ecrct by their friends. At the Rossmore Hotel tbe clerk said he had no idea where Weston Is. The champion bade adieu to the hotel people a few davs ago, declaring not even his friends should discover las retreat. The box in the hotel letter rack is packed fall of tters for the pedestrian, and inquirers for him form a procession that lasts all day and far into each night. Rowcll, the ex-champion, is in town, and practices daily in Madison square Garden, where a narrow belt iu the niniii path is cleared of gravel, and only the trainer and doctor are peim'tted to talk to him.

Yesterday the chunky little Englishman began to practice at tiiree o'clock in the afternoon, and, aft-sr running ano walking for two hours in his racing costume, made up of a cap, a striped shirt, white trousers, and shoes and stockings, he ran into a dressing room and donned heavy flannel underclothing and a thick coat and scarf. Thus clad he dashed around the track until lie perspired violently. His pui po-e was to wear down his superfluous llesh. lie is much heavier than when he won the belt, but his doctor says there is very little fat about him He is more solid and in better in the opinion of his friends.

Whitmore, of the Merchants' Fx- ing Company. By sn advertisement iii to-day's Post-Dispatch it will be seen that the name ot Joseph Schnaider'srChouteau Avenue Brewery bas been changed to Jos. Sehnaider's Brewing with Joseph Schneider, for president; Fritz Wahl, for manager; and Joseph M. Schnaider, Jr. secretary and treasurer.

This is one ot the most important changes that has taken place in brewing circles for soma time. The old Chouteau Avenue Brewery and its splendid garden have attained a world-wide reputation. The garden has been visited by more people than any other place of amusement ot the city, and has always been the admiration of every stranger. The brewery proper is one of tiie largest in the city, and does a very extensive business with local and country dealers. By the change mode a company is formed, and Sir.

Joseph Schnaider, so long and so favorably known, retires from the responsibility of the sole proprietorship. Mr. Fritz Wahl, the new manager, has been Sir. Schiiaider's superintendent for thirteen years, and is a thoroughly competent man. Sir.

JostphM. Schneider, tho secretary and treasurer, is the son of the president of the company, and is a young man ot much promise. He has spent much time in observing the process of making beer in the largest and best breweries of Germany, having et several i ears connected with the great biewerics lit Worms and Augsburg. Since hi return to America he has identified himself with the lareest breweries ot Milwaukee and Chicago, aiid alter a course of close study of the most improved methods of brewing, he is peculiarly well prepared to take the position lie now holds. He will no donbt immediately take hiuh rank among the most intelligent brewers of the citv.

He thinks he will be able to do heroic work under the stimulus of the lights We are very glad to see that England is taking a pious and proper interest in the welfare of the Jews in Servia. The philanthropy of England can always be counted on to correct the faults of England's neighbors and allies, and the condition of the Jews in all the semi-civilized Slavic communities of Eastern Europe is a mockery of humanity and of religion. After England has secured decent treatment for the Servian Jews, who manage to thrive and get rich in spite of the persecutions to which they are subjected, we trust England will graciously pay some attention to the welfare of a million or so of Christians in Ireland who are now living under English rule and have experienced the blessings of English beneficence for now six hundred years. This million of English subjects live in mud cabins, and are in a worse condition than slaves, because the owners of slaves always take good care not to starve their property, while the mud-cabin tenants of the English millionaires are compelled to pay rent to a power which neither protects nor supports them, and which admits their right to live only on rendition that they pay their rent.

If the Servian Skuptchina should appoint a comjnittee to visit Ireland and to investigate whether any suggestions for the amelioration cf the condition of the Jews could be learned from the English manner of treating the Irish, England would be "placed in a very unpleasant position, and its philanthropy for the Servian Jews would seem to be as hollow a sham as the bleeding of our fraudulent President's heart for the poor African. llt-l ItVOK lltllllir. 11 UUU Ull- II lUUUin and music and competition at the garden.

It is supposed that nearly everybody ia st. Ixuis has heard of Corticelli spool silic.

The name has become a household word in the short space of a year or so, and it all comes from the peculiar and striking methods of advertising adopted by its enterpising agent, Mr. C. H. Sampson. There is genius in advertising, as well as in writing a book or playing the part of Hrmlet.

Occasionally there springs up a man who does things differently from everybody else. Such a man is Sampson. He has quadrupled the sales of Corticelli Spool Silk in St. Louis during the psst twelve months, and why? Because be adopted novel methods ot getting the public to taka hold ot it and because the public discovered after it took hold of it, that it was the best spool silk in the world. Who cannot call to mind some of the happy waysln which it has been advertised instance, were those verses on i ue programmes of the amateur "Pinafore" last spring at Mercantile Library.

Corticelli Silk was so beautifully woven in those verses that the ladies are singing them yet. Then there are those handsome glass cabinets in all the dry goods stores put up by tae agent of this same Corticelli Silk. Who Is it that does not remember Barnum'a clown with Corticelli spool silk written all over him. Such a thing was never seen betoie, and it looked like beating Barnum at his own game. So it is unquestionably true that Mr.

C. H. Sampson is a cenius in the advertising line, and his work has been well rewarded. The factory for which he is agent is already the largest spool silk establishment in the country, and is cow having a large addition built to it. Corticelli spool silk is a Miccess, and so is Sampson.

The Midsummer Uxodus from fiuropo Arrival of 13,130 Immigrants During August.

Special to the Courier-Journal. Xew York. September 4. The number of immigrants arriving here, in August was 12,130, being about 5,000 in excess of the number for the corresponding month a year ago, and being a larger increase than in any other month in 1879. Nevertheless, the increase has been marked from the very beginning, and to date it aggregates The large number arriving in August attracts attention, for the lesson that immigrantion usually falls off in midsummer as in tbe winter months, months.

In spring and in fall the larger number of Europeans seek new homes in Americi. It is thought that the fall immigration will be larger than before in many vears. The would-be immigrant, having gathered his harrest.will naturally start with the proceeds thereof in bis Docket. It is more than probable that September's and October's arrivals will reach 10,000 or 1 2 .000 each Those now landing are mostly from Scotland. Sweden, Norway and Ireland, and the greater part of them know where they are going, and what they are going to do.

Undoubtedly the rule of the Police Board which requires the police officers to pair their debts is a good one. It would be very unbecoming to have men salaried as officers of the law who evaded the payment of their debts. But the rule was made to prevent dead beats from remaining on the force not to worry honest and capable officers into suicide, when they have been involved in money troubles to help those nearest to them. This seems to have been the explanation of Officer O'Dounell's suicide, and the persecution he received at the hands of the Commissioners raises the 'juration, "Do all of the Commissioners ray their debts?"

It is a shame that the church people do not rise In a body to patronize this school. Xo good Roman Catholic educate his daughter elsewhere than in a convent. Now, here we have a school under the immediate control of our Rishop, presided over by ladies of culture and refinement; a school in every way calculated to educate our dnuithters both morally and intellectually. And yet, I regret to say. the Episcopalians, who should be the pillars of the school, do very little towards its support.

Mrs. Langiry Mrs. Langtry is not, it appears, a silent beauty. An American who met her at a ball writes ot her that she was "greatly interested in this country; very simple and gentle in her manner, and with no affectation." Ainonir her capacities is that of doing her own millinery. The strange, original and becoming hat which she wore at the French fete was made by herself.

It was constructed from her grandmother's finest, softest old Leghorn straw, 1 he brim was fl it and broad, and facet with dark violet satin, with a wreath of flowers across the top; it just touched upon tu of her head. The crown was the original crown cut down to an inch. The principal stroke of originality ws a careless -pinking dent on one side, where it was joined to the biim. A tuft of corn flowers was carelessly thrown, as it were, on the other side, it suited her style, and both were picturesque. .1.11 ..1 1 1 1 iuhull 1,1 ni iiiiki ni-i 11:1 ur HIT- by an appeal to peaceful arbitration.

The growing superiority of American over European manufactures is attributed to the fact that the man who labors year after year on a single part of an implement, and knows nothing of its use and has nothing to do but to follow a pattern, neither thinks about nor sug gests any improvements; while he who builds the whole machine, and thinks and talks about Us uses, is full of schemes to make it more effective. Let no man be counted virtuous till he is dead and until his several surviving wives and families have had a chance to step np and contest his will. Only three short weeks ago the French Academy voted a prize of 1,000 francs to "a modest hero, a virtuous workingman whose life has been a succession of meritorious deeds," and what did the modest hero do in his elation on finding so much money in his possession but go upon a tremeudous spree, commit an assault upon a woman and be arrested before M.
