It the Council had not erected the stairway the board had no jurisdiction in the matter, and could no more order the steps removed than it could demand the removal of show -cases or other obstructions. Upon the statement that the Ordinance Court was the proper place to apply' for relief, the committee agreed to report adversely upon the petition, and adjourned. The Board of Police Commissioners will during the early part of next week, and the vacancies now existing on the police force will be tilled by the election of about twenty new supernumeraries and the pro.motion of men in that grade already elected. The Commission is composed of Mavor Jacob, President Griffiths, President Tyler, Alderman Gilbert, and Councilman Bickel. The General Council meets in the City Hall at 8 o'clock this evening.

A good-sized newsboy, with grimy face and hands, and wearing rather dilapidated and soiled garments, to say nothing of very prominent air of concern, was the center of attraction for a group of ragamuffins on Green street last night. He was representing the stage manager of one of the theaters in securing some sort of mob to bowl or at least to increase the realism of a play in some manner, Having selected Mike, Rats, Slick and several others, he started off with his actors pursued by a moo of gamins, each beseiging him to be taken When be bad sufficiently enjoyed the popularity of bis position he turned, and with the air of king, delivered himself thus: see hyar, fellers, dis byar six is de gang; I can't take all of yees on, so sneak, will yer?" whereupon the favored six followed their leader, and the others watched their retreat with much discontent announced in muttered curses.

A young man, smoking a cigar, sat down behind a woman on Second-street car yesterday. The fumes from the "rope" rose in the air, and pretty soon the varnish began to fall from the woodwork.

Finally a line of smoke curled round the woman's nose, and she unconsciously 'took a whiff of it. It drove her insane. She turned like a badgered and infuriated drygoods clerk, and grasping the smoldering piece of punk from the lips of the hardened but astonished smoker, tossed it on the floor and mashed its life out with a large foot. The man fled the car. newspaper man would get onto an item on his way to heaven or to said an Owensboro man yesterday.

Woodbe continued, "started to study astronomy, and he hadn't been at it an hour betore he suspected a celestial scandal. He watched matters, and here is what he developed: some time observers have noticed in the Western heavens that Venus has been coquetting with Mars in a style to arouse suspicion, and there is now every probability of a celestial wedding. It may be that at this distance appearances are deceptive, and that there is really nothing of it, though the least that can he said is they had better take in their sign it it is not true. Unless there is positive engagement and a nearly approaching marriage it is highly imprudent fur a young lady to be out so late at night in so lonely a place as the sky is, and with such a fellow as Mars, and some one in their neighborhood should look after them. scandal in the sky would be too bad, and that is likely to occur, Mars and Venus form beautiful pair, the soldierly and steadly red of the former burning dull contrast to the effulgent, thoroughly fickle blaze of the queen of the heavens.

Three women tripped more or less lightly Into a Portland car yesterday.

I talked with New York tailor on the subject recently, and he said that the boom was originally started by Oscar Wilde, but it had pretty well dropped out of sight. There was great outbreak of knee breeches talk, you know.

when Wilde came over here. hunting men, tennis players and a few of the younger song of fond mammas took eagerly to knickerbockers and displayed them on every possible occasion, but when it came to evening dress itself the solid good sense of the American people rebelled. 110- agine the infernal bother of a weary man going home in time for dinner, and being obliged to put on long silk stockings and knickerbockers before he could pet ready for dinner. Good sense saved the day as tar as knickerbockers were coneerned, but it did pot altogether kill the idea of relieving the monotony of the dress suit. While enterprise was nipped short at the knee breeches point, if was encouraged in many othr directions.

The first evidence of this ebullition of fancy appeared in shirt fronts. which were ribbed, fluted and decorated in various ways. Then came the varlegated waistcoats. of every possible material, from silk to linen; and after that the broad stripe on the trousers and the heavy satin finish of the coats. While knee breeches are yet distant and reniote futute, the advance in the way of evening dress decorations is so pronounced that a man in the dress suit of three years ago looks like a muff compared to the exquisite of -day." EMPLOYES REMOVED.

The L. and N. Discharges Several Persons Connected With the Bardstown Junction dent Conductor Rae Goes to Mexico. Allison S. Rae, the conductor of train No.

23, of the Louisville and Nashville railroad, which met with such a horrible accident several days ago, has been removed from his position, and Tuesday night he left for Mexico. When it was announced yesterday morning that Rae was leaving the United States it was thought that he feared a criminal prosecution, and bad left to prevent any steps being taken against him. This is said not to be the case by his family and friends, who claim that Rae Was not to blame. Rae has gone to Mexico to accept a position as conductor on the Mexican Central railroad. For several weeks past W.

T. Hagan, an official of the Mexican Central, who is a relative of Rae's, has been in the city visiting the latter's family, and when his furlough expired Mr. Hagan left for Mexico accompanied by Rae. They will spend a few days in St. Louis, and will leave for Mexico Sunday morning.

Mr. Rae's mother and sister were indignant last evening at the report that he had left the country to escape a possible criminal prosecution. They hold him blameless in the accident, and say that he left because he would not apply for work on any railroad where a stain might be attached to his official career. They say that if at any time a criminal prosecution should be brought against him, Mr. Rae would need no requisition to come back to Kentucky.

The removal of Rae and the brakemen of his train by the road's officials seems to indicace that the crew of train No: 23 were to blame for the accident. The train dispatcher who gave the orders to the two colliding trains has also been removed. Seeking a Bloody Revenge. Mamie McDonald, a sister of the notorions Ollie Smart, now in jail for complicity in the Belle Ward-Meisner Green murders, and equally as tough as her sister, was locked in Central station, last night, on charge of disorderly conduct. She attacked one Henry Cousins, colored, at Ninth and Grayson streets, with an immense butcher knife, and but for interference would have killed him.

She thought the colored man was on the jury that convicted Harry Smart, and she declared that. she would kill him on that account. Want a Branch Post-Office. The citizens of that part of Louisville lying east of Beargrass creek are agitating the question of a branch post-office for the Highlands. No formal action has yet been taken, but they are considerably warmed up on the subject.

The general opinion among them is that a branch office should be established 500D possible. It is probable that petition will soon be circulated asking that the authorities take action in the premises. The Highlanders think Louisville is big enough to have another post-office.

AMUSEMENTS.

Virginius, Virginius was repeated at Macauley's Theater last night by Mr. James and his company, with Miss Wainwright as Virginia. Mr. James, in his impersonation of the character last night, was at his best, and gave noble, heroic and finely impressive portrayal of the stupendous emotions by which the life of the patriot and father is wrecked. There is no tendency to overacting, and the reserve and quiet dignity of the opening scenes bring out in strong contrast the forcible realization of the fourth act, which is the more impressive because it is not so ous in declamation or vehement in action as it is in the hands of most actors who assume the role.

Mr. James has voice of excellent quality, which, in most instances, he uses with commendable judgment, but his reading is not always ef fective and tends at times toward monotonous intonations, to a too frequent use of the same inflexion, which robs expression of variety. But this is defect of small proportion in a performance of more than ordinary strength and intelligence. The best act in Mr. James' portraiture the fourth, in which occurs the lament for Dentatus, and the arrival of the messenger from Rome, who brings the news of Virginia's seizure by Claudias.

Tho agony of suspense, the impatience for the news, the dread of it, and the final threat of vengeance were vividly depicted, without any of the boise terousness from which this scene so rare ly escapes. Miss Virginia, though a winning and graceful impersonation. is not of equal merit with her Rosalind or her Gretchen. The tearful agony of the situation, the deadly horror of the threatened danger, were well brought out, the teuderness and girlish grace of the first act were happily portrayed: and yet sue does not answer expectation in this role as in others. There is notning of the Roman maid about her, nothing of the repose and heroism for which even the women of her race were distinguished.

She is a sweet timid. loveable girl, but not the daughter of Roman. The daughter of warlike race would not swoon at the marching order given her lover, but would reflect something of the martial pride of soldiership. With all the sweetness and personal charms she brings to the part, perhaps because of these natural gifts, she does not harmonize with the sternly classic lines upon which the drama wrought out. The Dentatus of Mr.

Langdon excellent. The Icilius of Mr. Mosley was manly and heroic, by far the best piece of work he bas yet done. Nature has done all that was possible for him in face and figure. If she bad added a dash of impetuosity and a spark of fire, she would have completed a fine actor.

(Washington Star.) Captain Slocum and family, about whom so much has been printed, have arrived in Washington, and their remarkable little craft, Libertad, is moored at the Sixth-street wharf. Following is a brief history of his perilous voyage: Early in December, 1886, the bark Aquidenck, of Baltimore, Captain Joshua Slocum master and owner, sailed front Rosario, Argentine Republic, baled Rio Janeiro with a cargo of hay. 'The quarantine papers issued to the Rosario vessel by the Brazilian Consul at Ilha ordered that the vessel should go to Grande, an island about sixty-eight miles south of Rio, and its quarantine station and there discharge her cargo into a ves. sei which would be sent from Rio for that purpose. At that time the Brazilian authorities wouid allow no vessel from the LaPlatte country.

to enter Brazidan ports on account of the terrible epidemic of cholera then desolating the towns of the Argentine Republic. The Aquidenck arrived at Liba Grande Jan1887, with all her crew in good health. Captain Slocum anchored and endeavored to get a visit" from the quarantino otticers who were constantly passing his vessel on their way to other: ships in the harbor. He remained anchored outside she line of red kegs," which marked the limit beyond which ships were not allowed to pass until they had been inspected by the quarantine officers. Early on the morning of Januery 8, Captain Slocum, acting on the suggestion of a neighboring vessel, shifted his anchorage to a point inside the line of red buoys.

fle did this in order to have a better opportunity to attract the attention of the quarantine officers. 'The Aquidenck remained at her new anchorage her tag dying and sails loose from 7 a. m. until late in the afternoon, but did not receive a visit." Next evening the Aquidenck, having been then in the port about thirty-six. hours, a launch came alongside with an otticer of the port on board, who informed Captain Slocum that he could not disembark his cargo and would not be allowed to stay there nor to enter any port; that the order had come that morning directing that no more vessels from the La Platte should be allowed to enter the harbor at Hiha Grande.

Captain Slocum begged that fresh provisions shonid be sent on board his vessel before she left, but this was refused, and he was told that if he did not get under way and leave at once he would be fifed upon by the guard ship. He therefor made sail, left alha Grande and returned to Rosario. The British bark Sladacona, Captain G. E. Pettis, sailed from Rosario about three weeks previous to the departure of the Acquidenck and was in the harbor of via Grande when she arrived.

The papers and cargo of the Stadacona were the same as those of the Aquidenck, but, according to Captain report, he was given every facility, and DO repsonable request was refused." On his return from Kosario Captain Slocum was. anabie to dispose of his cargo, and the cholera having nearly disappeared, he again set sail for Rio de Janeiro, and sueceeded in entering wat port and dis posing of his cargo there. While at Rosario, on account of the chorera, there WaS presumably great difficu in securing good seamen, for Captain Slocum shipped on his second outward voyage several hard characters who had been in prison and had been released on account of the cholera. One of these men, named Thomas Maloney, had been in prison in Buenos Ayres for two years for attempting murder and robbery. Another, James Aiken, had assaulted a ship's captain lio de Janeiro.

The Tosses of his useless vorage to liho Grande, and the consequent failare to dispose of his cargo, had reduced Captain Siocum to such pecuniary straits that when he finally succeeded in reaching Hio de Janeiro he was compelled to take the Arst freight offering advance enough to pay the debts he had contracted, and he was again compelled to sail south ward instead of northward toward his home. On this voyage the vessel put in the and while there, on the night of July 28, 1887, ine captain was awakened by his wife, who had heard the sounds of whispering and stealthy footsteps. Captain Sloeum opened the door of his cabin and disTaking a carbitie, covered James Aiken calling on him to come out and not be a coward, and daring him to, order them the forward. The stern of a vessel, where captain's cabin is, is forbidden ground to a crew after a certain hour at night, and the ence presence to them" was a sufficient indienof Aiken there, and his refertion that two or more of his crew were engaged in an act of insabordination, probably with felonious intent. forward, Captain but he rushed at him with a knife in his Slocum commanded Aiken to go hand instead, and a struggle ensued.

Sloeum was seized by the throat and thrown to his knees. Finding himself thus set upon, Captain Slocam fired his carbine and Aiken fell. Thomas Maloney had appeared in the passageway before after the the cabin door Captain during the scuffle, but shot Slocum lost sight of him. Passing forward he met Maloney in the narrow passageway between the cabin and this gun- for wale. Maloney said: I have you," indicating something in his hands.

Hearing a sound like the click of a revolver, and knowing Maloney', bad record, and seeing him raise his arm, instantly. By this time the rest of the Captain Slocam fired, Killing Maloney crew were aroused and came running to the cabin. It was a significant fact, however, that while the captain's son was in sleeping apparel, the other members of the crew were fully dressed, though they had presumably just arisen from their berths. When the body of Maloney was examined it was found that he was in his stocking feet. had been severely wounded, was taken ashore and received medical attendance.

Slocum was arrested for the murder by the authorities of Antonina. The, Aquedenck meanwhile proceeded to Montevideo in charge of the captain's son, youth of eighteen, and a man whom Slocum employed to act as master, and arrived in Montevideo August 29, 1887( The trial of Slocum took place August 23. It was there developed that while no cause for enmity could be discovered against the captain on the part of the crew, two of them had been heard to say that they wanted to kill him. The evidence was all in favor of Slacum, and he was acquitted at once by the unanimous consent of the jury. In Brazil it is the majority of the jury which condemns or acquits, and not the whole twelve.

In that country the defendant is put on the witness stand and subjected to cross examination. Captain Sloeum followed his ship to Montevideo September 15, 1887, where trouble again awaited him. His crew were dissatisfied at the prospect a longer -oyage, and demanded their wages and passage money to Paranagua. This matter was finally arranged and the Aquedenck started on her northward voyage. A terrible fatality seemed to follow her, however, for before she cleared the La Platte Llack sirall-pox broke out among the crew, and they went down with it, one after the until only the captain, his son, the carpenter and the cook were left to work the ship.

Three times did Stocum attempt to- land and get help, bat was driven away from the ports he entered. Even at Flores Island, the quarantine station and lazaretto of Uruguay, they were afraid and he was driven off. With most of his crew sick, the rest in hourly peril of being so, leaving the ship without any one to manage the floating pest-house, what must have been the situation of the Slocum, already Droken with their many troables, can be easy imagined. After many fruitless endeavors to get assistance, they finally succeeded in signaling the British telegraph-tender, which informed the authorities of their terrible condition. After shipping a new crew the Aquedenck again turned her prow toward home, but had proceeded no further than Paranagua, the scene of one of her former trials, when she was stranded and became a total wreck February 1, 1888.

Even this last calamity could not entirely break down the course of her skipper, for he went to and built a cutter about five tons burden from the planks of the old ship, and set sail with his wife, son and child for the United States, and has arrived here, thus compreting for the present the series of his remarkable adventures. Slocum claims from the British Government $10,000 The Amor can Sunday. (New York Sun.) Last Sunday was a delightful day. Although it was at the end of December the temperature was rather autumnal than winter, and the sky was clear and bright. On such a Sunday Central Park, of course, was thronged with visitors.

The elevated trains and the horsecars curried great loads of passengers thither throughout the fine day. It was such a day as to afford no excuse whatever for keeping away from church, and yet the multitudes on the streets and in the parks, who were abroad for recreation merely, far exceded the the houses of worship, all told. It seemed more like A holiday for general enjoyment than the regular weekly day of prayer. Despite the Sunday closing law the beer gardens were crowded, the corner liquor shops did a lively business with customers admitted through side doors, and during the evening there were many concerts which were sacred in name only. At Central Park alcoholic beverages were, as usual, dispensed freely at the Casino and the Mount St.

Vincent restaurants, and nothing in the great pleasure ground suggested that it was the American Sabbath," except the unusual crowds brought out by the fine weather. The children were riding the donkers, and everybody was making holiday. So far as Central Park was concerned, it was the Continental against whose approach the Rev. Dr. Crosby fought with something like desperation at the meeting of the Commissioners for revising the excise laws on Friday.

From his point of view he did right in making the fight, and unquestionably he represents a large part of the people of New York, but whether it is the greater part, as he contends, will only be determined by the practical issue of the conflict. As it appeared last Sunthe Continental Sunday" seemed to be more public line. It is indisputable that the opening of the saloons on the first day of the week would be the entering wedge" for the destruction of Sunday, as Dr. Crosby would have it, and as it has been observed so long in both this country and England. With the saloons legally open, it would not be many years before the theaters also would be open, and by the beginning of the next century Sunday in New York would be as it is now in Paris.

Every place would be opened," as Dr. Crosby declared. Shop-keepers would not be able to resist the temptations offered by the holiday and the crowds of pleasure seekers on the streets, while the churches might suffer from the increased secular competition, for already the majority of the people of New York are irresponsive to their appeal. But Dr. Crosby's argument that such an innovation would deprive great numbers of laborers of their one day of rest in the seven can not be disputed.

If our Sunday becomes like the Sunday of France and Germany, of course it will be a day of labor to something like the same extent it now is in those countries. Here, as work there, many thousands of people will the week through, their greed or their poverty preventing them from taking a day of rest. In the very instructive tables of the naticnality of the population of New York, which were prepared by Mayor Hewitt, it was shown that the vast majority of the inhabitants are of foreign birth or are the children of foreigners. This fact was not of its present signifi, cance when the great bulk of the 1m- migration was from Ireland, for the Roman Catholie Church in this country has assisted greatly in perpetuating the American Sunday. and its recent councils especially have strenuously re sisted the tendency to destroy its purely religious character.

But the immigration of recent years, and which now is multiplying the population of the town, is not in sympathy with that effort. It is chiefly from countries where the religious secondary observance consideration of in the the day to the people, where it has any consideration at all. Even if Sunday is begun as a day of prayer, it is ended as a day of pleasure and recreation. To such people the restrictions which Dr. Crosby would impose seem tyrannical and intolerable.

The Jewish population is also growing rapidly, both by natural increase and by immigration, and there is also to be added the growing number of the American born who are passing over into what is veritable paganism, SO that, all told, the enemies of Dr. Crosby probably number more than his allies, and they. are not less determined. It may be, therefore, that we are getting toward the last fight for the American Sabbath" in New York. At any rate, there is little reason to hope that any revolution in publie sentiment or public practice with regard to Sunday drinking will be brought about by the labors of the Excise Commis sion.

Such a revolution can only come from some great movement started among the people themselves, and which gets its impetus from 8. revival of religious faith. As a preacher of the gosple, Dr. Crosby can probable do far more more to bring about that upturning than as a Commissioner for altering the excise laws. THOSE CANALS.

Points In Which the Panama Canal Has the Advantage of the Nicaragua (Chicago Journal.) Hon. A. J. Galloway. of this city, has given a great deal of -attention during his life to the subject of waterways.

and is always an interesting talker on the subject. Following is an interview with him on the Panama canal: 4 You say you do not believe the Panama canal enterprise has finalis falled. What are your reasons for that opinion In the first place, the tide-water canal or artificial strait is only forty miles long. and less than one-third the length of any other practicable route. Next, the work has SO far progressed that an equal or less additional amount than that already expended will complete tide-water channel: or strait, which can be navigated in four hours, and when ultimately enlarged in a much shorter time.

Thirdly, 11 is some hundreds of miles remote from the axis of greatest volcanic movement in Contral America, and when completed without locks would be unharmed by any eruption of less. force than that which 00- curred in the Straits of Sundel in the Dutch East India Islands a few years hence. Whereas, a slight disturbance would derange cut masonry and render liftlocks worthless until reconstructed. (4) The times are ripe for this great work of more that 300 years cousideration, as is evidenced by the favor bestowed upon the projects for a ship railroad across the Isthmus of Tehuantepeo and the high-level canal through Lake Nicaragua, neither of which have a tithe of the merits of a short, open strait through the Panama ridge." Is not your fourth reason rather boldly assumed, when eminent American engineers have, after many careful survey's, decided in favor of the Nicaragua route as the most practicable and feasible one for connecting the navigation between the two oceans There is probably no problem within engineering possibility which can not procure the indorsement of imminent engineers, as witness the proposed tunnel under the English Channel to connect France with England and the collection and control of the whole water of Niagara river and falls to generate electricity: to be used to' drive machinery or illuminate cities hundreds or even thousands of miles distant. It would be a waste of time and space to enter at length in a discussion of the difficulties to be overcome in ship railroad scheme.

Suffice it to say that like the Great Eastern steamship, it is too huge a thing for practical utility. The Nicatagua canal project, deserves more respectful consideration. but at the risk of furnishing ammunition to the same influences which have so persistently fought the Panama canal, and will fight any feasible project for a waterway across the Isthmus. I will mention a few objections. First, the route 1s three and a half times as long as that at Panama and much more tortuous, and 4ith some 240 feet of lockage, requiring six or eight locks, with some thirty or forty feet lift at each lock, and chamber locks not less than forty-five feet and probably more nearly, sixty feet froth foundation to coping.

locks, to stand the pressure of more than one atmosphere, or say forty pounds to the square inch. would require to be built of massive cut masonry, to which the Immense gates would have to be accurately adjusted. It is well known that this route is directly in line with the axis of greatest voicanie en and has been severely shaken since work on the Panama canal was begun. Each recurrence of such disturbance could hardly fall to destroy or serlously, impair some or all of such locks until the valle could be taken down and rebuilt: and in the meantime all navigation of the canal would be suspended. It would require some three days to get vessels through this canal even when in perfect order, and salls would be of no use during the passage through it: and when bound for ports upon the western coast of South America they would have to encounter all the calms in the latitudes.

But steam is so -rapidly superseding salling vessels upon all great commercial lines of communication that the question of calms cuts but small figure in the premises. So utterly Insignificant is any other line of communication between the two oceans. when compared with a short. open strait. I can not see how any man of common sense, much less a scientific engineer.

can fail to realize it. Such a strait should be opened to the use of the civilized world, and by no meaus under the exclusive control of any one nation. That Its construction can be tortured Into an infringement of the Monroe doctrine is, to say the least, very far fetched. As well might we claim that the expenditure of foreign capital In the construction of our railways, or the foreign ownership of a controlling Interest in the stock of any one of them, were such an Infringement. The truth is that all the foreign capital so expended here redounded greatly to our advantage: and none such would be more beneficentiy realized than the construction of a free ocean highway through the American Isthmus.

open to the commerce of the world upon the payment of reasonable dues, to gradually, return the capital expended. or at least to pay a moderate interest upon the same. A nation of 60.00.000 Inhabitants. endowed with all the energy and intelligence of the Anglo-Saxon race and doubling in population and quadrupling in wealth each thirty years, need have no fear that any power upon the face of the earth could deprive it of the free use of such water way for a period of ninety days. Indeed.

the moral influence of such a nation would secure it immunity from all danger except in cases of actual war, when it may be presumed we could take care of ourselves." A TROUBLESOME BULLET. Painful Search For Piece Lead In a Man's Bones. (Globe-Democrat San Antonio Spectal.) Col. C. C.

Gibbs, well known in Southwestern railroad circles, for a long time General Freight Agent pt the Southern Pacific, and now General Land Commissioner of that and a number of other roads, had a painful and strange operation performed at 4:30 o'clock this afternoon at his home here in the removal of a bullet which has been in his leg for over twenty-six years. In 1862, Col. Gibbs, with his brother, Gol. Jett Gibbs, entered the Confederate service in the first company which was organized in Memphis, and in the spring of 1862, near Memphis, while they were not actually in the engagement, a stray bullet passed through the calf of Col. Gibbs' left.

right leg The and bullet lodged was in searched the bone for of at the time, but could not be extracted, and the wound in time healed. The fact of the lead being in the bone did not inconvenience the Colonel, although he could feel it if the leg was jarred. About two months ago Col. Gibbs boarded a train while in motion, and in 50 doing struck the shin of the left leg against the car step. The bruise became painful, and for the past month he has been under the care of Dr.

Amos Graves, the Medical Director of the Southern Pacific, who decided the trouble was caused by the bullet and that the missle should be removed. The operation was performed by Dr. Graves, assisted by other surgeons, by making an incision and boring the bone just below the knee and then opening the old wound. ball was found about three Inches below the knee so firmly imbedded in the bone as to necessitate its extraction in small pieces, and the bone above and below was found to be decayed in the center. The decoyed matter was removed, and while Col.

Gibbs is suffering severely Dr. Graves considers the operation wholly successful, and says Col. Gibbs will out in tow and will have toll ase of the member. GEN. GRANT'S COMPETITOR.

The Man Who Came Near Beating the Afterward Great Federal Leader Out of the Appointment to West Point. Mr. Samuel Hill, now a resident of Harrison county, Indiana, and for many years compositor on the COURIER-JOURNAL in former days, is in the city visiting friends. Although seventy years of age, Mr. Hill is still a very active man, and were he so disposed, could set type with many of the fastest compositors of the day.

He has very interesting history, and is, withal, i very remarkable man. Born in Cleamont county, Ohio, he was for long while schoolmate of General U. 8. Grant. The two occupied about the same position in their classes, and when the father of Ulysses Grant applied for the cadetship to West Point for his son Sam Hill was his chief opponent.

For while the chances of the latter were much better than those of the former, and it was generally believed that Hill would get the place. Representative Thomas Hamer, however, was induced by young Grant's father to appoint his son, and Hill was left to continue his studies at school. Shortly afterward Hill connected himselt with the only newspaper in Batavia, Clermont coucty, Ohio. and of its best compositors. When the paper would be issued each week, Hill would throw sack filled with copies across his horse's back, and be would thus deliver the papers to the subscribers throughout the country.

He then drifted from office to office, compositor, serving long time on the old Louisville Courier, the Journal and the Democrat. Some years ago he settled upon small farm in Northern Michigan, but be found the climate too cold. A short while since, he bought a farm in Harrison county, Indiana, and, with his wife, drove all the way in a country wagon to settle upon it. Mr. Hill says that next spring he will spend one month in the Courier-Journal composing rooms, just to satisfy his desire to again set type.
