He seemed in excellent humor. There were assembled on the pier to greet him a couplu of dozen of friends, most of them prominent Wall street men, among them being several North Amer-ican directors. All said they had no fear but that ho would right matters in a short time. Villard was questioned about tho prospects of Northern Pacific and North American. "I don't know," ho said, "I've had an excellent time in Europe, enjoyed myself immensely and had a tine voy-age. Thai's all 1 have to say at pres-ent." Nothing whatever could be elicited from Villard regarding the financial en-tanglements in which his railroad and ofher enterprises were involved. FOR THE RELIEF OF THE IRISH.

It is known that a temporary organization has been formed by representative ineu in the business, and that very soon articles of incorporation will be filed, covering a combine with a capital stock of at least $20,000,000. A secret meet-ing was held yesterday afternoon at which tho general features of the con-templated combine were discussed. The Harvester Combine. Chicago, Nov. 2!). It is understood that a meeting will bo held here shortly to perfect tho organization of the American Harvester com-pany, recently organized in this state.

The aggregate value of its property is seenty millions Its promoters say they propose to re-duce tho cost of the manufacture ami the price to the farmer, li will also manufacture binding twine extensively, and sell it at reduced cost. Will a Corpse Ulerd? Formerly there was a popular belief in a widespread superstition that the corpse of a murdered person would bleed afresh from the wounds that had caused death did the murderer touch it or even allow his eyes to rest upon it. The belief is shown to have been uni-versally established in Scotland as late aa 1668. In that year ono Philip Stands-fiel- d was arrested for tho murder of a person who had been buried several days. Although the man had lain in the grave almost a fortnight. Sir Georgo Mackinzie, tho crown counsel, caused tho body to bo exhumed and brought into open court to apply what people thought would be the test of Siandsfield's guilt or innocence. Tho sworn deposition of several witnesses is as follows: "God Almighty himself was pleased to bear a share in the testimonies which wo produced. That divine power which makes the blood circulate during life has ofttimes, in till countries, opened a passage for it after deatii upon such oc-casions. After tho wounds had been sewed up, and tho body designedly shaken up and down aud, whichis most wonderful, after tho body had been buried several days, which naturally causes the blood to congeal upon Siandsfield's touching it tho blood darted and sprang out, to the great astonish-ment of tho surgeons who were there to watih tho event. StamWiold, astonished moro than they, threw down the body, crying, 'Oh, God! Oh, God!' and, clean-ing bis hands, grew so faint that the doctors had to givo him a cordial." St. Louis Republic.

ROASTING PAIiNELL. Both Gladstone and Morley Say That the Statements He Makes Are Not True. LABOUCHERE SAYS HE IS MAD. wxron and Healoy Propose the Alliance of the with Gladstone. London. Nov. 2'.). Gladstone and ' Morley both dispute Parnell's version of the negotiations between them home rule and other matters concerning Ireland, anil they will, at an early date, repudiate his statements. Sexton and Healy are taking the opinion of eace Irish member of parlia-ment as to the advisability of organi-zing a movement for the allance of the aiiti Parnellites with Gladstone. In an interview today Henry ' Labouchere, M. P.. and cditorof Truth, said it would be charitable to suppose Parnell mad. It is impossi-bl- e to suppose a sane man with any honor or patriotism would issue a manifesto so dishonoring to himself and so injurious to his country's cause. 'The manifesto issued by Parnell will effect no chance in the position of his supporters and opponents among the Irish members of parliament, but will - give the poll to be taken at the meeting of the nationalists on Monday a final and decisive character. The manifesto shifts the scene of (he conflict to Ire-land. After Monday county conven-tions will be held in Ireland to ascer-tain the opinions of the nationalists and clergy. Clnilstomi'ii Iti'ply. Lonkon, Nov. 29. Gladstone has is-sued a reply to the Parnell manifesto.in which no denies in toto the statements made by the Irish leader in regard to the retention of the Irish members iu the imperial parliament, the settlement of the land or agrarian difficulty in Ire-- i laud, the control of the Irish constabu-lary and the appointment of tho ju-diciary in Ireland. Cladstone says he will not apply a Bingle epithet to Parnell, not being his judge. He believes, however, that he showed by his course in the matter of tho special commission appointed to investigate the charges made against Parnell growing out of the Pigott letter that he had no indisposition to do Par-tel- l injustice. Gladstone then conies to the recital of the proposal, alleged by Parnell in his manifesto to have been made to ' him during bis visit to Gladstone at Ilowarden last November, in regard to the intended proposals with regard to homo rule in the event of the Liberal party winning nt the next general election. Gladstone declares that uo single suggestion was offered by him to Parnell cither as formal or a final one. i The conversation then held was a statement perfectly free, without prejudice of points, on which Gladstone or such of his colleages as ho could consult were inclined to believe the home rule plan ot 1880 could be improved and concerning which he was desirous to know whether any serious objection had risen in the mind of Parnell. To none of these suggestions did Par-nell raiso any serious objection. Gladstone denies that he made the stat incuts which Parnell's mem-ory ascribes to him or anything substantially resembling them, either as to the retentiou of the Irish members in tho imperial parliament or the settle-ment of tho land question or agrarian dilliculties. Tho conversation between them was confidential. To publish any account of it is to break tho seal of confidence which alone renders political co-operation possible. Every suggestion made to Parnell wa from written memoranda to which Gladstone can re-fer. Neither Parnell nor himself were bound by the conversation to the ab-solute acceptance of tho proposals canvassed. During the year that lias since elapsed, ho never received from Parnell any information of tho alteration of his views regarding any of them. In conclusion, Gladstone says ho al-ways held, both iu public and private, that tho national party of Ireland ought to remain entirely independent of the liberal party of Great Britain. It is their duly and bis duty, conformably with the spirit of Gratton and O'Couuell to study all adjustments in the great matter of home rule, which may tend to draw to their side moderate and equit-able men. But for him to propose any measure except such as Ireland could approve on tho lines already laid down, would be gratuitous as re-gards himself and treachery to the Irish nation, in which even by the side of Parnell, ho cati claim to take an in-terest.

Philadelphia, Nov. 29. Tho failure of li. K. Jamison A; Co. divided tho at-tention of the street this morning with the startling publication of John A. Barker, jr., gigantio forgeries. The general opinion seems that the failure of Jamison & Co. will bo worse than at lirst reported.

M THE PLAINTIFF3 WILL APPEAL, q0 A Brief Digest and Syllabus of aDeoision That Will Interest a Large Q Number. j Pay your laves! 0 This was the mandatory syllabus of a flj decree that was promulgated by Judge jj Anderson in his department of the Thin) district donrt at 10 o'clock this morning, on which occasion tho chain- - f bers were stilled with tax payers, lofty Q and luminous stars of the legal firma- - H incut, and minions of a court that has f-- been literally buried iu books for H a week or more. The Q case is ono that has oc- - rj copied attention for more than two weeks and is one that interests a large r. number of persons. It originated in an E? expostulation on tho part of certain U citizens against the collection of a ! school tax that was levied by the old J board of education. The legality of tho levy was disputed and the tax payer applied for a permanent in-junction restraining Collector Hardy from tho enforcement thereof. This was the result of a mass meeting, in which demurers fell thick as chaff on threshing day. The best legal talent in tho territory was consulted and it was finally resolved to put tho problem in tho judicial furnace. A petition was tiled, and in the lirst heat brought forth it knotty question of law on which tho fato of the entire issue was made to hinge. The defence lodged a demurrer in which it was contended that the petition was filled with fatal faults and errors, which move brought out ail the merits of the case. Three days were devoted to arguments that were as able as have been heard in tha west. The ease was linally submitted, as was also a column of authorities that would have taxed an ordinary library Into theso his honor looked with char-acteristic integrity, ami at 10 o'clock this morning tho subscribers to the pe-tition were informed that the tax was legal and would have to be paid. This disappointed the plaintiffs, but tickled the board of education. Notice of appeal was given at once, wheu a temporary injunction re-straining tho collection was Is-sued, pending the action of the supremo court. Tho case gathers inter-est with each chapter and will bo at-tentively watched until th lofty lights of tho court of last resort pufthoir seal upon if-.- .', " . - "-- - In the matter of the application ot tho United States to have a certain camp building on tho lino of the Salt Lake & Port Douglas railway removed on the ground that it was obnoxious to tho waters that were used by the inhabitants of ion, Assistant District Attorney Critch-lo- w appeared for tho government and Mr, Richard W.

Mr. Critehlow speaking to the question of ejectment, stated tl.nt while bo desired to inflict no hardship upon tho defendants he did regard it as de-cidedly essential to the welfare of the mortal who drinks water to have a camp removed that was polluting tho stream. The court, who also believes that pure water is one of the grandest legacies of lif or-dered that the offense be removed with-in thirty dayn and "if" not within that period to so' report.

The Man with a l'Ateut. There were only lutlf a dozen people In the palace car all day long, and after dinner, when tho man who had been sleeping and reading in seat No, 12 came over to mo for a chat, I welcomed him with open arms. lie said his name was Saunders, mid that he had a patent or improvement on some part of a loco--, motive. Ho was going through to Cin-- ! cinnati to have it perfected or adopted or something of the sort. Uo had been in partnership with a mean man a man who had tried to swindle him out of a fortune. To get even he had stolen the patent and run away. Uo had it with him in a valise. That was all ho said just then, but later on he confided to me the fact that at a towa about thirty miles away this wicked partner of his might possibly bo on baud to board the train and attempt to wrest the treasure from his keeping. II wanted my ad-vice, nnd I offered to take charge of the v:Jise. IJe thanked me with greut ef-fusiveness, and as wo approached lbs town he shut hirceeLf into the smoking compartment. v As tho train drew up I saw an old ac-quaintance on the platform, and while we were talking a posso was limiting thq train for my friend. They didn't find him, as ho had dropped oil and struck out for the country. I went on to Cin-cinnati, faking his valise along, and al-though I was there four days ho didn't show up. I arranged to leave it with the landlord, and it was carried to tho office to be opened by a meddlesome clerk. Instead of a patent it contained wedges, drills, a brace, f ut.e and other neat lit-tle devices for successfully working a burglar's job, and it cost me two days of the hardest kind of talk to satisfy tho chief of police that I wasn't in it. I had ridden over 100 miles with a full fledged burglar, and one who had mado his mark, and I must say lie was a better talker and more of a gentleman than any governor I ever met. New York Sun.

POINTS OF GENERAL INTEREST FROM WANNAMAKER'S REPORT. lie Recommend the KMtuhlUhment of Toi-t- al Kavliitf HankR Aa Kcjrarris Pontuffe l'ontmafttera ItPiuoveU and Appointed. Washington. Nov. 29. The postma-ster- general, in his annual report, shows that during tho past year over two hundred thousand dollars was saved on postal card contracts. The cards, though inferior at lirst, were quickly brought up to tho required standard. Four hundred thousand dol-lars was saved in stamped envelope con-tracts, and two hundred thousand dol-lars on certain mail carrying. At the same time mail routes have been extended over almost two million miles of railway, steamboat and stage lines. Tho gross revenue was nearly $.", 000,000 larger than ever Almost 5000 new postollic.es, more than in any one year before, have been established upon petitions of com-munities. Touching on the postal telegraphs schema, the. postmaster-genera- l says the swiftest mail is not fast enough in these days for the needs of commerce aud special correspondence. Iu ono form or another the public imperatively demands cheaper telegraphy and tho postotlico department can supply it at less cost than any corporation. Under tho head, "A New Plan for Postal Savings Bank," the report rec-ommends that the postolliee depart-ment be authorized to establish postal savings banks under regulations formu-lated by the postmaster general. 'They aro to be located in states hav-ing no laws regulating savings banks; in any other htate upon the petition of any considerable num-ber of residents in any one locality Regarding reduced postage, the postma-ster- general says, in part: "In point of fact there is a clear gain of nearly thirty million dollars from letter post-age. This largo profit with tho annual deficit (which last year amounted to $0,7W,300) is all swallowed up by losses on other classes of mail matter carried at less than cost of distribution and handling. The amount received from Tetter postage last year was about thirty-eigh- t millions. Tho reduction to tho one cent rate would bring this down to nineteen millions. The deficiency for tho current, year is "about four and oue half millions, which would make a total delicicney of $.'3,n00,000. This, de-ficiency would be reduced by tho nat-ural increase of business due to the stimulus of a low rate and by tho com-pletion of pending legislation to collect proper postage from sample copies of newspapers and from paper cov-ered books. By the sample copy business alone over ono million dollars is annually lost to the revenue and in the transportation of paper covered books considerable more than one mil-lion dollars is kept out of the postal in-come for the benefit of certain book publishers. The deficiency under the ono cent rate might be still further re-duced by the adoption of improved de-vices from time to time, which would save time and money. The most for midable item, however, is $,0()0.-00- 0 worth of work performed annually without pay for the executive departments. If they had to pay post-age revenue that would be s.i(Ki,00i) more annually than now. The re-sources of the department for the fiscal year were Jli'l.Hsn.H.Si; expenditures and liabilities, $iiii,C4,'i,0N3. The deficiency for tho year, therefore, is $i),7Wi.:ioo.'"

A rrartifal I.rimon. One chilly evening the sitting room in which my pupils and I sat was warmed by a grate fire. Shaking out some small live coals, 1 bade tho boys observe which of them turned black soonest. They were quick to see that the smallest did, but they w'ere unable to tell why. They were reminded of the rulo they had committed to paper, but to no purpose, until 1 broke a largo glowing coal into a score of fragments which became black almost at once. Then oue of them cried, 'Why, smashing that coal gave it more surface!" This young fellow was study-ing the elements of astronomy at school, so I had him give us some account of how the planets differ from ono another in size, how the moon compares with the earth in mass, and how vastly larger than any of its worlds is the sun. Explaining to him tho theory of the solar system's fiery origin, I shall not soon forget his keen delight in which the others presently shared when it burst upon him that because tho moon is much smaller than tho earth it must bo much colder; that, indeed, it is like a small cinder compared with a largo one. It was eaty to advance from this tp un-derstanding why Jupiter, with eleven times the diameter of tho earth, still glows faintly in tho sky, and then to note that tho sun pours out its wealth of heat and light because the immensity of its bulk ban, comparatively speaking, so little surface to radiate from.
