The St. Louis Evening Post of*lhe 12th publishes a statement to the effect that the State Treasurer had, during his whole term of office, carried among his assets a worthless check on the Mastin Bank for 1296,- 000, which was accepted by the Legislative Examining Committee as cash. This, with other amounts of a like nature, makes a total deficit of over 9500,000, in addition to the amounts lost by the failure of the National Bank 6f the State of Missouri and the Mastin Bank. The Treasurer's bond is said to be practically worthless. The PoeVs authority for these statements is not given. A Berlin dispatch of the 13th says Bismarck had instructed the German Ambas­ sador at Constantinople to Inform the Porte that the continuance of an ambiguous policy would risk the existence of Turkey in Europe. One of the boldest and most daring train robberies that ever occurred in the West took place about half-past one o'clock, on the morning of the 13th, about one mile below Winthrgp Junction, opposite Atchison, Kan. Four men boarded the passenger train, bound south, at Winthrop Junction, getting on the platform between the baggage car and the first coach. When the conductor started to go through the train from the baggage car, the leader of the four men pointed two re­ volvers toward him, and ordered him back into the baggage car. The robbers then en­ tered the car, and ordered the baggageman and a young man with him to hold up their hands, which they did. Frank Baxter, ex­ press agent, was sitting in a chair in the light­ ed end of the car, his bills in his lap and the exDress safe open beside him, busy with his work, when a revolver was suddenly thrust in his face, and he was ordered to hold up his hands. The leader of the gang then deliber­ ately transferred the money in the safe, about $5,000, to a sack they had with them. With their pistols in his face they then ordered the conductor to stop the train, and he pulled the bell-rope. As the train slowed up the robbers backed out of the car, 6till covering the in­ mates with their pistols, and disappeared In the darkness. The entire work was done in five miuutes,and none of the many passengers on the train knew of the robbery until the perpetrators had ejeaped.

A Berlin dispatch of the 14th says that, since the attempted assassination of the Emperor Wilhelm by Nobeling, there had been 563 arrests for insulting the Emperor.

Out of this demon­ stration grew several serious distnrbances, the Unionists assembling in large numbers in what is called Lower Town, and threatening and assailing the Orangemen. Several col­ lisions occurred, and the military had to be called out to quell the riotous demonstrations, which extended over a period of three days and nights. During the melee, on the 13th, the Britons attacked and demolished several buildings and used firearms freely. Several persons were injuied, and several arrests were made by the authorities. The train conveying the Mon­ treal Young Britons home was fired into, on the morning of the 14th, at Gloucester Sta­ tion, but no one was inlured. The excitement in Ottawa continued late into the night of the 14th, but the efforts of the Ma\or, assisted by leading citizens of both factions, to preserve the peace and disperse the crowds were finally successful. The National Greenback party of Connecticut held their State Convention at New Haven, qn the 14th, and nominated a full ticket, headed by Charles Atwatcr for Governor, and Henry Manchester for Lieu­ tenant-Governor. The resolutions adopted denounce both the old political parties for their financial legislation, and demand the issue of a new and full legal-tender paper money, and the payment of the outstanding bonds in absolute money as soon as possible; the repeal of the Resumption act; the estab­ lishment of Postal Savings Banks; an income tax; oppose the importation of servile Chi­ nese labor; denounce all seditious and violent measures, and look to the ballot-box only for the redressing of grievances. Thirty-three new cases of yellow- fever and six deaths where reported ih Mem­ phis for the twenty-four hours ending at nine p. m., on the 15th. Nearly all the towns in all directions around that city were quaran­ tined against it, and the same may be said of other infected Southern localities. Great ex­ citement still existed in Grenada, Miss., where the disease was continually spreading. City Marshal and Acting-Mayor Molten tele­ graphed ta> the Mayor of Wilmington, N. C., that tue town was a graveyard, and •SWifc for help to pay nurses and buiy the dead; the Mayor was dying and he was the only city officer left. Not over 800 whites were left in the place. Four new cases were reported at Vicksburg. A tow- boat, with several cases of fever on board, ar­ rived at Cincinnati, but was not permitted to land. It was going to Pittsburgh.

There were ninety-eight new cases and seventeen deaths reported in New Orleans for the twenty-four hours ending at noon on the 15th. Of the deaths seven were children under five years of age. The Colorado Greenback State Con­ vention, recently in sossion at Denver, nomi- naieu R. G. Buckingham lor Governor, P. A. Simmons for Lieutenant-Governor, and J. E. Washburn for Secretary. A full ticket was put in the field. The platform declares for the issue by the Government of a full legal- tender absolute paper money; the immediate repeal of the Specie-Resumption and National Banking laws, and against the further issue of Government bonds, and favors a tax on all Incomes over f1,000. t A Vienna dispatch of the 15th re­ ports another Austrian defeat in Bosnia. The dispatch adds that it was at last recognized that the arrangements for the Austrian oc­ cupation of the Turkish Provinces were inad­ equate, and that new plans had been devised. J. W. Davis is the Greenback candi­ date for Congress in Nebraska ; L. G. Todd for Governor and O. T. B. Williams for Secre­ tary of State. The platform demands that the coinage of silver be placed upon a footing with gold; the repeal of the National Bank­ ing law; public lands for actual settlers; the abolition of the importation of coolies; and declares that the Government has the power to issue absolute paper money. THE POTTER INVESTIGATING} COM­ MITTEE. THE Potter Investigating Committee resumed its sessions in New York, on the 12th, but in the absence of several members no wit­ nesses were examined. Gen. Butler asked that Stanley Matthews be summoned. Mr. Potter said he had been sum­ moned a few days before, and had replied that previous engagements would prevent his attend­ ance. Mr. Batier said that if Matthews' answer meant that, he would not respond to the sum­ mons, th® sooner the issue was made between the House of Representatives and Senate the better. He moved that it be entered on the reo- ord that " Matthews refuses to appear before the Committee, and that the s-ame be reported to the House for their action in the matter." ~ The Chairman said he would entertain the motion, but thought it better to await the presence of the absent members before taking a vote. . WM. H. ROBERTS, editor of the N. O. Timet, was examined, on the 13th, and testified that he believed Nicholls and Tilden carried Louisiana. Witness spoke of the visit of Gov. Hnye«, in 1866 or 1868, to investigate the cause of the riots. He was a goud shot and a tjood talker, and made friends for his party. Witness also knew Mr. Foster, of Ohio, ana believed him truthful and inclined to talk as he felt. Mr. Roberts said he was selected to K® to Ohio and ascertain the views of Gov. Hayes, and what policv he would adopt in case of his election to tiie Presidency. He was about giving the result of his conversation with Mr. Halstead, who gave him a sealed letter to Hayes, when Mr. Hiscock, of the Committee, objected to tiueufcions and an­ swer* tending to throw mud upon the President. An excited discussion followed, between Gen. Butler and Mr. Hiscock, when the Chairman overruled the objection and the witness detailed, at length, his interview with Halstead and his BiiijHequent interviews with Hayes and Lamar. Halsu-ad told him that IlaycB waa a good fellow and would do what was right by the Soutn, to which witness replied tiiat he had come from the South on purpose to find that out. HalNtoad then ?ave him the sealed letter of introduction to Hayes. He did not know ooutentrt !>f that letter, Mr. ltob -rts said his tvrview with Gov. Haven was of an exceeding­ ly pleaHant character, and he learned that the Governor entertained the most friendly feeling toward the South. The witness told him that the estate must be saved, at all hazards, to the Democrats, and that whatever he threw over would in that respect be of the least value to them. He also told the Governor that they could establish or nhow a majority of 13,000. Gov. Hayes to id the witness that he had no desire for the Presidency, unless he were counted in fairly. He •poke very kindly and courteously of the South. The witness detailed at length conversations he had at various times, before the matter was defi­ nitely settled, with Mr. Lamar and others. The witness t-aid, from conversations with various Republican leaders, he understood that if l/ouis- utna and South Carolina were counted for Hayes the Government of those States would be given to the Democrats. They proceeded «n thu as­ surance and the assurances were carried out. Gefcu Butler observed that such assurances seemed to IK; of much the same nature as a bar­ gain. In the course of further evidence the witness said he was offered the position ot Naval Officer, but recommended that it be given to a "nigger." He would not take any nuch position where he would be obliged to take care of Kenner, of the Returning Board. Gen. Grant's order, known as the Snif- fen order, was isaued a »hort tiuie before he went out of office, at the urgent solicitation of the Republicans. Whan he left New Orleans to call on Gov. Hayes he believed the Returning Board would declare Packard elected. In that conver­ sation Hayos t~id him he did not want the office ho act it fairly. Gen. Orr* !y wsw prrscr-t at the time. Hayes caid his letter of occuptancs was not a mere empty f^rm of woiui, but he iatcaded to live up to it in its fcccciicst aud intruded to treat the people of thuU.Kitii v-itlila<-.j"*"'He • .idnoth­ ing aa to which Btate Government he would reoog- ara> in Louisiana. lis understood " fairness and Justice" to mcau the withdrawal of the troops and the election of the weinon receiving the high­ est vote. He believed flu ves to be a well-mean- htmeet aaam GS-ea, butler eross-examined the witness as to whether he did not understand " jastiee and fairness ' to mean the recognition of ttae Democratic Government. _ He replied that HayeM sMwie uu yloujjCT vl «u»y Itiuu, and the wit- nwwiu left, to infer what thetss words meant. Gen. Gutter tried to show that they implied a bargain. The witness admitted that when re­ lating his talk with Hayes te> Ms friends he accompanied the information with,'the state­ ment that he understood Louisiana was to be saved. An article in the old- time regular " bloodv-«hirt" style, published in the Ohio State Journal, and given as Hayes' sentiments toward the South, created great ex­ citement, until it was proved that Gov. Haytts held no such opinions, and never authorised the article. In reply to a question from Gen. Butler whether he understood from Hayes that, in case of his eleotlon to the Presidency, the State of Ijoniwiana would be given over to tne Democracy, witness replied lie understood from Hayes' man­ ner and conversation that the Nioholls Govern­ ment would be given a chance to establish itself. ON the 14th, Col. William H. Roberts was recalled, and testified to his familiarity with political affairs in Louisiana. He said the visit­ ing statesmen were aot consulted in respect to the Hayes rbii* Witeess had merely remarked to Stevenson, Matthews and Sherman that tne situation of the whites in the State had beoome d> Hperate. The apprehenasoBS about the action of r he K^turninjr Board was what led to the Ohio vmit.' The J-soumiana Democrats wanted to know what course Hayes would take if declared elected, and in the wnvernation between the President and witncHH the former knew perfectly well that the latter was talking for the Democracy. He understood Hayes to mean, although he did not WY BO in direct terms, that the Nicholls Government would be recognised. Witness did not hear of any forged election cer­ tificates in Louisiana. He understood that the military would be withdrawn after the Pth of March, and that they---the Packard Government --would be let down easily. That was the ob­ ject in view when the Mcveagh Commission was sent to New Orleans. He first beard of the Com- nupsioB in February. It was looked upon some­ what a» a farce, as it was understood tnat the (.H>mmiHsion had come to a predetermined con­ clusion. The object of placing a Democrat on that Commission was to give it the appearance of fairnesn, and provide a channel for inforniati<>n an to the doings of the Commis­ sion. Matthews. Foster, Garfield, Dennison and fcvarte mid the Packard Government Bhouid be let down easy. John li. fieet testified as to his appointment to a lucrative office and drawing the pay without performing the duties thereot, and to a general " dicker in office. He also r«*lat< ~ " which the following appears: 1 don't expect any- thin* that is decent from Hayes for UUUIM na.

JOHN A. LEET was recalled, on the 15th, and testified that Anderson, on return from East Feliciana, told him that he had carried out the programme arranged between Kellogg, Anderson and himself, which was to keep colored Republicans from voting HO that the Returning lioard could throw out the entire vote, if neces­ sary. Anderson told witneos that he did not in­ tend to make a protest- until he found out how the land lay. He and witness both agreed that the Republicans in Louisiana were defeated, but •~crc ccrteun ih&t, thnceh defeated, tuey won id somebow achieve success, in an interview with Kellogg, that official stated that he would count in Hayes anyhow. Witness knew very well that Sherman and the visiting statesmen had come down to steal the State, and be­ lieved that, . even without Anderson's pro­ test, they would have thrown out the vote. Witness further said: "They would manufacture a lot of affidavits just for the mor­ al appearance of the thmjf." Kellogg wanted witness us manuiMciure umdavira, but ne re- fosed. He had never done wtong iu hi» life, and had sacrificed many brilliant opportunities, be­ cause the methods proposed ran counter to the teachings or his conscience. He tiiougkt, by v.-irlcing Anderson he should get enough evi­ dence out of him to expose the whole thing and make a sensation and his fortune. He couldn't say what he would have done if some one had offered him $100,000 to keep quiet, and the high moral statesmen had come pressing around him to keep his mouth shut. When Anderson told him he had signed the protest and pot no money for it. he told him the visiting statesman and Kellogg would leave him in the mud. Witness told bim if he held out with his protests, he could get documents from those visiting states­ men that would make them his slaves for the re­ mainder of their political lives. About this time Anderson began jumping around and threaten­ ing to whip Pitkin, Kellogg and everyone else. " Kellogg and others called on me one day and "said, ' Come, old fellow, I. want to introduce you to the viKiting statesmen." The statesmen ad­ mired the half in the Naval Office, and then thev edged toward 6 the affidavit mill.'" Witness told Kellogg he would not go to such a lot of old frauds. He waa afraid that if he met them they might get sometuingout of him. Anderson told witness that he and Weber had had an interview with Bherman, and that he had promised him everything. Witness then continued: " I told An­ derson he was an unmitigated lunatic to believe in anything but a written contract. He said he wai promised the Naval Office, and I told him he would never gat It, and be hasn't. Another day he called on me and said: 'I've got it.' I re­ plied, "What have yon got? taffy?' He said. * No, sir; I've got them fixed.1 He pulled out a letter, and said it waa from John Sherman, and that it was a letter giving hint the Naval Of­ fice. He showed me John Sherman's name at the foot of the letter, bat refused to let me see the remainder of the letter. I had a talk with Dar- rail and Kellogg abont that letter. Kellogg said the letter was only a general oiw, and non-com­ mittal. Kellogg and! considered the count of votes finished before it waa begun. I rooke with Stun-all about the Sherman letter, and he said it Eave no grip to Anderson, on the statesmen. They ad » hold on him, however, on his protest, ft he had opened his mouth, for the documents they could have produced Ms sworn protest and have him up for perjury.

Some of the re­ cent importations in the capote shape have large capes made of foundation covered with shirred silk or gathered lace ruffles. Parasols With long walking-stick han­ dles are much used at foreign water­ ing-places. Ladies who are fond of walking find them serviceable. They are called duchess parasols. Those made of percale are edged with wash laces. Serviceable skirts of red llannel ire made of serge or Quaker llannel, and have side plaitings edged with narrow torchon laue. This plaiting is set up about an inch from the bottom of the skirt. For mountain or sea-shore walks the dress is looped slightly over these. A favorite style of aress for young girls is the " blouse" polonaise. It is made loose to the figure, is held by a belt and is sometimes fitted in front by two darts. Thin materials make up very well ih this way. The fronts of this style of dress are some­ times left open all the way down and a puffed front inserted. They have small mantillas added for street wear. Many pretty effects are given to the simplest dresses by the present taste for em­ broidery. A pi incesse dress for a young girl, of dark blue linen. has a front or plastron of light blue zephyr, em­ broidered in darker shades. The flounce and ruffles are also embroidered. The hair is worn very much lower. It no longer is disheveled, but is laid in more orderly fashion on the fore­ head in small natural waves or curls. It is parted, and the large square chignon begins half-way back and spreads itself downward to the neck, almost as low as the catogan braid. Handsome combs with balls are worn, wMch, wl»en 1 he hat ia flaring, make an inside ornament. With this style of head-dress narrow bands of ribbon are worn around the head set close to the chignon, with a rosette or bow on each" side. Instead of these, bands are worn in the evenings, gold or jeweled bands for full-dress, or else large gold-head- ed pins, stuck at irregular intervals in the hair. There is a new shape in bonnets for those persons who like something a little different from the universal car pote. It is the creation of a well- known French house, and has been worn a great deal at the recent French races. It is made of Italian straw, is in the shape of a large sailor hat and is worn at tne back of the head. There are three ways of trimming it. One way is with a wreath of held or wild flowers around the crown, and another wreath inside the brim, on the hair. Another way is to wind A scarf of silk the same color as the straw around the crown, with a bunch of feathers of the same shade on the left, and a small bunch of flowers inside just above the ear. The third way is to mingle scarfs of velvet and a long Amazonian plume, which are held by a buckle of gold fili­ gree.--N. Y.

THE tenth annual reunion of the old set* tiers of Morgan and Cass Counties took place at Little Indian Station, some nine miles north of Jacksonville, on the 8th. Ten thou­ sand people were present, and the occasion was one of the most interesting ever held. Old-time relics in large numbers were dis­ played, and reminiscences of early days re­ cited by numerous old settlers. A CHICAGO hardware firm has been In the habit of giving to its teamster a ticket for each load carted by him. Whenever he re­ ports a load of " in" freight, he is given a red ticket with the name of the firm stamped on it, and for every load of "out" freight re­ ported, a blue ticket with a similar stamp. At the end of the month these tickets are presented to the firm's cashier and by him paid. It so happened that this particular teamster got into dissipated ways and began pledging his tickets as he got them. Just be­ fore pay-day came it was his habit to go to the person with whom he had hypothecated them and go with him to the cashier's desk. He stated that if the tickets were presented by another than himself it might lead to the asking of questions. So the two were in the habit of going together. The teamster pre­ sented the tickets, and drew the money, which he handed over to his friend. But, in addi­ tion to hypothecating the last batch of tick­ ets received by him, he also became indebted to the firm. When these outstanding docu­ ments were presented, the firm refused to pay them, saying that they had a set-off in the form of this claim against the teamster. The holder of the tickets denies this, stating that these tickets are like promissory notes, passing from hand to hand, to be paid to the last holder, and that no claim for an offset could legitimately be made. It is to settle this point that a suit has been brought, which will have to be settled by the Supreme Court, as both parties are gritty. MART CORNISH, an inmate of the Northern Insane Asylum, escaped from that institution, the other day, and drowned herself.

The Court consists of Judge Craig, of the Supreme Bench, and Judges Qoodspeed and Vandever, of the Circuit Bench, The total amount of claims presented Is 92,679,- 657.62, most of which are very old and of doubtful character. The duty of this Court, according to the statute, is only to pass upon the equity of the claims, leaving to the Gen­ eral Assembly the duty of making an appro- priatlon to pay them. AT West York, in Crawford County, recently, Egvert Church was shot and fatally wounded by Basil Walters. Some time since Church married Walters' sister, and, it is alleged, shamefully abused her, till she left him and went back to her father's house. The matter created a bitter feeling between the families, and Church swore he would kiU the whole Walters' family. One afternoon, while riding out, Church met young Walters, and, rising in his buggy, said he would shoot him, whereupon Walters ran home to procure his gun, Church following him, and, as Walters came out of the house, Church again rose as if to shoot Walters, when the latter fired, put­ ting seven buckshot in Church's bowels. Church was fatally hurt Walters gave him­ self up. GEORGE CLEVELAND'S house, four miles east of Qulncy, was burned on the morning of the 13th. Loss, $3,500. The fire was the work of an incendiary. About two months ago his barn was burned, evidently by the same parties, when an effort was made to burn the house also, but that failed. laxation ana sleep. In college it if much worse. There, saooess is possi­ ble to but a small portion of each class. The London Lancet affirms that about 40 per cent, of the candidates for the* scientific M.

The medical officer to Rugby School,, speaking of the mental strain at the- nniversities, where the young men feel ' that their success or failure will make- or mar their career, says: 44 Here the> dement of anxiety comes into play;, sleep is disturbed, exercise neglected^ digestion suffers, and the inevitable re­ sult follows of total collapse, from whieh recovery is slow, and perhaps never" complete." It is no better on this side of the ̂ Atlantic. We could give many exam- 1 pies of constitutions ruined, minds- shattered and early deaths induced, by the inevitable working of our educa­ tional system. It should bo understood by parent*, pupils and teachers, that heaithy devel­ opment is alwavs slow, and can never be safely forced. The mind has many faculties, each of Which equally nee<& developing. Memory is jwst that on© which Nature brings along earliest and almost without aid, and which can best take care of itself. The higher powers come forward only after the body has properly matured. To force these earlier, incurs the risk of subsequent: 44 collapse." We wish everv reader would remem­ ber that education^ only begins, in our institutions of learning. Its largest and best part is wrought out in the business,, intercourse and various intellectual opportunities of life.--Youth's Com, panion. Destructive Tornado at Walllngfordy, Conn-* WALLIHQFOHD, Conn., Aug. 9. A TERRIBLE tornado passed over- Walliagford about six this afternoon,, and blew over houses, uprooted trees,, and caused the greatest devastation. It i? estimated that the killed will num­ ber at present at least twenty (since stated at thirty), while the wounded, will reach twice that number. Tele­ graph wires and poles were blown, down, making it impossible to commu­ nicate with JNew Haven on the south oil" Meriden or Hartford to the north. Without warning, the tornado, with hail and rain, swept across the north­ ern part of the town, from west to east,, and everything movable in its course was carried away. It seemed to last but a moment, but its results were frightful. Afterward a light rain fell,, and this soon ceased, and at eight o'clock the moon shone brightly down, upon a scene of desolation. By actual* count, forty dwelling-houses were de­ molished, and at least fifty barns. The soene was a memorable one. The wooden houses were carried clear off their foundations from a few feet to- the eighth of a mile. In the line of the tornaUo nothing was left standing, and. on each side of its track lessei damage was done, chimneys especial'y suffer­ ing. The Catholio Church, wooden, and the new brick high school were to­ tally demolished. The top of the brick factory of the Wallingfora Community was carried away. Fires were commu­ nicated to the ruins in many cases by lamps and stoves, and but for the rainr the horror of the afiair would have been greatly increased. A youth named Matthew Mooney was standing on the railroad track, by the tornado. He was picked up fifty feet away almost beheacted. Mrs. Huidy had her child in her arms. When picked up both were dead>. and almost scalped. Fred Little wood was picked up dead on the side of the road where he was- killed by flying timbers. He was comb­ ing home from work. Four female rel­ atives of John Munson, up town, were- buried in the cellar of the house when blown down, and it took a long while to get them out. Two were injured-,, slightly; the other two were unhurt. \g~ Michael Kelly, while driving in a* buggy in the eastern part of town, wae blown over a precipice some twenty feet. He and his horse were slightly injured. One man "had three small dwelling-­ houses swept out of existence. Barns- were lifted clear of the hay contained therein, and the latter left standing. «The roofs.of-Lik-aiiiei'aWe !:-u^oa wei* - taken ofi. • C ? Little John Hoey, aged twelve, fear­ ing trains would be delayed, rode on horseback six miles to Meriden to get. medical aid. THE richest club in New York, if not in the United States, is the Unioni League, which is said to-have a sur­ plus of $200,000 invested in Govern­ ment bonds. Fatal in Education. CRAMMING the memory--no matter with what--is no more education than stuffing the stomach is bodily growth. And yet, from the primary school to the university, so much is pnt into the several courses of study, that with the average student cramming is the only alternative, and this notwithstanding the constant reminder that to educate is not to put in, but to 44 draw out." Even in our public schools only the best students can fully master the many stu1':prescribed. This is done even by t Uu at at the expense of needed re- THE MARKETS* NKWYOBK. ^ August 16. 1878.
