Ocean Freight Kates IVoin Have
Yerk: to Sam Franeisco.
New York, June 23. The Pa
cific Mail company ibis morning
gave notice that they were pre-
tliey would dispatch three steamers
per month, viz: on the 10th, 20th
and 30th. The rates named are
$3 per 100 pounds for first-class
freight, 82 for second-class, 1 50
for third-class and SI for fourth or
special class. This announcement
was not unexpected and created
no surprise, as it is the general
opinion that it will not last, but
that a new deal will be had with
the railroads.
A Loud Zic-nic near Chicago.
Chicago, June 23. The Lehr
and WehrVerein, which held a
pic-nic yesterday outside the city,
made no eifert on their return to
release prisoners, as was feared. It
seems that the pic-nic was given
by a Bohemian Sunday school, and
that a numerous gang of drunken
roughs had all along given con
siderable trouble, until finally
those in charge of matters sent for
the Sharp Shooters as a protection.
They arrived at about three
o'clock, and shortly after that time
Trouble began as related. The
lieutenant to-night denies that lie
gave the order to fire, but says
that after he had cleared the
grounds by a bayonet charge there
was such a rain of stones and
sticks that his men began a desul
tory fire without orders. The
members of the company all re
fuse to talk; 17 are detained, the
others having been released. The
arrival oS- the police to conduct
them to the station probably saved
them from personal violence, which
was threatened bv the surrounding
excited mob of about 2000.
Gen. Sully' Heirs
Washington, June 23. A story
comes from Dakota, to the effect
that a half-breed daughter of the
late Gen. Sully, now living at
White Swan's village, and a mem
ber of the Sioux tribe, will be the
rightful heir of his property, Sully,
it is said, left a valuable estate in
Philadelphia; also considerable ac
cumulation of money. It is stated
that he had no lawful wife, or other
issue but this daughter, Julia, a tall,
handsome girl, but wholly unedu
cated, at present making her home
in the family of Collins Lamount,
a man of mixed blood, and that
steps are about being taken to
establish her right to the fortune.
The marriage of Sully to her
mother, according to the indian
fashion, is stated to be susceptible
of proof. It is certainly true that
Sully, like a good many officers of
the army, including Jeff. Davis
and one or two generals, now
very high in command left
illegitimate children among the
indians, and it is well known on
the Missouri river that one or two
handsome girls, nearly white, living
in camp on little Pheasant until a
short time since, hare been con
sidered Sully's children.
A glass of whisky sells for a dime,
and is drunk in a minute, says Bro.
Merry, of the Dalles Inland Empire.
It fires the brain, and deranges and
weakens the physical system. On the
aame table lies a newspaper. It is
covered with half a million type; it
brings intelligence from the four
quarters of the globe. The newspaper
costs less than half the glass of grog;
but it is none the less true that there
is a large number of people who think
-whisky cheap, and newspapers dear.
Mining operations have suspended
by the Northern Pacific Railroad
company at Wilkeson, and the pumps
withdrawn. It seems that under the
Lite management the work was ill
advisedly commenced, and earned
forward. General Sprague at once
made an examination of the mines
and works and, as a consequence,
euspended operations.

We have thegreatsatisfactionof
informing our readers that negotia
tions, begun at the instance of the
World eighteen months ago, for
the purpose of securing to the city
of New York the grand obelisk
now standing at Alexandria in

that
has
most graciously and liberally of
fered this magnificent monument
to the great commercial metropolis
of the new world. The official
papers announcing the success of
these negotiations have been
received at the State Department,
and the necessary arrangements
for bringing the obelisk here and
setting it up in some conspicuous
public place, to be an ornament
and an honor to the city forever,
having been long ago provided
for bj' the splendid liberality of
a single citizen of New York, the
business details of the transfer will
be prosecuted with all proper and
possible celerity.
Paschal Plant of Baltimore, is re
ported to have invented a machine for
separating gold from earth or gravel
without the use of water. This has
been a desideratum to gold miners for
many years. Several of his machines
have been shipped to California.
At a meeting of the Paris munici
pality a few days ago attention was
called to a Catholic edition of "Uncle
Tom's Cabin," copies of which had
been distributed as prizes even in a
secular school, containing notes, ac
cording to which slavery is not con
trary to natural order, and some la
borers would be happier if slaves. An
assurance was given that such works
would be expunged from the prize
catalogue.
