It seems that this plan of making k flve-cent package at smoking tobacco originated with a firm in New Orleafes, who promptly patented it When the intern*! revenue office ruled that such packages wem In violation of law, and oqIbdhI yy 17 n i y this Am obtained from a local cotfrt an injunction against the internal revenue officers, in direct (Uiflaiice of section 3,284, revised Btatutes, which says: "No suit for the purpose of restraining the ai»8Smen't or collection of any tax shall be maintained in any court." The commissioner of internal revenue, on learning of the injunction, imoediately ordered the district attorney to remove the proceedings to the United States ooorta, but a difficulty in the way of carrying out these instructions was found In the fact that from June to November in each year, in New Orleans, the United States courts are seldom in session there.

The "l~rr—*- Im* a Persoaal Appaai to Tl"*" a Hash os the Home The Labor Advocate Opposes the Heelection of Men on its I4sN-The KepuMtcaas Stirring Their Tareea^The New York, Sept. 11.—ft was definitely ascertained yesterday that a reconciliation had taken place between G. P. Morosini and his daughter Victoria and that she is now in her father's house, whither she Went upon leaving her husband's home in this city twelve days ago. A little leas than two years of life with the man for whom she-had forsaken ease and luxury has apparently satisfied her that she took a false step, and it required but little persuasion to induoe her to return home. New York, Sept 11.—The sloop Mayflower I and the cutter Galatea were lyinp: at anchor yesterday afternoon near Bay Ridge, with sails hung up to dry out the moisture of the previous day's fog. The Mayflower arrived i at the anchorage at It) o'clock Thursday I evening; the Galatea did not get there until 8 o'clock yesterday morning. She anchored outside the Hook Thursday night at about 10 o'clock. The Mayflower, after the time limit of seven hours had sotpired Thursday evening, took in all light canvas, and runeinc: under easy sail, under Hie skillful pilotage of "Joe" Ellsworth, arrived at the Scotland lightship at 8:30, and there secured a tugboat, which, for the modest consideration of WO, successfully dragged her through the fog to her moorings off Bay Ridge. Both yachts are ready for the race to-day, and both are praying for wind. The indications are that there will be a good breeze, coming first from the south, shifting to the west in the afternoon. Much indignation is expressed by disappointed Britons, grieved at the ill success of the Galatea, and the blame of her successive defeats is attributed to Mr. Beavor Webb, who has been at her tiller. A skipper of a British bark said yesterday: "It is too bad that the chances of a boat as fine as that should be ruined by allowing a commercial traveler to sail her instead of having a sailorman at the stick. If Henn D'had pot confidence enough in his own captain he might have secured Pittuck, who sailed the Bedouin, or Admiral or Barr, who the Clara. I wouldn't ask to have a Yankee skipper at the helm, because they are not used to boats of this kind, and might not do any better than Webb has done, though they couldn't do worse. I am not saying that she could beat the Moyfl«war, no matter who handled her, hot she could make some sort of a show, and not be a* disgracefully beaten as she has he«L. Capt. Bradford and the entire crew of the Galatea hare no confidence in Webb, and doat work with ' any heart when he is at the stick. Of course, it's too late now to affect the result as regards the AmericA's cup, but I do hope, before thai boat leaves American waters, she. will hate aj char je to sail one race, with a drilled prote(ieciftl at the helm. She's a good boat, batten than tte Ganesta, but she has been sailed most outrageously." It is said that the challenge of Gen. Paine, of the Mayflower, to Lieut. Henn to go down east sad wait for a breaaB to sail a race in Boston%ay was an afterburner inspiration, and that Hans, over the wine, aeeegted it,i Mahnaat morning Geo. Paine east him a memorandum of the agreement to H showed it to Webb, and the latter vetoed it, whereupon Lieut Henn sent word to Fkinsj withdrawing his sw liptennr. Among those hset informed ltienot bettered ttie* the-Galatea will sail any more laoss in this country after the contest far the America's cup is ended. The name of the Galatea dose not appear among the entries for the Ksaspgrii race. Those who have entered up to the present are the schooner Miranda,, the sloops Mayflower and Thetis and the cutters Stranger, Clara and Bedouin. Mr. Bill, the owner of the Miranda, says that he knows of four schooners that will enter, and it is learned that the Monteuk is sure to go. She is to betaken on the dock Monday to he prepared, ahd she win probably he the only New York schooner, except the Miranda; but the Fortune and Gitann may be counted on as certain from Boston. The date of the race has, it is said, been fixed for Sept 10. FORTtAK*. M*. S**. If-The following circular by the Democratic state committee. It is dated at the headquarters at Waterville: , tDXAR But: We have Mire us the entire canvass of the state, and we confidently assert to you that the recapitulation shows beyond a doubt that the state can be wrested from the grip of the Blaine, Manly and Bodwell gang, provided that every man like yourself will do his duty from now until the pofc close on Monday next. The Republican army of imported speakers, who know of tbe wants of the people of Maine, less, have tried and will try to divert the attention of the voter* with the isme at jvotecUve tariff, which means: Take oTthe rich, and the rich will take care Of the poor. Thus far their delusions and suplildriM have failed to arrest the intentions at the people from doing their duty at the polls. From the510 cities ami towns in the state comes to us the cheering evidence that the people are aroused atad «re ready for action. No such opportunity has presented itself to the voters of Maine since it became a state. Elect men to the senate and legislature who favor the repeal uf the law of imprisonment for debt; the tindtee process, sad th«e who will vote for the passage of the ten hour law lor the working people. The chief agent in bringing about the reconciliation was Gee. B. McLellan, and it was he who arranged several conferences between Victoria and her father's lawyers. The last took place the Sunday before her disappearance, and was held in this city. It was then that she was finally forgiven and agreed to return to her home. At the same time all tha arrangements for her doing so, a9 well as the manner in which it should be done, were settled. The following resolution was then unanimously adopted amid the greatest enthuitem:Meanwhile the Arm had their injunction and shrewdly calculated to flood the market with five cent packages put up two under one stamp, and, by their patent, they expected to prevent any other manufacturer doing the same thing. This created a considerable amount of commotion in the trade, but at last some of the other manufacturers made the discovery that there was nothing in the law to prevent" their selling one and a half ounce package of smoking tobacco for five cents without any stamp at all, provided they retailed it from a wooden box duly stamped and branded. This plan is now being generally adopted, and the revenue officers say, under the terms of the law, it seems to be fully authorized. ' Resolved, That this meeting indorses tha telegram seat Aug. 30 by Consul General Perch to Secretary Bayard, as slating oorrectly tha facta of the Sedgwick scandal. McLellan is a friend of the Morosini family, and he was well known by Victoria before she married Schilling. He had always been more or less attentive to her, and by some it is said he was very much in love with her, but had never declared it He was the first to discover the unhappinees of Mre. Schilling, and that she was unhappy in two weeks after she married Schilling is an undoubted fact Please send the proceeds of the collection to the chancellor of the arch-dioccee. Very faithfully yours in Christ, Speeches were made by prominent American residents and transients, handling tha United States state department without gloves for protecting Sedgwick; also that it served Americans right for trying to shield Sedgwick, and that Sedgwick or his friends had taken advantage of this leniency in trying to shield him at the expanse of Minister Jackaon. The greatest indignation is expressed everywhere, and should Sedgwick return to Mexico City to attend Gen. Dins'* ball, as he said he would, he will probably hear from the American colony. Jakes, Cardinal Gibbous, Archbishop of Baltimore BACK FROM GREENLAND, He met Victoria in this city frequently after she settled here with her husband, and it was not long before she poured into his sympathetic ear the tale of ha- unhappiness. He was well aware that her father, who' had forgotten his anger at her elopement, was anxious that she should return to his home, and The Narrow Escape oi a Fisherman IM Gloucutbb, Mass., Sept 11. — The schooner Herbert M.

His passage was much hardened by extensive and dangerons fields of ice. The weather was stormy. Owing to the coast being icebound halibut were scarce.

Randolph, of Rhinebeck, in a communicati u to a local newspaper, says: 'Tor the laJt week tie New York and country papers have been ciiculating the story of the 'Hudson River serpent' that was seen in the river at various points between Catakill and Poughkeepsie. I was one of the eye witnesses of that serpent. While the steamer Daniel Draw was burning a gentleman and myself were sitting on the hank of the river at Rhinecliff. We saw a long black- log floating down with the ebb tide. The log Wan apparently about thirty feet long, with a number of knot* yrojecting that gave it the appearance of a row of An*. A root about live or six feet long at the end of the log would occasionally roll op with the •well, and might to a person of stratf Pagination look like a head or neck.

New Havbh, Sept. 11.— Ella Matthews, an unmarried woman, residing In Fair Haven, gave birth to a child about five dayn ago.

It was claimed that the treaty between the | United States and Denmark forbade Americans from such traffic. The Rogers went ■ further north, to Holsenburg, and mot exactly similai treatment there. Capt Vale : was warned that his vessel would be seised if found there again. Halibut was scarce in that vicinity also. The highest point reached was Cape Amelia, in latitude 68. There was no halibut there, and, being in oonstaqt fear at seisure, Capt Vele decided to ooue home. He left Aug. IT.

Mrs. Bailey went out in the morning to milk the cows, and pat the child in a box near by. In a short time she was attracted by its screams, and running to it found it bitten by a snake in nine plaoes, one of which was on the lip. It is supposed the ohild picked the' snake up as it crawled to the box. The snake, which was a ground rattler, was. killed, and the ohild died in a few hoars. - - At Kansaa City — Kansas City, 6; St Louis, 5. .. At - THE LABOR ADVOCATE A Fatal Practical Joke. Kapi Forty/Three Mamas Constantly Be- Clevelajcd, Sept 11.—A practical Jolt® that is likely to prove fatal was perpetrated at the Cleveland theatre Wednesday night Whilethe play "Lights o' London*" was in progress a young woman handed a note to the manager of the theatre with the request that it be read from the stage. Hie billet contained the intelligence that the mother of one of the audience, Nathan Stark, was lying at the point Crf death and that the young man would have to make haste if he would see his parent alive. Stark immediately started for home and on arriving there found his mother alive and well. The reaction of the shock was so great that the young man was prostrated and is now in a precarious condition. It is supposed that the perpetrator of the trick was prompted by. jealousy. Detectives are at work upon the cane. That a divorce from Schilling will be obtained is unquestioned. That the husband will receive $15,000 or any other sum is only known by the persons immediately concerned. Young Mc Lallan has gone on an extended vacation to Europe, and will probably visit Paris and the east before he sees New York again. In talking to a friend before she reached home Victoria said: "Two weeks after I was married I regretted it When we went to Europe I was so homesick I had to come back. My life has been miserable ever sincet" It was on the afternoon of Sept 0, 1886. that Victoria, knowing that Ernest Schilling, her father's discharged coachman, was to visit the premises, rah to meet him on the lawn. Ernest bad been discharged because a (trowing intimacy was discovered between Victoria and himself. Ha returned that afternoon to collect some money that one of the employes owed him. Looking from a window, Mrs. Moroeinl saw her daughter kiss the ex-coachman. When Victoria returned home she was soundly upbraided for her conduct "I never want to see you again," Mrs. Morosini told her daughter. Victoria took her at her word. Quickly she ran upstairs, caught up her jewels and $25, and dressed only in a light wrapper she ran down the road and met her lover. "How far we walked," she afterward said, in nairatUg her experience, "I do not know. It was aver so far. At last we arrived at a small station and took the train for New York. Arriving there we were married. Then for a week we were hid in a room at the home of Ernest's relatives. How I suffered God only knows. From that moment to this I wished I was home again. 1. IhM It.

The latter is obnoxious to the-Prohibitionists also, and his defeat is not-impossible, though the Knights are much lea numerous in Penobscot than in Cumberland. It is beyond doubt true that other senators who would have been for re-elections and representatives who would have asked to be to their old places or promoted to the senate abandoned hope when they learned of the intention of the workingmen, and found their private businenfoonerou* that they could not think of going to Augusta next winter. The senators from Waldo and Somerset, Mr. Bears, of Oxford, and others come under this head, and so do a number of representatives. This is a substantial victory for the workingmen as well as for the paper, which has kept standing for months the names of those whom it calls the men "who betrayed their trutt, and either through ignorance, lack of moral courage or. for money voted against the wives, mothers, sisters and children of their constituents to please a few grasping' mill owners." 4 A Conspiracy to Xsrdcr Confessed at Philadelphia.
