James Riuwell Lowell's .Letter. Boston, Mass., Oct, 26. Mr. James Russell Lowell haswritten a letter to the Advertiser repudiating in general terms the interview published in last Sunday's New York World, signed I by Julian Hawthorne Mr. Lowell. writes. 'I beg for space enough in your columns to say that no body could ever have been more surprised and grieved than I by Mr. Hawthorne's breach of confidence in his report of my conversation with him, upon which you comment this morning, on such terms certainly would be come impossible. It never entered my head that the son of my old and honored friend was interviewing me. If it had, he would have found me dumb. The reporter has made me say precisely the reverse of what I really must have said and of what is the truth. As an example of Mr. Hawthorne's prevailing Inaccuracy in matters of less h"iteret to me than those of which I have been speaking, I may instance thai what he made me say of Mr. George More. The fact is, that I have never read a line of this gentleman's writing. The old pro verb, "save me from my friends" ' must be stretched, it would 'seem to take m their children also. i . FANCY.

The Adams ex press car, attached to passenger train No. 3 on the St. Louis and San Fran cisco railroad, which left this city at 8:25 last night, was robbed of over $50,000 in cash, between here and Pa cific, Mo. From meagre reports, it seems that before the train left this city a man giving the name of . Cum-, mings presented letters to the express messenger, Mr, Frothingham, pur porting to be signed by the officers of the company, stating that Qunimings was about to take a "run" on the line and asking Frothingham to give him the points. jWhen near Meremac the stranger' overpowered the mes senger, gagged him Sand bound him to the safe, -after which he coolly rifled the car.

Prince Melissano, a member of one of the best Neapolitan families, com mitted suicide m Paris on Tuesday af-teriioon on returning from his club. where he bad seen his name posted up as a defaulter. Prince. Melissano had lost at the same club more than 20,000 within two or three years. and had often applied for tune and made payment at the date promised. .His creditor on tins, as on previous occa sions, had placed tbe debt.en carte.as it is called that is to say, had de posited in the bands of the proper offi cial a card stating that the Prince was to pay' 60. The time having expired without the amount leing paid, the official published the fact. When the Prince entered the club he noticed his name stuck up against the mirror. lie went close to the glass. looked at it. and then without saying a word took up his hat and went home. There he placed a loaded revolver against his right temple, discharged it and fell dead. More than six years ago the Prince had spent his last farthing, yet since then had lived . in Paris like a man worth 15,000 or 20,p00 a year, with out doing anything rendering him amenable to the tribunals. He had made the business of getting into debt a science, and most ot his creditors allowed their claims to increase in or der not to have to confess that the money was sunk and that so charm ing a nobleman was hopelessly insol vent. To such a length did he carry the art that he created fresh resources, COTTON. New Orieaas-t-Salea, S.OOO steady a 8i. Mobile Sale. 100 - quiet aife Cliarlerton Sales 9,500 Bieadr at 8..
