SULEIMAN PASHA.

reported from Constantinople yester

believed to lie engaged in a strong ef

Tlie Daily Telegraph's Hliumla
special, dated Sunday night, says no
official news lias been received there
since Thursday. Important move
ments are imminent, if not already
progressing. Great anxiety prevails.
Many rumors are circulating, among
them that heavy fighting occurred
on Friday in the direction of Tirnova,
upon which place the Russians were
ultimately driven hack, losing over
three thousand men, and tliat the
Turks are now bombarding Tirnova.
All available surgeons and dressers
arc moving hence to Osman Baza.
[Note.—The rumors at Sliumla
and correspondent impressions seem
to confirm the report that Suleiman
Paslia is endeavoring lo’elteet an im
portant diversion by cutting tlie Rus
sinn communications along the north
ern slope of the Balkans. The move
ment may lie wholly imaginary, but
is very favorable, mu) tlie fact tliat tlie
Russians say uolhing about it must
not be taken as contradictory. They
would be likely to reserve the report
until tlie movement was completed.]

THE GREAT DISPUTE FAR FROM SET
TLED.
Paris, Deeemlier 4.—Tlie corres
pondent of tlie Times telegraphs lie
has private information contradicting
French newspaper accounts of tlie
Interview between M. Dufuure und
President'MacMalion. He says
few days since Senator Dticlei pro
sented "to tlie Marshal an informal
note asking liini,*as satisfaction to
tlie Left, to promise to propose a re
vision of tlie Constitution in a Re
publican sense. The Marshal sent
for M. Dufuure to Inform him tliat
Ills condition was unacceptable. M
Dufaure replied that the Left, desired
a guarantee against a second dissolu
tion, and tliat nothing could lie easier
than to find a guarantee which would
not compromise the President's dig
nity. The correspondent concludes
the foregoing is all tliat occurred,
consequently there is no ground for
thinking tliat tlie temper of tlie Ely-
see is changed. It is significant that
the deputation of Paris merchants
and manufacturers who went to the
Elysee Monday, desiring to present
an address to President MucMuhoii in
person, were received by mi uide-de
camp, who somewhat peremptorily
referred them to tlie Ministerol'Com
merce. The deputation retired
telling tlie aide-de-camp to inform
tlie President they were the vanguard
of an imposing demonstration which
numbered a thousand to-day, and
would number one hundred thousand
to-morrow und a million next day.
DOES IT SIGNIFY ANYTHING'.’

THE IllTDGET COMMITTEE TO RE
PORT THURSDAY.
Special to Enquirer-Sun.]
Versailles, Deeemlier 4.—In the
Deputies to-day Jules Ferry, in lie-
half of tlie Budget Committee, de
clared tliat tlie committee considered
that m detach the clauses relative to
direct taxes from tlie remainder of
the Budget would involve questions
of policy mid principle even of par
liamentary government. The main
question, '“Shall depositaries of lm-
tionai will disarm in tlie face of a
policy which refuses to disarm an ex
isting conflict'.”' was due lo the fatal
advice of counsellors, misleading tlie
executive power. The majority would
only grant the budget to a parlia
mentary ministry, if estimates were
not passed placing the responsibility
upon those who persisted in prolong
ing the crisis despite the cry of public
misery which was licurd. I ’litil
further notice the committee would
not report i n favor of direct taxes.
Iturniguon and ltouhcr demanded
tliat tills declaration lie treated as a
report so that the House could pro
ceed to discuss it otherwise and the
voice of minority could beatified.
t iullllietta opposed tlie demand, and
said oil Thursday all the committees
and reports would lie brought in,
when the Chamber was ready to con
sider the Budget, hut would only hand
over resources of the country, when
those in power bowed before popular
will. It would be seen whether iu
France the nation governed or a man
commanded.
Rouher moved tliat tlie Budget be
considered on Thursday next.
Grevy sahl the minority would
have an opportunity for debate on

Ac., among which were $500 worth of
stock of the Long liranch Banking
Company, nnd $12,000 worth of
special mortgages. The matter
was referred to Sergt. Kealy, and he
put Detectives Lyon and Dorsey on
the cuse. On Wednesday Officer
Mulrooney. of the Western Steam-
bout Squad, brought to the Central
Office a morocco bag which a canal
boatman had given him. The boat
man told Mulrooney that lie found
tlie bug floating in the Hudson river
opposite Pier No. 23 on Tuesday. He
said tliat several of his companions
were present when lie found it, and
they persisted in having him open it.
When it was opened, lie said it “had
bonds and sucli tilings in it,” and,
despite all his efforts, Ids com pan ions
“made a grab” for them and he was
unable to save hut a few. These were
some blank checks and some letters.
When the detectives questioned the
expressman who hud been sent after,
the trunks by Mr. Bradley, he told
various stories about the matter. At
one time he said tliat tlie trunk was
stolen from him at the depot; and at
another time lie said that lie was
driving along West street with the
trunks, and a passing truckman sang
out to him that a thief luul just stolen
a trunk from ids wagon, und, turning
around, lie found tills to lie tlie case.
He then went to Capt. Eakins, of the
Fifth Precinct, and complained of
the robbery. From the man’s descrip
tion of tlii* trunk, the police of the
Fifth Precinct arrested two waiters
who were seen bundling a similar
trunk; hut it turned out tliat their
arrest was a mistake, and they were
discharged. Capt. Eakins does not,
however,suspect theexpressmunofthe
robbery, and attributes his contradic
tory stories to nervousness at Ids loss
of flic trunk. It lias been ascertained
that the man did get tlie trunk at the
‘depot, and that It was stolen after it
had left there. Strong suspicions are
entertained against the boatmen, and
they are kept underdose surveilance
and Detectives Lyon and Dorsey be
lieve tliat at last they have secured
clues which will enable them to cap
ture the guilty parties, and recover
most of the stolen property. When
the fact of the moroeo bug ivas re
ported to Mrs. Pemberton, she ex
pressed her opinion that it was a very
singular, if not a suspicious circum
stance that tin* hag when found by
ttic boatman showed papers that had
been placed jn another part of the
missing trunk altogether. Mrs.
Pemberton and her daughter made u
call upon Inspector Dilks yesterday
evening about the matter, nnd were
informed tliat arrests would probably
he made to-day or to-morrow.

Erom the London Times.]
Rome, Nov. 3.—Among the Italian
Cardinals away from Home one may
see the same divergence of views, tlie
same contrast of oluimetors, the same
inconsistency between private convic
tion and public profession noted
among the resident or home Cardi
nals. Cardinal Guidi, a native of Bo-
logiiu, a man of obscure birth, 72
years of age, Bishop of Alliano, a
good scholar of divinity, is one of tlie
very few Italians who dared illicitly
to impugn tlie dogma of infallihility
nt the tKcumriiical Council, and has
■been talsioed at Ihe Vatican ever since
tliat time. Iiis brave conduct lost
him the Pope’s luvor anti the Arch

be great, but bis vote would never be

How to nit a Horae,
Tt is a recognized principal that “a
horseman grows from Ids seat.” By
neat is meant the manner in which
the weight of his person receives the
impulse of the horse’s movement. At
every step tlie impulse changes, and
at every change, unless the seat is a
good one, tlie weight is jostled and
the smooth action of the horse Is dis
turbed. I f it Is good, it is so adjusted
as to receive tin* changing action with
a yielding resistance tntheshock,uud
to give no undue check to the motive
power. While there must lie a cer
tain ease of displacement there must
also bean ability to hold firm to the
saddle, and, after leaving it, to return
smoothly to it. The real points of at
tachment should he only from the
knee upward,—by the inner flat of
tIk* thigh. Ease of motion depends
oil the freedom cpf the lower leg nnd
the ready flexibilty of the loins. From
the knee to the hip we need firm
ness ami solidity; from the knee
downward and from the hip upward,
the freest pliancy. No movement of
the horse should* he so sudden, and no
lift in leaping should he so great, that
the thighs may not securely retain
their position, and thehodyand calves
their flexibility. Rigidity of the
body implies the transmission of force
to tlie long end of the lever, which is
the father of the fall, while rigidity
of the lower legs carries an uncontroll
ed impulse to thcothcr end of the lever
and disturbs the horse. The absolute
point of contact—the ]m>Iht which
never yields its grip - Nat tlie knees
only. In tlie leap, ami to a J.^s de
gree in tlie gallop, these arc Ihe con
stant points of communication, and
however much the seat may lie raised
in a strong leap these regulate its sale
und correct return.
Pliancy of the hips and freedom of
the culves are the first objects to he
sought, and ifthose which it is the
mostdiflicult lbr tin* mature beginner
to acquire. Much help may he gain
ed from a sort of eulisthcnic exercise
of the body, swaying from front to j tugc
rear and from side to side, and mov- one Reign
lie press, addressing the Rope in its
name, he declared that its wri
ters would “light against civiliza
tion and progress to the last drop of
their blood, to say nothing of their
ink.” Canossa, Bishop of Verona,
and sprung from the noblest family
of that city, is also an enraged bigot,
hut with faculties out of proportion to
liis tierce instincts. lit* also has
some chance of the supreme rank iu
the church, should his party have
the upper hand in the conclave.
Antonnici, a native of Subiaco, 71)
years old, for very many years Bish
op of Ancona, a learned’ man, of
gentle, peaceful disposition, is one
the few bishops in the former Papal
provinces who never gave trnuhh
the Italian Government. Saeconi of
Montalto, now in his flfltii year,
Bishop of Palestrina, cannot boast
much erudition, either secular or
clesiastical. Politically Iu* is a poor-
spirited man, not overladen with
good sense, and apt to commit him
self ami show want of consistency.
He went out as a Nuncio to Paris,
and cairn* back with no increased
reputation for cleverness. He is very
earnest in promoting his relations
and favoring his hangers-on. (’arufu
di Trnetto, Archbishop of Bcncvcnto,
a noble Papal family of Naples,
where he was born in *1805, is a man
of mild disposition, and submissive
to the authorities of the Italian king
dom. He lives in retirement in His
obscure diocese, appearing in Rome
os little as he can contrive, though he
is a near relative of several of tlie
highest families, and especially of
Prince Orsini.
Glancing now at some of the resi
dent Cardinals, whose names were
omitted iu a former letter, we And
Burtolini, formerly Apostolical Pro
tonotary, a Roman by birth, (14 year
of age, of unknown parentage, hut
enriched by the inheritance of an
anonymous father To he qualified
for ordination lie requied a special
Poutilical dispensation, on account of
the defect in Ids parentage. His
opinions are moderate, hut he was
scarcely true to them when lie wrote
his historical essay on Pope Xuchu-
l’iali, a Pontiff will), for the sake of
peace and tlie good of tlie Church,
gave up the temporal possessions of
tlie Church to Aslolfo, King of the
Lombards, to reserve to himself tlie
right of free election of the Bishops.
Bnrtoliui endeavored in his wofk to
falsify history, and did it to win the
Pope’s good will and obtain from him
some ecclesiastical preferment to
gratify an ambition wnieli with him
amounts to a monomania. Cardinal
Giannelli, of Tend, 70 years old, was
Nuncio at the late Bourbon Court of
the Two Sicilies; has a thorough
knowledge of the world, is temper
ate, cool-headed, dexterous, and apt to
laugh at other people’s bn man’s pas
sions and weaknesses. In a conclave
he would be found among the Moil-
crates. The same would hardly be
the ease with D’Avanzo, Bishop of
Cal vi and Tcano, born at A valla in
1811, who owes bis rise to (be zeal be
displayed at the Vatican Council as
an out-and-out champion of the dog
ma of infallibility.
Ferrieri of Fa no, born in 1x10, is a
man of less than middling capacity,
though nut without knowledge of
ecclesiastical atlairs. He is known as
a miser, lias no opinion of Ids own,
will trv to ascertain which way the
wind blows, and sail with it. *Cate-
rini, a native of < m.ano, is now in Ids
8ftd year, hut in possession of all his
faculties, and lias all the vitality and
fierceness which distinguished the
late Cardinal de Angclis, who died
last year a twelve-month older than
tin 1 Pope. Culcriui is one of the most
implacable Iocs to all conciliation or
compromise. Accustomed to rule,
some of those aged prelates have ac
quired a habit of absolute command
which makes them almost respecta
ble. They know what they want,
and have little hope that the fullill-
ment of their wishes may come to
pass in their- lifetime; hence their in
tolerance, misanthropy, and irasci
bility.
The Cardinals now living number
00; the total of the Sacred College
when complete is 70. Out of the 00
existing I have given the names of
47, all Italians. The foreign Cardi
nals are 20, bearing a proportion to
tin* natives of this country almost un
precedented in tlie annals of the
Church since the time of the last for
eign Pope, Adrian VI. of Ctroeht.
Of these foreigners, then* are eight
Frenchmen, four Spaniards, one Por-
111, two Austrians,
one Pole, two English.

This part of the programme was car
ried out to the letter, but there was
m unlocked for denouement to the
happy event of the marriage, for
whiclt the husband was entirely un
prepared and which led shortly after
ward to a separation and a suit for
divorce.
A few hours after the marriage
above recorded the bride und groom
retired to their apartments, a suite of
rooms at the Southern, known as the
bridal chamber, and, after seating
themselves for a chat, the husband,
was suddenly start lei l from Ids pro
priety by the voice of a child in tlie
next room. He inquired what It all
meant, when his new-made wife pro
duced an infant, and falling at her
husband's feet begged her husband’s
forgiveness. Imagine his mortifica
tion and surprise when informed thut
the child was flesh of her flesh and
hone of her hone, whom he lmd here
tofore deemed as chaste as Diana, and
pure as the snow, and to learn from
her own lips the story of her shume
aud the damnable deception she hud
practiced upon him by making him
at once a husband and a father.
Hence the divorce granted Gordon

Florida Hoy Kill* n Panther.
The following true story of tlie
killing of a huge panther iu Alachua
county, we And in the Gainesville
Timm: “I know you do not often
have the opportunity of publishing a
true panther story, so I send you one
to-day that is certainly true. On Sat
urday evening, November 8d, little
George Boston, son of Win. K. Bos
ton, went out in the Santa Feswanm,
near his father’s, to see after his pa’s
hogs, and came suddenly upon a large
panther making a meal on some nice
pork, which lie had taken at Mr.
Boston’s expense. Little George, 1 ic
ing an expert with Ids gun, deter
mined to make an attack upon said
panther and spoil his quiet dinner.
He therefore crept up as near as he
wanted, and fired upon him, striking
him with seven or eight buckshot,
one entering tin 1 right eyeball. Mr.
Panther, not liking to he disturbed iu
so unceremonious a manner, under
took to resent the insult, but Ids eye
being shot out, he could not see iiis
way very well, and got caught in a
grape vine just before lie got near
nough to George to do him any
injury. Just as the vine jerked
the old chap hack and exposed his
breast to view, George fired again, but
this time it, was small shot. The
panther then turned and took a tree.
George had three buckshot and a bul
let left, so he loaded again as soon as
possible, and that lire brought him to
the ground, dead. All this time the
mate to this one was only a short dis
tance iu the swamp from George,
making a hideous noise by hallowing
and growling fearfully. George said
if he had had any more buckshot he
would have gone for him in earnest,
hut not having any he stopped and
took oil* tlie skin of the one lie had
already captured. I saw one off the
panther’s forepaws taken of at the
ankle, and am confident it would
have weighed two or two and a half
pounds. I think Ids track while run
ning would have covered a space the
size of a dinner plate. Said panther
measured eight anil a half feet long.
His skin Is now to lie seen at Win. K.
Boston’s. This is the story of the
nanther without exaggeration, and I
hope you will give it a pluee in your
paper, as I think it a very brave deed
of little George, and ought to he
known.”
