ENGLISH INFLUENCE DISCOUNTED
AT CONSTANTINOPLE.

London, December 18.—Tlie Lon

Lord Derby, Foreign Minister, and
the Marquis of Salisbury, Secretary
of State for India, are opposed to the
pet scheme of Lord BeaconsAeld, the
Premier, to summon Parliament
much earlier than usual. It is ex
ceedingly probable that Parliament
will meet on the 17th of January, to
which time it was prorogued, but the
means by which Lord Beaconsfteid
hopes to' maintain Britisli interests
under tlie Treaty of Paris will require
further deliberations.

London, Dec. 18—Witli reference
to internul questions which are now
dividing Prince Bismarck from Em
peror William and some of tlie minis
ters, the Standard's Berlin dispatch
says:
Prince Blsmark seems to have over
come the obstacles which have hith

thut the latter will be replaced by Dr,
Frledenthal, Minister of Agriculture;
thut Herr Benningseii, President of
tlie Chamber of Deputies, will be
come Home Minister, and the other
portfolios be distributed, when Bis
marck returns to Berlin. Such a so
lution would be a success for the Na
tional Liberal Party, who up to tlie
middle of last week despaired of so
hopeful an issue. Apparently the

It glievs us to think that our little
friend Alice, “Sweet Alice, Ben Bolt,"
has got Into trouble agnin. When
we saw her through that last afthir
With Titus (tlie man who not only
represents tlie one ease of constipa
tion mentioned in Scripture, hut
who made, In her case, a union of
patronymics disagreeable both to
modern sensibilities and ears)—when
we stood by her in that matter, we
did not think that, wo should ever be
ailed on to defend her again. Our
warnings were so urgent! We told
her to beware of every fellow who ex
hibited tlie least inclination “to feel
life oats,” for men, like horses, are to
be avoided in such conditions! And
she promised! She did pro
mise indeed; anil to mink of
her jumping from an austere Van
Austin to tlie oriental arms of old
L’Aurlent himself! It Is too bad,
too bad. Truly, we can say, we
never nursed a gay gazelle, etc.
But facts are facts. There’s no
way to get around this thing. There
isn’t a colt in tlie Prentice Club (to
say nothing about the three-year-
olds!) cun explain tills heartless' de
sertion. Here were all of us ready to
minister to tlie wants of this lone
lady. She is a home girl. She was
born here. She grew up here. We
knew her before she took the tucks
out of her dresses. We stood ready,
each of us, to see thut she did not need
a protector home o’ nights. Nay, we
would have sent a young Prentician
along witli her to do the tiling hand
somely, and, when lie gave out, we
might have secured a relay from Mr.
Haideman’s Young Men’s Christian
Association Base Ball Club to see fair
ilay. But no; like Cousin Sally DiJ-
ard, she must make “a cussed fool
of herself,” to tlie neglect, to say noth
ing about the mortification, of tlie
whole ship’s crew of us! It is mighty
depressing. In fact, it is powerful
discouraging to live stock all over
Kentucky.
And yet, softly! Is it quite sure,
dear Alice, that we may not lie mis
taken in tlie matter? This jxxn*
Scotch girl tells a terribly plain tale.
She says, with proper modesty and
brevity, that hIic is the daughter of a
poor clergyman in Glasgow; that
she marrie'd Henry Klsling (so-called
The Orient, and very “oriental” he
seems to be), when he and she were*
silly young singers; tliut she taught
him the rudiments of his art, as Is
natural she should, because tlie girl
is always quicker and brighter than
the boy; that lie was a good husband
until he met—hegud!—until he met
you, sweet Alice! Then tlie simper
ing lad was converted into a rude
man of the world. We put it mildly,
Alice! She says that you used to say,
“merely in jest,” that he deserved a
more exalted fate. She says that lie
used “to come in late," under pretext
of “making friends of the reporters,
and getting them to write him up."
Ah, poor girl! The lies that husbands
tell to fool their wives do make us
sick—why deny it! They ure enough
to make a dog, a yard-dog, sick!
They didn’t make her sick. More’s
the pity they did not. They only
just fooled her. Finally, lie made it
case, and got her buck to tier father's
house in Scotland. Poor girl! The
creature actually crossed the water,
spent six weeks within six horn's of
her, and never let her khow. (Tliut
was you, Alice, and there is where
your share of the account will finally
come in). So, ut lost, she saved
money enough to come hack over the
Atlantic and look ufter her husband.
She came. She was shown, to ids
room in the hotel. She heard life
foot-step. She ran to tlie bead of the
stairs. ■ She was in time to hear you
say—you, Alice, you of all other
women—“don’t be long, dear.” * * *
He wus enraged. lie abused her,
this newly-arrived wife—come ull tlie
way across the salt, salt sea—
and tlie pixir, infatuated,
enraged young fool — crazy
with love for you, Alice—lie “threw
her violently against the wall!" She
knew thut Ids plighted trotli was
gone. Like a sensible Seotcii girl,
taking Jim Beck’s advice, she resolv
ed to let him go, lias sued for a di
vorce, and is now, n cowering little
body in New York, waiting tor the
action of tlie courts.
It is most matter of fact, most mel
ancholy.

Kentucky is ashamed of you. Good

Washington, December 14.—To
day witnessed another exciting scene
in tlie secret session of tlie Senate,
interest in regular legislative session
has ceased, and tlie only acts thats
lately are worth recording happen
when tlie doors of tlie Senate are
closed and barred against the public.
Tlie proceedings to-day were more
exeitingand threatening than any that
have occurred for years. Tlie parties
to tlie quarrel were Senators Crink
ling mill Gordon, hut tlie whole Sen
ate was wrought up to a high pitch
of excitement. Tlie discussion was
on the nomination of Wade to be a
ollector of internal revenue in Geor
gia. Senator Gordon had made a
speech against the confirmation of
Wade, and Senator Thurman took
tlie Hour to protest against tlie course
that was being pursued with nomina
tions for office. He said that if a dis
cussion of two or three hours In
length was to be had on tlie political
relations of t lie North and South, the
two parties, the President’ and every
thing else having any bearing on the
subject, there was little hope of ac
complishing anything In tlie Inst
hours before tin* long recess. At this
point Senator Gordon rose to s|>eak
again, and there came from tlie Re
publican side cries of “Go on, go on
with tho calendar! Let’s have tlie
vote!” Tlie words “Go on” came
from several Senators, among them
Hamlin, Mitchell and Uoiikling.
ordering the chair.
Tliis greatly incensed tho quick
tempered Georgiu Senator, and lie
cried out ill an impatient tone: “The
Senator from New York Is issuing
his orders. He is ordering the
chair.” Mr. Uoiikling, considerably
excited, demanded tliut the Senator
from Georgia should repent his words.
Mr. Gordon then repeated that the
Senator from New York was .issuing
his orders.
Colliding then, in a fever of excite
ment, said, in a loud voice: “Tf the
Senator from Georgia says thut 1
issue orders to tlie chair be says what
is not true,” and, with increased an
ger, lie continued, “anfl lest the Sen
ator may misunderstand me I will
repent that if he says 1 issue orders to
the chair lie says wliut is not true."
Gordon at once sprang to his feet,
and, trembling with rage, said: “Thin
question, sir, can be settled outstde
this chamber. "
At tills point Conklihg was quite
us excited ns Ills antagonist, und tak
ing u step toward Gordon, who was
on the opposite side of the chamber,
he replied in a fierce voice: “I am
willing to settle it here and now; and
once more I will say to the Senator
from Georgia that, if lie says I gave
orders to tne chair, he nays what is
not true,” and live words seemed to
blister his mouth
Botli Senators thereupon took their
seats, and the business proceeded for
some time without any reference to
the unhappy difficulty. Shortly be
fore adjournment, " however, Mr.
Thurman referred to tlie controversy
und said it was unfortunate and
should be tlie subject of regret. He
said lie did not think the Senator
from New York intended to be dis
courteous to either tlie Chair or the
Senator from Georgia. He thought
Mr. Conkling merely desired to go on
with the business, tne same as Sena-
ttirH frequently call for a vote. It is
very often done, and he said other
Senators had ulso called out to “Go
on," meaning to go on with the
culeudar.- Mr. Tliurmun Imped thut
tlie occurrence would not in* referred
to outside of tlie chamber. Sir.
Hanllin also spoke in tho Interest of
forgiveness between tlie two Sena
tors. He said the trouble arose from
a misunderstanding oil the purl of
tile Georgia Senator. Mr. Hamlin
said lie Imd himself culled for a vote
in the words quoted, but no disre
spect was intended, and lie did noth
ing more liiun wus customary or than
lie hud a right to do. Neither of tlie
bellgcrunt Senators made any re-
murk, und both kept their Heats.
The Senators were urged to keep tlie
disagreeable circumstance to them
selves. but'there is, nevertheless, a
good deal of tulk about it to-night.
It is generally believed among Sena
tors tliut no further notice will lie
taken of the occurrence on tlie part of
Senator Gordon.
B1.AIN1C VH. HILL.
Tlie debate on the nomination in
question wus not of a very amicable
character, viewed in any light. Sen
ators Blaine and Hill resumed their
old buttles, begun in the House about
two yours ago, and some hot words
passed between them. _ Wade, tlie
nominee is a native Georgian and a
Republlean. He was objected to by
Gordon and Hill on tin* ground tliut
lie was not of good character ; thut lie
wus meddlesome and a breeder of
strife. They referred to a letter Wuile
hud written to the North, charging
that a man had been taken out uud
hung by a mob, and they said it was
untrue, and that a mail wlm would
breed strife ought not to hold office.
Senator Patterson culled tin* atten
tion of the Georgia Senator lo the
occurrence in Augustu, Georgia, two
or three years ago, when a white man
had pushed a negro out of a street
cur, and tlie negro hud drawn a knife
and killed him,the negroe subsequent
ly having been taken from tlie officers
by a white mob und hung. The
Georgia Senators admitted the facts,
but they said tliut their State was as
peaceable and law-abiding as tlie State
of Maine. This brought Mr. Iilaine
to ids fees. He said lie thought the
Senator was in error. There iiad
never been a homicide in Maine that
was not followed by the punishment
Senator to steudy ids nerves; that
this talk of Southern outrages would
last as long as tlie outrages last, and
•c would always lie a feeling be
tween the Nortli and South until life
and property were as secure in tlie
South as they are ill the North and
tho Senator from (leorgin would
irobably hear a good deal of talk on
lie floor of the Senate.
Mr. Gordon said lit* thought that
tho Senators from the sovereign State
of Georgia ought to have something
to say In theeliojee of the officers in
that"State. Mr. Blaine reminded
him that he did not bold these views
two days ago, when lie was trying to
secure the confirmation of two New
York nominees against the opposi
tion of tlie New York Senator. Gor
don said: “It is different where
both Senators united in theirelioice."
Blaine inquired, if-thnt was to lie tlie
policy of tlie Georgia Senator, if he
would vote against a nominee in it
State where both Senators were op
posed to the nominee, but in favor of
a nominee where only one Senator
was opposed to him? Tliis raised
a great laugh on the Republican side,
but the Georgia Senator made no re-
Jiorrill, Edmunds, Hour and other
Republicans spoke in favor of Wade,
and he was finally confirmed by a
strict party vote—no Democrats vot
ing for him, no Republicans against
him.
discussing m’linn.
Tlie nomination of McLiuu, of
Florida Returning Board fume, for
Chief Justice of New Mexico, was
also the occasion of a sensation in the
Senate. Senator Conover tnude a
speech against the confirmation. He
said if McLlnn was a lawyer at all lie
had no ability, and was incompetent
and unfit for any judicial office. He
had been on both sides during tlie
war, and had betrayed both, and
while in Florida he had devoted him
self more to applejack than to law.
He said tlie nominee was a time
server uiul insincere, and would be
long to either party as Ills interests
dictated. He said during the Presi
dential count in Florida tlie Republi
cans had to keep tlie closest wateli on
McLlnn, and If they bail not done so
he would have sold out to the Demo
crats, "and we should,” suit! Mr.
Conover, “have thus lost our Presi
dent." Conover’s speech created a
good deal of amusement, and when
the vote was taken the nomination
was overwhelmingly rejected without
a division.

“Peuoestes,” said Leonatus, one
day, when the all-conquering army
of ^Alexander was on its march to

per of Bucephalus like n ship's an

Peucestas wus buried in deep

no pocket to put it in?” lie ventured
timidly.
“N»w!” roared the sou of Pella.
“Man behind the counter?” pursu
ed Peucestas.
“No”
“To cover life head?”
“Shades of my fathers, no!"
“Because it’s infirm?"
Leonatus only mude a despairing
gesture.
"Because it's a slope up?"
Leonatus made a motion to strike
him, and Peucestas said lie wouldn’t
guess any more,and be couldn’t see
why a home's crupper was like a

“Well, it is,” replied Leonutus, “be

“Which end?” presently Peucestas
inquired, with a show of Interest.
And then Leonatus looked u long
way off' and said tliut tlie peculiar

There was a good deal of sharp talk

he asserted that there was never yet
