WEDNESDAY, APRIL 18, 1882. ~
The coming marriage of Don Philippe
de Bourbon, second son of Count
d’Aquila, with Miss Mackey, daughter
of the American bonanza King, is re
garded abroad as simply and solely a
marriage de contenanee. She is a rich
plebeianess and he is a poo.' nobleman.
She wants his title, and ht wants her
money. So wasrs the modern world.
Schuyler Colfax has written a letter in
which he expresses regret that the unex
pected demands of too partial friends
that he should return to public service
cannot be complied with. Schuyler is
right. Ilis reappearance in Congress
would be the signal for a general revival
of the Credit Mobilier scandal, and that
would be very unpleasant to the ex-\ ice
President.
The revenues of the Post Office De
partment, in the quarter ending Decem
ber 31st, IS3I, were $*378,424 over the
expenditures, showing that the post
office is now practically seif supporting.
The time is a good one for reducing let
ter postage from three to two cents, and
for adopting Mr. Bingham s plan for
cheaper money orders, which would no
doubt soon increase the revenue of the
department.
It is a source of considerable satisfac
tion to contemplate the fact that while
labor strikes in Northern cotton mills
are so prevalent, our Southern manufac
tories are wholly exempt from any such
harrassments. This is another argument
in favor of the South as the cotton manu
facturing c.ntre of the country. Our
advantages over other sections are so
great that while they are forced to cut
down wages or shut down, we can go on
serenely aud advantageously to both em
ployer and employed.
Everywhere in the Mississippi delta
are to be found traces of the engineer
ing skill of the mysterious race vaguely
called “Mound Builders.” Artificial
elevations, miles of canals and long
stretches of low protecting levees are to
be seen in nearly every county bordering
on the river from Cairo to New Orleans.
The Memphis Acalanehe asks: “Would
not modern engineers do well to study
carefully the system which these ancient
people no doubt found to be an efficient
remedy for devastating floods?”
The National Lifeboat Institution of
England has nearly three hundred boats
under its management. At the recent
annual meeting it was reported that over
nine hundred pe-rsons were saved during
the past year from vessels shipwrecked.
Since the society was formed, fifty-eight
years ago, well nigh twenty-nine thou
sand lives have been rescued by its men
and appliances. Thirty three vessels
were saved by the boat crews in the past
twelve months. Special rewaids for ser
vices other than that of the crews are
given. Many lives are preserved by the
exertions of those not regularly connect
ed with the force of the society, services
which the organization recognizes by
medals and gifts of money.
The labor troubles continue, without
any immediate prospect of amendment.
The strikers are about equally divided
between workingmen who are striking
for advanced wages and workingmen
who are resisting reduced wages. This,
the Philadelphia Frees thinks, shows
that the pinch in the labor market is of
a character that affects labor and capital
alike. The cost of living is increased
without a corresponding increase in the
prices of manufactured fabrics, and that
it is eminently a proper time, in such a
state of affairs, for compromise and
ciliation on all sides. If the
could be arbitrated between employers
and employes, it does not thiDk the
strikes would continue a f rrtnight.
There are now five Chinese bills before
Congress, two in the Senate, which have
been referred to the Committee on For
eign Relations, and three in the House,
which went to the Committee on Educa*
tion and Labor. Senator Farley’s and
Representative Berry’s bills are identical
and fix the period of suspension of im
migration at sixteen years. Those of
Senator Miller and Representative Page
are similar, and make the limit ten years,
while Representative Willis, in another
bill, puts the time at fifteen years. As
Senator Miller’s bill was introduced one
day before the others, it will be first con
sidered in committee, and will very like
ly be earliest reported. It is by no
means certain however, to become a law.
The murder of Chinamen and the de
struction of property caused by a mob in
Denver, Col, in November, 1880, has
been the subject of diplomatic corres
pondence between China and the United
States, the former claiming reparation
in the way of damages to be paid to the
families of the murdered Chinamen. The
Chinese Minister was informed that the
United States did not hold themselves
responsible for the outrages, because
they occurred in a State where local
government existed, and that the Gene
ral Government could not undertake to
protect foreign citizens in communities
where the local authorities were for the
time being paralyzed and unable to pre
serve the peace. This position, which
was originally taken,adhered to.
Even the members of the Russian Im
perial family are under surveillance.
The German wife of the Grand Duke
Yladimer discovered not long ago that a
letter which she bad written to her
family", and in which it is said that she
complained of the dullness and inse
curity of life at the Russian Court, had
been opened by her own personal aide
de-camp before delivery to the post
The angry Grand Duchess complained
to the Emperor, but, to her astonish
ment, met with no sympathy from him.
Still more enraged, she delivered her
emphatic decision that if the offender
was not immediately dismissed she
would leave the Palace. The aide de
camp was dismissed, but only to receive
a much more lucrative appointment
Religious toleration is evidently mak
ing progress, and it does look as if the
beginning of the millenium was at hand.
On Sunday last in New York the Rev.
Dr. Gottheil, rabbi of the Jewish Temple
Emanu El in Fifth avenue, and its trus
tees, offered the U6e of the temple on
Sunday mornings to the congregation of
the Protestant Episcopal Church of the
Incarnation, which was made untenanta
ble by a recent fire. The offer was ac
cepted, and the morning service of the
Episcopal Church was read fer the first
time in the Jewish temple on the Sunday
before Easter. The Easter morning ser
vices also were celebrated there. Rev.
Arthur Brooks, rector of the church,
read the prayers and preached the ser
mon, and the church choir sang the
Easter music. There were a few He
brews in the congregation, who were not
at all displeased by the liberality shown
by the rabbi and trustees of the temple.
Wanted-A Good Detective System.
We have frequently alluded to the un
pleasant fact that crimes can be com
mitted in this community with an im
punity which seriously threatens our
reputation and general welfare. The
past year has been prolific of of
fences against the law, and we
regret to say that the perperators
thereof have, in the majority of cases,
gone unwhipt of justice. The la
mented liarvey was brutally murdered
in the faithful discharge of his
duty, yet to this day his assassin
is breathing the pure air of lib
erty with naught to molest or
make him afraid. A few months ago an
unfortunate seaman of the British steam
er Inibros was found lying dead in the
streets one Sunday morning with his
throat cut, and as vet the man who com
mitted the dastardly crime has not been
arrested. Michael. Shea was found dead
under the bluff but a few Sunday morn
ings since, and so far no clue has been
obtained to his cruel taking off.
And it is yet fresh in memory
how a short time ago one negro boy
deliberately killed another in our streets
in broad daylight, and yet is now se
curely reveling in the delights afforded by
other scenes and pastures new. These
and the two recent willful and atrocious
murders committed within the pa9t week,
when again the murderers coolly walked
away and are now secure from any iro.
mediate chances of disagreeable restraint
upon the freedom of their actions, all com
bine to tell a serious story of how easily
crime may be committed with compara
tive safety in our city.
Such a subject as this is an exceedingly
delicate one upon which to touch, as it is
calculated to work irreparable injury to
our community, especially when the true
facts are not sufficiently understood.
Savannah itself is not a disorderly city.
To the contrary, its police force is excel
lent and vigilant, and its citizens are
peaceful and law abiding. In the city
proper disorders and crimes are in as
small, if not smaller, proportion than in
any other city of its size in
the Union, and so remarkably quiet
indeed is it a9 a city that stran
gers in our midst must be surprised
at reading accounts of the murders which
we, as faithful chroniclers of events, are
required so often to report. What then (
it must naturally be asked, is the cause
of this frequency of crime and immunity
from punishment of criminals?
The answer is plain. In the first place,
as a general rule, the crimes which reflect
so discreditably upon our reputation are
committed in the dead of night, and on
the outskirts of the city, in disreputable
localities, over which it seems impossi
ble to exert proper vigilance. In the
next place, the swamps of South Caro
lina are so near and convenient to the
city that a criminal can readily elude
pursuit and place himself at once be
yond the reach of our civil and Sta’e
authorities. In the third place, there is
no standing reward offered for criminals,
so as to induce detectives to make extra
ordinary exertions for their capture,
while the duties and smallness of our
police force prevent it from always act
ing as promptly and as effiectively as is
desirable.
This last mentioned is undoubtedly the
main reason why we are afflicted with so
many criminals and so little punishment
follows their misdeeds, and a remedy
therefor should be at once devised. It
would, we doubt not, prove a sure pre
ventive of crime, if criminals were made
to feel that their chances of escape were
slight, and that swift and stern punish
ment was to follow their misdeeds.
This can be effected if sufficient rewards
are offered to detectives to risk the dan
gers and spend the time necessary to
bringing fugitives from justice within
the reach of the law. And if, in addition
to this, we had a corps of salariqjl pro
fessional detectives attached to our police
force, to be under the orders of,and :o re
port regularly to, the chief of that body,
then we feel safe in predicting that it
would not be long before we should hear
of more prompt arrests, and, in conse
quence, less frequent violations of law.
Our State, county and city authorities
should seriously consider this important
matter. It will not do for them longer
to close their eyes to the existing state of
affairs. Unpleasant as it maybe, still it is
our manifest duty to ventilate and com
ment upon facts as they are, even though
many might perhaps regard such com
ments as impolitic, and it is
equally the duty of our
authorities to see to it that we are not
called upon to perform so disagreeable a
task. A sum set apart for rewards for
the apprehension, with proof to convict,
of perpetrators of villainous deeds, and
a sufficient detective force at the com
mand of the city will bring about a con
summation so devoutly to be wished,
especially if, after arrest, malefactors feel
convinced that the courts and juries will
promptly visit their offenses with de
served justice.
The Prospect for Investors.
The New York World thinks that this
is the best opportunity which will be
offered investors for a long time to pur
chase good securities. It bases this opinion
on the ground that on Saturday last a
call was made for $20,000,000 matured
bonds, and that during the month of
May other bonds aggregating $15,000,000
will mature, and on June 7th still an
other call for $15,000,000 will be due.
It is also confidently expected by those
competent to judge that, in addition to
this sura of $50,000,000, the government
will pay off $75,000,000 to $100,000,000
of the public debt before the close of the
calendar year. This, it argues, will not
only make money easy, but that so large
an expulsion of money from government
bonds must necessarily lead to a demand
for other investments, and to such an
extent as will probably bring about a
marked enhancement in the market
prices of railway mortgages and other
securities that return a fair income to
buyers.
This reasoning sounds plausible, and
may be good, but there is one trouble
about it; Jay Gould controls the World,
and Jay Gould evidently wants to get
rid of some of those $-53,000,000 of secu
rities which he holds. Hence Jay Gould
is a big bull in the market, and speaks
from an interested standpoint The
lambs have learned by rather severe ex
perience of late to take whatever ema
nates from a professional speculator and
manipulator of stocks with many large
grains of salt
Guiteau has raised the price of his
autographs. He has put a card at the
door of his cell with an inscription on it
to the effect that hereafter he would sell
his autographs for 25 cents each or $2 -50
a dozen. He is also careful to state that
no ext*a charge will be made for adding
to them such religious sentiments as “In
God we truet,” etc.
The Galveston Neve thinks that if Mr.
Tilden receives the Democratic Presi
dential nomination there might be some
difficulty in electing him, but that no
man could be found who would give a
more efficient administration or effect
more thoroughly civil service reform. I
The Existing Labor Troubles.
Commenting on the labor troubles at
present existing in various sections of
the country, tbe Philadelphia Pr>e is of
the opinion that they are caused just
now either by labor and capital clinching
to avoid their full share of coming losses,
or to enjoy their full share of increasing
profits. Real estate is advancing in
value, and this in turn has increased
the profits of building, and so in that
branch of trade there is a pressure
for higher wages. The reverse, however,
is, for the most part, true in
manufactures. With cotton nearly a
fifth higher than a year ago, print cloths
and standard sheetings are cheaper, and
the reduced wages of the Pacific Mills,
the lockout at Cohoes, and the scattering
strikes at Providence, all mean that the
manufacturer is shifting on labor a part
of the loss in the joint enterprise of man
ufacture. Strikes in nearly all other
manufactures rest on the same basis.
Lessening profits, a diminished demand
and increasing stock are forcing a reduc
tion of wages, and unfortunately no way
now exists to settle the dispute as to who
shall bear this loss but an abrupt reduc
tion of wages by the employer and a
strike by the men. Yet a clumsier way
to make a bargain or strike a balance
could not be devised.
A question like this, as our Philadel
phia contemporary rightly reasons, is
one which arbitration ought to dec'de,
and which nothing but arbitration can.
The decision whether the existing con
dition of business will permit the pay
ment of wages as they are, or whether it
requires an advance or a reduction to
meet a change in the price of the raw
material, is not one to be wrangled over
between employer and a committee, or
spouted over in a strikers’ meeting. It
is a subject fit only for slow, careful,
patient irquiry, and it will never be
fairly decided until laborers are willing
to look facts in the face and share the
ups and downs of trade, aud employers
are ready on their side to show the
real necessity of lower wages or admit
the justice of higher ones, as the condi
tion of business is made clear by the
examination which should precede every
arbitration. Until this practice is gen
erally adopted, struggles like those now
in progress will unsettle trade and fill the
community with apprehension of a repe
tition of the great industrial conflicts of
1877.

Anew pump for the compression of gases
hss been invented by M. Cailletet. A quan

carbouic acid or protoxide of nitrogen. The
compressed gase’ are 6tored in bundles of
metallic tubes communicating with each
other, and each holding about four liters.
Pressures of several hundred atmospheres
are attained. The movement of the mercu

The emigration from all the Irish ports
in the year 1881 was less than in 1880 by
17,138, the total for ISSI having been 75,719
All excep* 302 of these 75.719 were natives
of Ireland. LMoster furnished 16 232 of
them, Mucster 21,752, Ulster 24,101, and
Connaught 16,332. Since 1851 the total
emigration has been 2,715,604, the yearly
number having fluctuated from 190,322, in
1852, to 37 587 in 1876. Of those who went
away last year, 7S 4 ppr cent. went, to the
United States, and 10,623 to Great Britain.
About 64 per cent, of the total were classed
as laborers, and only 6 per cent, as farm
ers.
Mr. Tennyson, through his son
has replied to the temperance society which
recently forwarded him a resolution express
ing regret at the “drink” passages in his
new song. “My father begs to thank tbe
committee.” the son writes, “for their reso
lution. So one honors more highly the
good work done by them than my father.
I must, however, ask you to remember that
tbe ‘common cup’ has in all ages been em
ployed as a sacred symbol of unity, and
that my father has only used the word
‘drlDk’ in reference to this symbol. I much
regret that it should have been otherwise
understood.”
The journal L'Electricite of Paris an
nounces that premature burial can be ren
dered absolutely Impossible by applying, in
cases where the certain signs of death are
wanting, an electric current to the body.
Such a test being applied five or six hours
after presumed death, non contraction of
tbe muscles will prove beyond a doubt that
life is extinct. This discovery is received
wi'h much satisfaction in France and Ger
many, where the laws requiring prompt
burial admit the possibility of horrible mis
takes, which, in the belief of many persons
competent to form an opinion, are of not
very infrequent occurrence.
Peru is now to go through a period of “re
cot s’ruction” much in the same order as the
Southern Sates experienced after the war.
Pierola, th ex dictator, has left the coun
try, which is now, so the news runs, firmly
united under the constitutional government
of Calderon represented by the V’c? Presi
dent. The Btates of the South were recon
structed under the dictation of the“patriots”
who had been developed by the war, while
Peru is to go through the same process
under the dictation of Chili without any
brake or protest from any other country. It
is far from a pleasing prospect which the
conquered country has before her.
Bome time ago two servants of the Queen,
named Warne, husband and wife, died at
Osborne, and were buried in Wippingham
churchyard. Shortly before the Queen left
England for Mentone, she had placed at
their graves a hAdstone bearing the follow
ing Inscription, which she herself had writ
ten: “To the respected memory of Thomas
Warne: died December 27, 1881, aged 69;
and of Louisa Warne, his wife, died Sep
tember 19, 1881, aged 65, who during 27
years had charge of the BwUs Cottage, Os
borne, where thev died. Thta stone was
erected by Queen Victoria and her children,
January, 1882 ‘He that is fatthful in that
which is least Is faithful also in much.’ ”
Canon Fleming preached the evening ser
mon in Westminster Abbey on the Sunday
following the death of Mr. Longfellow. He
declared, near the end of his discourse, that
the poet would be as sincerely mourned in
England as in America. “We are sitting
near to monumental stones,” be said, “that
remind ua no nation owes so much to her
good and great men as ourselves. And in
the death of Longfellow, just recorded
across the Atlantic, we feel a touch of sor
row that bids us claim him, if not as one of
our own to lie in our Abbey, yet as one of
tbe men of this century who lived and
talked and labored and wrote for us all.”
Great Paul, the new monster bell for St.
Paul’s Cathedral in Loudon, was succ:ss
fully rung two weeks ago at the foundry in
Loughborough. It was swung at the time
on its own head stock, being supported two
feet from tbe ground on temporary timber
ing. It was lifted by a fifty-ton iron crane,
and nineteen men were required to ring it
properly, though four could make it epeak.
While shut in by walls and houses, the bell
was heard seven miles away. It is said that
this is the first case of a bell of anything
like the weight of Great Paul being swung.
All the large bells of Russia are struck—
they are never swung—while the great bell

The career of a great criminal genius may
be as romantic and interesting in its way as
that of a great poet or commander. Per
haps the most remarkable example of inge
nious dishonesty which the present age has
produced is Vanderstein, the head of a gang
of thieves known to have committed the
Hatton Garden aud other great jewel rob
bFr'es’in all the capitals of Europe, who has
kept the entire machinery of crime in such
working order as to avoid detection for
many years. He has been for some time
known to the police by the homely name of
Billy Norris, and among his other aliases
are Hamilton, Gordon, Henries, Ricardo,
etc. He was convicted of forgery in Dublin
in 1865 and sentenced to twenty years penal
servitude. Previous to that he received ten
years for stealing mail bags, and is now out
on a ticket of leave. It is said that at one
period of his career Vanderstein lived in a
splendid house with luxurious apartmeuts,
and at another was hunted from place to
place in the most abject misery.
The other night a lady of Stapleton, Btaten
Island, dreamed that her husband, John
Bale, postmaster, was in danger, and then
that be was dead. The dream was so vivid,
real-like, that she got up and tearfully wait
ed for his corpse to be brought to the house.
When seme men came with the body of Mr.
Bale at five o’clock in the morning it was
no surprise to her. The body was found
near his own door, lying face downwards on
tbe pavement. There was a bleeding ga=h
on the forehead where it had struck tbe
stones. He had been balancing accounts at
tbe post office until twelve o’clock, when he
left the ( ffiee with government money and
other valuables, and started home. Several
people passed the prostrate body but sup
posed the man was drunk. At length the
corpse wss recogn'z-ffl by a relgbbor. The
p jcket6 of the dtceased had not been dit
turbed, and the solution of hts death In
'he street Is a fit of spiplexy. Mr. Ba’e
was a man of steady habits and apparent
robust health, and Mrs. Bale believes In
dreams.
President Grevy, of France, lately nar
rowly escaped an assassination, so similar
to that which visited Garfield as to make
the story interesting. Emile Florlon is the
name of the French Guiteau, a man whose
similarity to his American prototype in his
tory. character and disposition is really re
markable. Florion was an earnest office
seeker, but failing to get a position, con
ceived a violent hatred towards the heads of
the French Government, whom he held re
soocsible for his failure. Leaving his hom°,
Rbeims, he walked afoot to Paris to have
his revenge on his enemies. Purchasing a
p!s*ol with a small amount of money that a
friend lent him, he lay In wait for President
Grevy, whom he Intended to assassinate.
Here the similarity of this story to Guiteau’s
ends. The French President does not travel
around alone and unaccompanied as Garfield
did, and Florlon, after waiting hours for an
opporlunity, eave it up and started after
Gambetta. Equally unsuccessful here, ard
determined on blood, he walked up to the
first official he met, drew his revolver and
•hot him.
The steamer City of Montreal la’ely
brought a delec’able cargo over from
Europe and landed the goods safely in New
York—six hundred young women, all in the
steerage, and not a male passenger allowed
in that portion of the vessel. This was the
biggest batch of giris that ever came or
went anywhere in one ship. There were
handsome and homely girls, modest and
•omely girls, short and tall girls, plumpy
and small girls, and all were young and
wanted to work, all the six hundred. Their
landing ought to have made a harvest for
housekeepers, who are pestered with the
crankiness of 6ervant-galisra. They were
all candidates for service of one kind and
another, and just think of what euch a raft
of thtm are qualified to do in various ways
for a young country. Mo6t of them will
marry in the course of time, and many a
youug man could find a better fortune In
that wilderness of womanhood than he will
or can In the most luxurious parlor or con
servatory of beau'y, where the daughters
of wealth are pampered and trained to sell.
A girl who has the courage to cross the seas
to find honest work is worth any man’s
looking after and all men’s respect.

the Cutic ura Remedies, as I had been urged to do
by my sister living in Boston, who knew the origi
nators of them. I had been suffering for five years
with hard, discolored swellings in my neck about
the size of a large butternut. I used them faithfully
for five weeks, and then was overjoyed to find the
swelling- reduced in size, and my appetite, strength,
and spirits improved. In three months more the
swellings were all gone away, the flesh w:is soft and
the skin natural. It seems that tbe Resolvent
went to the very spot, and actually dissolved the
lumps of humor, and carried them off.
Gratefully yours,

RUNNING SORES
On the Deg Seven Years; Treated by Physt*
cians and in Hospitals without
Cure.
I had running sores on my left leg for seven years,
whicli reduced my limb to simple skin and bone, and
unable to support my weight unless swathed in band
ages. A consultation of physicians at the City
Hospital of Boston decided that it would have to be
amputated to save my life. Such was my condition
when I began to use the Cuticura Remedies,
which have effectually cured me, in gratitude for
which I make this public statement of my case.

MALIGNANT CANKER
For Tears A terrible Case Cured by
Cuticura Resolvent.
X feel that I must write you what your CuncußA
Resolvent has done for me. I have had Canker of
the Mouth and Stomach for years. It seemed as if
my whole inside was covered with wUte festers.
I could not keep any solid foods on my stomach,
and n,y mouth ran water all the time. I was in
great distress and had no hope of cure until I got
hold of the Resolvent, seven bottles of which
cured me of every symptom.
