We regret to announce another inter
ruption in our series of original stonips.
We expected to be able to-day to present
the first number of a story by Mark
Twain, or Mr. Howells, but neither ol
these gentlemen has his story quite
ready. On next Sunday, however, we
expect to present the beginning of an
other story by Henry James, entitled
“Geer..ana's Reasons." It is said to be
ever n, re interesting than “Pandora,”
which we j üblisbed less than a month
age.

A Republican paper sneeringlv alludes
to Grover Cleveland as a man without a

the great Sew York race of 1882, In which
Cleveland beat the best running record
ever known there, while the distinguished
Republican contestant. Folger, was dis
tanced.

The New York World says: “The last
Democratic Convention in which Benja
min F. Butler appeared before the Chi
cago Convtetion was that in Charleston
and Baltimore in IB6o—twenty-four years
ago. Tne next he attends ought to be in
190s. twenty-four years from the present
date.” The attendance of Butler at
the future Democratic conventions de
pends very much on how the Presidential
bee buzzes, and how the cat jumps. Butler
don't Ive the Democracy for Democra
cy’s sake.
It is unfortunate for the real working
men of the country that those who pro
less to represent them politically are often
barroom bullies or loud-mouthed dema
gogues. Working meu deserve as much
as any > taer class, but their interests
ought to be represented by true “work
ing men,” w hether they happen to be
farmer*, machinists, laborers, lawyers or
merchants. One class of working men
should r. t be arrayed against another,
but ail workingmen ought to stand shoul
der to shoulder against idlers and public
robbers.
It is well that the cities all over the

enfold greater than is occasioned by a
visitation of cholera once in a score or
two of years. Even cleanliness may not
avail against cholera, but it is effectual
against many other diseases which are

devilment is up over in England,
lord Randolph Churchill and the Prince
of Wales have become quite friendly.
Lord Randolph dined three times with the
Prince while they were in Paris, and it is
stated that love letters are constantly
passing between them since their return.
Whether their changed relations is a move
to overthrow the opposition or the Minis
try has not yet developed, but if the Queen
should drop off suddenly a change of policy
might be inaugurated under Edward
VII. that would cause a sensation among
the old fossils of the present adminis
tration.
Gen. Lew Wallace in a recent interview
said: “In the three years that 1 have
been in Constantinople, which is a com
mercial centre, I have seen our flag on
two ships in that harbor. One was th e
Namouna. James Gordon Bennett’s yacht,
and the other was on the United States
ship Quinnebaug. This is bad for Fourth
of July orators, but it is a fact which the
people might as well know. I never have
seen our flag upon a ship of commerce or
a steamer there. It is a matter of aston
ishment to the Turks. They know our
•trength.our wealth and our producing ca
pacity. They ask repeatedly, ‘Where are
your ships?’ “Where is your flag*’ ‘What
is the matter?’” Of course Gen. Wal
lace did not explain the policy of the
grand old party that has driven our flag
ff the ocean in order to foster a few mo
nopolies which rob our own government
and people. More than likely the General
tried to deceive the inquisitive Turks by
flying off into abuse of Capt. Sc in me s atd
the Southern Confederacy.
Character of the Campaign.
It will be almost a month, perhaps,
before the national campaign fairly be
gins. The Republican National Com
mittee has organized, but it has not yet
begun work. The Democratic National
Committee will meet in New York 'on the
24th of this month, and it will be quite a
while after that date before It will be
readv to begin operations. In the mear
time the press and the people wiil discuss
the candidates. All the incidents of the
boyhood days of Cleveland and Blaine
that can be gleaned -from old settlers in
the neighborhoods where they passed the
earlier years of their lives will be touched
up by the ready pens and the fertile im
aginations of übiquitous corresi>ondents.
If there is a scarcity of incidents there
will be little hesitation in inventing them.
It will be made to appear that the stand
dard bearers were very remarkable child
ren. and that as they grew to manhood
it was freely predicted that they would
some day be great men. There is every
indication that when the campaign does
open it will be very lively until its close.
The Democrats are more confident
of winning than they have
been at any time since the war. They
are perfectly satisfied that if they make
no great blunders they will win the vic
tory. They have candidates to which
there can be no reasonable objection
offered, and the people are tired of the
corrupt practices of the Republican par
ty. The country is ripe for a change, and,
with proper management, a change is
pretty certain to lie made. This condi
tion of affairs will inspire the Democrats
to carry on the contest with confidence
and spirit. The Republicans, on the
other band, are desperate. They un
derstand that if they are beaten the
chances are not only that they will re
main out of power for an indefinite period
but that their party will go to pieces.
They will therefore make every effort to
retain control of the government. It is
not probable that the campaign will be as
personal in its character as was at first
supposed. The Republican candidates
are vulnerable, but the Democratic can
didates are not. There is no prob
ability that the tongue of scandal
will trouble Cleveland and Hendricks.
If there cannot be an exchange ot scan
dal it is probable that scandal will grad
ually drop out of the canvass. Of course
care ill be taken at all times, from the
beginning to the end of the campaign, to
direct the attention of the country to the
clean records of the Democratic candi
dates and the spotted records of the Re
publican candidates. The people will be
asked to look on this picture and on that.
It will not be a difficult task to get them to
see and appreciate the difference. The
campaign will be mainly fought on the tar
iff issue, the public laud question, the
need of administrative reform and other
points stated in the platforms.
Women In Washington Territory.
Accounts from Washington Territory
do not give anything very encouraging
about woman suffrage in that Territory.
So far as voting is concerned the law may
be said to be almost inoperative, as very
few of the better class of women vote at
all, and bold,* bad women are not very
numerous out there. Enough women
vote, however, to make candidates very
particular to attend ail church fairs and
similar entertainments, and even to make
them punctual at religious meetings of
ail kinds.
When it comes to jury duty the disad
vantages and objections to woman
suffrage become conspicuous. A Seattle
correspondent of a San Francisco paper
has this to say of a trial that recently
took place in that city: “There were two
or three—l don’t remember the exact
number —ladies. It was an ill-fame case.
Jury stood ten for and two against con
viction. One of the two finally was con
verted. But the survivor, a hardened
old fellow, staid out against the eleven.
The ladies 6tood the confinement as well
as he did and better. They wouldn’t give
up; kept talking to him about ‘principle,
principle!* (what did he careaboutprinci
ple?): kept it up all night. Finally, m
the morning, when he tried to get a little
sleep, they stuffed sand in his mouth to
keep him awake for more talk, and so
wore him out.”
Of course the better class of women
dodge jury duty as they would a plague,
and it is considered a great misfortune
both by the women themselves, their chil
dren and their husbands when they are
“caught” on a case.
In Tocoma the women got on the grand
jury and indicted saloon keepers and the
keepers of gaming establishments right
and left. The defendants were each fined
SI,OOO, put in jail fifteen days and their
houses closed—at least until after court
adjourned. This was of course too pro
gressive for that wild Western town, and
two-thirds of the community were at once
arrayed strongly against women as ju
rors.
It is probable that woman suffrage will
soon be a thing of the past in Washington
Territory. With nearly all the rougher
elements opposed to it, and very many of
the better class of women as well as men
satisfied that it has proved a tailure
wherein most good was expected of it,
the purification of the ballot-box and the
jury system, it can not stand much longer.
Claiming; Florida.
Republican leaders at the North are
talking about carrying several Southern
States. They talk more confidently with
respect to Florida than any other. Doubt
less this talk is founded upon the belief
that there is not entire harmony in the
Democratic party of Florida, and that the
full Democratic vote will not, therefore,
be polled. It is true that the Democrats
hold the State by a very narrow margin,
but those who are best informed with
respect to Florida’s politics are satisfied
that it is large enough to insure a Demo
cratic victory. The Northern Republican
leaders think that immigration from the
North and West into the State has been
so large within the last year or two, that
the Republicans, if they control the
full negro vote, have a majority. The
North and West have certainly furnished
Florida with a good many settlers within
a very short period, but not so many
as Georgia and some other Southern
States have. The Republican vote of
Florida has not grown faster than the
Democratic vote has, and there is not,
therefore, any reason to think that immi
gration ha 9 wiped out the Democratic
majority. The only thing on which the
Republican success can be predicted
reasonably is the apathy of the Demo
crats. If reports are to be credited there
is some dissatisfaction, due to
various causes, but it is not
by any means certain that this dissatis
faction will continue and operate against
the party at the polls. When the op
posing parties are fairly arrayed against
each other the party spirit will be
awakened, and Democrats that now ap
pear to be hanging back will be found in
the front rank. The nominees for Gover
nor and Lieutenant Governor are men of
character and ability, and, if elected, w ill
give the State a good administration.
There is every reason to think that what
ever soreness there is will disappear with
the opening of the campaign. The Na
tional Democratic party cannot afford to
lose Florida, and it is the business of the
Democrats of Florida to see that it does
not losait.
A distinguished citizen yesterday said
that there was a close resemblance be
tween Gov, Cleveland, the Democratic
Presidential nominee, and Mr. Bry an, the
popular Superintendent ol our Cotton
Exchange. The resemblance is certa inly
very noticeable. They are both good men,
and each weighs at least 250 pounds.
THE SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY. JULY 13, 1881.
A Compliment from Abroad.
A good word lor Cleveland comes from
England. The London Daily Seres says that ;
America’s foreign relations will be safer
in Cleveland’s hands than in those of j
Blaine. That is very true. Blaine’s
idea would be, if elected, to call attention
to his administration by trying to disturb
the peaceful relations between this conn- ]
try and foreign governments. He would
keep the country uneasy by an aggres
sive, irritating policy which would
do the country no good, but
would have a dampening effect
on business. Cleveland’s aim would be
to maintain pleasant relations with other
powers without sacrificing either dignity,
self-respect or principle. Because Cleve
land has not figured in national affairs it
does not follow that he has not well de
fined views on all the great questions now
before the country, or that have occupied
the attention oi the government since the
war. If, however, the English journals
think that he would not be quick to re
sent any attack on American interests
or any infringement of the rights of Ameri
can they are very much mis
taken. He wouldn't be all the while
looking for somebody to knock a chip off
his shoulder, but he would at all times
be prepared to insist upon the fullest
measure of justice to America and to
American citizens. When he was Mayor of
Buffalo there was some excitement about
the imprisonment of American citizens in
British jails, and he had occasion to ex
press his views on the question at issue.
In a speech in that city he said:
It needed not the statute which is now
the law of the land, declaring that “all
naturalized citizens while in foreign
lands are entitled to and shall receive
from this government the same protection
ot person and property which is accorded
to native born citizens,” to voice the poli
cy of our nation.
In all lands where the semblance of lib
erty is preserved, the right of a person ar
rested to a speedy accusation and trial is
or ought to be a fundamental law as it is
a rule of civilization.
At any rate, we hold it to be so, and this
is one of the rights which we undertake to
guarantee to any native born or naturaliz
ed citizen of ours, whether he be impris
oned by order of the Czar of Russia or un
der the pretext of a law administered for
the benefit of the landed aristocracy of
England.
We do not claim to make laws for other
countries, but we do insist that whatso
ever those laws may lie. they shall, in the
interests of human freedom and the
rights of mankind, so far as they involve
the liberty of our citizens, be" speedily
administered. We have a right to say,
and do say, that mere suspicion without
examination or trial is not suflieient to
justify the long imprisonment of a citizen
ot America. Other nations may permit
their citizens to be thus Imprisoned.
Ours will not. And this in effect has been
solemnly declared by statute.
We have met here’ to-night to consider
the subject and to inquire into the cause
and the reasons and the justice of the
imprisonment of certain of our fellow
citizens now held in British prisons with
out the semblance of a trial or legal ex
amination. Our law declares that the
government shall act in such cases.. But
the people are the creators of the govern
ment.
Blaine was Secretary of State when this
speech was delivered, and was attracting
a good deal of attention to himself by
what he was pretending to do rather than
by what he was actually doing. Cleve
land felt the time had come for some sort
of action on the part of our government,
and he did not hesitate to point out the
course that ought to be pursued. Had he
been in Blaine’s place, it is probable that
he would have talked less and done more.
Curing by Faith.
Within the last lew months many
alleged instances of faith cure have been
published in different parts of the coun
try. Cures have been effected by faith
from the earlier periods of the world’s his
tory, but in this age of unbelief they are
quite rare, and people are generally very
skeptical on the subject. The fact is that
professed Christians do not possess the
faith of the apostles in regard to miracu
lous cures. It is the pretty generally
accepted doctrine of the Christian world
that the days of miracles have passed,
yet nowhere is it shown when or where
they ceased, or when the power to per
form them was taken away.
The offering of prayer for the sick is
very common, but in most instances it is
mere formality, and not made with the
expectation that it will be answered, it
is extremely rare that we hear of a min
ister who has prepared himself by fasting
and prayer to heal the sick by faith.
When one is heard of he is looked upon
as a crank or as a downright impostor.
Washington city is now the scene of a
good deal of excitement on this subject.
The “Faith Healers” are quite active
there, and they profess to have effected
many cures during the last lew weeks,
an account of which might well be placed
under the caption ‘-Remarkable if True.”
It would seem to be no difficult matter to
ascertain the truth of some of the cases.
Much harm may be done from a religious
point of view by a false position on this
subject. If the sick are raised up in this
age by the faith of Christians it is time
Christians should have some definite be
lief on the subject. The question is not
anew one, but it is worth a little time,
study and discussion.
Kelly ami Butler.
There is naturally a desire to know
what Kelly and Butler propose to do with
respect to the Democratic ticket. It is
noticeable that immediately after the con
vention completed its work they resisted
all attempts to interview them. Are they
meditating treason? It is suspected that
they are, but there is no certain foundation
for the suspicion. Many of Kelly’s
friends say that he will finally
support the ticket. Before the nomina
tion of Cleveland Kelly declared
that he would not turn over his hand to
help to elect him. Butler said before the
convention assembled that he would
support the ticket whoever might be
nomin ited. It is clear, howev r, that he
aimed to make capital for 1 raselt at
Chicag •- and not to advance the uterests
of the l ty. His minority repo :t on the
platfon. and his speech in support of it,
were 1 oth intended to damage
the party. He may not open
ly take a position against the
ticket, but it would be in keeping with
his character and career il he should at
tack it secretly aud in ways that would
be more darffaging than open opposition.
He says that as the candidate of the
Greenbackers and anti-monopolists he
wiU draw more votes from the Republi
cans than from the Democrats, and that if
he succeeds in getting a few elec
toral votes the election may be
thrown into the House of Repre
sentatives, where the Democrats
have the power to choose a President.
Butler may be sincere in what he says
and he may not. It is certain that confi
dence in him is not very strong. How
ever, there is no indication of uneasiness
among the Democratic leaders respecting
the course that Kelly and Butler may
pursue. Butler hasn’t much strength
outside of Massachusetts, and the Demo
crats do not expect to carry that State.
Kelly’s opposition to Tilden in 1876 did
not hurt Tilden and it will not do Cleve
land much, if any, damage. The opposi
tion of Tammany will increase his popu
larity with those who are anxious to see
an honest and conservative man elected
President, and may bring him more votes
than Tammany controls. There is no oc
casion, therefore, to bother about the
plans and purposes of Kelly and Butler.
No more the Presidential bee improves
each shining hour; he buzzes not for
Stephen Field, nor hums for Roswell
Flower. His Bayard notes have sunk to
rest, while Tilden has no bonnet; Mc-
Donald, Randall, Butler now hear not the
bee's sweet sonnet.

Blaine’s Early Religion.

Kelly, the False Prophet.
Detroit Free Press {Dent.).
In 1876 John Kelly predicted that if Tilden
were nominated he would not carry New
York. In 1880 Kelly prophesied that if Han
cock were nominated he would carry New
York. Hancock didn't carrv New York. In
1884 Kelly prophefies that if Cleveland is nom
inated he cannot carry New York. There
fore Cleveland will carry New York.
Keifer Encouraged.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch {Dem.).
It was supposed that Keifer was effectually
squelched by the gorgeous tatooing he had re
ceived from all the great organs of the Re
publican party. But the nomination of
Blaine and the promotion of Elkins and
Clayton as campaign bosses, have put new
life and mettle into Keifer. He is again a
candidate, and* says he will go back to Con
gress or raise a first class row in the ranks.

One of the curiosities to be exhibited at the
New Orleans Exposition is a palmetto stump
completely petrified, it was dug up recently
from the sand on the beach at Mount Pleasant,
S. C., and weighs 40 pounds. It is solid stone,

At a London dinner party the following was
handed to the master of the hou-e: “A selec
tion of pianoforte solos, songs aud vocal dnets
will lie performed thisor first fine evening un
der your window by two gentlemen in pain
fully reduced circumstances, who earnestly
solicit your practical sympathy, which, if any,
please kindly send out'to us.” In the street
below was a piano on a cart, accompanied by
two men, who proceeded to give an agreeable
performance.
Monaco is more than menaced. Ferry is
determined on its destruction, and he has
with him not only the King of Italy, but the
German Imperia l family and Queen Victoria,
who, when at Mentone.'was horrified with the
evidences she saw of the degrading influences
of the tables. Lord Granville instructed Lord
Lyons to do everything in his power to sup
press the hell, and the feelings of the German
Crown Prince and Princess against the plague
spot are deeper than formerly.
In Tahiti the Protestants outnumber the
Catholics ten to one. No advantage is given
by the government to the Catholics ami there
is no bitter antagonism. The Protestants re
gard them as a healthy stimulus. The French
Protestant missions take the lead. Tlie Sab
bath is much better observed in Tahiti than
in England. Foreigners can buy no fish or
eggs of the natives on Sunday. There are two
Sundays in the islands. The' French changed
the Sunday from one day to another. The
neighboring islands accepted the change, but
Tahiti dill not, so some keep both. There is
no idol worship in the islands now.
It is remarked that while many theatrical
favorites in Paris made their first appearance
on the stage at a cafe concert, there are no in
stances of writers for such places achieving
fame in the higher walks of literature. Not
long ago a man died who for more than forty
years had produced songs and plays for them,
some of which were successful in their way,
and his name was not even known by the peo
ple who had most often applauded his efforts.

The little Calico Indian pony, which an In

Albert, the groom, does the beet he can with
it, but it will be many a day before it can lie
turned over to its young mistress in a pretty
little dog cart, as was intended. Young Allan
Arthur is visiting the White House now, and
he takes great delight in riding the little del
low daily, “and,” said one of the stableman,
“when Mr. Allan gets through his ride, that
little devil is willing to go as slowly and qui
etly as is wanted, is Mr. Allan a good rider?
I. should say he was. It takes a good one to
get the better of him. If he was here ail the
time that pony would become gentle. It nee :s
to be kept down all the time.”
A Sax Francisco ladv desired to be photo
graphed in decoilete toilet, and the Argonaut
gives the following report of her interview
with the artist: Madame Belavoir submitted
with a magnificent pliancy to the pawing of
the picture fiend. He pulled at her corsage,
he settled it to his liking, he would retire ami
gaze at it, and then tiptoe back and pull it
further down. At last she spoke: “What is
the reason that you are so anxious to bring
this corsage down?” “Well, you see, ma’am,
vou see when we have very young girls we
don't try to make the—ah—to make them—
ah —strikinglv daykolleet, but with the other
ladies it’s different—entirely different, I as
sure you, ma’am. The older a lady the more
davcolleet she can lie took.” “Ah,” said tbe
billowv beauty, settling herseif slightly in her
cuirass, “if th'at is the case, I think you had
better go on with the picture. If you trifle
further, with my corsage, you will make me
at least a hundred.”

Little nine-year-old Marie Woodti, with
a tiny Alpine hat set jauntily on her
flaxen head, climbed up out of the steerage
of the steamer Canada yesterday, says the
New York Sun of the 10th instant, and
stepped tremblingly into Castle Garden.
All the officials and' clerks made a break
to get to her first and wipe away the tear
drops that glistened in her blue eyes. She
wore a short Swiss dress of bright-colored
cloth, and had a little Alpine knapsack
strapped to her shoulder. In her pocket
was a little wallet full of money. Dang
ling from her neck were two leather tags.
On them was painted in plain letters:
Marie Woodti, Massillon, Ohio.
“I came from Switzerland all alone by
myself,” she said to Superintendent Jack
son, when her tears were dried. “My
father and mother have a farm in Ohio.
They came to this country ten months
ago,’ and sent my aunt the money to pay
my fare. I was alraid of the big crowd,
and that’s why I cried. I ain’t afraid to
go to Ohio by myself, though.”

5-year-old 9ister, while his 9-year-old
brother walked beside him. He asked
Superintendent Jackson where he could
get the train for the West.
“Well, my little man,” the Superintend

“To Chicago, yer AYurskup.”
“To the convention?”

THE LOGAN BLACK LAWS.
How Sable Jack Came Near Sending
Gen. Palmer to the Penitentiary.
Washington Letter.
Gen. Palmer, ot Illinois, is most spoken of
for A’ice President. He is not only an able
man. with a conspicuous and brilliant
war record, but he is very popular in Illi
nois and Indiana; and there are reasons
why he would make ao uncommonly good
“set oft'” against Gen. Logan. Gen. Logan
was once the means oi bringing Gen.
Palmer very near the door of a State
prison.
It will be remembered that Gen. Lo
gan was the author of the atrocious and
cruel black code of Illinois, which he
pushed through the Legislature. By this
Logan black code, as it was called, it was
made a State prison offense for a white
man to bring a free black man into the
State, and tlie colored people were made
incapable of bearing witness against
white men in a court of justice. During
the war Gen. Palmer returned to his home
in Carlinsville very seriously ill, and in
the care of a colored man who was his
nurse. Soon after his return home he
was indicted by the grand jury of Macou
pin county, for tne crime of bringing a
negro into the State “contrary te the form
of the statute in such case made and pro
vided, and against the peace and dignity
of the people of the State of Illinois.” He
was arrested, and managed his own case,
demanding a speedy trial. A jury was
empanelled and witnesses were called,
but here it was found that the “Logan
black laws” had over-reached themselves.
It was necessary for the prosecution to
prove that Gen. Palmer had brought the
colored man “from another State.” He
might have engaged him at Cairo or Ea9t
St. Louis: and il turned out that only two
persons knew the facts in the case. Gen.
Palmer, the accused, was not obliged to
testify against himself, and Gen. Logan’s
black laws made a negro incompetent to
testify against a white man. So the prose
cution broke down ; and Gen. Palmer, es
caping the penalties of Logan’s black
code, was able to return to duty in the
service. He commanded the Sixteenth
Army Corps in the Atlanta campaign.
Mr. Bergta and Mr. Bennett’s Cat.
Fete York Commercial Advertiser.
Yesterday alternoon the domestics of
the family of Mr. Molloy, who are now
occupying one of tbe houses of James
Gordon Bennett, at No. 427 Fifth Avenue,
were alarmed by a rattling among the
china and glassware in the butler’s
pantry. The girls called in alarm upon
George P. Barnett, a mulatto about 22
years old, employed in the house, to in
vestigate the matter. Barnett did so, and
found that the cat had got its head in a
metal cream-jug. The girls screamed
with fright, and to relieve them of their
fears, Barnett, gently lifting the cat by
the tail, assisted it over the fence into the
yard of the house adjoining. Unfortu
nately for Barnett, the house next door is
the residence of Mr. Henry Bergh. Mr.
Bergh procured a can-opener and re
lieved the cat of its predicament and then
called Officer Smart, of the Society lor the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, and
had Barnett arrested. In Jefferson Mar

the accused for trial at Special Sessions,
bail being fixed at S3OO.
LULU HURST IN NEW YORK.
Opinion* Divided a* to Her Power*—
Gossip in the Metropolis.
Correspondence of the Morning Fetes.
NSW Tors, July 10.—Miss Lulu Hurst,
the “Georgia Wonder,” is just now the
talk of the town. People are divided in
their opinions as to her capabilities, but
even those who think that there is some
trick in her performances do not really
know what to make ol them. The skep
tics —those who deny that she possesses
any occult powers—talk about her large
museular development, but even they
cannot account for the apparent ease
with which the female light weight made
heavy athletes of the Union Club waltz
around the stage of Wallack’s theatre
last evening. Nearly all who have seen
her. experiment on each other with canes,
umbrellas and billiard cues, in order to
discover the secret of her mysterious
powers; but while at times the one who
plays the part of Miss Hurst is able, for a
brief space, apparently to almost
rival her performances, the resem
blance does not last, and the
conclusion the baffled experimenters
arrive at, although they may not confess
it, is that her extraordinary gift is one of
those tilings no fellow can find out.
It is only the people who may have
seen her,’ but have experienced
her powers, who profess to deride
them. Those who have been whirled about
at the option of Miss Hurst, despite their
utmost resistance, think, if they do not
acknowledge it, as Mr. Grant, of the
Union Club, did last evening, that her
performances, if she merely uses her mus
cle. are more wonderful than if she pos
sessed some secret force. Police Captain
Williams has been converted to the secret
force theory without experiencing Miss
Hurst’s powers. He was earnestly de
sired to try a bout with her, but he wisely
concluded'that a captain of police would
lose in dignity if a promiscuous audience
saw him mastered by a young girl. He has
felt her arms, however, and says that she
has no muscle with which to perform her
feats of apparent strength. Dr. Forest,
who openly denounced Miss Burst as a
“transparent lraud” on Tuesday night, is
a physician of no reputation, whose opin
ion has no professional weight.
That Miss Hurst’s performances are
considered very extraordinary is shown
by the space they occupy m the columns
of the different newspapers. The Sun
this morning, in spite of its page report of
the Chicago Convention, devotes nearly a
column and a halt to a description ol
Miss Hurst and - her seance at Wallack’s
last night. In short, the general opinion
regarding Miss Hurst may be summed up
in the expression that there are more
things in heaven and earth than are
dreamed of in the philosophy of most
people.
the community was startled
yesterday bv a canard, originating no one
knows where. that the ex-Confederate
soldiers irom Richmond who are visiting
a G. A. R. post at Newark had been, with
their hosts, the victims of a boiler explo
sion while sailing around the bay on the
steamer Chancellor. Many hours elapsed
before it was learned that the soldiers
who were formerly enemies were dining
unharmed in peace and good fellowship
on Coney Island.
K Speaking of eating, jokes about the im
uecunious young man whose best girl’s
heart is only approached through her
stomach are now in order here. Last
week a number of persons were poisoned
by the ice cream of which they partook
at a Brooklyn church picnic, and more
recently New York soda beverages are
proved to be made of impure water fil
tered through verdigris which is deposited
in the metal faucets by the acids of the
svrups! “1 love you, lovet, oo well to poison
you!” the i. y. in. can now say when his
b. g. looks longingly at an i. c. ands. w.
saloon sign.
O Art, how many crimes are committed
in thv name! It would make a lover of
the beautiful gasp and stare to enter al
most any sales room in New York where
pictures' are disposed of by auction, but
the extraordinary paintings (?) which
are on sale in a store at the junction of
Fourth avenue and the Bowery are so bad
as to be worth buying as a joke. One’s
sense of humor could be gratified at small
expense. Ridiculously bad as the pic
tures are, the wonder is that they can be
sold so cheaply. Large landscapes,
whose frames are apparently worth $lO
or sl2, can be purchased, frame and
all, for one-filth of the first named
sum. Notwithstanding the sign-board
character of the so-called paintings these
prices are mysteriously small. While one
would rather be shot than have the best
ol them in his house, it is none the less a
conundrum how it can pay to sell so
much for so little. The best, or rather
the least worst, however, ie a work of art
compoieii with its fellows. It represents
a river with a cottage on its further bank,
and trees and mountains in the distance.
Were it not for the card announcing,
“Real oil painting, gilt trame, $2 25,” an
uncritical person might think the land
scape of some merit.
My attention was called the other day
to the discrepancy between the number
of missing people who are ultimately ac
counted for, and the number of dead
bodies lound in the rivers. About 1,000
persons are annually reported as missing
to the poliee. At least five-sixths of this
number turn up more or less safe and
sound, their absence having been due to
their spreeing proclivities, or to inciden
tal causes. Continually men and women,
too, mourned as dead, are found serving a
sentence for drunkenness on Blackwell’s
Island. Half of the remaining sixth, how
ever, are found in the river, the victims of
accidental drowning, suicide, and, in
some cases, of murder. But here is where
the discrepancy comes in. The dead
bodies found in the rivers which remain
unclaimed are far more numerous than
the missing people who are unaccounted
for. Deducting the persons accounted
for from the rivers’ dead, and therein*'
mains as many as fitly drownad>personß
who are not inquired ahomfalive or dead.
Whence comes tfeCs'hurpius* Think of
fifty persons dropping out of life in a
stogie Year, and no inquiry made as to
their fate! They are not tramps or per
sons necessarily friendless who when
tound drowned are thus ignored. On a
recent Friday the skeleton of a woman
was found in the North river at the foot
of Seventy-ninth street which was clothed
in a gown of expensive black silk. Al
though all the flesh had fallen
from the bones, so that the body
was unrecognizable, yet the silk dress
was apparently well preserved enough to
be identified. Nevertheless the body has
not been claimed, and it has been buried
in the Potter’s field. Whose was the
skeleton in the silk gown? And who are
half a hundred persons whose bodies are
annually found in the rivers? How came
they there? Were they victims to acci
dent, suicide or murder? Whichever they
were, how is it that they are so utterly
friendless as to be forgotten whether alive
or dead? Do fifty persons die every year
without anyone’s knowing or caring how
or when, in every city of a million inhabi
tants in the world ?
THE CITY IS WAITING FOR THE VERDICT
at Chicago. Down town great crowds are
gathered about the bulletin boards of the
newspapers, and throughout the city
there are little knots of people in front of
the telegraph offices, which, with com
mendable enterprise, display dispatches
in their windows as soon as they arrive.
The interest in the work of the convention
is shared by Republicans and Democrats
alike. The first named hope for a mis
take which will ensure Blaine’s election,
while the latter are sanguine that, taught
wisdom by defeat, the Democrats in con
vention will this tie com nit m error.
It is agreed here that if Cleveland is
nominated he will owe his success to John
KeUy. The convention, or rather Kelly,
is like the woman who said that she had a
great deal of influence over her husband—
whenever she tried to make him do any.
thing he did the opposite. The conven
tion evidently acts on the principle that
the thing for it to do is what Kelly does
not want it to do. Certainly the speech
of Grady, Kelly’s henchman, last even
ing helped Cleveland’s chances. This is
proved by Manning’s getting permission
for him to continue when he was pro
claimed out of order. Kelly, indeed,
never did a foolisher thing than to permit
a man of Grady’s character, who is known
to be Cleveland’s personal enemy, abuse
the reform Governor of New York before
a national convention.
I have again heard from a different
source that Conkling is to stump the
country for Blaine. All past differences
are said to be healed and the plumed
knight will have no more earnest advo
cate. Whether the gratitude of place ex
pectants, i. e., a lively sense of future fa
vors, animates the favorite son of New
York or not, I am ignorant.

Warwick Castle, England, J- ,ne
38.—Sir Walter Scott, in speaking of War -
wick Castle, said, “it is the finest monu
ment of ancient and chivalrous splendor
remaining in England.” The castle Is
occupied by Lord Warwick, as far as *ny
castles nowadays are occupied in Eng
land. I find the English nobility—like
Lord Warwick and the Duke of Devon
shire, who occupies Chatsworth Castle —
do not occupy these old castles the way
the nobility occupied them a hundred
rears ago. Time is making great changes
in England. The nobility are becoming
poorer and poorer. To be sure, they have
their lands, but these yield no revenue.
Two thousand acres of land west of War
wick are going begging now at $2 30 an
acre, and no takers. So, the owners
living in tbe great castles par
tition off a respectable flat in them,
in which they reside at a moderate
expense. The rest is thrown open as a
museum, yielding a revenue large enough
to pay the* wages of servants. In visiting
Warwick Castle it costs twenty-five cents
to pass the porter’s lodge, fifty cents to
the servant who shows you through the
rooms, and twenty-five ceut9 more to the
servant who takes you to the top of Ca
sar’s Tower. In all about sl. As there
are about fifty paying visitors a day, the
castle pays somebody at least S3O a day.
A snug revenue, surely! The porter over
at Chatsworth Castle told me he let in 1,9 w
visitors in one day. “But,” he added,
“they were bloody trippers off on a
holiday, and I didn’t make a
bloodv guinea.” The native English
man don’t pay very well, it seems. It is
Irom the American that the English por
ter, servant and guide reaps his rich har
vests. This continual feeing other people s
servants in England is one of the
nuisances of the nation. The other day I
was invited to dinner at a rich gentle
man’s house. When I came away the
servant handed mv coat and umbrella to
me,.and then stood’ as if expecting a fee.
He was so plain in his demand that I gave
him a crown (61 cents). He took it as
quick as lightning. When I told a friend
about it the next day, he said:
“Why, you ought to have given him a
half-sovereign ($2 50). That’s what we
give the servant alter a swell dinner.”
“Why,” said I, “I could have bought
the whole dinner for half that at Delmon
ico’s in America.”
The idea of being invited to a gentle
man’s hou.se to dinner, and then paying
for it afterwards in fees to the servants,
strikes me as very queer hospitality. No
more Invitations to dinner in England for
me! *
HOW THEY STEAL CASTLES IN ENGLAND.
Warwick Castle has come'down from
feudal times. Five times it has reverted
to or been confiscated by the Crown, and
been given as a bribe to stay the loyalty
of some powerful ally of the existing sov
ereign. The tamous Guy, who died at
Guy’s Cliffe in 929, was the first Earl of
Warwick. William the Conqueror kicked
out the descendants ol Guy, and gave the
castle to Henry de Newburg, who was
made Earl of Warwick. The castle was
held by the New burgs and the Beau
champs, which family they mar
ried into, for five hundred years.
The last descendant of the Beau
champs, Edward Plantaganet, was ac
cused of treason by Henry VII., who had
him beheaded in London Tower in 1499.
The castle remained without an owner
for forty-eight years. It was now given
by tbe King to John Dudley. Queen
Mary had Dudlev beheaded for treason in
1553.' The castle now reverted to the
Crown again. Cum well now had the
castle given to John Rich, whose grand
son married Cromwell’s daughter. The
Rich family died out, and the castle went
to the Crown again.
THE PRESENT LORD WARWICK.
The present Lord Warwick is not a
Warwick at all. He is a Greville. Fulke
Greville, a schoolmate ot Sir Philip Sid
ney, found the castle in ruins in 1554. It
was used as a common jail. Greville
bought up claims against the castle, and
finally got possession of the castle itself.
The Grevilles held Warwick Castie till
1853, when the present Earl, George Guy
Greville (Lord Warwick), came in pos
session of it. The present Lord Warwick
(so-called) has four sons and a daughter,
and as they are not stealing castles any
more in England, it will probably stay in
his family “till a revolution occurs, and
he or his descendants are beheaded.”
Nmeownersof Warwick Castle have al
ready had their heads cut off.
INSIDE THE CASTLE.
The castle walls are six feet thick. The
servant, who opens the door for two shil
lings, ushers us through a long hall full
of old iron armor into the great hall.
“That,” she says, pointing down the
hall, “is the famous mammot h painting of
Charles I on horseback, by A’andyke, and
this (picking up a long horn evidently the
tooth of a mammoth) is the horn of the_ fa
mous dun cow, slain by Guy, Earl of AYar
wick. Here is his punch-bowl, she says,
thumping a huge iron kettle. It holds 102
gallons. I saw it filled and emptied three
times when the present Earl came of age.
Out of the window there you see the river
Avon 30 feet below, and there is the old
mill where they ground wheat lor the cas
tle for 400 years. Look out, there, and
don’t slip, for the floor is waxed you see.”
So on we go, through great rooms filled
with more pictures and buhl furniture.
“This,” says the old woman, as we enter
the state bedroom, “is the bed which
Queen Anne (dttpVtTn, and which George
111. gave ,*T Lord Warwick. There’s a
jrtßtiSTcTTi Henry VIII. by A’andyke. land
scape by Salvator Rosa, the dead Christ
by Caracci, and
And so we went on for two hours. _ The
castle is cold and bamlike. There is no
wav of heating it or lighting it. Kerosene
is unknown in this part of England,
though they are using it in London. I
had to use a tallow candle in the War
wick Arms Hotel, and to light the castle
it would take a ton of such penny dips.
When I asked the attendant for two can
dles he looked amazed, and said:
“We and >n’t give candles, maaster, with
out ebargin ’hit hon the bill.”
They say an American found a piece of
rag in his soup at the hotel here the other
day, and, holding it up, called the wait
er’s attention to it.
**‘Wol, wot is it?” asked the waiter.
“A rag, sir—a common rag.”
“\ r el, vot if there is ? You kant hexpect
velvet to a country hotel.”
THE OLD MILL ON THE AVON.
From Warwick Castle we went over to
Guy’s Cliffe, and then down to the old
mill on the Avon, where they have bebn
grinding wheat and oats for COO years. I
crawled in under the first story where the
miller was at work filling bags with flour.
“AYheredid this wheat come from?” 1
asked, taking a handful out of the hopper.
“Hit his Hamerican wheet, maaster.”
“AA’hat do you pay for lt here, or at the
W arwick Station ?” I asked.
“I pays fourteen-sixpence for three
bushels,”(twenty-nine American shillings,
or a little less than one dollar and twenty
five cents a bushel).
“Do you prefer American wheat?” I
asked.
“Yes, zur. Hamerican wheat is strong
est. Hour Hinglish wheet flour would
run hall hover the hoven if we didn’t mix
Hamerican with hit.”
“Do they raise enough English wheat
around here to supply your mill ?”
“Ho.no! Not’alf enough. The farms
is all aruning to gross and ’ay n ow-days,
an’ ’av don’t pay the farmer. Why ’ay
ain’t worth but three pounds eight a ton
(seventeen dollars). They’ll all starve at
that.”
The miller told the truth, for four-filths
of England is in grass and hay to-day.
The cultivation of crops is being aban
doned. Grazing seems to be the entire
occupation of the farmer. When I think
that one hundred acres of cereals like
t eorn or wheat will support 600 people,
while one hundred acres devoted to sheep
and cattle will only support fifty people,
we can see where England will come out
if she keeps on as she is going.

woman shout for help ?”
“Yes, your Honor, positively.”
“This affair occurred some months ago.
Couldn’t it have been Saturday morning,
or Monday morning, instead of Sunday
morning?”
“Impossible, your Honor.”
“But why?” Insisted the Judge. “Man’s
memory is not infallible. Why are you
so positive that it was Sunday morning?”
“Because when I first heard the cry for
help I was out in the back ya-d digging
angleworms.”
