Interview in the New York World. “Senator, suppose you were called upon to permit the use of your name as a candidate before the next National Convention, what should you say?’’ “What I said when the question was put to me previous to the last conven tion, I said then to my friends ; ‘It is all important to carry New York in this campaign. It you believe I can carry the State of New York more cer tainly than any other who may be named, you. may use my name of course, but it is your duty to go for the man who is in your judgment strong est in that State; that,’ added the Sen ator, ‘is my position to-day. The con vention in 1876 chose Mr. Tilden, and Mr. Tilden, despite all the prejudices agaiust him, did carry the State of New York and was elected President of the United States. At the next convention, if my friends should think that with me they are more likely to achieve success than with any other man, I ought not to refuse and will not refuse to be a candidate. I have never Bought office and never shall; neither have I affected to decline office. I have never spent any money to obtain office. I never shall. I think I may say witbout vanity that I have the confidence of my own people, Republicans as well as Democrats. I know that men of my own party from whom I have differed in views have given roe credit for act ing according to my honest conviction of what was right, with no bias in fa vor of any section. I have tried to take the broad ground that the good of the whole country, must be studied and not the interest of any particular locality,’ ”. Net long ago a well-known collector of curiosities in PariB, who bad devoted considerable sums of money to the gath ering together of bank notes of all coun tries and all values, became the posses sor of a Bank of England five-pound note, to which an unusually strange story was attached. This note was paid into a Liverpool merchant’s office in the ordinary way of business sixty-one years ago, and its recipient, the cashier of the firm, while holding it up to the light to test its genuineness, noticed some faint red marks upon it, which, on closer examination^ proved to be semi- effaced words, scrawled in blood be tween the printed lines and upon the blank margin of- the note. Extraordi nary pains were taken to decipher these partly obliterated characters, and event ually the following sentence was made out: “If this note should fall into the hands of John Dean, of Longbill, near Carlisle, he will learn hereby that bis brother is languishing a prisoner in Al geria.” Mr, Dean was promptly com municated with by the holder of the note, and he appealed _ to the govern ment of the day for Assistance in his en deavor to obtain his brother’s release from cap ivity. The prisoner, who, as it subsequently appeared, had traced the above sentence upon the note with a splinter of wood dipped in his own blood, had been a slave to the Dey of Algiers for eleven years, when his strange missive first attracted attention in a Liverpool counting house, _ His family and friends had long believed him dead. Eventually his brother, wi.h the aid of the British authorities in the Mediterranean, succeeded in ran soming him from the Dey, and brought him home to England, where he did not long survive his release, his constitution having been irreparably injured by ex posure, privations and forced labor in the Dey’s galleys. Lotteries are said to have been first employed by the Genoese Government as a means of aiding its revenue. The pernicioUB example was speedily follow ed by other States, nearly all of whioh have adopted lotteries, at some time or other, to increase their income. While they have achieved this eud, they have not only robbed the working communi ty of their hard earnings, they have lessened their habit of labor and thrift, by creating false hopes of sudden and handsome gains. Between 1816 and 1828, France derived from lotteries an nnuual income of 14,000,000 francs; but forty-three ago they were suppressed, and the year following a large increase of deposits was found in the savings banks of the country. The Paris Temps gives some particu lars ot the ravages of cholera in Japan The epidemic appeared last April in the disiriot of Ehime, where the tnmbs ot soldiers who fell victims to it 18/7 had been opened, partly for religious rites and partly for the more becoming in terment of men hastily buried during the war. In a week 45 out of 6o cases proved fatal. It extended to other points, and at Osaka it is not uncommon to see persons fall down in the streets, struck by it. _ An Arizona Judge has just shown his appreciation of modem improvements in firearms by shooting and killing an editor. The editor’s partner immedi ately shot the magistrate and was him self waylaid and extinguished the same night by some parties unknown. 1 he total bag for the day’s sport was a Judge and two editor’s. Altogether it was a great day for Arizona. The prepration of the new Bible, which is to be inspired by sweet reason ableness, has not made much advance yet. We lay before our readers the im- Genesis 76 * 8 * 011 ° f th ® first chtt P ter ° f 1. There never was a beginning. j.Aud Cosmos was homogeneous and undifferentiated, and somehow or another evolution began and molecules appeared, 3. And molecule evolved protoplasm, and rhythmic tbrilL arose, and then there was light. 4. And a Bpirit of envy was developed and formed the plastic cell whenoe arose the primordial germ. 5. And the primordial germ became protogene, and protogene Bomehow shaped eozoon, then was the dawn of life. 6. And the herb yielding seed and the fruit tree yielding fruit after its own kind, whose seed is in itself, developed according to its own fancy. 7. The cuttle after his kind, the beast of the earth after uIb kind, and every creeping thing became evolved be het erogeneous segregation and concomitant dissipation of mation. 8. So that by survival of the fittest tiiere evolved the nimiads from thejel- ly fish, and the simiads differentiated themselves into the authropomorphic promordial types. 9. And in due time one lost bis tail and bename man, and behold he was the most cunning of nil animals. 10. And in process of time, by natural selection and survival of tfyp fittest, Matthew Arnold, Herbert Spen cer, and Charles Drawin appeard, and behold it was very good—London Free man. That Russia expects to fight before long some great maritime power is indi cated by various facts, the significance of which is not to be concealed. She has asked for specifications for swift steamers from all parta of the world where such vessels are built, and pro viding herself with every attainable fa cility for harassing oommerce and en abling her ships that are to bn used for such a purpose to escape heavy cruisers. The Russian Admiralty has also lately caused to be published a book called the “Cruises ot the 8umter and Ala bama,” which of course show the im mense mischief that single fast steam ships can do when ably and nudacioosly bandied. The volume has been dis tributed freely among the officers of the Russian navy, and it is plain that they are expected to profit by the exploits it sets forth when a fit occasion arises. As Russia is, and from the situation is sure to continue to be friendly to France, and as Germany bas no merchant ma rine of any considerable dimensions, the Russian preparations are obviously intended for the benefit of England, and are so interpreted by the European press. The struggle may be a long time in coming, but it is pretty certain to come at last. l'he reasons given for the failuro of Republican speakers to go to Louisiana and stump the State are just a little re markable, and show the kind of patriot ism that this country often has to rely upon. A prominent member of the Republican Congressional committee is reported as saying that he had been told by Republican leaders at Washington “that they feared the State might go Republican if Northern speakers were sent down there, and then the South would no longer be solid.” They are of the opinion that if the solid South is broken it will injure their party in the North. They also argue that if Republican speakers went South they would be well treated; none of them could expect to be-made the victims of the shot-gun, aud this would spoil the bloody shirt as an issue. If a solid South is really essential to frighten the North into electing a Republican Presi dent next year, perhaps Blaine and Lo gan and the others had better go to Louisiana and urge the election of the Democratic ticket. Reconciliation doesn’t seem to be what is wanted. The London World states that Bis marck was so indignant at the publica tion of an interview between himself and W. D. Kelley, of Pennsylvania, on the silver queution, that he has. refund to see or talk with any American on the subject. The Kelley interview is not repudiated, but it is claimed that Bismarck regarded it as a confidential exohange of opinions, and he will here after avoid giving anybody a chance to interview him. The London World savs that on this account Bis marck declined to see Walker, the Spe cial Agent of the State Department, who has been in Europe endeavoring to arrange for another International Mone tary Congress. The late Senator Chandler, says the Cleveland Piaindealer, told a friend in Washington, last winter, that the “elec tion’’ of Hayes cost him $37,000. Speaking of the alleged pecuniary mean ness of Hayes, Chandler said, previous to Hayes’ flop to the stalwart side: *1 am told that he only spends 86,000 a year and saves 844,000 out of his salary. When you go back to Washington you tell Hayes I will fix it so that he can save his entire salary. He will receive $150,000 more salary if he lives out his term. I will give him a check for that amount, payable when he will write his resignation on the hack of it.
