Tliat Bargain.
A correspondent of the Cincinnati
Enquirer writes to that paper con
cerning the alleged bargain between
Haye’s friends and certain Demo
crats. He claims that what was
done, as is learned from frequent
conversations with prominent Dem
ocrats implicated, was this: When
it bee une certain that Tildeti was
opposed to violence, and that the
Electoriid Commission was determin
ed ’o count in Hayes, the Southern
Democrats were divided in opinion
as to the advisability of filibustering.
Some of them before making up
their minds, decided to learn Hayes’
intentions toward the South. Pri
vate conversations with Foster and
other friends of Hayes led to a con
ference at Wormley’s between sonic
prominent Southern Democrats and
some of Hayes' friends, including
Sherman and Foster. There is little
doubt that at this Conference Hayes
friends, either by written or verbal
statements, Cunvincod the Demo
orals present of his attention, if in
augurated, to cnl bayonet rule at
the South. The result of that con
viction was the defeat of the til ’ous
ters. partially because of the decision
of the Southern Congressmen, not
to prolong the struggle which they
did not think would benefit their
section. The chances are that all
the facts in the case will de made
public.

How Mrs. Mackay Dined Gener**
al Grant in^Paris.
A Paradise of Flowtrs, Feath
ers, Gilt and Gutter.
All the Place de’ 1 Erode lit up by
the sheen of two enormous eagles,
outlined in gas jets, and by a bor
dering row of lesser tires tiiat mark
the garden fence of one of the great
houses that divide avenue from av
enue in the thoroughfares radiating
from the arch; the whole front of
the house more softly illumined by
light streaming through colored cur
tains; a crowd of idlers gazing up at
the windows from about nine p. m.
to four the next morning, and spec
ulating on the interpretation of “E
Pluribus TJnum” written in fire
across the breasts of ti e birds: car
riages driving up from all directions
with a company as numelons as the
crowds; policemen, badauds, gamins
de Paris, swearing coachmen, expos
tulating swells, pretty bundles of
silk and tulle which are understood
to be women —these m ght serve as
rough notes for a description of the
outside scene. And the significance
of it all is that Mrs. Mackay, of
San Francisco, has General Grant to
dine to night (Wednesday, the
20th). at her Paris residen e, and
that she has invited all “the world’’
to meet him after the meal.
Grant footmen in red and gold
and armed to the teeth with rapies
and halberbs opened my cab door or
brought down their ponderous weap
ons with a ring on the marble pave
ment to celebrate my ar ival. I
passed up a broad maible staircase,
aglow with the light from a hundred
burners, rappidly killing ten times
their number of real dowers and
plants with which the very ante
chambers were garnished. Then
came upon a man in blick. wearing
knee-breeches and a sword. I
thought at first that it was
the Sergeants-at Aims of the
Brithish House of Commons, but it
proved to be only the usher. In an
other moment I was bowing to a la
dy with dark hair and of very youth
ful appearances, Mrs. Mackey, and
to Miss Ilungerford, a frien 1 who is
staying with her. Mrs. Mackay
stood in the smaller dra win >" room ;
at the end of the larger one beyond
it were Gen. and Mrs. Grant, Mr.
and Mrs. Noyes, Miss Stev ns and
Miss Lincoln; and the hostess at one
end of tire suite and the eh el guests
at the other strolled some two or
three hundred of the “bes people’
of Paris I don’t know ho vto ele
scibe that. Taken in oi.e of its
characteristics, the abirn !a me of its
jewels, it may be said to ouve re
minded one with an alien* lion, of
old Bluchers cry at the wght of
London." “Mein Gott . what a com
pany for to pillage!
I had long wished to g> over
this house, moved, I will ve -ture .o
say, by no vulgar curiosi y, but
simply to see how in the capital of
civilization you could h tve tie best
shelter from the elements th it. mon

nearly all thrown open, so here was
mv opportunity. Given b undless
wealth, Paris, and carte bla iche to
her most tasteful workmen, what
would they produce in the way of
a lowly cot suited to the accommoda
tion of people with an income of
&500,000 a month? I proceed to
glance at the great drawing room,
fts roof supported by marble pillars,
its walls and ceiling in w hite and
gold, and its inlaid floor, almost a
greater marvel of art workmanship
than either its ceiling or walls.
Then I turn into a boudoir, tapes
tried in crimson silk, but with little
of its permanent decorations to be
seen, because to-night well nigh e\**
erv available nook of space is occu
pied by huge fancy baskets of flow
ers —some of them veritable parterres
wliicli send their perfume into the
room beyond. The flowers are not
costly enough, for I dare say they
are not to be reconed at more than
one dollar a bud; so studied ttopieal
birds —at I don,t know how much a
feather, they would tell yon in the

Beyond this is still smaller room,
not much too large to form a nest
for one of the birds, and I am sorry
to say I don't quite know how tins
is decked out. I have a confused
perception of orange satin and gold,
but 1 will not b. ok myself to a state
ment lest someone should prove it
was straw-color and put me to shame.
The dining room—l wish I had nev
undertaken this task—is about as
rich in oak carving to the square
foot as a cathedral stall. That
must do for the dining room, espec
ially as its table and sideboard arc
nearly invisible just now under
heaps of light refreshmenst for the
dancers. We will pass into the
smoking room. lam sure you will
make allowance for the motive—the
stimulants .ire there. “But which
smoking room, sir?” asks one of the
bellicose lacqueys with sword on
thigh; “the Pompey of the Diwan?’’
lie means to say. “The Pompeiian
or the one in the Turkish style?’’
but, as he evidently hails from cock
neydom, all save the intention is a
fraud. “The Turkish; we are go

“Hup stairs, and turn to the left.’’
Ah, here we are! The sofa tricked

The carpet is a bed for softness and

shells from the Pacific coast, and
each * of the larger shells exhibits
the failure of an oyster to make a

second-class pearl, for a sort of con
solation prize.
There are more drawing-rooms to
be noticed—four, I think; I have on
ly done two and there are some five
oi six m all. The end of my at
tempt to deserbe Mrs. Maekay’s
house must simply be as you have
foreseen, to_say that it can not be
described.
The fiddles kept it up valiently all
the better part of the night, and the
dancers were not to be •beaten.
When I left, at about 2:30, they
were about midway m the cotillion,
with a chain of servants handing
forward a number of the costliest
emblems for that dance, irfter the
fashion of Frenchmen helping to
put out a fire. 1 hear there was a
supper at four, but I give it to you
as a mere rumor, which you will be
pleased to verify from the official

HELL,
THE CHURCH GETTING THINGS LIT
TLE MIXED.
(New York Sun,]
Is a bug-bear and is the devil a
scarecrow ? It is startling to find so
many preachers now trying t) lead
people to believe that they are so—
preachers who have always been con
sidered sound in their Protestan
tism and solid in their orthodoxy.
Few people will pay much lieed to
Beecher’s hocuspocus about hell lust
Sunday, though some of his rustic
hearers were doubtless amazed at
the way he fell foul of it. But we
find that Dr. Burton, and
the Rev. Dr. Blau volt, bind the Rev.
Mr. Mernarn, who were but lately
among the pillars of orthodoxy, have
turned against the ancient creed of
damnation; those two great Jights of
Congregational theology, the Rev.
Dr. Porter, President of Yale Col
lege, and the Rev. Dr. Hopkins, ex-
President of Williams College, have
just given it to be understood that
they do not consider hell an essential
feature of their faith, for they have
just sustained the installation of the
Rev. Mr. Murger, who is heterodox
on the subject; the investigations re**
cently made by a religious p iper
show that the notions heretofore con
sidered heretical respecting eternal
torment are tolerated among the
clergy of the Congregational denom
ination; while over in London, that
distinguished Episcopal divine, Can
on Farrar, has just preached a coup
le of extraordinary sermons in \\ esi*-
minster Abby, taking the ground
that even the words hell and dim na
tion should be stricken iroui the
Scriptures.
It is highly important, not only *o
church members and the religious
public, but to all Christendom and
heathendom, that the clergy of the
churches of these times should cleai. iy
annouce tlio position they propose to
maintain in respect to the article of
faith that has thus become an article
of assault or of doubt* The ques
tion is a tremendous one. It is re
lated to the mind and the life and
the welfare of the human race. By
the common consent of orthodox
theologians, it has been held that
ihe doctrine reaches to the very
foundations of religion, aiul that
without it t’:e Christian church
must totter to ruin.
The fact that so many learned di
vines have begun to throw doubt up
on the doctrine is sure to lead mul
titudes of people hastily to discard it
altogether. There are not a few
meif and women who are anxious to
find reasons for discarding hell, and
who like to find them. The pros
pect of damnation for the wicked and
unrighteous is an alarming one, and
they elutch at any straw that gives
them a prospect ‘or promises them
an assurance of escape from it.
In this yiew of the case, and un
der existing circumstances, is. it not
the imperative and immediate duty
of the clergy of the orthodox Protes
tant denomination of this citv to
take up the doctrine in question
and deliver their views upon t with
an the* energy and reason that tliev
possess ? They are not relieved
from this duty by the fact that some
of them have discarded that part of
t he ancK nt creed in which it appears.
It is proper ihat tlnse who have dis
carded it should boldly announce
that they have done so; it is prop
er that those who doubt it should
give the ground of their doubts; and
it io proper that those who still ad**
here to it should enforce it upon
their audiences. Next Sunday
would be a good day for them to
take it up. We call upon those df
them who consider the doctrine to
be one of supreme importance in the
Ghnslain system to meet the attaks
upon it at once. *

Does it sound extravagant and ex
cessive to say that woman was-born
in a shop and man around the cur
ia r? The idea to be conveyed is
that women take to shopping as
knowingly as robbins do to cherries.
They perch before counters that are
loaded with costly fruit and peck and
pick. Anon, they have flown across
the street into another clierrv tree.
At this season that beautiful bird
of Paradise, woman, in full feather,
is constantly on the wing; near and

she seeks her nest at night fall In r i

of what is to follow her when the six
o'cloo kde 1 i very 4 wagon srum b 1 e _fro in

drop all bird nature, and consider
our wives and sisters more human**
As the season of gift approaches,
men, as a general thing, are out of
place, unless behind the counters of
shops and bazaars. It is woman’s
mission to shop, and her delight and
pride. It pleases her to buy for
hours at a time, and pay with mon
from'tlie pockets of a . sterner sex.
In America this is so the order of
things, and it would be so confusing
and unpleasant to upset it that it
has past into history as a fact.
Woman has the best trained eye
for the beautiful and. the finished in
this world, and she has the nicest,
conception of color thus far met with
A woman’s taste can never bo other
than perfect. If we leave it; to her
to make a choice out of a thousand,
she will pick out the one good and
beautiful thing. All we, as men,
have to do is to pay for it. This
sounds unfair, but it only goes to
show how incomplete "wc are.
If we had not been born rude and
colorblind, we might do our own
buying as well as paying.
it requires a fine nature to shop
at Christmas time. It calls for the
nicest preception, the keenest eyes,
and quick, sensitive mind. Just
here is where woman excels. Her
heart is ev<T telling a lovely story of
sympathy, affection and love. ‘ All
her Christmas purchases are stamped
with one of the three. How it
comes to light after many days, her
sympathy in selecting a warm, sub
dued stripe for our) half hose! No
man cares, in these dark days, to
look etherial about the ankles. He
needs something close-knit and som
bre. hdie selects the exact style and
the least-flaming stripe. But this is
mere mention. We have not space
for a fair tribute.
There is one thought on this sub
ject. A man is very apt to stand
at cost. “How much is this thing
woith?” lie is always asking. A
woman never stands on cost. She
sits down and selects with a wonder
derful nicety—then orders ler pur
chases sent and the bill with them
All men pay such bills, and admire
such women, it seems odd that it
should be so, but it has been so for
s* long that it is an established cus
tom in this country. A husband
does not contract with a wife ti pay
for all she buys of worldly goods,
i’ut a wife goes out in the morning,
and from Canal street she works her
way up to Forty-second street by o
o’clock in the afternoon. Hie has
lunched twice on the route off ten
der bits and sweets; she has entered
every shop along two or three miles
of Broadway, and she has been alert
in purchasing. Now, when the bills
are handed in, each husband calls a
pretty, petted wife, and says: “Are
these tilings, all these things really
so?” And being assured, he draws
checks against such means as he has
left, and receips are given. Then
Christmas conies with great rejoic
ing-
A man whoi3 always asking \\ hat
this thing is worth? what do you ask
for it in hard cash? is also very like
ly to always ask: “Is there any
common sense in it? This latter
question he asks solo voce. If he
buys he must pay; as likely as not
he “stands" on the cost, and refuses
to purchase. With a woman it is
different; if a thing has notan ap
pearance of high sense, she is likely
to buy. knowing that she need not
pay. This is very natural. And she
says to herself, they all have them
Any thing that is “very pretty,”
very pleasing to the eye, finds its
wav to a woman’s heart, and thence
to her fingers. Anything “exquis
ite” irresistable. Just here sue can
not stand on cost.

CANCER CAN BE CURED
Cancer has from time immemorial been
a great scourge to the human race, aud is
now becoming the greater. For many
years it has been held by the medical pro
fession, and generolly Is lievtd by the peo
ple, that Cancer is incurable ; that once
its roots take hold upon a victim, there is
iiv) chance for a sufferer to escajH 1 a lin
gering terrible horrible disease, not only
to the sufferer, but to bis friends. Hap
pily, this fell destroyer m( it no longer
be feared. Dr. 11. T. Bond, of Phila
delphia, a well known physician, of large
experience, has for years devoted himself
to the special study an 1 treat mi nt of Can
cer, and tho result of his experience is his
discovery for the radical cure of Cancer
without the use of either knife caustic or
plasters, and without puiu.
Tin majority of persona arc greatly de
ceived in regard to the first symptoms and
ap|H aranee of this most dreaded disease,
considering its painful from the commence
ment. 1 his is :i sad mistake, carrying
thousands to an untimely grave. In most
cases there is little or no pain until the
disease is far advanced. The only svm| -
toms for many months, and even for years
are occasionally a stinging, darting, stnb-
Uing, shooting, smarting, itching, burning
crawling or creeping sensation, and in
some cast's not any of these. If a malady
is growing worse instead of tatter, it is
conclusive evidence it is of a malignant
character and demands immediate atten
tion. If you have a branny, scaly, warty
appearance, with an occasional breaking
out of these upon the face, lip or nose, or
any other portion of the skin, attended
with any of the above symptoms, ora sen
sation of a tly being on it, or a hair tick
ling, it, is certain evidence it is Cancer,
ami there should be no delay in using Lr.
Bond’s treatment. Life is 'too valuable
to be tampered with.
Dr. Bond’s treatment consists of an
“Antidote” that is applied locally ; this
at once arrests the growth of the Cancer
and by chemical action neutralizes its maD
ignity, rendering it harmless and chang
ing it to a simple sore, which nature, as
sisted by constitutional remedies, soon
heals when the skin is unbroken, and the
Cancer is a hard tumor, the Antidote doc*
not make an open sore, but removes it by
absorption). In connection with the An
tidote is used the Specific, taken internal
ly. This tones up the general health,
strengthens the patient, purifies the blood
and eliminates the poison from the sys
tem. Dr. Bond s Antidote cemtaius nei
ther caustic nor poison, and can be ap
plied to the most delicate tissues of the
body without injury and therefore is the
only remedy that can be used in internal
Cancer, such as cancer of the stomach,
cancer of the womb, etc. Dr. Bond's
