There are good reasons for thinking that the President doesn’t want to call an extra session of Congress, but the impression is growing at Washington that he is begin ning to entertain the opinion that public interests will require him to call one about Oct. 1. I .ending men of l>oth parties adiqjt that it is necessary that something shall be done soon to prevent the accumulation of an enormous surplus in the Treasury. The surplus is already large, and notwithstanding the fact that the debt was reduced $111,000,000 in March, it increased $2,000,000. By July 1 all the 3 per cents will have been paid, and as no more bonds will mature for several years it will accumulate very rapidly after that time unless the revenues are re duced. In an interview u day or two ago Senator Allison, who is a leading member of the Finance Committee of the Senate, said tliat the surplus after July 1 would accumulate at the rate of $10,000,000 or $12,000,000 a month, and that if Congress did not meet liefore December it would lx* at least SIOO,- 000,000 more than it is at present before a bill could be passed reducing the revenues. This would bring about a very great con traction in the currency, and could hardly fail to produce business disasters. This dan ger which threatens business interests is very well understood by the President, and may overcome his objection to calling Con gress together. There is a great deal to be gained by the meeting of Congress in October. It is be lieved that a bill could be perfected for re ducing the revenues by Jan. 1, and could be got through both houses by May 1 If Con gress does not meet until December the House will hardly get organized before Jan. 1, and there will be no probability of legis lation reducing the revenues before Aug. 1. Indeed, it will be difficult to get a bill through by that time, as the appropriation bilis will lx* in the way and the members will be so disturbed by the Presi dential campaign that they will be unfit to give careful attention to the prob lem. There are several ways suggested for re ducing tlie surplus, but there are only two that are likely to meet with the approval of the people. One is by reducing the reve nues other is by liberal appropria tions for public works. Both must be re sorted to, however, because the public would not consent to expenditures that would absorb the whole of the surplus. All things considered, an ext ra session may be considered as probable. The Quinn-Campbell Trouble. There was a lively row at the headquar ters of District Assembly 49, Knights of Labor, on Saturday between Master Work man James E. Quinn and Foreman Camp le]!, of Hunan & Sons’ slioe factory, in Centre street. New York city. Master Workman Quinn was largely responsible for the great strike of ’longshoremen in New York a few months ago. He appears to Ixs a man without conscience or judg- ment, and who is doing the Knights of La bor in New York more harm then good. The trouble between him and Foreman Campbell grew out of the refusal of the latter to permit the shoemakers under him to strike when it had been decided by the local assembly that they should do so. The reasons given by Campbell for his course are such as ought to be satisfactory to all reasonable men. He had made a con tract with his employers and they had lived up to both the letter and spirit of it. Nei ther lie nor the men under him liad any j complaint to make. He did not see. there fore, how lie could honorably order his men to strike. He had other reasons for not ordering a strike. One of them was that the men are poor and the majority have families depend ing upon them. Another was that he saw nothing to be gained by a strike and much to lose. He remembered what the result of the strike of the ’longshoremen had been, and he was not quite ready to set* the wives and children of the shoemakers of the shops of which he is foreman crying’for bread. Master Workman Quinn and a few other leaders have certain things which tliey wish to accomplish, and they appear to be deter mined to accomplish them without regard to the injury they may do to business inter ests or to the sufferings they may cause workingmen. They have an easy time living as they do off the earn ings of those whose interests they are sup posed to protect. The arbitrary course pursued by Quinn will, in all probability, result in alienating from the Knights of Labor a very large faction of shoemakers. Grand Master Powderly ought to get rid of him and men like him. They are dis organizes and mischief makers. ' Delayed Arrests. Some recent occurrences in this State, re lating to the arrest of criminals, have de veloped a curious state of ulfairs. It seems that in some communities the officers of the law cannot effect arrests without the in citement of the offer of a reward by the Governor. Some time ago the grand jury of Bibb county indicted five men for complicity in the lynching of Janies Moore at Macon last August, and warrants were issued for their arrest. Apparently the men could not be found. On April 14 the Governor offered a reward of $l5O each for their apprehension. Forty-eight hours after three of them were under arrest. The dispatches in the Morning News regarding these arrests stated that two of t he men were followed when they attempted to leave Macon, and that the third was captured while he was on his way from his home near Macon to his plaee of busi ness in that city. It scorns, also, that, the third man had never made an attempt to esca|x*. but, although he knew a reward had lx*en offered for him, quietly continued in the discharge of his dnily duties. (Why wa* the arrest of these men so long delayed ? It looks as if it were done in order that the Governor might lx> induced to offer tv ward* for thorn. To say the lean. it is strange that the officers of the law could uot find tlins* men who were within easy reach. Other cases like those at Macon might Is* cited. /While it may be true that in all of them tuo officer* liuve acted in good faith toward the State, yet there Is room for uti ploie.mil suspicion.

The Rahway Murder. The Rahway, N. J., mystery has in all probability been solved. The girl who was murdered there more than three weeks ago, and whose identity has so puzzled the pub lic, the detectives and the reporters, is be lieved to have been! one AnaChrixtine Larsen, a Danish girl. The evidence which supports this Ix'lief is quite* strong. It is known that Ana Christine Larsen came to this country in 18*1 with a young nmn who is known as Carl Woolf, and that they lived together in the neighborhood of Rahway for several years. The girl's reputation was not good, and the man Woolf was all'the time trying to get rid of her, but was not successful. On several occasions he threatened to poison her. Finally he ran away to Chicago and she, being in formed by his friends that he had returned to Denmark, returned there. Of course she did not find him, and she came back to this country, reaching New York on March 2. In the meantime Woolf had returned to Rahway and secured work there. The girl appears to have quickly discovered liis whereabouts. Two days before the murder Woolf demand's 1 his wages from his em ployer and disappeared. All efforts to find him have failed. The theory is that the girl went to Rahway and met him, and that he carried out his frequently expressed pur pose of murdering her, and fled. A gentle man in the neighborhood of Rahway, who knew both the girl and the man well, as they were both in his service for a long time, positively identifies the girl. The only thing that raises a doubt about the genuineness of tho identification is the lack of satisfactory evidence of Ana Christine Larsen's return from Denmark. The books at Castle Garden show that a woman who gave her name as Ana Larsen, and who described herself as married, ar rived there on March 2, and a Pole, at Perth Amboy, says that he met her on the street in New York city. There are some who insist that the girl is still in Copenhagen, and hat e written to her mother there for information. The chances are, however, that the mystery has been solved. An effort will now bo made probably to find the man Woolf. The case has become a celebrated one because of the efforts to identify the murdered girl. Against Treating'. Justice M. R. Freeman, of Macon, a gen tleman who is well known outside of the city of his residence, has organized a society which deserves success. It is not strictly a temperance society, but its tendency is in the direction of temperance. It is an anti treating society.) Intending it t > have growth outside of Macon, Justice Freeman has named it “Jcmison Division No. 1,” in honor, of the late Samuel H. Jemison, of Macon, who, before his death, earnestly ad vocated the formation of such an organiza tion. The plan upon which it is intended the society shall work is simple. Each member agrees that he will not drink with any jx*r son, or ask any person to drink with him, any spirituous or malt liquors, wine or cider in any public place or elsewhere, and he also agrees that he will not engage in any game of chance for liquor. The agreement is printed up m a card, aud after it is signed a duplicate of it is sent to the di v ision to which the member belongs. One of the greatest evils connected with Die use of intoxicants is the custom of treat ing. If it were not for it there would be much less drinking and fewer drunkards. The truth of this is shown by the experi ence of most drinking men. For every dol lar spent for liquor consumed by themselves they spend at least $2 in treating. On this subject a young man said, the other day: “A gentleman I know spent sls last night buying liquors for a -party of six, and yet what he drank himself could not have cost more than 75c.” A barkeeper who heard this statement said; “Three men came into my saloon. One of them offered a hundred dollar bill, out of which I was told to take pay for what the iiarty drank. I changed the bill, and in less than three hours I had s2(l of it in my money drawer. If it was not for treating the saloon business would not lx; a very profitable one.” Justice Freeman’s anti-treating society is an aid to the cause of temperance. If there ever was a time when a man could make a sot of himself and: continue to bo resjxK-ted it has passed. A necessary qualification for jiosition in society or in business is sobriety. Young men who object to prohibition, but who desire to have some safeguard in the ust* of intoxicants, cannot do a wiser tiling than to join Justice Freeman’s anti-treating society.'; ____ Mr. Jefferson Davis lias another contro vorsy on his hands. When the statue of Oen. Albert Sydney Johnston was unveiled nt New Orleans on April t>, Mr. Davis uttered some severe reflection: upon Oeu. Beauregard's course at the battle of Shiloh. The reflections naturally offended tfen. Beauregard, and he lias replied to them in a four-column article in the Picayune. He claims that he did the best ho could with men who were absolutely worn out by hunger and fatigue. Don. Beauregard's re ply is severe, and discloses the existence of u bitter enmity between himself and Mr. Davis. It. is exacted that tin* latter will make an immediate reply to Gea. Beaure gard's article. Mr. Howard Douglass having stated that the colored Knights of Pythias hail no con nection ith tlie white order of that name, E. A. Williams, who claims the title of‘‘.Su preme Vice Chancellor,” of the colored Knights, writes a letter to the Boston Ad vocate insisting that Douglass is mistaken. Williams claims that the secrets of the white order were sold to the colored knights. He maintains that the latter are growing rapidly, and that they menu to assert their “rights.” He also maintains that it doesn't make any difference how many denials Mr. Douglass utters, the colored knights are true Pythians and quite as “chivalrous” as the white knights.

MOST COURTEOUS THIEVES. Charming and Considerate Behavior of Train Robbers in Spain. From a Mddrid Correspondent.\ I spent a pleasant week in Madrid, ami I then went on to Seville. The express journey was not without its interesting features. We stopped now and again for fifteen minutes and half an hour. When we stopped everybody got out of the train and went into the buffet—pas sengers, guards, engine-drivers, porters and all. We all sat down together and at<- and drank to gether. and then we all smoked cigarettes to gether round the lire. When it was time to start, we got up, stretched ourselves, and leis urely strolled back to the train, the guards and the engine-driver and the stoker being generally the last to turn out. Our “ftvil guards,” of course, went with us, their moustaches fiercely twisted and their rifles loaded. We still want this sort of protection on long railway journeys over lonely plains in Spain, because the brigands are not quite done away with yet. The way in which the robbery is carried out is this: The brigands signal to the engine driver to stop, and he does so. l>eing gen erally “in" with the brigands. Then these gen tlemen, called in Spanish “Salteadores fit* cami nos?” or road jumpers, approach the carriage, raise their hats to the passengers, arid, in the most polite language, request them to give up their money and jewels. The “guardias civiles ’ are stopped from tiring at the robbers by the af frighted passengers, jis the rascals have pre viously explained that if they are fired at they will shoot at the passengers in return. The chief of the brigands usually addresses the passengersin these terms: “Ladies and gentlemen, please deliver up your money and valuables of every description. We do not wish to put you to the indignity of a search, but shall rely upon your honor. But as soon as you tell us \ou have given up every thing we shall search one passenger of each class. If upon either we find a single coin or a single valuable, we shall shoot one passenger in each compartment. Ladies and gentlemen, do not hurry yourselves. Our time is yours.’ 1 You can imagine that under these circum stances there is very little kept back. The ipas sengers beg and pray of each other to conceal nothing. As soon as a complete surrender has been made, the brigands raise their hats again and bid the passengers farewell in these words, “Vaya ustedes eon Dios”—May you go with God—and as the train moves off they add. with beautiful and simple piety, "and may wc all meet again some day in God's big parlor.” CAUGHT ON THE FLY. Laughable Denouement of an At tempted Elopement. From the New York Herald. Mrs. Delia Peck is a woman of family and lives in Taunton. She had a quarrel with her husband ou Wednesday and went to tell her troubles to her daughter, a 20-year-old miss who works for Simpkins, a tailor. Young Leander Simpkins, who is not yet of age, heard the tale of woe. He told Mrs. Peck he would elope with her and take her to Man chester, N. H., where she would he free from such troubles forevermore. They agreed to meet at Middlcboro station to-day. Mr. Peck took the train for Middleboro this morning. When he stepped out of the train one of th** first persons lie saw was young Simp kins coming across the platform with trunk checks in his hand. He also saw his w ife wait ing in the station. Stepping up behind the puiioiuer of his wife's affections lie touched him on the back, and as Simpkins turned he said, noticing the checks: “Going to Boston, are you?*’ Simpkins turned pale and almost fainted as he gasped and stared wildly around, saying, **Where’s she?” “She's all right. Give me those checks, young fellow.” Taking the checks Peck bolted for the waiting room. There a scene ensued. Mrs. Peck shrieked and howled and called her husband names, and he stood and took it like a lamb. When she had quieted down enough for him to get a word in he said: “Come. Delia, stop your foolin’ and coind home. You are not goiu' off with that boy. You are old enough to be his grandmother. Wouldn't you look pretty eloping with that young goslin ? Come home and behave your self. 1 don't care w hether you coin© back or not on my own account, but for the children's sake you have got to go back home with me.*’ She picked up her things and went. To Shakespeare’s Love. When my love swears that she is made of truth I do believe her though I know she lies. —Sonnet cxxviii.. j Oh, sweet, dead woman, who were you For whom my Shakespeare sighed In sonnets that would hold you true, Although you lied? In lips that burned upon your own, Could you not feel his breath Melodious with Juliet's moan, And Egypt's death? Perchance his dream within your arm Have Venus back to Greece, Or consecrated wanton charms To pure Luerece. £las! we may pot know your name, “Your station high or low, We hold the dead secure from blame, Yet this I know: Your passion sought some common clod For your embrace more meet— The heart that hymned a world you trod Beneath your feet. And still he held his poet's pen To the ideal t rut*— L* > h * create. 1 Imogen, And God made you. — E. J. ifrPhelim. The Britisher’s Traveling Manners. FY am the London Referee. English travelers are frightened from visiting many small Spanish towns by tales of had accommodation, vile cooking and uncivilized ways. My personal experience proves the con trary. In many places off the beaten track I was excellently housed and fed, and every Span iard with whom I came in contact put himself out of his way to make my path one of roses lint I didn't walk about rooms with my hat on; I didn't cross the high altar in churches without bowing my knee, and 1 didn't turn my nose U p at all the dishes and say "faugh " and J didn't call the servants and the proprietor and. f .'s be cause they didn't understand English. The English who come abroad do much to bring about the incivility with which they are some times treated. In tie time of Riehard Coeur de Icon money coined in (he eastern parts of Germany came into sorted request in England on account of its purity, and was called Easterling money, as ail the inhabitants of those parts were called Easterlings—from which came the term ster ling, as expressive of a standard purity. The historian Camden says that men wer- sent for from the Easterling country, in the reign of King John, to instruct the English iij coining money, and lie derives the word sterling directly from this circumstance. Edible “Daniel Websters." From the Albany Journal. “How do you like that ‘Daniel Webster’?" said Caterer John Keeler to one of tie- guests ui his restaurant on State street the other day. The guest was eating a lisli hall deliciously browned, with a silvery )>oiiehod egg onto;) of it. ‘Why do you call tnese ‘Daniel Websters'?" was the reply. "Why." said Mr. Keeler, "because Mr. Webster got them up. He was the first niau whoever prepared them and ) make them from his recipe, and, bv the way, 1 am having a copy made of Websters clam chowder recipe.the reg ular old New Englandclum chowder. 1 willußtoti ish you with that some day." As the converse tion progressed a gentleman with long hair and with a carpet-bag lietwcen his foot, who had bccueatlng aplat *• of oyster soup, turned around, caught .Mr. Keeler by the sieve and hiiiuired: "Say. mister, who got up them flail halls and eggs!" "Why. Daniel Webster," said Mr Keeler. "Daniel Webster," repeated the stranger, "where did lie keep his eatin' house':" The opisirtunity for a lec'ur** on American Ids tory suddenly <lev.*lo|ied itself to Mr Keeler, of which the rural visitor obtained full beuctlt fore of charge An Impromptu Evening Dress.

Three married sisters. One of them has a Jew for a husband, another a Protestant, and the third a Roman Catholic. They met by ap pointment at the residence of the latter in Madi son avenue. New York, on Easter Sunday night, The Jewess, presiding at the piano, sang the touching Methodist hymn, “shall We Know Each Other There?” It is discovered that extract of whale is quite as good as bee? extract and much more economical. A whale weighing 200 tons yields 5.000 pounds of extract, and one pound of ex tract makes 100 pints of soup. Thus one whale will furnish 500.000 people with dinners, and 100 whales will give all the people in the United States old enough to cat soup one comfortable meal apiece. The gold fields of South Africa are attracting a great deal of attention in England, and a large number of younger sons who would otherwise have entered “the church' ’ purely as a matter of business are rushing to this new Eldorado. The Shelia quarter ledge in the Transvaal was located last June. The town of Barberton near it has since sprung up and now has nearly 10,000 inhabitants. On the morning of Feb. 15 Herman Schutzler, of Chicago, saw a big brown dog worrying his ]x*t poodle, and he ran to drive it away. The dog bit him in tie* hand. On Saturday. April 2, Mr. Schutzler became very restless, on Sun day there were well developed symptoms of hydrophobia, and on Monday, after long periods ot barking, frothing at the mouth, and terrible screaming, he died. Brahmin youths are beset from their birth with tedious restrictions: the dignity of their race and their own dignity is a theme which never tires with their parents. Perhaps their only luxury is that of taking snuff, and in this even the law interferes and lays down a certain age when they may begin. To a bachelor this pleasure is prohibited: snuff-taking can only be gin with matrimony. Other people besides Mark Twain can make collections of the gems of juvenile composition. The following were gathered by a lady school teacher of Massachusetts. Hazardous- A female hazard. Femur—The largest, bone in the human body; it is situated in the ear. Spine—A collec tion of small bones, extending from the head to the feet. Ashheels—A Greek hero celebrated in antiquity. (Probably Achilles!) The late Charles Delunonico was very strict in his rules regarding the waiters. Once tin order was given by a liberal and frequent customer that infringed on one of the rules, and the waiter reported the matter to Mr. Dclmonico, who went himself to the customer and said: “This is against the rules, but I make the rules, and I can violate them while 1 cannot allow a waiter to do so,” and he attended personally to the or der. A Canadian farmer near Luther was awaken ed by persons prowling around his house. He and his sons arose ami fired shotguns at a man they saw. He ran and was joined by two men ina sleigh. One of the horses bitched to the sleigh cast a shot. 1 . The farmer picked it up. and by the aid of the blacksmith who made it iden tified the prowlers, who proved to lx? neighbors, and who paid a good sum to keep the thing quiet. Wood otl is made on a large scale in Sweden from the refuse of timber cuttings and forest clearings, and from stumps and roots; and, al though it cannot well lx* burned in common lamps on account of the heavy proportion of carbon it contains, it furnishes a satisfactory light in lamps made for it, and in its natural state is said to le the cheapest of illuminating oils. Thirty factories produce about 40,000 lit res of the oil daily; turpentine, creosote, acetic acid, charcoal, coal tar oils and other useful sub stances are also obtained from the same mate rials. Two curious pictures are now amusing the Germans. The first is “Where is the Peacemak er?*’ It shows the conventional figures of a Russian, an Englishman, a Frenchman and a Chinaman. When the picture is folded these four figures are merged into one—that of Prince Bismarck. The same result is attained in the second picture, representing Gen. Boulanger. M. Paul Btrouifde. Hen* Richter and Herr Wind thorst. Folded together they also exhibit the Imperial Chancellor. The Berliners ap]x*ar to have been greatly amused by these two pic tures. The infractions 4-year-old son of a substantial looking dame would not walk along by her side, but evinced an inclination to cry and sit down on the sidewalk on the corner of Fifth avenue and Twenty-third street. New York. A crowd, of course, gathered. A man looking for a pin on the sidewalk will attract around him a crowd the moment a second tx?rson stops. The ener getic mother referred to promptly dispersed the inquisitive crowd by spanking the rebellious youngster into submission, and he walked away sulkily by her side, while several of the on lookers actually cheered. A curious scene on one of the most crowded thoroughfares of the world! Count Andnassy, the Hungarian statesman, is noted as much for his cleverness at repartee as for his eccentricity. “I am very dull to-day,*’ he told one of hicolleagues who visited him at Buda-Pesth; “Count K. has been here and we have exchanged ideas. ” At the State Depart ment it was always his busy day when the foreign ambassadors called to hold long palavers. One day the British envoy took offense at what he chose to consider his discourtesy in refusing to see him when he was “dressing,” and at their next meeting drew his attention to the fact that he did not call at the State Department as Lord X., but as the representative of the Queen of Great Britain. “All the more.” was the Count's deprecating reply, “consider the impropriety of my receiving the rejpreKentativ** of tW Queen in my night-shirt.” The proposition did not ad mit oi argument. Murray’s English dictionary thus defines one of the best known of recent additions to the language; Boycott, v. (f. the name of Capt.

It was speedily adopted by the newspapers m nearly every European language e. er..

Capt. Boycott was not an Irish landlord, but an Englishman arid agent for Lord Fame. During the past year. 1880-87, lwenty-three vessels were added to the British navy of an ag gregate tonnage of 50,2(10, w hile the number to be completed in the coming year is given in the navy estimates as twenty-five, giving a total in two years of forty-eight ships, or an aggregate tonnage of 14.H10 tons.
