There is still sorrow dead, but hope has taken the place and the jieople are engaged in a SM and earnest el' 1 to muk ■ the South section in the Union. Democratic party is not likely to be HHpn'ussed by the story that President Cleveland will not bi a candidate for a second term. It will *ut bo in order to look for another candidate mitil the Presi dent liimself says that the story is true. The unveiling of the statue of John C Calhoun at Charleston to-day is nil event that will attract very general attention. Tho ceremonies will be worthy of the occa sion, and the oration of Secretary Lamar will doubtless be one of that distinguished Orator’s greatest efforts. 'William A. Eddjq wbo is the author of some interesting articles on tornadoes, and who for years has been the tornado re porter for the United States Signal Service office at Washington, has just married a New York lady. It is to be hoped that he will encounter no domestic tornadoes. Arbor day was first instituted in this country fifteen years ago. Ex-Gov. J. Sterling Morton, of Nebraska, was its origi nator. On the first Arbor day- ill that State 12,000.000 trees were pluuted. It ought to fee the rule wherever the day is observed to plant a tree hi honor of the ex-Govemor Bdinboro, Pa., boasts a paper called tbe Slave 7 rail. Its aim is “to be useful in tbe direction of affording check to retrogressive features in our national life l>y arousing, unifying, and concentrating spirit on the op position, and to gain time (which would bring help in various v.-nys) for the work of a radical readjustment of society upon a more equitable basis. Mud could not be clearer. The trial of James Cavauagh for the murder of Patrick Hayden in Jersey City on Thanksgiving day last has resulted in a sensational occurrence. Just before tbe Judge began his charge to the jury, it was discovered that the foreman was insane. lie liad been sick several days, and was finally seized with such severe pains tlrnt he ls>- came a raving maniac. The trial was stopped to give him time to recover. Dr. McGlynn, Henry George, and a num ber of their followers have formed an anti poverty society. They do not propose to make a royal road to wealth, but simply to loach Hurt “God Ims made ample provision for the need* of all men during thuir resi dence upon earth, and that poverty is the result of the human laws which allow indi viduals to chum as private property what the Creator lias provided for the use of all.'’ The members of the New York Ntate W omnn's KufTrnge Association are at outs | with each other. At their meeting u few (lays aim,"opposition was drvelojMsi to the r-eh—tion of Mr*.

It turns out that the Washington corre- Sjionacnt of tho Missouri Republican, who s< nt to his ] taper the statement that the President had announced tlrnt ho would not accept a renomination if it were offered to him, did not have a very solid foundation for his dispatch. The Senator to whom ho referred as having had tho remarkable conversation in question with the I’resi dent is Mr. Vest, of Missouri. Mr. Vest did have a talk with the Presi dent, about appointments, and the question of a renomination was spoken of during the conversation. The Senator says, however, that the President did not tell him that ho would not accept a renoratnation, and that he is not responsible for the publication in the riewspa])CTh which puts the President in the position of saying that he doesn’t want a second term and will not be a candidate for the Presidency again. Mr. Vest lielieves, however, from what he heard the President say that ho is not anxious for n second terai, and tiiat he will make no effort for a renomination. There is good reason for thinking that this is the President's true position. He is trying to give the country a clean,safe, economical ad ministration, and the people believe ho is succeeding. He is not making appointments with any other aim than that of having the laws administered honestly and faithfully, and he will be satisfied if lie is permitted to return to private life at the end of liis pres ent term. It is not probable, however, that lie will refuse a renomination. He will not lie re nominated unless it is believed that his pros pects of being elected are more promising than those of any other Democrat, and he would not be at liberty to refuse to be a candidate under such circumstances. It is noticeable that the little opposition to him that has shown itself from time to time is gradually disappearing. This is be cause the dissatisfied politicians are begin ning to find out that the people regard him with favor. Trained Men In Railroading. The New York Sun, in an interesting ar ticle entitled, “The Science and Art of Railroading,” presents some important facts to show the advantage of having railroads managed by trained and practical men. While men are trained for the professions, and for about all the manufacturing indus tries, very little attention is paid to training them in railroading. The .S'u u calls attention to men who man age some of the leading railroads of the country, and argues that those who have re ceived practical instruction in their business make by far the most successful and satis factory officials. Their roads are always in first-class order and are, therefore, always in condition to respond promptly to any un usual amount of business. Thera is less danger of accidents upon such roads, and a lietter return is generally obtained from the money invested in them. <?f course there are roads managed by men who were trained ns lawyers, merchants, etc., which are successful, but the number is not large. The Sun refers to the change in the man agement of the Georgia Central and says: “The recent election of Gen. K. I’ortor Alexander, a distinguished graduate of West Point, and for many years a close student of scientific railroading, as Presi dent, of the Georgia Central, and his selection of Mr. M. S. Belknap, a graduate of VEcole PolytechniifU* of Paris, as General Manager, may be considered as the most conspicuous effort of the day to sedura in the South a management comtnning the highest tech nical education with the practical knowledge gained by long experience. The result can scarcely be doubtful, although it is certain that many railroads are fiuaneinlly success ful without such management, while not a few have failed with it.” (There is no doubt that tho percentage of men trained for their railroad work is greater now thmi ever liefore, and there is good reason for thinking that it will in crease. Experience shows that, as a rule, men are valuable to great railroad corpora tious in proportion to thopreparatory train ing they have had in the line of their work. Nova Scotia and Annexation. The people of Nova Scotia appear to think that there would be no trouble in uniting their fortunes with this country, provided they could sever their relations to the Do minion and Great Britain. The resolution introduced into the provincial assembly a few days ago, providing for an inquiry into the financial and political condition of the province, with the view' of repealing the Union and asking permission of this govern ment to become one of the United States, shows that they are becoming prepared fop a political change of some sort/ Tiiey arc dissatisfied now, and have been for a long time, with the government at Ottawa. They do not think they are given the consideration they ameutitled to. They are quite heavily taxed and are an impor tant part of the Union, and yet their influ euce in the government amounts to very little. Their interests are overlooked. Neither Nova Scotia nor any other part of the Dominion bus ever received from this country any encouragement of the annexa tion idea. Annexation has been discussed it; Canada and in tins country, but there lias bt- 1 developed in this country no marked sentiment in favor of acquiring territory to the north of us. The fact is, the United States have ail the territory they want nt present, n:id don’t care about acquiring more. Nothing would be gained by this country in acquiring Canada. Tim people of Cauaila would, of course, guin something by annexation. If Cimada were to become n part of this country Canadian manufactories and industries of all sort-, would bo twice iv, prosjierouH us they arc now The people would be much more con tented. That they are dissatisfied is shown by the fnct that many thousands of tic in emigrate to this country every year. There may be a time when Canada and the llnit.-d Slates will come together. Thcv differ very little now in tlieir Jaws nod - usUmis, uud the difference is gradually growing less marked If l Icy are ever under one flag it will be largely due to the effort* of tic poopla of 1.l .• Dominion. It need not Is- ex [voted that this country vvili take the ilrst step in tliut direction. Doubli-tss NovaH-otiu w.ll talk for visit's without doing anything po*i lively in the innfUo of nniu-vatinn.

Sehnael>eles by the German police will be the cause of war between Germany and France. There will In’ a great ‘leal of diplomatic cor respondence about the matter, but the end of all of it will be that M. Schnacbeles will be punished if lie was rightly arrested and released if his arrest was without the war rant of law. When the little collector of customs at Pagny-Sur Marne was first arrested there was an itmm.-n.so amount of excitement in France, and the French press began to talk war at once. The French people were told that the arrest had been ordered by Bis marck for the purpose of bringing about a conflict between the two nations, and the money market responded at once to the in fluence of tile war feeling. The first reports did indeed look as if the German police had been hasty, and had done something for which France would have the right to demand an a(>ology, but subse quent reports put an entirely different face upon the matter. The story from German sources is that M. Schnacbeles had been in the habit of crossing over the frontier, not in the way of business, but as the agent of the Patriotic Longue, whose avowed object is the restoration of Alsace-Lorraine to France. He had been susjxx'ted for some time by the German authorities, and at last, when suffi cient evidence of his treasonable designs liad been obtained, his arrest had been or dered. This latter version of the affair had a very quieting effect in Paris. It was seen at once that the situation was not at all seri ous, and that the arrest had not been or dered without cause, or tor the purpose of bringing about a war. Indeed, when the French people came to think about it, they saw at once that Bismarck would hardly think of inaugurating a great war many such childish way. For the present, therefore, both France and Germany may dismiss their fears of war. It is probable that their diplomatists will luivc a war of words re specting the fate of M. Schnacbeles, but that sort of war will be amusing rather than terrifying. A Mistrial. Tile Fogarty trial ended in a disagreement of the jury. This result was not a surprise. When an agreement was not reached within a few hours after the jury retires! a mistrial was expected. When the trial began few, if any, thought there would be a disagree ment, and when the ease was given to the jury every fair-minded man must have ex pected a verdict quickly. There is no fault to be found with the So licitor General. The case for the State was ably and clearly presented, and there is no fault to be found with file Judge. The scales of justice were held evenly and the law was stabs 1 plainly. Is there any fault to be found with the jury? That is a question which every citizen must answer for him self. It is a question that concerns the whole community and is well worth thinking about. We don’t want to comment on the ease, because the defendant is soon to be tried again, and we wish him to have a fair trial, but the thought cannot be avoided that it is remarkable that a disa greement among the jury was possible when there was apparently but one opinion enter tained by the public. Those who think of this case seriously will wonder whether there isn't something wrong with the moral tone of the com munity. And let them think of some other things. One of them is this: Is it right for influential citizens to shirk jury duty? Another is this: Do all of those who claim to be good citizens do all they can to make crime odious? The case of Julio R. Santos promises soon to come to the front again to bother the Htate Department. The case is one with which the whole country is familiar since it has been very generally published and com mented upon. The Washington correspon dent of the New York Times reviews it, and gives some of its most important jioints. Santos is a native of Ecuador, but has been a citizen of this coun try for a long time. His father died in Ecuador a few years ago. and he went there to settle up the estate. He was arrested on some trumped-up charge and thrown into a filthy dungeon. He asked the protection of the United States. Secretary Bayard made several demands for his release, but they were laughed at by the President of Ecua dor. Secretary Bayard then called on Secre tary Whitney for aid, and several vessels of the Pacific squadron were dispatched to Ecuador with instructions to release Santos. The President of Ecuador turned his prisoner over to the United States naval officers. Mr. Santos came to this country mid had an interview with Secretary Bayard. He intimated that he would put in a claim for about SIOO,OOO indemnity The case was placed in the hands of local attorneys and Santos return ed to Ecuador to gather testimony. Last week his attorneys tiled a long argument with Secretary Bayard, in which the claim for indemnity was placed at (AM. The Secretary’s approval of a request that tiie matter lie submitted to arbitration will probably lie obtained, for iie Is of the opinion that Santos is entitled to some in demnity, but not so much as he claims. The attorneys say that they will not Lie satisfied with Secretary Bayard's consent to arbitra tion, but, to make tho action of the govern ment more binding, will also endeavor to secure the approval of the S mate.

Chickens Break Up a Meeting of the Salvation Army. From the New York Star. There is a detachment of the Salvation Army encamped at Mount Kisco. They go about in files in and out of town making war on the devi! and charging on the wicked. On Thurs day night a squad of these warriors swooped down or Pleasantvilie, and occupied the hall there as a base of operations. There were five of them, rang and tile—three men ami two women, and their conduct, it is said, was not of the best. During the racket which they kicked up, some mischievous young, man lowered two chickens down through a trap door from the loft. The chickens were tied with strings about their legs. .They were intercepted by a wicked and irreverent young man who cut ‘the string and set them loose. Each chicken had a griev ance and he proceeded to adjust if at once. When the chickens l>egau to settle their differ ences Captain and Brother Wolf was praying. He was an his knees and the wicked fowls were close in his wake. The Captain was very \< ud and eloquent. lie prayed that the wicked men and women of the world may be turned from their sin and follow the path of the Lord. The chickens had by this time climbed on his neck and were clawing his hair and making “the fur fly" in the most exciting manner. There was a general uproar. The audience cheered, groaned, whistled, stamped and carried on such a noisy campaign that the Salvationists were forced to quit the hall. When in the open air the boys hooted and gibed th**n, threw mud at them and whooped things un quite lively. The battle, they say. was fought by the devil. The Salva tion Army beat a hasty retreat. “FIGARO’S” DESCENDANTS. A Barber of Seville Who Never Heard of His Operatic Predecessor. George R. Sims in the Referee. In Seville, before seeing the sights, I went to a barber's shop to have my hair curled and to be shaved, and to be generally put straight after fifteen horn's in the train. I asked my “Figaro” if he was the barber of Seville. Tie shook his head denrecatingly and said: **Xo. but he was one of them.” I explained to him that I wanted to know if he was the immortal Barber of Se ville —that it was a mild joke. lie said that there wen* so many barbers in Seville. He had never heard of Count Alina viva, but he knew a Hosina. She was working in the great tobacco factory of Seville and was very pretty. 1 lost my patience. I cried: “Great heavens, man. you are a barber of Seville, and you never heard of the Bar!er of Seville, who is in an opera known all over the world!” The man thought for a little while, and then exclaimed: “Ah. I know what you mean now. They show a shop to tourists where a barber once lived who aid something. But I didn’t know it was true about him. The guides here make so many stories for the tourists!" I left the barber of Seville sad and downcast. I had expected that all the time he was shaving me he would he singing the best known airs of the opera. And he didn't even know who Figa ro was. Capt. Richardson Owned the Bogus Ingots. From the New York Tribune. The owner of the gold Ingots deposited at the Assay Office a few days ago and found * ex amination to be bogus visited the Assay Office yesterday morning. It was Cant. Ben Richard son. of Harlem, a famous California pioneer, who lives in an old house in One-hundred-and sixteenth street, near Third avenue, and in late years has been distinguished principally as the owner of a coach which once belonged to Wash ington. It has been his habit for many years to take part in great parades, seated in the anti quated vehicle. His wealth, as well as the possession of the Washington coach, have made nim an interesting feature on many occasions. The old man is frequently seen in Wall street, ami it is said that he is not averse, once in a while, to taking a “flyer” in the stock market. He is estimated to be worth several millions and, if common report may be believed, has a keen appreciation of the value of every dollar of his fortune. Mr. Richardson did not think it worth his while, however, to take away the precious gold bars which la* hail brought a few days before to the Assay Office. lie was convinced by Refiner Martin that they were com i>ara lively worthless, and after one rond look at them he left the building without making known his wishes in regard to what may be placed among the many curiosities in his home. Mr. Richardson said in reply to persistent inquiries that he had bought the bricks for Si.ooo from two men who pre tended to be miners. The bricks were the pro duct of a Western mine, the name and place of which the men were anxious to keep secret until the value of tbe ore had l)een established. Little samples were bored out of the bricks, ac cording to the usual rules of the game, and of course they were found on assay to be pure gold. After this careful examination the old “Forty-niner" became the owner of the bricks. It is belie veil that Capt. Richardson spent much time yesterday in a fruitless hunt for the two Western miners, whose mine is still unknown and nameless. The bogus bricks were shown freely at the Assay Office. They are coated with the cheap bronzing preparation frequently applied to iron work. Life’s Too Short.
