Mr. Jay Gould is having a first-class time in Paris and doesn’t care a rap whether the fulls or the lieaus are on top in Wall street. He expects to board his yacht at Marseilles about Thanksgiving day for a cruise up the Mediterranean. Is there an Auareuist who wouldn't be a millionaire' The Mugwumps of New York city are having another spasm because J. B. Lock wood, a Grand Army of the Republic man, has been knocked out of a *1,600 po-ition in the custom house. His superior says he was incompetent, and that he was too fond of exhilarating beverages. He was ap pointed in 1876. There is a report that Mr. E. B. Haskell, late of the Boston Herald, proposes to estab lish the biggest daily paper in the South at Atlanta. It is pretty safe to say that Mr. Haskell has retired from the newspaper business permanently. He has an ample fortune, and proposes to enjoy life for the remainder of his days. Hon. Tom Campbell, of New York, is in AVashingtoti waiting for the opening of Congress. He still wears a white tie and wonders why Mr. Carlisle doesn’t consult him about the tariff. If Mr. Campbell were as great a statesman as ho thinks he is he would quickly- settle all the questions which agitate the country. The action of E. C. Bruffey, a reporter of ♦the Atlanta Constitution, in going to jail rather than divulge the source of certain information to the grand jury, was not without a precedent. John Dennis, Jr., of the Rochester (N. Y.) Democrat, had a similar experience a few years ago during the investigation of city and county officers a i Rochester. Considerable inditruation and disgust is manifested in New York over the action of Anthony Comstock, Agent for the Society for the Suppression of Vice, in brutally striking a small boy in that city Thursday afternoon. Many reputable citizens wit nessed the deed and denounced Comstock vigorously, while he in t\ rn expressed him self in terms more forcible than elegant. Robert T. Hilliard, a dude actor in Mrs. Langtry’s company, wanted to knock out Jit-. Freddie Gebhardt because two of his chums, he alleged, made eyes at Mrs. Hil liard, and Mrs. Langtry bounced Mr. Hil liard out of her company. She said that he insisted on kissing her shoe, although her foot wasn’t in it. Mr. Hilliard is quite fa mous on account of hi- efforts to supplant Mr. Berry Wall as king of the dudes. A French maiden, Miss Rendau, of Chi cago, died last Wednesday from a peculiar cause. She bad been afflicted with spasms for quite a long time, and on that day she was seized with a very violent paroxysm, and a live snapping turtle was forced from her stomach. It is thought that it grew from a germ swallowed in water from Lake Michigan. It grew to the size of a silver hulf dollar and then it snapped the cord which bound her to earth. Dr. Henry Hiller and wife, of Wilming ton, Mass., have displayed a morbid vanity by ordering their coffins made at a cost of SIO,OOO, although there Is apparently no danger of either passing away for some time to come. Mrs. Hiller says an ordinary coffin falls to pieces forty-eight hours after it is received by mother earth, and she hopes the casket in which she shall be placed will endure for ages. Dr. Hiller says he has been offered a large sum by a showman to exhibit the caskets. Republican success in Ohio lias so elated Gov. Foraker that he plainly intimates his exjiectation of heading the Republican Presidential ticket in 1888. The Philadel phia Times ascribes Gov. Foraker’s popu larity to his modesty. His last campaign speeches contained these expressions: "I will down Tom Powell,” ‘‘l have downed Grover Cleveland,” “I will down Jeff Davis,” "I have fought in thirteen battles, - ’ “I am a stronger man than IS Herman in some re spect*.” “1 want to sea more blood sprinkled on the flag.” Northern Men in Southern Pulpits. Quite it number of the Republican papers are endeavoring to make it appear tbut the Independent Presbyterian church of this city refused to extend to Dr. Leonard A\ j Bacon a permanent call because he is a Northern man. The Chicago Tribune, which j is oue of the most influential papei's in the | West, in an editorial article said: Tiie sectional feeling in the South is not confined to social or political circles. It seems to permeate the whole hotly politic and to manifest itself with the most viru lence in directions where the most charity would lie expected. The recent experiences of the Rev. lJr. Leonard W. Bacon are in point and freshly demonstrate the fact that the church South has io-t none of its sec tional bitterness and intolerance since slaverv was abolished and the war closed. *************** Dr. Bacon adds one more to the list of Northern preachers whose pulpits have been male too uncomfortable for any manly Union man to occupy except at the loss of self-respect and the sacrifice of his honest convictions. Tiie dismissal of Dr. Bacon is tantamount to an announcement from the Southern pulpit that no minister who is a friend of the negro, an admirer of Abraham Lincoln or an advocate of Union principles need apply. It is a notification to Northern people who Hre loyal to the government, who be lieve that the negro should have his civil l ights, who cherish the memory of Abraham Lincoln, and who are prepared hr maintain the national principle as against the dogma of State sovereignty, that they are not wanted i;i the South unless they will con sent to suppress their sentiments, even if they do not subscribe to the Southern sec tiorial idea. The South has drawn the line in the most unmistakable manner. These extracts are only samples of the kind of comments which the differences be t ween Dr. Bacon and a majority of his con gregation have called out. That they are intended either to create false impressions or are the result of incorrect information, there is no doubt. They are certainly not justified by anything which has occurred in the Independent Presbyterian church. It is a mistake to suppose that a Northern man cannot occupy a Southern pulpit ac ceptably. It would not be difficult to find in any Southern State Northern clergymen who are not only giving great satisfaction, but who are very popular. When Dr. Ba con was called it was very well understood that he entertained extreme Northern views. The committee which repre sented the church, and which invited him to this city, had a very frank conversation with him relative to his political opinions. He was expected to preach the gospel and not make political speeches, and. therefore, the church did not bother itself about his politics. If there had been any hostility to Northern men in the church. Dr. Bacon would not have been in vited to occupy its pulpit. It is also a mistake to suppose that there is any feeling of disrespect for the memory of Abraham Lincoln among the members of the Independent Presbyterian church, or among the jtcople of this city; or that there is any desire to deprive the colored people of their civil rights. Abraham Lincoln is always spoken of w ith respect, and it would be difficult to find a prominent Southern man who has not a great admiration for his character. As for the colored people, w'hat civil right is there to which they are en titled that they do not enjoy l The opposition to Dr. Bacon which de veloped in his church, and which was ex pired when the question of extending to him a permanent call came up for settle ment, was not based upon his political views, nor upon the fact that he is a North ern man. Had it been he would not have had such a strong following—a following composed of those who are second to none in their love of the South, whether the old or the new, and of everything wliich the Southern people hold dear. Dr. Bacon has no'stronger friends anywhere than he has in this city, outside of his church as well as in it. He is the kind of a man who makes friends and enemies. He doesn’t mean to make enemies but he can’t help it. What has happened to him here, if we do not judge him wrongly, is likely to happen to him in any Northern city. It is true that much feeling against him was expressed immediate!y after he preached what has been called a Fourth of July ser mon, but when the sermon came to bo ttu derstood the feeling subsided, and many of those who criticised him the most harshly are now his warmest friends. Tho e who still refer to that sermon as an objection to him do so not because of the matter in it, but because they question the advisability of bringing the subjects with which it dealt iuto the pulpit. It is doubtful if there is a congregation at the the North which would quietly submit to the utterance from the pulpit of political sentiments that might disturb its harmony. What then were the grounds of oppo sition to Dr. Bacon' If we are not mis informed they were his alleged lack of tact and judgment, his aggressiveness in matters pertaining to the church, his interpretation of the Scriptures, his failure to make him self acquainted with members of his church in their homes and the conviction that though he might make warm friends he would be certain to make enemies to such an extent as to keep the church in a continual state of unrest. The gossip about Dr. Bacon's political opinions was an outgrowth of i he opposition to him and not tne cause oi it. The oppo sition existed before lie preached his Fourth of July sermon, and before opinions res speeling colored people were attributed to him. Dr. Bacon is a man of splendid ability and sterling integrity. Those who are hostile to him will concede that. If he lucks the faculty of harmonizing jieople it is his mis fortune rather than his fault. The bogus bomb which a Washington news-fakir sent to tho house oi Chief Justice Waite, of the Supreme Court, at Washing ton, immediately after the decision of that court in the cases of the Chicago Anarch ists. is believed to have caused the death of a nephew of the Chiei Justice who wrs sick iu the house at the time with typhoid fever. The doctors say that the excitement caused by the reception of the bomb acted unfavor ably upon the young man and made iiis re covery impossible. The news-fakir lias been indicted, and if lie gets his deserts he will spend sometime behind tho bars of a prison. Justice Duffy, of Now York, expressed the opinion that “Sullivan is a big blow,” and that it would please the court to see him knocked out. The Judge does not core to undertake tiie job himself, however, hut he has deputized Joe Coburn to find soma oue to “do up” the champion. Gen. Booth, of the Salvation Army, has just expressed the opinion that a man who makes money should spend it for the good of the Christian community and has ex pressed his willingness to act as treasurer for the Christian community. THE MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 1887. 1 Threatened Disturbances In London. It is expected in London that there will be trouble in that city to-day. The author ities are determined that there shall lie no meeting in Trafalgar square, and it is be lieved that the unemployed thousands, the Radical clubs and the agitators have deter mined that thereshall be. In our dispatches yesterday it was stated that 0,000 sueeial constables have been sworn in, and that the troops which will be in readiness to go to the assistance of the police, if any assistance is needed, have been supplied with buck shot. l’he riot which occurred in Trafalgar square and its immediate vicinity last Sun day was a very serious one. More than 200 of the populace and about forty policemen were more or less seriously injured. If an attempt is made to hold a meeting to-day the people will be better prepared to cojie with the police and will be more aggressive than they were last Sunday, for the reason that public sentiment in l.ondou is some what divided on the question of the right of the authorities to prevent meetings in the square. Several of the news papers have severely condemned the police for their attacks on the people last Sunday, and at a number of public meetings, which included men of influence, resolutions were adopted declaring that the attack was an outrage. There is no doubt that the right of the people to meet in Trafalgar square, or else where in the city, to give expression to their grievances is admitted in London, and, doubtless, no opposition would be made to a meeting in the square to-day, if it were not thought that it would re sult in a very serious disturbance of the peace. The reason that the meeting last Sunday was prevented was the apprehen sion of a riot. Meetings have been held in the square frequently within the last year or two, and until last Sunday the police have done nothing to prevent them. Last Sunday’s mooting, however, was intended to be a demonstration of an unusual charac ter. It was expected that fully 100,000 people would be present, and it was understood that socialistic and anarchistic orators would deliver addresses of a very inflamma tory character. Under the circumstances the authorities deemed it wise to prevent the meeting. There is at present a very unhappy condi tion of affairs in London. There are tens of thousands of people who are unemployed, and a very large percentage of them is on the verge of starvation. Homeless men, women and children wander about the streets at night, and find a resting place in the public squares, and even on the pave ments of the less frequented streets. Life has few attractions for them, and death has no terrors. Not long ago some of them walked into Westminster Abbey while the services were in progress and demanded that the well paid preachers should divide their salaries with them. It is evident that if a riot were to occur in London there would not only be a great destruction of property, but also of life. All the conditions are there for a great disturbance, and it would re quire very little effort to collect a mob that would defy the authorities. A meeting in Trafalgar square could do no possible good, and might lead to a great deal of harm. The government knows that there is much suffering among the people, and is just as likely to take steps to alleviate it without any public demonstrations ns it is if there are demonstrations. It is prob able, therefore, that while the refusal to allow great meetings in Trafalgar square will be severly criticised by a few, it will be generally approved by thinking people. The Crown Prince's Condition. The report of the condition of the Crown Prince of Germany, contained in our dis patches this morning, is much more favor able. Oue physician expresses the opinion that he may entirely recover his health. The reports of the Prince’s condition, how ever, may be expected to vary greatly from day to day until it is definitely determined w hether a fatal result is to he expected from the disease with which he is afflicted. In the beginning of the cancer from which Gen. Grant suffered a hope was held out that he would recover. The bulletins some days were very encouraging and other days they indicated a fatal result. The bulletins respecting the condition of tho Crown Prince appear to be about the same character. The Medical Hecord says; “It is possible, even should the roval patient refuse to submit to an ojieratlon, that he may yet live to reign over the German empire, though the accession of Prince William—an eveut which the lovers of European peace seem to fear so greatly— can hardly, in any event, be long delayed.” There is no hope held out by the Hecord that the Prince can be cured. The question whether the cancer was caused by tobacco, it seems, lias lioeti raised. It was raised in the case of Gen. Grant, who was a great smoker. The weight of opiuion in that case was against tho tobacco theory. It appears that the opinion is en tertained in Germany that tobacco is not the cause of the cancer from which the Crown Prince suffer-. He never used to bacco to excess. Iu fact, lie was always a very moderate smoke■. In his speech at the dinner of the Cham ber of Commerce in New York, Joseph Chamberlain is reported us pi-ading guilty to the accusation of being a “Radical and a Democrat of extreme faith.” Tiie Hon. Joseph is not regarded in England now us a Kadi cal or a Democrat, but as a renegade to Democracy and Radicalism, 110 is rep resenting in‘this country a Tory govern ment, and is so far compromised to con servatism that he will find it hard to free himself it he so desires. Joseph is evidently following the example of Lord Beaconsfield, who in his younger days was a Radical, but afterward became the leader of Toryism in England. According to a presentment of the grand jury at Edgefield, 8. C\. a day or two ago, every Judge who has held court in that towu for a number of years has vio lated his sacred oath of office, because he failed to take such legal steps as were neces sary to protect the public interests. When the presentment was made there was a hustling in court, and in a very short time a delinquent county official was under arrest. It is a good thing for the people to have offi cials stirred up once in a while. The Un ted Labor party iu New York is divided on the question of spoils, and nl readj - there is grumbling and growling over the fact that George is the only lender in the movement that is making any money out of it. Mr. George is a good business man. He has put bogus philanthropy and practical politics to profit by advertising his books and booming his newspaper. For his work in behalf of the poor he has re ceived r.bout $100,Off), it is estimated. His followers must value his sympathy highly. CURRENT COMMENT. Most Will Not Like It. From the .Yew York Tribune. It will lie an excellent thing for John Most's health if he is sent to the island again. He will have to work and take baths. It would be hard to say which is the more disagreeable to a thoroughgoing Anarchist. George and McGlynn. From the Philadelphia ledger tlnd.) As Dr. McGlynn'sefforts have about finished up Henry George as the leader of a political party, it would be but a return favor if Henry George would now silence McGlyun as a politi cal priest. One of the Blessings of Protection. From the Springfield Republican, How is it that regularly year by year, about this lime coal famines prevail and prices are forced up and the miners never seem to share in the advance? Various sections of the country have lieen reporting a scarcity of coal and exorbitant prices for some time, but it has not been because of any strike of miners nor lias there beeu any indication that they have profited in the least by the high prices. The way the sc coal lings do business was well illus trated the other day by a Pennsylvania compa ny. They raised the price of their coal 50c. a lon because of a strike among the miners. The strikers got an advance of 2tyc. a ton, and the company pocketed the other 47j£c. BRIGHT BITS.

Never mind,' he said, ‘who wrote it. The doctor signed his name nod I cut it off.' ‘What did you cut it off tor?' I asked, eagerly. ‘So that I wouldn't have to pay you his commission,’ was the innocent response. I then tacked on 15c. extra for luck, hut gave him a glass of soda with a wink in it, and he walked out with the air of a man immensely tickled at the success of his scheme.”— Boston Gazette. PERSONAL. Max O'Rell and Joseph Chamberlain have promised not to write books in this country, but they will probably forget their promise Mrs. Holmes, of Cincinnati, who has just reached home after a 8.000-mile yacht cruise through the great lakes, managed her own yacht during tiie entire trip. Mum i o i mdieu. tiie Parisian actress, has just published a book on her travels in the “dol lar” country us she calls America. She sup ported Bernhardt on her last tour.

William Saunders, the ex-member of Parlia ment who was arrested in London Sunday for attempting to speak in Trafalgar square, and who was discharged Thursday, is well known in this country. He made an extended visit m ISfvt and afterward wrote aud published a work entitled “Through the Light Country.” Again in IsNi he returned to this country with a proj ect t > simply special cable news. The arrange ment fell through, but Saunders' idea has since been adopted ami enlarged by the New York papers. Mr. Saunders is about 50 years of age and is described as the owner of several papers, quite rich, of radical ideas and pugnacious dis position. He was an intimate friend of Heury George while the latter was iu England. ITEMS OF INTEREST. Tnr. first night the lake at Goneva, Minn., froze over it froze so quick and hard that a large Dumber of geese were froze in, or at least their legs, and the boys, the next day, while skating around among them killed thirty-four with clubs. It is said that the biggest price ever paid for a weaning colt was that paid by Arthur Caton, of Chicago, to J. V. Strieker for Delphos, a son of Natwood, and a grandson on his dam's side of Harold, the sire of Maud S. 110 fetched at auction $3,750. William Donmoyf.r, of Bath, Northampton county, Fa., who is working in a tannery at Allentown, discovered recently that a fellow laborer was his brother, whom he doesn't re member ever having seen. They were separated when they were infants. There is an unaccountable and remarkable mortality among the sardines of San Luis, Obispo bay. They are dying by the thousands, and the shores of the bay are covered with these dead fish to the depth of two or three feet, aud the stench is unbearable. The silk dress coat has reached Boston, and made a tremendous sensation among the dudes of the Hub. It is really a handsome garment, made of heavy, corded, lustreless silk, which at a little distance looks like the richest of black broadcloth. It is a Paris fashion. Tramp life would seem to be undergoing a radical change. In the East, lately, several of the fraternity feasted on dog meat, and now five othei-s have been arrested for breaking into (not out of) the jail at York, Pa. Their excuse was that they wanted shelter for the night. Kansas is trying to encourage silk produc tion, and nas, by act of Legislature, established a station where eggs will be distributed and reelers educated. Ten acres have been set out with mulberry trees and fifteen reels are now running, producing, it is said, excellent silk. When a settler in the Northwest Territory wants to go back to Ontario to lie married, the Canadian Pacific railroad sells him a matrimo nial ticket at the usual rate, and on presenting the return coupon and a marriage certificate he is entitled to free transportation for his bride. There are SO blast furnaces in and about Pittsburg, 35 rolling mills, 39 steel works, 15 window glass works, 37 flint-glass works and 11 green glass works. The blast furnaces make 900,000 tons of iron per year, the rolling mills 575,000 tons, steel works 750,000 tons, plate glass works 3,250,000 souare feet, window glass works 900,000. One of the shrewdest men in Maine is now in jail at Paris. He was arrested at his home in the northern part of the State and taken to Paris, where he gave bond. A few- days after ward he came back and told his bondsman to surrender him. "I’ve got to stay here for some time,” he said, “and I don’t want to be at any expense. 1 propose to have the county pay my bills while I stay.’’ Frank Jackson, of Virginia City, Neb., out shooting jack rabbits, saw an animal lying on a ledge of rocks, and blazed away, “just to see the critter run." The critter ran, but it ran to ward Jackson, who waited to give it the second barrel. The gun missed fire, and then there were some very lively times between the man nnd the beast, until a comrade ran up and killed the latter, which proved to be a full-grown lynx, with fully developed claws and teeth, as Mr. Jackson had discovered. A yoi’ng Australian near Bochara, after an unusually hard day’s work, sheep shearing,went to sleep on the sitting room couch after supper. Soon he arose, walked out into the darkness, went through four gates, which he carefully closed, to the woodshed, and then hung up his coat and took down his sheep shears and sharp cued them. Then he caught a sheep and had just finished shearing it, when some of the household came with a lantern. Then it turned out that he had been asleep all the time, and the light of the lantern awakened him. The sheep was sheared as well as though it had been done In broad daylight. The Bishop of London has recently made pub lic some interesting statistics on the religious life of the great city. According to his figures the average number of communicants at com munion services of the established church dur ing the year was 47,714. At Easter the number rose to 99,000. The average attendance at Sun day morning services was 2iX).890: at Sunday evening servicess 205,496. London is a remarka bly ctmrch-going city, but this exhibit shows that it has about four million inhabitants who don't attend the services of the established church, and that those who do constitute only about one-ninth of the population.

Brer Howell writes Brer Grady down, Which is quite the proper caper. And each expects to carry the town By their mutual daily paper. The public mind is tossed and torn, And Atlanta's lovely daughters Preach on the street to all they meet The glories that are water's. Sam Small. A Lucky Young- Lawyer. From the New York Graphic. Judge John Davis, of the Court of Claims in Washington, is one of the luctty young men in polities. He never did work of any kind for either political party—ho was not known in their counsels and probably never spent a dol lar in advancing their fortunes or success. Yet he has been well taken care of for the last eight or ten years officially, and has a life place now that gives him a comfortable income and a set tied prominent place in society at the National Capital. He is not more than HU or 35 years of age—a short, blonde, nubbin sort of boyish fel low. who smokes cigarettes carries a big-headed cane with the regular English swing, and looks as little like a grave judicial officer of the United States as Berry Wall or Delaneey Nieolt. He stepfieil into a pleasant assured future when he married, old Senator Frelinghuysen s daughter, and President Arthur, who was more intimate with the Frellnghuysens than with any other family in Washington during his residence there, made John Judge of the Court of Claims just before Mr. Cleveland went to live in the White House. Blessings on Their Tiny Heads. From the Boston Transcript. A little motherless girl of five summers, who was left in my care four years in New Orleans, was one Sabbath morning busy over her doll's wardrobe, when I approached her by saying: "Lily. (Jcid is not pleased while you play with your doll to-day.” She looked seriously into my face and said: "Mrs. H —God ims nothing to do with me. Jesus takes car.- of little children.” She was hi a Sunday school at Trinity church. A small boy, also in my car", was found one Sunday playing steam cars with his blocks, etc. It was In Malden, prior to the advent ot horse cars. I made a similar remark to the one above, and his reply was in pure innocence: “Does Hod keep 'em all up there to his self to day t" A little girl, walking in the public garden on Sunday with her mother, begun to play upon the grass, and was instantly restrained'to her chagrin. "Why can't I run on the grass, mamma ?”she exclaimed. “Because the policeman will make you go off if you do. Don't you see the policemen over there y Besides, it is Sunday, and Hod doesn't want you to play. "Oh. dear." said the little girl, "if it wasn't for the policeman aud God what nice times we could hate!” Snakes, Properly Serpents. There are four snakes only. I believe, in the United Stab's that are considered poisonous unto death, but if what I bear Ist true, and I have no reason to doubt it. there is another, which may he called the American asp, its bite being even more fatal than that or the raitle snake. It lives inuur canebrukes, is rare ly seen on the ground, its habitat being among the cane tops. It i-about a foot in length, and its bite is so fatal that the Indian bitten by one makes no attempt at cure but wraps his blanket around him and sings his death song. We have another snake proper, such being of the worm form, which is rarely seen, but of which I had u glimpse once in our mountains, and of the horn on its tail. I had a specimen, li is called the hoop snake from its mode of pro gression. drawing its tail up to its head, and then springing rapidly forward.it seems tore volve like a hoop. It strikes in all directions, but old Vandeveer, the hunter of Tallulah Falls, said it turned a sumaset. whipping its horn into the object attacked. The received opinion among tlie country folks is that Its blow is fatal to trees as well as to men or c ttle. In my hunting adventures I have seen two combats, one I**tween the black snake and the rattle snake, and another between the king snake ana the rattle, an t taking a lesson from the latter I have ridden up to a flock of wild pigeons on a dead tree in an old Held and cir cumvented a cook of the ruffed grouse drum ming ou a log till I got near enough to throw a stick at him but missed him.
