in leadership, and there i* no- of
thing that more closely resembles a forlorn

adequately led. The majority, with a friendly
presiding officer, will generally pull through in
the face of a deficiency of commanding leader*
ship, and the minority, possessing strong, able
leaders, will be able to hold them pretty level.
The question of lcadci*hip in a legisla

cannot well be settled by caucus agree

leader, tut Mr. Heed soon came to ho rec

apokesman, poorly as he filled the shoes of
Blaine and Garfield.
No question ever existed as to the leader-
ship of Adams, Webster, Clay, Calhoun, Dou
glas, htepliens, Thurman and Maine when
they were In congress. There is a fine engrav
ing still extant, entitled "The Culled States
senate in 1850.” It reurescuts
Heni.v Clay in hia famous attitude, ad-
diming the senate on the
compromise measures. Mil-

holt of other* whose names

ever since, and not long ago wo hud a carpet-

ablest, most .judicial-mlmlcd

from active participation In

from the speaker’s position is
of couiho greater than that «f any leader on

bill passed this winter through the house of a
kind and diameter which should commend
itself to the business people of
the country, and It should bo
rejected by tho senate, Mr.
Carlisle would then ho brought

The Krftfali Crisis.
IiOLDoN,February!Mr.CIladstone left Lon
don this morning in response to the command
of the queen. At tbe railway station he was
greeted with ebeers by the people gathered
there, and smilingly bowed bis acknowledge
ments. Ho will return to London tonight.
Air. (iladstoue received an ovation on his arri
val at Portsmouth. lie made a few remarks,
thanking the jicople for their cordial reception,
and saying that his future life was certain to
be very short.
Los nos, February 2.—Miss Mary Gladstone,
daughter of Mr. Gladstone, was married this
morning to Rev. Harry Drew, of Hawarden.
Lonlon, February 3.—'The new cabinet Is
officially announced, os follows:
Mr.GLADSTONE, prime minister and lint lord
Of the treasury.

the exchequer.
The MAIKitTf? OF RIPON, first lord of the admi

.1. CHAM HER LAIN, president of the local gov
ernment board.
G. O. TREVELYAN, secretary for Scotland.
A. J. M IN DELL A, president- of the board of
trade.
JOHN MhltLEY, chief secretary for Ireland.
The following appointments have been mado
ur.dcr the new administration: «
EARL SlIiNEY, lord steward of the queen's
household.
ARNOLD MOBLEY, patronage secretary.
CHARLES RUSSELL, attorney general.
The composition of the new cabinet has
caused grout surprise. It is thought to show
marks of a compromise.
No dcfiuitcapi>omtn)onl8 to tho minor offices
Lave been announced. The Daily Nows con
sider* the new ministry a strong one, and es
pecially npprovea of the appointment of tho
earl of Rostbcrry and John Morley. It say
the selection of the carl of Kimberly for the
Indian secretaryship is tho only choice that is
likely to meet with negative approval. Tho
absence of Lord Harrington from tho cabinet,
the News says, is a matter of regret, which
may, however, at uo distant date be renewed.
In the event of the defeat of John Morley iu
the election at Newcastle, Mr. Paruoll oilers to
find him :i constituency in Ireland.
The Btandard says: "Gladstone, in forming
his cabinet lias made the host of a bad situa
tion. The members are men of undoubted
ability. The election, of Fail Rosebery for
the post of secretary of foreign affairs was tho
best that could bo made, and promises well for
thegcod will of Germany. Tho appoint
ments likely to elicit criticism aro Sir Wiu.
Vernon Harcourt, chancellor of the exchequer
and John Merely, chief secretary of Ireland.
Mr. Gladstone has Issued his address to tha
electors of Midlothian. Iu A he says Unit

which demand tho attcution of parliament.
The question of social order, tho question of
land reform, and tho question of self govern
ment. Tho dcsiro for self government, ho
says, must necessarily be subject to the law of
imperial unity. Tho government hopes to
flud a safer aud more effectual method than
coercion to remedy the social troubles.
London, February 1.—The newspaper* of
Ireland generally interpret tho apitointmont
of Mr. John Morley as chief secretary for Ire
land, to mean tho transfer of power to tho
Irish rulers, but they say tbo precedents warn
the I'Coplc against being too sauguiuc.
The following is cue of tbo sen
tences contained iu tho address, and one which
indicates pretty plainly the outlines of tho
Irinli policy decided upon by Mr. Gladstone:
"Although tho difficulties of the task tuako
it imposHiblo to anticipate tho success
w ith confidence, wo shall draw comfort front
the knowledge that we aro engaged in a groat
work of peace "

BJtOADili:BST’8 APPOINTMENT.
The appointment of Broadhurst as under
home secretary, has caused a sensation iu po-
litiuri circles, that gentleman being tho first
woiVmg mau that has ever risen to tho min-
birr. The .ipi>oiataient is taken as an indi
cation that it is Gladstone's intention to rely
upon the masses against the intlueuco of tho
ailatociney.
Tlic Situation In Trance.
I’A Fis, February 4.— 1 Tbo chamber of depu
ties today agreed that tho crown jo fro Is
fhcutd la* .sold to provide a fund for aged
workmen.
It is eKtunatcd that the crown jewels to l>c
sold will produce 10.000,000. Those of his
toric interest will go to the Louvre collection.
Gems of artistic and educational interest, val
ued at 13,000,000 francs w ill be delivered to tho
museum and school of mines. The imperial
crown and swoiris that belonged to I.ouisX VIII,
and the dauphin will be melted, iu ordut to
pre*cut the possibility of their falliug into the
hands of Showmen.
I’Aitts, February t.—Nearly all the workers
in muslin, lace, calico, merino, c ishmero aad
table linen manufactories at St. ljuentere, do*
|arti»cnt ofAlsn, are on a strike, and a ma
jority of the factories ate closed. Today th-i
men cn the strike are parading the streets,
inciting the mobs agaitist the shop masters.
Tho situation is regarded as very dangerous,
and the authorities are taking military precau-
tic ns. to avoid a riot.
Fauik, February d.—The striking fact>ry
operatives at fct. Qucntiou are erecting barri*
ctdts in the stru ts of that city, and a conflict
b« tween the military and tho strikers b be
lieved imminent.
Fa bis, February tf.—'The suppose*! murder

who w as kille«l in a railway carriage compvrt-
ment while returning to Kvereux from
raris, willr $1,000 in his pockets,
on January 1 Itb, has been arrested.
It will lie remembered that when the traiu
started frem Paris, a man asked the guard if
M. Barteme was at*oard. and when ausrorcl
in the affinuativc. purchased a ticket and went
cn the same train. A man answering this
person's description left the train at Xante*-
Mir->eiuc before the murder was discovered.
Tbe perseu taken Into custody hi* be-a ilea-
ttt’cd by the employes of the railway a»
the man who alighted at Xante*.
The marquis Salisbury today received*
d<} ututicn «f unemployed workmen, who
called to urge upon him the necessity exbtiux
for government help. Lord Salisbury told tho
meu that he considered thequeetiou they ^re*
retried mote M-iious than the Irish questiou.
lie, however, denounced the policy iu voguo
nrcoug foreign gc'vernments of fostering iu-
du» tries by the granting of bounties front tho
\ iridic tira-ury. eaRiug it false political econ-
etny. lu conclusion the ex-premier de
lated that statesmen am! pxrliameut must
eihs to
< on front tho question of how host to solve tho
rroblem of relieving the preaent general dis
tress. It wss growing while population was
increasing and caused emigritiou. Govern
mental support of private enterprises might be
a good way to afford temporary relief, and the
promotion of public works might be another.
Archbishop Oroke writes to the Statist in ap
proval of the scheme ventilated in that publi
cation to buy out tbe Irish landlords. I The
archbishop believes that the rental ojfthe
whole of Ireland is under 7,000,000 pounds;
further, that m tbe Irish tenant farmerswi
net accept a scheme giving the landlord*an /
thing like twenty years rent purchas .
he thinks, that the estimate I of
1( 0,fast,uiO pounds required is too high $ fi :•
ure. He believes that tbe present imneri «1
expenditnre in Ireland, 4,000,000 ponnqs,'1«
ample to meet the interest on the consols re
quired for the purchase of the land. The Irish'
leaders do not ask for confiscation, onlyi fair
play. They don’t dream of separation from
England.
Hplritualism In Germany.
Berlin, February 2.—8p!ritualism seei
flourish in north Bohemia, notably a little vil
Inge called Jcstrebitz, where a club meetsireg
ularlv to indulge In table turning and Other
mystic amusements. The members of the dub
alzo dabble In exorcisms. A woman nshied
Gebcrt, afflicted with religious mania, lately
brought her husband and father-in-law to
Jestrcbitz to have two devils to cast out*
While waiting for the operation to‘succeed
she herself lodged with the president of the
club and attended the nightly spiritualistic
meetings. At the end of three days sh# be
came raving iuad. upon which the club, (con
cluding that she also was possessed of the
devil, bound her hand and foot and exorcised
her. For this interference with the lilierty of
the subject three members have just been
prosecuted and sent to prison.
J DO(iS AS SENTINELS.
The German minister of war ha* given or
ders that a number of dogs bo trained with
a view to testing the value of services they
might possibly render to sentinels engaged iu
keeping guard during the night. It is believ
ed that by the help of these sagacious animals
outposts would be far less liable
snrpisc. as the dogs wonld
ways give notice of tho approach of theenomy
much earlier than it could be detected by tbe
sentinel without such assistance. This new
departure in the German army is suggested, by
an incident which occurred in the course of
last year’s operations among tbe British forces
in the Soudan, when a dog, like the geese at
the rapitol of ancient Rome, gave notice of a
surprise by the enemy.
lll*nia roll's 1'oUnIi Policy.
Berlin, February 2.—The Polish policy of
Bismarck lias produced general excitement
throughout Germany and Austria. The im
mense Lnbricnski estate, containing about
200,000 acres, one of the largest estates in
Prussia, Js offered for sjiJo next April. The
inhabitants of the estate have for years been
mainly Poles, and tbe edict of expulsion by
forcibly removing tho tenantry qnd depriving
the estate of its revenues has thrown it upon
the market. Bismarck’s announced policy of
purchasing for crown all the real estate owned
by the Polish nobles and gentry in Prussia
for re-salo to German colonists is opportune
for the present proprietors of the Luhrienski
lands, for at any ordinary sale the property
must have gone at bankrupt prices. Bismarck
does not intend to take advantage of the ex
pulsions to buy tho land in Posen cheap, but
means to pay lairly for it, and his land tag decla
rations have, in fact, served to keep up values
by assuring a market.
Addressee of sympathy have bcou sent Bis
marck by Gcrmansin every partof flic empire,
and many have already reached him from
people in tbe Austrian rcichsratli. Headed by
tho German national deputy, Herr Knabe, hat
also signed a similar memorial of congratula
tion. The Anttrian-German club of Vienna,
however, have unanimously denounced the
German chancellor's treatment of tho Poles.
IJuropenu Gossip.
Liverpool, February 1,—A mutiny occur
red today among tho lads on the reformatory
ship Clarence, which is lying iu the Mcrsoy.
At a preconcerted signal, tho lads in a body at
tacked the officers with belaying pins, fire
arms and other weapons. Tho officers drew
their revolver* and fired into the mutinous
crowd, and tried in vain to force them to lay
down their weapons aud return to their places.
The boys continued their assault, and at last
compelled tho officers to seek shelter. The lads
then lowered tho boats into which they crowd
ed, and tho boatA drifted down the stream
with the tide. Tho Clarence's officers, after
the departure of the boys ntsdo signals to the
authorities on "shore, and soon several boats
filled with police put out aud called upon tho
boys to surrender. The youngsters deeming
resistance useless, gave up and were taken bock
to the ship. The ringleaders wore placed in
irons. Eighteen lads and two officers rcccivod
wound* in the fight.
Tlie Pope Taints.
Rome. February ft.—Tho pope, while trails-
cting homo business with Cardinal F errieri,

EXCITEMENT UNABATED.
Proof that that rhyslcian'* Terrible Con
Cession Is True.
From tbe Cleveland, O., Herald.
Yesterday and the day before we copied into
our columns from the Rochester, K. Y,. Demo
crat and Chronicle, a remarkable statement,
made by J. B. Henion, M. 1)., a gentleman
who is well known in this city. In that arti
cle Dr. Henion recounted a wonderful expe
rience which befell him, and the next day we
published from the same paper a second article,
givinganacconntof tbe excitement in Ro
chester, and elsewhere, caused by Dr. Henkm’s
statement. It is doubtful if any two articles
were ever published which caused. greater
commotion Mb among professional and flay*
men.
Siure tbe publication of thMc two article.,
having been beaieited with letter! of inquiry,
we feut a communication to Dr, Henion land
also to H. H. Warner & Go., asking if any lad
ditional proof could bo given, and nere it k:
Gentlkmek: I owe mj life and preaent
health wholly to the power of Warner, Safe
Cure, which,hatched nfo from the very blink
of the grave. It is not surprising that people
should question the statement I made (which
is tine in every respect) for my recovery <w«s
as grant a marvel to myself, as to my pliysi
dans, and friends. • * -
. ,T. B. Henion, m.
Koc hestek. N. V„ January SB. X
Nibs: Tho best proof that we can give yon
that. tbo Statement! made by J)r. Henion
are entirely true, end would not have Veen
published unless strictly so. is the following
testimonial from the best citizens of Iiocbester,
and a card published by Iter. Dr. Foote, j
if. H. Waeneh & Cp.
To whom it may concent:
We arc personally or hy reputation acquaint'
cd with Dr. Henion, and wo believe he wonld
publiish no statement not literally trne. Wo
are also personally or by reputation well ac
quainted with H. If. Warner A Co., propric.
tors of Wsmer's Safe Cure, (by which Dr. Hen-
ion says ho waa cured) whoso commercial and
tersonal standing in this community areof the
richest order, and we believe that they would
not publish any statements which were not lit
erally and strictly true in every particular*

To the Editor of tho Living Church, Chicago,
Illinois:
There was published in tho Rochester (X,
Y.) Democrat and Chronicle of tho .'list of De
cember, a statement made by J. B. Henion, M
D., narrating how he bad liecn cared of Bright's
disease of tho kidneys, almost In its last
stages, hy the use of Warner's Safo Care. I
was referred to in that statement, as having
recommended and urged Dr. Henion to try the
remedy, which ho did, and was cured. Tho
statement of Dr. Henion is trne. so far as it
concents myself, and I bcliovo it to lie trne in
all other respects. He nos a parishioner of
mine and I visited him in his sickness. I urged
him to take the medicine and would do the
same again to any ono who was troubled with
a disease of tho kidneys and liver.
