A Parnellite Tribute to Victor Hugo- Literary Notes —Gladstone Cuts Down a Tree—The Salvation Life Guards. London, May 30. —The Parriellites tribute for Victor Hugo’s funeral is a gigantic sham ro k crown. Many hundreds of distinguish ed Londoners leave to-day to attend the cere monies. Mr. Sampson Law, the English publisher of Victor Hugo’s works reports an immense demand for them. Thousands of sightseers also are going to Paris. Monday next will be pu.led down the publishing bouse of Griffiths, Farrar & Co., opposite St. Paul. The firm is 160 years oid, and published for Dr. Samuel Johnson, Goldsmith and others. The building is well known to American tourists. The artificial poetic sensation of the day is the first full translation of Sappho’s frag ments which have inspired variously Byron, Moore, Swinburn, and even Gladstone in his Sapphic love ode that the Weekly Academy reproduces to-day. Apropos of Mr. Gladstone, yesterday afternoon, in order (o show he was not so feeble as the reports made him, he felled a hollytree, but it took him an hour to do it. ■ This morning the Salvation Life Guard began in South London a march of 100 miles.

How Unscrupulous Congressmen Seek to Impose on the Administration. New York, May 30.—The Sun’s Wash ington special contains some remarkable charges of attempts by unscrupulous prli ticians to force unwor.hy appointments upon the President and heads of depart ments. It says that Attorney General Garland was nearly entrapped recently into appointing to office a man for whose arrest as a horse thief he had offered a reward while Governor of Arkansas. Secretary Manning, it is fbo stated, had actually mailed a commission to a man recommend ed by several Congressmen before he learn ed that the man was under indictment for a serious offense. He telegraphed a demand.for a resignation. An application for an impor ant position in the Railway Mail Service is pending before Postmaster General Vilas, which beais the indorse ment of Congressmen, Judges and business men of Ohio. The man, says the Sun’s cor respondent, is a defaulter, and known as such to tl e men who recommended him. An United States Senator was confronted in -ecretary Manning’s office the other day by a charge that the man he was urging for an internal revenue appointment was a con firmed drunkard. He coolly confessed that the charge was true, and recommended another man who proves to be under in dictment. CARDINAL McCABE’S SUCCESSOR. Father Walsh's Positively Announced as Selec ed.

HAPPENINGS IN THE CITY AND VICINITY- An Interesting Cotton Case Grand Success of the Artesian Weil Ex periment at Tybee—Various Pic nics and Excursions Seri us Stabbing Affray in Yama craw—Minor Matters of More or Less Interest. On Friday last another interesting suit was commenced in the City Court involving a heavy loss in cotton futures. The facts re lating to the case, as adduced on evidence in the trial, are as follows: B. R. Smith & Co., of New York, sued Mr. Charles M. Cunningham, of Savannah, on a due bill or written acknowledgment of indebtedness, amounting to something over 812,000, as the amount due on settlement of accounts between them, arising out of transac tions in cotton futures in 1879, in the city of New York, in which B. R. Smith & Co. were the brokers for Mr. Cunningham. The latter’s defence was that being about to leave New York for a few days, he informed B. R. Smith & Co. that Mr. Marmaduke Hamilton would look after his interests during his absence, and was authorized to act for him, and that they should do as Mr. Hamilton directed; that a day or two after his departure from New York Williams Birnie & Co. failed, and cotton went up some seventy points; that Mr. Hamilton called on Smith & Co. and advised them to sell Mr. Cunningham’s in terest, giving as his reason that the sudden rise in price ought to be taken advantage of. Smith & Co. declined to sell after being so advised and by such failure to sell Mr. Cun ningham sustained a loss of about $33,000 profits and the contracts were afterward closed out at an actual loss of over $20,000. Mr. Cunningham further claimed that he did not know that Mr. Hamilton had ad vised Ihe sale of the futures at the time he signed the due bill, nor for nearly two years afterwards, when in talking over the matter with him he learned that B. R. Smith & Co. had been advised to sell and had refused to do so. He further claimed that he had been deceived by B. R. Smith & Co., who had represented to him soon after the loss occurr ed that Mr Hamilton had not attended to Mr. Cunningham’s interests, but had neglect ed it, and as the matter could not be helped, and Mr. Hamilton was sensi tive about it, Smith did not wish that any thing should be said to tbe former about the matter. Mr. Cunningham further claimed that when he learned the truth of the mat ter from Mr. Hamilton, B. R. Smith & Co , had failed, and it was useless to sue them for his loss. Now, B. R. Smith & Co., claimed that they never violated any instruc tions of Mr. Cunningham’s, and insisted on the payment of the due bill. The trial of the suit was commenced on Friday morning, and a jury selected. The case was ably pre eented by Messrs Denmark & Adams for tbe plaintiffs, and H. C. Cunningham, Esq , and J. R Saussy, Eq, for the defendant. It was given to the jury in the afternoon and that body had it under consideration all night. At 10 o’clock yesterday morning they came into court and declared their ina bility to agree. Ajuror was withdrawn and a mistrial declared. Tbe jury had stood all kinds of ways, but latterly were eleven to one for defendant. City Court. Hon. Wm. D. Harden, Judge presiding.

The water is clear and spark ling, and is as cool as a mountain spring and exceedingly refreshing without ice.
