The English populace has for some weeks been profoundly stirred by the grave question, Shall Princess Louise have a dowry In many boroughs, more particularly in the country, the member of Parliament was told that to vote for it would be political suicide.

James Pakton has written Bismark for the New York Ledger, and makes him out decidedly "good." For instance: "If we may judge from his private letters, lie is a religious man of the old type, and attends punctually to the observances of the national church of his country. We observe- also that he had his children both baptised and confirmed, and that, if he is unable to attend church, he nsu ally has prayers read by some young clergyman at home." And the eulogist of the Prussian statesman quotes from a letter of his in which he says: "Among the multitude of sinners who are in need of the mercy of God, I hope that His grace will not deprive me of the staff of humble faith, in the dangers and doubts of my calling."

Arrest of Captain Ban Johnson as An Accomplice Thereto.

From the Indianapolis Sentinel, 17th] 1 The investigation in the Hickman Hall mystery terminated yesterday bj the Grand Jury bringing in an indict raent against Captain Ben Johnson, charging him with complicity in the crime—it being settled in the minds of the jury that, Hall was foully dealt with A warrant was issued immediately by Judge Elliot, and placed in the hands of Deputy Sheriff Adams and Officers Powell and Wilson for Execution. Shortly after dusk Johnson was found leisurely sauntering down Illinois street. The warrant was read to him, and he readily signified a willingness to go with the officers asking that they would first accompany him home, in order to allow him to ar range some matters there. Under the circumstances this could not be granted, and shortly afterwards he was landed in the county jail. Captain Johnson took his arrest with steady nerve, and showed but little tremor in hb manner. He appears certain of an acquittal, and that he can easily prove himself guiltless of so atrocious a crime as the murder of this man. We forbear comments until it can be seen what developments will be made hereafter. There is a mystery in this Hall case as great as that which enshrouded the Young murder, and from the first finding of the body until the present time no stone has been left unturned to unravel it.

SaN Francisco paper says that the Chinamen are not now systematically taunted and tortured on the public streets of that city, as was the custom there a little while ago, but they are victimised by educated scoundrels, when redress is next to impossible. The exclusion of Chinese testimony from the Courts places the robbery and maltreatment, .of.|Jie race at a premium.

county, states that the wife of a prominent citizen of that place, a member of the Common Council, on Thursday, attacked Mr. Auton Egli and wife in his store, for a fancied instill. She battered both over the head with a bed slat, and finally ended up by going outside the store and running her fist through each of the large 3how windows. She was im mediately arrested, taken before the Mayor and fined for breach of peace and malicious trespass.

Seen distinguished conservatives as Mrs. Dahlgren, Mrs. Sherman and other Washington matrons of hardly less conjugal note, are trying to flank the female suffragists, by having all the sexual dis Unctions in the civil service abolished Alluding to this movement, the Chicago Journal forcibly remarks that the present practice of paying a woman less than man for the same work is a monstrous injustice. We hope the present agitation with its flank movements will not cease until the absolute personal, social and industrial equality of the sexes has been established. When that time comes, the demand for the elective franchise, with its privileges and its burdens, will be balloon with a hole in it.

OF THE TODDLER-JENKINS WEDDING.

From Harper's Eizar.] My dear Oriole,—Have you Eend that Inigo is married? It was a very great Occasion. It was publicly announced in one of the newspapers that the wedding of the beautiful Miss Becky Toddler ana Mr. Inigo Jenkins would come off on the 14th, and that it was expected to surpass all the weddings of the season in splendor and cost. It was really delightful to read the enthusiastic story, and to reflect upon the envy and admiration which it must have excited in a thousand tender bosoms. And as the day approached there were the most refined and agreeable announcements. One day we read. Only one week to the great Toddler wedding." Then, "Day after to-morrow the ToddlerJenkins nuptials!" Then, "To-morrow the event occurs of which society has been long in breathless anticipation." And at last: "To-day the event of the season and indeed, of the year comes off at 8aint Rainbow's. The doors will be opened at eleven o'clock. The ceremony will take 9 precisely at noon, and will be conducted by Bishops Ruffle, Lawn, and Bands. The blushing bride and her father will approach the altar by the north aisle. The gallant and handsome groom will proceed by the south aisle, and the clergyman in full vestments will be in waiting at the chancel rails. .During the procession Mr. Blast will perform some of the most exquisite morceaux upon the superb organ of St. Rainbow's. 'Xhe middle of the house will be reserved for invited guests, and immediately after the ceremony which makes one_ the happy pur the wedding cortege will drive to the hospitable and magnificent mansion of the brid'es parents, where an elegant and recherche collation will be served, and at three o'clock Mr. and Mrs. Inigo Jenkins will leave by the train for Isp» han. The presents, which are very splendid, and which we shall describe at length in our issue for to-morrow, will be exhibited in some of the spacious rooms of the palatial Toddler residence. As our edition will begin to leave the press at ten o'clock we shall be able to satisfy the demand,'which in anticipation is al ready enormous. It is not often that a wedding of such phenomenal importance, by the great wealth, the fashion and tjb)S: personal beauty of the parties concerned, takes place in our midst and, as faithful and enterprising historians of the day, our duty is evident. It is to give our patrons the fullest and most authentic re port of the affair."

What, I say, my dear Oriole, could be, more refined and agreeable to a modest young woman who is about to marry the good fellow whom she loves than this? And what could be more gratifying to her and to her friends than to read, on the morning after the ceremony, the list of presents and when those were wanting, the cards which represented them and, finally, a full catalogue of the wardrobe of the happy pair? It is not decent and civilized and honorable? The paper from which I have quoted was equal to the occasion. True toils promise, it gave a graphic description of the bridal gifts. There' were silver and gold inlaid tea services there were soup tureens and a solid silver dinner service there were necklaces and bracelets and pins and chains and rings there were camel's-hair shawls and lace of every costly kind all the jewelers had evidently received carte blanche, as the paper declared and there were police officers, dressed as waiters with white cravats, to superintend the exhibition, and to guard the sacred treasures. "And now," said the paper, "it is our pleasing privilege to announce that, under the deepest sense of duty to our patrons and to the public, we shall tomorrow publish an authentic list in detail of the entire trousseau of Mrs. ToddlerJenkins."

And so it did. I have the honor of knowing just how many dresses, and of what material, style, and cost that lady owns. I have also the. honor of knowing the exa^inventory of all the rest of her clothing. Her maid, who has charge of her presses and bureaus, does not know more than I. I know how many stockings and night caps she has, and how they are trimmed. I know also exactly the number and size of her slippers, and of her walking boots and gloves. Indeed my dear Oriole, I and every other old gen tleman in town know vary much more than it seems to me we ought to know about the clothing of a young woman whom we never saw, end in whom wi have no interest whatever. It is an edi fying business, isn't it? And where this kind of publicity to cease? The most private and sacred facts will not be withheld. I saw old Grizzler readin through his glasses, as all the other ol Grizzlers in the club were, the account of the Toddler-Jenkins wardrobe, and I said to him: "Grizzler, I should think you would shudder when you think what may befall your daughter." "Good God 1" exclaimed he, and quite pale, "what do you mean?" "Why she may be married some day, and then you can't be sure that the whole town won't do over her just what you are doing over Toddler's daughter—gloat over the description of her under-sleeves and other garments." "My dear Bachelor," said Grizzler "you relieve me very much. I thought, from what you said, that something hor rible was threatening my daughter. But the publicity of which you speak is mere matter of fashion. My. girl must do as the others do." "Thank God 1" said I—and I am aware with great energy—"that I haven't any daughter, then, if it is necessary to humor fashion in such a way."

He looked at me with an air of amused surprise for a moment, and then resumed his reading of the list of the ToddlerJenkins pocket-handkerchiefs. What an old fool the man is! for he doesn't really like it any more than other honest and decent men. And who makes what he calls fashion hut just such people aa he and Toddler? If Toddler had said, "My dear Becky, if you don't know what is modest and proper, I do and I won't have you the jest of the prurient gossip of the town because you are to be married, and I'll shoot any newspaper reporter that I find prowling about," we should soon have an end of this absurd fashion of weddings.

And if the'girls themselves do not stop it it will go further. The same spirit which announces engagements in newspapers, which records private wed' dings as if they were of interest to any body but the families conctrned, and which describes in detail the gifts and the wardrobe of the bride, will presently describe the furniture in her drawingroom and chambers. We shall read that the Toddler-

Jenkens breakfast yesterday

morning was served in the Sevres, service, which, as our readers will remember, we described at the time of the wedding as the gift of the bride's uncle, Mr Jawkins Toddler, the celebrated China merchant. Mr. Jeid^ns was dressed in his usual gray tweed shooting jacket and trowsers, with heavy walking shoes, and gaiters4o match the clothes. The beautiful Mrs. Jenkins, ne-e Toddler, prefers a morning neglige sky blue in color, very simply made, out with great style. Yesterday morning it was the dress which we described at the time of the wedding as the gift of Mrs. Jenkins Jenkins, her husband's aunt. Mrs. Toddler-Jenkins is as lovely as on the day when she approached the altar—an occasion which we iaithfally described atthe time, as our readers will remember and it is now our fecions privilege to announce that there not the slightest reason for supposing that the house of Jenkinsis about to be* come extinct." And at last we shall read: "The greal Toddler-Jenkens event is confidently expected to come off not later than next week."

The ascent is very easy from publishing

the list of the trousseau to such an announcement. And what, my dear Oriole, can be more essentially vulgar than the Toddler-Jenkins wedding? It Is simply demoralizing, and you can see its necessary result. The wedding under this system becomes a mere spectacle, a public pageant. The bride and groom, with their attendants, actually rehearse the' ceremony. It becomes a trick of fashion and a contest of expense. I am waiting to aee the aisle up which the bride passes matted with rose-bads for her to walk upon. The sweet and solemn significance of the ceremony is utterly lost, is it not? The girls who look on wish to have the same splendor when they are married, and the wretched youths who are earning an honest bnt ndi profuse living, which they would gladly share with a beloved partner, gaze aghast upon a spectacle which is so wholly discordant with the necessarily quiet tone of their lives. As for poor Jenkins, he is cruelly sacrificed, unless p£pa Toddler means to pay the bills of the new household. And those bills will be enormous, because the splendor of the wedding is proclaimed, and the happy pair must pay as the English milor pud upon the Continent he used to travel post in his private carriage with an ample retinue.

And is marriage not difficult enough already, that the foolish parental Toddlers should make it more so? I remember, soon after the flood, when I was mak ing the, tour, I met the famous American artist, Luke Joy, with whom I became quite intimate as long as I-staid in Bagdad, where he was then living. One evening he was speaking of alovely young country woman of ours who had recently arrived at Bagdad on her way to the steppes of Tartary, and he said to me that I was a lucky fellow, for had a little income, and if I asked the fair trar eler to take me and share it, she would give me four times my own revenues in Upcepting me. "But when I was married," said he, "I had nothing but my work, and my wife had nothing but hers. We clubbed our industries and our wagp, and we have never repented. Marriage was our best economy."

That is not the Toddler-Jenkins theo rv. Under that dispensation marriage is the sheerest luxury. Only the richest people can indulge in it. It is merely form of ostentation and expense. The j$ery wedding itself teaches the wildest extravagance, and with extravagance comes selfishness .and coldness. It is the splendid gate to a life of display and joylessness. And when I read in the paper that the Toddler-Jenkins nuptials will "come off" next Wednesday and that there will be an exact list of the bride's clothe* the next day and that it is confidently supposed that the devoted attention of Captain C. Robin to the beautiful and accomplished and fashionable Miss J. Wren can have but one result, *?hich is eagerly awaited in fashionable circles, and of which we shall hasten to inform our readers and that full particu lars of the caudle-party at the superb mansion of Giles Overreach, Esquire, and a detailed account of the entire collection of baby-linen, may be expected from us at. an early day—I thank Heaven, my dear Oriole, that, if the fools are not all dead, they are limited in number, until I ruefully reflect that this folly is a miasm which taints the air that every body breathes, and the poorest sewing-girl or kitchen maid reads with eagerness, and fondly hopes that one day she may be clad in lace and starred with diamonds, and lean, blushing, upon the arn% of somebody, as she moves from-the altar to the carriage, which is to convey her to a superb collation and an endless existence of porcelain and velvet.

Why don't you protest, my dear Oriole? Goldfinch, you tell me, has asked you to be his best man at his marriage next May with the beaulifnl Medora Lark. Why don't you say to him that no man who truly hbnors his bride will wish to see her made a show upon her wedding-day? Why don't you suggest that while there should be flowers and smiles, there is a profusion which is folly, and an extrava g#nce which is sin? When Aurelia was married, Oriole, she asked her father apout the wedding, and listened while he told her that he meant it should be the most glittering pageant ever seen in Saint Rainbow's. She asked how much itj would cost, and he told her the probable, sum. "But," he added, "I would gladly give twice /is much, that nothing jiqight go wrong and all for love of you n)y darling." Then she told him that she and not he should spend the money "And if it be for love of me," she said "you will do what I wish."

And what do you think she did? As great kings, when they come to the throne, proclaim an amnesty, and make a thousand homes happier'than their own palaces, so this noble young woman made ajhundred poor homes comfortable the whole winter long with the money that would have been wasted at her wedding, The newspapers had nothing to tell about the wedding to old Grizzler at the club, Uut a hundred hearts blessed Aurelia, and the prayers of the poor were her epithalamium. May they be yours, also, my dear Oriole! wsj

Your faithful friend, An Old Bachelor.

THE' ex-Secretary is at the end of his tether. His brief hour upon the st: has been strutted, and he vanishes. The "martyr" Cox, who reduced his expenses by cutting down his working force by the one who is dead, retires from his assault ijpon the President, "greatly discoursed." Martyrdom hasn't paid.

And that reminds us of a poet who wrote an ode to a martyr, himself care* fully correcting the proof and, all done, ne waited the coming of his poem from the press. It came. He had written the first line: "See the pale martyr in a sheet of fire but the types had it: "See the pale martyr with his shirt on fire."

That poet disappeared with his martyr, and the threnodists of "martyr" Cox go out on a similar provocation.--Cftica70 Journal.

Here, for instance, in New-Orleans, is an amateur association rondly designating itself as "The hakspeare Club."
