CURRENT NOTES.

WHEN

Mr. Gladstone finds the offenses

of the Paris'Commune to be of a political nature and those of the Fenians not, we see a distinction without a difference.

THE

Chicago "Republican" cruelly re*

marks that if the fire had burned out Mr. Horace White's insatiable desire to be the political ring-master of Chicago, it would have done some good after all.

NEWS

received from the several States

holding elections in November gives encouraging hopes of the result. Wisconsin, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, and Virginia promise to do their duty well.

THE

adulteration of food LA attracting

great attention in England,'and will be brought before Parliament at its next session for thorough investigation and prompt action. It were well if America should do likewise. "THE

Democratic party, as a national

organization, ought to have dissolved itself into its original elements aa soon as the fifteenth amendment had become part of the Constitution." So said Senator Schurz in his recent speech at Louisville.

THE

English courts impose penalties

upon those poor, despondent, half-crazed mortals who attempt to commit suicide. The Philadelphia "Press" thinks that, under a similar criminal code the Democratic party in this country would be clearly indictable.

A SUBALTERN OFFICER of the United Slates army is to do duty on the top of Mount Washington during the coming winter, and arrngements have been amply made for him and such as may be his companions. Ilis duty will be in connection with that of the Signal Bureau.

THE

our over-active politicians have need to go to the colored men for instruction and example. The action of the National Colored Convention at Columbia, S. C., in refusing to anticipate that of the National Republican Convention on the nomina tion of a Presidential candidate, is cer tainly sensible and judicious. It is a pity that the wisdom of the colored folks this particular could not be more generally diffused.

Thursday the argument on the motion to admit Nancy E. Clem to bail, was concluded before Judge Davidson in the Supreme Court consultation room, Indianapolis, by Major Gordon, in support of the motion. The closing speech of Mr, G. was over five hours in length. At its conclusion, Judge Davidson announoed that he wouid take the motion and argument'under advisement, and enter his ruling upon it at the opening of the next term of the Boone Circuit Court, which meets November 13tli.

As THE telegraph lias already ah nounced, the first^section of the pioneer narrow-gauge road of the United States was completed last Saturday, and the road, equipped for freight and passenger business, is now open for traffic. This road extends from Denver to Colorado Springs, 76 miles, and is the.first section of the Denver and Rio Grande Railroad, which will ultimately be extended S00 miles further, to the line of Old Mexico, at El Paso, and in due time willl stretch still further south, till it reaches the City of Montezuma, 1,050 mtlcs still further toward the Equator.

ALL the palmiest days in Italian opera, New York never saw such a triumph as at the closing of the Rosa season Saturday evening last. The bill was "II Trovatore," with Madame Parepa and Waclitel in the leading parts, the finest support that could be culled from the whole city, and an orchestra of sixty drilled and inspired by Carl Roso. Every inch of space in the houe was filled, parquette tickets sold for twenty dollars each, while away up in the gallery, where none but gamins and roughs were wont to congregate, fluttered the robes and gleamed the jewels of New York's most fasliiona ble fair ones.

OUR BRITISH

THE

cousins are endearing

thenselves to us by their noble acts of charity toward our suffering brethren in the burned regions of the late prosperous Northwest. Not only have they contributed generously to the fund for the relief of the sufferers by the Chicago conflagration, but by the steamer "Russia." which sailed for our shores from Liverpool on Saturday last, they forwarded generous stores of clothing and blankets for those rendered houseless and helpless by the fearful fires in the late wealth-producing farming regions of Michigan and Wisconsin. Blood is indeed thicker than water, and the two great English-speaking na. tions of the earth are brethren in more than in name.

Chicago "Journal" finds occasion

to remark that, even as during the war the Chicago "Times" could find nothing on the part of the Union Government and the commanders of the army to commend, but much to carp at, while everybody else was putting his shoulders to the wheel to help along the great work of national preservation so now this same pestiferous sheet can find nothing in the action or efforts of the city or military authorities during or since the late fire to approve, and nothing in the hurculean

efforts of tfae citizens to reconstruct and rebuild the city, to encourage, but fills its editorial columns with growls,snarls and flings at those who haye been doing or trying to do their duty in the late emer gency, and in the present dilemma.

EMPEROR^ WILLIAM I

KANSAS

Wisconsin Republicans assert that

that State will give twenty thousand majority for the Republican State ticket. The Milwaukee or eastern half of the State usually gives about fifteen thousand Democratic majority, and the western half of Wisconsin, of which La Crosse is the chief town,gives about thirty thousand Republican majority. The usual majority in the whole State, therefore, they expect to increase five thousand.

THE

old fogy College men of Amherst

are not in favor of the admission of women to college opportunities, as they nearly unanimously say that the presence of female students would lead to an increase of restrictive and burdensome laws and regulations that the girls would entice the boys from their studies, and that their matriculation would loiver the standard of the collegiate course.

THE

New York "Tribune" say3 some of

of Germany

should now be supremely happy, as even the benighted ruler of China acknowl edges his greatness by conferring upon him the title of Hwang-ti," which is the highest honor recognized by the Celestial Court etiquette. Hitherto the brother of the sun and moon has contented himself by honoring his monarchial brethren of Europe with the humble rank of

has peculiar ideas of justice,

A learned judge of that thriving young State has just sentenced a man to five years' imprisonment for the heinous offense of stealing a mule, the property of the United States while for stuffing bal lot bOxes another individual was doomed to but six months' incarceration. Mules are evidently of more importance in the eyes of the Kansas judiciary than ballots and that the integrity of a government team is deserving of more stringent guards than those which surround the ballot box The judge who imposed these remarkable sentences is evidently not one of the pio neers that, in the years just preceding the war for the Union, suffered and struggled to make Kansas free.

the paths of industry many of the Southern States are now wisely following the example of their more thrifty Northern sisters. To the numerous agricultu ral fairs which, for several years past have enlightened and improved the rural regions of the sections where they were held, Alabama now takes an appropriate step forward, with a State cotton fair, which is to be opened at Montgomery on the last of the current month, and con tinuing for five days. Upwards of one thousand dollars is offered in premiums for the best bales of the staple. Ernula tion in these contests of skill and industry will add much more to the wealth and real strength of the South than all the tournaments and high tempered political discussions that ever were indulged in by the old school of planters, who professed to despise labor and its grand results.

Labor's Wrongs.

From the Boston Times.] The order of the United American Mechanics in Pennsylvania has taken ground against the system of trades unions a3 pernicious in their tendencies and inconsistent with the true principles of Republican Government. It declares further that "it will take active measures for the restoration of the good old system of apprenticeship, in order that the Gliildren of members of this Order may be enabled to learn trades thoroughly, so as to compete successfully with foreign mechanism."

This is a step in the right direction When Mr. Wendell Phillips said at the late Labor Reform Convention that there was "no war between labor and capital," he might have truthfully added—"but I regret to say that there is a deadly enmity between labor and itself, which really amounts to the same thing for is not the poor man's labor his capital, and his right to exercise it his unquestionable privilege?" Reserving to the action of trades unions, which are professedly organized for the protection of the rights of labor, but which ignore the latter in the most arbitrary and unjust manner, Mr. Phillips might have safely appended the words used above to bis declaration, and, in doing so, have properly condemned a proceeding which does more than anything else to weaken and neutralize the just claims of labor before thinking and right-judging people. Organized trades union labor says to a young man—"Thou shalt not learn my craft thou hast no natural or other rights to intrude thyself and thy hopes and expectations on my guild our ranks are full, and thou canst have no place therein our interets are superior to thine go hence and spend th^ energies in another direction!"

This is trades-union talk and practice and what are its consequences? They cannot be denied, for they are every day seen of men. They arc, that skilled labor has become a deep secret with the majority of American mechanics, and that the various handicrafts he might adorn by his educated judgment are handed over to the foreign workman whose apprenticed skill makes his labor the mo3t valuable. We can conceive no deeper crime an American workman can commit against his fellow citizen than the endorsement of the doctrine that an American youth, who has his honest labor to bestow, shall have no power whatever over its bestowal in the way he may choose to exercise it, only as the football for trades-union rules to kick from post to pillar. We wonder that the patriotism of our people has not, long ago, risen in open and determined condemnation of such outrage on human rights. Could there be any more glaring evidence that labor is at enmity with itself than this exclusive process furnishes? Can there be anything more demeaning or unpatriotic than submission to it? Let labor have its rights by all means but we hold it quite as essential that those who clamor for them should show how well they de serve their claim by yielding up the wrongs they have so foully engrafted on its freedom, and continue so unjustly to adhere to.

Land Tenure in Florida. 1 never spoke with any one in Florida about buying land who did not offer to sell me the very land he lived on. This looked as if something was wrong and when a man yellow as a pumpkin and shaking with ague, swore that his place was perfectly healthy and that the mosquitoes lived on the other side, while he was yet exceedingly anxious to sell out and go elsewhere, I felt "dubus." In one such case I noticed that the river was washing the sandy bank away very rapidly. I learned on inquiry, that the current had changed its course in the last few years—probably deranged by the war —and was washing away the farm offered for sale. The estate was, in fact, undergoing a process of liquidation.

In other respects, also, land-titles are insecure in this part of the world. There were first the old Spanish grants previous to 1750 then the English grants then the new Spanish grants then the territorial United States grants and now modern possession. These rights often overlap and interfere with each other. Besides these, add the war-claims, with property sold for unpaid taxes, covering everything else, and you can imagine what a Florida title to land must be. In short, a Florida estate implies a lawsuit. —From

Anecdotes of Washington and Andre Many years ago I made my first visit to Washington's headquarters at old Tappan Town, about half a mile from the "Seventy-six House." The ancient edi fice was more than a hundred and twenty years old, and, although built of stone, seemed almost tottering to its fall. It had had fdar roofs, one on the top of the other, and from the first lower layer of cedar shingles I selected powdering spec imens which pulled out eas^y, and have them now among my Revolutionary relics.

I entered with my friend, whose guest I was at the lime, and who was a resident of the immediate neighborhood. JV'e were courteously welcomed by its then occupants, two elderly ladies, who were born in the house.

Nothing could be in'more perfect keeping with the mansion than these two ven erable women. Their "name was Ver Bruyck and I was the more interested in them because I had recently become ac quainted in New York with a relative of theirs of the same name, a promising young painter, who was fast increasing his reputation as a very natural artist and a keen observer of the picturesque. One of his most admired sketches, I soon saw was a most lifelike picture of this same old house. "Did you ever see General Washington?" inquired of the oldest old lady. "Oh, yes—many and many a time," she answered, "in this very room. He often used to hold me in his lap. I remember it just as well as if it was but yesterday he was a lovely man, General Washington was. And here," she continued, going to and opening a wide cupboard, "he used to keep his 'things.' These blue and white chaney cups and saiasers he used to drink out of and here's the very bowl he used to make his wine sangaree into and they used to pass it round from one officer to another when they'd come to see him and they helped themselves# He seen a good deal of company, General

Washington did." "Did you ever see Major Andre?" I asked. "Oh, ye3—more'n fifty times. He was a beautiful man. He kissed me twice I was a little girl then. I seen him the very morning they took him on the top of the hill to hang him. The day before in the morning, I took him up some handsome ripe peaches. He thanked me so kind, and broke one of 'em open and put it into his month, and tasted of it but somehow or 'notber, he didn't seem to have no appetite."

I asked how General Washington seemed to feel on the occasion. "Oh, he must have felt dredful! He walked back'ards and for'ards all the morning in this very room and I've hear'n Pop Blauvelt say that he had never see him feel so bad afore. He kept looking at his watch every now and then, and was oneasy till the time had come and Major Andre was hung. I seen Major Andre myself, when he was a-swingin' in the air and I seen him when he was dug up and took away: so did you, Polly, too, didn't you?''—In the Lippinccf's Mag' azinc.

The Social Ebb in London. Despite all the intellectual pabulum for every variety of mental appetite, despite the provision for appetites of a different order, despite the succession of so cial festivities, from breakfasts to balls, which fill the twenty-four hours, despite the cricket, the boating, the horse-racing, the pigeon-shooting, despite even the charms of driving the stage-coach to Brighton, there is a great hunger, an tin stilled craving, an aching void in the London world, only to be filled by the excitement of a great trial. Last year it was the case of Lady Mordaunt, whose photograph, in common with that of all the fine ladies and great criminals, may be bought anywhere for sixpence, the more exciting horrors of the Clinton affair being kept private. This season it has been the Tichborne case, a very cur ious and puzzling question of identity, involving the succession to an old name and a great estate, and bringing in its wake an immense quantity of scandal. This has been the absorbing topic of the day: at the Opera it was not the music or the singers, at a ball it was not this or that beauty's toilette "or engagement, at the clubs it was not the Derby nor the ballot or Army Bill, but the Tichborne case. The trial was held at the Queen's Bench, Westminster: the court-room is small, and holds few spectators. Every place in the gallery and on the floor was crowded by fine ladies and gentlemen, having been obtained as a great favor from the chief-justice, the solicitor-gener al, and others of the powers that be. The chances of the two parties are the sub ject of innumerable bets, some so heavy that those interested use the weight of their personal importance to turn the scale of public opinion, which is known to have an occult influence on the decisions of those concerned in such cases. A large proportion of these bets are held as shares in joint stock companies, and this aspect of the affair has a peculiar physiognomy of its own, bearing a family likeness on one

Ride

to the worst turf

transactions, and on the other to our "Ring" performances. The language of the court-room has given rise to a new form of slang, which is the slang of the season. Slang holds the same place in England that French does on the Continent—it is the language of the salon: without some knowledge of it yon are cut off from polite intercourse. More over, the letter has fallen into disfavor and the final into total disuse, so that whereas a verb, according to the old definition, signifies "to be, to do, or to suffer," the pcesent participle is reduced to bein', doin' and sufferin', and fashionable pronunciation recalls the daysjof the French Directory, when the young merreillcux talked of their "paicole d'honneu." All this accords with the present principle of good society, that it is not like ladies and gentlemen to do anything well to write a fair hand is like a clerk or lady'smaid to sing or play well is "professional (You sing too well for a gentleman," said the old duke of Wellington to a young man of birth who added to many other gifts an equisitite tenor voice and talent for music): to be civil is like a flunkey (accordingly, at the theatre the best-bred people walk over your knees and toes, and at balls punch you on the back and ribs, irrespective of age or sex, without a word of apology) to go out of the way to see anything that is beautiful or venerable or historical is like a "gony to be well dressed is like a Frenchwoman —an old term of reproach to use good language is—lowest of all!—like an American.—Lippincotl's Magazine.

A Lad Killed bj a Locomotive. Special to the Indianapolis Journal.1 MARION,

IND., October 26. About 4

o'clock this afternoon, Mr. Jacob Manning and his son, a lad about 12 years of age, were walking on the Panhandle track, about ten miles east of this place. They stepped on opposite sides to let the outward bound mail train pass, when the son attempted to cross to his father, but was stuck by the engine, killing him instantly. The train halted and ran back to Upland, to carry the lifeless body to the lad's late home. The Coroner will hold an inquest over the body to-morrow.
