From the interesting letter of our Washington, Itul., correspondent it will be seen that all is not serene in tho Democratic ranks of the Second District. Mr. Hostetler, representing in Congress the district of which Vigo tjounty Was formally a part, is likely to 'run as an independent candidate, and •with a very fair show of being elected over Mr. Cobb.

Strangely enough, the Fortnightly Review for July, published just a fortnight before the awful events at Alexandria, contains a striking poem entitled "A Voice From the Nile," by the late James Thomson, described as the author of "The City of Dreadful Night," a phrase which sums up as if by prophetic anticipation the story of Alexandria after the successful retreat of Arabi Bey. In this poem old Father Nile iB made to utter these words, to which the blunders of Admiral Seymour and the excesses of. the maddened Egyptians lend anew a meaning as old as the days of the Macedonian conquerer who built the Alexandria of the ancients and of the Mussulman in vaders who laid it waste:

Also their peoples over are at. war, Slaying aiul slain, burning and ravaging, And one yields to another and tlioy pass, AVhllo 1 How evermore the same great

Nile,

The cvor-young and ever-ancient Nile Tho swarthy Is succeed by tho dusk, The dusky by the palo, tho pale again By sunburned turbancd tribes long-linon robed: And with these changcs all things change and pass, All things but Me and this old Land of mine.

We present in another column the final exercises that closed the relation of a beloved and trusted pastor with a harmonious and attached people. Wo took occasion in our last issue to use what was,perhaps, a hasty and thoughtless squib from a cotemporary, as a text for a full expression of commendation of tho eourso of the Rev. C. R. Henderson during his long pastorate in this city, knowing full well that. we only expressed the general sentiment. The more we hear of the relations between the First Baptist church and its late pastor, the more estimable appears the character both of the flock and tho shepherd.

It is scarcely in the province of a public journal to allude to any division of opinion that arises between a church and its minister, as it is a family affair, but we return to this particular case as reflecting credit upon all parties. It was

-xm?^

Ji,J'

instance where

a very manly, conscientious young preacher hastened to express his divergence" from tho views held by his charge, and to offer his resignation rather than preach what ho was not fully assured was true— and where an attached people, confident of his entire consecration to Christian duty, could trust to his conscientious interpretation of revealed truth, and declined to receive the resignation. It is a pleasant page in the history of that church which" records the mutual, disinterested zeal of tho two parties to this theological dilemma. Suffice it to say that a council composed of eminent Baptist divines exonerated Mr. Henderson from any heresy, his people had by a large majority already done so, and the pastoral relation was continued with but a ripple in the flow of peaceful accord and confidence. How satisfactory was the union was shown by the manifestation of Sunday, when a large congregation assembled with unfeigned .sorrow to bid the God-speed to a successful pastor, in tho beautiful edifice, «o recently completed by their mutual Jabore and with them met the representatives of the best of our community to hear the last addresses of the catholic, progressive and zealous .teacher, pastor, and citizen, Key. Chas. 11. Henderson.

DQIIOEATIOK.

The sudden check which emigration to the United States has experienced during the past week is one of those statistical puzzles which frequently distract the mind of the sociologist. A month ago it seemed as if the Old World was to empty itself into the New. Every "steamer which crossed the Atlantic tapped the overflowing reservoir, and so superabundant were passengers that "lines" were improvised for the purpose of securing some of the surplus human freight which the regular packets were unable to convey. Castle Garden was overtaxed, by day thousands of perwerc landed, and for week week there passed through

York mien, women and

children anxious, like the banished Lords in Lear, to "do old deeds in countries new," and numerous enough to liavo founded several-flourishing cities—as "cities" go in the Far West. But suddenly the flood abated, until tho past week's arrivals were fewer by nearly two thousand than those of 'lie corresponding week in 1881 while the entire immigration up to the 25th of June lias been about eight thousand under that of last year for the same length of time. The recently published Report of the Chief of the Statistical Bureau at Washington slices that 1821' to 1881 inclusive, the pumber of alien passengers who arrived in the United States was 11,021,702. The smallest number which arrived in any year was 89,007 in 1862, and 89,724 in 1801, which is, of course, easily explained by the fact that during that period the Civil War was raging. In the course of 1881, 743,712 passengers arrived in the United States, of whom 669,439 were immigrants intended to settle in the country. This showed an increase over the previous year of 46.40 per cent. The present season began •so very briskly that during the month of May 90,019 people were added to the population of the great Republic, which amount not only outnumbers the total for tho corresponding month in 1880, but is even greater than the totals for the years 1861, 1876, and 1878, the two latter of which were by no means' unprccedently dull. Yet suddenly in June the people cease to come in anything like the .old flood, apparently without any due reason, and, certainly without any warning which would have led us to expect such fickleness on the part of the poorer classes of Europe. We do not profess to be able to solve a prob-, lem which is given up by the American statisticians. It must be remembered, however, that at this season immigration falls off normally. The peasant farmers of Germany and Scandinavia are waiting 'to get their crops in before disposing of everything and taking the one great step in their life. In Engfand, work is comparatively plentiful in the agricultural districts. The hay is being cut, and in a short time the grain, the hops, and the fruit will require to be garnered. Accordingly, they wait on until October or November, when the tide flows once more in the direction of the New World witli such vigor that the Grand Duke of Mecklenburg-Strelitz is running a serious risk of having to rule a relm without subjects whila whole districts in Norway and the Norreland of Sweden are reported as nearly depopulated. Yet though these facts might account for the ordinary periodic depression in immigration, they will not explain why in June, 1882, seven thousand fewer people sought a home in America than during June, 1881. Curiously enough, the present summer will witness the greatest flight of well-to-do Americans to Europe which has ever been,vknown since the citizens of the

United States discovered that l'aris was the centre of the Elvsian Fields. Last year over sixty-five thousand people, who might be. classed as tourists, crossed the Atlantic but, as nearly forty-nine thousand were in the steerage these may be brooked as poor folks who found that the new world was not, according to their way of thinking, better than the old. However, this reciprocal immigration does not affect the returns to which we refer, for the latter treat only of those who have arrived in the United States, apart from the fact of whether they remained or returned. Nor can the circumstance that the Chinese.immigration has been stopped go far to unite the statistical knot, for though last year some twelve thousand Mongols entered the United States through the Golden Gate, against a few hundred during the past six months, they have not suddenly began to fall ofl' within the first threo weeks of June indeed, out of the seven or eight thousand who havo entered the Canadian Province of British Columbia since January, the majority will find, or have found, their way across the fortyninth parallel, the Exclusive Act referring solely to entries by sea, and not to arrivals by land. No doubt, also, the German authorities have strained every point to prevent this drain of people fit to pay taxes and young men liable to bear arms, though any decrease from this cause has been more thali counterbalanced by the persecuted Jews, who hove sought., but from all accounts, have not found, an asylum more to their minds than Odessa to Kiefi'. It is, however, better in accord with facts that immigration from Ireland has of late been falling ofl. The harvest of 1SS2 promises to be excellent—even better than that of 1S81 and doubtless, though we hear more of trouble in that unhappy isle than peace, the Land Bill cannot have forced so many sacrifices on the proprietors of the soil without conferring something of a corresponding advantage on the tillers of it. And yet, after taking all these possible influences into account, we still find it puzzling to account for the deficiency in the immigration returns. It is equally difficult to say whether a

The "Lady Was Bight.

Once upon a time, at a joyous little supper, an actress who had gathered a good many successive crops of laurels, remarked pleasantly to Nestor Roqueplan: "I say, Roqueplan, Is it- true that you are past seventy?" "No, my dear it Is my fathor you are thinking of. Ho knew your mother well for it must have been your mother who was playing at the Renaissance in 1840, wasn't It

Springfield News. Our telegraph editor got on'a symmetrical drunk on the night of the arrival of Jumbo in this country, which it will be remembered was about the same time tho notorious outlaw, Mr. Jesse James, was shot. The next morning (which was Sunday) the editor and subscribers to the News were liorifled at seeing the followlne appear editorially In the paper: "As we go to press we learn with mingled feelings of brandy and sugar, that James Jumbo, the notorious Missouri outlaw, was shot dead by Ills keeper wlille'dustlng a picture he had Just taken out of his trunk. Jumbo'ls reported to have shot forty-six men during his reign of terror, and the London Zoological garden only consented to part with him at the most earnest solicitation of a mob who wanted to hang hlin oyer a schooner, where he Is now stretched on a bier."

Duplicity of Dumas. j.,

Anecdoto about the elder Dumas: Once upon a time, as the dinner hour approached, Duinas felt In his poclcotand found It empty. He had forgotten his purse.

Making his way promptly to the house of Paul Meurice, he found Mme. Meurice at home, but not her husband, who had gone out, taking the key of the casli box with him, and leaving her one solitary louis for domestic expenses. "Wo!!, I'll take that," said Dumas "I Wanted at least five, but It'll be hard if I can't scrapo together the other four.

And pressing the lady's hand warmljPJie was about to take his leave when she called him back. "Oh, M.Dumas, I know you are fond of my pickles, and as I've Just been making some I've put aside aJar for you." "Oh, thank you ever so much. I'll take it now." "No I'll let the sorvant girl carry It out to your cab."

Dumas regains the vehiclc, followed by the maid, who deposits the precious Jar on the seat beside him. ^'Thanks, puss," says the novelist, with a paternal chuck of the cliln "here, take this for your trouble!"

And lie hands lier the louis he had Just borrowed from her mistress.

ART AND ARTIST8.

A monument of marble and granite is to be erected in memory of the late Prince Imperial of France, on the green facing the Royal Military Academy, Woolwich.

Some of General Grant's admirers In Japan have propared for him with artistic euro an album of valuable lithographic portraits of ancient worthies, facsimiles of pictures and writings, etc.

Huntington's portrait of Mrs. Hayes, presented to tho Nation through Mr. Gar field soon after the inauguration, has been hung on'tlie walls^of the Green Parlor at the Executive Mansion.

A monument to Mazzlnl, the Italian patriot, has just been unveiled at Genoa In the presence of 8ft) societies, with their banners. The procession occupied two hours in passing a given point.

The Darwin memorial In London now amounts to more than $12,000. It has been decided by the committee In charge to devote the fund to the erection of a marble statue of the great naturalist, and the trustees of the British Museum will be asked to allow it to be placed In the largo hall of the Natural History Museum, South Kensington.

At a meeting of the directors of the Milwaukee Museum of Fine Arts, on the 13th Inst., the following officers were sleeted: President, Mrs. Alexander Mitchell treasurer, William Plankinton secretary, William W. Wight executive committee, Mrs. Alexander Mitchell, Horace Rublee, Mrs. William Plankinton, Mrs. William L. Dance, Mr. Frank Seller, Mr. W. II. Sherman, Mrs. F. J. Crosby.

Thomas Lc Clear, a New York artist, has in ills studio three portraits of General Grant and one of the late President. Of two of the^former, both full length, in civilian dress and unfinished, one Is for the White House and the other for Mrs. Grant. The third is a three-quarter length, with a rustic background. The portrait of the late President Is a profile head, in tha two full-length portraits of General Grant the figures are to be the same, but the interiors different. That for the White House will picture a parlor, and that for Mrs. Grant a library. In each the General stands in front of an arm-chair, against which leans his sword, and by a table on which are his gold medal, some papers and an Inkstand. His left hand rests on the table, and the right is thrust into the breast of the buttoncd-up coat. Py 'the'ta&le Is a globe and a portfolio. The White House picture will have pictured on the wall the Trumbull portrait of Washington. In the background of the other work will be a bookcase, and on the floor will stand, partly screened by a marble column, a portrait of the subject In uniform.

A London letter says: 'Iricontestably the musical sensa'.Ion of the hour Is Pauline Lucca's Carmen. The wayward little prima donna lias taken the town by storin. She has furnished tho London public with wluit it dearly loves—a surprise. Henceforth -Minnie Hauk's hoydenlsh and willful Carmen must be dispiacod from the front rank of character conceptions to bespoken of as pretty and pleasing, interesting, even clever, but nothing more sierlous than all that- "Lucca" has re-read tho part of the Spunlsh gypsy, uud taking the very broadest vlewof Mer-. imee's drawing, she makes the Seville el? gar-roller a very tigress, a fascinating devil, whom to see la to love,.but to know is to fear. -From the first moment this new Carmen appears upon tlie scene, accused by her comrades of. having stabbei} mo of their number, thero is that In the woman's eye which shows her to be quite capable of this act of deviltry. The keynote of the character thus struck Is. sustained with wonderful power by Mme. Lucca until tlie final scene, when the perverse beauty meets the frightful reward, almost merited,of her murder by her tortured lover. In this sceno tlie actress completely throws tlie singer In the shade, Mine. Lucca's histrionic, ability being something unexpectedly great."

The most interesting music to bo heard In New York at the present moment is that of tlie Hungarian Gypsies. I^ls such mu'iic as lias not been heUrcl there before. Tlie band Is small, numbering only about twelve pieces—violins, 'cello, double bass, two reeds and a cymbal. There is no classic grace about its performances buta racy wildness that la delightful by contrast with the smoothness and.accuracy of conventional forms. In operatic selections one hardly cares: to hear these swarthy minstrels. It Is In the rackozy and tho czarras that they excel. Their manner of playing is all their own. They have no rule but the nod of their leader. At a word from him they pass from one melody to another, now playing a slow and melancholy strain,again rushing plong In a very' devil's dance, until.the hearer Is as

Wildly

oxcited as the band. Most of their melodies are played In a minor- koy, and even when their bows are flying at full speed, there is a prevailing sadness,a 8trarigo mingling of laughter and tears. One can easily ilnd in t.lie music of such a band, the inspiration of Lizst's Hungarian rhapsodies. The materials from which they were constructed by tlie.- trained composer are all here. Tho appearance of the gypsies |s in their favor. Uncouth, unshaven as they arc, there is something very picturesqc and pleasing In tlioir dark skin, black cych and frowsy lialr. Their costume is the undress uniform of tho Hungarian soldier.

Only "tor dismissal, but to fine

"Alexander" Ireland, of the'Manchester Examiner, tells a story which came to him from a personal witness of the-facts given. In a small village, the blacksmith h'ad got hold of 'Richardson's- "Pamela, or Virtue Rewarded," and it became his custom to read it aloud in the long summer evenings. Seated on his anvil, an attentive audience gathered about him, he went slowly through the book, until the end and the bringing of hero and heroine together, to live long and happily, whereupon his hearers set up a shout, and getting the church keys from, tho sexton, set -the parish bells ringing a wedding peal.

Better Late Than Never.—This proverblalism originated with Thomas Tusser, author of "Five Hundred Points of Good Husbandry," who put itinto his "An Habitation Enforced." Tussfer's writings are prolific of expressions which have long since become proverbial.

No Royal Road to (feometry.—Euclid, who opened a school of mathematics at Alexandria, In the reign of the First Ptolemy, was once asked by that sovereign whether he could not explain his art to him in a more compendious way, to which Euclid made the celebrated answer, that there was no royal road to geometry.

The Nine Worthies.—The historical personages designated the "Nine Worthies" were three Gentiles—Hector, son of Priam Alexander the Great, and Julius Cresar three Jews, Joshua, conqueror of Canaan David, King of Israel, and Judas Mnecabeeus and three Christians, Arthur, King of Britain Charlemagne, and Godfrey of Bouillon.

The Bed of Procrustes.—Procrustes, called by Parusanlas. Polypiemon, was, in mythology, a robber of ancient Greece, who placed on an iron bed the travelers who fell into his hands, which their stature was made'to fit by cutting off the projecting limbs, or by stretching them to suit Its dimensions whence the metaphorical expression of the Bed of I'roerustcs.

See You D—d First.—Lord Thurlow who died in 1806, wound up one of his speeches In the British Parliament with "When I forget my sovereign, may my God forget me whereupon Wilkes Js reported to have Bald, somewhat coarsely, but not unhappily: "Forget you! He'll see you d—d first." Burke also exclaimed: "The best thing that could happen to you."

Drawn and Quartered.—In the statutes of Great Britain the punishment for treason -still is that the offender be drawn to the place of execution on a hurdle that lie be hanged by the neck until he be dead that his head be severed from his body and that body bo divided in to four parts, or "quartered." The Sovereign may, and now certainly would, by a- warrant under the sign-manual, countersigned by a principal Secretary of State, change the sentence into bolieadlng. in the case of females, the quartering Is dispensed with. From this statute rose the expression "drawn and quartered."

We Reeognite a Hercules from the Size of the Foot,—PythagorasIngeniouslycalculated the'grcat stature of Hercules by c6mparlng the length at various stndlain Greece. All these courses were nominally (J00 feet In length but Hercules was'said' to have in ensured out the stadium at Olympia with his own feet, while the others followed a standard of later days. The philosopher urgued that by how much the Olympic course exceeded ail others in length by the said proportion did the foot of Hercules excced thatof men of a' subsequent age and, again, by the same proportion must the stature of Hcrcules have been pre-eminent.
