The National (ireenback Labor paris n«nv engaged, through its executive committee in St. Louis, in an effort to change its name and character as well. There is a desire to drop the word "(Mvenback" from the name of the parly and absorb all the disaffection in the country in the new organiy.ation.

The tobacco interest it is reported from Washington has concluded there is no propped of an abatement of the tobacco tux this winter. The effort now is to secure the passage of a resolution declaring it to be In: purpose of congress to give a rebate on all unbroken packages on hand at the time the tax is taken oil', thus easing the market which is now demoralized by reason of the doubt existing on that point.

It begins to look as if the bringing of Langtry and Labouchere to tins country was in the nature of unloading a lot of nastiness on our shores. Mrs. Labouchere it is now transpiring is

ENCOURAGING EMIGRATION. In a recent address Parncll opposed the emigration of bis countrymen unless the British government should provide emigrants with houses and lands. It may be that what lie desires is that all such be provided with means when beginning the new life and that the question of repayment is not urged by him one way or the other. There are several societies to promote the emigration of Catholic Irish to this country, governed by a practical and efficient system, which are accomplishing good for both the emigrants and our country. 1 is11(i Ireland, of St. Paul, and Bishop Spaulding are at the head of two coloni/.iug associations, and a third, of which the former is theagent, is controlled by citizens of (ireat Britain and was organized by John Sweetman, a wealthy and philanthropic Ihiblin man. These societies arc conducted on strict business principles. K-iiiro.nl lands are bought in great blocks and resold on easy terms to poor but promising Irishmen. Credit is given also for implements, cabins, and furniture, but payment with interest is required. Bishop Ireland has said that the utmost that, can be done for the masses of immigrants is to give the industrious an opportunity to work out their destiny in their own way and pay back honestly every dollar advanced.

In the many little settlements that have sprung up under the patronage of these Catholic bishops, the church is always the nucleus of each, and a saloon is not admitted. The number of these villages runs up into dozens and represents great financial operations, as the cost of placing a poor family in the northwest with iand ami cot is about $1,000. The pi ice nt age of failures has been small, and within live vears very many have become independent of aid. A\ find here a practical solution of various social problems that perplex us here as well as in Kit rope.

FOREFATHERS' DAY.

Kuthusiastie sons of New England will celebrate by banquet, the never failing speech, and the ever ready poem, to-day, the landing of the Pilgrims. We will hear again that the compact in the May Flower's cabin was the day-spring of American liberties. and that the rock at Plymouth was the light-house whence came rays of light to illuminate this great land— or other words to that effect. As we hear of the influence of the early Puritans upon our civil and religious institutions and of their descendants guiding that storm, which bursting, sundered the colonies from the British empire, it is natural to ask what claims u-i aueestrv and reverence have

'Sv« -:'h^£Mn:'-

the settlers of Massachusetts upon the people of the west—of Indiana, for instance, where cross lines of emigration that diverge not only from New England, but from the middle states, A irginia and Kentucky, and from the seaports that send us Germans,Jrish. English and Scandinavians. The American people is somewhat hybrid, but as the gold and alloys poured from the crucible to the mould will appear in whatever form the matrix gives we cannot escape the conclusion that the citizen of to-day is under laws, conditions and institutions, controlled by ideas and principles that started on their march when the New England colonies were planted. It is not that

Plymouth colony was the first American settlement, for Jamestown was the "Old cradle of the Infant world

In which a nestling empire Jay." It is not that the Puritans offered religious tolerance, for the charter framed for Maryland by the Catholic Calvert, Lord Baltimore, was the most tolerant te all creeds of all the colonial charters. It is not that the Plymouth colony alone was established to ameliorate the condition of. men, for Oglethorpe's colonization of Georgia was for purely benevolent purposes, to assist debtors and other unfortunates. Neither is it because New England only was patriotic and willing to resist English tyranny, for republicanism and rebellion blazed hotly in Virginia. But the Pilgrims were the first to plant a colony to secure religious freedom. With the exception of Georgia (a century later), it was the only one established for principles and not commercial profit. Their's was the first covenant to define clearly the political rights of every man. So pronounced was the independent spirit of the Massachusetts settlers that the ire of the English government was first excited against them as suspected of treason.

The austere principles of the Puritans could not be maintained in England, though Cromwell had dethroned the Stuarts. They have not endured here, though the Pilgrim ideas, in the main, aro thoroughly twisted into the warp and woof of our social fabric. The persecution of the non-confirmists by the Tudorsand Stuarts laid the train to explode the mine, when their successor, George the Third, applied a match by the stamp act. We can allow tho celebrators of Forefather's Day to laud their ancestors to their hearts' content.

No Gangrene at tho Top.

Indianapolis Journal. Mr. Hendricks may be suffering from senile gangrene of the foot, but ho is evidently not afflicted with senile gangrene of the brain. In an authorized statement, republished from tho Sentinel of yesterday, Mr. Hendricks emphatically declines to play second fiddle in Mr. McDonald's orchestra for 1884. The Indiana Talleyrand may have been reading up on Cardinal Richelieu. Barradas did not know the old man was loaded until he began fooling with him. Mr. McDonald's courtiers are likely to accumulate a similar experience in trifling with Mr. Hendricks.

Magazines.

TUB CENTURY for January is rich in illustrations. The frontispiece Is a fine portrait of the great naturalist, Charles Darwin, which is accompanied by an illustrated artlole on "The Debt of Science to Darwin." The Initial article is on "Hydraulic Mining In California," tho Illustrations being numerous and of the highest artistic excellence. "Tho Planting of New England" gives a fair insight lo the lives of the Puritan pilgrims, being embellished with numerous engravings. New Orleans and its environs are presented in a neatly illustrated article having special reference lo the Creoles and who they are, "The Trip of the 'Mark Twain'" Is a readable sketch of a voyage down the big river from Memphis. Another illustrated article presents a Tlew of a Houth African ostrich farm.

A Look in Hawthorne's Workshop" gives an idea or the plans for the novel he left unwritten—"Dr. (irimshaw's Secret." The poetry of the January number is beler than usual, and the regular departments Rre well sustained.

Mrs. Moody has prepared a very creditable juvenile sketch, entitled "Our Princess Louise." A play entitled "Mary Stuart," by Mrs. Coleman Pope is given entire. J. M. Kerr appears in the pages with an article on "Local Option," and Leon OBailey with one on "The Southwest and Texas." Kanny Drlscoll furnishes a charming poem on "Auguries." and Laura M. Walker one entitled "The Hoy Love." The regular departments are full of Interesting matter, and tho number Is good one.

THE NORTH AMKRICAN IIKVIEW for,January opens with a symposium in which three of the most prominent advocates in this country of tho "Revision of Church Creeds," namely Rev. Dr. Newman Smyth, Rev. Henry Ward Hcecher and Rev. Pr. Lyman Abbott, set forth the grounds upon which such revision is deemed necessary as a defense of revealed religion against the encroachments of skepticism, and as an adjustment of the relations between faith and science. "University Education for Women," a question that just now is being warmly agitated both here aud In England, is discussed by Prof. W. LeConte Stevens, who, though he zealously advocates the measure, commands the attention and respect of it* opponents by the eminent fairness with which he states'the adverse arguments. Prof. Isaac L. KU-e gives a "Definition of Liberty." deduced from a profoundly philosophical study of the phases of political evolution, from the earliest Anglo-Saxon times to the present day. "American English," by Gilbert M. Tucker, is a spirited defense of oureis-Atlantic fashion of English speech against the aspersions of sun dry British critics

SOME SUGGESTED CHANGES

III the School Laws Which State .Superintendent ISloss Regards as Advisable. Indianapolis Times.

Hon. John M. Bloss, state superintendent of public instruction, in his forthcoming biennial report to the legislature, will make some suggestiens in regard to changes in the school laws which, in his judgment, will be beneficial. He states, however, that he agress with liis predecessor, Mr. Smart, that making any sweeping alterations of the educational code would be det ri mental rather than an advantage. In view of the recent discoveries of the systematic thefts of the official question papers issued by the state board of education for tho examination of teachers, he aBks that a law be passed make it a criminal offense to steal, barter or give away such papers, or to dispose of them in any other way than directed by the state board." lie suggests that the reports of school trustees of the receipts and expenditures be made to the county commissioners and the county superintendents for the same period, namely: for the year ending July SI that the report to the commissioners be presented by the first Tuesday in August, and "those to the county superintendents bv the second Tuesday in August, and that the statistical information required to be given to the department, by the county superintendents, be sent in on or before the 1st of September. Another suggestion of Mr. Bloss is its to teacher's licenses. lie thinks it would Jie well to change the time of license to six, twelve, twenty-four and thirtysix months, and that persons who have heretofore received two twenty-four months licenses, or whose next license shall be for thirty-six months, may, at the expiration of the term of such licenses, after passing such examinations as the Board of Education may direct, receive a license for the term of sixteen years, thus practically doing away with the necessity for further ex iminations.

LABOUCHERE.

Langtry's Chaperone Furnishes a Littl9 Sensation of Her Own.

Gebhardt and Mrs. Langtry Promenade the Streets of Philadelphia—the Quakers Scandalized.

MRS. LABOUCHERE.

Slie is Legally Mrs. Richard Pigeon, and Sues for a Divorce. Special Dispatch to the Chicago Tribune.

RICHMOND,Va., Dec. 20.—No little excitement has been caused here to-day by certain facts which have leaked out of a divorce suit which has been filed in the chancery court of this city under the title of Pigeon vs. Pigeon. The strange movements of the fair plaintiff and such facts as have leaked out about her hasty trip to Richmond have led to tho suspicion that Mrs. Labouchere is the lady who asks for a divorce. On the 4th of this month Messrs. Carrington, Davis & Hooper, a prominent law firm of this city, were

VISITED BY A LADY,

who was accompanied by Messrs. Dunning and Fowler, attornevs-at-law, of New York. The lady, accompanied by a maid aud these gentlemen, had arrived in this city by thi northern train on that day. They at once sought a private interview with the firm. The lady's name was given as Mrs. Henri etta Pigeon, of London, England, and she said she wanted to get a divorce from her husband, whose name was given as Richard Pigeon. The lawyer immediately prepared a bill, which has been filed in the chancery court. This set forth that the reason for the desire for a divorce on the part of Mrs. Pigeon from her husband was that he had deserted his wife and treated her cruelly. The plaintiff made affidavit to these facts, and also stated that she was

and that tho issue of her union with Pigeon was a son, lo years old. The bill alleges that the whereabouts of the defendant Pigeon are unknown to the plaintiff. A publication has been made, in conformity with the law of the state, setting forth that the object of the suit is to obtain a divorce from the defendant, and that he is not a resident of Virginia, and ordering him to appear within one month after the publication of this order and do what be necessary to protect his interests in this suit.

rr,"~

Richmond counsel tor Mrs. Pigeon state that they know nothing of their knowledge to connect the plaintiff with Mrs. Labouchere. Mr. Hooper, who prepared the affidavit of Mrs. Pigeon, describes her as stout, a bru nette about forty, with cultured manners. She remained here until Dec. 7, when she left for Washington, accom panicd by Messrs. Dunning and Fowler and her mair. On the 8th the Washington papers reported the arrival of Mrs. Labouchere from Virginia,'and also had an interview with her counsel, which he said his client

11AD BEEN TO VIRGINIA

to look after some matters connected with the ownership of land. Although every one here was on the alert expecting Mrs. Labouchere, owing to publications to the effect that she would arrive in Richmond, she was not found. There is a lady living here who knew Mrs. Langtry in England, and she states that she knew nothing of Mrs. Labouchere's visit here, and this would seem to give color to the report that Sirs. Labouchere's visit here was sub rosa.

THE Illl.I. STATES THAT M1SS. PIGEON'S

MAIDEN NAME WAS HENRIETTA HODG

SON,

who, it is said, was formerly an actress in London. Since the departure of the ladv, her counsel here have never heard from her. They were given a London address, to which they have written for a copy of the certificate of marriage. In her bill Mrs. Pigeon prays for the custody of her child, who is now in England at school, and asks that Pigeon be restrained from interfering with him during the pendency of these proceedings. Colonel Carrington, of her Richmond counsel, is mayor of Richmond, and is inclined to be rather silent about the case. The result of the proceedings is looked forward to with great interest. The counsel for Mrs. Pigeon is given as Dunning, Edsall. Hart & Fowler, and Carrington, Davis & Hooper.*

WHO SEEM TO KNOW

more than the}- care at present to divulge, are of the opinion that Mrs. Pigeon, who made the flying trip to Richmond, is none other than Mrs. Langtry's chaperone, about whom so much has been recently said. Sirs. Pigeon, according to the lawyers' statement, would be back here the 1st of February, at which time the case is set for trial, but her presence is not deemed absolutely necessary.

A RELIABLE A N INTERESTING roINT

has been developed in tlie case so far, and that is, that under the Virginia law a party can come here and sue for a divorce as a resident of the state. Mrs. Pigeon was not here forty-eight hours, and yet she is set down in the bill as a resident of Virginia. If this mode of proceedure is continued Virginia will necessarily become a convenient state for the getting of divorces. What is considered as specially noticeable in that matter is the fact that, though '"Mrs. Labouchere and maid"' were announced as having left New York for Richmond on the train due here the.next morning, they apparently did not arrive, while "Mrs. Pigeon and maid"' did come on that very train. During her stay here it was proposed to Mrs. Pigeon that she should drive through the city and see the points of interest, but she declined, and remained in her room until time to leave the city. Her New York counsel took the drive. BALLANTINE'S

what reallv first started the secent

here: "Dear me! dear me! Why, I know Lily and Henrietta very well, and did not suppose it cootd ever come to that. The Laboucheres have done a great deal for Mrs. Langtry, and you tell me Henrietta—that is Labouchere, yon know—she can't countenance the acquaintances Lillie has made. My! my! Then Henrietta must have come as chaperone—a mentor—a social guardian! Ah! ves! Well! well! Henrietta is a good woman—an excellent woman. She quitted the stage to marry Pigeon, a solicitor, and he treated her badly—stole her sayings— abused her. She was justified in leaving him. I cross-examined him in court, and know all about it 1 But to think that Henrietta felt it to be her duty to remonstrate with Lillie on the subject of social propriety! I must really find out about this when I meet Henrietta."

DURING HER STAY HERE

Mrs. Pigeon stated that Pigeon had been convicted of some offense in England, and had left that country, or been sent out of it. Her son is at Oxford, England, where he expects to complete his education. Persons in New York who know have telegraphed here that Mrs. Labouchere's legal name is Pigeon. It seems to be probable that Richmond was selected as the place to apply for the divorce in this case on account of its size and the looseness of the laws in this state requiring a citizenship of the parties to such suits—a feature in the law which this case is likely to result in speedily correcting.

MRS. LANGTRY.

The Curious Philixtelphiang See Mrs. Langtry for Nothing. Special Dispatch to the Chicago Tribune,

PHILADELPHIA, Dec., 20.—Mrs. Langtry, who has remained secluded in her apartments at the Bellevue hotel dur ing the morning, stepped out on to Broad street at 1 this afternoon ac companied by Mr. Frederick Gebhardt, of New York, who had arrived the night before, and a Mr. Richard Peters. The trio, Mrs. Langtry forming the central figure, walked briskly along until reaching Chestnut street, down which thoroughfare they turned. Mrs Langtry looked cheerful and happy, and now and again the little party paused to survey the temjvtinjj wares laid out in glittering profusion in the windows of the stores. In passing the Continental hotel, Mrs. Langtry was recognized by the passers-by, and before the corner of Eighth and Chestnut streets were reached a hundred men and women were struggling to get a good view of her face. With the view presumably of getting rid of the curious throng that rapidly swelled in numbers and volume, the party turned down Eighth street. The cry "THERE GOES MRS. LANGTRY however, attracted idlers from all directions, and, as the comer of Sanson street was reached^ the band for a neighboring place of amusement struck up a lively air. Owing to the ever increasing number of people that now fairly hemmed in the party, progression began to be no easv matter. As Walnut street was reached a car happened to be passing, and Mr. Gebhardt, see ing probably that it was hopelej0 *0 continue w»,tir° ,:"" nelped his „i.»rge on to the platform, and the party took their seats in the car. On returning to the hotel Mrs. Langtry and her escort lunched in the public dining room, and a carriage having been ordered in the interim they went out for a drive. Throughout the day both Mrs. Langtry and Mr. Gebhardt peremptorily declined to receive representatives of the press. In conversation with an acquaintance Mr. Gebhardt said incidentally that there was not a word of truth in the statements that had been published relative to his exclusion from any portion of the theater at Boston. He had never seen Mr. Stetson in his life, he added, and did not know him. Nevertheless, Mrs. Langtry has received no social recognition here. The house has been packed to the doors every night. Special to the Cincinnati Commercial

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 20.—The discovery of Mr. Fred Gebhart's name upon the register of the Hotel Bellevue, where 5lrs. Langtry is stopping, caused a thrill of excitement in society circles this morning that was not allayed when it was found that they had" breakfasted together. Mrs. Langtry's rooms are on the first.floor, and Mr. Gebhart's are located'upon the floor above, near the head of the 6tairs. The occupants of the hotel from gossiping soon became greatly excited. One gentleman went so far as to say that ho wduld request the proprietor to warn the pair to leave the house. An inkling of this fact coming to the ears of the proprietor, Boldt, he retired to an inner sanctum and remained invisible all day, and it was currently reported that he meditated suicide as the easiest way of solving what he ought to do under the circumstances
