The Morrison boom seems to gather force fast and is rapidly surpassing the .McDonald one which had a year or so the start.

Tlie St. Louis ilobe-Jemocrat says it "is now payinjr more money for the collection and transmission of telegraphic news from all parts of the world than is paid by any newspaper in any city of the world, New York and London not excepted." And yet we hear of the wonderful enterprise some of the eastern newspapers which do not publish on an average one-half the variety of news or go to one-half the expense incurred by the big dailies of the western cities.

Among the S00 bills introduced in congress, Monday, were a number from the old stock carried over from many congresses, and that have served to turn many pennies in many ways in years gone by. The football of the house, the bill for the forfeiture of 'and grants to certain railroads, was allied in, and we are informed "action will soon be taken." That is very true hut it won't he final action. This bill oin he "acted" upon more times and to

Mr. Cox, in pleading for National interference in the case of O'Donnell, closed his remarks as a woman does a long letter with the pith of the occasion in a few words by reminding the President that there were many Irish constituents in this country. Mr. I lewitt, of New York, offered in the House Monday a resolution asking the President to request the Knglish government to delay O'Ponnell's execution. The resolution passed without an objection. "I would have given my check for *1,000 if some Republican had objected,'" said Mr. Hewitt afterward. The fact is, if O'Donnell killed Carey in self-defense, his legion of friends and worshipers have themselves to blame for not at first making that the defense, and if he is an American citizen. this should have been definitely ascertained before this time, so that it might have had whatever weight possible in his behalf. But overlooking both these inconsistencies, what a pitiable plight our Democratic friends are discovered to lies in. While "honest indignation" and "sympathy" ever-j onie them, thev still retain enough cunning to utiliz iu a feeble wav. the II ish sentiment for partisan purposes, us we st'e il!ut.. t,.,i jn t)-(. action of Messrs.

wenty-tive me same rate miracles preferred to repudiate all tesand in add moil *,hu®b^J timony as to the cures, assuming the instances were violations of natural law. The Tribune adds that modern science does not need to take Hume's easy, but irrational, method to get rid of miraculous cures. "It does not deny," says the Tribune, "their reality. It simply shows that all such marvels can be produced by the natural influence of the mind upon the body. The secret of all these modern miracles, in fact, is what Dr. Carpenter calls 'expectant attentiona better and more scientific definition, of this agency than that of faith or imagination. The possibilities of this agency are very great. It is quite capable of effecting structural changes of arresting the disorganization of tissues of putting a stop to morbid processes of restoring healthy normal action in short, of curing many forms of disease. The fact that similar cures have taken place, whatever the alleged origin of the curative influence that is to say, under fie name of lteligion, both Catholic and

our Irish friends have been cursed with tiaitors in their own land. Now that the Democratic demagogues in this country have according to their habit of using any and all things that could possibly boost tlieiu into power grabbed at the Irish sentiment for their own, the tate of the sons of the ould sod does indeed seeui to be very hard.

"Faith Cures," "Prayer Cures" and like modern miracles are becoming common, so common in fact that Ihev are not miracles. They are being discussed by the scientific and the daily press, and of course are being easily accounted for upon some other ground than that which gives them their publicity*. The New York Tribune recalls that Hume in his essay on

Protestant, under the name of Mesmerism, under the name of Spiritualism and under divers other designations, ought long since to have convinced careful observers that a common law was at the bottom of all these phenomena. That this is the explanation of modern miracles there is no reason any longer to doubt. The events themselves do occur. It. is not necessary to account for them by assuming all concerned to be fools and liars. The simple truth is that the influence of expectant attention fully explains everything. This agency has been known to arrest the vital processes completely, and if it can destroy, there is no reason why it should not be able to build up. All physicians know that the expectation of recovery is more than half the battle in dealing with sickness. Confidence will do more than drugs, and despondency will counteract the utmost therapeutic skill. The world is full of miracles of this kind, and always has been, and it is precisely because there is a basis of truth to the pretensions of all who pretend to effect cures without medicine that they are able to hold their own, and to defy the arrogant sciolism which, following in Hume's footsteps, sets down everythng as impossible which it does not understand."

The telegraphic reports of course could not give the titles of all the bills introduced, but we will wager a red apple that in the list will be found the bill to reduce the tariff over the Omaha bridge, a bill whose annual defeat is said to cost the railroad companies froiu $00,000 to 5100,000. There is no doubt this latter measure Bhould become a law, but when its movers intend it to g.i only so far it is natural to see it bobbing around each congress. The same might be said of the land grant bill, perhaps. There is no doubt that nearly if not all, the land grant roads have actually forfeited the lands by failing to comply with the terms of the grants, but no one expects the forfeiture to be declared by the government. Consequently the agitation merely causes stock fluctuations as any wild report circulated on Wall street will do.

Any theater could afford to pay Beecher a big salary to go twice a week and tak a box.

AMUSEMENTS.

Pique.

To-night Jane Combs appears at tlie Opera house in the character of Mabel Renfrew in Pigue. There is much in the play of "Pique" to interest the mind aiid aftect the feelings. It opens —in its story of a capricious marriage and the consequences of acting from pique rather than principle—a vista of comedy, and, though it leaves that pathway untrodden to its last limit, and though it somewhat disregards probability in its subsequent dealing with the actual in metropolitan life, it presents in its closing scenes some of the most exciting and effective exnedi ents of melo-drama that have been used on the stage in the present theatrical period. It contains some excellent contrasts of character and some uncommonly bright and pointed writing.

Lights o' London.

To-morrow and the following two nights the great London sensation will be presented, of which it was written in Cleveland: "This piece, like most plays which give satisfaction, advertises itself, and gains in popular favor the longer it remains. The incomparable scenery and satisfactory acting are sufficient to commend it. No further assurance is required that it will have full houses during the entire week, which is something that few plays can achieve. This result is proof of the strong hold which scenic effect lias upon the masses."

"1 see that an Ohio postmistress has resigned her position in order to get married," remarked an old benedict to his wife. "Poor thing! I pity her,"' said the helpmeet. "Why so?" "Becauw, after the honeymoon is over, she'll have to sit np nearly every night both and wait till the male comes in."

The Animal's Vicioosness Iajral*« ttf General's Son in a Lawsuit. New York Special.

John Piatt Bailey, a milkfloaA, of North Salem, Westchester county, has brought a suit in the supreme court against UlysBes 8. Grant, Jr., for $10,000 damages. It is alleged that Mr. Grant keeps a vicious horse, and that on March 1st last the horse inflicted personal injuries upon Mr. Bailey from which bo is still suffering, and from which he never exptcts to recover. The horse complained of is one of the Arabian stallions presented to General Grant by the Khedive of Egypt. The horfe is kept upon the farm of the defendant in Westchester county.

On the day complained of Mr. Grant's foreman rode the horsa to tlie village of North Halem, leaving the animal hitched to a post. The horse slipped the bridal off his head, and attacked Mr. Baily, who was driving through the town with a load, of ncilk, The animal put his fore feet into the wagon, striking Mr. Bailey on the breast with his hoofs. He then upset the wagon, spilling all the milk, and kicked the vehicle to smithereens. Then he pawed Mr. Bailey, attacked the milkman's horse and caused hifia to run away. Mr. Bailey was confined to his bed" over three months, and complains that since the attack he lias not been able to do any work.

When claim for damages was made against Mr. Grant, Mr. Bailey says Mr. Grant offered to pay for tne wagon, the milk and for the plaintiff's medical attendance. This offer was refused, and, unable, to obtain any satisfactory settlement, the suit was brought yesterday by Mr. A. J. Hyatt, counsel for Mr. Bailey, and the summons were served.

Mr. Grant has retained Messrs.Close & Robertson (Collector Robertson's firm) to defend him, and it is understood that the defense is to be that General Grant, and not his son, owns the horse. In this event Mr. Hyatt says he shall sue the General himself.

TIIJjOTSON.

Death of an Old Mau Who Was Here in Karly Days—Eight Octogenarians Attend Bis Funeral.

Many of our older citizens will remember Levi Tillotson, who was here years ago. He has a sister in this city, residing at 30!) south Third street. Another sister, Mrs. Lidia Potts, lives at Woodman, Wis., and a brother George, at Osceola, Iowa. The Ontario (N. Y.) Messenger, published at Mr. Tillotson^ late home, has the following concerning liis death:

TJLLOTSON—Died, at his late residence in this villsge, October 12th, 1883, Levi Tillotson, in the 83d year of his age.

He was at the time of his death tlie oldest native resident of the town, having been born here May 31st, 1801. He possessed fine social qualities, and was a good financier and a practical busi ness man. He was a good judge of law, and with legal training would have ranked among the first in that profession. During the war of 1812, at the early age of eleven years, he accompanied his father and his uncle Bradford Hickox to Buffalo, to carry supplies to the array, driving one of the teams. He went into business for himself when only sixteen, but dated his first real start in life to buying a field of wlieat, getting it harvested, and taking the flour to Albany and selling it at an advanced rate. On his return he loaded his wagons with goods for the merchants here—making the trip a pecuniary success, and foreshadowing his commercial success in later years. At the age of nineteen he married Jerusha Reed, and moved to Terre Haute, Ind., whither his parents had preceded him, and where they were both stricken with malarial fever—the young bride finding a grave instead of the new home anticipated. Soon after his recovery Mr. T. bought grain and took it to New Orleans on a flat-boat, by way of the AVabash, Ohio and Mississippi rivers. On one occasion, receiving his pay in gold, the river being infested with robbers, he threw the money into a barrel filled with some worthless material, and rolling it upon the boat, he passed with it safely up the river. He then turned his attention to buying wild horses, which had been lassoed by the French and Indians between Kaskaski and Vincennes, and drove them through to this state to market. Returning to Terre Haute, he procured a guide of the Pottawatomie tribe, who Bpoke fourdifferent Indian dialects, and trafficked in furs for four years. His mode of trade was to lay down so many blankets, so much powder and so many beads, and the Indians would lay down as many skins as they would give in return. These were sold in Chicago, to an agent of John Jacob Astor. Here was laid the foundation for the fortune wnich afterwards grew to such ample proportions. Mr. Tillotson always

Indians, saying that the whites were the first to break faith. We next find him in Canandaigua, interested in the pioneer line of stages running from Albany to Buffalo. He changed his residence to the latter place at the age of 40, buying the "Constitution," a passenger steamer plying the lakes between Buffalo and Chicago. It might be of interest to note that for this boat he was once offered one-half of Michigan avenue in Chicago. In 1846 he built the steamer "Batlic," which made its first trip the following year, at the time of the river and harbor convention at Chicago. Wearying of commercial life, he retired to Canandaigua, which has since been his home. In his 80th year he took the personal supervision of building the block which bears his name upon one of the best business sites on Slain street. In February last he was stricken with paralysis, which disabled him physically, but left his intellect unimpaired. There were present at his funeral eight octogenearians—the oldest, Mr. Chauncey Morse, being in his 90th year, and Dr. Murray and Judge Taylor each in his 88th year.
