It is just as well the council took more time to consider the funding frill. ___

Senator Brown, of Georgia, a Democrat, says his party swapped off the presidency for the speakership.

The weather bulletiu says a cold wave is advancing on us. Let her come. Anything but a green Christmas.

Tho senate yesterday elected Republican officials for that body, a very proper thing to do at any and all times.

If there does come a reconciliation between Grant, Blaine and Conkling the Democrats better take to the woods.

The Globe-Democrat makes a good logical point in this: "When the white Democrats of the south resort to the shooting and killing of each other for political reasons only, as they did in New Orleans, Bliould the north be blamed for believing that they frequently massacre colored Republicans on similar grounds

The pope and the crown prince of Germany assured each other of their distinguished consideration yesterday, and the cable says the crown prince was deeply aflected. It may be remarked, however, that the emotions which sway the crown prince do not perforce swell the bosom of Bismarck, who is a "biger man" than the crown prince.

The police board has not yet investigated the conduct of the officers who were prevailed upon to release persons under arrest for robbery but the board has without the investigation required by law withdrawn the police powers of O'Reilly who is merely charged with not being subservient to one of the city officers who released the two men charged with robbery. It's a cracking old board.

The Chicago papers are discussing the price of the board of aldermen of that city. The News says the aldermen weie to have §100,000 divided, among them when a certain railroad ordinance became a law. The InterOcean declares this to be the largest price ever offered for an ordinance in that city, adding that ?25,000 is the usual price, or $1,000 per capita for the gang. Such discussions as this must bfe very refreshing pabulum for the tax payer. ________________

St. Louis is howling with anguish over the fact that after all the efforts to secure tho Mexican trade Chicago is taking it almost as a.matter oi course. It will be remembered that when the delegation of Mexican merchants and capitalists came up to see this country, and confer with the merchants of our cities St. Louis so manipulated the visit that the Mexican's proceeded no farther than St. Louis, making that city the distiuation of the journey. This at the time was considered a Very neat snub of Chicago. But now St. Louis is in a paroxvsism of rage because iu tho matter of trade with Mexico, says the Post-Dispatch, "our merchants are obliged to pay a half & cent a pound higher rates for freight than TV ere paid by Chicago for a longer haul. All attempts to deny or evade the disgrace of this situation are vain. No words can esprvps the depth of the humiliation it emphasizes. For the past four years St. Louis has been looking forward to the completion of railroad connections with Mexico, and preparing to enter upon the control of the vast and profitable trade that lay ready to our hand." Nothing quite so pitiful as this has appealed to the commiBseration of impartial outsiders in along time. We think Chicago denerves a severe reprimand.

l^ast spring Councilman McKeen, the Republican member of the council finance committee, and Mr. L. S. Briggs, suggested to Councilman Swafford, chairman of the finance committee, that it would bp well to bond the floating debt of !!«. city. Mr. Swafford sneered at ti* :ind would listen to no such i' lo and behold, the doctor di.l. Ui and attempt to profit by the advice. At the meeting cf the citv council previous to laat night's mecUng he

introduced a gotten up providing for the issuing of one htindred five hundred dollar bonds for refunding the city's floating debt. The ordinance was sprung with a suddenness that surprised even the Democratic members. Dr. Swafford wanted to gain the repntation of a great financier, and did not hesitate to profit by the suggestions of Messrs. McKeen and L. 8. Briggs. The ordinance was drawn by Mr. Thomas Anderson, a Democratic attorney. The doctor's pet scheme fell through last night. H« desired that it should be placed on its pjfsafw. Mr. Kolsem, Democrati'* member from the .Sixth ward, mov ii an amendment, which killed the doctor's mot ion, and forced it to lay over till the next meeting. The doctor also discovered, last evening, that the or lin^r.ce *.i-as drawn under an act of the gfiif.'ii i^semUv of 1877, when there is a later act, tho act of 1879, governing all sr.ch ordinances. Mr. Koleem'a moliau, ureatly to the chagrin of the wilny doctor, who had prided heretofore that he led the Democratic side, divided fhoD.imocratic majority.

CHALLENGE TO W. H. VANDERBILT.

Ofl'er to Knock XUm Out in Four Kounds of no Hour Eacli, Which He Bays He Will Accept. New York Special.

John Swinton, the champion heavy weight Socialist, has sent an open challenge to Win. II. Vnnderbilt, in which he offers to knock him out in four rounds of one hour each. The mill, if Mr. Yanderbilt will accept, is to take place af Madison Square Garden, the rent of which Mr. Swinton agrees to pay in advance out of his own pocket. Mr. Swinton alao guarantees that twenty thousand people will be present, including Captain Williams. "Mr. Swinton, what in the name of oodness do you mean V" was yesteray asked of the Socialist heavyweight. 'I mean just what I say that if Vanderbilt will meot

mo,

I will prove

inside of four hours that he is not legally entitled to the fortune of $200,100,0(H) that he holds. I offer to give him the first hour to open his defense, and I am to follow in the next hour. Another hour will then be given Yanderbilt for his rebuttal, after which I will take a short hour in which to wind him up." "Are any stages to be wagered?" "Yes on my side I stake the future welfare of the Democratic millions, who are determined to fight some day, if I don't do it for them. On Yanderbilt's side will be staked the success of a ring of rich speculators, armed with their points of a thousand million other millionairs strong in their millions, and the good will of & smiling, fashionable clergy." "Will there be anybody to take the part of seconds, as they are called in the real knocking-out business?" "I suppose Yanderbilt will have the assistance of a horde of skillful pettifoggers, hungry for a fee, and the wily Depew. As for me I shall go it alone.' "Mr. Yanderbilt, do von intend to accept this challenge of Mr.Swintons?" the millionaire was asked. "Oh, of course. Good night."

AN ASTOUNDING CHARGE.

Suit for 9100,000 Damages Against Babbitt, tho Soap Man—He is Charged With a Conspiracy to Ruin a Young

Girl.

Xew York Special.

Last night euit was brought by Richard W. Peck against JJenj. T. Babbitt the soap man, tor $100,000 damages. When Babbitt's clerk was discovered to have filched §250,000, Mrs. Ellen Peck, Babbitt .says, offered her services as a detective, representing that she could get the money back. Thereupon Babbitt advanced her, he says, $19,000 for expenses but she failed to apply it to the purpose. He sued her to recover it, making her husband a party, but afterwards withdrew the suit, without an explanation, when the husband brought the present suit.

The complaint against Babbitt is of an astonishing character. He is charged with having formed a plan to seduce the young and beautiful daughter of Mr" Peck. To accomplish this he gave large sums of money to Mrs. Peck, ostensibly to procure "her aid in recovering the inonev his clerk had embezzled, but his real purpose was to buy tho mother. It is also charged that Babbitt ofi'ered the young girl a large sum of money if she would yield to him, which she"refused to do. He then sought to harress the family with lawsuits.

This portion of the complaint was ordered stricken out as scandalous by the special term of the Supreme court, but Chief Justice Barnard in general term to-day reversed the order striking out. Babbitt will be compelled to stand trial on this charge.

Mrs. Feck has been arrested several times on criminal charges. At the present moment there are ascainst her thirteen untried indictments for alleged grand larceny, and twelve untried indictments for obtaining goods under false pretense. She was tried on one indictment for the grand larceny of a watch and acquitted.

All tho above indictments were found by tho grand jury on April 17th, 1S79, on charges preferred by the late John Gray, diamond peddler. On January 19th, 1SS3, she was indicted for misdemeanor in disposing of a piano, which it was alleged she had hirea from the complainant. The indictmcnt has not been tried.

Fashions from the East.

The statement is rather vague, and it is not explained whether the modern "chimney-pot" hat or the swallow-tailed coat or evening dress is included in the discovery but it is affirmed that engravings on the ancient rocks of Persepolis and the comparatively later monuments of the Take Bastan show that Persians of ancient times wore the Englishman's "short tunics, pantaloons and boots." It is added that several ancient figures of Zoroaster are clad in cosumes which closely resemble modern English fashions.
