A month ago when the delegates were being chosen the Blaine boom swept the country. Now that the delegates have been chosen and the party is giving its best thought to the choice of a candidate, the Arthur loom, without any great rushing sound, is steadily moying ahead. It has the advantage in the fact that it will reach its greatest force about Tuesday, June 3d.

The Cincinnati Commercial Gazette has been leaning toward Blaine up to this time. Therefore the following paragraph has more significance than it otherwise would have:

The increased interest in behalf of President Arthur means that the coun'.ry at this time demands a conservative, levelheaded nun for president. This is the only kind of a man that could be elected. With such a man the Republican party would be sure to succeed.

There was a fitting climax in the seating of young English in the 1 touse yesterday. The appearance of the father, Win. H. English, on the floor of the house for a few weeks past lobbying in his son's behalf had attracted the attention of the country. As an ex-member of the house he is entitled to the privilege of the floor, but not to advocate any claim pending before the house. Mr. Horr, of Michigan called attention to the violation of this

privilege and tb6 Dt mocrata defended the late candidate for vice president on the groand that he was doing no more than any father ought to do for hie son—completely hogging the question. After the eon had been given a seat to which he had no title the house ordered an investigation of the charges against the father.

One of the most distressing features of the exposure of dishonest practices by men who previously stood high in the financial world is the general lack of confidence in the integrity of rich men and the constant suspicion that in their dealings they lie to each other and to the public. Here is Vanderbilt, a man whose wealth is estimated at $200,000,000 and whose statements are regarded as true only when corroborated by circumstances or well known facts in the matter at issue. He arrived in London Tuesday and was on the ocean when the panic oc curred in New York. What he had to say about the panic was cabled to this country and the views were those that would naturally be expected from a man who despised such dishoneBty as revealed in the recent failures. He was philosophic, however, and hoped the exposure would prove a good les son to people to avoid speculation and to be content with earning money in the legitimate channels. But with this cabled interview there came another dispatch which was to the effect that Vanderbilt organ ized the raid that he timed his departure from New York very skillfully that his hand might not be seen in the transaction that his fellow passengers were struck with his Apparent expectancy of the deluge of cablegrams handed him when he reached Queenstown, and that he smiled very significantly when he read them, especially the satisfaction he could not conceal when lie read those telling of the turn ble in Lake Shore stock, which it is now known his agents purchased on the London Exchange in large quanti ties when the price went down and upon orders cabled by him the day he sailed from this country. When man of his standing before the coun try is so looked upon by the people that his word goes for naught and such things as related above are freely published in reliable newspapers without exciting indignation, but rather meet with an ap proval of one's own suspicion, is, we think, as deplorable and discouraging feature of the panic as has been developed. Why should the richest man in the world resort to such means to increase his great wealth. Posses sion increases the desire for wealth no doubt, but does it dwarf a man's better nature to this extent? Why can't a man with Vanderbilt's wealth establish such a reputation for veracity that his word would be beyond ques tion. Certainly if any one can be veracious and honest sucii a man can Becky Sharp thought any one could be virtuous on ten thousand a year. Vanderbilt ought to be honest and truthful with ten times ten thousand a year.

Oar English Critic

Modern Age for May. Sir Leper Griffin's articles on Amercan politics and social institutions (one of which we reprint in this number), have been the subject of not a little reviling and a considerable ridicule on the part of our newspapers. Of course it is not flattering to our national pride to be made the subject of criticism, where the tone assumed is one of superiority, and where we are dissected with a roughness which is almost brutal. We would be more ready to see and acknowledge the justness of the strictures if they were accompanied by a little gentleness of handling which should indicate some dference to our feelings. It is the manner of the criticwhich has galled the pride of our paragraphers and kept them from seeing that thestatements in these articles are for the most part correct, and are the fruit of close and accurate observation. We do not think that anyone acquainted with the way politics are conducted in our large cities would attempt to

r,

deny the truth to life of the wretched picture which the Englishman gives us. We may feel like arguing with him over some of the conclusions he draws from hie facts, and some of the prophecies i»i which hs indulges, but it would be more sensible to ponder over his statements, accept them, as honest if not flattering, and put ourselves to the task of helping to remove the abuses which he describes.

THE MAGAZINES.

The June number of Harper's Magazine brings with it the breath of summer in two of its descriptive papers. One of these, "Biarritz,' by Lucy C. Lillie, is full of the charm and romance of the Basque coast, and is beautifully illustrated by C. S. Reinhart the other, "The North Shore," by John A. Butler, illustrated by Charles Graham, describes the north shore of Lake Superior, and gives a delightful retrospect of the old voayagers and fur traders. Among the other illustrated articles are "Sheffield," "The New York Custom House," Mr. Roe's "Nature'sSerial Story," and "The Great Western March." Colonel Higginson, in his chapter on John Quincy Adams' Administration, gives not only an interesting glimpse of Washington society in that period, but also a comprehens ive review of the national progress, and of the great western marcli of the center of population. An interesting feature of this chapter is its consideration of the attitude of the president and his predecessors toward internal improvements. The paper is illustrated by two full-page portraits—of John Qoincy

Adams and John C. Calhoun. The June Atlantic brings the end of "A Roman Singer," Mr. Crawford's best Btory, and one of the best serials the Atlantic has ever printed, and_two additional chapters of Dr. Weir Mitch ell'a excellent story, "In War Time," Richard Grant White has a second paper on "The Anatomizing of William Shakspeare," in which he pays his pungent respects to a recent critic of the Riverside Shakspeare. Rev. J. Wood writes of "The Trail of the Sea Serpent," showing what it is and where it has been seen. Two political articles of timely interest are "The New Party," by J. Laurence Laughlin, and a letter from "An Old War Horse to Young Politician." by William K. Mc Elroy. O. F. Frothingham writes of "Washington as it Should Be Dr, Holmes pays a brief but hearty tribute to the late Thomas Gold Appleton. brother-in-law of Mr. Longfellow D, O. Kellogg discusses "Penury not Pau perism Oliver Thorne Miller writes of the thrush, "The Bird of Solitude the short story, "Wentworth's Crime, is by Frank Parks an anonymous writer describes "Paris Classical Con certs there are poems by Dr. T. W, Parsons and Mrs. Piatt and reviews of important new books, with a good Contributors' Club, conclude a very excellent number.

The June Century is one of the best numbers of this always entertaining and artistically attractive magazine The frontispiece is an engraving of St. Gaudens' statue of Robert Richard Randall, founder of the heme for disabled seamen on Staten Island known as Sailors' Snug Harbor. An accom panyiug sketch contains many sailors' yarns and anecdotes nbout the old tars that have found a safe anchorage here, The "Diary of an American Girl Cairo," during the war in E ypttwo yeare ago, will be read with interest. Julian Hawthorne contributes a paper on '-American Wild Animals in Art," which is appropriately illustrated, and Mr. S. G. W. Benjamin writes of picturesque "Franch-American Seaport." Dr. Eggleston contributes paper on "Commerce in the Colonies, which is illustrated with facsimiles of old engravings and a complete set of colonial coins. Rev, Washington Glad den's article on "The Use and Abuse of Parties," and the editorials on the Cincinnati riot and the militia are especially timely and deserving the attention of thoughtful readers.

The North American Review for June opens with an article on "Harboring Conspiracy," by Professor Henry Wade Rogers, who examines, in the history of the United States and the national constitution, the question as to how far our government may and must go in suppressing plots against governments with which we are at peace. Henry D. Lloyd in the same number of the Review, shows how every branch of production, is coming under the control of "Lords of Industry," corporations and monopo liep. Elizabeth Stuart Phelps has an article marked by rare philosophical force upon the "Struggle for Immortality." Other articles of not less im portance are: "Sociological Fallacies," by Prof. W. G. Sumner, "The Rise and Fall of Authority," by President J. Welling "Walt Whitman," by Walker Kennedy and a symposium on "Expert Testimony," by Rossiter Johnson, Dr. W, W. Godding, T. O'Connor Sloane and Dr. Charles L. Dana.

The June Popular Science Monthly is a nitmber of especial excellence. The series of articles from the first of living sociologists, Herbert 8pencer, is continued, and he has probably never written anything more pertinent, powerful and conclusive than this sec ond poperon "The Sins of Legislators." "Evolution and Dissolution of the Nervous System," by Dr. J. Hughlings Jackson, is a remarkble article from ti novelty and importance of its phy siological views, and is elaborately dis cussed by the editor of the Monthly while an allied subject is considered in a thoughtful article entitled "Physiolo gy versus Metaphysics," by Walter Walshe, M. D. "The Pole and Wire Evil," by Oliver E. Lyman, a New York lawyer, is an examination of the legal aspect of the nuisance which has grown up with the rapidly increasing use of electricity.

The new cover of the Manhattan which adorns the June number, is al that was promised in the way of beauty, and should satisfy the most captious critic. Ernest Ingersoll continues bis interesting stories upon western travel II. F. Keenan's anonymous novel, "Trajan," of which it is shrewdly guessed the author is the hero, is continued, and loses no interest in the progress. Celia Thaxter and Louise Chandler Moulten furnish some charming poems.

The Current has purchased from Edgar Fawcett, the poet-novelist of New York, a serial, whose publication will shortly be begun, entitled "Mildred Allaire." The scenes of the story are laid in Virginia during the war. The incidents have well-sustained dramatic excellence, and the novel, which contains all tbe elements for a strong play, possesses not only extraordinary interest, but unusual excellence in analytic illustration of character. The motive of the Btory is developed in the noble sacrifice by the heroine of her own happiness to another's.

PLUNGER WALTON HORSEWHIPPED.

A Veterinary Surgeon's Wrath. London Special Cablegram. "Plunger'' Walton has received another horsewhipping. This time the drubbing was administered not by Sir John Astley, but by a German-Ameri-can named Loffier, a veterinary surgeon, who makes horse dentistry his specialty. Mr. Walton's famous mare Girofle recently became vicious, went "off her feed" and took to cribbing. Mr. Loffler being called in, decided that the trouble was with the animal's teeth, and took her to his own place to egect a cure. He was completely successful in thife. It happened that during the time Girofle was at Loffler's place she became attached to a pony belonging to him to such an extent that she followed the pony all about the place, caressing and romping with him as though he were her own foal. Mr. Loffler yesterday returned Girofle completely cured of viciousness and cribbing propensity.

A dispute about the bill for his services arose, some ugly epithets were exchanged, Mr. Walton got very angry, and finally he struck the horse doctor on the nose. Mr. Loffler held ia his band a stout riding whip, retorted by stoutly belaboring the Plunger on the head and shoulders with that weapon. The fight continued for ten minutes, one of the longest on record between uncostnmed gentlemen. Mr. Walton made prettv use of his fists, but on the got rather the worst of the battle. At the end of ten minutes some policemen arrived and separated the combatants, much to the satisfaction of Mr. Walton, who was quite badly used up at the termination of the affray. The plunger swears that he will have revenge and threatens a criminal prosecution for assault and battery, as well as a civil suit for damages. Mr. Loffler is equally eager for satisfaction, and proposes to take a unique revenge by stationing his pony close to the rails during the next race in which Girofle runs. He says that Girofle will be certain to stop and caress the pony, and so be thrown out of the contest. Loffler Bays he will repeat hiB experiment every time that Girofle runs, and declares that the American plunger will have to kill him or his pony in order to ever win another race in England with Girofle.

A Dress Coat. Stops on ifilopement. New York Herald. They had just reached the corner of Sixth avenue and Twenty-third street last evening about 7 o'clock. He was a tall, awkward youth, with red hair, and a dress suit much too lurge for him horizontally and as much too short perpendicularly. Shewasavery young and vfery pretty girl, with fluffy brown hair and a vived blush on her round cheeks. Just as they reached the corner a stout irascible-looking man, who was running to catch a Sixth avenue car, collided with the tall youth, and went backward against the lamp poet, with great force. "Con—found you!" he gasped, holding his hand to his stomach, "why, don't you look out—hello—why, what are you doing here?" he ended abruptly, as he stared at the other.

The tall youth stammered some inaudible reply, and looked around as if he wanted to run away, while his companion showed premonitory symptoms of fainting. "And what—on—earth are you doing down here, with a dress coat on—you don't own one, that I'm certain of," continued the stout gentleman as his eye caught the peculiar cut of the youth's attire. Then, as if seized with a sudden inspiration, he grasped him by the shoulder and turned up the collar of the coat and looked at the name of the maker beneath it. "You would, would you—take my dreBS suit and wear it without my permission. Didn't I tell you yesterday you couldn't take it? Come home with me, you young rascal," and he dragged the youth, unresisting, across the street.

The girl stood motionless for a mo ment, staring after them with dilated eyes, and then she burst into tears, motherly looking lady who ws-s passing and had witnessed the capture of her escort, asked her what was the matter. "John—and I—w-were going to get married," she sobbed, "and his liorhorrid uncle says that he WHS wearing his d-dress suit, and h-has taken him h-o-o-ine"—and she began to weep hysterically.

The lady led her away, and after much persuasion succeeded in quiet ing her a little and persuading her to take the road for home.

Sargent in a Suppressed State. London World. I had the pleasure the other evening of some conversation with Mr. Sargent the United States Minister at Berlin who has had the pleasure to beard the bully of Europe in his den. He is a quiet, reserved man, giving one the idea of much concentrated power. He is naturally reticent as to the disputes in which he has borne so prominent a part, as he is only on leave just now and lias to return to Berlin to demand his passport. Once ..free, he will, imagine, liberate his soul. Mr. Sargeant was the guest of Mr. Henry Gillig, the proprietor of that well known "bureau" which, both in London and Paris, is so much appreciated as a home by wandering Americans.

POISON OAK

Seems to yield every time to treatment with Swift's Specific. BPARTANBURO, 8. C., March 13. 1884.

Your most valuable medicine (Swiff Specific) has done me so much good that I feel like saying this for the benefit of those who suffer like 1 did. I was poisoned by poison oak, and saw not a well day for six years, until I used Swift's Specific. In the six years I used almost every kind of medicine, but none had tbe desired effect. After using six bottles of Swift's Speolflc 1 am restored to perfect health—with not a klgn of that awful poison left! Yours trulv.

DAVID NESBITT.

POISON OAK. I had for thirty-eight years suffered every spring and summer with Poison Oak, which I contracted in bathing when a boy. I tried everything for It, including jy physicians, but without any bene-

I took six bottles of Swift's Specific (8. S. 8.) four years ago, and It oured me sound and well. Three summers have passed, and 1 have had no retnrn of it.
