FOREIGN KEWS OF ALL SORTS

London Gas-Workers Fear Their Employers In tend to Lock Oat Union Men. The Pope In aDilemma Over Appointing a Cardinal Deaths in Ireland from Lack of Food Cuban Tariff Suspended bj Spain. SpecU! to the Infiiana polls Journal. London, Oct. 5. Three thousand gasworkers met at "Woolwich to-day and formally declared that the suspicions of the gas-light and coke company that they intended to strike were absolutely unfounded. Resolutions were adopted deprecating the action of the company in erecting barracks for contemplated now employes, and in securing the presence of the military in anticipation of a strike. The truth is that the men are afraid that these preparations are for a ditlerent purpose than is announced. They are apprehensive lest an attempt is about to be made to force all union men to leave the company's employ and thus break np the organization. A dispatch from Melbourne, Australia, represents that the strike there is still in progress, and no settlement has been arrived at, though the number of non-union laborers is increasing. The strikers telefrapb. asking British workingmen not to ehere vague rumors, and that funds are required to insure success. The Fop in a Dilemma. Special to tLe Indianapolis Journal. London, Oct. 5.Advices from Rome state that the British Ministry, through its friends in that city, is bringing all the influence possible to bear upon the Pontiff against the bestowal of a cardinal's hat upon Archbishop Walsh of Ireland. The effect of these appeals is not known, but it is said that the Pope is deeply perplexed, as between the British government and the Irish people. It is claimed, on behalf of the British government, that the elevation. of the Archbishop at this time would be art expression of approval on the part of Rome of the prelate's course in sanctioning the .National' League agitation 'and the blan of campaign, which have . heretofore been condemned by the Holy Bee. It is rumored in Rome that the opponents of Archbishop Walsh have obtained assurance . that he will not be promoted for some time to come, if over. Deaths from Lack of Proper Food Special to the Indianapolis Journal. London, Oct. 5. Several deaths are reported from the Island of Achill, on the west coast of Ireland, owing to a lack of proper food, and indirectly to the failure of the potato crop.

Mr. Parnell will not bo present at the conference of the Nationalist leaders at Dublin to-morrow. Mr. Justin McCarthy will preside over the body and will outline Mr. Parnell's views. It :s understood that resolutions will be adopted denouncing the government for its failure to take stops toward mitigating the evils of deficient food supply in Ireland, and for its prosecution of O'Brien, Dillon and others at Tipperary. Spain "Will Make Overtures for Reciprocity. Madrid, Oct. 5. A rumor is current here that the Spanish government intends to enter into negotiations with the United States government for reciprocal concessions touching Cuban and American products. It is also said that the government has instructed its agents abroad to notify the home authorities of any measures that may be taken by foreign governments with respect to the new United States tariff law. The Cabinet yesterday discussed tho United States tariff law and decided to suspend the application of the new Cuban tariff until a satisfactory reply had been received from America to representations which the Spanish minister has been instructed to make to the United States goveminent. . Trampled by a Ball. Munich, Oct. 5. There was an exciting scene at the annual fete to-day.

The police force has also been increased. II ay 1 1 Ripe for Another Revolution. . Special to the Indianapolis Journal. London, Oct. 5. A dispatch from Kingston, Jamaica, represents that another revolution is apprehended in Hayti; that the financial condition of the republic is unsatisfactory, and that the exports show 'an alarming decrease of trudo, owing partly to the decrease' of production during the recent warfare. Coolies are to be imported to cultivate neglected plantations. . Drowning of Russian Soldiers' Confirmed. Berlin, Oct. 5. The Vossische Zoitung asserts it has received positive confirmation of the report of the dro wning of Gen.

Tho Comte de Paris ha9 sent a cable dispatch to friends in Paris, saying that he was profoundly touched by the warm welcome he received in America. Steel raibi are now being manufactured on a small scale in Mexico. They are of excellent quality, and an immense plant will soon bo established at Zimapa. President Diaz, of Mexico, rides daily through the streets and woods. The free way in which he exposes himself shows that ho discredits the rumors of plots against his life. The revolutionary party in the Canton of Ticini, Switzerland, has won a victory on tho question of a revision of tho Constitution. Tho popular vote shows 11,928 for and 11.S34 against revision. iN The Austrian papers teem with angry articles concerning tho American tariff. They contain more denunciation than criticism. Tho. government .is making efforts to allay the excitement. The body of the man Easton, who shot himself in St, Paul's Cathedral last week, was cremated at Wokin on Saturday.

EXPRESS E3IPEOTES.

How tho Managers of tho American Company Deal with Their Men. "tf ew York World. 'Its business," said Secretary M. F. Berry, of the American Express Company, "is based on mutual confidence, which has never been shaken." This company has at its head a man who has given tho close attention of a lifetime to the express business, who is still so interested in tho details of the service and tho welfare of the army of employes, that hono of his other interests are allowed to interfere with the smallest question that bears on tho harmony of the organization ho directs. One of the officials outlined the company's system tbu'?: 'No employe of the American Express Company who has served it any length of time is dropped absolutely, except for a positive lack of fidelity to his employers. An old employe may become careless or indifferent, so much so that he is a detriment to the serviee, but he is never turned adrift A younger man will be put in his place, while he goes on the books as a pensioner." "No retired employe receives less than $.i00 a 3ear. The retirement pay varies from one-half to two-thirds of the salary paid during actual service. In the case of messengers this is simply common human-; ity. When a man has traveled constantly day and night for fifteen or twenty years he is almost certain to sutler from it. His system cets shaken up. Muscular rheumatism benumbs his limbs and makes him slow and uncertain of movement He is no longer a valuable messenger: but he has given his bone and sinew to his employers, as well as his honest effort and fidelity, and it is no more than just that these employers should mako his future free from want. The same is true with agents' in. small places all over the country. After a while they get slow and fail to Rive the publio good service. Thoy chould bo retired on a pension and younger men put in their places. 'There is only one labor organization acknowledged by our employes. They all belong to it, heads of departments, officers and stockholders as well, and it is called tho American Express Company. The highest aim of labor organization, as I understand it, is the general advancement of all their members. That is tho aim of our organization. The employes havo every confidence in the future, and the employers are assured of the best endeavor and fidelity of those who labor for them." When a young man is taken into tho service of the American Express Company he is asked whether he has any kind of insurance. If he has not he is required to get some it matters not what kind, provided it is good. The company is considering a plan to encourage saving among its employes, and has had in operation for a year a bonding scheme that has put many thousands of dollars in their pockets. Formerly, as many larger concerns do, the company had its men bonded by some one of the surety companies. This , cost a man earning $50 a month over. $12 a year. The officers of the American Express Company came to the conclusion that the men were paying too much for their bonds and tho surety company was getting too good a thing out of it So the men were informed that the company would sign their bonds at the same rate charged by the surety company, with the prospect of a large rebate at tho end of tho year. May 1, li&'J. this plan went into effect. A year later, after a rough estimate of losses through the dishonestj-or carelessness of employes had been made, tho men were given back 50 per cent of what they had paid, and two months later they received SO per cent more, making their bonds cost them only 20 per cent.' of what they had formerly paid. Thoy were,' in fact getting their bonds at cost price. The result was exhibited in the most cordial expressions from employes of confidence in the company, whatever it did, and in their willingness to perform extra duty during a stress of business. - ' SEVENTEEN SONS IN THE ARMY. Old Man Brandon Had Thirty-Five, and They Were Fighters. Philadelphia Telegraph. "If it came within the line of his inquiries," said W. C. Mover, of St Clairsville, W. VaM recently, "tlie census enumerator for Moundsville, near where I live, roust have found about as wonderful a domestic history as any enumerator will run against elsewhere in this country. I refer to a family by the name of Brandon. The father of that family, Charles -Bran don, died when he was ninety-six years old; but his youngest child was then less than a year old. He died just as the civil war broke out from a broken heart, his wife having refused to live with him any longer and brought suit for divorce against him. He had at that timo thirty-five living children, and he had been married three times. "His first wife bore him two children. His second wife died after bearing him eighteen. At the ace of seventy-five he married Sarah Barker, she being sixteen and the youngest of sixteen children. She lived with him twenty-one years, bearing him fifteen children, and then left him, taking her year-old baby with her, and sued for a divorce on tho gronnds of incompatibility of temper. Brandon was still hale and hearty, but the desertion of his wife broke him down, and he died within a month after she left him. "When his third wife married him the oldest of his twenty children by his'two previous wives was thirty-nine, and the entire twenty lived under tho paternal roof. The young wife reared all of the twenty that were young enough to need rearing, besides caring for the fifteen of her own, the oldest of whom was but twenty when she left their father. The family of thirtylive kept together for many years after their father's death, and if the patriarchal Brandon had lived a few months longer he would have seen seventeen of his sons enlist in the Union army. It is a question if in this or any other country an instance can be found where one family ever before contributed seventeen sons, to ...their country's service. Thero 'wero ! two Charleses and two Johns among these brothers. The names of the other thirteen were Simeon, Evans, Peter, Josephus, Hiram, James. Van Buren, Jacob. Abraham, Alexander, David, Andrew and Ruse. Besides these, three of Charles Brandon's sons served in tho Mexican war. The seventeen brothers wero all in Ohio and Indiana resiments. Two of them, one of the Johns and one of the Charleses, wero soivi of the third Mrs. Brandon. They were both taken prisoners at the battle of Chickaxnauga and placed in Andersonville prison. John died in tho prison. Charleswas there twenty-one montus, when he escaped. All the rest of the sons were children of the second wife. They wero in every important battle of the war, and all lived to get home when the war. was over except Peter, who was killed at Shiloh. "These boys ali came of good fighting stock, for their father was a famous Indian fighter himself, a veteran of the war of .1812 and of the Mexican war. When western Pennsylvania was the frontier and the Indian-fighter was the most important and indispensable person in the settlements, Charles Brandon, according to all tradition, was one of the host and most daring of ail the active foes of the red men. His father was killed by Indians when Charles was only three years old. He himself was made a prisoner, and lived with the Indians twelve years, hating them the mere the longer ho was with them. At the age of fifteen he escaped, and, after learning his mother tongue, spent all his time, until they were driven away to more remote settlements, in hunting and killing Indians. "He was fifty-one years of age when the war of 1812 broke out and he was one of the first to join tho American army, and was in it when peaco was declared. He was seventy-four when he enlisted in the Mexican war. "The third wifo of this virile old fighter is living at Moundsville, hale and hearty at tho ago of sixty-seven. Sho is over six feet high and as straight as an arrow. Of her thirty-five children and step-children 6he knows positively of the whereabouts of but fifteen. The rest are scattered about tho country and dead. The thirty-five children were all sons." Women and llaby-Talk. Ram's Horn. We don't know much about the sprites who people the bright hereafter and the beautiful beyond, but if the angels do not stand on tiptoe and listen with the closest kind of attention whenever a youngmother talks baby-talk to a big bunch of clothes containing a small lump of infinite possibility, we would like to know tho reason why. When a woman is rolling out babytalk faster than tire can eat up money she is no longer of the earth earthly, but becomes a being of light and love. For the moment you forget that her ways aro Past finding out and her whims many and diverse. You no longer remember that she may be at times spunky, cross-grained and snappish. You cease to cherish resentment on account of too much s.-ileratus in the biscuit or too littlo of gladsome nutriment

in other things incinerated to tasteless crisp. You hear nothing but the divine melody of love, and lorgct the maltreatment of language that carries the strain. You pause not to think that her words are weak, bow-legged and deformed. It is enough to know that they are strong alono in that which makes cold clay divine.' Love is tho brightest jewel in the crown of life, and in absolute purity it is probably the hardest to sequester. But when you find it with a baby cooing in its arms in response to grimaces that might scare a horse or make a cow hold up her milk, communing with a reckless volubility that defies all rules of speech, you can anchor a hope to the immovablo rock of certainty that 3'ou havo cornered it at last purified from all traco of selfishness. Nothing on earth is more incomprehensible to an able-bodied man than a woman talking baby-talk, and nothing is more fragrant with the buds that blossom in tho heart and grow into fruit treasured in paradise than that very same performance. THE COMPASS ON IRON SHIPS.

It Is a Sonrco of Ceaseless Anxiety, and No Remedy lias Yet Been Found. New York Star. 'Do you know," said Captain Fisher, of the British steamer Sirins, "that tho compass, on our iron vessels, is a source of endless trouble and anxiety? It seems strange that since the days of Marco Polo, in the thirteenth century, hardly any improvement has been made in the compass, and all the so-called patents have proved worthless as far as the safety of a ship is concerned. Nearly all the patented devices, after a brief, trial, have been aban doned, and the worst feature about tho whole thing is that just at tho time when yon have to almost absolutely rely upon your compass it proves to be of no earthly value." "Jn what way!" 'Vhy, it no longer determines the courso of your vessel. This is especially true of the action of the needle in the Chinese 6ea and Indian ocean during the typhoons, which so frequently visit these waters "The peculiarity of tho action of the compass on these occasions is that every time a squall strikes the ship the card will spin round aud round like a thing possessed. Eight points is nothing for a spin, and so there is nothing for it but to steer by the roll of the sea nnd the feel of the wind. Even after the typhoon has subsided, it takes hours for the needlo to become normal." "To what is this attributed generally!" The commonly received opinion is that the phenomenon is caused by the squalls being charged with electricity, which acts upon the magnet. There are many causes, however, which tend to render the compass unreliable upon iron vessels, and there is nothing for it but to have compasses carefully corrected and adjusted on every opportunity. The natural local variation and the deviation due td the magnetism of the vessel and the manner in which her cargo is stored must be carefully noted if a correct courso is to be steered. Even the very course to be steered should, if possible, have the compass error determined for it; for, strange as it may seem to a landsman, sometimes a vessel will show doviation on one course and none at all upon another. Even tho rays of tho moon concentrated upon the card can deflect the needle fully five points. Then, again, the magnetism of an iron vessel is not constant The plates of a ship become magnetic by the mere hammering upon them. When first launched, an iron, ship is a very strong magnet, but her magnetism gradually decreases. In iron steamships no two compasses agree, and all that can be done is to determine the error of one compass from the magnetic course, and so determine the error of the others.,, "Is there any remedy for this, captain!" "Well, the latest attempt to remedy it has been made by Lieutenant Diehl, naval superintendent of compasses, of your service, who, together with his assistant. Ensign Gilbert, has invented a compass designed to, by compensating magnets, overcome the local magnetism of the ship. The invention has yet to be practically tested. ''By the way," continued Captain Fisher, "I read in a paper once that when the right of discovery in America was given by Rome to the crown of Spain, at the request of Columbus, the line of no variation was established as the boundary beyond which all discoveries should belong to Spain. At that time the line of no variation was in the Atlantic ocean. Now it is near Pittsburg, Pa. Quite a change, eh?" m ' A STORY OF SHERIDAN. Ills Wit Was Equal to an Emergency When His Troops Met the Mexicans. October Century. While the United States was engaged in the great civil war, Franco and Austria took advantage of our comparatively helpless condition to attempt the conquest of Mexico, with a view to construct a new empire there under Maximilian. General Grant wes opposed to this policy, and after Appomattox sent Sheridan with an army to the lower Rio Grande to observe the movements of the foreigners, and to be in readiness to intervene whenever Congress gave permission. An orderly woke the Colonel soon after liaylight one morning and urged him to go down to the bank of the river, as something remarkable was going on there. The Colonel did so, and had the gratification of seeing a combat it could hardly be called a battle between tho national troops the adherents of Juarez, and the Mexicans who were serving under thejbanner of Maximilian, and who were in possession of Matamoras. The object of the Juarez troops was. of courso, to drive tho enemy from Matamoras and hold tho place, as, owing to its proximity to the United States forces, it was a very important point Each side seemed to be fortiiied, and was engaged in a contest at long range, which was neither very exciting nor destructive. The next morn ins the orderly came again to wake the Colonel, and assured him that he would see some genuine fighting. The Colonel hurried down to the bank, and there he saw the Juarez men leave their entrenchments, advance with the utmost intrepidity, storm the works at Matamoras, and drive the adherents of Maximilian through tho town and far beyond out into the open country. Of course Sheridan could not send a force to the other side of the river without the authority of Congress and the War Department That would have been an unheardof proceding. What ho did do was to givo one of his brigades a leave of absence, and that settled the question so far as Matamoras was concerned. There'll Be No Free-Traders There Then. Auguita (Ga.) ChToniole. Mr. Edward Atkinson has come to have a pretty good opinion of the South. Some years since he was compelled to admit that our people could compete with New England in cotton spinning. Quite recently Mr. Atkinson has been figuring on the possibilities of the South as an iron-producing section, and his findings are most gratifying, showing as they do that this section of the country is rich in minerals that aro in close proximity to the finest kind of coal. In time it will be possible to manufacture Bessemer steel as low as $10 per ton. A Common Democratic Hie. Toledo Blade. Senator Vest, of Missouri, is repeating, in every speech he makes in tho West, the charge that the Republicans "have created a deficicit in the Treasury." wherein there was "a surplus of 100,000,000 when Cleveland went out of otfice." Thero in no deficit; the debt statement of Oct 1 shows a surplus of . over S59.000.000, and during Harrison's administration the Treasury has boaght and canceled $205,714,410 in bonds that is, it has paid that much of the debt and stopped the interest thereon. The Democratic Rascal Ahead. New Albany Tribute. We mildly suggest to those Democratic newspapers that are so fond of threshing Wheat, that it might be wholesome for them to remember tbat they had a Silcott at tho beginning of this Congress. And from the recordu made by both it would seem that Silcott could steal as much in a day as Wheat could in a year. And Silcott's was a direct larceny of $75,000. Wheat stole nothing, but let a contract and received part of tho proceeds. ' Rough on Certain Church Members. Milwaukee SenUnei.

IiANGSTON'S FIRST CLIENT. The Incident Which, Proved the TurningPoint in the Congressman's Career. Interview in St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Some time after I graduated from Oberlin College how long ago that was I will not say, lecanse I am much older than many people suspect 1 settled down on a farm which I owned near Oberlin. I had studied law under ono of the best lawyers in Ohio. lie had been very rigid with me so much so that when 1 was examined for admission to the bar I went through as if greased. Some one, however, raised the objection that I was not entitled to admission because I was a negro. The committee stopped and considered. They were elegant gentlemen. The question staggered them. It was left to the judge. Ho looked me over, and ruled that, as I showed more white than negro blood, I was not a negro, and came within the legal definition of "white." But admission did not mean practice. I worked away on my I farm and made a living. One day a gentleman named Hogan came into the field whero I was digging turnips with my hired man, an Englishman, whose mother kept house for me. Mr. Hogan inquired for "Lawyer Langston." I replied that if he would go to the house I would show him Mr. Langstou. 1 gave him a seat in tho parlor; went out and washed and put on my Sunday clothes. I walked in and said: "I am Mr. Langston." Hogan was dumfounded. When he came arouud he said he wanted me to assist him in a lawsuit. I was 60 pleased I could hardly hold myself back, but I said to him 1 didn't think he wanted me, for the assistance of a negro might prejudice his caso. But he insisted, and I gladly consented, although I was fearful he would change his mind before the day of trial. The time came, I had my man slick np my team, wagon and harness. Ho and 1 put on our Sunday clothes and drove to the office of the justice of the peace. Hogan was there, and so was everybody else from miles around, to seo the "nicrger lawyer" try his first case. Hogan was not a regular member of tho bar, but was what was called a pettifogger. He began the crossexamination, but did not get on well. He finally turned the witnesses overto me. My old tutor had been especially strong in this line, and had drilled me iu it thoroughly. I started in. and from that time con ducted Hogan's side of the case. The justice cave a verdict in our favor. I was a happy man, I tell you, for I had won a triumph that meant a great deal to me. On my way home I said to my hired man: "John, I shall never do another day's work on the farm. I am going to practice law." And practice law I did, with good results to reputation and purse.

'An item in the Registera few days ago," said a gentleman yesterday, "regarding the eight-hundred-thousand-doUars gun secret in the head of one Crosby reminds me of a similar valuable secret lost in the head of a man named Southwick, who lived near Worcester, Mass., fifty years ago. That State, as you know, is engaged largely in the manufacture of palm-leaf hats. The leaf is brought there as it is cut from the tree, sorted and trimmed, and then bleached in large chambers, the samo as hams aro smoked. Tho bleacher used is sulphur. After the leaf is bleached and whitened it is then split into straw, as you see it in the hat, by drawing several blades of the leaf under the thumb across a series of steel blades, set apart the width of the straw desired, fine or coarse, precisely as our grandmothers SDlit straw for hats and bonnets. These shops are so thoroughly impregnated with 6ulphnr fumes as to nearly stifle a person not accustomed to them. Steel shears lying on tho benches and knives carried in the pockets of the workmen, and the steelblades used for splitting the leaf, though mado of watch-spring steol, soon lose their temper entirely and become worthless, so also the grinding of these blades on emery wheels draws the temper, thus involving great loss and waste. This man Southwick discovered a process for tempering these blades so that the sulphur nor emery grinding would atiect the temper. He would occasionally make a razor blado when he felt like it, which would retain its cutting edge superior to any ever mad Of course there was great demand for I work. He had an old dilapidated blac. smith shop, in which his son assisted hn in ordinary blacksmith work. Whenever ho tempered a lot of blades ho would lock the door, close all the windows tight, and permit no person to enter. When he had got the money for his work he would go on a spree until his money was goue. The cutlery companies of the country.olTered him fabulous sums for his secret, or to oven go there . and temper steel, even secretly, but ho refused all oilers. Various, artifices were tried by his son o i l others to gain the secret, but failed, lio died a drunkard's death and his secret we at with him. His steel, when tempered, had the appearance of platina, and it could be ground all up on an emery wheel or dry grindstone without drawing the temper. As evidence of his genius, thero was exhibited at an exposition of mechanics a small, very fine needle, sent from England. Southwick made a bolt, passed it through the ye of that needle, cut a thread and put a nut on each end of it, and it was sent back to England to show what a Yankee could do. That, you must understand, was long ago, before the wonderful machinery now used by watch-makers was known. He was not an intelligent man, and whether his secret was cnemical or not could not even bo learned. Results of the Pan -American Conference. Minister Romero, in North American Beyiew. The first result of the conference and -1 mention it in the first placo because all tho others depend on the ratification of the respective governments, which may or may not be accorded, while this is an efiective one and will exercise great influence for some time to come was the mutual acquaintance through their representatives of the different nations, which, being great distances apart and without any communication among themselves, were almost unknown to each other." The daily intercourse of the delegates for nearly six months, discussing important questions which affect the paramount interests of their respective countries was to many of them a revelation of tho importance and the condition of the states represented in the conference. There is, therefore, no exaggeration iu considering as its first result the sentiment of mutual respect and consideration which each delegate acquired for his colleagues and for the nations represented by them: and so far as the United States are concerned, this result was obtained not only among its delegates, but amoug the governments and the people who had tho opportunity of boing daily informed of the doings of the conference. Tho second place belongs to the agreement on arbitration, which will be, if ratified by the various nations, a transcendent and very important measure. This uy itself would be enough to make the conference highly memorable and fruitful. A Quorum In England and America, Prof. James Kryce, M. P., in North American Review. In both houses of Congress another long habit has established the right of members to be physically present during a division and yet to abstain from voting. In both houses of Parliament every member present has always been held bound to vote, and recusant members havemore than once been positively compelled to vote. The only resource of a person who seeks to escape this duty is to hurry out of the hou.vi before the two minutes allowed lor members to como in havo elapsed and tho doors have been locked. 1 do not know whether the American method of permitting members to have each his own desk, where he can read and write, has anything to do with this permission to remain a silent spectator of a division. To us Englishmen both the desks and the habit of non-participation while physically present,

KNIGHT A JILLSON. 75 fc 77 S. Pennsylvania t. as well as the right to change one's Toto while the division proceeds, seem unfortunate; and we are not surprised that technical difficulties should arise out of the regulations for a quorum where the anomaly exists of divisions of tho House which are not divisions of tho whole body of members present, fc?uch a question as that which Speaker Keed decided, and his decision ou which has been embodied in tho rnlo since enacted by tho House, could not have arisen at Westminster, where we know of only one quorum the qnorum consisting of every member within tho four walls of the chamber whom tho eye of tho Speaker sees and his linger (or, rather, the cocked hat he points with) and voice count audibly when a count is required. TJIK BLOW AT CIIURCII LOTTERIES. 1 Ruthless Postofilce Ruling That Slay Cause the Belle of the Fair to Revolt. Chicago MaiL Assistant Attorney-general Tyner has prepared the ollicial instructions for post" masters under the new anti-lottery bill. The ruling of the department is rather rigid. It holds that any advertising which speaks of a ratHo, or any similar enterprise to distribute values by chance, must be excluded from the mails. Thus does the government strike a blow at the church fair as an institution, for what would a church fair be without its quilt lottery and its grab-bag game of chance! It would certainly be a national calamity to legislate to death a custom that is no happv.in its f operation and effect. Tho natives of. lioonoboola una would not bo the only sufferers by nuch a course. It is not necessary to speak of tho results that have come irom acquaintanceships formed through tho peddling of chances on tho quilt, the gold watch and the cane, nor to allude to the inspiration of deeds of valor that has stirred tho heart of the country . swain when he first realized that a small fee would entitle him to a chance to lead to tho oyster stew the prettiest girl in the parish. The church rafflo is one of the most essential features of the fair, and holds its placo by tradition. In this fact lies the salvation of the fair lottery; for, although a ruthless Postotlice Department niay prevent the advertising of a Iottery.it cannot prevent a lottery itself. The chances may be oeddlcd, the quilt may be drawn, the oysters disposed of as usual, but the fact must not be advertised. Mum is the word. Republican Influence In New York. E. L. Godkin, in North American Iteview. ' The Republicans, although they undoubtedly comprise the more intelligent and .well-to-do portion (of New Yorkcity, have no inllnence. intellectual or moral, on the bulk of the Democratic voters, and have in local canvasses no etiective power of persuasion or conversion. This is a singular phenomenon. I doubt if the like of it is to bo found in any other city, except possibly Paris. Neither the rich, cor the moral, nor tho educated have in thirty years succeeded in making any impression whatever oa the political opinions of tho Democratic masses. In competing for influence over them, they have been always hopelessly distanced 'by tho ordinary Tammany committeemen and district leaders. Neither through its books, nor its sermons, nor its newspapers does what is callod the "better element" of ihe Kepublican party reach tho Democratic rank and iile. There has never been in the past forty years any successful political evangelization done by it in this city, nlsboueh it spends millions in various forms of philanthropic and missionary effort. It and its agents aro beaten at every turn, as political and moral inliuences, by tho Tammany liquor-dealers and ward politicians. He Felt Relieved. Boston Transcnpu Tho editor and proprietor of the Dwindledale Banner was terribly exercised when ho read in the city paper, that newspapers with lottery advertisements aro to be excluded from the mails. He rushed down to the ottice and frantically grasped the last issue of his sheet to seo if thero were any lottery advertisements in itThere wero none no advertisements of any kind, in fact and he laid down the paper with a great sigh of relief and started for homo in a tranquil spirit andane;r light-brown overcoat for which he had not paid tho tailor.
