Pleasant Reception Given General Lalgl Dl Cesnola at the Metropolitan Museum Theatricals Barrett Not Drawing. fciw Yop.k, May 7. A scandalous divorce case between Dr. Frank Deems, son of Rev. Dr. Deems, of this city, and his wife, Grace Brotkerton, that was, reveals the fact that both husband and wife were opium-eaters, and suggests the inquiry as to the extent of this habit in New York among1 Americans of supposed respectability. Dr. Charles F. Deems is the editor of one of Mrs. Frank Leslie's numerous publications the Sunday Magazine, I think it is calltd. Years ago old Cornelius Van derbilt, to please his new wite, Miss Frank Crawford, set the reverend doctor up in what he called the Church of the Strangers, and I believe he still conducts that soul-saving institution, for the benefit, Chiefly, of the slnfnl from the South who stray into New York. Miss Crawford came from Mobile, Ala., as did the doctor, and they had always been good friends. I think he married the lady to the dying millionaire, lie lived in the shadow of the Washington Square Vanderbilt mansion as long bs the old Commodore survived, bat I understand he was not as popular with William H. Vanderbilt or his sons as he had been with Commodore Vanderbilt. What strange creatures that strange old man did have around him in. his latter days! Imagine relying in almost his last illness on the hand manipulations and the massage treatment of Victoria Woodhull and Tennie C. ClafSn daring week days for the res-" toration of his health, and on Dr. Deems' prayers and exhortations on Sunday for the preservation of his soul! The Commodore was a cynical old gentleman, and I fancy he held the two cures to be about equally efficacious. There are no reflections oa Dr. Deems, in the divorce proceedings, except that the wife alleges that he, knowing his son to be ailhcted with the opium habit, permitted her. an innocent youn girl, to marry him and become "his unpaid nurse." The son does not deny his addiction to the opium habit, but he retorts upon his wife by calling her "another," cor has his wife thus far denied the allegation. The effect of opium on those bound by marriage ties seems to have been distressingly inharmonious. There are any quantity of assertions of actual violence, and of threats to kill, and mutual abandonment seems to have been an early result of the indulgence in the hibit. I mentioned. In a former letter, the case Of Francis Gerry Fairfield ani his wife, who were addicted to this habit, though in their case the drug seens to have brought about harmony. I know of a cas9 very similar to that of Dr. Deems and his wife, the victims in this case also being a young doctor and his wife, a young literary woman. Desertion, destitution and degradation followed their indulgence. My observation and information incline me to think that this and the cocoaine habit have peculiar fascinations for young physicians and for brain-workers of both sexes the weaker brains of both sexes, I mean, Jast why these drugs Bhould thus allure the brain-workers I don't know, but they certainly do. It may possibly be accounted for, as regards physicians, by the tendency of young doctors to experiment on patients With new drugs, like cocoaine, or dangerous ones, like opium ; and as most of the horde of young practitioners in this overcrowded city occasionally run out Of subjects, they experiment on themselves. The opium "joints" in this city are mainly kept by Americans for Americans, and not by the Chinese for Chinamen A Chinaman can no more get into one of the luxurious "joints" frequented by Americans than he can get a room in the Hoff man House or even less exclusive hotels and they never attempt to do so. Americans, on the contrary, are often caught in the lower dens of the Chinese possibly bacause they think they can get better opium and better service there than in the American "joints." No policeman knows, or admits he knows, the number of these "joints" in the city, but there are a good many more than the records show or the police will acknowledge. The papers had a story the other morning about an organized conspiracy of Cuban banditti to seize Senator Sherman. IThere is an organized band of the same sort here, composed of local politicians, who who are lying in wait for Senator Sherman for his quadrennial appearance as a White House tourist, and it he escapes with anything left in his barrel in ISSi, he will be able to record a much closer shave than that which it is alleged he had in Cuba. The private reception at the Metropolitan Museum of Art on Tuesday, and the first public one on "Wednesday, were perfect ovations to General Luigi Di Cesnola. It was a complete personal triumph for him. He has labored for the museum f ar many years, through every imaginable trial and tribulation and against every conceivable obstacle which calumny could invent, amid the most ingenious detraction which malignancy could suggest; and yet be has so commanded the confidence of the directors of the musaum and of the public that he is suddenly intrusted with the charge of millions in value i of the finest paintings, and the most brilliant people of the metropolis gather to do him honor and admire his disposition of the worka given to him. The Metropolitan Museum has. under his direction, suddenly become one of the very richest art galleries of the world. A year ago it was poverty-stricken; to-day it is immensely wealthy; and the sudden result i3 largely owing to the seed General Dl Cesnola has been tewing for years. He has been an object of ridicule to one class of art dealers and critics; an object of defamation to another class of individuals and newspapers; has had to go through the humiliation of a long libel suit to establish the falsity of charges brought against his integrity and the genuineness of the famous Cypress collection of antiquities, which was the first xiitable acquisition of the museum he directs; and these sudden additions of the xooet famous pictures in the private collections of several of the richest of our citi zens can not but be regarded as in the high est degree complimentary to him as manager of the museum. I have long known General Di Cesnola as one of the most earn est of students of art and archeology, and J feel a personal interest In his long de ferred, but well deserved, triumph. Somebody has just brought out the fact that the new business directory of this city shows that there are several hundred more lawyers than liquor dealers in New York. I knew it was a pretty wicked city, but I hid no idea it was as bad as that. There is Borne excuse for the lawyers there are so many of them crowded into this place that many are comp led to resort to brigandage for a living. Ä more demoralized profes sion than that the law in lew York I do not believe can exist In any other large City. Greatness Is not numerous, mediocrity starves, and fraud principally pros

pers. Young lawyers, go West, where there is room to grow up honest! Spring seasons of comic opera, burlesqua end light comedy set in with a vengeance this week, and presented some curious spectacles. Let me enumerate some of the shod gest. At Wallack's the "School for Scandall," with John Gilbert as "Sir Peter Teazler," has played to empty and nnappreciative benches. Mrs. Langtry, at the Fifth Avenue Theater, has done a two-third's business only. Even beauty may pall upon. the public appetite. James C. Duff returned to the Standard with a positive failure of last season "A Trip to Africa" and has made a dscld ed hit with it, and may play it all summer if he likes. Henry E. Dixry returned to the Bijou and is enjoying nightly ovations. It is wonderful how the merry mad-cap wins everybody to laughter with such a piece. It is not in the burlesque: it must be in the actor. Boucicault has made a terrible failure in his last appearance here. Houses were even worse than his plays, and he has had to resort to two of his well-known devices to attract attention. He firsts gets up a prearranged discussion with "Nim Crinkle,' and that failing to attract attention, he closes the house for rehearsals of old "Shaughraun." . Lawrence Barrett has worked over an ancient chestnut called "Hieozi," and Niblo'a Garden does not contain the multitudes because they do not go to see it. Palmer continued the season at the Madison Square Theater by producing "Our Society," a very pretty comedy, much improved by Satge Manager Presbury's manipulations. Miss Annie Russell, a nervous, impetuous little spirit of a body, plays a jealous little school girl in a most delightful manner, and gives life to a piece which would be very lacking if her pert and heractiDg were missing. I hear from Boston that Miss Marie Burroughs, of Palmer's company, has male a decided hit in the part of "Agnes Ralston" in "Jim, the Tenman," whicu Maud Harrison used to play here. If I am not very much mistaken, Miss Burroughs has the making of a very clever actress in her. William F. G. Suasks.

A FUTURE LIFE.

A Sj nipostam of Scientific Thinkers Upon the Hereafter. Christian Register.! Once the church was the only oracle; now science has an oracle of its own. at weich the church Itself must inquire. The question which it now puts to science is, "What have you to say on the great theme of immortality?' Must the belief in the immortality oi the soul share the fate of the belief in the literal resurrection of the body? The answers we have given from twenty-three scientific men present the conditions under which such a belief may be held, the difficulties which assail it, the indications which support it What Bhall we say of the evidence? 1. It must be noticed that doctors in science, like doctors in theology, do not agree. Nor ii we had authority to lock up the e jurors and keep them on bread and water lor a week a measure to which we should be extremely lcath to resort should we be able to secure a unanimous verdict. There is, therefore, no decision to be accepted or set aside, but simply a disagreement to be analyzed. If we could multiply these witnesses by a hundred or a thousand, the evidence before us would be no stronger. It would exhibit precisely the same variety of opinion. The question can not be settled by a majority vote either of scientists or of churchmen. 2. Ii unanimity can be found anywhere in these articles, it is most nearly attained in the general concession that science can not show that immortality is impossible. Mr. John Fiske said, not long ago. that philosophically the relation of science to immortality stands to-day just about where it stood in the time of Descrates that is, there is no more positive proof against the doctrine now than there was then. Professor Asaph Hail, in the article we publish, also says: "The metaphysical arguments and analogies of Spinoza, Butler and Kant may be repeated to-day with as much force as' ever; and the answers and discussions must be essentially the same." Frofessor Newcomb does not think that "modern investigation has brought to light any new facts which really bear upon the question." Professor Lesley says: "Science can not possibly either teach or deny immortality." Professor Huxley, Herbert Spencer and Professor Morse are agnostics on the subject 3. It is to be noted that the evidence against immortality presented in these articles is contested by some who take the agnostic position. Thus Professor Ward and Dr. Leldy both think that consciousness exists no longer than the organized brain, but Professor Huxley, on the other band, challenges this very assumption: "If (one) says that consciousness can not exist except in relation of cause and effect with certain organic molecules, I must ask how he knows that, and if he says it can I must put the Eame question." The difficulty, however, of believing in the persistence of consciousness after the dissolution of the brain is one which is evidently felt by most of the writers wh03e opinions we have sought 4. While there are those in this group of scientists who do not tied that the discoveries of science have in any way undermined their personal belie! in immortality, there are others who find evidence in science which makes their belief even stronger. It is to be noted here, however, that those who aeree in believing in immortality do not wholly agree as to why they believe in lt. Professor Asaph Hall is able to say: "I think the discoveries of modern science strengthen the belief in immortality." Dr. Gould, Dr. Gray and Dr. Hill seem to find the belief implied in theism itself. Dr. Gould points to "the Immanence of the Daity in all physicalphenomena, as well as the permanency of the individual through and beyond all physical changes which may affect him," and adds "that a profound and unbiased study of any branch of natural science should lead to disbelief in immortality seems to me preposterous." Dr. Hill finds the solution to be that "man is in communication with the Creator of the universe." Professor James D. Dana, although he does not offer any logical proof for his belief, says as emphatically as Dr. Gould: "lam strongly of the opinion, I should say decidedly, that there is nothing in science or any possible developments from investigations of nature against immortality." Professor Young, of Princeton, leaps strongly to the opinion that the question is out of the pale of science altogether. And President Barnard thinks that "science has nothing whatever to say on the question." But both of these gentlemen find in revelation the basis of their faith in immortality. The same may be said of Professor Josiah P. Cooke and Bir William DawsDn. Professor T. Bterry Hunt believes in a conditional immortality, the gift of God. On the other hand, Professor A. It Wallace, who is also supported in his belief by Professor Crooke, the eminent English chemist, turns for evidence to modern spiritualism, the phenomena of which he considers may be subjected to scientific tests. Dr. Elliott Coues thinks "there is not much in the discoveries of psychic science, not only to support or strengthen the belief In immortality, but to convert the belief into knowledge." Dr. Cope and Professor Pierce do not hesitate to grspple athletically with the logical problems involved in the relations of mind to matter. They both' take strong and well-fortified ground against the mechanical and automatic philosophy. We have laid emphasis in our inquiries on the point of personal consciousness, because this has always been an important element in the conception pf immortality In the Occidental mind. Undoubtedly, the majority of Christians would think immortality hardly worth considering if personal consciousness did not go with it The Oriental mind, however, nas never laid bo much stress upon perso al consciousness. The Hindu throws a .ump of salt into the river. "It is gone," he says, "but it is ail there." The Oriental mind is capable of conceiving without dismay of the absorption of the individual soul into the eternal soul of the univerae. It is not destruction, but deification. Were the perpetuity of mind the only problem before us, the answer of science would be easier and more unanimous. On the physical side science assures us that not an atom la lost Matter changes its form, but does not die. If matter is indestructible, is not the soul of matter indestructible? And here Professor Lester F. Ward assures us that "science Eostulates the immortality, not of the uiran soul alone, but of the soul of the least atom of matter."- Compared with the destiny of everlasting torture, which has been offered to unnumbered millions of the human race in the name of Christianity, the destiny which science thus offers to tbe soul is glowingly epitomistic. But It is to be noticed that the range of sience must be enlarged before it can include all the elements which are needed to answer the great question of immortality. Science engages Itself mostly with the phenomena of nature with the objective world. There is a vast region of mind wbJch it has not yet included in its tests. Humanity Itself is a product of nature, and can not be left out in any estimate of nature's testimony. With humanity we must take the whole range of emotions and of ethical motives that influence it The hopes, the affections, the infinite yearnings of the human heart will not be silenced. These I are a part of our heritage, and these are prophetic of . our destiny. If ethics is something more than a few utilitarian precepts, if it is the manifestation in the life and heart of man of an eternal righteousness which throbs In the universe, then science can no more ienore ethics than it can ig nore gravitation. It is to ethics and psychology that we must turn when we seek the destiny of mind. Ethics may lead us to the belief that the good of the individual is attained through the good of the whole, and psychology may assure us that the mind that wells up la us Li a pari

of the eternal consciousness of the universe. When we come, therefore to believe that tbe good of the individual is attained through the cood of the whole, and are williDg to live for such a great end in this life, then we may be willing to live for it in the next AN UNPARALLELED CASE.

Conviction of a Blind Man for the Crime ot Marder. ITiffin (OMo) Spec'aLl A remarkable trial closed here to day in the conviction of Charles K. Gaines, a blind man, for murder in the second degree, probably the only case of the kind on record. Charles K. Gains was bora in Sycamore, Yrjandotte County, fifty years ago. At tbe age of four years he one day wandered from the door to the barn, where his attention was attracted by a litter of pigs. The'e Btruck his fancy, and he appropriated one, and this so enraged the sow that she rushed at him and mangled him ter ribly, his eyes being destroyed. The child was rescued and recovered, though his eyeballs were entirely gone. Ina few years he had developed a remarkable sensitiveness of touch, smell and hearing. He had a strong tendency to precociousness, and before he had crown ud became the terror of the neighborhood. He would wander about, night and day, without a guide, and was never known to get lost. lie knew where evcy melon patch was, where the best apples, peaches and plums grew, and where the best berries ripened, and was never backward about helping himself to any ot these or other delicacies. While vet a bor he was presented with a pair of game chickens byanoid minister named bpoiford, who resided at Sycamore. The blind boy took great interest in these chickens and raised more. It was not long until he had several game cocks trained for fighting, ar d would take them about the country to pit against others, lie would bet on his favorite and nobody could fool him about the result. Standing among the crowd he always knew whether his chickens were setting the worst or the best of the fight. As he grew to manhood he learned to drink whisky and became uly and quarrelsome. In 1871 he married Medora Spraarus, a graduate of Tiffin High SchooL For a time be was sober and industrious. Presbyterians got hold of him. He joined the church and made temperance speeches, greatly moving his audiences. many are the strange things he has done. He has been seen on a steep roof nailing on shingles, and working as well and as fast S3 the next man. He could lind his way with perfect ease anywhere; could recognize an acquaintance at some distance be töre he spoke, rode horseback recklessly and played tne violin finely. His career as a temperance advocate was short, for he soon went back to drinking and abusing his wife and children. The climax was reached last August wben he went on a protracted snree and his wife ordered tbe saloon-keeper to Dot sell him any whisky. The next day, August 19, Gaines and his nephew, xsathan Echelbery, got drunk on hard cider, and then went to tbe saloon and demanded whisky. Failing to get it, they left and tried to borrow a revolver, but could not get one. I hey then returned to the saloon, each with a large stone, and, again being refused whisky, they killed the saloon-keeper with the stones. The police arrested Gaines in the cane-lield, and he was brought in hatUse, coatless, shoeless and eyeless. With long hair banging over his shoulders, and six feet tall, he looked like a wild man. For eiebt months he has sat in i ail. ainusirg himself with his violin. His nephew and accomplice was sent to the penitentiary ror life, and his own conviction now fol lows. 'Grant, Thomas, Lee." I General Sherman in North American Review. In Macmillan'sMsgazine for March, 1837. published in London and New York, ap pears a most interesting article of ten pages from the pen of General Lord Wolseley, which concludes with the following paragraph: "When all the angry feel'mgs routed by secession are b .tried with those which existed when the Declaration of Independence was written, when Americans can review the history of their last great rebellion with calm impartiality, I believe all will admit that General Lee towered far above all men on either side of that struggle. I believe ho will be regarded, net only as the most prominent f.gure of the Confederacy, but S3 the great American of the nineteenth century, whoee statue is well worthy to stand on an equal pedestal with that of Warhirgtou, and whese memory is equally worthy to be enshrined in the hearts of his countrymen." England has so long been accustomed to shape and mold the public opinion of our race, that her authors, critics and officials seem to forget that times are changing, have charged. The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland contained in 1SS0 only 36,000,000 of Inhabitants, with an area of 121,571 square miles; whereas the United States of America had 50,000,000 of people, with 3,fX)2,900 Equare miles of territory. Great Britain is cro wded,whereas in our vast interior there still remains land enough for 300.000,000 of inhabitants. All of these are taught the English language, believe in the Bible, Bhakspeare, Hilton, Walter Scott, Dickens, Thackeray and Tennyson ; all read English magazines, periodicals and newspapers, and have a way of thinkirjg for themselves. They have had twenty-ore years for thought and reflection since tbe smoke and confusion of battle obscured the horizon, and have settled down to the conclusion that Abraham Lincoln was the great civil hero of the war, and that Ulysses S. Grant was the chief military hero. AH that is good in the character of General Robert E. Lee is ours, and we will cherish it, and we will be charitable to his weaknesses; but so long as the public record tells us of U. S. Grant and Georgl H. Thomas, we can not be at a loss for heroes for whom to erect monuments like those of Nelson and Wellington in London, well worthy to stand side by side with the one which now graces our capital of "George Washington." Of ail governments on earth, England is the last to encourage rebellion against lawful authority; and of all men in England, General Lord Wolseley is the last who should justify and uphold treason. Ireland, to-day, has many times the cause to rebel against England which the South had in 1SG1, and when some future Emrr.ett manifests the transcendent qualities whbh scintillate and sparkle in tne Irish character, and some enthusiastic American applauds him, and awards him natieaal honors, then will General Wolseley, or his successor in office, understand the feel I igs ot us in America, who, though silent, watch the world's progress toward the conclusion in which truth and justice must stand triumphant over treachery and wrong. When the time comes to award monuments for service in the civil war, the American people will be fully prepared to select the subjects without hint or advice from abroad. Jewish Ministers in Council. I New York BpeciaLl Some forty Jewish ministers met to-day In the synagogue of the Congregation Shaaray Tefila, in this city, in the sixth semiannual conference oi the Jewish Ministers' Association of America. Rev. Dr. Gustav Gotthiel, of the Temple Emmanuel, presided. The principal question discussed was the snarl in the marriage law. The clauie in the marriage law which was a stumbling-block to the Jewish ministers was proposed by themselves as an amendment to the marriaee law in this State. Bev. Dr. Aaron Wise, to-day, in his report of the committee on the marriage qnestion, said that the amendment clause now in force was Intended to do away with old abuses, pj the old Uw Jews, were al

lowed to marry in eccordance with their own religious organizations. Jews could create a congregation by bringing together twelve men, and they could elect a rabbi. In this way saloon-keepers became rabbis. He bad found twenty-six such instances in the records of the bureau of vital statistics. The New York Baard of Health now declares that as the new law stands it is doubtful whether any Jewish rabbi can marry a man and woman, owing to tbe no doubt accidental omission of the word "rabbi" from the clause in which those persons are named who may legally perform a marriage service. The word minister appears in the clause, but the Board of Health insists that the word rabbi should appear. The conference appointed a committee to confer with thi board on the vexed subject Rev. Dr. L Winter, of Brooklyn, read resolutions of regret for the death of Henry Ward Beecher, of whom the resolutions said: "We recognize that we have lost in H. W. Beecher a treat colaborer in the field of religion." DIED FROM EXTREME FRIGHT.

Three Hainan Victims of the Great Southwestern Earthquake. ALBCQCEEQrE, N. M., Hay C Cumbers Mesa, seventy-five miles west of this city, on the Atlantic and Pacific Railway, is a rugged upland, occupied by countless flocks of iheep, which are cared for by herders who follow their flocks day and night, unseen by the owners for weeks at a stretch. On Tuesday Cubert Gonzales, a large sheep raiser, rode over the range to inspect his flocks, reaching the Mesa at 3:10 p. m., and climbed to the top of a high rock to scan the country in search of his herders. At that moment the sky became overcast, a low, rumbling sound seemed to approach from the couth west, and then a slight tremble shook the rock upon which he was perched, followed immediately by a loud report and severe shocks which made the rocks sway to and lro like a ship at sea. He was overcome by a deadly sickness which almost caused him to fall from the rock. Recovering, he started by the path he had climbed, but found the rock had been rent in twain, leaving a fissure ten feet wide, which accounted for the report he had heard. He managed to regain the ground, and remounting his bone rede rapidly in search of his herders. He found some of the sheep scattered and bleating with fright, but no herders were insight A short distance further on he was horrified by finding the body of one of tbe men stretched upon the ground, dead. Instituting a search for the other two he found them a mile away, both dead, but the bodies bore no mark of violence or injury of any kind, and they were scarcely cold, the flexibility of their limbs indicating that death had overtaken them all within the time that Mr. Gonzales bad been in Mesa. The only plausible theory that could be formed as to the cause of their death was that the extreme fright caused by the terrible convulsions ot the elements, which he himself had witnessed, had killed the three men at the same moment. The expressions of their features, which bore the impress of fright and terror, sustained this theory, and it is believed that these three men were, perhaps, the only human victims of the great southwestern earthquake. THE NASHVILLE PHENOMENON. Sale of Kfcmant, the Famous Racer, to the Dwjer Brothers. Nashville, May G. It is reported on the best authority that the Dwyer Brothers today bought Egmout, the Nashville phenomenon, from the Auburn, Ind., stables for $15,000. Egmont sold as a yearling m ISS-i for $275 at the Belle Meade sale, W. B. CurtiB, the present owner, being the purchaser. General Jackson says he is the finest animal that ever left Bslle Meade, and turfmen say he is the finest horse in America for his age. G. B. Morris conducted tbe trade, and General W. H. Jackson appraised the value of Egmout President Garfield's Life, by Himself. Notes Furnished to Edmund Kirfce. When I went Into Congress the war was still rsging. I wanted to go back into the army. After Rosecrans' removal, Thomas, who was a very dear friend of mine, was exceedingly anxious to have me come back, and tendered me, in a private letter, the command of an army corps if I would go. He had become the head of the whole army, you know. I very much wanted to go back, but Mr. Lincoln made a personal point of my taking my seat in the House of Representatives. In the first place, he &id that the Republican majority in Congress was very small, and there was great doubt whether we could certainly carry the necessary measures; and in the next place, he was greatly lacking in men of military experience in the House to regulate the legislation about the army. So I went in, and was immediately put upon the Military Committee. In time of peace Ways and Means and Appropriations are the most Important of the committees, and the Military is rather a decoration than an influential committee. But in thi war the Military Committee was way up above any others In importance and my position on it, as practically acquainted with the wants of the army, called me into immediate requisition, giving me a prominence in the House in the beginning that I could not possibly have had in any other way. The first speech I made was on the 20th of January, 1SG4, on a bill for the confiscation of rebel property. There are portions of that which yon will probably think It best to print, enough, at least, to show the swing of my mind and the character of my speaking. I was the youngest member in either branch of Congress at that time, as I had been the youngest member of the Ohio Legislature, and the youngest Brigadier General in the nrmy. A Buvaway Couple. CoLCMErs. May 5.

The party left here this morning at 9 o'clock, going toward Indianapolis. Poulter has been married about three months. His wife is still at her home in Brown.

MR. GRADY'S CHARACTERISTICS.

Personal Peculiarities of the Southern Editor ITlio May ba Tic President. Augusta, Ga., May 2 Henry W. Grady is becoming very promineat in the South now, and it seems to be pretty well hopad that he will be the first post-bellum Southerner who will grace a presidential ticket Grady's reputation as a journalist is universal. Your correspondent saw hicn in Atlanta writing a leader for the Cjns'.itu tion the other day dictating it rather. He was on Broad street just around the corner from tbe Constitution building. He aflects toothpicks and had one between his teeth. His hat was thrust back from over his pet bangs. Leaning at an angle o! forty five degrees against a convenient tree, he poured forth sentence after sentence, which were faithfully handled by the young stenographer who follows him about the streets to enable him to put into print brilliant thoughts which may be inspired during the possible Vice President's strolls about the thoroughfares. Mr. Grady is peculiar and has a faculty of self-abstraction. Your correspondent has seen him talking to Senator Brown, and when the latter was making a reply to some commonplace interrogatory the editor walked away when the Senator was half way throrgh his sentence. He often does this. But "it's Grady, you know" and nobody is offended by Grady or by what he does. In the middle of a most important conversation he will walk abrcptly away, to the consteraation of a stranger, but to the amusement of one who kno rs him and hiswas8. Governors, Senator;, Congressmen, office boys, partners and aub-editors are treated alike in this respect. Mr. Grady likes social gatherings, but generally remains at the parlor entrance, tootbpick between his teeth, hat thrown back on his head, lolling against the faciDg of tbe door. He rarely gets inside, but from this position he talks to ten at once, and is lionized wherever he wanders. THE DILLON-TIMES AFFAIRS. Comment of the Standard and Times on the Action of the Commons. Loxdos, May 7. The Times, commenting on the action of the House ot Commons in regard to the Dillon-Times affair, says: The really interesting thing in the debate was the little comedy, played, we pre6umej under the direction of Mr. Gladstone, with a precision seeming to show it was not wholly unrehearsed, offering to enlarge the scope of parliamentaiy inquiry at the last momtnt when it was known that the amendment lor an inquiry would be rejected. We can not Imagine who the opposition think they can deceive by so palpable a tiick. For our own part, we have every reason to be satisfied wita the result of the debate. The Standard continues to maintain a scornful tone toward the Government with regard to their course in the Times-Dillon incident It says the Irish members will triumphantly brandish in the eyes of popular audiences that they offered to have the charges against them probed to the bottom, but the Government shrunk from the ordeaL "This," says the paper, "is all the Government gained by their exemplary firmness ana delicate adherence to precedent.'' AN OLD STORY REVIVED. Another Syndicate Said to Have Been Formed to Purchase the B. and O. New York, May 7. Interest in the B. and 0. deal has been revived by a story that a meeting of the Baltimore and Ohio directors will soon be held, at which the resignation of several of the present directors will be received and their places filled by members chosen by the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton, Like Erie and Wettern and Richmond Terminal Companies. There is some hitch in regard to the Louisville, New Albany and Chicago, and another road, joining the system, but, outside of this, the plan is said to be complete for the use of the Baltimore and Ohio as a through line to Philadelphia, and thence to New York, as soon as the extension can be built Several directors of the roads named have been questioned in regard to the story, and they admit that it is practically true but that the minor details have not yet been arraneed. Robert Garrett, C. E. Brice, fcfamuel Thomas, Henry S. Ives, George I. Seney, Alfred Sally and George H. Slayner are mentioned as among members of the syndicate buying control of the road, but it is said that some of them will only have a small interest in it The young Scotch laire whose disastrous "p'.ungins" created such a sensation at Newmaiket last autumn, commenced the present season more auspiciously by betliug 3 000 on Camaralzaman, 1,000 on Anarch and 10,000 on Annamite all winnerslast week.
