As ONE star differeth trom another ii glory, so one policeman varies from another.

GOLD has been discovered in Guatema la. Will our tramps make a note of this, and govern themselves accordingly

AND now, Wm. Howard, a colored man, and as black as the ace of spades, is policeman in ordinary about the Mayor's office.

IN Central Park New York City, yesterday, a statue of Fitz Green Halleck was unveiled. President Hayes was among the invited guests who witnessed the ceremony.

RUSSIA does nat seem to have such an easy contract as she thought she had in squeezing the life out of the Turkey gobbler. For an invalid the sick n.an of Europe seems to betiay remarkable vivacity and liveliness.

BEFORE the. Council makes another contract for lighting the streets, it should wait to hear from the new gas company. The GAZETTE understands that it will double discount the proposition of the old company presented to the Council last night,

COUNCILMAN SCHLOSS has a way of meeting rumors reflecting on his conduct as councilman, and tearing them to pieces aud stepping on them, that is refreshing. His remarks on fire-hose in the Council last night—see report—was explicit and to the point.

THE new City Council msets to-night Let them put new stars on new policemen, and let those guardians of the peace be instructed to wage eternal war on vagrant cows. An obligation to this effect should be administered with all the solemnity of an awtul oath.

A RUMOR from from Washington states that Attorney General Devens is to be retired from the Cabinet, not being in sympathy with the policy of the administration. On what basis of fact this rumor rests, has not vet been decided and its credibility may therefore be doubted.

WHETHER she has found that other things make it red hot for her besides her husband, or. because she thinks that if he were her husband, he would grieve the more at her inevitable burning up, is not stated, but Kate Claxton, the salamander of the stage, has withdrawn her suit ior divorce from her husband.

GLADSTONE'S resolutions were defeated yesterday in the British Parliament by a vote of354 to 223. A resolution passed, •which virtually leaves it discretionary with the Cabinet to adopt and carry out such measures as may seem to be best calculated to protect British interests. This means an attempt to cut the claws of the Russian bear.

TOM Collins, colored and a sailor on the schooner Sunbeam, was recently convicted in New York, of killing the cook in an altercation on the high seas. The court was not disposed to take the murderous pranks of the facetious Thomas as a joke, as many persons in this section, slandered by his namesake, were com pelled to do. on a failure to find him.

HIRAM ULYSSES held a reception a Philadelphia yesterday. He was not, though he should have been, flanked by Belknap, Robinson and Cameron, and Shepherd. Murphy and Babcock, and Richardson, Gould and Brother Orville, and the noble army of profits and seeres who made his administration the marve^ of the age and the wonder of the world. He goes abroad in a few days, like Lord Bateman, "foreign countries for to see."

RAILROADS running East from Chicago, have caught the lightning express fe ver. Heretofore the time between Chicago and New York has been 3S hours In a few days all the roads are to reduce their tables, making the run in 30 hours. In Chicago this movement was inaugurated by the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne & Chicago, running in connection with the Pennsylvania Central. A faster time table made by the Toledo, Wabash & Western, running in connection with the Canada, Southern & New York Central was the cause of this general increase ®f speed.

MR. AND MRS. PAOLO.

BV MARY KYLE DALLAS.

Ever since Mr and Mrs Paolo had been married they had been in the habit of taking a Sunday afternoon walk together. They were not fasihonable people, for •they only kept a little shop for the sale of confectionery ane small fire works. Packs of crackers lay 6ideby side, long rocket sticks, red, white, and blue, were displayed to the best advantage, and jars of French mixed and pepermint-drops faced other jars of lemon-drops and licorice, while under the counter stored away, was one little keg of pun-powder.

It was a Sunday afternoon, and of course the shop was closed—but to-day Mr. and Mrs. Paolo were not going out to walk. They had quarreled over their noontide dinner, and Mrs. Paolo had told Mr. Paolo that 6he wished she had not married him, and he answered that he wished she had not. Now they were sit ting apart sulking—he in the back parlor, she in her up stairs bed room. She had been crying, he had been furiously angry, and both had deeided that they had made a grand mistake and only desired to be separated. "This is what they have told nae marriage brought upon a man," said Mr. Pa olo. "Mother always 6aid that husbands generally ili-treat their wives after they've been married a year," said Mrs. Paolo to herself. All the world seemed dark to each, and each desired to punish the other for it.

At last Mrs Paolo thought of a plan. She would go out, and walk by herself. That would make him finely angry when he came down. He should see she could be very happy without him, very. And with boiling blood and aching head' she dressed herself in her best, put on a vail to hide her face, and started upon the most miserable walk she had ever taken in her life. It seemed as though people could see straight down into her heart, and knew what was passing there—that she was set apart as a woman who had quarreled with her husband. Other wives passed her leaning on her their husband's arms.

There were girls with their lovers. How Paola used to make love to her. Old couples, who had lived together more years than she had known in the world. Ah, when she was old, how would it be? Miserable little woman. At last she found her way to the little park, where, two years before, Paolo had proposed to her, and sat down under the very tree and leant her her head against it, "All is over," said poor little Mrs. Paolo "but how 6weet it was." Then she arose and walked slowly homeward.

Meanwhile, Mr. Paolo had come to the conclusion that in no way could he so punish little Mrs. Paolo as by going out alone to take his Sunday walk. Consequently he put on his hat and went very quietly out of the door through which his wife had slipped a little while before, lie had the advantage of not having swollen his nose and reddened his eyes, by crying, but he was a very miserable looking man.

In order to look jolly, he lit a cigar as he went out, and threw the match toward the fireplace, not noticing that the still lighted end touched the carpet. Then he marched down the street, but his cigar did n»t give him Ihe air he desired.

Happy couples walked before him arm in arm. He saw a jolly young fellow with his arm around his sweetheart's waist-, he alone was lonely, desolate, unloved.

So the unhappy couple walked the streets at a block's distance from each other, each believing the other at home. Each so wretched that the bright day seemed dull, and the sweet air poisonis.

At last Mr. Paolo, like his wife remembered the pretty park where he had made love to her, and went thither he sat down on the old bench under the old tree, and rested his head against it. "It is all over," sighed poor Mr. Paolo "but how happy we were."

Then he also arose and walked slowly and sadlv home in the gloaming. How pleasant it used to be, Mr. Paolo thought, as though he were thinking of ages gone, instead of last week—how pleasant it used to be to come home together and eat the nice little supper and talk over the people they had seen, and plan what their walk should be next week.

When they were separated—as they would be, of course—how he would remember it all! He sat down upon the step of a corner store and felt as though he could not enter the home that was now only the grave of their domestic peace.

At the same moment, Mrs. Paolo paused at another corner and started toward her home. There was the sweet though humble place to which Paolo had brought her in her honeymoon. When they were separated, she said to herself, she should see over and over again the dear little back parlor, the pretty tea table, and Paolo opposite her. "Oh! dear, I can't go in." said Mrs Paolo to herself. "He's sitting in there, angry and brutal, wishing he had never been married." "I've a mind not to go in," said Mr Paolo. "She is sulking in her room, so different from what I thought her, wishing she had never married me."

Little did those two people guess at that moment that they never should enter that door again, but it was so. Just as she took a step torward, and he arose, a horrible explosion shook the street, and their house came flying out of its own windows.

The spark from Mr. Paolo's match had been all this time creeping slowly over the carpet until it reached the door of the store. There it might have deadened out but that' in her temper, Mrs. Paolo had thrown the newspaper upon the floor. The spark caught this with delight, flashed into a blaze, and caught the rocket stick and went under the counter to the barrel of gunpowder.

So their house came out of its windows to meet Mr. and Mrs. Paolo. Fortunately there was an empty lot on one side, and a half finished house on the other. Only the Paolo's house suffered but the street was ful of people in an instant, and amidst them rushed the little woman, shrieking: "Oh, my husband! I teft him in that horrible house!*'and ran against a man who was screaming: "Let me pass! Let me pass! I will die with my wife, it I cannot save her—"

It was Paolo. In that moment these two foolish people had discovered that thev loved each other just as well as ever that that home might have been as happy a place, that they had only had a ridiculous little quarrel.

his way, the man flew ®n but the woman cought him by the arm. "Oh! oh! oh! you'r not dead!" she screamed. "Oh, my darling!" "Oh, my love, you are here—unhurt.'" said he.

And kissing each other, they forgot the burning home and their losies, and the poverty that must come. They had each other again, and those miserable hours were quite blotted out. "Did you notice Mr. and Mrs. Paolo?' said the friend who entertained them in their homelessntss that night. "How plain it is that they have never had any quarrels! They are really married lovers."

So they were—as happy a couple as ever lived, and they remained so despite their losses and privations. But they had keen very near the rapids where so many boats go over into the whirlpools of separation and divorce, and they knew it And jet they had only quarreled about her boots, which she declartd to be loose enough and he maintained were too tight.

A Tidal Wave.

PORT STANLEY, Ont., May 15.—At 5 o'clock this morning a tidal wave five feet high came roshing ashore on Lake Erie, accompanied by a load hissing noise. The wave lasted but a few minates, and as quickly receded, followed at intervals of an hoar by smaller waves of a foot or more in height. Very little wind at the time the lake was almost calm.

A RAFFLE FOR FREEDOM.|

We translate from a German sketch of American travel the suojoined account of an incident alleged to have occurred on a Mississippi steamboat a short time before the war. "I ascended the Mississippi," says the writer, "on a steamer on board of which were Judge and General of Pennsylvania, with both of whom I was slightly acquainted. '"A hard set, these Natchez men,' faid the captain who met us on the cabin stairs. 'There's some of thim down in the saloon playing a high game. How men can be such fools, I could never see!' "Let's go down and look on awhile,' suggested the judge. "In the saloon we found four men seated at a table, around which a crowd of spectators was gathered. The foar were the 'heavy players.' "The game was poker, and the money changed hands rapidly. We had not been looking on long, when one of the players, a middle-aged man, who I learned wa6 a cotton planter, bet his last dollar against the hand of one of his antagonists. The latter showed four kings, while he had only four queens. He was 'cleaned out,' and rose as though le were going to leave the table. "'Areyou broke, Colonel asked one of the men. "'Dead!' was the laconic reply. "'Never mind I'll lend you.' "'No I can make a raise, I reckon.— Ilere, Pomp!' '"Here, mass!' responded an old negro, as he emerged from one corner of the saloon. "Bring that girl and her 3 oungster here, that I bought in Natchez. Wait a moment, gentlemen. I'll raise some money.' "The old negro went on his errand and soon returned with the girl and her youngster. The 'girl' proved to be a stately mulatto woman about thirty-five years old. Her 'youngster' was a fine, intelligent-looking boy of eleven or twelve years old, whose complexion showed him to be much more nearly allied to the whita race than to the black. 'Here, gentlemen,' said the planter, as they entered, 'you see this girl and her boy—two as fine niggers as you can find anywhere. I paid eight hundred dollars for them vejterday in Natchez. Who will give me six hundred for them?' 'Will you sell them separate?' asked some one.' *No, can't doit I promised not to. The girl swears she'll take her life if she's separated from her boy, and her old master said that he was sure she'd keep her word. But don't you all see that the girl is worth more money than I ask for both of them? Come, who'll give me six hundred for both?' "The planter waited a moment for a reply, and then said: '"Well, I must have some money. Come, what say you to a raffle—thirty chances at twenty dollars a chance? Out with your cash, gentlemen. The first on the list has the first throw!" "This proposition created a decided stir among all present. The three players at the table led off by taking three chances each. Their example was followed by the spectators, and twenty chances were taken as rapidly as the planter could write down the names and take the money Then there was a slight pause. The planter himself now took two chances, and he was followed by his three fellowplayers, who each took one chance more. Finally, three more chances were taken by the spectators, when the planter cried out: 'Two chances still,gentlemen! Who will have them?' "General whispered something in Judge J——'s ear, and then went to the table and laid two ten-dollar goldpieces on it. 'Name, sir, please,' 'Never mind the name. Put it down for the woman—" 'Eh—what! for the girl herself?' 'Yes, certainly let's give her a chance.' "All right! One for Ninette. And now—' 'That's for the boy,' said Judge quietly as he laid twenty dollars on the table. "Good! bravo! bravo!' cried tiie planter and several of the bystanders. 'One for Tommy, wr.ich makes the thirty. Now. gentlemen, let's see whom luck favors.' "The dice was brought and the throwing began. Each chance entitled the holder to three throws. "Thirty-six was the highest thrown until the holder of the eleventh chance threw. He scored forty-two. Then a less number was thrown, until twentyone scored forty-nine. "The excitement now became intense. Forty-nine was hard to beat the highest thiow possible being nine sixes—fifty four. "Again and again the dice rattled in the box, until it came to number twentynine. "Come, Ninette—it's your turn now!'

As the poor woman came forward, her hands crossed and pressed convulsively against her breast it was truly painiul to witness her agitation. "Won't the gentleman that took the chance for nr.eplease throw?' she asked, in a low, tremulous tone. "No let your boy throw,' replied the general 'perhaps he would have more luck than I., "Come Tom," said the planter.

Tom came forward and picked up the box. The woman pressed her lips firmly together, and clasped h( hands as if in prayer. The boy trembled like an as-pen-leaf, but shook the dice, and threw— three!

For a moment he stared at the dice as though he could not believe his eyes, then he put down the box and stepped back pale and dejected. "Come Tommy, throw again,' urged the planter. "It's,no use master I couldn't throw forty-nine now." "True, true! But ycu have your own chance. Throw that." "Certainly," said Judge "that one was was your mother's. Now throw for yourself, on the chance I gave you. Have a stout heart, my boy, and Heaven smile on you!" "Again the boy returned to the table and took up the box. He pressed his lips together and did his best to control his trembling limbs. Not a sound was to be heai ed in the saloon but the rattling of the dice. For a moment every man seemed to hold his breath. "He threw. "Two fives and a six—sixteen!" said the planter, putting down the number, while a murmer of satisfaction ran through the crowd. "One of the bystanders gathered up

•. «s

**-c

the dice put them in the box and the boy threw again Two sixes and a five—seventeen." "The excitement knew no bounds, and the bravos resounded on every hand. The boy. as he took up the box for the third and last time, was as nearly color less as it was possible for hirr. to be with his yellow skin. "6ut rolled the dice, and up came three sixes, which made flfty-one! 'Tommy, my boy, I congratulate you,' cried the planter. 'You are vour own and your mother's matter. Fill up the necessary papers, captain, and I will sign them. These gentlemen will be the witnesses.* "I will not attempt to descrihe the scene that followed. In the general satisfaction, one of the roughest looking men in the crowd proposed a subscription for the freed negroes. The proposition was received with such favor that in less than five minutes $50 were collected. —[Appletons'Journal for June.

RUM RATIONALISM, ROMANISM.

THF THREE ENEMIES OF CHRISTIANITY.

The Rev. A. Gurney, pastor of St* Paul's M. E. Church, corner of Maxwell street and Newbury avenue, a sermon yesterday morning against the three great enemies of religion. The church he said, was an army: it fronted a foeReligon was not only an inspiration of love it was also an inspiration toflighl. Its very love was a weapon of war. The truecristian had no charity for sin* know no hour of armistice with error. He pitted the sinner, but hated the sin God was the most one sided being in the universe. He was altogether on the side of the right, alltoge.her igainst the wrong. From His throne in heaven He doomed to eternal woe all villains. Every wrong, every sin. was a blow aimed against God, for God and goOd were one. The three great divisions of the army ot antichrist marchted under the banners of rum, Rationalism and Romanism. Either of these divisions taken alone was a formidable foe. But all were combined to resist the princible of Christianity. Rum imperiled with its horroro all the results of our civilization. Three thousand places in Chicago maintained and kept open for the sale of rum under the sanction of the law were breathing holes ot hell, tombs of virture wherein herded possessed with demons of Inst and violence, and learned in cun ning and debauchuery. These haunts of infamy weae slaughter houses of hell, the very shambles of destruction! Moral •wamps kennels of demonism, commonj 8ewer3 of sin running with the waste of human lives, sweeping along with the death guigle of humanjsouls, withering the dearest sanctities of homes. It hung the cruel livery of hell in horrid festoons of demon tracery on all that once were beautiful. It blaokened with horrid impiety souls once noble and pure. It squan dered fortunes, crashed hopes, demoral ized manhood, destroyed intelect broke hearts, and damned souls. Not a night passed that the sky was not lurid with flames lighted by the torch ot drunken incendiaries. Every hour the soil was stained with human blood spilt by drunken assasins, every year our jaiis and prisons swing back their ponderous gates to receive a hundred thousand drunken criminals. Siity thousand rotting drunkards knocked at the door ef the sepulchie every year. Four hundred of them died by their own hands. Bettter for us that all the plagues of Egypt be licensed to dwell among us better that the pestilence never depart from our borders—than that rum continue its horrid desecrations. This demoniac traffiic confronted us to* day intrenched in our laws, defended by our press protected by our courts. Was it to be supposed that God looked down on this with careless vision: that lie would allow it to go on forever? History had been read to little purpose if it had not taught that a wicked people was held to account as surely as wicked men. Empires did not fajll while they deserved to stand. Licentiousness, debauchery, and crime shattered thepower of Baby

Ion. The

Goths and Huns had thundered in vain at the gates ot Rome had not corruption withered the strength of the Roman had people. Logic like this ran through all the ages ot history. There was nothing permanent, nothing finally triumphant that was in opposition to God's law. That law was the deadly foe of this accursed traffic in mm, and every Christian must be in deadly opposition to it also. This traffic would cease. Men would not forever permit fiends in human shape to do their foul deeds upon the souls of our boys in per feet security. There would come a time when men would see that it is better to have their boy's throats cut from ear to ear and their blood leave its red traces on the thresholds of their homes rather than they be made drunkards.

At Chatham, Eng., recently, some workmen in making excavation on an island, for dock purposes, found a large vessel several feet beneath the surfacc. She was probably one of several sunk 200 years ago to impede the Dutch fleet on its passsage up the Medway to destroy the dockyard. Seven guns, a quanity of shot, some tobacco pipes, and a coin dated 1653, were among the articles found on board.

An old fellow in Trenton got his ear boxed by a mule kicking him. and he was continually annoyed by his friends asking him what had happened to him so he got a large card and had printed on it "Go a bust in the snoot by a mule, and this is written for the benefit of jackasses." All who ran in his locality could read, but they didn'i stop to comment on the accident much.

THE DEBRIS OF THE SYSTEM Must either pass through its natural chan nels of exit, the bowels, the kidneys and the pores or, in default thereof, poison and disorder the fluids of the system'. In order to effect the complete expulsion of this dangerous refuse, the organs thiough which it passes off must be active and onobstructed Fortnnatcly there is a certain means of rendering them so when they are not. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters stimulate the action of the excretory organs, and by diffusing a general warmth through the circulation, encourage moderate perspiration. By this triple effect the exodus of the foecal and other waste matters are encouraged, and the system iTed from peril it would otherwise incur. The action of the bowels which follows the use of this beneficent alterative is easy and unaccompanied by gripping, and its stimulative effect upon the Urinary organs very conducive to their local health.
