Astob, of New York, has spent 15, 000 in securioK homes for poor children, Mayob Edsos's first official duty was to marry a couple, but be failed to kiss the bride. Thk Sun claims that General Grant never usee a profane word except possibly in a quotation. Ex-Cleric Man, who jumped from the pulpit to the stage, is said to be meeting with gratifying success in the west. A yoETtrsK teller once said of that he would twice rule ths destinies of France and then die at the hands of a woman. Folk's defalcations in Tennewee topi off very nicely the large monument of similar offenses throughout the country during the past year.

The beautiful Mrs. Don Cameron, who has been so exclusive as to give rise to offense, has consented to dazzle Washington society with her presence. Tux Boston Globe affixes D. Ph. to the name of the editor of the Boston Advertiser.

And still it is claimed that Boston is the Athens the New World. It is estimated that the amount of property destroyed in this country and Europe dor log the past year, reaches the enormous sum sum of $400,000,000. The best guarantee of peace in Europe is the disordered condition of ths finances of all the great nations. Russsia, Germany, Aus tria, France, Italy and Spain are all very poor. Edwin Booth has hired a theater in Berlin, and will there enact tragedy.

It is to be hoped that the Germans will not have the same aversioa for him that they do for American pork. A novo the Washington correspondents there are some who are well off. W. B. Shaw of the Bo ton Transcript, worth over 100, -000, and Frank Richardson of tne Baltimore Sua, is about similarly well provided for.

Many other correspondents own the houses in which they live. The oldest correspondent in Washington is Ben. 1'erlcy Poore of the Boston Journal, although he is not the oldest newspaper man. Judge Noah of the New York Truth and Denver Repblican, monopolizes that distinction. His father, the late M.

Noah of New York, was the leading editor of his day, and his son was brought up in a newspaper ornce. Mr. Noah has heid.every position connected with a newspaper, from printer's devii to editor-in-chief. He is one of the most industrious and capable journalists here. Thi editor of the Chicago Tn'er-Ocean has been to see Mrs.

Languy, and the readers of his papers have to suffer in consequence. He douches upon them a column and a half of reflections. Among the multitude of things he has to say about her, he remarks that her face and figure are disappointing to expectant people mainly because they fail in sensu-ousness and responsiveness. They make no Immediate appeal, as do the forms and faces of so many other beautiful women, to the senses. They stand ofT in the distance, suggesting at once all the faults and the excellences of the Greek type.

The shape and pose of the bead, the rise of the neck from the shoulders, the harmony of the features, all are picturesque without being satisfactory. Although the editss- does not think that the impression is at first pleasant, he was not wholly disappointed. 'With familiarity, he adds, wiere comes a thawing out and a mastery of details. The eyes, ears, nose, mouth, chin, hair, all bear close examination and improve under it. The sculpturesque beauty and pure iovUness of the back of the neck and shoulders strike the vision as would the sudden traveling of the hand's breadth of delicately finished statue.

Those who have read In the British Court Circular at Christmas time about th bar- on, 1 have probably wondered what wa meant. The London correspondent of the Bun explains. The baron, he says, "Is not an sged cob' em a or valetudinarian peer, taken from one royal residence to another it is the Queen's roast beef for Christmas day, which, according to established custom, most once bave been a ox on her home farm, and which precedes or follows her, as th case may be, in her yearly flittings, so as to grace her table on the 25lh of December. Tois baron of beef, this ennobled piece of meat, is as much a part of the British institutions as the army and navy, the constitution, the Lord Mayor's thow and monarchy without it would feel itself tottering on the throne. The baron has its retinue, its court, so to speak it is brought oa the table with a fixed ceremonial, it is carved according to etiquette, it has to be flanked by the head of a bear.

1c has so far sacrificed to ths protrrexs of time, that it no longer expect this boar's head to be sent from Germany as it was in the reign of George 11. and his immediate suooestors, and it consents to be placed opposite one of English descent and manufacture. The trilogy is completed by a huge woodcock pie, may be in some occult way related to the historic pie of the twenty-four blackbirds: but, anyhow, her Majesty would refuse to sit down to her dinner if she did not see spread out before her the Fame Immutable, unchanging Christmas fare. These outward signs of rejoicing are nearly the only ones by which ths festive seison is inaugurated and the example given by Osborne is rigidly followed all over the land. 1 Thk Germanisai.o- of Alsace and Ior- raine, says tne Sim, 'goes on at a rapid pace.

The German authorities leave no stone unturned in the work of destroying everything French. Even the sermon in the churches at Metz are now delivered in German, and the French population has not made the slightest protest. The fact is that the French of A Is ice and Lorraine are thoroughly humiliated. They bow before their conquerors like slaves. The wealthy proprietors, who can afford to leave, have gone to Paris, or elsewhere, often even neglecting to let or sell their houses or linds.

The peasantry are perfectly callous. Their pint seems to have disappeared altogether. ud, as a Lorrainer remarked to the correspondent of an English newspaper, they don't care so long as they can get a good price for crops it is all the same to them whether the money is fa francs or marks. Meantime afar the frontier the young people are sent to Nancy and oier French towns to school, and few return to their birth-places. The French government itself is indirectly aiding the work- It has prohibited the publication of the map of France with Alsace and Lorraine attached marked with a black tint.

The language frontier, which was once far to the east of Metz, has moved rapidly westward. In Metz French is stm much spoken, bat German is the oillcial language, and the names of the streets, for instance, where they remain pouted up tn Frencn are dirty and dingy, while where they have been translated into German they are bright and dear in white and blue enamel. Metz is a most dismal town, although there are no less than 18,000 troops quartered there. At nrst these soldiers had double pay, and the shopkeepers profited thereby but tiiis creased pay has been discontinued, and the Germans have their own messes ana casinos supplied from Germany. In the fortress itself every precaution is taken that the misfortune which befell Baeaine shall not overtake the victors.

The supplies of provisions are calculated for a siege of several months' duration, and the more perishable articles are constantly re newed. Near the frontier the state of armed neutrality which really exists between the two nations is everywhere apparent. At all use railway stations and bridges, in addition to the custom bouse official, there are strong military detachments. The French are by no means behindhand, and it is said that the mil lions of francs the toss of which could nor, be arrounted for were really spent upon fortifica tions not fpecifled in ths plans of the minister of war." Eiurxsv RnwAJf, the author of the famous Life of Christ, wrote a Christmas letter to the rabbis of Santo, Hungary, that shows the baseless character of one of the charges that ignorant fanaticism has often made against the Jews. Bonu time ago a young Christian girl disappeared mysteriously from a small locality catied Ttssa Ezlar.

The Jew ieh community were charged with having en tic-Mi the girl to their place of worship and of having sacrificed her in what was represented to be an old reliijious ceremony. The deed was said to have taken place at midnight and sereral uortsciaa tnnabttants of tne vil age were reported to have witnessed it. lengthy judicial investigation led to the dis charge of those who had been arrested on sns- escHan.

Had patriotism possrssed any potency, the humiliating fact would not have to be recorded that of the enormous quantities of grain shipped from country in 188S, not single bushel was transported in an American vessel. Foreigners could offer better terms to shippers than American and they got the business they reaped the harvest. This they have been doing for years. They will continue to do it for years to come unless congress awakes from its lethargy and adopa policy that will secure the revival of the American merchant marine. Thit policy mart not be the subsidy policy.

The United States treasury is not an eleemoysenary institution. The ships belonging to our merchant marine should not be made floating beggars. What i wanted is a policy that will enable the American ship owner to purchase his ships as cheaply as his foreign competitors and to run them without a greater cost than that to which foreign ship owners are subjected. Free ships must constitute a part of that policy. The opposition to free ships is not well founded.

The statement that they will da stroy American ship-building is not true. The only ship-building existing in this coun try is the construction of wooden ships. It Is universally acknowledged that no nation in the world can build them as cheaply and as well as we can. So we have nothing to fear from foreign cnpetition. That which we have not done and cannot do is to build Iron steamships in competition with foreigners.

The shipbuilders on the Clyde and elsewhere can beat us to death. Both labor and mate rials are cheaper in Great Britain than they are here. As a consequence we have no iron ship building interest in this country. How can it be destroyed by permitting Americans to go to England or Germany and purchase their iron steamships Every other great nation in the world, with the possible exception of Italy, allows it citisens to procure ships wherever they please. When England used wooden ships and could not build them so cheaply as the Americans, she was on of our customers.

She was thus enabled to maintain in competition with ns her position upon the ocean. As soon as iron steamships came into use, she was in a position to supply her own wants. Germany has pursued the same policy. Without ever having pail a dollar the shape of subsidies to either ship builders or ship owners, she has a flourishing merchant marine and is the possessor of a considerable iron ship-building interest. Her tonnage in 1856-7, when ours began to decline, -was 168, 000 tons it is now 950, -000 tons.

The purchase of foreign built ships led to the construction of yards for their repair and repairing has led to the building of ships. Germany not only builds the nuut of her own ships, but she has also built some for China and other nations. It is not unreasonable to ask that we be allowed to pursue the same course. No harm will be done for wa have no iron ship-building interest to destroy. A vast amount of good will be done for, besides a merchant marine, we shall have an opportunity to build up naturally, as Germany has done, an American ship-building interest.

The opposition to this plan comes chiefly from John Rosch. He acknowledges that iron steamships cannot be built as cheaply here as in England. Hs, tLerefore, wants the government to pay him $34 on every ton of shipping that he or any other American ship builder will set afloat or, in other words, he demands a subsidy of 1 102, 000 on every 3, 000-ton ship that he or anybody else in this country will build. Adopting tiie dog-in-the-manger policy, he stands in the way of a great reform. If he cannot get his subsidies, he does not propose to let the American ship owner purchase foreign built ships, re-establish the old and honorable position of the American Sag upon the ocean, and thus save to Americans the $140, 000, 000 a year that are now paid to foreign shippwior8 for the transportation of freigtt and passengers.

There are circumstances under which it is far better to give this enormous sum to foreigners than to attempt to put it into the pockets of Americans. Unless a repeal of our odious shipping laws can be secured and the numerous burdens, such a compulsory pilotage, consular fees, local taxation, ex-orbinant hospital fees, harbor master' fees, port warden' fees, quarantine fees and ton nage taxes, greatly reduced or entirely abol isbed, there is no need of free'ships, and the pajment of subsidies will simply be a useless expenditure of money. At present it is cheaper for us to employ the ships of foreign owners. The fact stated at the beginning of this article places this assertion beyond ques tion. To employ American ships which have been subsidised is taking from us indirectly in the shape of taxes that which we refuse to give directly in the shape of increased freight rates.

If patriotism does not permit us to do the latter, why should it permit us to do the former By giving us free sdps and re moving the burdens that have bsen mentioned, we shall not be called upon to do either. The American ship owner will then be as advan tageously situated Jas his foreifrn competitors. If he cannot compete with them as successfully a he did thirty years ago, it ii his own fault. Providence alone can remedy such a defect. Thi Hon.

Lot M. Morrill, who ts dying as these lines are written, long occupied a prominent position In national affairs, and had throughout his public career the sincere respect of the country. He was born in Belgrade, Kennebec county, Maine, In 1815, pursued a partial course in Waterville college studied law and was admitted to the bar in 1839. He was a member of the Maine as sembly in 1854, and of th senate In 1858, of which he was president. He was elected governor of Maine in 1S58.

and re-elected in 1859. In 1861, he was elected a senator in congress for the unexpired term of Hanni bal Hamlin, elected vice president. He was re-elected to the senate for a full term, in 18C3, and again to succeed William P. Fes senden for the term ending in 1877. Upon hie retirement from the senate, he was ap pointed collector of customs, at Portland, which position he held until his death.

He was an able and upright man, whose loss will be mourned sincerely. He had been very sick for several weeks, and his death was not unexected. Thi dividend declared by the New York Tribune is gratifying as the evidence of the skill with which it has been conducted and the prosperity that attends it. Whitelaw Raid has shown rare exiKmtlve ability daring the ten years he has beim at the head of the paper. The erection of the great build.

tog in which the Tribune is made, finished as it was just as the financial panic began, somewhat retarded the progress of the Tribune but enterprise and pluck have surmounted all obstacle and made it one of the best newspaper properties la the country and now the building is a source of large revenue. Mr. Reid is to be congratulated upon bis phenomenal success in journalism, The Tribune was never better or more influential than it is to-day. The Hon. Henry W.

Seymour, a former well known citiaen of this county, is rapidly win ning honors in his home in Northern Michigan. Two years ago, he waa elected a member of the lower house of the Michigan legislature and was made chairman of the important committee on apportionment. He has recently been elected senator from the thirty-first dis trkrt, by a majority of lt900, ruanfng ahead of his ticket In nearly very county. He has also been appointed by the superintendent of public instraction one of the state visitors to the University of Michigan.

The question as to whether the Common- council will pass the resolution for the re moval of the bridges across the abandoned Genesee Valley canal, notwithstanding the objections of the mayor, will come before the council for determination this evening. It 1 a question which has reference, not only to the interests of the locality directly concerned but also to those of the entire city, affecting, as It does, the safety and welfare of its citisens, as well as the demands which the Gen esee Valley railroad makes In the premises.

It should, therefore, be looked at from the largest standpoint, and considerations of safety for the city and good faith upon the part of the road should be quit as persuasive, as an impulsive submission to the corporation, which has already received the most signal favors from the city. Rochester has never been backward in Us aid has rendered, the lagesset It iiasCgd-and the gratuities it. hr glventb "railroad corporations, upon tie plea that they would contribute to its expansion and The argiments of tht corporations, based upon the benefit they world confer upon th city, have never been wtttout fore, and in th request now preferrel by the Genesee Valley railroad, a certain pSunlbfUty must be admitted but the more comprehensive view is that it is asking more than should be granted, and undoubtedly mors than the city has the legal right to grant. We have read with great care the veto of Mayor Parsons, with admiration for the clear and succinct method in which he presents his conclusions, and with respect for the manner in which he emphasises the equities Involved and indicates the perils to which the city may subject Itself by hasty and ill- considered action. The mayor has written many veto messages, during his long incum bency of his oiiice, but he has written none which gives evidence of greater intelligence or of a more sincere solicitude to protect the right and secure the weal of tto municipality over which he presides than the one under review.

He believes, as we think all good citisens, upon reflection, must believe, that the resolu tion is dangerous because it ignore the eon-tract of last August, and leaves Plymouth avenue and West avenue still at the mercy of such further importunities as the road may choose to make upon the good nature of the Common -council. The resolution also leaves a number of matters unguarded, which should be specifically formulated, before the road receive the privileges which craves, if such privileges are, in any event to be accorded. Notably among these are, to quote the words of the veto, the importance of regulating and specifying the number of tracks, which should cross streets at grade, and, particularly in view of the fact that the railroad company own una enough upon which to build and operate at least eight distinct and separate tracks. But above and beyond these considerations. it remains true that the overwhelming sentiment of the people is opposed to grade cross ings of our street by railroads.

That issue has been fought out with the great corporation, the lines of which traverse the state from New York to Buffalo, and upon that issue the city, after a oonteet of ten or fifteen years, has won. The New York Central passeB through the city upon elevated tracks. Is it wise now to let down the bars for other roads, and to again en danger the lives and property of our citisens, at the behest of any corporation The public sentiment upon this subject was so pronounced that, last May, the Common council by a unan imous vote, upon the motion of Alderman Chambers, refused permission to this very Gen esee Valley road te eross any street- gradec and directed the city authorities to take all legal and necessary measure to prevent any such crossings being made. It may furthermore be well doubted whether the council has power to direct the railroad company to remove the bridges. They are the property of the state and the council ha no right to commit the city to any liability responsibility to the state for their removal.

we need not extend the argument to greater length. Pnblio opinion, based upon the equities and rights of the city, is, we are satisfied hostile to the removal of the bridges, and th entrance of the road at grade, Th advantages to the city, from the running of this railroad th opening of a new artery of commerc are aot, indeed, to be overlooked; but the road will have ample facilities for its baseness, without a reversal of the policy that the city, after sad experience, in regard to grade crossings, ha deliberately adopted. The council may weU pans and heed the public voice, before it over-rides the excellent veto of bis honor, the Mayor. TBI ooliislca of sh Kirby Hail tuid ths City of Bnuecls In th Herwy, dUtMaem from iiTOpoo, Ntms to be, to far can Montatitied, 'hscnimb aocidect. Al-tiumgfa no mwitioa has bees mad) jot of neg ttgtooa, wa cannot doubt that thara was tuoh Degliseeoa on the part of aoma oua.

It ja stated that alter tha City of BroaatOi foua-arad, the fog-horn waa eoaitded at and tbe toamer'g beU kept ringing. How the Kirby Hall should have failed to hear to much noise pawei onderrtaxtdiiig. Th lookout on the Orby Hall most hare been drunk, a-leep or off duty. The fog horn of an ocean teafuarutakes noiaa enough to awake the dead almost. It oertainiy ts oap-ble of being heard tn ome to- prevent a eoytalon like that that occurred in tth Heraey.

Vt coarse it may be poanbla that no fog-horn waa blown and bo hM rune In that erent the officer of the City of Braaaek were guilty of groat negligence. Whaterer the truth may he, wa feel are that aU of 11 hae not ooma to light. this a in Ezlar affair was turned to account by the Hungarian fanatic who attended the recent Semitic congrens, and it required the di interference of the minister -president to quell the dangerous and discreditable move ment thus set on foot. M. TiBsa's intervention came rather late, and was, perhaps.

as spontaneous as it might have been, but has, for the present at all events, put an end the scandal of an open anti-Jewish crusade Kenan's remarkable letter runs thus Of all the calumnies prompted by hatred fanaticism the most absurd is certainly that accusing the Jews of murder tn order to obtain material for sanguinary religious ceremonies. One of the chief characterlitics of Jewish religion is the prohibition of blood human food. This measure of precaution, which in former times was calculated to inspire respect for life, has been conscientiously observed by the Jews even at periods and under circumstances of civilisation that rendered it painful. And yet it is now maintained that pious Jew, who would rather die of hunger than eat a piece of meat not thoroughly cleansed from blood, has tasted blood at a religious ceremony. That is a monstrously stupid assertion.

I am fully convinc i that none of the stories connected with that sanguinary Easter meal have the remotest foundation. If such a deed had really been perpetrated, not only would it be necessary to admit that the wretches guilty of it had violated Jewish prescriptions, but I go further, and not believe that such a crime could be committed. Human imagination is very fruitful in the sphere of calumny. The fable of mysterious meals, where human blood has been tasted, has always been a favorite accusation against those whom blind prejudice has thought to ruin. This same calumny was ut tered against the Christians.

And yet the sacrament of Christians had never bean pol luted through such a wicked proceeding. The Easter festivities of the Jews are equally in nocent. It would be worthy of Christendom prevent this disgraceful falsehood, which beean bv icilictins: so much sufferine on Chris tians, being now turned to account against other I odies.
