I never do that," Mr. Gladstone said 1 sever allow myself to do it.

In the most exciting political crisis I dismiss current matters entirely from my mind on going to bed, and I will not think of them till I get up in the morning. I told Bright this, and he said, That's all very well for you, but my way is exactly the reverse. I think over all my speeches when I am in Like Bancho Panic, Mr. Gladstone has a great gift of sleep.

Holds Her on the Floor and Poors Boil-in Water on Her Head and Body. One of the most shocking cases of brutality and inhumanity towards a child by a parent that has ever come to the notice of the public occurred yesterday afternoon in a densely crowded tenement-house, at No. 427 East Nineteenth street. The inhuman parent is Owen Hefferan, a drunken sot, and the victim was his thirteen-year-old daughter, Mary Jane.

The girl now lies in Bellevne suffering the most intense agony from severe burns on her face, breast and arms, caused by scalding water that was deliberately poured on her, and the physicians In charge entertain slight hope of her recovery. The brutal father is a firisoncr in the East Twenty-second street po-ice station, where the mother is alo locked up with her eleven -months-old babe. No. 427 East Nineteenth street is a large double tenement-bouse, there being four families crowded on each floor. On the third floor a small front room and one adjoining it on the rear were occupied by the Hefferan family.

The latter consists of Owen, the father, who is a hcd-carrier by occupation; his wife Bridget and their three children Mary Jane, the victim; Johnnie, aged seven years; and Julia, the infant. Iu the front room, which serves as kitchen, dining-room and sitting-room the dirty, bare floor was Uttered by two old broken chairs, an old stove, a cradle, a deal-table and several soap boxes in lieu of chairs. In the adjoining room, which was devoid of any other furniture, lay a couple of filthy mattresses covered by a pile of rags, which answered as beds for the whole family. The stench of stale beer equalled that of th3 dives iu Mulberry Bend years gone by, and evidence of recent debauchery were everywhere visible. On a box stood a tin pail, used as a with the dregs of the last purchase Btill in the bottom, while broken tum-blers and tin-cups lay iu profusion about the floor.

Filth and dirt marked everything floor, walls, bedding and clothing, and emphasized the declarations of the neighbors that the whole family were addicted to debauchery. HeUeran broke a leg about three months ago whiie at work on a new building in Wed street, and since that time he has put in all his spare hours drinking. His employer has gn erousdy paid hini his wages regularly since the accident, but it proves to have been a most un wise act. The favorite drink of the parents is mixed ale, and the groggory at the corner fur ni? bed it in pint instalments to the thirteen year-old girl, ho also acquired a liking for the stuff, and every time she got a pint she would stop on the stairs and take a drink. A5 a re suit the child was nearly as drunk as her pa rt i ts all the time.

It seemed to bo a sort of field day in the deu yesterday, for the debauchery bi'jfan early in the morning. Between 10 a. m. and m. no Icsr than sixteen pints of mixed ale were bought by the irh The hubbub, obscenity, erieb and noise that emanated from the rooms were awful, and several times during tho afternoon the neigh bors nppaaled to Jan'tre-n ravers to put a stop to ic.

"U'ilh his JeTt hand lie held little Mtry by the hair, pressing her head down upon the stove hearth, wriile with his right h'md he was pouring tlie boiling contents of a t-u ket tie upon the child's iaee, neck, breast and arms. The crie of the child, though she was dazed with drink, were most h3rtreudinp, but they were drowned by the curses of her father. When the kettle was empty the brute desisted and the victim writhed and moaned piteously. The mother was too intoxicated to notice what was going on, and of course the child's appals tv wo. ori-l to tc wind.

K-1- ahV.ing what he bad done, Ilelleran, by advid of Mrs. Hiefcey. then undressed the child and tried to alleviate its sufferings by fanning her red, scalded body. It was while thus occupied that Officer Bernard J. Farreli attracted by the criei.

To defend her mother from further 'brutal attacks Mary had stepped between her The mon-ter became infuriated, sprang at the girl, r-eized har by tho hair, forced her head to the floor and proceeded to sen id her.

Something like head cattle are shipped from American ports every week to Europe, from the ports of New 'ork, Philadelphia. Baltimore. Ili ston ar.d Montreal.

In Lin-don the price cf a good bullock is from to Tfds mako the live stock shipment by the England worth not less than JHO.UiiU. Some time ago tho National lino stopped carrying passengers to Europe, in order to put their lino fleet into the cattle trade, and the results have proved the wisdom of this action. Cattle dealers are happy over this booming export trade. There is a small boom beginning in the sheep export trade likewise. The high price liecf in England has dragged along with it the prir-e of mutton, and where no shaep of any conpequence were sent out from America heretofore, several thousand go out every week now for England, chiefly shipped from Montreal, though they are American -sheep.

Tritvne. of Seme Interesting Ex- pemiiem! ra uermany. Some interesting experiments have been undertaken by Herr Herzberg, with the Co operation of Herr CL; Schulze, chief engineer of the Berlin works of Messrs. Frederick Siemens for the purpose oi ascertaining the loss of light in passing through window-glass of various kinds in general use. Tbe experiments were conducted with a Bunsen photometer, in which two Argand gas burners of equal illuminating power were placed at the two ends of tbe graduated bar.

After equality of illumination of the screen had been established, a plate of the glass to be tested was interposed between one of the end lights and tbe screen, and the extent of the displacement of the latter thus necessitated for the reestablishmont of equality of illumination on both sides gaves the measure of the opacity of the glass. A simple translucent bnt not transparent glass showed a loss of 27 per cent, of light Cathedra glass, such as is used in stained-glass work as a basisv being clear bnt with a slight ground tint showed a loss of 12 per cent. Plain cathedral glass with a white tint also showed a loss of 12 per cent. Plain" white Khenish double glass gave a loss of 10 per cent. Plain thin mirror glass obstructed 10 per cent, of light.

The two last together, with an interval of six centimetres between them, showed a loss of 21 per. cent. Cathedral and Rhenish double glass" together, with the same interval, showed a loss of 33 per cent. A ground glnss with cut stars together with a white back ground, such as is found In house fanlights, obstructed 00 per cent, of light. A new clean piece of ground glass without stars, together with the dusty white glass background as in the preceding experiment, showed a loss of 40 per cent.

Scientific How That Hymn was Written. As to the hymn in question, If it wa, "written in 1S44," Charlotte Elliott was then "a gay young girl" of fifty-five yean of age, having been born at Brighton, England, on the 18th of March, 1789. As a matter at fact, the hymn bears tbe date 1836, which would make the authoress 47 years of age at the time of writing, when any sue origin would obviously be too absurd to be nmaoea- Tbe origin Is Weil known. Miss Elliott had been a devout Christian for Tears, but torough physical -weakness and a protracted invalid condition had fallen into a state of spiritual depression, front which by God's blessing, she was relieved through' the visit of Dr. Cassar Halan at her home, and through aubsequent outiespondwace with him.

It was under the influence of tiie new hopes inspired, and the child-like faith wrought in her by tbe Holy Spirit's Messing on the valuable aid of this devoted man, that she wrote the hymn, "Just as I am, without on plea." Christian InUUiQencer. They Singularly Fail to Educate tlie Dear People. When the Saturday night concerts were established, they arranged also Friday afternoon rehearsals which were primarily designed to serve afnore miscellaneous audience and cr.4 with lees, leisure or less money or facilities for reaching Music Hall in the evening. The rehearsals are as perfect in their art as tho concerto, of which they are the exact duplicate, and it was supposed that many suburban people would be glad to avail themselves of the opportunity, and also students, women alone, and musical specialists who perhaps wished to study both concerts. The season tickets were placed at $7.50 to $13, and the entire upper balcony reserved at 2o cents a chair.

So far, so good. Bat last season the caprice of fashion steps in and puts its cachet npx the rehearsals." Not to be on evidence at a rehearsal was to argoe one's self unknown. Saturday nlzht began to be a favorite one for dinners, and tickets for the evening concerts were rather liberally loaned by their holders to their lesss fortutate friends. There were even a class of people with empty heads and full purses who would not have gone, if they could, on a Saturday night. They might by no meana be invited guests at a grand dinner, or entertaining guests themselves, but they believed in assuming a virtue, though they had it not.

Of courw this is a rather extreme statement. The world of fashion and the world of culture is very largely identical in Boston, for the very good reason that culture itself is fashionable. There is no large class of people whose chief claim to con sideration is their bank account. The typa is not without its representatives here, but it dees not exist in masses at all. There are not lacking an abundance of large and even colossal fortunes but for the most part, or at least to a very marked decree, culture, and refinement, and aimidicitv and sincerity accompany it.

and thus give to transient conveniences the stamp of permanent realities. Money alone cannot command that which is really best worth having in this world, but money com I a i by exalted can achieve what the qualities without means cannot com maud. And so the musical culture of Boston is too genuine for much display of pretension or ignorant arrogance to exist, yec occasion ally the type is seen. The rehearsals be comine the Dink, and ret. and pride of et elusive fashion, naturally the prices of the tickets advance from the modest limit first named In an ascending scale appalling to con template.

Every belle had her season re hearsal tickets, and her knot of violets as a matter of course. For the rehearsals" are largely before a feminine audience. They are the paradise of women, who compose at least two-thirds of all tn attendance.

Is the pressure for these Symphony cencert tickets based upon a genuine musical senti ment i the community upon au honest en thutdasm for high art? If it is, tho line in Mu-ic Hall alley is a glorious and most admirable thing. If it ifm't based upon ag.muine demand for high class music, but, instead upon a mere social craze, it is no especial credit to the town. And so far as the Listener has beard, there is no pretence anywhere that the audiences at the Symphony concerts are fairly tpresentative of the musical cultivation of They are the fashion.

One week ago it was merely an ordinary pn-k of red-backed cards, but a few eveuins since it performed such wonderful evolutions that it is now regarded as a little les than sacred. A quartet of well-known West Philadelphian-, namely: Ir. S. K. Skiilern, Oolonel Alexander V.

Tha last card in tho pack, hich he turned up for trumps, was the knave of diiunonds, and as the doctor examined liio hand ho discovered, to his astonish ment, thai it contained eery other card of tho suit twelve diamonds, nothing more, nothing less.

L'rc-'rtL Yards Out oi' Fashi-m.

The recent order of the IJrituhVdmiralty. directing that all tho subsidized merchu-it steamtrs intcmled in time of war shall strip themselves of yards, bus been complijd with by all the pnbddized vessels sailing out of this port. Not only thejWritisb vessels bu th ise of other nations are accepting the nev or things, and all appearances point to thy doing away with spars of all descriptions aboard the great liners, Tho vessels entering this port coining under the recent order of the British Admiralty belonging tj the White Star, Cun-ard. and finnan Lines. The old subsidized vesveiis of the White Star Idne, the Germanic, Adriatic, Celtic, and Brit- tic, cannot, under any circamstancep, carry yards.

The City of Paris and City of New York both made their advent rigged as barkantines. They are now reduced to the rig of three-masted schooner. Th8 White Star steamers, with the exception of the Teutonic and Majestic, are bark riffged, and have in addition a jigger mast. Ia the. case of the Cunard people, their vessels ore being stripped to comply with the recent order.

The North German Uoyd ships seem to be following the British practice. Until a short time ago their vessels were fitted with four masts, square riggcsl in the foremast, with a lower topsail and topgallant yard. Now not a yard is to be seen on any one of the North German Lloyd steamers. The Kaiser WUhelm, recently seen in this port, made her appearance Yfth a fore and aft rig.

Contrasting the late John Bright and Mr. Gladstone, the Sheffield (Eng.) Independent says: The only casual indications that Mr. Glad stone has entered his eightieth year are an in creasing deafness and a slight huskiness in his voice, which latter wears off as Le tlks, and he talks with abounding freeness, thoogh, as some one observed, ha is also most attractive listener." One notable thing about his personal appearance Is the brightness of his eyes.

They are fuller and more unclouded than those of many a man under fifty. Mr. Gladstone was dowered at his birth with a magnificent constitution, but he has all his life taken great care of it. Talking about Mr. Bright, he spoke regretfully of the carelessness -with which his old friend dealt with himself.

"Bright," be said emphatically, "did nothing he should do to preserve his health, and everytttins; he should If he had only been wise, and wise in time, there in Mr. Gladstone's opinion, no reason in tbsfworld why he should not have been alive today, hale and strong. Bnt henever would listen to advice about himself. Mr. Gladstone told a fanny little story about Mr.

Bright's habits on this score. Up to within the last ten years he had no recognised medical attendant. There was some anonymous ssad unknown person to whom he went for advice, and of whom be spoke cracnlarly.

His present condition as a citizen is not sat isfactory to him, or to ourselves, or to the peo ple of any part of the eqpntry. He cannot baj regarded as established forever in a laborer's place.

He is becoming better educated every year, and we are helping to educate him. His labors are not now confined to the cotton field or the phosphate mine, and the range of his activities is being rapidly extended by our aid, freely bestowed in a thousand school-bouses. This kind of aid has been given to him for more than two decades, and he is no nearer to sympathizing with us in political or other public questions than he was at the beginning of that period. 41 The colored people," says the representative of the phosphate interest whose views we have published, were naturally glad the republican party won, and that was alL" And that is enough, surely I Naturally, or unnaturally, many of the colored voters of South Carolina are identified with the republican party. What this means to South Carolina, and what it will always mean, does not require to be told anew to any intelligent man in South Carolina.

1 nothing to say about the political bearings of the case," says our exponent of the labor sidrof the question. But something must be safe, and something must be done, by the erpoiswrtsof the political side of the question. What is to be done? It is idle to contemplate an1- indefinite continuance of existing conditions. Tbe white voters in South Carolina are in a numerical minority. They cannot expect to retain political control of the state, and their present representation in congress and in the Klectoral college, at the same time.

They cannot disfranchise the colored voters as a class. Tbev have no intention of imposing educational or other disqualifications in tbe exercise of the suilrage which will disfranchise a part of their own numbers. They certainly do not desire to have the state remain for years tho subject of political experiments and political agitations, conducted by an outside and unfriendly organization, to the injury of the every important interest in the Btate. The Few Orleans Tinges-Democrat published a week ago a careful review of the progress of the Southern states since the war. Louisiana, and Mississippi, and South Carolina are at the foot of the list, with South Carolina last of all These three states are characterized by the preponderance of colored laborers and colored voters in their territory.

They are the political battle-grounds of this country. The presence of an immense body of colored laborers plainly does not compensate them for the presence of a majority of colored "citizens." Tbe situation is not at all satisfactory, upon examination, and there Is no promise of its improvement, that any man can see, so long ns the white people of the state are a minority of the population of the state. The removal of the excess of the colored population will re move the occasion and the cause of our political troubles without seriously affecting any interest. There is no other mode of rolief open to us. The News and Courier believes, it cannot but believe, that it is the part of wisdom to get rid of that excess at the earliest practicable day.

Charleston News and Courier It Would bo Well to Treat Hand-Gripping Nuisances in this Waj. all A man about town, who is well known to all frequenters of the Hoffman House, tho Gil-aey and the uptown clubs, and who is liked by nearly everybody, is just now in a peculiar and rather serious predicament. He has boeii boycotted by a large circle of the leisure class in which he exists. He does not know it, per-happ, as they have not cut him in the usual direct and frigid way, but there if? an organized fctTort an as the longshoremen's Blrike in London to bring him to time. One of tbe boycotters explained the case to me yesterday as follows: "He is a splended fellow socially jovial, generous and one of the best story tellers in town.

He is a good deal of an athlete, belongs to the Monhutten Athletic Club u.n.1 several others and prides himself on his aU around strength ns well as on his physique.

Another trick of his is to slap you on the 'g hen he sits down besido ou, so that you wince ith pr.h:.

About two months ego the male accu pants of the building were dazzled nt the appearance of a demure and beautiful brunette, who paid no attention to tho hundreds of admiring glances which were thrown at her.

For some cause our so-called parochial system, which is really a congregational system, does not reach tfae musses of the people. That is the deplorable fact: and it behooves tha Church to meet the duty It Implies. If the parochial system cannot reach the musses, it is the part and duty of tha Church to discover and provide something else that will: and who is to discern it If not the great council which has mads itself the board of missions of the whole Church!
