There is an effort, supported by the Herald, OF
foot in New York to abolish, virtually, the Sab
both and all its wholesome ordinances. pub
lie meeting has been called for some locality II

principally foreigners who are engaged in it. W.
hope the day will never come when American
born citizens will cease to " Remember the Sab

Meantime there is movement on foot in Phila
delphia led by the clergy to stop the running O
city cars and to suppress other secular employ
ments on the Sabboth, far possible. The
move is commendable one

Mrs. Cunningham of Burdell and bogus baby
notoriety has turned up again. She occupies q
respectable looking brick house sup town. next
door to the elegant residence of Mr. Bryant
editor of the New York Post. A Sunday pape,
says:
1.-The town residence of Mr.. Bryant is East 10th
St, near Second avenue, and in the house adioin-
| ing, towards Third avenue, Mrs. Cunningham has
taken up her abode. The four-story brown stone
'front.' with massive steps and impressive bow
windows is Mr.. Bryants house; exterlorally, and
the interior arrangements-it having been built
to his own order--are doubtless in beautiful har-
mony with his cultivated and exquisite tastes
plain two-story brick house is that occupied by
Mrs. Cunningham, one of the three similar con-
tiguous houses, built several years ago, which
have not yet given way to the uptown encroach-
ment OF palatial residences. But proximity to
such nelghbor, may be supposed, was not al
together reshed by Mr. Bryant, as soon as the
tact became known to him. He has used every
decent means in his power to procure her eject
ment by the landlord but without success. Mrs
Cunningham pays her rent regularly. The land
lord-as is the case with all landlorls-has high
appreciation OF rent paying tenants. The com
plants Of the sorrowing Mr.. Bryant have proved
impotent alongside of Mrs. Cunningham's rent
paying p9nctualy Mrs. Cunningham still re-
mains Mr.. Bryant still complains. II is likely
that Mrs. Cunningham will continue her sojourn
i'll 10Th street. 1t is not unlikely that Mr.. Bryant
will continue to pour his complaints upon the
pitiess of the obdurate landlord.
What cannot be cured must be endured Mrs
Cunningham is in her new abode, and Mr.. Bryant
is in for it. A lively Imagination, the endow-
ment of the poetical, is Mr.. Bryants. With such
an Imagination, it can hardly be supposed that

The Washington Constitution of Saturday con-
tains five column review of Senator Douglas
late Magazine manifesto. We will notice it at
some length in day two.
The new York Tribune is full OF laudations of
the Republican candidates for State officers just
nominated at Syracuse.
A proposition to invite the Great Eastern to Wis
it the port of Norfolk, and to extend TO her Off
GERS the hospitality of the city was recently made
before the Council Board of that city, and voted
down.
. There was great military display in Baltimore
on Monday last, it being the anniversary of the
battle of North Point. The day was spent in
parade, speeches, feasting, &c. Besides the mil
itary belonging to the city some companies were
present from other cities All went off well.
A contention has been going on recently be-
tween what called the upper and lower routes
that is the Wilmington & Weldon and Man
chester line and the route over the N G. Road by
Charlotse. We should be glad to see peace be
tween these rivals for public favor.
