ONE Of New York is much in the habit of
creating sensations. At one time 1t is by
making millions in stock gambling; at an
other by driving the biggest and most costly
turnout in Central Park; at another by
giving dinner parties, with thousand dollar
present on every lady's plate; at another
as headcentre Of the new Jerome race
course, which has inaugurated on this side

Derby. His last role is in the character Of q
patron (ii not pattern) Of gentility, in the
rising generation. lie sent to Rev. DR..
Maclean, President of Princeton College, the

The character Of q gentleman / consider with

Mr.. JerOme's offer has been widely copied
and commented on; and some of the papers
we see, are really hoping that considerable
improvement in our American manners,
which Mr.. jerome is quite correct in saying
are rather rough" may date from the
establishment of this medal. We doubt it,
By the terms Of the gift, the Princeton boys
are to fix the standard of gentility, in award

possibly not agree with others. 1t would not
be very strange if 1t shou ID turn out that
the medal is commonly given to the most
dashing and popular young gentleman of his

DEArH or MISS SEDGwIck. Miss Catha,

OF family eminent for talent is dead. A tel
egram designates Roxbury, Mass, as the
place of her death, but this is probably a
mistake, for Stockbridge, is where she was
born and spent much Of her life. She was
the daughter Of Theodore Sedgwick, famous as
a revolutionary officer, as judge and
United States Senator. Her brother and
his son, who each bore the name Of Theodore,
were also prominent as lawyers and pub
lie men. Miss Sedgwick made her first ap
pearance as an Buthoress in 1922. by the pub
LEGATION of her New England Tale, which
was followed two years later by Redwood. !"

mors concerning Mr.. Stanton which have
gained force so rapidly within two days rest
upon firm foundation. The Presidents
hate has brought him to point where he
seems determined to get rid of the Secretary
of War He has set upa claim that he can re-
move him in spite ofthe Tenure of Office Law,
on the ground that it was passed after Mr..
Stanton appointment. lfhis Attorney Gen
eral will not bear him out in this plan, he is
to force him to resign by such treatment as
1t is hoped will compel it. If Mr.. Stanton s
most intimate friends know his determination,
he will not consent to removal, but will re.
tain his place and force the President TO vi
olate the law TO remove him. General Grant
stands firmly by Stanton, and as yet the Pres
ident is powerless before them. The Secretary
of War has no idea Of resigning, but conhdent>
ly expects an order Of removal.
