Tyng, Jr., Of New York, met in that city on

Bishop Quintard, Of Tennessee, recently
administered the rite OF confirmation TOR the
Archbishop of York, the first time such SER
vice was ever performed in England by an
American bishop. Bishop Quintard is having
great success in raising funds to endow the
University Of the South. It seems to be tax
ing the form Of 3 testimonial Of brotherly feel
ing from England to the people Of the South
ern States.
The French infantry are being trained to
new sha1pshooters' drill They form loose
square, each man sets up his napsack before
him and secures it with his tent pegs, places
the two sticks used for the tents Gabrf on each
side Of the knapsack, and spreads his blanket
over It es curtain, behind which he crouches
and fires. At six hundred yards the men are
thoroughly concealed, and this protection,
though not very effectual, might make the men
think themselves more secure.
The New York Times (Republican) says:
sDoubt no longer hangs over the purposes of
the extremists. The conferences with MIR.
Stevens, the resolutions Of MessIs. Epson and
Boutwell, In the House, and the more specific
propositions Of MIR. Morton in the Senate, all
point to the same result. The Reconstruction
lawis not to be allowed 10 run it's course. 1t ID
to be stopped on the plea that its working is
not according to Radical notions. The whole
question is to be reopened, and the confusion
that exists in the South is to be "worse con-
founded in order that early and peaceful res
toration may be rendered impossible. Instead
OF reconstruction We are to have disorganiza-
tsn."
The New York Sun, which has attained
merited popularity under the management OF
Mr.. Beach, is to be thoroughly and fearfully
radicalized by Dana and the company which has
purchased it. But while the new paper is yet
hardly incubated, another has made it's ap-
pearance, called the Daily Star, purporting to
derive its light direct from the extinct lumina-
ry, and to revolve in the same orbit. The edi-
tors Of the Star intend to contest the favor Of
the SUMS supporters end friends with the new
Radical rival, and state that, if Mr. Beach was
willing TO sell out his paper to be used for the
betrayal Of the working classes into the hands
Of the Radicals. they intend to stand by their
interests. They also suggest that the 100000
paid for the Sun will prove bad investment
tor Dana and his fellow politicians.
The Fenian sensation in England has fur
nished subject Of discussion for the French
press which, while not inimical to Ireland,
seems to look upon such crimes as the attempt
10 blow up the Clerkenwen prison as calcula-
ted to injure the Irish cause. The apprehen-
aion Of q repetition Of similar acts appears to
have caused reign Of mingled terror ard
rage in the usually quiet English communi-
ties. The London Times announces that the
disturbers OF the peace will be vigorously dealt
with. In other English journals various acts
Of justice and concession to Ireland are sug-
gbsted, but a Fenian writer in an English peri
odical whose views have attracted much at
tention, has thrown cold water on all plans Of
compromise by boldly declaring that Ireland
viii be satisfied with nothing but indepen-
dence. He. says they would rather have bad
government and bad lews of their own making
than good ones of English manufacture.
Fifteen Thousand women, according to the
lowest estimate Of the Evening Post, earn
their living in New York under conditions
which are far from satisfactory. Popular pre-
judice is the hardest obstacle against which
they have to contend, and that not the preju-
dice OF others, but Of their own minds. A
woman OF education in reduced circumstances
can, If she has capital, open boarding-house,
and il shs has not, can teach. Those are about
the only occupations which her notions of re-
speotabiity allow her, and as consequence
the business is overstocked. Those women OF
