David Groesbeck, "a successor of some of
the original inhabitants" of this town, finds
fault with Trinity church, and prays in the
courts for remedy against her abuses.
One of his grievances is that she ''has allowed
vice and immortality to increase in the city"
We know that they have increased, and If
Trinity is the power that is responsible for
this evil and ought to have prevented 1t we
heartily join in his prayer. Why did she not
stop it? She has money enough. She could
pay as many preachers as there are Peter
Funks, dog-nghters, ropers-in and rowdies in
all the wards Of Trinity parish Why did she
not fee these missionaries and neutralize the
vice? She is to blame. On this charge we
condemn her. Another charge is that she Is
wasting the money of the Trinity estate.
Of this charge we find that she Is
not guilty. We never knew her to waste
cent. All the money changers in the temple
were fools to her in handling cash. Another
charge is that she has treated the Legislature
with contempt. Herein we sympathize with
her. It is the only absolutely just thing we
ever heard Of her. She shall not be punished
for it. She is charged with laying up treasures
on earth in bonds and mortgages-in seeking
to acquire political weight in neglecting the
poor and pampering to the worldly minded;
and of all these heinous offences we are sorely
afraid she is guilty. For this we are willing
to consent that her wealth shall go to the poor
for whom it was gathered, through the hands
of receiver-that is, il any can get through.
But 1t is great difficulty that wealth is SO apt
to adhere to the hands of these receivers. On
this subject IL is best to consult the Pacific
Railroad men-Fisk, Jr., and Peter b. Swee-
ny-who understand the whole game of APP
pointing receivers.

News FROM CUBA VIA WASHINGTON. Every
few days the Washington correspondents of
the newspapers send off batch Of wonderful
news from Cuba, which has reached that little
inland town the Lord knows how and the Lord
knows from where. If in the preparation Of
their inventions these Washington newsmong-
ers would pay little more attention to the
established earmarks of reliable news, such as
dates, mode Of transit and geographical con-
gruity in its statements, the public might be led
to place some reliance in them. The latest Of
these states that an engagement is daily ex-
pected between the forces of General Lescs
and General Jordan, when, according to our
last advices from Cuba, about four hundred
miles of very difficult territory intervene be-

English Diplomatic Roast Beef and Plum
Pudding mt Washington.


Dining and diplomacy have always gone to-
gether from the beginning. We read in the
Holy Scriptures that the two angels, or ENJOYS
extraordinary, whom God sent on mission to
Lot, in Sodom, although with diplomatic
formality declining his hospitality at first,
ended by accepting 1t as precedent for all
future ambassadors. ''He made them feast
and did bake unleavened bread and they did
eat" The failure of one of the earliest en-
bassies on record-that of the messengers
whom Israel sent unto Sihon, King of the
Amorites-may possibly be accounted for by
their having neglected to carry cook along
with them. DIR. John G. Draper, philosophi-
cal historian, goes so far as to endorse the
claim of cook, who thus POLITICALLY traces the
origin of civilization and society itself to the
art Of cookery
The art OF cookery drew us gently forth
From That ferocious life, when, void OF faith,
The anthropophaginian ate his brother
To cookery we owe well ordered states,
Assembling men In dear society.
Wild was the earth man feasting upon man,
When one OF nobler sense and mildcr heart
First sacrificed an animal the flesh
Was sweet and man then ceased to feed on man.
This poetical cook proceeds to show how the
first meal was served, and how
To enjoy the meal
Men congregated In the popui0us towns,
And cities nourished,
and nations spraug up, and amicable interna-
tional relations were maintained by the com
bned influences of diplomacy and dining.
Philosophers, historians and cooks will agree
that diplomacy, both ancient and modern, has
80 largely depended upon its dinners that any
history which should omit the latter would be
fatally incomplete. More than one Prime
Minister or Secretary of State might well have
parodied the famous aphorism of Fletcher Of
Saltoun-"Let me make the ballads Of the
nation and care not who makes its laws
and exclaimed, 81 care not what ambassador
is sent, but let me choose his cook" II would
be easy to adduce many striking examples of
the important r5te which the cook has played
in modern diplomacy, from the days of the
dinners of Talleyrand and Metternich to those
of the recent dinners in Great Britain, which
Reverdy Johnson has miraculously survived.
Suffice II to say that John Bull, nowise daunted
by the failure of his experiment with Reverdy
Johnson, according to the traditional European
dining and diplomatic policy, is about to try
IL over again with our government officials OF
high and low degree, including our Senators
and Congressman, at Washington. Great
Britain. recalling its present representative at

The Fashions.

Formerly the fashions in New York were
months behind those in Paris; but now every
steamer that reaches this port, after run of .
few days across the Atlantic, brings the latest
novelties ready for immediate reproduction,
and nothing hinders our enterprising na0distes
from even more speedily importing, by means
of the Atlantic telegraphic cable, such full and
minute descriptions of new style, on the very
day of its first appearance in Paris as shall
enable them to supply their customers with it
on the following day. So marvellous are the
effects wrought by steam and electricity in the
realm Of fashion as well as in every other
sphere of modern life.
1t is, therefore, not surprising that dresses
patterned upon some of those worn at the
recent Chantlly races we're yesterday admired
at the races in Jerome Park. On both occa-
sions there was a similar display Of silver gray
poplins. bee brown velvets, foulards, crepes do
chine and wavy muslins Of great variety Of
colors-white, rose leaf, soft green, blushing
violet, iris blue, ctron and shell rose black
velvets, with turquoise horseshoes in front;
very narrow skirts and petticoats, edged cam
brio drawers, atrociously high heeled kid
boots, gilt buttons and other gilt ornaments,
paners cut like bees wings and wide sleeves
of the favorite Chinese style, Louis XVI hats
and hats Of brown straw long gauze wells,
clusters of roses and dropping feathers aud
innumerable other caprices of Dame Fashion.
The vivid description by our Paris fashions
correspondent Of the toilets of Madame de
Metternich, Of the lady 'who climbed up
behind her and almost tipped the ambassadress
over" Of Madame de Pourtales, Of Madame de
Gallifet and of Comtesse Fernandina, at the
Chautilly races, might in part answer for the
toilets Of several ladies at yesterdays races in
Jerome Park. That in personal beauty, IL not
otherwise, many Of the latter excel their

TIE FRENCH CABLE.-They have had an
English banquet on board the Great Eastern,
on the successful coiling in that ship OF tho
French Atlantic cable. The ship goes to Port
land for her supply Of coal, and thence to
Brest, from which point she will begin to lay
the cable. How little dreamed the builder Of
the big ship Of the great part she was destined

the New. But so IL was with Columbus. lie

TIE New DOMINION IN TROUBLE AND ON
THE BLUFF. The Dominion Of Canada is in
trouble but evidently inclined to put the best
face possible on the actual state Of affairs. In
the Parliament at Ottawa an official report
enumerates the militia force by hundreds Of
thousands, coming nearly by millions. We
know, however, how quickly the living units
disappear in the face Of danger, since the time
OF the foolish Fenian raid. It is easy to
figure out soldier on paper, but the grand
part Is 70 have him fight when required.

CUBA arose in revolt against the Spanish
rulers. Our government, being neutral, stood
still, not favoring the new movement, as not

the government had party. But now the
very government party has seconded the revo-
luton by another revolt against the Spanish
rulers, and has driven them out. Is IL any

Paris for the government the railroads and
telegraph lines have done throughout France
for the people. A revolution in Paris Is now
more difficult Of accomplishment but an up
rising in Paris can be converted in almost q
second OF time, by the instrumentality of the
telegraph, into an uprising in every city and
every town and every considerable village all
over the empire. The improvements which have
been made under Napoleon, not in Paris only
but throughout France, when looked at from
this point Of view are quite as much in the
interest of the people as in the interest of the
government. Itwould not be a miracle if some
Of these fine mornings we should learn that
simultaneous rising had taken place all over
France, and that the empire was no more In
considering the que stion-what is to come OF
it2--these things must be taken into account.
If France is really dissatisfied, as she seems
to be, France is not without the power of ex-
pressing that dissatisfaction. A general and
simultaneous outburst is possible, and gen.
eral and simultaneous outburst would paralyize
the government.
All this Is well known 10 the Emperor him
self. No one is more familiar with this gen
eral truth than himself. He knows that
revolution is now more easy than ever IL was.
In the example Of Spain he has seen how
whole people can rise and accomplish revo-
luton which by its suddenness surprises both
themselves and the world. lie cannot now
deny that France is dissatisfied Reform Is de-
manded, but reform is not enough. What will
