MIR. BigelOw Reiires.
AS was foreseen by those who know anything OF
Ihe interior arrangements at the Times oflce, Mr..
bigelow has finally retired from that journal. His
career came definitely to an end there on Wednes-
uay evening, but he fingered around the loved spot
untll yesterday noon when a solemn conclave of
tne gentlemen at the heads Of the several depart
ments was held. Anybody who knew much about
the personal prOcivities Of Bgeow and the procli-
Vitous personalities of Jones, could have told that
tne shock mast come sooner or later. 1t has come
sooner and all the departments in the oflce OF the
times are in a state Of oscillation, and no one is
found worthy to stand in Mr.. Raymond's shoes.
meanwhile, during the nine days won
der OF Mr. Bigelow's edtorship of the Times
1t was entertaining and instructive for an impartial
observer to read the advice which bevy of commits
erative weeklies bestowed upon him. Wiikes Spirit
Of the Times was particularly fruitful OF warning
and went so far as to prescribe a programme for
him. Now that Mr.. b. has finally gone it seems that
no one is to take his place. A little while ago the
Tribune had its managing editor decapitated now
the Times has submitted to the same beheading
process. 1t has become the fashion to dispense with
managing editors among New York newspapers
During the short time Mr.. Bigelow remained, he
earned his $3.50 per week easily, taking comfortable
little trips to Long Branch, and leaving the we'll
planned machinery he had left behind to work itself
presume the columns Of the Times will now resume
the heavier appearance which they wore previous to
the eX-editors advent.
The Episcopal Convention.
The Diocesan Convention Of the Episcopal Church
has commenced. 1t is being held in St. Johns
Church, Varick street. and among the audience were
large number of the most fashionable deDoteS in
New York. Among the distinguished Of the audi
ence were S. b. Rugges Erastus Brooks, Secretary
Fish, ex-Judge UlshoeHer, Julian c. Yerplanck,
and ex-Judge Vanderpoel AS yet the convention
has not had time to discuss the rituaistic charges
which are to lie brought against Father Morrel and

feminine worshippers of st. Adams interested
in these charges. The investigation will possess all
the interest of criminal trial, with all the spiritu-
ality of pious dilemma When it is over shall
definitely know whether lights flowers, incense, pro-
Cessions, genuheXions, ETC., are The thing or not
What Becomes of all the CrOtOns
We are being visited by the same plague, the want
OF water, that has recently caused cry to go up
from Philadelphia. This morning at seven O'Clock
well-conceived plan for sprnkling the streets goes
into operation. The highways have been exceed
ingy dirty during the past few days. and the waste
of CrotOn over them has been shameful That waste
is to be repaired to-day, October 1. Four steam
gines to be stationed at the foot OF Grand street.
the Battery, Canal street. and Twenty-thrd street,
for the purpose of sprinking the streets. There is
one thing, however, in which we are much more
saving of water than you. Our Biddies don't deuge
the pavements, religious duty, any time between
seven and eight O'Clock on Saturday mornings That
is @ institution peculiar to the City Of Brotherly
Love and the Fairmount Water Works.
Mr.. Fisl's BOdy-Guard.
The Wall street panic has occupied Mr.. Fisk's
time so much that he has not been able to attend
to the interests OF his newspaper. He has however,
succeeded in surrounding himself with a body
guard which the Sheriff granted him upon Mr..
Fisks making special application to him. The sum
paid to this body-guard was $5 apiece, and the sum
offered to the Sheriff $780, Such are the trials of
successful gold gambler. Uneasy lies the head that
wears head of hair like Jim Fisk's. Royalty amid
dancer Admiral
was among the culottes of the Gold Room. One
day this week gentleman made the remark to him
that he ought to be happy man. Happy" he eX-
claimed. "Me happy-me who live day and night
in an atmosphere Of pistols? Not If | know it,
And he forthwith went up to the Opera House to
look over the cast OF the Tempest.
Apropos Of
Amusements,
1 might say that Miss Lisa Weber is to appear as
"Ariel' in the Tempest, to he produced on Monday
evening at the Grand Opera House. AS the last nger
ing exponent of the egbusiness, and as most viva
cous young creature presume she will attract good
many young New Workers. But what do you think
of Miss Western as "Miranda?' That will be very
sweet, will it not?
George Francis Train
has been making speech at the Fifth Avenue Hotel
about gold gambling He thinks the Wall street
panic originated in London, and that Peter B.
Sweeny famed the flame. He says that the Gov
ernment is the greatest gambler out and that the
only cure is for Grant to either demand instant
payment Of the Alabama claims or to declare war.
He declares that che told so" years ago, and that
precisely what has happened in Wall street within
the past week was predicted by him. All through
his speech Mr.. Train abored under great excite
ment and strained off his blue coat several brass
buttons that were grabbed for by the crowd.
The New Pavement
along Fifth avenue is thought to be a fraud which
brought money to the Ring politicians, and probably
the members of the Common Council of Philadel-
NH wh DrOpnOSticateQ
that in six months time it would all have to come
up. The mixture Of hot pitch, WOOD sand, and peb-
bles which was lately put down along the avenue
between Thrty-second and Thrty-dfth streets, had
to be taken up in three weeks time, and in many
other places the pavement is extremely loose.
