Tux ATLANTIC AND GREAT WESTERN
TRoUBbEs. The Office Of this company, at No.
10 Broadway, presented no unusual aspect
yesterday, beyond the presence Of two or
three rough looking individuals, who claimed
TO be deputy sheriGfs Of the Supreme Court-a
mythical designation. IL seems the original
trouble grew ont Of a difference between
McHenry, the President, and Mr.. ODoherty,
the Vice President aud Receiver Of the
road. The owners Of Erie, Of course, could
not keep out OF railroad trouble,
If there was any going on, and Judge Barnard,
Of course, could not stay ont If Erie went In.
That was probably the sole reason why Erie
was implicated, although there has lately been
good deal Of litigation going on between the
two roads. It was stated yesterday that
McHenry, having seized what documents he
/ needed from The Office nj No. 40 Broadway.
had disappeared.

1t is q very blear-eyed sort Of taste that
sees much hulnor in the parade made .
few days since at the Jefferson Market
Police Court Of the domestic difficulties Of
the Lngard-Needham family, with all thu
maudlin sentiment Of the husband and the
or less attractive should give occasion for
jealousy, and that husband should thereby DO
driven to the oblivion Of quart Of sherry, and
still be sober enough to have more thought for
his children than his spouse, is a sufficiently
commonplace story, and one that may, from its
triteness, have little interest for the public
Neither would it be Of much public account
that such events occurred among public per-
formers that have come to us from the London
slums, If 1t were not from the fact that Just
such performers seem at present to be the
especially favored ones Of this metropolis, and
their art that which the people accept with the
loudest admiration. But ii is point Of interest
to get at the origin Of what amuses the people,
and to view the atmosphere In which their
favorites are at home, since this helps In the
estimate ofthe moral scope and refining influence
Of the amusement and the favorite. Out Of this
reeking vulgarity, then, arise the syren songs
that have taken captive all ears, and from this
disgustingly low life comes the Captain links
which invades half our parlors. These coarse.
quarrelsome and degraded persons are the dis
tingnlshed ones in an art that has we'll nigh
driven all other art from our stage-that has
thrust the grand old drama Of our language
into the shade and put to silence the voice Of
true music. As water does not rise higher
than the level of its source, and as art is very
like 1t in this respect, we may, iu the nature Of
its chosen opponents, view the promise Of the
theatrical art that now hourishes most among
us. Perhaps when we have accepted alto
gether the British burlesque and the comic
song as the types Of all our mirth and merri-
ment, we may rise to general emulation Of
the manners and the morals just shown UP al
Jefferson Market.

TIE CASE OF JOHN REAL in tho General
Term Of the Supreme Court no longer hinges
on the probabilities Of hieroglyphic. The
stenographer who took notes at his first trial
testified yesterday that an exception was taken
TO the question in reference to Real having
been in the penitentiary, by his counsel ut
that hearing, and the question Of granting n
new trial on account of that exception IL now
the important point to be argued,

THE NEUTRALITY LAWS ENFORCED. The
thirteen Spanish gunboats are still detained at
Quarantine, not by stress Of weather, but by
Mr.. Dclamater, the builder, who holds them until
his little bill is settled. Thus he is enforcing,
for his individual benefit the neutrality laws
which Secretary Fish would not enforce for the
honor Of the country. 1t is stated that the
crews are barbarousiy treated, and many Of
them are deserving

OuR OCEAN MAILS are at present on q very
uncertain footing. Postmaster Gen eral Cres-
well is still trying to make some permanent
arrangement, but has not yet succeeded The
mails will go on Saturday as usual, but the
arrangement is only temporary, and at any
unlucky moment we may find ourselves cut of
entirely from communication with the Old
World, except by the expensive medium Of the
ocean cables, which, luckily, are not yet on a
strike.

TIE BROOKLYN MURDER.-There has just
been killed in Brooklyn man resolute in the
honest discharge Of trust, and the appear
ances are that he was killed because Of his
determined honesty. He knew and declared
before his death the name of the man who shot
him. II now appears that this man had pre-
viously tried to tempt the victim, and that he
had offered him five hundred dollars to be con-
venicntly blind to his operations, and had
threatened otherwise to take his life. The
operations In question were stealing junk from
the premises the watchman was employed to
guard. This makes the story pretty plain. The
Waterman knew the rogue as well as one man
knows another, and IL is not possible that he
could have mistaken him. Over where this
happened the District Attorney has recently
given good evidence Of honest purpose, and
this rogue viii hardly escape the halter. In
the examination before Judge Troy, yesterday,
tho testimony was very damaging to the
prisoner.

THE LATEST BOURBON MANIFESTO. Henri
Bourbon, Count do Chambord, represents
the legitimate line Of the Bourbons. He is
one Of the two pretenders to the French
throne. The other pretender Is the Duke dc
Chartres, grandson Of Louis Philippe. Count
dc Chambord sees the changes which are
taking place in France. He could tolerate the
empire and Cesarism but he cannot tolerate
the empire and liberty. Napoleon's reforms
have frightened him. Hence the Counts loud
talk about hereditary rights. For seventeen
years the Count has been watching the empire.
Now that the empire enters upon new phase
the Count feels called upon to reiterate heredi-
tary claims. If France prefers to remain
monarchy, why should not France be as
happy with Bourbon as with a Bona
partef This manisfesto of the Count re-
veals one of the difficulties of the hour.
Napoleon cannot live always. So soon as be
is dead the Bourbons, younger and older, will
have as good a chance as the son of the Third
Napoleon. But France must be allowed to
judge for herself

DoN'T LIKE AMERICAN CRUISERS. A London
newspaper is troubled on the subject of the
present organization and force of the American
navy. The writer planes Secretary Robson
for combining his attention to cruisers" and
advises him to build line-of-battle ships after
the fashion Of England, the British Admiralty
being satisfied that the latter class Of vessels
afford the greatest offensive and defensive
qualities. Secretary Robson may not see 1t,
perhaps, in this light. The Alabama WAS
exceedingly effective as q cruiser, as were the
American cruisers of the war of 1912, even
against British lne-of-battle ships.

The Board of Health of this city shows that
it comprehends its duty to the public In
exposing the destructive effects of cosmetics
TO the lives and health of the large class of
people who use these insidious poisons. In
the abstract OF report Of the Sanitary
superintendent, DR.. Harris, to the Board of
Health, which was published In the HERALD
yesterday, attention is called to the unre-
stricted sale Of poisonous solutions and pre-
parations oflead, under the name of cosmetics,
bloom OF youth, hair dyes hair invigorators,
&c. DR.. Harris after referring to two cases
OF death by such lead poisoning, read letter
from DIR. Louis A. Sayre on the subject gene
rally. This distinguished surgeon sent
report Of three cases of poisoning by the use Of
cosmetic known, as he says, by the name of
"Laird's Bloom of Youth, which many of our
fashionable ladies employ to beautify their
compilations. DR.. Sayre adds in his letter =
1T seems to me that the suppression Of this
dangerous cosmetic is duty devolving on
your Board as much as that Of any other
poison Thousands are using 1t daily in
ignorance Of its composition, and think its
sale ought to be prohibited by the strong arm
OF the law" The Sanitary Superintendent
remarks that DR.. Sayrc does not exaggerate
the danger that is experienced by all persons
who apply this class Of cosmetics to their
faces or other portions Of their bodies. DIR.
Sayre has had several cases of fearful paralysis
under his treatment produced by the use of
this and other cosmetics, has paid particular
attention to the subject and has determined to
make relentless war on this great and dan
gerous evil. The Sanitary Superintendent
notices one case Of death from lead poisoning,
which occurred in one Of our city hotels. 1t
was that of merchant of some distinction,
who was killed by the daily use of hair wash
that is believed to have contained large guam
titles Of acetate and carbonate of lead. Some
very excellent remarks are made, too, in the
report upon the importance of using iron or
timed pipes instead Of lead ones in our dwell
ings for conveying the water we drink. We
hope ths Board q Health and the doctors
generally will ventilate this matter thoroughly,
so as to influence the Legislature to pass law
to protect the public health.

ANOTHER KNOCK AT THE DooR.-Mr
Vincent Colyer has returned to Washington
and presented to General Grant memorial
of the citizens Of Victoria and other towns in
Vancouver's Island asking for annexation
The memorial in full is published elsewhere in
our columns. 1t was shown by Mr.. Colyer to
Senator Sumner, who said that it was i'm
portant and could have but one termination
Here is another instance of the fact that the
great Canadian Dominion Is failure. New
foundland and Nova Scotia are stoutly pro-
testing against being confederated with it,
Rupert's Land Is in armed rebellion against it,
and now Vancouver's Island demands immunity
from 1t. All these colonies are tending ire
sistibly towards annexation with the United
States, and there Is a splendid chance for
President Grant to settle the Alabama claims
with justice and satisfaction to all parties by
North American possessions.

Our Esropeun Correspondence.

Our special correspondence from Europe
embraces letters recording the progress Of
the Ecumenical Council In Rome and of the
radical agitation for land tenure reform In
Ireland; the one of interest to the world al
large and, as alleged by the Catholic bishops,
Of the highest Importance to mankind, both in
the present and hereafter; and the other Of
the really vital consequence, to the temperate
ties at least, Of some millions of people who,
remaining faithful to Rome, have at length
adopted the motto recommended by Sydney
Smith to their forefathers, Of ''Erin 50 bread
and cheese, Erin 20 pantaloons without holes
in Them" His Holiness the Pope was person
ally ''merry" and joyous, the attendance
at the Council being numerous aud
brilliant, the letters OF credit from abroad
duly honored, and the American treasure
boxes emptied in safety and call right" The
question of personal infallibility remained as
distracting embarrassment, and with Antonelli,
omnipresent and naughty, as its visible per-
soniication and untiring advocate. Stamina,
force to ireland. The people remained, how
ever, still more persistent and, If possible,
more defiant in their demands for Industrial
redress and the obtainment of legal security
of their right to live on the soil Of their birth
after the payment of fair rent. Both these
matters viii receive the attention Of the
American public, as they are presented ably
and in very agreeable form by our writer's.

WOMEN IN THE CASE. According to an old

assertion From inquiries instituted on tho
spot during his late visit to Cairo he dis
covered the real cause Of the difference
between the Sultan Of Turkey and the viceroy
of Egypt to originate In the harem. II
appears that on the occasion Of the last visi6
Of the Viceroy to Constantinople he was
accompanied by the ladies of his harem, all
dressed In the latest Partisan style. The
Sutan's ladies were in raptures and begged.
to be allowed the same privilege. The Com,
mander Of the Faithful knew no peace from
that day. Perplexsd at the expense that such
proceedings would incur, he vented HIS rage
