The "Times,, ON the Fri. Ra,Iron

The "T1mes' on the Erie RatlrOnd.
LONDON, May 1o.-The Times of this morn
ing has remarkably bitter editorial article on
the alleged mismanagement of the Erie Rail-
road affairs and the course pursued in relation
to its shares in the stock market The article
asserts that the standard of commercial morality
is lower in the city of New York than any where
else in the world. What here in England would
be deemed crimes are there regarded as master
pieces of fnancierng.
1t concerns the American people to purge
themselves of this reproach, though it will be
task equal to the abolition of slavery.
The Late Yacht Race.
The Times also has an article on the yacht
race. 1t says that there is no schooner in
England, probably, that sail with the Ame-
rican yacht Sappho which throughout the
match was handled by her English captain and
the crew under his personal direction.
The Daily Ne,os of this morning explains that
the telegram published on Tuesday by the Cen
trall Press Association announcing the award of
the prize to the Sappho was premature. 1t was
late yesterday afternoon when the Sappho was
finally pronounced the winner. The judges
arrived at this conclusion from the Cambria's
having disregarded the official instructions regu-
lating the race, but which were faithfully obeyed
by the Sappho.
The Fenians.
The Telegraph of this morning has a sensa-
tional paragraph giving the strength and plans
of the Fenian organization in this country.
Important Spanish News-The Struggle for th he
Throne.
LONDON, May 19.-The news from Spain to-
day is important, though conflicting. Dispatches
received from Madrid direct report that the
Council of Ministers have determined to confer
upon Regent Serrano the royal attributes, if no
candidate for the throne is found within rea-
sonably short time.
On the other hand, some of the Continental
news agencies just forwarded kilograms are to
the effect that the Regency will thrust the crown
upon Espartero in default of any other solution
of the situation. 1t is believed in some quarters
that his resolution to decline the crown is not
absolutely final.

DIR. Campboll's Ride-A Remarkable Case
of Absence OF Mind.


DR.. Josiah Campbell, who lived for
many years on the Western Reserve, in
Ohio, was a skiIliul physician, but withal
one of the most eccentric and abseut-
minded persons in the world, except Mar.
garet, his wife, and she vas fully his
equal. One Sunday moruing the doctor
was caught out in a tremendous shower,
which dreuched him to the skin. 1t soon
cleared off, however, and Dr. Josh rode
into his own yard, where he took the dfir-
ping saddle from his horse and let lin go
adrlft into the pasture The saddle he
placed on stout log Of wood which was
elevated some four feet from the ground on
two posts, where the doctor had begun to
build platform to dly his pc ches on.
After having got his saddle fixed so it
would dry, he took the bride, and putting
the bit over the end Of the log, he stretch
ed out the reins. and hitching them to the
horn Of the saddle, went in to change his
wet clothes and get breakfast. Josiah,
Jr., and Margaret, Jr., were away from
home on visit, and so the two seniors
sat down to the morning meal. When
they were about half through, Jim At
wood, a farmer who lived about eight
miles distant, came ln telling The doctor
he wished he would 60 over % his house
as he recko1el he nigh: be wanted over
there, and then went off to the village in
hurry after some necessary 'tixens.
When the djctor finished his meal he
took his saddle bags and out he went in;o
the yard, where he deliberately mounted |
his saddle and set out in lmag glnatiOn for |,
J i'm Atwcod's.
For long time he rode on in silence. |
with his eyes intently fixed on 'Buchan's |
Practice, which lay open before him. At |
length he began to feel the effects oi the !
fierce rays of midday sun, and on looking |
up from his book he discovered a house
close by him, upon which he sang out lusti, |
ly for a drink of water.
Aunt Margaret, who had been for the
last two hours very busy in the garden,
soon made her appearance with a pitcher
OF mix, and after the thirsty stranger had
taken long draught, they entered into an
animated conversation, the doctor launch
ing ont into rapturous praises OF the scenery
about the place, the ueatness Of the build,
ings, the fine orchard Of peach and apple
trees, and the lady. who had caught
glimpse of the saddle bags, made great
many inquiries about the health of the
nei ghbol hood, etc
The doctor finally took his leave of the
lady, assuring her that he would call on
his return and have some further conver.
sation with her, as she reminded him so
much of his wife, who, he was sure, would
be very happy to make her acquaintance
The lady turned to enter the house. aud
the doctor had just gathered up the rcins
when Jim Atwood dashed up to the gate
with his horse all in lather of foam
'What on earth arc you doing, DOCTOR"
Ycic1 Jim; got off that log and come
llong."
The doctor was greatly astonished a,
first but after few minutes it got through
his head that he had been all the morning
riding beech log in his own door yard
