toned by Dickens, who, whenever he wished to
procure favor from his better-haf, threatened to
end his earthly career, but those threatenings
ALWAYS resulted in peaceful solution OF all dinlcu-
ties and the granting Of the desired favor. The
present hero Is named Frank McCready, residing IN
Fourteenth street, between Fifth and Sixth avenues.
He does not belong to any business or profession,
but lives on what IS technically termed his wits,

he demanded OF his mother one dollar Which she
refused to give him. as she had already contributed
literally and often TO the young gentlcman's wants.
On tins refusal he seized Two jars or ink and pre-
tended to swallow the contents. He then rushed to
the house OF two mutual friends and demanded q
pistol stating that he was about to commit suicide.

THE EVANGELICAL ALLIANCE CONFERENCE
Reply to Disappointed Stranger.

Reply to a Disappointed Stranger.
To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:
Your correspondent, can Old World.an," says that
ne has been told, on arriving In this country from
Great Britain, that the Evangelical Alliance Confe
renee has been postponed on account Of the war.
He regrets this decision and gives his The
postponement was at the first request from Europe
refused by the United States Alliance, and we tee-
graphed to London, to Paris and to Berlin, that we
could not consent to it. Then came the assu-
RANGES from England, France, Holland, Ger
many and Switzerland, that the delegates
could not come and there was nothing left for us to
do but to walt for peace. To hold an international
congress without the possibility OF other nations
being represented would be a farce.
But write simply to inform your correspondent,
and others who may be in his situation, OF some
facts of which he seems TO be ignorant. He says:-
al venture to think that in no city OF the United
Kingdom would number oI American gentlemen
VINO had come 10 their shores on the invitation OF
British Christians for an important object, be allowed
to and go without recognition or even the Tor
mality OF public meeting for explanation and well
come"
TO this reflection on American manners it is
enough TO say that If your correspondent Will report
himself TO the office Of the Alliance, 81 Bible House,
as other gentlemen did on their arrival he Will learn
that arrar gementS were made two weeks ago fOr u
public reception TO be given to all the gentlemen
who have come from abroad, and for public meet
ing also, to hear statements and addresses nom
them. To insure their attendance, by making II
cOincident with the expected conference, the day
for this reception Is fixed for Friday, September 23
the day on which the conference was to be organ
the Young Mems Christian Association parlor and
hail. We shall be most happy TO see your cor,
respondent at that time and place. and II he VIII
send me his address he Will be specially lnvneu.
The public meeting will be on the Sunday evening
following. in the same place. Respectfully yours,

From these repeated admissions OF yellow fever

She was consigned to E. D. Morgan Co., OF this
city. 1t was discovered when the vessel went to the
wharf that the Consular certificate affixed to the
invoice stated the cargo to be consigned to New
York. The Collector referred the matter to the
proper authorities at washington, and received an
order In reply TO compel the vessel to go to New
York and not TO enter her at Perth AmbOy SO IL
Will be seen the United States government is deter
mined not to cOunenance the subterfuges OF those

the health OF the public Is endangered or not.
