England.

From a private letter to a gentleman re-
siding in Philadelphia we extract the fol-
lowing graphic statement of the political
situation in England:
Improvements march slowly in England.
but not less surely. Public education, JUS
tice to Ireland, the ballot, the game laws.
ETC., etc., are just now absorbing public at.
tention. There is an intense struggle re-
speeding the first, between the advocates
for religious instruction in the schools and
those who properly desire to eliminate it
altogether from the curriculum, and put
1T where it really belongs, under the charge
of the parent and the church of which he
may be a member. The Church of England
is itself divided on the subject; many emil
nent divines being among the advocates of
pure secular instruction. The tenden-
cy of opinion evidently points to
the disestablishment of the Church
OF England: the very fact that the
Church of Ireland being now stronger since
1t has been thrown on ats own resources, is
an argument in favor of placing ali reli.
gions on an equality. 1t is but a question
of time. The abrogation of the game laws
is also loudly called for. The tenure of
land, also, will be subjected to many mod
hcatons, and the bin now before Parlia-
ment, entitled ''The Tenure of Land Bill. {"
has aroused much attention to the state of
the law in England on this question. The
ballot question grows naturally out of the
last. Witness the numerous eruptions in
Wales, because tenants dared to exercise
the franchise contrary to the expressed
wishes (commandsn of their landlords.
have great hopes of the future; the first
step Is the education of the masses, at
present brutally demoralzed by ignorance,
drunkenness, and pauperism. The investi-
CATION into the bribery at elections proves
how subversive it must be to every honest,
independent feeling

Making Love on Tick.

suit was instituted yesterday in JUS
tee hivlin S Court, TO compel an actress to
pay carriage higher to the amount of Sl55.
The young woman is only 10, is very at
tractlve, and has been for the past seven
months the leading danse,tse of the Thea
ire Comique. She boarded In respecta-
bic hotel in Broadway, where the chief
clerk saw her and became desperately en-
amored.
Though holding a position where retir-
ing modesty Is rarity, his love never found
expression N words, but bouquets, for
which he paid. were faithfully left at her
door every morning, and every evening a
hack was waiting to take her to the theatre
and home Month after month this went
on, and still the clerk never presumed
upon his hberality, and was content to
sigh unheard and to languish unseen
whether his repressed passion injured his
intellect 1t viii be difficult to determine,
but his accounts became very much involv-
ed, and finding that he could not straight
en- them, he resolved to take French leave
before his employers should fathom his
deficiency and arrest him.
The Keeper of the livery stable, to whom
S155 was due, didn't trouble himself to
send in the bill to the young woman. be-
cause he knew she had never ordered the
hack at any time; but he had her salary
and her wardrobe attached, and then pro-
ceeded to sue her in Judge Kivlin's Court
for the $155.
The racy part of the story is that Butler,
the manager of the Theatre Comique, owns
the stables, and Carroll, the complainant,
is only his agent. This was perfectly well
known to the pretty dancer, whose indig-
nation at the treatment bubbled over. She
refused to dance another night in his thea
ire. Butler is pretty keen Spectator.
He has an interest in the bar room of the
theatre, and an interest in the bouquets
which flats purchase to throw at actresses

off the stage. He has an interest in GER

three or four days it worked into the left
side and came nearly through the neck,
causing a painful abscess. A little above
the abscess the needle was SO near the sur
face that it caused the flesh to protrude like
pimple, but the physicians declined to cut
to find it, especially as they had some doubt
as to the cause. The abscess was subse-
quently lanced The needle in the mean
time worked back into the side of the
throat and then up under the tongue,
causing great swelling and pain. This
morning it was discovered protruding under
the tongue, and was extracted by Doctor
