General Grant has found q warm

"Ihe Thunderer'' has fallen into the

It appears that, after all, the neu /
evidence reported in the Tichbornes
trial has amounted to very little.
Nearly all the sensational stories
told in the London papers about new
discoveries in the case ara quite un.
true. Arthur Orton has not been

The recent exposure by the New
York daily press Of the reckless ma1'
agement Of many Of the New York
institutions for savings, beginning
with the Third Avenue Savings Bank
have now caused the suspension Of
two more-the National Bowling
Green and Guardian Savings Bank
which were compelled to close their
doors on Saturday. It is a signif-
cant fact that the president Of these
|banks-"Hank" Smith and aBoss"
Tweed-were the leaders respectively
|of tho Republican and Democratic
sides Of the Ring that lately con
trolled the destines Of New York.
New York is thoroughly highten-
cd. Instead Of one expected wei;
come visitor-the Grand Duke-she
has two unexpected and unwelcome
ones--the cholera and small Pox.s
We have already noticed the arrival
of the German steamship Franklin,
with q cargo of cholera, at quaran'
| tine in tho Rarbor. Now comes the
| no less startling fact that smallpox
| is rapidly extending its ravages in
| tho city, and the World asserts that
there arc two hundred thousand per-
sons in tho community fit subjects for.
tho disease. never having been vacci.'
mated. This seems to be treated as q
more serious matter by tho New
Yorkors than tho advent of cholera,
as they comfort themselves with the
idea that tho cholera is not to be
dreaded in tho winter. The oxpe-
ricnce of Russia in the matter of win
tor ravages of This plague do not,
however, sustain this idea.
