A Mas KISSES THE WRosG GIRL
A young gentleman Of this city, says
the Norfolk Journal. made ridiculous
and -ather embarrassing mistake yester
day evening on the arrival Of the Sea-
board and Roanoke train at Portsmouth.
Expecting the arrival of his grand
mother and young lady cousin on the
train, We went TO Portsmouth 10 meet
them On the arrival Of the train he
FASTENED to the ladies' coach, and seeing
his grandmother and q young lady
whom he supposed TO be his cousin, &c
cupying the same seat, he hurried mp 10
them aud saluted the young lady, with
a hearty kiss fright in the mouth" as
he expressed it. Immediately a gentle
man sitting in the rear of the young
lady, arose and demanded in rate tones
what he meant by this Insult Over
whelmed with confusion the young gen.
tleman who is very bashinl) murInured
out an apology and explanation. The
wrath Of the gentleman was appeased by
the explanation, aud be graciOusly ac-
cepted the apology. The young lady

Tho Bridge mt Macomb's Dam-What Are
We Coming Tot
The Chief Engineer of the Bureau of Civil
and Typographical Engineering in the Depart
ment of Public Parks, has notified Acting Presi-
dent Judge Hilton that the draw at Maco mb's
dam bridge is in so dangerous q condition
that it is unsafe and improper to allow teams
to continue to pass over the bridge, and by
the authority of the department the bridge is
now closed, and no crossing of teams will be
permitted until further orders. The safe
keeping, repair and rebuilding, if necessary,
of these bridges was placed under the control
of the Park Commissioners by the new law,
and, in conformity with ong-continued GUS
tom, they have appropriated moneys in their
hands for the work when an immediate neces-
sty arose, and have thus far rendered some
of the bridges which were formerly almost
impossible safe fol. travel. Since Deputy
Green has been in command of the
Comptroller's Department the supplies to the
Central Park Commissioners have stopped,
and no money can be procured from the
financial officer Of the city government for any
of these purposes, notwithstanding the orders
of the courts. The consequence il the closing
of this important avenue Of traffic. There can
be no actual necessity for this embarrass-
ment of the work Of the Department Of Parks
. trust that has been faithfully discharged
and is in honest and competent hands. L
this policy is to continue our citizens will soor
learn that they have other evils to fear be-
sides that Of dishonest and corrupt govern
ment The Macomb's dam bridge should b,
repaired at once, and no false economy o.
personal pique should be permitted to inter
fere with 30 imp ortant work.

NEW JERSEY JUSTICE Is swift and sure.
Yesterday George Bolts, the murderer of
Oliver s. Halsted, Jr., Of Newark, was SEN
fenced by Judge Depue to be hanged on
December 81. The prisoners counsel had
previously moved for new trial on trivial
grounds, but the Court decided, unanimously,
that no reason could be assigned for setting
aside the verdict. Bolts, who had exhibited
much bravado during the trial, was deeply
affected, and when his sentence was pro-
nounced his courage gave way and be sank
into his seat completely overpowered. II
justice were ss unfinchingly administered In
other States as In New jersey the record Of
crime would be less fearful, and especially
would human life be safer from the pistol and
dagger Of the assassin.

sire of his heart to contribute in any way to
the restoration of the House Of Bonaparte. In
the ordinary course Of nature it will not be
possible for him much longer to preside at the
helm of State. He secs that the republic has
worked well he knows that it would work
better If only the government were reduced to
a more definite shape, and he very properly
comes to the conclusion that all uncertainty as
to the future form of government must be re-
moved and an honest and vigorous attempt
made to establish the republic on a solid, con-
servative basis. 1t is statesmanlke decision,
and If President Theirs can only give effect to
his purpose his fame as historian, great as
it is, will be eclipsed by that greater glory
which will attach to his name as the savior of
his country. There are no insuparable diff
culties in his way. On the contrary,
there Is much to encourage and cheer
him on. It is rot our opinion that
he has much to dread either from Bourbonists
or Bonapartists. Each of these parties, as the
history Of the provisional government abun-
dainty proves, would prefer conservative
republic to the triumph of it's rival. The
republic Is the safe ola media between the
so-called monarchy ON the one hand and the
empire on the other. Nor do we think that
he has any great reason to be afraid of the
Commune. The letters of George Washington
Wilkes which have appeared from time to
time in the HERALD, if they convince us of
anything, convince Of this-that the Com
munists although they will never be satisfied
with any form of monarchy or despotism,
might easily be brought round aud made
sworn friends of solid republic, which
reconciled liberty with order. This, however,
is not oil. Europe is ripe for republican insti-
tutions. The lesson which is being read to the
nations of the Old World by the young but
giant republic of the West is telling with
powerful effect on the masses of the people
The terrific blow with which the people in this
city and State has just crushed corrupt ring
of shameless politicians has resounded through
out the civilized world, and men have been
taught that republcanism in the Western
World is not a mere name. The establish
ment of the republic would make France
once more the pivotal nation on the Cont
nent of Europe. Once more, as in the
early days of the first republic, the oppressed
and the downtrodden of all peoples would
look to her with hope. The republic in France
means salvation; for it would secure internal
peace and prosperity. The republic in France
means revenge; for it will sweep out of exist
ence all thrones and dynasties-her hereditary
enemies.
If M. Theirs is wise in his day and genera
ton he will carry out his avowed purpose. If
the French people are wise they will stand by
M. Theirs and give him honest, earnest help.
Let President and people do their best, and
good men and true all the world over will wish
them God-speed.

THE FIRST STEP in civil service reform has
been taken. Secretary Delano rightly infers
that . man who defrauds his laundress or
boarding house keeper is not to be trusted
with the lingering of government vouchers,
and accordingly orders have been issued that
clerks in the Internal Revenue Bureau must
pay their board and washing on demand or
leave the public service.

TIE WEEK In WALL STREET was unusually
devoid Of interest, and the markets, both In
gold and stocks, were quite languid. The
election was made holiday, and was to be
the turning point in favor Of activity should

Of the reformers did produce more cheerful
feeling, but was not followed BY any decided
revival of business. There seems to be lull
cverywhere-in Berlin, in Frankfort, In Paris,

ton is very much needed, now that Chicago is
vanishing into the dim past.

Pope Plus the Ninth remains persistent in
his endesvor to estrange democratic France
from the royalty Of Italy in Rome. The Papal
Nuncio in Paris has formally warned the
Foreign Minister Of the republic, during q
personal audience, that His Holiness will
declare himself sole King Of Rome at an early
day, and that he will, subsequently, cut OF
from communion with the Court of the Holy
See all the ambassadorial representatives near
the Vatican who are accredited or serve at the
Court Of King Victor Emmanuel. Should the
Pope persevere in this resolution he will afford
an excellent opportunity to the French demo-
cracy for the testing Of the question Of the
divine right Of kings as well a. that Of the
claim Of consecrated dual monarchy under
the tiara--a chief bishop and temporal ruler
in one. The PontifFs of the Roman Catholic
Church-a majority Of them, at least-have
been exceedingly ''wise in their generation"
and 1t may be that Pope Plus the Ninth
observes the early dawn Of the coming day Of
universal democracy in Europe and wishes to
oniciate at the blessing of the new light. The
Church is fever young" and always baptizes
accomplished facts. The history Of the Ponti-
ficate embraces the history Of all the revolu-
tons which the Christian world has Witnessed,
and we are told in the adage that to be
'forewarned" makes sure OF being Store
armed" Hence the Pope complains to the
people in Paris against the King in Rome.

popular allegiance from the tricks Of sensa-
tionalism to true art. In the domain Of music
We would have Nilsson, Kellogg, Capoul and
Wachtel united in one company, so that every
opera conld be given with thorough complete
ness and effect.
Large and generous as has been the support
given to the Nilsson and Pareps- Rosa compa-
MES, 1t can by no means be accepted as
competent measure Of the enthusiastic patron
age that would be accorded TO the combination
Of artists which we indicate. Opera would
become rage, and houses crowded TO over
flowing afford substantial proof Of popular
appreciation. We feel assured that the result
would astonish the most sanguine and inaugu-
rate new and brilliant era In the history Of
opera in this country. But It Is necessary
that the reform should be thorough and
sweeping; 1t cannot stop at the mere assem-
bling Of number Of great artists--they must
be properly supported by well-trained
choruses; for the most brilliant rendering Of
particular roles cannot make mp for the defect
of hating or discordant chorus. This mass

Its novelty would secure Its success; and II
