AMUSING STORY OF A CouNTEss.-The

dote respecting . noble lady: During the
Army Bill debate her noble husband, who
is aa proud and fond Of her as he should
be, was Just about to arise and deliver o
violent attack upon something or some
body, when telegram was put into his
hands. He read it, turned pale aad quilted
the house; called q cab, drove to the
Charing Cross Station, and went to Dover,
and was no more heard of until the next
day, when he returned to his own house (;
and to his first inquiry was told the count

her and O terrible row ensued, the exact
words of which no one knows but them
selves. AT last, however, he burst out,
"Then, what did you mean by your tele-

THE LANDING Al k1NGSTOWN.
As the hour drew near for the arrival of
the mail steamer the scene Of excitement
and enthusiasm presented in kingstown
beggars all description. The pier, the
Quays, the streets in the neighborhood
were densely thronged with a vast mass of
human beings, eagerly awaiting the arrival
OF the distinguished guests. On the pier
itself order was preserved by force of q
hundred men, with white wands, organised
on the plan of the celebrated O'CoDnell
police. AS the steamer drew near the
French visitors were recognized standing
on tho paddle-boX, and we're greeted with
| the heartiest and most enthusiastic cheer
ing, which was again and again repeated.
A deputation of the Kingstown Commits
sioners, accompanied by several gentlemen
belonging to the Ambulance Committee,
then went on board the boat. After an
exchange of courtesies, Mr.. J. O'Reilly
read most beautiful and touching address
of welcome, which was responded to in fit
ting words by the Count de Flavigny. The
Count and party were then conducted to
carriages which we're in waiting for them q,
and after the most enthusiastic cheering,
which was most graciously acknowledged
by the Count de Flavigny, NJ. de Lesseps
and the other members of the delegation
procession was formed, preceded by the
, Bray, Kingstown and Dunleary bands. The
scene of enthusiastic welcome which Wa
enacted between KiDgstown and Dublin
, was of an unsurpassed character. From
the moment the party took their seats II

people was with the promoters OF the tri
butte of respect and welcome which vas to
be paid to the Industrious strangers. AS the
evening wore on the.crowds increased, and
for miles nothing was to be seen but one
solid mass of human heads, above which
rose the trade banners and hundreds of
tricoior flags carried 10y the processionists
or waving from the fronts of the houses on
the intended route. Eight o'clock had
come and the strangers had not arrived.
and the thousands upon thousands in the
streets and those who crowded tile win
dows waited most auxiously for their ar
rival. The lamps were lighted, aud night
was settling down on perhaps the greatest
gathering ever seen ia the city, when the
cheering in the distance brought the intel
figence that those SO long expected were
coming. The cheering grew louder and
louder, and at half past eight o'clock the
carriages occupied by the French visitors,
and the gentlemen by whom they were &C
companied, were to be seen moving slowly
along amidst an enthusiastic multitude,
who accompanied them from Kingstown.
As the crowds who were waiting Joined
those who came the enthusiasm became
Immense, and the loud ringing Irish cheer
must have fallen on the visitors ears with
startling novelty. In thetwilight, or rather
nightfall, the carriages occupied by the
French gentlemen fell into line behind the
trades bodies and in front of the Foresters,
who brought up the rear of the procession.
The immense procession then took up
its line of march, arriving at the Shell
bourne Hotel at a quarter past 0 o'clock.
The streets through which it passed were
thronged with the eager multitudes assem-
bled to do honor to the visitors, and the
continuous cheers arising from the dense
masses were deafening. The buildings
were all gaiiy decorated, and every window
presented to view q perfect bouquet of beau
tifut ladies and children, who, with the

the people on these streets for passenger
railroad facilities are concerned, they are fully
met by the Seventeenth and Nineteenth
Streets line, which runs cars every three or
four minutes In a great city like Philadel-
phia there should be few streets running
east and west, north and south, upon
which carriages and wagons may pass
without the inconvenience, interruption,
and danger attendant upon street where
passenger cars are laundering along as if
every right and privilege of the community,
so far as travel is concerned, was vested in
them. Eighteenth street is the favorite drive
north to the Park. Hundreds of carriages
pass over it every afternoon and evening.
The wretched condition of the streets oc-
cupied by passenger railroads makes it unsafe
for those who drive light carriages. Such
street as Eighteenth is not only convent
ence and comfort, but almost necessity to
our city.
But two or three streets running north are
unoccupied by railroad tracks, and yet it is
proposed to destroy the best and most beau
tiful of those remaining. The members of
the Legislature from this city and the would
be corporators of this iniquity are perfectly
aware of these facs, and are further aware
that ninety-nine out of every hundred per-
sons living on or near these streets are opposed
to the proposed road. With them it is not
the will of the people or the welfare of the
city that is consulted. The only question is,
How much plunder is there in the scheme?
The question that presents itself to their
vision is not how much inconvenience to the
people and how much injury to the city will
result from this proposed legislation, but each
one calculates closely how much will be his
individual share of the ill-gotten proceeds.
There is no interest of the citizen or city so
sacred that they would not trample under
| foot.
How long, oh patient citizens, will you
endure this burden of shame and injustice
that annually robs you of your most cherished
rights and privileges under the name of law
Will you arise in your just indignation and
strike down these unworthy representatives,
and hold up to public contempt the would be
corporators in this scheme, who would sell the
dearest rights of the people and sacrifice the
highest interests of the city for personal
greed?

NE " RAIL WA Y C0MBINA TIONS.
prices of the shares of the Camden aud Amboy
Railroad is supposed to be indicative of the
speedy ratification of the long-talked-of lease
of the New Jersey Railroads by the Pennsrl-
vania Railroad Company. There is apparently
little doubt that this consolidation will soon
be made. A series of railway connections of
almost inconceivable magnitude will then be
placed under one management. The combi-
nations of the New York railway
rings, gigantic as they are, will
be completely overshadoved by
those perfected and projected here; and in
one important sense Philadelphia will, to
much greater extent than any other point in
this country, be the centre of its railway sys-
tenn This city should manifestly derive great
advantages from such condition of affairs,
but the question whether she will reap them
depends largely upon the degree of activity
and enterprise manifested by her merchants
and manufacturers. If they properly i'm
prove the facilities for cheap and speedy in
accommodation with all points in the West,
South, Southwest, Northwest, East, and
Northeast which are daily increasing, they
can undoubtedly render Philadelphia the
leading mart of internal commerce;
and this is, after all, the great point to be
aimed at by the cities which are striving for
commercial supremacy. The foreign trade
of the United States is of small importance
when compared with its varied and wonder
fully extensive domestic interchangss; and the
American railway system opens up fields for
traffic which far exceed in extent aud produc-
tiveness those opened by water transporta-
ton. In this field Philadelphia should and
can, by proper efforts, become supreme and
every step towards the perfection of her rail
way system should incite her business men to
| renewed exertiops.

QUITE number of the collieries in various
coal districts are about resuming operations.
Industrious miners and coal operators are
equally weary of protracted inactivity, and
while complete harmony is restored at some
points, at others the only obstacle to resump-
ton is the fear of violence. If the laws of
the Commonwealth are not worthless paper,
and if the Executive and Judicial authorities
are not wofully incompetent to discharge
their duties, that fear should speedily be dis
PEELED. If there is any one offense for which
men deserve to be severely punished, it is the
crime of arresting the natural of course indus
try, and preventing laborers who wish to
work from peacefully pursuing their chosen
avocations; and by the stringent enforcement
of the correct doctrine on this one vital point,
nine-tenths of the troubles of the coal strikes
will be avoided henceforth and forever.

THE EIGHTEENTR STREET
SWTNUJH g

FROM all accounts the present session of the
Legislature has been "dull and improbable"
to those incorruptible patriots who misrepre-
sent the people at Harrisburg, and whose
votes are as purchasable commodity as ham
or hominy in our markets. The large corpo-
rations, fortunately for their finances, have
needed but little legislation the past winter,
and all attempts to ''set up big job" have
thus far failed, although the Boosters" in
the House and lobby have labored earnestly
and with determined energy to make
''divvy." The commission schemes" pro-
missed for a while a rich return; but the unex-
pected, widespread, and determined indigna-
ton of the people made them unwillingly
relinquish for the present their iniquitous
measures for their enslsvement. Baffied
in this division of spoils (Which pro-
missed to be large), these paid highwaymen
again turn their greedy eyes towards our
city in search of plunder. Although nearly
all our public highways have been sold by
their predecessors to plant corporators,
still two or three remain unpurchased of the
Legislature, and these they propose to cut
up and divide among the Ring" and the
willing tools who loan their names as cor
porators.
The people of Philadelphia had foolishly
but fondly hoped that the Twelfth and Six.
teenth Streets Railroad job would be the last
of the kind imposed upon them for many years
to come, but from all appearances the attempt
will be seriously made to grant railroad pri.
vileges upon Eighteenth and Twentieth
streets. These disintereSted patriots are not
particular about building the road. AS in the
case of the Twelfth and Sixteenth, they may
be able to sell the franchise to some company
which occupies adjacent streets, and which
will purchase the right to save its interests
and wicked swindle. So far as the wants Of

FOOEPATRs IN FAIRMO UNIT PARK.


PARAMOUNT PARK is the glory of Philadelphia.
AT this season of the year, especially, the many
thousands of citizens who throng to it's de-
hghtful avenues bear testimony to the utility
and to the universal appreciation of its many
charms and its health-reviving qualities. The
Park Commissioners deserve credit for their
general good management and for the care
with which they have avoided tawdry orna-
ments and patchwork display. But it is inti-
mated that, in one respect at least, even their
management is not above criticism. 1t is
said that while the work of completing
broad carriage-ways goes bravely on, compa-
ratively little attention is being paid to the
construction of foot-paths for the use of
pedestrians. There should be no room left
for cavil or criticism on point like this.
The Park is intended quite as much-ay,
even far more-for the million than for the
millionaire. 1t should be adapted in every
respect to the use and enjoyment of those
who have not the means to drive through its
spacious grounds in their private coaches or
in hired carriages. In the Central Park equal
care was simultaneously manifested through
out in the opening of foot-paths and carriage
roads, and a similar policy should prevail
here,
