A Southern paper relates laughable
incident connected with the visit of the
Joint High Commission to Harper's Ferry.
The presence of the distinguished party
attracted a large number of citizens
anxious to obtain peep at the titled
visitors, and among them was pompous
old gentleman somewhat noted for his
venerable appearance, fuency of speech,
and strict conservative principles, who
was conspicuous in his endeavors to make
himself agreeable. Attaching himself
specially to gentleman who was evil
IDENTIFY one of the most prominent of the
party, he took occasion to remark in
oratorical tones: ~ am happy to see you,
gentlemen of England. AS an American
citizen I come to pay my respects to you,
hut I want nothing to do with those
Yankees with whom you are associated. !"
The gentleman addressed, and those of
Che visitors, within hearing, appeared to
enjoy the remark hugely, but the old
gentleman was intensely disguised when
ne was informed that he had been talking
with General Schenck.

THE EVENING TEARTHSTONE.

Gladly now we gather round it,
For the toiling day is done,
And the gray and solemn twilight
Follows down the golden sun.
Shadows lengthen on the pavement,
Stalk like giants through the gloom,
Wander past the dusky easement,
Creep around the fire-lit room.
Draw the curtain, close the shutters,
Place the slippers by the fire;
Though the rude wind loudly mutters
What care we for wind-sprite's ire
What care we for outward seeming?
Tickle Fortunes frown or smile?
Ifaround US love is beaming,
Love can human ills beguile
Meath the cottage roof and palace,
From the peasant to the king,
All are quafing from life's chalice
bubbles that enchantment bring.
Crates are glowing, music flowing
From the lips we love the best
Oh, the joy, the bliss of knowing
There are hearts wherein to rest
Hearts that throb with eager gladness--
Hearts that echo to our own
While grim care and haunting sadness
Mingle meier in look or tone,
Care may tread the halls of daylight,
Sadness haunt the midnight hour,
But the weird and witching twilight
Brings the glowing hearthstOne Is dover.
Altar of our hottest feelings
Childhood's well-remembereds shrine

Wreaths immortal round thee Irvine.

HOw TO REFORM CONDUCTORS

The narratives of robbery, violence, ana IN
suit on street railways which the Putnam case
has brought TO light are curious ill'istfanons
of the readiness of Americans to bear IN silence
outragcs which no other people would tolerate
for a day, rather than lose time or give
themselves trouble by "maSing fuss" We
have been subjected for years to extraordinary
imp0sitions and perils, and only now ana then
a voce has been heard in mild ren0nstrance,
until a great murder startles the whole city'
and then all the victims of time-honored wrong
raise their voices at once. Here IL Il man VINO
has been robbed with the cOnniyance OF car
conductor. Here is another to whom CON
ductor avows that three wcll-known pick
pockets srs allowed TO " work" his car eteTy
nigIh. Here il gentleman who, after being
grossly insultcd, Is thrown violently off car
by a conductor whom the company attcrward
shields. Here is scheme for rObbing all the
Messengers, by having their fares collected frst
by a pretended conductor and afterward by
the real one, the two then going oil together
and dividing the spoil
OF course the companies are much to blame
for employing brutal and dishonest men in
positions where the safety and comfort OF
performance of the conductors duty. But the
public ia also at fault for not complaining
with more energy, and taking time and trouble
whenever punishable Otlenses are committed, 10
bring the culprits to justice. Companies cannot
know the character of every emplOye, and when
we inveigh in general terms against railway
abuses they may reasonably answer. why DO
"you not give us specific complaints and let us
&" discharge the OficndersY' This is what we
ought to do; and just now there seems to DO
a general disposition to do it. If our yr-
tuous enthusiasm last long enough, we may
effect REFORM We do not ADVISE
people to ride several miles in search of the
sIperintendent whenever they have COM

the shortest possible statement OF facts, with
whatever particulars may he necessary Tor the
Identification of the offenders. Then we should
at least know the most dangerous ana diS-
agreeable lines. and avoid them accordingly.
But above ALL, when there is ground for q
prosecution at law, let it be pushed with per-
severance. When pickpookets are observed on
a car, let the conductors number be reported
to the company and also to the Chief of Police; |;
and if conductor knowingly permit thieves
to operate in his conveyance, send his number
to TIE TRIEuNE; h;i1a we promise that he

The Austrian Ministry announces its de-
termination to abolish the COncordat. The
definition of infalibility Is thus producing the
effect which its opponents in the Council fore
told, of alternating all the civil governments
which still held official relations with the
Roman See. and completing the separation
between Church and State toward which the
world has long been tending. Devout believers
in the Roman Catholic Church can view this
prospect without alarm. The less she has to do
with the secular power, the greater is always
her spiritual prosperity. Perhaps there is no
part of the world in which her condition is
more reputable than under our own Govern
ment, which treats all denominations with alb
soute mpartiality. and no danger that threat
ems her in America is more serious than the
danger Of an alliance with the political party
which misrules the State of NewYork.

Mayor Hall has just been admitted as a
member of the Board Of Health by virtue of
the late act of the Legislature, but he is al
ready accepted as its oracle. Most of the
Commissioners met in the expectation of re-
organizing the Board, and some, it is said,
with the design of making Mr. Gross Presi-

moved and seconded to adjourn without elect

under the new law, the old officers were con-

For the information of citizens interested in
the completion of an underground railway
through Manhattan Island, we publish on the
second page an account of the London under
ground railway, more particularly referring to
3ts financial difficulties and results There is
not much in the statement that will be thought
encouraging to those contemplating similar
enterprise here; but it must not be forgotten
that all the preliminary conditions with us are
very different from those presented TO the
London Company. Speculation suggested the
London line; necessity demands one in New
York. The enterprise there was controlled,
and IN some sense obstructed, by Corporation
difficulties which do not exist with us, and
IT is to tho interest of any party
which may be in power here 10 aid
and not hinder such an enterprise. The Lon
don line is circular; the peculiar confOrma-
ton OF the island renders long, straight
line necessity with us. The English line,
IN consequence of its circuitOns route, is
slow; the American line would be built with
no special design of furnishing quick

An official recapitulatiOn by Gen. Howard of
the late Ku-Klux Outrages in Mississippi con-
firms all that has been heretofore published
illustrative of the atrocity of the outlaws, and
the political motives which impel them to muir
der and arson. Republican voters and school
houses are the particular objects of their
wrath. and they are sworn to prevent the
spread alike of Republicanism and general in
telligence. Gen. Howard's painful story is
accompanied by an assurance that the new
law is very speedily to be enforced and this
is some consolation.
