Mr.. BBEKNAN, In responding to the toast OF st.
Nicholas, made an eloquent address. in which he
euiogized the Dutchman OF New York in the days
WHEN GOTHAM WAS FAIRY DEUTSCHLAND,
and Mr. DRPBw, IN replying the toast OF the
"Union," told OF the manifold virtues OF the Knick
cIpoCkeIS, ana now Oy the lessons OF uDerty ana
tolerance and simplicity OF life they had taught IN
their day had been laid the foundation on which
the Republic OF the present was really builded.
Mr.. BoGERT toasted Holland most eloquently. His
speech was redundant with sparkling wtiicisms
and at times poetcaly brilliant it's delicate and
pathetic illusions to the land where reposed the
ancestors OF the great Dutch families OF the pres
ent day. General MEYER paid an eloquent tribute
to the army and the navy. He said that in times
OF peace
LIFE m THE ARMY WAS NO curLp's PLAY.
ana IN proof OF his assertion he referred to the
building OF forts and breakwaters and the making
Of The ordnance which engaged the attention OF
the oficers, and lastly to the work OF "Old PrOba
biiites' department. On Pixies Peak, two miles
In the air. he said, were six officers, and on the
White Mountains on islands In the Pacific Ocean
and at other points of1cers n0uing the course

attention to the TACT that representative OF the
navy was present and he accounted for TINS by
saying that the gallant men who were etrolling
peacefully on the streets 3 few weeks ago were
now pacing the decks OF men-oEwar, waiting Tor
the word to take active measures in Cuba for the
honor OF the nag.

How They Switch Trains in England

A correspondent Of an Eastern pa

railroad trains are switched or rather
"shunted" In England:
At $50 we steamed away north BY
the colleries. thick IS far rs the eye
could reach. stopped a short time at
| Wigan. the scene OF the fearful rail-
road disaster, saw where the car jump
ed on the furnace, killing those In 1t
aud the workmen below. The Cor
oner's Jury decided the accident to be
:. because the train left tho metals"
as they say for rails. They call switch
ing ..shunting :" the switchman here
sits in a large glass house, built up ten
feet above the track ; rods run to all the
switches within two miles, and arc
worked In this room by levers, which
work like the levers for plsying church
chimes. The switches are always
closed, SO that the straight line Is al
ways right, unless the mans hand Is
on the lever which holds the points
and throws the train On the other
track. These switches answer only
for going In one direction, and 1t Is
impossible for them TO be misplaced
except by design. They are In use all
over Europe. and think for safety are
more reliable than those In America.
A telegraph and signal bell In the
switchman's room tell him the po-
sition Of all trains within his jurisdic-

Der that We gave, some time ago, al
account-of the phenomena called the
stigmata, alleged to have been man
ifestsd In the person Of q Miss Collins,
Of San Francisco. At the time 1t wa:
reported that q careful and thorough
examination had been made, and tina,
no traces Of imposture could be dis.
covered. 1t Is, however, now stated
that the girl Was sent to a religious es'
tabllshment, and there submitted to a
rigid test the result Of which Is n dis.
coyery Of the TACT that the marks on
her hands. ieet and body were pro-
duced by herself, by the simple pro.
tess Of scratching the skin with he'
nails. As this statement docs not come
with authority It may be denied. but
lnasmuch as the stigmata served the
purpose Of = sensation, to be succeed.
ed In due season by fresher sensations,
we presume but little Interest will be
felt In the further investigation Of the
case,-SQcrdmento Record.

large number of its people. The Phil
adelphia Erening Bulletin says: Some
of the citizens of Paterson expressed
surprise last Friday in reading In the
papers that there wa actual stnrva-
ton IN that city. Mass meetings were
held nearly every evening tor two
weeks, and the Paterson newspapers
have published details of the measures
for relief. The city has ordered $780,
900 to be expended for laborers, and
special committees have been APP
pointed to see whether the manufac-
tursrs can be persuaded to resume op.
Grafton. On Monday morning groups
Of men gathered oil the street corners,
and later they marched through the
streets shouting: Bread or blood"
They went to the City Hall and were
addressed by the Mayor. Ono nan
mounted q wagon and made inflain-
matory speeches to his companions
and the multitude shouted /: Work or
bread! y Some proposed to sack the pro-
vision stores, saying that 1t would be
better to be In jail with plenty Of food
and. fuel. After the Mayor assured them
that they should be set to work as soon
rs tools could be provided, they dis
persed. Eighty special policemen
have bee added to the force. The OIL
clals at the City Hall are busy taking
the names Of men to be set at work.
Each man Is required to tell his story
under oath. Squads Of policemen are
necessary to regulate the crowd who
besiege the doors. Two French ladies,
who have been In good circumstances,
ate nothing from Friday night until
Monday morning. Owners OF real es-
tate are exchanging their wardrobes
for food. Others are selling their
watches. Many children, who have
been boarding in fatalities, are begging
to keep these families from starving.
Able bodied merchants are selling their
furniture, and one family burned most
of theirs for firewood. Some families
are renting suits Of rooms and giving
up their houses, unable to pay rent or
buy fuel. A clergyman found a fami-
ly OF three adults and five children
the children sick-living In a small,
unexpected room, and supported en-
tirely BY contributions. Father Me-
Nulty offers to sacrifice all his proper

OUR NEW MINISTER TO SPAIN.

Tho appointment by the President
Of Caleb Gushing as U. S. Minister to
Spain will be generally recognized as
the best selection that could have been
made. There Is little doubt but that
he will be Immediately confirmed by
the Senate on Its reassembling next
Monday. Mr.. Cushing leaves a very
large aud lucrative legal practice, at
an advanced age, to aid our Govern
ment by his vast experience and knowl-
edge, at a tune when We have need Of
wise counsels and moderation. We
venture to say that In this nation to.
day there does not live = a so well
qualified for the responsible duties
with which he has been entrusted and
which he has consented to assume.
Mr.. Cushing Is seventy-threc years
old. and has been prominently before
this nation in many public stations.
For years he has been confidsntially
consulted by Presidents and Cabin
ct officers upon the varied and Of
ten abstruse legal questions which
from time to time have arisen,
and his reputation for knowledge OF
both national and international law Is
second to no public man Of our time.
He 1, also known favorably and widely
among scholars as a writer both logic
al and philosophical, and as Judge OF
the Supreme Court Of Massachusetts,,
afterwards as United States Attorney
General under President Pierce, and
recently as United States Attorney be-
fore the Geneva tribunal Of arbitra-
ton upon the Alabama question, has
earned and added to his reputation as
a jurlst and counsellor. He Is also a
hrst.class lingulst. speaking fluently
nearly all the European languages,
and even mastered the Chinese lam
guase while U. s. Commissioner to
China some years ago. He Is In the
enjoyment of good health and unlm-
paired mentality, and will In our hum
BILE opinion give more dignity and eih-
cheney to our Government in his new
office than any other representative
abroad. We hope to see his nomlna-
ton speedily aud unanimously con,
firmed.
