ElannenI Preface.

Freiligrath, the celebrated German
poet, has translated the prose works OF
Bret Harts into his native language. IL
is beautiful and pathetic. In Il he says;
Nevertheless he remains what he is
the Californian and the gold-digger.
But the gold for which he has dug, and
which he found. is not the gold in the
bed of rivers--not the gold in the veins
OF mountains; il is the gold Of love, Of
goodness, Of fidelity, which even in rude
and wild hearts--even under the rubbish
OF vices and sins--remains forever un'
eradicated from the human heart. That
he there searched for this gold--that he
found it there and triumphantly exhib-
tied it TO the world-that is his greatness
and his merit. That it is which drew
hearts to him wherever the language OF
Shakespeare, of Milton, and By ron is
spoken. And that it is which has made
me, the old German poet, the translator
Of the young American colleaguei and
which has led me to day 10 reach to him
warmly and cordially my hand across
the sea. Good luck, Bret Hartel Good
luck, my gold diggerr

NEW YORK.

NEw YoRK, June l2.-The New York
Caledonian Club held their sixteenth
annual picnic yesterday at Dudley
Grove, on the Hudson. Representatives
we're present from the various Caledo-
MAN Clubs Of Brooklyn, Philadelphia.
Jersey City, Paterson, Williamsburg and
other cities.
Last night a quarrel occurred in a
house Of ill-fame, No. 30 East Ninth
street, between Domingo Aldo, Cuban,
and a colored courtesan named Agnes
A. Radley. Aldo attempted to throw
her out Of window, when she seized
water pitcher, and being powerful wo-
man, dealt blow after blow on Aldo's
head until the pitcher broke in pieces,
when he fell senseless. The police broke
into the room and found Aldo lying on
the floor apparently dying. He had FIVE
very serious wounds on his head and
neck. Physicians believe that if infam-
nation sets in he will die. He was sent
to the hospital and locked up.
Two cases of sunstroke occurred yes
terday; neither fatal.
The United States steamer Talla-
hoosa has lived at the navy yard from
Washington, having on board Captain
Tyson, Meyers, Esquinlaux Joe and
Hannah and the other survivors Of the
Polaris. Yesterday an investigation
was held by Admirals Rowan and Por-
ter concerning Captain Halls death.
The result has not yet been disclosed.
A reception and dinner was given yes
terday by Vice Admiral Rowan to the
commanding officer and staff of the
Spanish iron-clad lying off the battery.
Admirals Smith and Porter were present.

FUNDING AND ASSESSMENT.

And now comes the Union and Amer
can, the official funding organ Of the
State, without any known provocation
of late, and afilicts its readers with
nearly column Of rehashed arguments
in favor of the funding scheme. We
have not alluded to this subject OF late
simply because further discussion is ut
present fruitless. The new bonds will
soon be printed and expeditiously signed,
registered and sent forth. Then the work
is accomplished, and the grave RESPONSE
bility will rest upon the authors and abet-
tors of the outrage. Nothing short of re-
pudiation can then annul the effect OF
this law. With all our boasted resources
and ability TO pay, the people will not
be allowed to retire any Of the principal
OF this heavy debt until the expiration
of ten years, in which time they will
have to pay about Sl7OOO,OOO of int
rest, and will certainly not be able in
addition to accumulate much Of n sink
ing fund. The sacred honor Of the State
is beautiful theme, but none OF the
present funders had much to say about
it two years ago. They happened
to sympathize with railroads who
were then but not now to be ben
Gifted, but our contemporary discov-
ers that the "bloated bond-holders
are mostly widows and orphans. Some
Of them may be orphans, and are very
thrifty ones at that, but precious few are
widows. That, however, is matter OF
no consequence. The question is,
whether we should be bound at time
of extreme financial embarrassment to
fund FIVE millions of past-due coupons,
and promise to commence and continue
paving interest thereon from the lst Of
July, 1874. The assessment law, with
all its searching, inquisitorial and OBJ
noxious features, was passed that the
fundisg bill might be a practical
success. The revenue bill, which
passed FIVE readings and would have be-
come law but for want of quorum,
was also framed to grind more money
out Of the laboring classes in the shape
Of privilege taxes that this enormous
sum called a preferred claim might
be forthcoming semi-annually for the
benefit Of the bonsbolders. The bin IS
Z law and there is no help for il, but
day Of reckoning viii come for those
who rushed It through under the previous
question gug.

A comic heroic scene took place lately
in one Of the foreign restaurants in Lon
don, which caused a sensation among
the diners there. A young swell had
ordered what should have been an A
dinner, but which turned out an utter
failure. He complained vainly; the bill
(the only thing wnich had been cooked)
was at length brought in, and at once
paid without remonstrance, an extra
gratuity being given the waiter to induce
him to call his master, who at once came
up smiling, when, to his CONSERVATION,
his customer threw himself into his
arms. Farewell, my host" he pathet-
ically exclaimed; II have dinsd here
once; we part, never to meet again.
and precipitately left, amidst shouts Of
laughter, leaving the host perfectly fab
bergasted. tt

The St Louis Republican calls for an
eternal veto upon Arctic voyages after
the return Of the Polsris. upon the
ground that they are perilOus and profit
less, not worth the money expended and
the lives risked. We would like to
know who IS TO pass such veto. Men
take unnecessary risks every day, bat do
it voluntarily. They 60 up in balloons,
ride forty miles an hour in the cars and
grumble when the train stops to wood
and water; they risk their liyesion the
trapeze to crafty crowd with morbid
instincts Of curiosity; they drive fast
horses, 90 into the cages Of lions, drink
too much ice water and mean whisky,
take OF their flannel too early in the
spring and sleep five stories high with
out any FIRE escapes. Such things &C.
cur daily, and excite no special remark
or protest from the guardians Of society,
because it is done voluntarily and be-
cause we become accustomed 10 them.
If any man or set Of men conclude to
take a perilous voyage toward the North
pole in the interests Of science or from
mere curiosity, they have a moral and
legal right to do so, and no newspaper
veto or the objections Of any other out
slider will prevent future Artic expedi-
tons and the FINAL discovery Of the.
North pole. Two or three expeditions
are already on the way to the remote re-
gions Of the north, aud unless nature
inierposes some insuperable obstacle
greater than yet discovered, some bold
voyager will, at no remote period, take
his reckoning directly over the North
pole, where man never before probed
the profound mysteries Of that dark and
silent region.

Collision.

NEWARK, N. j., June l2.-Yesterday
afternoon q collision occurred on the
New Jersey railroad at East Newark
Junction between a freight train and the
two o'clock passenger train from New
York, the cause OF which nobody in the
employ of the company seems able to
disclose. The locomotives Of both trains
were badly shattered, also several freight
cars and the baggage and smoking car
of the passenger train. Samuel Stew
art, the engineer of the passenger train,
received injuries which are likely to
prove fatal. The fireman leaped from
the engine as the trains met and was
badly injured, but may recover. The
smoking car, filled with passengers, was
completely wrecked. Several persons
were serious injured. James Mccoy,
of Jersey City, was crushed between two
seats; Mr.. McTige, a travelling agent,
also OF Jersey City, had leg broken and
was otherwise injured; one young man
had the entire side of his face cut away.
The engineer and fireman of the freight
train both escaped by leaping to the
ground before the trains met. A number
Of people in the smoking car Of the pas
senger train sprsng out Of the windows
when they saw the danger was inevita-
Bile. About one hundred sheep on board
the freight train were instantly killed,
and lay all over the track. Trains we're
delayed two and half hours.
