AN AMERICAN IDEA ABRoAD.-A recent
number of the Manchester Guardian alludes
to the fact that the great London Railway
Company on a train which leaves London at
FIVE o'clock in the evening, carries with it "a
handsome saloon car, in which dinner can be
served en- route" This shows that an Ameri-
can idea which has been adopted on our West
ern railways for years has finally taken root
in conservative England.

teresting if perhaps technical pleading. But
1t omits one point-namely, the proffer to the
treasury of all the money stolen from the city
during his tenure of power. This would be
brave act It would show that the old man
really wanted TO get out of Jail. 1t would be
an act of justice properly preceding an act
of mercy. What eloquent speeches David
Dudley Field and Judge Comstock could
make on this offer Let us have justice be-
fore mercy. Pay back the money

ADVICE TO STATEsMEN.-T Pacific Mail
investigation suggests few observations to
practical statesmen of an observing turn of
mind. Never draw checks When you have
payments to make let it be in bills. Never go
to banks, because some banks chase their Gus
toners around town by detectives. Never
send telegraphic dispatches, because they will
come up in evidence Never keep bank
books, check books or telegraph books This
will save trouble. But still better advice is
to be honest and necessarily happy.

A.SAuoR's MARRIAGE on board the three
turreted monitor, Roanoke, is brilliantly de-
scribed.in our columns to-day. The "event"
took place in presence OF the officers and crew
and the far bride and the gallant groom had
reception more brilliant and more congenial
to them than \if they had been married in
fashionable church and had fashionable re-
ception ON the Avenue. Well might Jack have
said on this occasion, as he<oncs did in
storm at sea, Lord how pitcs them poor
folks ashore"
The New York herald., 1874-12-30

The AWFUL CALAMITY of the burning at
sea OF the emigrant ship Cospatrick is lesson
that should not be disregarded by shipowners.
Although we have received but meagre de-.
tails as yet of the disaster, yet they are suf--
and completeness of the life-saving apparatus
on board the ill-fated vessel. We learn that
only two boats succeeded in getting away,
containing very small proportion of the
crew and passengers. The investigation which
must follow will probably throw some light
on the subject.

WE AS Yer have no answer from Wash
ington as to the connection of the Pres
ident with the stock-jobbing despatch
about Cuba and Cuban affairs which
appeared lin the newspapers snticipatory
of the Message, and which produced SO
profound an impression upon the minds Of
the Spanish people andupos the funds in Lou
dom There was never more shameless stock
jobbing fabrication, and. worse than all, it
has been traced directly to the President, who
gave it to the Washington correspondent of
the Associated Press. Should this not be
made o raatter for inquiry by Congress?
The New York herald., 1874-12-30
Sheridan in New Orleans.

The announcement that General Sheridan
portant event in the history Of reconstruction
As we understa nd the nature of the instruc-
tons given to the General he simply goes
South on an errand of inquiry and observa-
ton. Although not assigned to the actual
command of the unsettled States it is under
stood that in the event of any disturbance he
will by his rank alone, naturally assume COM
mand. Should there be no trouble his trip
will be somewhat like that of General Grant
himself, when, at the end of the war, he
made a tour in the South. The temper of the
people is such that we hardly think there will
be any necessity for the Generals active inter-
ference. There is no disposition, SO far as we
can learn, on the part Of the conservatives to
dispute the federal authority. That being
so it makes little difference whether the
actual military commander is Sheridan or
Emory. General Emory has done his work
well. He is acceptable to the Southern peo-
pie. He is good soldier, conservative, loyal,
and commands the confidence of all classes
Should there be, however, any outbreak, the
presence Of Sheridan means stern and swift
repression.
While we have every confidence in the wis
dom and valor Of Sheridan, and while we feel
that his presence in New Orleans will be an
assurance of peace to all classes, and that
from his fame and his rank alone there will be
the best guarantee Of his impartiaity, recon-
struction in Louisiana is in such a condition
that no military man is needed. Sheridan 8
assignment to an active command would be q
menace and not an inducement to peace and
compromise. We cannot pacify the Southern
States by the sword The general sentiment
of the country will be that the logic of Sheri-
dams appointment means o menace to the
South. To that extent it is mistake. Our
confident hope Is that the Lieutenant General
will disappoint the hopes OF those who regard
his errand as support Of the carpetbaggers
as well as those who regard him as messen-
ger of fury and despotism. BY his tact he
will do away with the unpleasant fears now
excited by his appointment and at the same
time secure that even-handed justice which is
only needed to perfect reconstruction.

KING KALAKAUA respectfully declines q

THE ELECTION of Charles O'Conor to the
Senate would be like return to the time of
the Revolution, when sages and statesmen ruled
the Republic. But, unfortunately, it would not
suit the ring OF gold-spectacled statesmen who
regard the democracy as long postponed in
vestment on which they are about to realize.

BUILDERS should be reminded during this
weather of slush and mud that there are

pedestrianism is extremely perilous in those

the eagles of the Empire are to remain on the
new Opera House in Paris excites some dis
cussion in the French journals. A bronze
eagle, facing the entrance to the Emperor s
box, was taken down after the Fourth of Sep
tember and has not been replaced, but the
others still. remain. The architect advances
the opinion that changes in politics should
not affect art '\and that every monument
should be allowed.to preserve the emblems OF
the time when it was> built. The government
seems to have adoptedthis idea, especially in
regard to the ColumnsV endome. 1t was in
tended that this column, which has borne the
figure of Napoleon in two oAices-as emperor
and general-should be crowned by statue
of French soldier This was the. idea of the
Prince de Joinville, son of Louis Philippe,
whose father, by the way, restored Napoleon
to the top of the column after it had been
pulled down by the Bourbons But the gov
ernment evidently feels that the Column ven-
dome without the Emperor figure on the top
would be more eloquent monument of Bona
partisan than to replace it as it was before the
SomMuuc pouleu tue Columu OOWu.
NEGLECT OF THE Foo HoRNs-It is seldom
we have dense fogs in this city, but whenever
the weather Is very foggy, as it was on Mon
day, an accident on one or other of the ferries
is almost certain to be the consequence. No
precaution that has yet been displayed has
been able to avert disasters like that on the
East River, where the Golden and Alaska COL
hded. 1t must be confessed that the passage
of the boats from New York to the neighbor-
ing cities is public necessity, even in the face
of danger We believe the officers of our
ferry companies are disposed to decrease the
risk as much as possible, but the passengers
on some of the lines notice neglect that is
censurable. The law requires that on such
days as Monday the boats shall continually
sound their fog horns, but this rule is not
always observed. Sometimes minute inter-
venes between the, alarms. Two boats nearly
collided in the East River yesterday morning
from the neglect Of this rule, and it may be
that like neglect was the cause of the COL
lision between the Golden and the Alaska and
the consequent loss of life. In any event the
rule should be faithfully observed, tor by
doing SO many lives may be saved.

Chicago Post and Mail, June Sd.
When Pauline Lucca, the great
prima donna, was in this city last
wear. u~uconsciously she captured the
heart of a wealthy, bald-headed old
nork merchant who lives on Calu-
met avenue, not far from Twenty
second street The dealer in swine
is a Benedict, and the father of a
large family, among whom are sew
eral daughters blooming into wom-
anhood. He was, therefore, discreet
and smothered the illicit flame
which was reducing his internal
economy to cracklings, so to speak.
He vainly supposed he had won a
victory, and that the unhOly pas
SIGN for the sweet vocalist had de-
parted from his bosom forever. De-
luded man! The announcement
of the appearance of the renowned
singer at HOoley's, recently caused
the smoldering embers of his Plu-
tonic passion to burst forth anew,
and quite overcome him.
Since her arrival in this city he
has been dancing constant attend
ance upon the divine but impressi-
BILE singer. He neglected his busi-
ness and hung around the hotel
where she lodged. He vainly sought
interviews, and expended considers
able of his patrimOny for flowers,
which he lavished upon his still I'M
suspecting inamorata. Huge bou-
Duets were constructed by his order,
resembling i'm size and shape a sugar
cured ham, which were lugged for
ward during performances and put
upon the stage.
Still he sighed in vain. Yester-
day he became desperate and re-
solved to obtain some souvenir of
his adored but unapprOachable beau
ty.
In the second act of Mignon, Luc-
ca appears as a page, wearing the
most brigandish little boots in the
world, the tops of the tiny mud
singers just reaching the knee. Last
night old ChawbacOn suddenly de-
termined to get possession of one of
these charming little boots. He OBJ
tanned a stealthy interview with one
of the scene-shifters, and deposited
one hundred dollars in his honest
palm. The coveted piece of wardrobe
was spirited from the Diva's DRESSING
room, and delivered to the sausage
dealer, who now wears it next his
heart. The scene-shifter got drunk
last night after the performance.
Men in their cups are given to bah
bling. That's the way the story got
out.
Probably this brief and veracious
narrative Will convey to the beauti-
full singer the first intelligence of
her bereavement. Tonight the
ravishing little boots will certainly
be dispensed with.
