The two most notable of the minor
incidents attending the Cars visit were
his interview with the Archblshops Of
Canterbury and York and his visit to
the Empress Eugene at Chiselhurst-a
visit the significance Of which he took
care to emphasize by afterwards send
ing for the Prince Imperial TO visit him
at Buckingham Palace, and by paying
especial attention to him when he met
him at Woolwich yesterday. The Impe.
riaIists are in high glee over all this,
They declare that the Gar spoke,opeDly
10 the Empress and to the Prince of his
desire to see the empire restored in
France, and they assert that when this
Is done France will find in Russia that
ally for which she is now seeking In
order To get her revenge" As for the
visit of the two archbishops, 1t had a
significance Of its own. The Anglican
Church is very anxious for an alliance
with the Greek Church Dectrinally the
two churches are as wide apart as the
poles-that is, the Greek Church holds
and teaches all the doctrines taught by
Rome with the single exception OF the
supremacy OF the Pope But the Angh-
can Church and the Greek Church are
both creatures of the State, and 10 this
and in their hatred Of Rome they have
a bond of sympathy. Besides the
"ordeSs" of the Greek Church are iudis-
putable, even by Rome. while many of
the Anglican clergymen have doubts as
10 whether the- own orders are valid, in
asmuch as so much doubt hangs over
the matter Of the preservation OF
/ the apostolic succession at the
time Of the Reformation. An alli-
anee between the two churches might
enable Anglican clergymen to receive
Greek ordination. and thus become
priests indeed. Bat the Greek prelates
have shown no reciprocal desire for this
alliance; they look upon the Anglicans
as heretics. Now the Gar is the head
| of the Greek church in more than name;
he is its real head, and it must do Wha,
he commands. When he sent for the
two Anglican aEchbishops to come to
him be received them as the heads OF
their church, and they took the opportu-
nifty Of saving something to him about
the desirability OF q closer commun.

On the top of q ridge of mountains
in Portugal, called Estrally, are two
lakes of great extent and depth, espe-
ciaIly one of them, which is said TO be
nnfsthomabie. What is chiefly remark
able in them is, they are calm when the
sea Il so. and rough when that is stormy.
r. is therefore probable that they have q
subterranean communication with the
ocean; and this seems to be confirmed
bv the pieces of ships they throw up,
though almost forty miles from the sea.
There is another extraordinary lake IN
that couptry, which, before storm, is
said 10 make frightful rumbling nolsei
tbis NAV be heard at distance Of several
miles Aud we are also told of pool
ar fountain. called Fervencias, about
twentv-four miles from Coimbra, that
absorbs not only wood, but the lighte.st
bodies thrown into it, such as a cork,
straw. feathers, ETC., which sink TO the
bottom and are never seen any more.
TO these we may add a remarkable
spring near Esuemes, which petrihes
wood. or rather encrusts 1t with 9 case
of stone; bat the most remarkable CIR
cumstauce is that in summer It throws
up water enough to turn several mills,
and in winter is perfectly dry.

TO OUR VISITORS.

The members of the Tennessee Press
Association, who arrived this morning
from Brownsville, were met by members
of the Memphis press and escorted to
the Peabody Hotel where they will be
properIy entertained Memphis in a
non-oficial capacity, is happy to accord
these gentlemen a cordial welcome.
They are the moulders of public opinion
and the faithful opponents of the people.
We hope their stay here may be pleasant
on all hands, and that they will carry
back to every part of the State pleasant
memories and favorable report of the
Bluff City. In the name of the Press
we bid our guests hearty welcome, and
extend to them such Inequalities as we
are able to bestow under the circumstan.
ces. The press of Tennessee has much to
do with the destinies of the State, and
this is the first opportunity we have ever
had to receive and entertain its con-
ductors and representatives. The city
government, we observe, proposes to call
and pay its respects, and will doubtless
be received with dignity and courtesy.
The press is liberal and cathohc'in its
tendencies and teachings, and recog-
nizes all citizens, even as the rain fails
on the Just and the unjust. 1t pro-
seribes no man on account of his con-
nections, but diffuses intelligence and
wisdom to all, and inculcates charity,
even where religion leaves off its holy
work. The press yields a greater power
over the political, social and CONNER
eial affairs of the people than its con-
ductors usually care to exercise. This
profession is to them almost passion; it
is certainly matter Of conscience and
high above mere considerations ofgain or
personal ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. Editors take
rank with public educators, and, like
their prototypes, are but poorly paid for
their public services. Their highest
reward lies in the success of right over
wrong, and the supremacy Of principles
rather than mere force. To this noble
brotherhood of the advocates of right
against might it is our privilege to ex-
tend hearty greeting.

STRANGE as it may seem, there is an
impression among many Congressman,
Of whom Maynard is enc. that after all
the President will approve the bill re-
commended by the currency conference
committee. A great many say that the
Jones memorandum can by violent
effort be construed to indicate purpose
to veto any measure short of one cover
ing his particular views; but they do
not understand that it clearly and def
nitely declares any such purposes. A
great many will vote for the adop-
ton Of the committees report who
would not do so if they believed the
President would veto the bill. The
truth is, and the statement rests upon
the highest authority, that no such mea-
sure as that pending in the Senate will
receive Grants approval He is thor
oughly convinced that specie payment
can be resumed during his administra'
tion, and that he can bring about the
resumption. BE therefore considers the
question Of Practieability no longer, but
stesdfastly looking to the possibility,
viii not allow anything to stand in the
way Of its fulhllment. He is fairly in
the Tilderness Of the financial problem.
and is determined to fght it out on this
line Il it takes all summer.

The Cable TO Japan-Pedestrians
| ReceDtfOu 90 Ghe president Of the
National typographical Union.
New YoRK, June l3.-The soundings
with reference to the bed for the cable to
Japan reveal rather different condi-
ton of affairs between Honolulu and
Yokohama from that which has hitherto
been found characteristic of the bottom
Of the Pacific ocean. A letter from the
sounding expedition describes at least
six mountain peaks or ridges that inter
vene between these points, FIVE being
submerged and one reaching the surface.
These mountains are from FIVE to twelve
thousand feet in hight from the rest of
the bed, which is very level plain.
The SUBMITS of these activities are
covered with coral and lava, which are so
hard as to indent the sounding cylinder.

Living In Paris.

From Hearth and Home.l
The great secret Of living cheaply in
Paris is willingness to conform to
French habits. If you bring American
ideas here, aud insist upon putting them
into practice, you may be sure of having
to pay roundly for your whims. To
illustrate this, let us take the case of an
American who insists upon having his
meals at the same hours and in the
same order that he does at home. In
stead of simple cup of coffee in his
room on waking up, our American will
90 to a restaurant and order hearty
breakfast la carte. 1t costs him,
say, three francs and half. Now,
had he followed the French custom,
and taken a regular dejeuner at the
same restaurant somewhere near
noon, he would only be charged per-
haps two francs for much better
meal. Indeed, there are plenty res
taurants where a dejeuner consisting
of bread and butter and radishes, beef
steak or outlet ard fried potatoes, a sep
arate course of vegetables, half bottle
of wine and a dessert, may be had for
one franc, OF one franc and ten cen
times. OF course these are not the fash.
ionable places, but are very orderly, and
the dishes nearly always well cooked.
To illustrate the difference in prices at
different restaurants, was told the other
day, by an American of his experience
in giving two breakfast parties-one
when he first came to Paris eight years
ago, aud the other only last month. The
first was given at a fashionable restau-
rant on the Boulevard des Italiens, and
cost for four persons l08 francs; the
other was given less pretentious but
equally good restaurant near the Palals
Royal; the same dishes we're ordered,
we're equally well cooked, the wines were
as good, and the cost was just one-third.
So much for knowing where to 60.

MEETING OF THE DEMOCRATIC
STATE CENTRAL COMMITTEE.

| 1t will be borne in mind that in accordance
with the call of the President, a meeting OF
the above committee will be held at the St
Charles Hotel, tomorrow, at II o'clock The
action to be taken by this body is of the
greatest importance, and it is to be hoped
that there will be full attendance of the
members. The people are looking forward
with much interest and no little anxiety to the
line Of conduct which they will decide for
them to follow
We are free to say that the fate of the next
campaign, IN measure, is dependent upon
the wisdom and deiberation Of the commit
tee having in charge the direction and policy
Of the Democratic party Of this State With
this fact in view, let the members ponder well,
and act in such way as will secure the ap-
proval and aid of the white people in attaining
the object we all SO anxiously desire. This
perhaps, will be the most important meeting
of the Democratic Central Committee ever
held, and more will be expected of them, in
asmuch as there is a herculean task to be per-
formed, and its successful accomplishment in
a great measure depends upon the plan that
may be recommended for adoption. We
look, therefore, with much interest to this
session Of the committee.
