DR NdRY W4LFrP 1nIJv

DR.. Mary E. Walker returned to the CITY
last night, in the 1l;5O train, from her recent
bootless trip to Philadelphia in connection with
the Ross abduction case. On stepping from
the platform she heard two men who were
standing By make some humorous or insulting
remark about her, and at once proceeded to
rebuke them In the most approved style with
her umbrella. This OF course did not exactly
suit them, but rather than retaliate in kind
.hey retreated. The conductor soon went to
the rescue, and succeeded in convincing the
irate little doctor that she was decidedly
wrong in thus taking the law into her own
hands, and that it might be the means Of get
ting her into trouble.

An old-time scandal is thus retouched BY
the Lexington Gazette: ''Thirty years ago there
lived an old darkey In this town BY the name
Of Ned Grayson. Ned was exceedingly pious,
and as for shouting, there was not a negro IN
Lexington that could hold candle TO him.
Ned's piety passed unquestioned for q long
time. but at last the Jealousy Of woman came
near running his reputation. Scandal became
busy with Ned,s name, and connected him with
one or more Of the sisters. Az Investigation
was resolved upon, and Ned's snest-hidinQ'
with number Of the sisters was clearly
proven, and the action OF the investigators was
anxiously looked for. At last It came out, and
was to the effect that as Brother Ned Grayson
had confined his nest-hlding 10 the sisters OF
his own church, and not to promiscuous seek
ing after strange women, that he be honorably
acquitted We commend che action 10 the
above case 10 tha attention Of Plymouth
church having under investigation the conduct
Of their distinguished pastor"

Tho Cuban War.

The Spanish press is in dreadful fury on
account of the late operations of the insur-
gents in the Cinco Villas. The Voz declares
that the passage Of the troops of Gomez
across the trocha was due to treachery
in the Spanish camp, and that the
intention Of the insurgents was we'll
known in Manzanillo among the dis
affected. If the Captain General had paid
little more attention to the columns of the
HERALD he might have learned all about the.
intended movements Of the Cuban troops
some months ago. We published the
plan Of campaign as explained to
our Cuban correspondents by Generals Calixto
Garcia and Gomez It has been secret for
no one except the Captain General and the
wonderful organs of the Spanish party that
the insurgents intended to carry the war into
the Cinco Villas and the Western Depart
ment on the earliest opportunity. 1t is
also the intention of Gomez and his compan-
ions in arms 70 go much closer to Havana
than will be pleasant for either the Spanish
officials or their organs, and in order that they
may not be too much taken by surprise we
inform them Of the insurgents intentions.

We print in another column an interesting
letter on the relations Of Bismarck and the
French press. For some time the German
Chancellor has been highly incensed against
the ultramontane journals on account Of their
bitter attacks on his government for its perse-
cution of the Catholics. On more than one
occasion he expressed in pretty decided terms
his dissatisfaction to the French government,
but as MacMahon and his Cabinet were un-
willing to allow anything like foreign dicta-
ton to guide their policy no effective
efforts were made to silence the press.
The Uniuers made itself especially obnoxious
by the ability and virulence of its attacks on
the German Chancellor, until at last positive
demand was made by 1.-THE man of blood and
iron" for its suppression. That any foreign
statesman should dare to make such demand
is sad evidence Of the weakness of France
but that a French government should yield
compliance shows that the moral as we'll as
the material force of France has been dimin-
ished by the late disastrous war. Whether
Bismarck is showing the highest wisdom in
Offering insult to proud people may well be
doubted France recuperates quickly, and it
may be that in the not far distant future the
provocations offered by Germany to fallen
foe may receive unlooked-for chastisement

TIE CHURCHES TO THE REsCUE-Charity
is q constant theme in the pulpits of our
churches. Now there is an opportunity
to give practical effect to this Christian doc
trine. The suffering poor this hard winter
cry for help-cry for bread to save them from
starving II the hundreds of churches in
New York city-every one of them-would
take up subscriptions next Sunday at the
time of worship, what q noble fund might be
raised for the poor, and what grand Chris
tan spectacle would be such simultaneous
and concerted movement The tens of
thousands of our rich citizens-ladies and
gentlemen, who live surrounded by luxury
who crowd our places of worship, might
be induced to give literally on such an
occasion and under such an impulse. Let one
Sunday, and that next Sunday, be devoted to
the poor. Nothing would be more acceptable
to God. A hundred thousand dollars at least
ought to be raised. The givers would feel it
in no other way than in the qualification of
doing good And what mass of misery half
q hundred thousand dollars would remove
Let every church take up charity subscrip-
ton next Sunday.

TIE STRIKES IN THE CITY.-It appears
strange that ct period of such widespread
distress and suffering body of men should
voluntarily have abandoned work to strive for
higher remuneration. Thousands wander
about the streets eager to work for bread only,
and it would seem that such moment is O
very unfavorable one for workingmen to go
on strike But the capmakers and cigar-
makers seem obstinate, and refuse to return to
work under the old conditions, hoping, under
pressure of the spring trade, to force the
employers to comply with their demands An
effort is being made to arrange the dispute
through mixed committee, and we hope that
both parties, by their moderation, will put an
end to state Of things injurious to their
common interest.
