THE NEW wORED.

A Washington Associated Press dispatch of
the goth says the report that the Spanish Gov
ernment had asked Of the United States the
restoration of the Virginius and the payment
of an indemnity was not believed in official
quarters, no authentic information having
been received to that effect, and beside such
requisition would be contrary to the terms of
the protocol between the two nations.
The President has lately pardoned Ring
gold, Young, Neil and Harkins, of Alabama,
who were serving out terms of Imprisonment
for Ku-Klux outrages: During eighteen
months past fifty-nine persons who were con-
victed of such outrages, have been pardoned.
New York dispatch Of the morning of the
30th announces the arrival at that port of the
United States steamer Ossipee, without the
Virginius, and it was rumored that the latter
vessel had sunk.
John F. Patterson, of New York, has sent a
letter to Secretary Fish, dated December 26th,
declaring that he is the registered owner of
the steamer Virginius. He protests against
the opinion of the Attorney General by which
he and the vessel were condemned on er partt
testimony furnished by Spain. He states that
the Solicitor Of the Treasury gave him bill
Of sale Of the steamer, and thereupon he (Pat.
terson) truly swore that he was owner, and
the Government gave her an American regis
ter, which has eyer since protected her, ANY

SHADQ VS. ON THE CURTAIN.

BY MRS. IDA B. ROBERTS.
SHADOWS on the curtain
Over the way,
Three little heads
AT close of day
Three little forms
With fairy-iike grace
Flit to and fro
In phantom-ohase.
When bright lamps are lighted
A froilc's begun,
AND each heart is longing
For papa to come.
Mamma sits rocking;
If one could see,
I'm sure she's enjoying
The little ones glee.
Soon high on the curtain
A shadow is cast.
And the glad cry arises,
Here's papa at last -
Sweet Todd Iokins first
Has Kiss from papa,
Ihen ,bIother, then sister,
ANA now mamma.
and ohl such frolic
In shadow see,
They pull at his coat,
And tug at his knee;
But three dOwny beds
Claim these shadows gay,
And the curtain is blank
Over the way.
Shadows on the curtain
Over the way
Two little heads
AT close of day,
Dim lamps are lighted,
No frOliC's begun,
The shadow of Death
Has fallen DER one.
Only two darlings
For papa 10 meet,
One less rosy mouth
With kisses sweet,
Only four little feet
Where six have trOd,
One little shadow
An angel with God.

The Bingham Canyon Railroad, in
Utah, cost only $141 per mile. The Salt
Lake Tribune says that it is the cheapest
railroad ever built in any country, and
demonstrates the fact that the great min
eral resources of Utah can be developed
in an extraordinarily short time, by reason
of their ability to build railroads at a cost
but little above that of any ordinary wag-
on road.

IT SEEMS that Prince Bismarck has had
another defeat in his plan for consolidating
Germany. He recently proposed to create q
responsible Ministry of the realm" min
istry that would deal with German affairs di-
rectly from Berlin without the interpositon
of the minor powers, and be responsible to the
German Parliament Having now q Congress
like the United States he would like Cabinet
like our own or, perhaps, like that in England.
But the minor Powers do not fancy this new
step towards submerging their rights in the
new nationality, and, owing to the objections
of Bavaria, Wurtemburg Saxony and Neck
lenburg the plan was withdrawn. This, how
ever, will only be temporary check, for
united Germany means united government,
sooner or later.

resolution of the Assistant Aldermen for a
joint investigation Of the Department of
Charities and Correction, the only examna-
ton into the alleged corruptions Of the depart
ment is that now being made by the Commits
sioners Of Accounts. These Commissioners

already shown that they ore wholly under his

Of Accounts was appointed mainly at the in

these reasons we have no expectation of any

All who are fond Of sports, whether horse
racing, trotting yachting or boating, will
find an interesting programme for the present
week. The spring races of the American
Jockey Club will be continued at Jerome Park
on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. The
fine racing and the crowds that gathered to
witness it last week show that the public
interest grows from day to day in the sport at
that place. Should the weather and tempera-
ture be favorable, the number of visitors, no
doubt, will increase at each meeting till the
season Closes The local racing season may
be said to eliminate at Jerome Park and to be
the preliminary trial of the racing stock which
is to compete at the summer races at Saratoga
and other places. Then there will be trotting
races at the West Side Park, Jersey, to-day,
Wednesday and Friday. Tomorrow the Brook
lyn Yacht Club will continue the yachting
season by having its seventeenth annual
regatta. There is to be free entry Of all
yachts belonging to any duly organized
yacht club in the United States, and
there have been entered ten schooners,
three first class sloops, twelve second class
sloops and four third class sloops The
course is to be from the Southwest Spit, out
side OF Fort Lafayette, eastward of West Bank
buoys Nos. II, Is and Is, and to return west
ward of Dumb Beacon. Should the weather
prove favorable fine regatta is anticipated.
The seventh annual regatta of the Columbia
Yacht Club will be sailed to-day, and there
will be, it is expected, some fifteen or sixteen
yachts engaged in the contest. On Wednes-
day the Williamsburg Yacht Club will have it's
fourth annual regatta, and on Thursday the
annual regatta Of the Long Island Yacht Club
will be held. The boating clubs and crews
are not less active The Columbia College
crew have taken up their quarters at Migrants,
Saratoga Lake, preparatory to the interesting
contest to come off in that locality. The
Schuylkill Navy regatta will be held on the
18th and 18th, when some Of our New York
boatmen will be present. The Lafayette Boat
Club, of Boston, will, on the 18th, have it's
fifth annual regatta on Charles River. The
Washington Heights Resolute Boat Club and
Carman Boat Club will pull six-oar race on
Saturday, and on the same day there will be a
scull race also on that part of the Hudson
River. Base ball will rage throughout the
land. Altogether, these sports, of various
kinds, furnish an interesting programme for
| the present week, and are sufficient to suit
| the tastes Of all classes.

part of the paper description of the out
pouring Of our city population yesterday-and,
in fact as on Sundays generally during the
summer season-to the parks, green fields and
seaside in and near the metropolis. Central
Park, Of course, is the favorite place of resort
because of the convenience and beauty Of that
locality. Many thousands find pleasure, rec
reation and health there. Then Prospect
Park is not less attractive to the crowds of
Brooklyn people. Coney Island, Staten Island
and the splendid Bay OF New York are sought
by numbers who delight to inhale the air of the
salt water. All round New York indeed are
numerous charming and health-giving places
to which our citizens 90, and there is no city
in the world more happily situated in this

AUBURN PRIsoN.-We publish in an
other column q graphic account of convict
life in Auburn Prison, which cannot fail to be
interesting to the public. Year by year the
importance of this institution increases, for,
unfortunately, crime seems to keep pace with
our national prosperity. Our story gives
glimpse of the now sad life
Of those men who for moment
occupied place in the public mind because
of their misdeeds. Notorious murderers and
thieves are held securely within the prison
walls, and it is certainly o matter for con-
graduation that so many Of this class have
been removed out Of the way of inficting
damage ON the industrious part Of the COM
munity.

The Pope AND THE AUSTRIAN EMPEROR.
The foreign newspaper files speak Of the Aus
TRAN Emperor visiting the King Of Italy.
The difficulty in the way is the reception he
would receive from the Pope. For an Aus
trian emperor to visit Rome and not see the
Holy Father would be o scandal to Austria.
At the same time how can the Pope be gra-
cious to guest Of the enemy of all religion,
the King Victor Emmanuel? The Holy
Father himself seems disposed to welcome the
Austrian Emperor, but his advisers protest
against his doing so.

HIGH PRESSURE LoYALTY.-History has

HIGH PRESSURE LOYALTY History has
pretty thoroughly settled the character of
George HL-that he was stubborn, bigoted,
narrow-minded man, without capacity or in
tellect drifting all OF his life into insanity and
doing infinite harm to England by his course
on the American and French revolutions and in
dealing with Catholicism, East India, Ireland
and slavery. We should think that he is
especially king whose name would be forgot
system. But it seems he is monarch whose
birthday is worthy of remembrance, and we
find that it was celebrated with unusual fes-
tivity, and that among those present were men
like Mr.. Disraeli and Mr.. Gladstone.

PoLITICAL FERMENTATION IN FRANcE.-The
desire for battle is general among the cham
pions of the rival parties in France. Clemen-
ceau, the radical Deputy, wants to fight Cas-
sagnac; but that great Quixote of the Bona
partists remembers that Clemenceau affects
pistols and has an awkward habit of hitting his
opponent; he therefore refuses to fight. He has,
however, declared himself ready to do battle
with Gambetta, which is much the same as if
Jem Mace offered to pummel schoolboy.
Clemenceau offers on the part of ten republi-
cans challenge to ten Bonapartist Deputies
probably thinking it the easiest way of get
ting rid of that troublesome faction. The
Bonapartists will not accept this polite
offer nor is Gambetta likely to place
his life at the disposal Of the fenc-
ing master of the Empire. If the habit
of challenging the chiefs Of parties were to
come into fashion it might soon prove fatal
to both the royalists and imperalists, as some
republicans might challenge the Prince Impe-
rial and Count Chambord to mortal combat,
and they would have no better pretence for
refusing to accept the cartel than has Cam
beta.

Our LITERARY CoRREsPoNDENcE.- sea-
son OF rest and entertainment that may be
said to come with summer makes us look with
unusual interest to the bookmakers and the
booksellers to see what new works are in store
5or us. For there comes a time even in
midsummer days. when the rifle and the
rod lose their interest, when it is pleasant to
steal under the shady trees and commune with
some of those noble souls who speak to us
from the printed page There is no friend
ship more lasting than these wise and hushed
friends, who never intrude upon us. who
come when wanted and go when hidden, who
can be dismissed when tiresome without Of
fence, who never presume on cheerful well
come, who never exact or reproach, and who
generally bring comfort and peace. Our dill
gent correspondents tell us what the masters
Of literature are doing in France, England
and Germany, and in certain sense indicate
what will be done in America. In no depart.
ment Of art are we more dependent upon
other lands than in literature, for the books
published in France, Germany and England
in the summer are apt to greet us from our
own pressas in the autumn and winter.

The various churches of the city were
thronged with worshippers yesterday, and the
preachers feeling no doubt the influence OF
the season pronounced fresh and vigorous
addresses, urging their focks to continue in
the path that leads to salvation. The spirit
of the teachings left nothing to be de-
sired. 1t was broad and truly Chris
tan. DR.. Bellows in q brilliant ad-
dress grappled with many points Of
vital interest to the well being of religion.
According to his view creeds, dogmas and
to closer communion between God and man

work of the Master. ''The Love of Christ
was the text selected byJ. Edgar Johnson, and
this preacher aimed at showing 'that life, in
all its varied conditions, was full of hope that
was born of love of the living God" Mr..
Beecher dealt with the important subject Of
uncharitable criticism with his usual
eloquence. No one in the pulpit is perhaps
better qualified from varied experience to
grapple with this question and it is we'll that
the spiritual head of Plymouth church has the

many Christians who recklessly indulge in
criticisms of their neighbors MIR. Frothing-
ham selected Human Nature" as the subject
to discourse upon. He pointed out the ne
cessity OF thoroughly acquainting ourselves
with the real nature of men and
women, as upon that nature all religious and
political doctrine must rest. He quoted
Chinese and Indian philosophers who had
lived before Christ to prove the intimate rela-
tons which exist between all men and the
tendency of the human mind towards virtue
and morality independent OF the teachings of
Christianity. 1t is well that these views, far
removed from Church dogmatism, should
be preached by o learned and elo-
quent man. Such ideas, strongly and
clearly expressed, do much to advance
that universal faith in humanity on which the
political and religious doctrines, faith and
practice of the future will have to be based.
The age Of mystery has passed, and men will
only receive as true what they can clearly un-
derstand, especially in matters OF religious
belief. The other churches were equally
active in their labors, and quite large
number of persons were baptized in the va
rious places of worship.

The Leader Of the Tammany Democracy
and the Mayoralty Nomination.

The Leader OF the Tammany Democracy
and the Mayoralty Nomination.
AS the head of the Tammany Society Mr..
John Kelly is the recognized leader of the
Tammany democracy of the city Of New York.
The construction of the organization places
autocratic power in the hands of the Grand
Sachem. The nominations for public Offices
are made inside Tammany Hail. The Gene
raj Committee controls the nominations and
the Grand Sachem controls the General Com
mittee. There is division in Tammany, it
is true, and those opposed to the present rule
are barely in minority. But the majority
against them, small as it is, is sufficient to
deprive them of real power, and to place them,
bound hand and foot, at the mercy of the
rulers. The consequence is that the Tam
many nominations for the next charter cleo
ton will be made by Mr. John Kelly. Whom
will he give the democrats at the head of their
ticket as their candidate for Mayor of New
York?
Mr.. Kelly has filled several Offices of public
trust, among them those of Alderman, Con-
gresham and Sheriff, and he has filed them
creditably to himself and acceptably to the
people But his ambition has always been to
lead the party as the head of the Tammany or
ganization. He has been defeated by rivals
more fortunate perhaps less scrupulous than
himself, and the magnates so recently over
thrown did not entertain the N ost friendly
feelings towards him. He advanced to the
head on their downfall, and it now remains to
be seen what use he will make of his power
His friends have claimed that he desires to
rebuild and restore to its former proud posi-
ton the New York democracy. His enemies
charge that he has only seized the leadership
in Tammany to force his own nomination for
the Office Of Mayor Mr.. Kelly is an ex-
perienced politician, and he will see at once that
his safety lies in justifying the good opinion
of his friends and classifying the damaging in
situations of his enemies. He can place at
the head Of the Tammany ticket a candidate for
Mayor whose name will be guarantee that
while democratic principles are respected the
interests Of the city are studied; and with
such a nominee he can unite the democracy,
restore the prestige of Tammany and roll up
an old-fashioned democratic majority. Or he
can nominate himself, divide the party yet
more hopelessly than it has hitherto been
divided and risk the loss of the position he
has so recently attained. No sane man ought
to hesitate in making his choice. Mr.. Kelly
has the opportunity before him to establish
his power as leader and to rebuild the demo-
cratic party by firmly resisting the tempta-
tons of Office and nominating some such can
didate as William Butler Duncan or John K
Hackett for Mayor. He would lose oil this
and insure the defeat of Tammany if he should
blindly insist on nominating himself.
