4 SERMON OF POLITICS.

ANEW lofh, awe -
Mr.. Tamadgc, the Brooklyn sensational
preacher, discoursed on politics to n large
audience Sunday morning. In the far east,
he said, one day in the year is given up to
the people to do just as they please, to
say what they please, and the whole land
was full of uproar and wickedness. They
call it the DEVILS day. The election day in
this country is the devils day. The demo-
Gratis call the republicans thieves the re-
publicans call the democrats scoundrcls. 1t
is a battle of the ms to keep in, and of the
outs to get in. lie registers all the poit-
cal lies that are told at state, country and
city elections, just as he registers other lies.
American partsanship, he believed. is more
offensive in the sight of God than the
Ephesian idolatry,
RELIEF FOR GARIBALDI.
BY the sympathy he has deserved as a
result of the information concerning Carl
baldi'U condition, recently published, John
Anderson of this city resolved to give TO
the needy veteran an annuity of $1,000.
A few days ago we learned that some
journalists of Italy favored the scheme for
raising $4,000 and presenting to him as a
national gift. We are now Informed by
cable that the municipality of Naples pro-
poses to tender him an annuity of $4,000.
At this rate there seems TO be a good pros;
pect of his permanent relief
SINGULAR ARREST AT ST. LOUIS.
The st. Louis telegram that portion of
the papers for which Count Won Arnim
was arrested in Germany were found in
this country, is strange enough, but the
whole affair is so extraordinary that we
are prepared for almost anything, though
there are some phases about it calculated
to offend The power of Bismarck Is
much greater in this country than his own,
if he can procure the execution OF an order
for the capture of Count Won Arnm's sec
rotary in the state of Missouri without any
legal warrant. The telegram conveys the
idea that the secretaTy-who, by the way,
is nameess-was held as prisoner by pri-
vate detectives at st. LOUIS. If anything
OF that sort took place it would be well TO
make judicial investigation into the au-
thority of the arrest.
A young man named Anthony }. Com
stock, agent of the New York society for
the suppression of vice, and also an agent
of the United States government for pre-
venting the transmission of obscene matter
through the mails, was assaulted and dan
gerously wounded in Newark on Saturday
night by Charles Conroy of Brooklyn,
whom he had arrested on the charge of
having in his possession money letters OBJ
tanned fraudulently. 1t was the boast of
Conroy that he would wound Comstock for
life, and with his dirk he succeeded in
doing so. The murderous assault showing
in stronger light the desperate chara cter of
the men whose nefariOus business he has
striven to destroy, Mr.. Comstock will be
sustained in the warfare against obscene
literature.
A PEDESTRIAN MATCH.
VIM L. Harding of New York, and Ed
ward Mullen, ex-champion of Boston, are
to walk from Jersey City to Philadelphia,
1O6 miles by the turnpike, starting::at noon
next Tuesday, for $500. The route will be
through Newark, Trenton, and up the
Frankfort road to Masters street, and to
the Grand Central Theatre, where they
will be met by band. A similar purse
has been Offered by Tony Pastor for re.
turn walk.
RACE BETWEEN THE STEAMBOATS,
Shady Side and Sylvan Bell, from New
York to Albany, for $4,000 is proposed
aud it might be an act of kindness to allow
it, as 1t possibly will end the daily races
between these boats on the East River
which are dangerous and disgraceful.

American Geographical Society, returned

journey in Colorado, Wyoming and Utah

sive report of the exploration as conducted
