A Detroit young woman tried to be
aristocratic and did not look at the
money that she gave to the horse-car
conductor, but he meekly gave her
back the lozenge on which was writ
ten, " I'll never cease to love thee, "
and said that he was an orphan with
five little brothers to support, and
must be excused.

THE THIRD DIsTI0T.

The race between Messrs. Darrall
and Breaux In the Third Congress
sionitl District has been much more
closely contested than we had antici-
pated. The Terrebonne compromise
and disaffections existing in the Re-
publican organizations of several par
ishes of the district have probably
tended to produce this result. Mr..
Breaux ran ahead of his ticket in a
majority of the parishes, but in St.
Mary, Cameron and Lafayette his
vote fell off and Mr.. DarralPs showed
a corresponding increase. In Terre-
bonne the majority is claimed by each
candidate, and Republican advices
just after the election announced a
plurality Of 40 votes for Mr.. Darrall
i'll Lafayette, whereas Democrats al
1ege that Mr.. Breaux received 439
majority. We must await further
advices to determine the actual result
in those parishes.
In the following statement of ma
jorities all the Democratic claims are
conceded. Correct returns will prob
ably increase the majority for Mr..
Darrall to l00O,at least.

The New Orleans Louisianian ex.
presses on opinion in this wise:


The honest Republican attitude of the
ponalslsonville CHIEF on the candidacy of
Hon. Pierre Landry, the regular Republican
nominee iii the Seventh Senatorial District
for the Senate, deserves as it will receive
the hearty esteem Of true Republicans
throughout the State. Against an effort by
dishonest party officials and bad men to de-
feat Mr.. Landry the CHIEF stood firm,
nobly advocating the right, and doing much
to secure Mr.. Landry's election.
Whether we deserve this encomium
is not for US tojudge, but we cordially
thank our contemporary for the
spirit Of friendship and good will
displayed toward US, and trust the
attitude of the CHIEF will ever merit
the approval Of such sterling and able
journals as the Louisianian.

while her oid-time rival, Harvard, seems not
to have made as good use OF her winter, il re-
port speaks truly and makes one serious il
not fatal biunder, in having no spare men
ready for any gap that the feverish days just
before the race may suddenly open.
And it begins TO look true that the
two Amhersts and Bowdoin will not
be there this year. The latter, from
losing four of her old men, may feel
justified in staying out but it would do her
at least as much credit it, like the Wesleyans.
with but one of last years crew to count on,
or Princeton, with no last years crew at all,
she would take her place among her fellows.
However, by all accounts, she is very mutinous
this year. But what ails the Amhersts and
their neighbors the Agges? Four of the latter
remain from last year, even though their wiry
stroke has gone; and it seems hard that they
should SO quickly sink again into the oblivion
from which he so calamity raised them, not
many Julys ago, at Ingleside, and led them in
ahead of all. And of the former but one has
gone, and among the five remaining is he
who was the strongest, toughest looking man
on the Connecticut last summer. What would
not Trinity or Princeton, or, in short, any Of
all the nine, give if they could get him into
their boat for quarter of an hour four weeks
from next Thursday? Il will be hard work to
convince the public that the wickedness of
Saratoga is the only reason and the whole
reason for staying at home. Let us hope,
rather, that the rumor is correct that, late in
the day, she will be on hand, perhaps to re-
peat the brilliant story Of two years ago.
There is plenty Of room this time; no crowdng,
no crooked course, no sand bars, no low river

Italy and Her Financial Condition.

Italy and Her Financial Condition.
Our letter from Rome on another page gives
on admirable view of the financial troubles
with which the government of the Kingdom of
Italy finds itself compelled to deal. Finan-
cial troubles of our own assist us to sympa-
thize with any country that finds them in it's
way, and give US an immediate interest in
the study Of the story of their solution. For
this reason the letter of our correspondent,
It will be seen that the financial difficulty
which the Italian Ministry and Parliament
have before them for present consideration is
a deficiency in the yearly income. Although,
like ourselves, they have also on their hands
the graver difficulty Of deprecated paper
and the necessity of organizing an efficient
and uniform currency, they first devote them
selves to theapparently trivial labor of adjust
ing their yearly income to their yearly expen-
diture and main share of attention is given
to this point Yet the sum on the wrong side
of the books is only twenty-six millions of dol
lars 1t seems to US that the Italians are wise

Guilty for the small trouble grows greater by
neglect, and the colossal is more easily dealt
with as time goes on and wealth accumulates.
Would that our government could learn this
simple lesson and it would not try to pay the
national debt before it tried to make dollar
bill worth one hundred cents.

The Sermons Yesterday.

As the summer advances and the time draws
near when the attractions of country resorts
lead many away from their comfortable pews
and the exhortations of their pastors, the SER
mons become unusually interesting, as if the
preachers had reserved their best efforts
for the last of the season. The churches were
well attended yesterday, and the subjects were
as varied as they were exhaustively treated.
Mr.. Beecher gave one of his characteristic and
forcible essays on "Life Work." showing the
great results that are constantly in course Of
development from an active worker in the
world. A good mans life is seed sower,
bringing out germs of goodness in others, and
even after death the work is not suspended,
but it goes on increasingly. The work Of q
great man lives after his death. He
cited as examples some Of the most
distinguished characters in history. The
subject seemed to be q congenial one
to such an active mind as that of Mr.
Beecher, and was discussed by him with elo-
quence and feeling. Mr.. rockingham re-
viewed sermon recently delivered by the
Plymouth church pastor on the subject of
sHuman Nature" which took the ground
that the enviable title of "Sons Of
God" could only be applied to those
who had succeeded in purifying their
nature from the depravity attached to
it. Mr.. Hepworth gave dramatic description
OF the two great events of the Christian era
the crucifxion and the resurrection of the
Redeemer-to exemplify the consoling doctrine
that the darkest hour is the hour before day.
Mr.. Talmage prayed for light upon the men,
bers of Congress who ore at their wits end,
laundering over financial questions-a very
timely prayer and one which will find an
echo in thousands of hearts. The number of
baptisms and communicates for the past
month or two shows that the good work goes
on encouragingly and that the preachers
efforts are not truitless in the salvation of
souls.

"LEs MIsERABLEs. There is no word in
the French tongue that conveys the conteinp-
tuous, bitter and fierce anger of ''miseraJles"
1t cannot be translated into English without
writing treatise upon it's various shades of
meaning. We see now that the word which
Gambetta applied to the Bonapartists in the
debate which made such profound impress
sion upon France, and for which he was
struck on the face by the Zouave commander
who has been imprisoned, was ''misfrabies,"
which the cable translated simply ''wretches. "
The debate seems TO have been unusually
bitter, Gambetta having been reprimanded by
the President; but he would not apologize, and
the Assembly adjourned. These scenes have all
the dramatic force of the French Revolution,
and recall those tremendous times when the
oath was sworn in the tennis court and when
Deputies sat up for days and nights slowly
concentrating the supreme destiny Of king.

TIE ARREST Of a few acrobats and clog
dancers, or whatever they were, at an east
side beer garden last night raises anew the
question OF allowing public entertainments on
Sunday. Either all public amusements on
that day ought to be suppressed or oil ought
to be allowed. It is not just, for instance, to
say that full orchestra is allowable
for people Of finer tastes and the song
and dance business not allowable for
people Of less refined appreciation. The best
policy, we think, and the one that will most
tend TO conserve public morals would be to
let them oil alone; but discrimination is both
Puritanicai and hypocritical. If, however,
the authorities believe these places ought to
be suppressed let the proprietors and NAH
ayers DO arrested and not the poor people
who earn pittance for their children by ex-
orciing their talents on Sunday nights.

The College Struggle Mt Saratoga.

The College struggle Mt Saratoga.
For some time back our correspondent has
been among the student oarsmen, whose day
at Saratoga draws near watching their doings,
searching out their strength and weakness,
and laying all before the public, as
well as of course enabling the contestants
themselves to judge more accurately of their
prospects from this friendly information. In
it all one fact crops out constantly It is that
everywhere there is much more thorough prep
aration than almost ever before. No lazy de-
ferring Of everything till the last few weeks,
as Oxford did this year, but long, steady win
ter work at the rowing weights, in the gym
nasium, and on the road; numerous substitutes
in active training; boats built and ready;
new lighthouses erecting; oars brought
in from England; barges provided so
that the coach can accompany his crew
and have his eyes constantly on them;
college faculties, shrewdly noting the fine
card wen-doing in this contest gives their
institution, allotting a generous amount to
their boat club; professional trainers dis

can do better work and do it much more
cheerfully by coming up to the score with
good jacket of beef on them instead Of a
smere ruckle of bones"
But, marked as is the improvement, there
is here and there evident room for more.
The Dartmouth Giants" did no winter
work-a piece Of neglect which is sure to tell in
the sharp, distressing work Of the last mile.
II q contest like this Is worth going into at
all, it should be gone into with whole heart and
soul; indeed, this eager devotion is one of
its best qualities. Relying on their bulk
ons. year ought to prove enough without
Aeeaaii1 falling into the same fatal blunder.
Giants time out Of mind have generally had
bad luck. From the Anakim and Goliath
down, somehow in personal encounters
they always manage to get pummelled
by some middle weight, like David or the
late Thomas Sayers, and they secure little
pity, because their defeat is by their own fault.
In last years race these New Hampshire
giants we're nowhere. and glaring faults stood
out oil over their work. Now they expect to
van9uish many of the very men who beat them
then, and that without meanwhile doing half
us much hard work of kind which will tell
directly on their chances. A little more of the
sort OF spirit that brings Willioms-the rear

and then disports itself by drying out from
