JUST as we prophesied yesterdav tbe

JUST as we prophesied yesterday, the
report that Mr.. Gladstone had consented
TO again assume the leadership of the
Liberal party of England, is pronounced
wholly without foundation. His course
for the last year has not been that of a
man who was expecting again to actively
enter into political affairs. He has az
rayed against himself a very strong ele-
ment, including not only all the Catholics
Of England, but still larger class who
deprecate any attempt to recall the past
struggles and make new issues ON mat
ters OF religion, However strongly the
Liberals may feel like supporting Mr..
Gladstone in his controversy with Car
ninal Manning, they can not afford to do
80 as party, and the recall OF Mr.. Glad
stone to the leadership would be load
much too heavy for them to carry. AL
though the Catholic element OF England,
nearly to man, is conservative, yet re-
iigious opinion is SO little an issue be-.
tween the two parties at present that
neither could very we'll afford an at
tempt to make capital out OF the
prejudices Of the people on these matters.
Even men who are strong Protestants
or strong Catholics are in favor of, as tar
as possible, keeping it out Of the poiti-
cal issues. The state Of affairs there of
course makes q mans religion much
more matter of politics than would
over be tolerated here, but the tendency
is to do away with this as far as possible,
and the Liberal party would not incur
the disfavor of the supporters OF such a
policy by recalling Mr.. Gladstone to the
leadership SO soon after his controversy
with Cardinal Manning. On the other
hand, Mr.. Gladstone evidently has no
desire to re-enter politics. He evidently
enjoys much more the position of q citi-
Gen tree to speak his mind on any SUBJ
lect without thereby making q party re-
sponsible for his utterances.

A Treasury Lady Who is Sharper than Detec
tive.

The Baltimore SUMS Washington cor
respondent says:
Since the organization of the redemp
tion division OF the Treasury great
deal OF currency, sent in for redempl ION.
has also ut various times mysteriou sly
disappeared, and although great many
safeguards have been placed about those
employed in receiving and counting the
mutilated currency coming in, ''shOrt"
packages continue to be an everyday
occurrence. Recently In New York, a
banker sent in quantity OF currency to
undergo the process OF redemption, and,
to be sRge in regard TO the amount, had
it carefully counted by three experts.
A couple OF days alter he sent it he re-
ceiyed information that the package
came to hand, built was short a consid-
cradle amount. This, too, has been past
finding out. While this division has no
connection with the cashiers depart
ment from which the $47, 900 package was
recently lost, it is wel-kno wn tnat the
same thing occurs there often, though
the amounts are mucn smaller. There
are two men awaiting trial now for abb
stracting money from packages receiy ed
by the redemption dIvision-Mr. J. l..
Frensiy, q messenger, and Albert Grant,
a clerk. The evidence against both,
however, is only circumstantlal, AMI
very slight at tnat.
Some time since Mr.. Graves, chief OF
the redemption division, liked up num-
ber OF decoy packages OF currency, and
sent them through the hands OF
several men and women whom he sus-
picioned. He had detective to watch
the clerks while handling the decoys,
but in the language OF the detective
the clerks stumbled" to every package.
One LADY upon receiving one Of the
packages promptly returned 1t TO Mr..
Graves with the remark, s'Do you think
you can fool me with such package as
thatP l could tell the moment put my
hands on it THAT it was not fixed up ut
the bank; you'd better count it again
ana see ii 1t IL all right"
The next day the detective gave the
matter up as a bad job, admitting as
reason for SO doing that the women
were too sharp ior him, and that ne
would not be able to eaten any OF Them.
adding that he would rather work w d
case against the most notorious or dam
gerous band of counterfeiters or smug-
glers than have anything more to DO
with them.

the demand for II for monetary and
manufacturing purposes.
When the amount of silver was small
lin proportion to the amount Of gold, and
but little was thrown onthe market from
any source, its value. compared with
gold, increased in marked degree. This
was the case few years ago when the
gold bearing mines of Australia and
California were producing rapidly, and
before the silver mines OF this country
had been developed or silver been de-
monetized by any of the countries of the
world. An entire revolution has, how
ever, taken place In the primary ooHdi-
tion of affairs, and following 1t has come
the fall of silver. The silver mines of this
country are producing more largely than
the gold fields, and the German Govern
gment, having decided to demonetize it's
silver coin, is throwing three hundred
million dollars worth Of silver on the
market. There being no unusual de-
mand for the surplus the result has very
naturally been decrease in price, apd
silver has depreciated nearly 10 per
cent. dn value and put itself nearly ON
par with our currency,
In addition to this 1t may be remarked
that Belgium and Holland show amarked
disposition to do away with their silver
coinage, except for token purposes, and
thus throw another $1O0,O0O,0O0 worth
upon the market.
1t is thus seen that the market is now
over stocked, and the question only
rests upon the current demands to show
the probabilities OF future prices. Ger
many last year exported ElO,00o,OOO into
France and England, which was largely
in excess of the usual amount thus trans,
ferred. These countries in turn ,ex.
ported to the Asiatic countries some
f6,0oo,0oO, which is nearly double the
usual amount.
The fowfrom Germanyto TO Asia through
these channels must be temporary. Even
at this rate, however, it would take six
years to dispose OF Germany's surplus,
TO say nothing OF that OF Belgium and
Holland or OF the productions OF our own
mines and that OF other sources.
The recent purchase in the West by Di-
rector Linderman was made at very low
rates-and as such has been highly COM
mended.' 1t seems improbable that the
present oyerplus will be sufficiently di |
ninished to increase the rates by the
lime further purchases are necessary,
md it is expected by many that the
prices will be still lower in the future.

SARDIS, MISS.
A Brutal Murder, and One that Should
be Punished swiftly and 10 Ihe Full
ExtenI Of the Law.

From the Sardis Miss Star, of yes
terday, we learn the following particu-
lars relative to the homicide in our issue
of yesterday: "On Saturday last two
young white men by the names of Will
liam r. Still and George Bradford, went
to the house OF a colored man named
Fred Tolbert and asked to have them a
meal prepared. Tolbert replied that he
had nothing very good, but that he
would give them the best he had, and
put his wife to work preparing the meal.
Still Rnd Bradford did not stay until the
meal was ready, but said they were in
hurry and must 60. TOlbert went with
them TO the gate, when they asked him
for q chew of tobacco. TOlbert pulled
out q small piece of tobacco and said it
was all he had. They took it and
divided it, then mounted their horses,
and one asked the other il he was
ready, and he said yes. Tolbert stood lean
ing against the palings, noticing them
start off One of them-we have not
been able to learn which-then fired at
Tolbert, shooting him through the body,
from which he died on the twenty. sixth.
There has been no cause yet known why
they killed TOlbert, Sc he was quiet
and inoffensive man, as we have
been informed by white men who knew
him for years. The shooting occurred
in the edge Of Lafayette county, and
these miserable fiends in human shape
hanging-deserving wretches-were in
town on the twenty-fifth and twenty
sixth instant. We must here make a
remark as to the promptness of civil Of
ficers in letting these murdeTers run at
large openly and publicly for this len 9Th
of time, and then go off as they have
uone; 'I st We nust s!, safS III yussice W

crime. We would not 90 thousand
miles to prevent the hanging of these
two chaps, yet We are not in favor OF
mob law, but we think that rope and

Memphis Art.

Correspondence of the Nashville Union and
Americana
ST. LOUIS, May 23.-There has lately
been placed on exhibition at Harding's
gallery in st. Louis, a "He8d of Christ, /"
| by Paul Gutherz, the Memphis artist.
The work will be entered at the centen-
| nial exhibition, and there is no reason
to doubt that the already enviable repu-
tation Of the young artist will be in
creased by the exposition of this picture,
which is one of special excellence. The
treatment OF the subject diffeIs, however,
in some important respects from the
idealiZations of nearly all other artists
who have wrought out their conceptions
Of the man of sorroWs. This Christ
seems risen above the world. grief in q
moment of solemnly triumphant
strength, and he is looking out far be-
yOnd the present with its coil of agony;
the cross upon his shoulders, though
large and heavy, does not weigh him
down, and the thorn-crown rests above
q brow which is serene, and almost
radiant. Hardly could this be called
an Ecce Homo, so much of the di-
vine has been trsnsfixed in the
subject. A keen susceptibility to
human pain is expressed in
the nervous, delicate organism, which
at the moment is all in allegiance to the
regnant spirit. The figure is painted in
shadow, the only light which is intro
duced into the picture, being that of
the auerole, with its rays appearing
from behind the head. The background
Of the picture is blue, and the robe of
the Christ deep vermillion, with 3
border at the neck of Grecian lines. |
Around an inner portion of the frame,
which is matted with black velvet, is |
wreathed twig of giIded thorn. branches. |
These are natural, having been gath |
cred from the woods in Illinois; the |
little blisters of the bark are plainly |
discernible in the bright gliding; and |
the numerous thOrns are as sharp as |
ever grew without golden cover. An
other symbolism appears in the form of
three large spikes driven into the frame,
forming a triangle. A high degree Of
idealistic quality in treatmeI which |
appears to mark this artists work in /
general, is in this case the more no.
ticeable, as appearing in picture where
there is something Of deviation from
the long. establish I'd general manner OF
this subject. Whatever view
critics may take of the matter as con-
Germs TIE motive, the work is not likely
to be thought in any sense a common
one.

bipber motive OF desire TO sustain the
feeling Of citizenship and pride in the
Union which is the best result Of all
these efforts 70 spread fraternsi feeling.

20 doub. that the country at large is

A GENTLEMAN, whom we know TO be
aud 20 have been for years q consistent
member OF Calvary church in this city,
writes to Us inclosing the Endorsement
of Moody and Ssnky by the archbishop
Il Canterbury, and then asks why it is
that the Episcopal ministers Of Mem
phis DO not take part in the exer-
cises at the Exposition build
ing directed by Mr.. Whittle. We
suppose it Is because the Episcopal
church holds itself as an organization
above what It terms the sects, and can
not, therefore, without stultifying itself,
take notice OF such irregular move
ments az this Of Whittle's. OF course,
we DO not speak upon authority, nor
would we have our suppOsiti1n taken to
be the right answer. We merely give it
a. in some degree authorized by the po-
sition which the Episcopal church, as a
church, hiss hitherto taken in all such
cases in the United States. There are
exceptions 70 this rule, such as the
Tynge and others, but they are few and
far between.
