In passing the residence of Mrs.
Jacob Little, one day this week, We
were called in 10 look at quilt that
had just been put in BY her aged
mother, Mrs. Russell, for her own use.
The quilt is composed of scraps cut
from calico bought by Mrs. Russell in
her youthful days, the most of it, she
informed us, cost 80 cents per yard.
The colors were beautiful and much
more durable than those of this fast
age. In answer to our question as to
how many yards it took to make dress
in those days, size replied, we did not
wear the pin-backs, and only used five
yards. 1t occurred to US that our
modern bellies would cut gay figure
in dress Of Eve PROFESSIONALLY they
make short steps. and how in the name
of common sense would they jump and
climb fence? 1t amused the young
lady quilters much to hear the worthy
old matron speak of things of the old
en- time. We sigh for a return of

The Floc,xs and the Shepherds.

The pulpits yesterday, both in this city
and Brooklyn, mostly revealed strange faces,
and where the pastors were in their churches
it was because they were not yet sufficiently
well known to make a summer vacation
necessity. 1t is fact worthy of much study
that celebrity is the first step toward the
seaside or the mountain with our city
preachers, and it is perhaps a matter not so
much to be deplored as would seem at first
regular clergy gives candidates from Phila-
delphia and Boston an opportunity to be
heard in the metropolis, and the departure Of
the more celebrated among our pulpit orators
affords those who are not so well known
chance to make reputation. These PROPOSE
tions are well illustrated by the discourses
we print this morning. Not one of our more
famous clergymen was on hand yesterday to
distribute the bread of life among the faith
full. At the Church of Our Saviour the SER
mon was preached by the Rev. ]. H Hartzell,
of Boston. Professor Griffin, of Williams
College, filed the pulpit at the University
place church. DR.. Porter, of the Methodist
Book Concern, went over to the Tompkins
avenue Congregational church in Brooklyn.
The services at the De Kalb avenue Methodist
Episcopal church were made somewhat re-
markable by the Rev. S. II. Platt, of Bridge
port, who recounted his miraculous cure.
The Rev. w. T. Clarke preached at the
Church Of the Messiah and the Rev. J. M.
Ludlow at the Collegiate Dutch Reformed
church. The other pulpits were filed by
the lesser lights among the clergy, and yet
we scarcely lament the absence of the great
names, for while our distinguished pastors
are seeking fresh fields and pastures new the
focks which remain at home are finding
other shepherds. In all this there is a great
interest, and we commend our reports of the
sermons this morning as an epitome of what
can be done in the absence of our pulpit fa-
yorites.
The New York herald., 1875-08-30
Valmaseda's Loan.

The curious document addressed to the
wealthy merchants of Havana by Count VAL
maseda, which we publish in another
column, will give a good insight into the
condition of affairs in Cuba. Notwithstand-
ing all the Dragging dispatches from the
seat of war in which the official Spanish
journals indulge, it is plain that the Cuban
tactics are telling on the resources of Spain
So long as the fight was maintained only in
the Eastern and Central departments the
Spaniards could have continued the struggle
indefinitely at a certain outlay of human
blood, Of which Spanish governments have
never been chary. The torch has proved
more effective than the sword, and unless
the insurrection can be suppressed this
winter the wealth of Cuba must disappear
The prospect before Cuba is not very reas-
suring-to be saved by Valmaseda or ruined
by the insurgent torch is only choice of
evils But bad as is the destruction of prop
erty involved in the burning of the sugar
estates, it may in the end prove the most
humane policy. 1t will terminate the strug-
gle within a given period; for when the
Spaniards find nothing worth fighting for
they will very soon abandon the struggle to
maintain themselves in Cuba. We doubt
very much whether the twelve thousand
men promised by Valmaseda in return for
the forced loan of eighty thousand dollars
will interfere much with the march of events
even should they ever reach Cuba, which,
although the Spanish government promises
them in September, is still doubtful.
The New York herald., 1875-08-30
Telegraph con.olldation.

We have an announcement that comes in
directors of the Western Union and Atlantic
and Pacific Telegraph companies have been
In consultation for the purpose of agreeing
upon basis for consolidating the two lines.
This negotiation has been denied and re-
affirmed in every possible shape for the past
few weeks. The public will take little in
terest in the terms of the negotiation, look
ing upon the whole matter as simply stock
jobbing enterprise. The conclusion of this
alliance will virtually bring to an end all
those pleasant dreams of cheap telegraphy
with which the managers of the two lines
amused the public some few months ago. 1t
is impossible not to observe also in this con-
solidation the fact that Jay Gould becomes
prominent influence In our telegraph
system.
Whatever objections there may be to the
government taking the telegraph, and we
are not insensible to them, there is no dam
ger so great as that which threatens it now.
1t is an open secret that the stock gamblers
are preparing to makea demonstration on the
Western Union Telegraph. They have been
gambling with our telegraphs for the last
few months. 1t was to crafty this gambling
instinct that the stock of the main company
was so largely watered as to be far beyond its
real value. Once permit these desperate
spectators, such a man, for instance, as
Jay Gould, who has never put his hand
upon an enterprise he did not blight and
when he retired from the management of
great corporation two or three years ago was
compelled to return millions of dollars
which he had unlawfully appropriated-on
permit this man to take possession of the
telegraph and we have one of the most i'm
portant functions of our modern government
at the mercy of desperate adventurer who
may place any rates he pleases on the tele-
graph and make it so much burden to the
people that the government will be COM
PEELED to buy it from him at his own price.
This whole question of telegraphy and its
relation to the general government must be
settled soon. We have no especial fault to
find with the Western Union. We believe
that it is managed as well as any of our large
public interests. Mr.. Orton, its President,
is capable and honest man who will do
nothing to prejudice the rights of the stock
holders. He has no power over the holders
of the stock nor over the votes they may
choose to cast when they come to another
election. The spectacle of great interest,
an interest that belongs to the people as
much as the Post Office, or the army, or the
navy, lowering on the verge of this Niagara
of bankruptcy and degradation, that abyss
into which the Erie has fallen and to
which it was driven by Jay Gould and
his partners, is not reassuring. If the gov
ernment cannot interfere to protect the
people from one of the gravest possible dan
gers then it fails in one of the elementary
duties of government.

Wall Street Robbers.

A contemporary, speaking of the transac-
tions on Wall street recently, says:-'The
market was clearly under the subdued infu-
ence of a long-continued milking process, by
which small percentages are daily and almost
hourly drawn from the pockets of that un-
fortunate class known as outsiders. 1t is
system which begets distrust on the part of
large numbers who have other pursuits, but
who, when trade in their several specialties
is dull, endeavor to while away the weari-
some days and turn an honest penny in Wall
street. This being the class of persons from
which in the main the speculative market
must draw its recruits their general discour-
agement is a permanent and an apparently
irremedial detriment to the commissioned
brokers" This is public announcement
to the effect, namely, that the highway rob-
bers who control Wall street have not been
doing well lately because business travellers
no longer go that way.
This whole Wall street business must some
time or other come to an end. 1t is n sure
sign that the end is approaching when we
have public declaration to the effect that
the banditti complain that business is falling
off because they can find nobody to rob. 1t
shows that honest citizens who have money
to invest, and who would be well enough
pleased to put it into good securities if OPP
