The Difference.

Gath" writes in the New York Graphic:
Mr.. Disraeli is reported in the Heralds
veracious Sunday dispatches to have ct.
cured the whole Irish vote in favor of the
Queen receiving the title Of Empress of
India" In consideration of this vote he
is to pardon the Fenian prisoners, Jail de-
liveries being the only form of concession
to the public when the Queen acquires a
new founce. We should call this bribery
and corruption in America, impeach the
President. and set his minister in the
stocks. But what is sauce for the gander
is syrup for the goose. There is Wales, the
hopeful son, maturely bald headed, coming
home from India, where he has epent
principality. Had Fred Grant bought out
green grocery store he wonld have been
abused all over America. For making Q
trip with General Sherman at his own ex,
pense he was dipped in birthstone The
difference between English loyalty and
ours is self-respect. We make our govern
meDt the representative of our personal re-
sentiment and henpeck it every day in the
year. The Euglishman's government is
his ever bright ideal and the Queen its
virgin mother.

Apropos of getting ont of church, Dr..
Edward Beecher tells this story OF N r.
Willis and the Park Street Church, Boston:
During revival at Andover, while labor.
ing under great excitement Willis believed
that he had become Christian and joined
the Church. After few months he came
to the speaker and told him that he had
made mistake, and asked him If he could
not be let out of the Church. The speaker
told him he would do what he could. de
laid the case before the Church, but found
that they were held strictly by the usage
letter, death or accommodation the
speaker told him that if he wanted to leave
90 bad that he would have to be put out.
So the poet vent to the thestre, and that
was considered bad enough to excommu-
nicate him. and Mr.. Willis got his release.

BRIEF MENTION.-The rain Thursday
night and Friday morning was not vel
come.
1t having been roundly asserted and pos
itively sworn to that bunko still had a nest
or two in the old haystacks, two policemen
were stationed at one door and none at the
others.
A few days ago q small item appeared in
this column, briefly mentioning that
building at the corner of Camp and Poydras
streets had been open, night and day, for
weeks and not reported by the police,
which now requires an explanation. 1t is
true that the doors have not been closed or
locked in many days, simply because the
proprietor sees fit to keep somebody con-
stantly in charge. Therefore, as Captain
Gray says, it is no affair of the police.
The recorders courts yesterday did
nothing more than to clear the docks of
their miseries.
Jenny and Cora Lee, badly soiled doves
of Dryades street. were last evening hung
up in the first calaboose because somebody
parted with $40 in currency by process
which is considered irregular.
James Moore had $36, and then he didn't,
after having little talk with Lizzie Hen
derson, who soon thereafter pillowed her
wicked head On a plank in the first pre-
cinct stationhouse.
II. j. Koelpers was intrusted with tie
finances of an auction house on Camp
street, and the proprietor now thinks that
Koelpers knows too much concerning the
disposition of that currency. Accused was
allowed to limp into one of Captain Gray's
private parlors. Mr.. w. B. Stevenson is
the complainant, and he will not let up
until he sees the end. l
The effect of Good Friday on crimes and
criminals was plain, as there were very few
arrests all yesterday, and those few were of
a trifling nature.
hats on Thursday disappeared yesterday,
or else disguised themselves in old over
coats.
George Cod fshed for bread at the corner
of Poydras and Franklin streets, and, na-
turally enough, the vile wretch was arrest
ed. He had no business to be hungry and
poor at the same time.
Fish dealers in the public markets should
have had their ears cut off yesterday morn
ing, az they charged enormous prices for
their truck. There is one consolation, the
mean butchers sold but little meat.
Since the last grand bunko "squeal" there
has been an active demand for the report
49, IF TAM
Loan before the police committee Of the
Legislature.
There seems to be little mystery in the
burglary matter at the residence of MIR.
Nash on Custom house, near Bourbon
street. Perhaps Captain Lawlor has or
will hear of it.
The attempt to assassinate Mr.. Morris
in Gretns several days ago has not yet
reached police headquarters.

Newton was yesterday quietly put into
