JUDGE FERGUSON, John Slack, jr, and

ton endeavoring to prevent the granting
Of license this year. It is something
novel to see prominent and aspiring
Democrats at work in such cause. The
Judge is out in an exhortation to the
people to wake up to u realization oi
their interests. His estimate is that
the average daily sales Of liquor in
Charleston-in 81 saloons--amount, at SIC
each, to $50 per day, or sll3l5o per
year. And he says that the misfortune is
that this money is spent, for the most
part, by poor men, inaSmuch. as the rich
generally provide good article in demi'
johns, which they buy at wholesale or i'm
port from abroad.
Some people think that the Judge has

Z In the Senate to.day.JMr. Davis Dem,
w. Va, said the accounts in the Pension
Bureau were kept under separate heads
now. The whole number OF pensioners
now on the roll was 234,a2l. The amount
paid ior pensions IN 1875 was so, 500 600
more than s. 900 900 In excess Of the sum
paid. This three million dollars was ex-
pended in some way, but did not go to
the pensioners.
Mr.. Davis moved to amend the clause
in regard to the contingent expenses Of
the Pension Bureau 80 it should read,
"such contingent expenses as may be rec
omended by the Commissioner Of PEN
sions, aud approved by the Secretary OF
the Interior" Agreedto.

twenty-five or twenty-eight years Of age,

Fervent heat and fervent piety combined
to make yesterday remarkable day among
the church-going people of our community.
The first condition brought them out of
doors and the second naturally led them to
the churches. There they were refreshed
by the breath OF religion, which watts mems
thoughts from the heated and stormy strug-
Giles Of life to the calm and blissful contem-
plation OF an eternity of repose. Well suited
to the times were the remarks of Father
Lilly, at the Church of st. Vincent Ferrer,
in which he showed how impossible it is to
serve two masters. and that an inordinate
love of the world is one Ct the
most fruitful sources of evil At tho

We give on another page of the HERALD
some pithy features Of haps and mishaps in
the literary world of the great metropolis
1t is quaint story that is told of the cause
for the expulsion Of the poet Swinburne from
that dim little byway, the Arts Club. He
danced a jig on the hats of the company.
If you touch Londoner's hat you touch the
tenderest, the most sensitive point Of all his
relations with the visible facts OF this life
his dignity, his pride, his conscience, his
honor. London has many idols, but none
Of such consequence as the stovepipe hat.
That hat is the emblem of responsibility, Of
probity, of clean bill Of health, morally,
socially and physically. Anything favorable
may be believed Of man in a stovepipe hat !;
but Rothschilds themselves would not dis
count the paper Of man in any other kind
of headgear. In the incident ut the Arts
Club there is new illustration Of
this regard for the great headdress
of the age. Swinburne has INDUCED in
many vagaries He has recognized no limit
in the moral law, nor even in good manners.
He has not merely spoken disrespectfully of
the Equator, like Sydney Smiths friend;
he has sneored at all the cardinal points of
British faith, and all with impunity; but he
puts his foot on that last stronghold of
British dignity-the stovepipe hat-and
that proves too much for an outraged
patience. Any other injury could be endured;
that one must be avenged, and SO out goes
Swinburne. Our correspondent tells very
pretty story of Ruskin and little American
pupil, which gives glimpse at the brighter
side of this gcntleman's character, of which
the public has heard less than Of the side
which represents him us a perennial snnrler
at almost oil things under the sun. 1t is a
story Of the sort that is very pleasant to hear
told Of man of this class, for the world
likes to know, finally. that the gentler ele-
ments are not left out in the making of o
man of great capacity.

The special telegram from Rome which is
published in the HERALD to-day announces
rapid decline Of the physical powers of the
Pope, and indicates that, to a certain extent.
his mental faculties IRE also impaired. His
Holiness is, it is said, very feeble in body.
Two prelates of the Church are required to aid
him to move about during the ceremony OF
Vatican receptions, and he has given up his
routine custom of blessing the religious
symbols which are presented to him by
numerous pilgrims, and refuses to speak any
language except the Italian, thus disappoint-
ing hundreds Of devotees who travelled from
France to tho centre Of Catholic unity.
His voice remains strong as ever.
The bodily decline of the Pontif is not
cause for alarm. Should he live until the
18th Of tho present month he will have COM
peted the eighty fourth year of his age. He
has endured many hnrdships since the time
of his first missionary labor in South Amer
lea, and has borno many and grievous eccle-
siastical tribulations. In the ordinary course
of human events he cannot live long, but it
should be borne IN mind, however, that the
weather in Rome at this season of the year
is very dangerous to aged people. The Pope
has been affected by this Italian summer
fever almost yearly since his return to
Europe from Peru. That his voice should
remain strong may however, be regarded as
n favorable sign. 1t is well known that Pho
Mono is somewhat eccentric in his likes and
dislikes, and very stubborn in the defence
of his ideas. His refusal to speak except in
Italian is just his manner of indicating to
tho world that of his country, Italy, tho
language alone remains to him.
