paid at the same inadequate rate as
last year; except a slight increase in the
Central school salaries, which are still.
below fair compensation. There is.
however. some satisfaction in looking
forward to a better order Of things in
this regard, when our Territory be-
comes State and comes into her proper
heritage.

Mr.. Wayne MacVeagh's reply to Gen
eral Butler is in its way quite as good
sample of terse latter writing as the lat
ter's missive to Marshal Pitkin. The
Pennsylvania commissioner does not
confine himself to sarcasm, however, but
tells the general very plainly that he lies,
and not merely that, but lies with the
full knowledge that he is lying. He also
intimates pretty broadly that the reason
the Massachusetts Comanche confouBds
the history of the southe IN compromise
is because he has always been accustom-
ed himself to securing political ends by
dishonest methods. In reminding him
that it is still possible in this country to
secure political results by straightfor-
ward means, Mr.. MacVeagh is merciless-
ly cruel, and we do not see what answer
the general can pu' in except to hold his
accuser personally resp onsible. This is
not the first time, however, that Butle'
has been bottled up, and we may expect
to hear shortly that he has crawled ou
with his usual agility.

READINGs.-Yesterday evening, Miss
N. G. Wickham concluded the series of
Critical Readings in American Literature
with which she has been lately delight
ing our citizens.
The theme last evening, was ':The
Humorous in American Literature. 'and
the text of her discourse was illustrated
with excellently rendered selections.
Among the selections the most note
worthy came from the pens of Holmes,
Lee, Bret Harte, Lowell, SAKE, Mark
Twain, and the Danbury Ne,cs man. The
readings were an intellectual treat of The
highest description; Miss Wickham pos,
sessing clear, sympathetic voice, joined
with an excellent eloqutionary knowl-
edge and keen perception of the quail
ties of wit and ridicule. We hope that
at some future time, not far distant, Miss
Wickham may return to our city again

PANIC INA CHURCH

NEw York, May 3l.-A panic took
place in the Roman Catholic church Of
ST.. Antonio. in Sullivan street, this
morning. A large congregation was
gathered to witness the administration
of the holy communion to a number of
Sunday school children. These latter
all wore gossamer wells, one of which
took fire from the candelabra, A cry of
fire was raised, and the greater part of
the congregation rushed for the doors,
but the efforts of the priests and ushers,
who kept the doors closed, prevented a
calamity, and the fire having been ex-
tinguished, and the congregation reas-
sured, the services proceeded without
further interu ption. Some parties re-
ceived severe bruises during the STAN

STOLEN HARNEss.-As officer Cloud
was walking along Market street, in the
Ninth Ward, last evening, he noticed a
negro man coming down the street, with
suspicious looking bundle under his
arm. He followed the man, who walked
quickly until he reached the Brandywine
bridge, when he threw the bundle into
the water and started to run. The officer,
however, arrested the man and took him
to the police station, where he is now
confined. The bundle was fished out of
the creek and found to contain set of
harness, complete, with the exception OF
collar and names. 1t is now at the po-

Mrs. Lydia sherman, of Derby, the
poisoper of her three husbands and sew
en- children, escaped last Tuesday night
about ten O'Clock, from the Connecticut
State prison. Mrs. Sherman, who is now
fifty-two years of age, and who has been
an inmate of the prison for four years
and five months, was sentenced for life
having been convicted of murder in the
second degree. Claiming 70 be an inva-
lid, she was granted certain privileges
by the matron, which she has abused by
escaping. She had been gone more than
an hour before her absence was noted,
and so far all efforts to recapture her
have failed.
