Archbishop Bayley's Romance.

The death of the distinguished Cath
Ole Archbishop of Baltimore, says the
New York Graphic, recalls to the men,
DRY OF some of those who remember him
in his youth the romance of his early
life. When he decided to leave the
Episcopal ministry, for which he had
been trained, and study for the priest
hood, he made sacrifices that few men
are called upon to endure. He gave up
at once not only his social position, but
the great fortune which his uncle, Mr..
James Roosevelt, after whom he was
named, intended to bequeath him, and,
worst OF all to some hearts, he renounc-
ed the woman whom he loved. ea.1-.s-
One of the most famous bellies that
New England ever produced was Miss
Julia Beers, a daughter of Judge Beers,
OF Litchfield, Conn. During the first so
years of this century the law-school of
Litchfield was considered the most dis
tinguished institution of the kind in the
country 1t drew to this bleak New
England village the young men of the
best families throughout the country,
and one of its most honored teachers
was Judge Beers. His daughter was a
beautiful blonde of the rarest type, with
waving hair of pale gold, large blue eyes,
and figure remarkable for its tall and
slender grace. Added to these natural
gifts, she possessed also fine voice Of
remarkable power and compass, which
she constantly improved by training,
while her fine natural powers l0f
mind were cultivated by every adj
vantage of education, so that at
70 she was a woman of rare and re-
markable fascination. At this time,
during summer pleasure trip, she met
the young Episcopal clergyman, and the
two became engaged The Rev. MI.
Bayley was, at this period, a strikingly
handsome man, possessing qualities Of
heart and mind sure to endear him to
those with whom he was brought in
contact. They were, indeed "a remarkable
man and woman who met in that long
past summer, and she, who had been in
different to a hundred adorers, listened
with pleasure to the addresses of a man
who felt that until now he had never
met a fitting mate. But, powerful as
love might be in an organization like
his, the honesty of religious conviction
was still dearer to the heart of the
young clergyman, and after his trans
terence to Hagerstown, Md, where he
met the present Cardinal McCIoskev.
Mr.. Bayley resolved to become Catho-

lie priest. This decision was death
blow to Miss Beers. She herself, per-
suaded by her love, embraced the faith
Of the Church of Rome, and for while
took refuge in convent. This depart
ure of one of society's ornaments to the
gloom of cloister produced great
sensation among the fashionable circles
of that day, and when, after a brief peri
cd, she, under circumstances of pecu-
liar romance, fled from the convent and
returned to her friends, all sorts of spec
ulations were afioat. For few years
she led life of retirement at her home
in Litchtield, and then fell victim to
consumption and perhaps to a broken
heart.

Good Manners.

The essence of good manners is kind
thoughtfulness of others. The man who
goes to his room in hotel stamping and
talking through the corridor, slamming
his door, and flinging his boots down
heavily upon the floor, is merely brutal
ly selfish. He is not aware that he owes
duties to other people who will be affect
ed by his conduct He does not think
that he rudely awakens some one to
whom sleep is indispensable, and whom
he has no right to disturb. Haydon's
picture of The man in the chop-hOuse
waiting for the Times, which his neigh
Dor has held for an hour, and is evident
ly bent upon holding until he has read
all the advertisements, is an illustration
of this common selfishness. The talk
and conduct in the cars are generally
signs of vanity or morbid self
consciousness. A well bred man keeps
his toothaches and headaches to him
self, and does not assume that strangss
ers are interested in his digestion.
"A well bred woman keeps her children
quiet, and does not assume that all her
fellow-travelers must share her fond
ness for them. If Mrs. P, with her
vivid sense of Mr.. P.'s peculiarities and
of her fine house and equipage, could
only once know how supremely unim-
portant any individual is, how well the
world Jared before Mr.. p. arrived, and
how unshocked the universe will be by
his departure, she would be modest
and well hammered woman. That
knowledge, indeed, would be a general
corrective of manners. A certain kind
of personal conceit often accompanies
undeniable superiority. There are men,
like Lord Chatham, who like to have
their going and coming regarded as
events, to move with a pompous hustle,
and to be constantly regarded as great
men. But if they could only know it,
that-very taste is constantly accounted
to them for weakness, and their influ-
ence is just as far lessened.

small box, SO light that child could
lift If with the finrers

lift it with the fingers.
And now came their establishment.
This box suddenly became so heavy
that the strongest man could not raise
it, and the Arabs, who prize physical
strength above every thing, looked with
terror upon the magician, who, they
doubted not, could annihilate them by
the mere exertion of his will.
The people expressed this belief, in
which the wizard, of course, confirmed
them, and promised that, at a day ap-
pointed, he would convert one OF them
into smoke. The day came and the
throng was prodigious. A Fanatical
Marabout had agreed to give himself up
to the French sorcerer for the expert
ment.
The preparations were on grand
scale. The Marabout was made to
stand upon a table, and was covered
with transparent gauze. Then Houdin
and another person lifted the table by
the ends, when the Arab disappeared in
a profuse cloud of smoke. The terror
of the spectators was indescribable.
They rushed out of the place and ran a
long distance, before the boldest could
make up their minds to return and look
for the Marabout. They found him
near the spot where he had so mysteri-
ously disappeared, but he could not an
swer their questions; he could tell them
nothing at all, and only gazed wildly at
them like one bereft of his senses. He
was entirely ignorant of what had hap
pened to him
This was Houdin's closing exhibition
in Arabia. The minds of the people
had been filled with wonder, and he was
venerated by all, while the pretentious
Marabouts were in utter disgrace

Tubular Freight Cars.

Among the latest improvements in
railway rolling stock may be mentioned
the iron freight cars, turned out by the
National Tube Works Company Of Me-
keesport, Pa, two specimens of which,
flat and box car, are now on the Bos-
ton and Albany Railroad tracks, corner
OF Harvard and Utica Streets. The
framework of the freight car is made Of
wrought iron pipes and steel rods and
covered with sheet-iron, no rivets being
used. 1t is put together without nuts,
bolts, mortises or tendons, and it is
claimed that every part ~ceatains the
whole strengthen the naatemsl used -no
part being cut or weakened. The claim
is made by the builders that not only is
there saving by their wrought-iron
cars of at least Is per cent. in dead
weight over ordinary wooden freight
cars, but the capacity for carrying
heavy freight is increased at least so
per cent. In the matter of repairs, it is
also claimed that the scost will not be
-one-fourth of that of wooden cars. An
other obvious advantage IS that these
iron cars are practically re-proof, and
will last very much longer than wooden
cars. 1t is evident they will never tel
eseope like ordinary freight cars. The
cars on exhibition are worth a visit by
all Interested ina the subject Of trans,
portation.

Startling Discovery Of Another Dynamite
Life Dsstroysr-Ths Cartridges Found In q
cAsk OF Wtns In the New York Appraisers
Store.
tBy Telegraph to the National Republican,
NEW York, April 10.--A good deal Of ex-
citement was caused to-day at the appraisers
store, corner Of Laight and West streets, by
ths discovery I'm q cask Of wine OF q large tin
boz filed with dynamite cartridges, which
were attached to wires and surrounded with
gutta percha fuses. The cask was ono Of the
cargo from the steamer Frisis, which was
brought with number OF others to the ap-
praiser's store. The cask was inyoiced as
thirty litres OF wine, and 10 supposed to to
nom Hamburg. II was addressed to q per-
son In Huntingdon, Illinois.
II Ia thought to be toolhardy attempt of
some person to ship dynamite TO this port, the
party knowing that " the proprietors OF the
vessel were aware Of the compound II Il were
invoiced, they would not receive IL. Had the
eask fallen when being hoisted out of the
hold on to the deck, another Bremerhaven
disaster might have occurred, aud had al exl
plosion occurred In the appra!ssr's store the
consequences would have been very disas-
trous, as fully four hundred people are en-
ployed there, and there Is property iu the
place valued at 81 SOC, 900. The dangerous
compound was placed in charge Of watch
man In q vacant lot.

rosr oFrrCE DIFFICULTY

The bidders for the New York Mail Messen-
ser aud station Service Are Quarrelipg
over the Award of tho Cont;act-what
tn. Result VIII Probably be.
The Pcst Office Department on Wednesday
had under consideration the proposals for
mail meeeenger and station service for certain
northern ctties, and awarded contracts ac-
cordipgiy. With respect TO the service 10
New York, however, there were but three pro-
Rssals, vtz.; q, r. OTIS, the lowest; 8. n.
Hoyt, the next lowest, and the New York
Transfer Company, (Dodd,) the highest bid
der The first two were informsi 10 one or
two minor particulars, and under the decision
OF the Departments had to be rejected. But
it sppesred that General Brady's decision to
relet the mail messenger service Of New York
dhi rot suit either Mr.. Dodj, Mr.. Ot!s or Mr..
Hoyt. The latter claims that the bid Of Otis
Is Illegal, aud is probably right. which, II SO,
would AXE him the successful bidder.
Dcdd opposes relettiov, because he would
have no chance between Hoyt ard OILS. Hpyt
seems TO have the best case, for the reason
that OTIS bid is Informal and that his (Hoyt's)
bid Ia the next lowest, and is not excessively
high, 90 as to reasonably cause reletting,
and especially when there was no such re.
served right mentioned In the advertisement
OF the Second Assistant Postmaster General.
OTIS now reopens his case before Juige
Spence. Hoyt sayshe will (if decided against
By spence) carry his case to the United States
Attorney General. There can be little or no
doubt that Hoyt will gain the case ultima ately,
as he SEEMS to have the Law aud right on his
side. Judge Spence's decisions aru often
little-just q little-queer. It 10 this real In
terest Of the Governments to do justice, act
legally and get the mails carried for the
smallest sum that they can be carried for.
The Department has also decided 10 re-
sdyertife for proposals for the station service
In Philadelphia, the wagons described In. the
former advertisement having been found un-
suitable for the service required. The pew
proposals will, therefore, be for the service
With different style Of wagon. The time
will probably be extended from the 1st OF July
10 the LIST Of September, when the service is
to be commenced.

TINE TREASURY SERVICE.

What Assisssnt Secretary Mccormick Says
About MISUNDERSTANDING sherman
Means 10 Stand BY ths Law Regarding
Appointments.
Assistant Secretary Mccormick says that
the statements 50 often published In the news
papers that the Treasury Department Is about
to undergo thorough reorganization, Is in-
correct. He thinks the report probably origi
mated from the fact that four gentlemen were
appointed o committee some time since by
SECRETARY Sherman TO examine into the force
employed In the Treasury, and report whether
the work can be done by any less number than
st present employed. The committee are now
occupied with the Bureau Of Engraving and
Printing. They have already reported respect
ing that Office, and In about one week great
reduction will to made--probably two hun.
dred and fry.
Fer the benefit Of those seeking positions
In the Treasury Department, IL may be stated
that Secretary Sherman says that In making
appoint ments hereafter to vacancies I'm his
Department he shall be guided by that clause
In the law which provides that '.ou aud after
january, 1876, the appointments to this De-
partment shall be so arranged as to be equally
distributed between the several States Of the
United States, Territories and the District Of
Columbia, according to population" Act
approved March 8, 1875. Under the operation
OF this law no more appointments will be
New York, New Jersey, PennsylvsnIa, Della
ware, Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia,
OHIO or the District OF Columbia. The Secre-
tAry will not swerve from his purpose In this
respect. Another point that will hereafter be
insifted upon is that not more than one of .
family shAll be appointed in the same Depart
