aWhen the cats away the mice
win play" they say, snd it is as
true in diplomatic circles as in the
household. Now that Bismark has
been furloughed, the Vatican is ex-
tremely anxious to resume negotia-
tions at once with Germany, to CON-
plete arrangements between Church
and State, and stop the antagonism
of the past few years. The Vatican
knows well that it is not KAISER
William, but Bismark, who has been
their antagonist. They will find,
however, if there is any danger of
their gaining a point which the
Prince does not want them to get,

The march towards specie resump-
ton is going quietly on without
furry of trumpets, which General
Grant lOnged for toward the close of
his administration. Ten millions
more of fractional currency to be ex-
changed for silver is announced, to
be followed by more orders of the
same kind as soon as possible. With
gold quiet at los in New York, and
nominally at par on the Pacific
slope, resumption does not seem i'm
practicable in the near future.

Chief Justice Waite has at length
given his decision in the Centennial
loan case, reversing the Judgment Of
the lower court. Stockholders are
very much disgusted, for they
thought they had a sure thing, but
there's no use now of crying over
split milk. The decision is final.

The Louisiana Commission find it
difficult to proceed to business an
til constitutional Legislature is or
ganlzed, and it seems impossible to
obtain such a Legislature without
concessions from both sides. The
Times correspondent telegraphs that
Nichols has legal quorum in the
Senate, but lacks eight votes of
quorum in the House. 1t is, there
fore. in the power of the two lead
ers to organize, in an hour, a com
plete Legislature from members
about whose title there is no dispute,
but neither side seems disposed to
yield an inch, and this dogged de-
termination to carry things to the
bitter end, is ominous of a state of
things, the results Of which cannot
be contemplated but with alarm 1t
nearly looks as if the presence and
influence of the Presidents commits
sion was likely to be ignored, and
that accute disorders of the body
call for more vigorous treatment,
and instead of the removal Of the
government it may be needed to
preserve peace and prevent blood
shed.
With regard TO South Carolina
the President, has not recognized
either Chamberlain or Hampton,
but he has remanded both to the le-
galIy constituted tribunals of the
State for the adjustment of their
disputed claims. He has assurances
that in this process there shall be no
violation of the peace, and that,
whoever may be declared Governor,
the right of all citizens win be re-
spected and protected without re-
gard to race, color, or previous con-
dition of servitude. Mr.. Chamber
lain, of course, did not need to
make any pledges of this kind. Mr..
Hampton made them fully and vol
unfairly, and those who met him at
Washington, and those who know
HIM, say that he is not only able but
that he will to the fullest extent full
fiji his promises.

He had not slept a wink for twenty-four

and he slept quietly during the night.

WHAT WILL BE WORN.

Light Cheviots, and plain bunting
at fifty cents yard are the popular
choice for suits, taking the place de-
bege and camels-hair, while the thin
wool stuffs knotted and dashed with
gay color in rich, subdued effects,
costing three dollars a yard, are
made into polonaIses above silk
skirts. The high price of silk ga
looms for trimming has brought out
an inexpensive wool galoon brocad-
ed in colors, which is quite as hand
some for ordinary purposes. The
bunting dresses almost put linen out
of thought, as they bear endless
crushing without wrinkles and will
not hold dust, while quite thin
enough for our capricious climate up
to the dog-days. But to be stylish,
a bunting dress needs much rufiing
and drapery. Twenty yards is a
moderate allowance for suit, short,
and showing the trim boot and an
kle, as it is the last caprice to wear
the skirts.

The President and Secretary Sher-
man are congratulating themselves
on the success of our four and a-half
per cent. loan bonds in Europe. and
well they may. They were rapidly
taken up, even during the turmoil of
the winters desperate struggle of
parties for the Presidency, and now
that complete confidence is restored
under the administration of Presi-
dent Hayes, they could be disposed
faster than they can be prepared.
The Presidents financial policy has
not yet been entirely settled.

the port of New York alone on SAT

The Canada took one-hundred and
sixty head of live beef cattle, fifty
six thousand bushels of corn, and
fifty barrels of American oysters.
Never before did so large a ship

Governor Vance, of North Caroli-
ma, don't advance rapidly, POLITICAL
ly, but refuses to be placated, COM
forted or reconciled. The situation
disturbs his peace, and the memory
of the ''lost cause" continues to
haunt him. He Obstiuately refuses
to admit that any good can come out
of Republican administration and
advises his Democratic fellow citi.
zens to refuse to be amiable; to saw
agsly grit their teeth and persever-
ingly swear eternal hostility to
every species of peace policy sug
gested by President Hayes. He is
a petrifed old Bourbon, neither or

A careful figuring up only makes
the next House Democratic by
twelve majority. This will prevent
much of the turbulency witnessed
by the last House, for there will be
found enough reasonable men to
unite with the Republicans when
any effort is made to foster improper
political legislation.

CRIME.

There is an epidemic of crime,
which has taken, this week, more
than usually horrible features. A
frail woman, an inmate of fashion
able house of ill-fame uptown, was
visited by an unknown man one ev-
ening last week. What transpired
in the room will never be known.
The man rushed out, and was lost in
the darkness,-a moment later the
woman appeared at the head of the
stairs enveloped in flames. She was
dressed for the evening in rich robes
of combustable material, and the
flames had completely enveloped
her. She had just time to exclaim.
"He set me afre with a MATCH" and
fell, and before relief could reach
her was burned to death. The man
has not been found. Then this was
followed by another mystery. One
of the oldest and richest firms in the
city is that ofthe Jewetts, lead man.
utacturers. The junior member is
a nephew of the senior, and is a pc
culiarly excitable man, so much so
that it was deemed advisable by his
partners to buy him out, and the pa
pers necessary had been drawn.
Thursday morning, an explosion was
heard in the private Office, and the
room was discovered to be on fire.
The employees of the house rushed
to the room and found the senior
dead, the junior mortally wounded,
and the other member badly wound
ed and UNCONSCIOUS. There were
revolvers and knives on the floor,
and the fragments of a hand gre
made, which had doubtless exploded,
killed the two and wounded the 9th
er. 1t is all mystery, for the only
living man of the three is unable to
speak. Doubtless young Jewett, the

member of the firm. Two such sin

week.
