A clergyman travelling in the mountains
of West Virginia put up for the night at the
house of pious old lady, who never refused
to entertain strangers, lest haply an angel
might be turned from her door unawares.
Shortly after his arrival supper was an
nounced, and the old lady, after blessing
had been invoked, began to rattle the cups
and erspreparatery tothe matronlyaere-
mony of pouring out and handing around
the hot coffee. 1t was customary to make
the inquiry and therefore the good dame,
with gracious smile inquired of her
guest:
"Do you take sugar in yourn?"
eff you please" replied the hungry
and thirsty evangelist, ''and I'll be obliged
if you make it tolerably sweet"
The old lady began to twist in her chair,
adjust her spectacles, and look searchingly
around the table. She dipped the spoon
desperately in the blue china sugar-bowl,g
but it ratified ominously against the sides
of the empty vessel At h t she summoned
courage TO tell the truth. With admirable
pluck and candor she opened her mouth
and spake, and the words that reached the
ear of her guest were these:

THE Boston Traveller hasn't much re-
epect for "the men who call themselves
Republicans, and indulge in unpleasant
remarks about Gen. Grant" but it doesn't
think thing can be too mean to say
about President Hayes. This shows a
broad difference between Republicanism
in Massachusetts, and Ohio. And yet,
Massachusetts, did not manifest much
Grantism at the last National Conven-
ton. The men who had the influence of
the administration did not get any
strength from the old Commonwealth,
and an eminent statesman from Boston
in public expressed his doubt of the Re-
publicans carrying Massachusetts if a
ticket were made such as the enthusiastic
Grant men desired. Has Republican,
ism in Massachusetts undergone 50 great
q change, or does not the Traveller fairly
represent it?

apartment house has brought suit against
a city express company for the value of a
valise left in the open hall on the first
floor, which valise was stolen before 1t
came into the possession of the consignee
or owner The agent of the company
having the delivery of the valise refused
to carry it up to the apartment occupied
by the owner or even to send 1t up on
the elevator. The latter refused to re-
ceive it anywhere else than at his place
of residence, which he alleged was no
more on the first floor than it was in the
adjoining block. The expressman there
upon left it in the hallway and it was
stolen. The owner claims that the COM
pany is responsible and has appealed to
the courts. 1t can hardly be doubted
that the courts will sustain the claim
ant. Express companies must be gov
erned by the present conditions of life.
If they take goods to be delivered at the
consignee's residence or place of business
they must see that their agents or en-
ployes use due diligence in performing
the trust,

IT is all natural enough that England
should take pride in her hereditary no.
bility, and preserve the semblance of
feudal glory as a national heirloom, but
her true strength lies in her manufac-
turing and mercantile interests. With
this she is able to buy many islands like
Cyprus, and secure the protectorate of
half the globe by liberal money advances
to insolvent Khediyes and Pashas. The
increase of wealth in Great Britain dur
ing the past twelve years, as indicated
by the returns of taxable incomes, is
over 9465, 900, 900 or 50, ,325, 100000. Dur
ing this period also there has been con
siderable extension of exemptions and
abatements in the income tax-list, so that
the actual increase is considerably greater
than indicated by the above figures.

supporters.

New YORK, Oct. 3O.-The Prophetic Con-
ference, composed of leading clergymen Of
the Protestant Episcopal Church, assembled
in the Church OF the Holy Trinity to-day to
discuss the pre-millennial advent of Jesus
Christ. Mr. VIM. Reynolds, of Peoria, pro-
sided.
Dr. Gordon of Boston, read the call and
said it was prepared by believers who gath
cred annually for Bible study. Their object
was not controversy or to make issues but to
set forth the truth and commend it to those
who do not believe it.
Rev. II. N. Burton, Of Kalamazoo, offered
prayer. He asked that truth might prevail
and triumph, and that we should look anx-
fOusly for and love the appearance OF the
Lord Jesus and be faithful until He should
come

RY WHOSE AUTHORITY ?


New ORLEANS, October 30, 1878.
To the Editor of the Democrat:
At the inception OF the movement the Citizens
Conservative Association announced their pur-
poee 10 take measures 10 influence the Ueno-
cratic nominations. and upon this repres enta~
tion q large number OF oar prominent business
men were induced to sign their circular.
At the primary elections they had no ticket
out, [ believe, excepting In the twelfth ward.
and have. therefore. utterly failed In promise
and purpose, excepting that indirectly they did
possibly Influence q better ticket on the whole
than would have como out Of the Democratic
convention had not the Citizens Conservative
circular been Issued.
The question wish to ask at the moment is
simply this: By what authority does the Citi-
zens' Conservative Asa ociAtinn committee act at
this time? Has anybody authorized them to 20
beyond the first simple step Of Influencing the
Democratic nOmt nations and II they have been
30 authorized, when and where?
Certainly MT bythose who signed the original
circular, for the reason that many Of those gem
tIemen are absent from the city and know
nothing OF the proceedings Of the committee;
and certainly tE era has been no ratification of
heir proceedings by any one but themselves.
Now, gentlemen Of the committee, come for
ward and give an account Of yourselves r. You
represent a party, OF whom is it composed?
And II you choose to style Yourselves simply an
association, tell Us who are they TINT approve
your acts3 co sHERVATIVE.

Sr, PAUL, Mimi, Oct. 3O.-The carpet house
of John Mathees and the fur store OF Al
brecht Brothers were entered early this morn
Ing by burglars. At the carpet store the bur
eylnr was confronted by an unarmed watch
man, when he presented q pistol and bar
gained for an uudisturbed retreat Ihe 1ur
store burglar was arrested with part OF his
booty and the rest was recovered from q
pawn shop. He gave his name as George
Freeman, from Chicago, and was held Tor
trial subsequently he was recogniz a as
wanted in Chicago In connection with the
burglary which resulted in the murder of OIL
Ger z ace. and confessed that he was the man.
Further developments regarding the opera
tions of Chas. Etheridge, abscOndng loan
agent, show that he obtained $4,000 from the
Merchants National Bank. This bank
and others formerly had been in the
habit of advancing money to Ether
idge: frequently his drafts, for as
much as $4,000, have been cashed. In
this instance he Is understood to have pre-
sented with his draft either Il forged express
receipt or genuine geceipt for bogus pack
age representing the usual receipts. Ihe
bank issued in exchange for his draft It's Ger
titled check for $40 900, which he disposed Of IN
Minneapolis, and $4,000 at Milwaukee,. 1t IS
understand that the bank could carry much
heavier losses. .Etheridge also obtained SIo-
900 from the Second National Bank: With
what debts he paid and the property left be-
mind his profits from the swindle will not be
more than $4,000 1t is believed he used
$4,000 or $4,000 belonging to companies he rep
resented. How he paid 80 much on account
and remtted to the New York companies Is
unexplained, except that until the last mo
9nent he had planned to safely conceal his
defaIcatiOn and retain his position.

DUBLIN, Oct, 30.-The obsequies Of Cardinal
Cullen took place yesterday in the cathedral
on Marlborough street, and were Of q very
imposing character The solemnties were
almost such as are seen in Rome itself on
similar occasions. The notices and inscrp-
tions were suggestive 1t was intended that
the interment should take place at 10 O'Clock
last night in strict privacy at the Church OF
the Holy Cross, attached to the beautiful
seminary Cloniffe, which was erected out of
the cardinal s owu savings, and Dedicated two
years ago by the late Cardinal Francis during
his visit to Ireland. The Catholic people,
however, were too much afflicted to allow OF
this, and the whole nelghborho,d Of the
cathedral was crowded. The vault is OF plain
brick, without ornament, and the cardinal
himself had it made. The last prayer was

GLASGOW, Oct. 3O.-The directors and Off
cials of the suspended Bank of Glasgow were
to-day formally arraigned in court on the
charge of fraud and theft. They were subse
quently committed without bail to await their
trial. The attendance in court was very
large, many Of the unfortunate shareholders
of the bank being present with their counsel
to watch the proceedings: The prisoners all
looked broken down, while the majority OF

secretary.
The prisoners were represented by the
abIest lawyers to be found in Scotland. The
general impression is that all Of them run a
fair chance of being sent to prison for a long
term of years. A certain amount of sym
pathy exists for Potter, who although he may
be one Of the chief rogues, is still a very old
and decrepit man.
The Scotch law, which claims to be based on
the Roman law, abounds in queer terms, rs
was evnced in court to-day Tt was stated
that the prisoners intend to take advantage
OF the provision entitled running through

days after the day OF their committal.

release of Mr.. Stewart, of Edinburgh, one OF

Impeachment of the Hungarian Ministry
i Demanded.

LONDON, Oct. 3O.-A dispatch from Buda-
Pesth states that the discomfort which has
been fomenting in the ranks OF the Extreme
Left in the lower house OF the Hungarian
Delegations has now eliminated in formal
demand for the impeachment of the Hunga-
rian Ministry Some days ago q Cabinet
council was held at Buda-Pesth, at which the
common Ministers Of War and Finance as
we'll as some Of the other Austrian Minis
ters met their Hungarian colleagues. The
great question was to fix the estimates for
military, naval and foreign expenses for 1879,
and to agree upon the method OF covering the
extraordinary expenditures Of the present
year, caused by the occupation of Bosnia and
Herzegovina. The council came to an agree
ment, and upon the meeting of the delega-
tions, as the assembly is called the Hunga-
rian ministers announced it, The terms were
highly Objectionable to the Left, who have
long been anxious for q change Of ministry,
and they have now demanded the impeach-
ment on the ground that the agreements con-
tain provisions that violate the Hungarian
constitution.
