GREAT BRITAIN.

LONDON, Doc. 23.-The returns
of the Union Workhouse in the
east of London are beginning to
show the existence of widespread
poverty and distress in that part of
the city. The applicants for relief
are so numerous that the house &C
commodation is inadequate. At
Shordich Workhouse the infrmary is
full, and also the workhouse itself,
and extra room must be provided.
At Bethnal Green Workhouse
there are 1859 inmates and 382 in
the infrmary. In Hackney
there are 1,416 indoor poor,
chargeable to the "Union." The
visitation of the district
visitors discloses a vast amount of
distress and the charitable funds at
their disposal are utterly insufficient.
This is especially the case at Pop
lar and Mill Wall, where thousands
of dock and other laborers are
thrown out of employment. Spital-
fields, Lime House, South Hackney,
Shadwell and Haggerston are
severely feeling the acuteness of
the winter, and the tradesmen of the
entire eastern districts of the me-
tropolis are crying out about the
badness of the trade, and even
Christmas wares are heavy doing In
the market. So severe is the dis
tress in Haggerston that
committee will be formed for the
relief of cases of extreme necessity,
but it will be greatly crippled
through want of funds.
The weather is severe throughout
Great Britain. There has also
been a heavy snow fall here and
in many parts of the continent. In
Scotland it is especially severe, and
all railways in the north are blocked.
Two London mail trains were, at
last accounts, showed up ten or
twelve miles from Aberdeen. Alto
gether, seven trains are showed up,
and traffic is suspended. The snow
was still falling last night, and in
some places it is over twelve feet
high. 1t is the heaviest snow fall
in thirty years.

The Presbyterian Church has a
warm place in its heart for the dis
tinguished and noble family so con-
spicuously represented on this con-
tinent by the Marquis Of Lorne,
Governor General of Canada. It
has been the lot of but few men in
history to be welded to a princess
SO noble, so pure, as the daughter
of the renowned Queen of England,
the Christian woman and mother,
but greater still is his lot that his
intrinsic merits entitle him to his
position. The father, the Duke Of
Argyll, George John Douglass
Campbell, is only fifty six years of
age, and is the author Of several
works on law. He is an elder Of
the Presbyterian Church, and has
written two works on church guess
tions which are authorities, one
styled "Presbytery Examined, J"
and one the "Son of Peer to his
Peer" The Marquis of Lorne has
prepared a translation of the Psalms.
The family name is Campbell. 1t
is said that Gen. William Campbell,
who fell when commanding our
troops in the Revolutionary War,
at Eutaw Springs, S. c., and ex~
claimed as he died, when informed
of the defeat of the enemy, ''I die
contented," and was born in Vir-
ginia, 1745, was the nephew of the
then Duke. Gen. William Camp
bell left one daughter, who after
ward married Gen. Francis Preston,
of Virginia. She was the mother
of Mrs. Gov. James Mcdowell,
Mrs. Gov. John 3. Floyd, Mrs.
Gen. Ed. Darlington, Mrs. Rev.
DR.. Robert J: Breckenridge, Mrs.
Gov. Wade Hampton. Hon. Senator
W. c. Preston, Hon. John S. Pres
ton, and Thomas Preston. A can
dlestick cut from the West Tennes-
see marble, used by Gen. Campbell
in his tent life, is in possession of
one of the proprietors of this pa
per.

CINCINNATI, Dec. 23.-The ven.
cradle Archbishop Purcell, who has
been in charge of the Catholic in
terests in this city for many years,
announced to the Cathedral congre-
cation yesterday that he had writ
ten to the Pope asking to be reliev-
ed on account of infrmities of old
age. In his remarks he alluded to
financial. matters, and evidently
convinced his hearers that no fears
need to be felt as to investments
made through him, as they were
secure and would be returned in due
time.

A cOuntryman stepped into The
County Court Clerks Office Saturday
and after sitting around short time
stated that be had marriage license,
which be wished to return. Deputy
Clerk Tom Jones, discovering that the
certificate of the one performing the
ceremony, ETC., was not filled out in
proper form, inquired the reason, re-
ceiving q reply, after some hesitation,
that the lady mentioned had gone
back on the fellow and concluded not
to marry him, consequently they were
of no service, and he was reQu sted to
bring them back.
They:Were taken back, but after still
sitting around the fire for awhile, with
an anxious expression on his counte-
nance, the countryman spoke up, cay
ing he wished another license for the
same man and different woman. The
blank was filled out, and Deputy Jones
asked him if he could write. He re-
piled in the affirmative, and was told
to sign the party's name, with himself
as security. He hesitated and stam-
mered in a confused manner for a
while, but finally managed to say that,
to tell the fact, he was the man who
wanted the license himself, but he
didn't want to acknowledge it.
He stuck his fist tremblingly to the
instrument and a friend standing by
was procured as his security, and he
went on rejoicing, saying that he was
going to marry this last woman just
to spite the other one, for whom the
first license was taken out.

G.. w. A. Jackson, a brakeman on
the Alabama and Great Southern
Railroad, was run over at Chattanoo-
ga last Saturday morning and killed
outright. He was managing the
switches so a. to get his train out on
the main track, and was standing on
another track, when the switch en-
CINE of the Nashville and Chattanooga
Road backed down on him before he
knew it, there being dense fog from
the escaping steam. He was knocked
across the track and the engine ran
entirely over him, mangling him in q
horrible manner. He leaves young

departed this life December 18th, 1878,

home circle that can not be filed. She
leaves behind a devoted husband to
mourn her loss, besides large circle
of relations and friends. Deceased

The enlinentaud extensively known
tragedisn, Lawrence Barrett, viii
open the Amusement season in Knox
willie to- night by his wonderful aDC
Incompatible impersonation of the
character ofCardinal Richelieu. From
all indications we think we can safely
cay that he will be greeted and heartily
welcomed by as large, enthusias-
tic and sppreciative audience as ever
assembled in the Opera House.
He played clear" in Atlanta Satur-
day night and Richelieu in Chatta-
nooga last night. The Constitution
is highly complimentary in its notice
of him, and in the same connection
gives him the following merited
tribute:
In the portrayal of aged characters
Barrett has q power which is truly re-
markable. His "Richeliea" stands
unrivaled by living actors. In his
LEAR" he carries much of the same
royalty of power. His rich, perfectly
trained voice is never used to better
advantage than in this play.
He is ripening into those graces
which his rich scholarship is matur-
ing to perfection. AS a man who loves
his profession and strives in all things
to honor and uphold it, we may pre-
dict for him secure position as an
ornament which may be pl Ged with
pride among the too few jewels of the
American stage. It is but justice to
speak of the growing strength of Mr..
John A. Lane, Barrett's leading sup
port. He has appeared here season
after season, and always with q great
displayed in his acting.
He has an enviable possibility before
him.

a community which is fifty described
in that way may have occasionally
been wrong or faulty in political ac-
tion, to such an extent as to mIslead a
people lately in arms against them
about a very serious matter as to real
temper aud purposes of their better

The United states Signal Service,


Gradually, the wild and ungovern-
able forces of natule are, through sci
enca, made of use to man. Following
in the wake of the ingenious inven-
tiOns for the use of steam and cleo
tricity, comes the organization Of the
L. S Signal Service. Is it not won
derful that a system could be origi-
mated and perfected whereby an oper-
ator can accurately predict the weather
of distant locality? And yet expert
enee proves our +" storm signalsn to be
reliable. Equally great are the ad-
vancts made in the science of medi-
cine. Step by step, uncertainties and
doubts have yielded TO absolute GER
tainty. The discoveries of Harvey
and Jumer have been succeeded by
the Golden Medical Discovery of DIR.
r. V. Pierce. No longer need people
despair because some physician has
pronounced the lungs uL sound. Hun
dreds of testimonials are on file III the
Office of DR.. Pierce from those who
had abandoned all hope, and had been
given up to die by physicians and
friends. Incipient consumption, bron-
chitis, and scIofulOus tInors, speedily,
surely and permanently, yield to the
healing influences of The Discovery.
