HOW THEY MET.
Rev. DIR. Tiffany's Visit to West
minister Abbey.

A little story is told i'll connection
with Dean SANKEY'S recent visit to
America, which may account to GER
tain extent ior the reception which was
rendered tothe Dean at st. Paufs Meth
ndist Episcopal Church, of which Rev
Dr. q. H. Tiffany is pastor. II Is said
that when DR.. Tiffany was in England,
some time ago, while he was pastor OF
the Metropolitan church, in Washing
ton. which church General Grant at
tended hc visited Westminster Abbey
one Sabbath. The Abbey was crowded,
and DIR. Tiffany was refused admittance
bv one OF the vcrgers. 81 would like
very much to be admitted" said the
reverend gentleman. Il am all Amer
lean CLERGYMAN II am sorry, sir,
was the ycrgcr's reply, "but ! cannot
admit you, for the place is full" "Here
is my card" said DIR. Tiffany, handing
him card bearing his name, and tho
legend, "Chaplain to the President of
the United States" The verger looked
at the card moment, and then, with u
low bow, asked the Doctor to follow
him. DR. Tiffany was taken To one OF
the stalls near the seats occupied by
the choris,crs, and seated beside cleri-
cal-looking gentleman, who the DIR. inn
mcdiatclv concluded was clergyman.
During the exercises preceding the ser
mon oi the day, DR.. Tiffany entered into
conversation with his neighbor, and IL
nally handed him his card. What was
his surprise, moment later to see the
gentleman arise, march up to the
preaching desk, and proceed to deliver
the sermon DR.. Tiffany had been con
vcrsing with the Dean of Westminster.
The moment the Dean was at liberty af-
ter the sermon the Doctor apologized for
hi. intrusion, to which the Dean replied
by inviting him to lunch. In this way
began the acquaintance between Dean
STANLEY and Dr. Tiffany, which I'M
doubtedly had good deal to do with
the Deans recent reception in DIR. Ill
fanv's Church.

DRUMMING UP SAILORS.

Several days since United States Shipping
Commissioner Wright caused the arrest Of
person named Oliver Canton. charging him
with violation Of the United States law prohib-
iting. In substance. the system of brokerage in
securing employment for seamen.
Canton, 1t seems had charged several sailors
IS each for securing their positions, 81 for cash
ing their due bills-made for 500 each-and 81
for taking their clothing from their boarding
house to the ship. making IS for each one out Of
the $40 he would receive in advance on his due
bill. When the case came up for trial Canton
was sent before the United States Circuit Court
under a bond of $4,000 for his appearance. the
bond being given: but as the ship was to have
sailed las night 1t Is moro than likely there will
be no witnesses for the prosecution when the
case comes to trial,
Commissioner Wright states that this is the
first case Of the kind that his attention has
been called to for some time. and that he shall
use every means in his power to protect the
seamen and break 10 any system Of brokerage
of the kind that may be inaugurated. He stated
further that when the crew of the ship in ques-
ton was mustered before going to sea, he
should require that each Of the seamen who
had been subjected to the brokerage should be
settled with In full. else he would reject them
and compel the filling of their places. The steps
| taken by Capt Wright In this instance are to
| carry out the law aud prevent the Inauguration
of the brokerage sailor-drumminR system
which he will do, and In doing so will have the
support of the entire marine community.

Their BENEFIT.
With some feelings of qualification at the fact
that our city press is at last awakening to the
necessity OF doing something more for the in
mates Of our city insane asylnms than merely
affordIng them shelter and ordinary food, we
asked the Mayor yesterday whether any action
had been taken or was contemplated by the City
Council with view to amelIorafe the condition
that the continued failure Of the Legislature to
provide for ample means to conduct the state
Insane Asylum at Jackson. had caused him to
inquire Of the Sisters of Mercy. OF the
Louisiana Retreat. IL they could take charge
Of the inmates Of the city asylum. -, The r,
ings of the Retreat were not sufficient, to
accommodate any more inmates. Since that
time new buildings have been erected by the
Sisters, who. when sked what their terms
would be, stipulated a figure In excess Of that
which Is appropriated for the city asylum; that
at this period Of the year. after the appropria-
| tions for the different departments have been
made, 1t will require some consideration and
