II was in one sense, fortunate for Mr.. Cor
nell that his letter of acceptance should APP
pear 50 close upon the heels of Governor Rob-
inson's letter. The modest yet dignifed tone
of the Republican candidate VIII make the
stronger impression upon the public when con-
trasted with the strange egOtism Of the Gov
cnor. Mr. Cornells letter will make votes.
Il viii make him friends in that section of the
party which opposed his nomination, by IT'S
manliness and the directness and vigor
with which il discusses live issues. Gov
oruor Rohinson's letter was simply n
laboricus attempt to galvanize the corpse of
the Tilden Reforms" The canal officials,
great and small, worked like beavers to Sc
cure the denomination of the Governor, who
calmly continues TO discourse. nevertheless, OF
canal reform. The prison officials were hard
at il. too but still the Governors song Is OF
prison reform. There was scarcely word in
his letter on any existing question. The whole
was an attempt Mt self GlOriiicatiOn and self
election. Now the past, as was once remarked
on a famous occasion, is secure in government
and politics it is the future which is of most
importance. And ii is 70 the future that Mr..
Cornell addresses himself. The taXpaying
citizen is asking what is to be done with this
most pressing question of the inequality OF
taxation what is to be done with that other
most pressing question. the overgrown power
of the corporations and the determinations of
the railroads. The farmers, merchants and tax
payers who turn to Governor Robinson's
letter to know his views upon these problems
find only complacent enumeration Of
his votoes and a long argument why he
should be continued in Office. Mr.. Cornelrs
letter viii show them that the Republican
party has taken hold Of these issues III ear
nest, and without stopping to reclaim the
credit for reforms achieved which belongs to
it, and which the Democracy has tried to
steal, proposes TO go on with the good work.
Therefore we say that Mr.. Cornelrs lettor Will
make votes.

Senator Lamar has determined, it Is said, to

characteristic illumination of the Yazoo plan
that has vet been made A citizen OF Missis-
sippi declares that il will not be safe. even
for Senator Lamar. to denounce the fazoo
plan before the people of that community.
There could be no better proof of the Unborn

The presence of Prince Bismarck at Vienna
and the language Of the German and Austrian
press render it certain that he Is about to ar
range formally the terms of the alliance
which has recently caused so much feverish
anxiety in Europe. According to the Ger

shield Austria from Russian aggression,
while it protects Germany from the pos

Of one of Mr. Cornel's rivals ill the Saratoga
Convention repeats the good report which
comes from all sections of the State-that the
Republican party is thoroughly united. Con-
gresham Hiscock himself declares that Mr.. Cor

SELF CRuELTEEs I'M A NUNNERY
Montreal Letter.

Iclttr
A subject of conversation here is
the leaking out of certain facts coil-
nected with the establishment of Car
melite nuns at Hochelaga There has
been a little CarIneite colony in our
ancient suburb for several years, but
no one has ever heard of them. These
nuns are subjected to the severest dis
cipline of all the orders They wear
but one garment summer aud winter,
coarse serge gown reaching to the
feet, with hood almost completely
covering the face. Their feet are
shod with sandals, and they are not
permitted to wear hosiery. AS spe-
cial favor, they have been allowed in
our severe Winters, to wrap pieces of
serge around their feet and ankles.
They never touch meat, poultry, fish,
butter or eggs, and eat only one meal
a day of bread and boiled vegetables.
Their couches are bare planks with a
square block of wood Tor pillow,
and they sleep without other covering
than their daily dress. Their doors
are jealously closed, even to women,
the priest or the doctor. They pass
their lives in silence, even their prayers
being said under their breath. Their
singing of the church service is con-
Quoted in a whispered monotone.
Such acceptance OF the vows of power
ty, chastity and obedience has proved
regimen too severe for the constitu
tion of the ladies, aud several of them
have died. Others are at the point of
death, yet the Lady Superior aud the
nuns themselves steadily refuse to
make any change in their metl cd OF
living, declaring that it is all in Gods
hands.

machines, given under the auspices Of
The Western Electric Light Company
last evening, was witnessed by large
number Of interested spectators. A
Siemens candle with reflector was
placed outside of the third story of the
building. No. 412 Market street, and
distinctly lighted UP the front of the
Palace Hotel-that distance being as
far as the focus Of tue light would
permit it to be thrown. The Siemens
machine was used for generating the
electricity, and the light was brilliant

away These lights were each one
equivalent to 1000 candles, and tile
generalii e machine was driven by a
small engine, six-horse power, sta
toned at 4l2 Market street The
lights were all equally steady and
hardly flicker was perceptible, al
though complete steaiiness has never
been claimed for The Jablochkoff.
What is considered the finest light,
the Werdemann, was next chosen.
AS the candles which were ordered
from The East some time since have
not yet arrived, NJ S Latham, who is
President of the company, expressed
regret that he was not able to exhibit
the Werdcmann, as he considered il
on many accounts the nearest to per
