The need Of union for worship and
Christian and charitable work Of feeble
churches in rural New England is becom-
ing generally recognized. Christian life
is being fatally neglected in the petty, ig-
noble, debasing rivalry of sects, and sweet
charity is lost in the unholy war Of creeds
and isms. Good men are blinded to the
great central fact that doing now helps
the world on, not antagonistic believing
that there is the common, Christ-lik
ground Of work upon which all sincere
people can meet and cooperate. Can we
not look for some great apostle of church
union who shall break down the barriers
that now divide and dissipate Christian
efforts in the hill and valley towns

About Ballet Girls.

1t Goes appear little mysterious at
first that anywhere in the city fifty girls
can be induced to 90 upon the stage in
the costumes of the ballet, but like the
majority of the stage mysteries, it is
really a common, business-like matter
\ reporter of this paper had converse
ton with Manager Benton recently, and
among other things, extracted a little in
formation on this point. 1t is not always
easy TO secure the required number who
have all the necessary qualifications for q
public appearance, and in fact girls who
have never been on are extremely bash
tll about making their first appearance.
The majority of those who answer the
call are shop girls, girls who take work
to their homes. girls suddenly thrown out
OF employment, and other poor girls who
have no other way of honestly earning a
dollar There are few, perhaps twelve
or fifteen. who have been in the ballet a
number of times before, and they have
come to look at it very much as matter
OF business They work regularly in the
shops, anu when their services are re-
Quired at the Opera House it consumes
only few hours in the evening, and the
pay is very liberal besides the novelty
and excitement, which of course, are
something OF an attraction in themselves.
Occasionally there is a girl with a we'll
rounded form and a spirit of adventure,
who goes into it merely for the fun of the
thing, but they are rare. A good charac-
ter il always demanded by a manager be
fore he will engage Il girl for the ballet,
but occasionally, notwithstanding all his
vigilance, a black sheep viii get into his
flock, though She is generally discovered
before long and fired out with little cere-
monN 1t is to be inferred that consider
able Judgment has to be exercised in the
acceptance of those who aspire to the
costume OF tights and gauze dress, but on
TINS point the manager was singularly
basAtul and uncommunicatiyc. 1t is a
lamentable fact, however, that all ladies
are not plump and symmetrical, and for
those hacking these charms there is no
door ~ The ballet stage Even should
they be engaged, the keen eve OF the bal
Jet master would single them ont at the
first rehearsal, ana nothing could induce
hlir 10 run the risk Of showing a "ccn-
frnn,li fairy" to appear before the audi
cnce. Such embarrassing predicaments
seldom occur though, as i Girl is gcner-
ally pretty wen satisfied that She will pass
Inspection before offering her services.

FLORIDA's POISONED WATERS En-
Planned. The extraordinary phenome-
non displayed on the Florida coast. by
which not only the coast waters, but as
far out as one hundred and fifty miles
into the gulf, nave been rendered 50
poisonous as to Kill the fish and create a
presidential stencil in bays and harbors,
where the floating carcasses collect, should
receive a thorough Investigation. We
have seen no other explanation of the
poisoning than that it came from inland
waters ~ the Everglades prominently
and penetrates the gulf in stratas Of dark
reddish water, which kills all the surface
fish SO soon as it reaches them, and even
far beyond any apparent contact. This
poisonous outflow is stated to have been
nearly fatal to the fish trade between
Florida and Havana, the smacks finding
it almost impossible to select a route in
which the fish in their wells are not de-
stroyed by the poison. From the Macon

In Philadelphia the local express companies
call for and deliver baggage from any OF the
railway stations to any part OF the city for
twenty five cents per piece. In Washington
for like service we have to pay forty cents for a
single piece, or sixty per cent. more than quaker
City rates. As Philadelphia covers more than
double the superficial area Of Washington, the
average distances Of hauling must be very much
greater there than here, so that the profits of
our companies may safely BE- set down at dou-
Die those Of like companies In the first named
place. Isn't this difference against Washing
ton little too large, all things considered?
Under existing circumstances competition
seems to be out Of the question In this particu-
lar line Of business; but, their attention being
thus called to the matter 1t Is possible that the
managers OF our companies might be willing
to make reasonable reduction from their
present excessive charges, just out Of "a decent
respect to the opinions Of mankind" They
would undoubtedly make more money In the
end by so doing.

The time has arrived when charges Of the
connection OF nefarious political schemes Will
be freely banded about. The Washington cor.
respondent OF the Cincinnati Gazette exposes a
subtle plot intended to damage Secretary Sher-
man, 10 which certain democratic county
committees In Ohio and certain disgraeed and
discharged Treasury employees" In Washington
are the chief actors. These discharged en-
ployes, 1t Is stated, put themselves some weeks
since In communication with democratic COM
mittees in various parts OF Ohio, claiming to be
thorough republicans, but willing to contribute
such facts as they could gather In the Treasury
department for the use OF the democratic com.
mittees In Ohio against Sherman, giving as
reason that they desired to do what they could
10 turn Ohio against him as candidate for the
Presidency, because they themselves were pro-
nounced friends and supporters Of Gen Grants
candidacy. The first OF these articles was made
public few days since, consisting of what pre-
tended to be list Of rebels now In Office
and appointed by Secretary Sherman In the
place OF union soldiers. This list is declared to
be altogether erroneous and mostly downright
falsehood. The persons named as confederates
Installed In the Treasury In place Of union men
were, without exception, confederates, VINO
since the war have been active and influential
republicans, and on the other hand those union
soldiers whose places 1t was claimed they had
taken "were without exception, men who had
d1s2raced their positions and were discharged
Tor cause" The assumption Of these men that
they were working for Grant was supposed to
be sk1llful way OF deceivtng Ohio local COM
mittees and inducing them to adopt and give
currency to their fabrications 1t is added that
they appear TO have been quite successful in
palm1ng themselves Off upon the Ohio demo-
Gratis, and In establishing full relations with
these various county politicians. An inter-
copied letter between two OF the schemers pub
lished by the Gazette correspondent seems to
pretty fully establish the fact OF the alleged
plot; which the correspondent characterizes as
.s'base, )" "disreputable" and 'nerarious" &C.

The Situation In California.

The shooting affair In San Francisco puts an
entirely new aspect upon the coming municipal
election there and may effect even the state
election, on the same day. September 8. The
election 10 California Is for an entirely new set
OF officers under the recently adopted const1-
tuition. There are four tickets In the field, the
democrat. republican, workingmen, and new
constitutionlists, or Honorable Bilks," as they
were named by Denis Kearney, and by which
title they are generally known. This latter
party was formed soon after the constitutional
election in May, and its organ is the San Fran
cisco Chronicle whose proprietor De Young
Is just now In danger Of Lynch law for the
shooting Of KallOch. The adoption Of the new
constitution was largely the work of the Chron-
jeJe. On the formation OF the new party an
effort was made to gain the cooperation OF the
workingmen, but Kearney declined the pro-
posal on behalf of his followers for the reason
that they would lose their identity In the ANAL
gamation. From this refusal to join forces
bitter antagonism grew up between the Or
CARNATIONS, or rather their leaders, the
De YouDgs on the one side and the kearneys
and Kallochs ON the other. The kearneyttes
nominated William F. White, an ex-PennSyl-
vapian OF Irish descent, for governor. The re-
pubcans next nominated George C. Perkins, of
San Francisco, for governor. He will make
strong run In the northern and mining counties,
but will not fare so we'll In the agricultural
counties or In the cities amongst the working
men for the reason that he is at the head of the
Pacific Coast Steamship Company, which is
one Of the mOnopolies just now In disfayor In
California. The gubernational candidate OF
the constitutional party, DR.. Hugh j. Glenn, of
C0lusa, democrat, also has much the
same advantages and disadvantages as
nominee. He Is the owner of a farm OF
$4,000 acres In one body In California,
and is the largest wheat producer In the world.
He also pastures 10000 head OF cattle on his
Nevada lands, and naturally is set down as a
'bloated monopOlist." He is also accused OF
nsing labor saving machinery and Cinnamon,
TO large extent, and he comes In for big
share OF the Kearney-KallOch denunciation
BE defends himself by alleging that he never
employs Chinaman when he can get whites
and that he always discr1mlnates against
the Monaghan by giving him only two
thirds the wages he gives the Caucasian.
Glenn has been endorsed by the democrats as
candidate for governor, but with this exception
they run their own ticket. The affair In San
Francisco has greatly damaged Glenn's pros
poets, and will, In the opinion Of some we'll In
formed politicians on the Pacific side, give the
state to Perkins, the republican candidate.
