is dangerous pastime for lads to tease beg
gars, drunken people and others in
the streets, but it is one altogether
too common. Parents should take
pains to warn their children against
the habit and to punish them when they
detect them in it's practice. At the same
time the cruel act of this wretch is without
the slightest palliation, and he should be
awarded the extent of the legal penalty for
his barbarous crime. The punishment for
mayhem is not less than seven years, and
as much longer term as the Court in its
discretion may prescribe 1t is to be hoped
that in this case it will be long enough to

Stick to the Text.

The Albany Argus remarks:-"The NEW
York HERALD is hereby respectfully adj
vised: That Mr.. s. j. Tilden never thought
or said that the democracy would, will,
may, or can lose New York this year, but
that that would only insure their success
next year.; neither sto Southern Senator,
nor to any one else did Mr. Tilden make
any such statement, and no SUCH statement
or anything to that effect represents Mr..
Tilden's Impressions in any respect"
The HERALD did not ask the Argus to go
bail for Mr.. Tilden. He is Of age and can
speak for himself. The HERALD wrote, not
what the Argus asserts, but this:-''Mr.
Tilden, some months ago, told Southern
Senator that the democrats would lose New
York this year, but that this would not
matter, as he could carry it next year"
This is, it will be observed, quite differ
ent. We did not print what is above quoted
without having good reason to believe it
true, and we observe that the argus does
not deny its truth, but contradicts some
thing essentially different. We should be
very sorry, however, to do Mr.. Tilden the
least injustice, and if he-not the argus
will deny over his own name the truth of
our statement, the HERALD will not only
very readily publish his denial, but will
send him at once the name of its informant.
We advise the Argus to wait.

The Sultan of Turkey demands of the. new
Khedive of Egypt that he shall grant per-
mission to his predecessor, Ismail Pacha
to return to Egypt and live at Alexandria
or Damietta. The British and French Con-
suls Genernl have advised the Khedive to
defer any answer to the Sultan's despatch
containing this demand until they shall
have had an opportunity to consult their
governments on the subject. They
probably have an idea that 1t will
be better for the peace of the
country and their own peoples in
terests that the deposed ruler, having been
quietly kicked out of Egypt, shall remain
out But there is another party whom it
may be necessary to consult as we'll as the
French and British governments. Ismail
Pacha may claim to have some voice him
self in the matter of his future residence,
and inasmuch as he has got safely away
from Egypt with large amount OF personal
property, estimated to be OF the value of
six million dollars, as well as with as
many OF the numerous Mrs. Ismails as
he may have cared to take, he may not be
so anxious to return. Indeed, as inquiries
have already been made in the British Par
lament in relation to the character of the
treasure the ex-Khedive took away with
him, it may be prudent for him to remain
outside the Egyptian territory. We regard
it as highly probable that despite the Sui
tan's friendly demand Ismail Pacha will
deem it more to his advantage to seek o
quiet home somewhere else than at Alex
andria or Damietta.

Comfort Mt. Sen.

We print elsewhere communication
from an "Ocean Traveller" who calls at
tention to the possibilities of improving
the comfort of passengers at seattle
luxury" perhaps, he should have said;
but, whether comfort or luxury, he is right
in the opinion that there is room for i'm
provement. Upon all the great lines, such
as the Cunard, White Star, Inman, French,
German, Guion and National lines, the
custom is to provide an elaborate bill
OF fare, comprising q list of entrees,
hors-d9utres and releres; which, to
adapt Scriptural expression, are s'sweet
to the eye, but bitter to the belly" Instead
of good cut of roast beef and an accom-
panying simple dish or two served in table
dh6te style, the present fashion is to bonn
bard the passenger with fancy dishes, but
usually SO badly cooked as to be uneatable.
We hear that the White Star line is soon to
build vessel, to be called the Majestic,
which shall surpass the previous steamers
of that fleet not only in size but also in
the kind of comfort suggested by our
correspondent. Instead of seating the
passengers at long benches in the manner
of boarding schools at feeding time small
separate tables are to be furnished and
meals are to be served as at table d'h6te.
The White Star Company already deserve
credit for many innovations and improve
ments upon the old fashions of steamship
travel, and we trust they will not let any
other line anticipate them in carrying out
this excellent plan. not only as regards the
Majestic, but upon all the other ships Of
their fine feet.
It is interesting to observe the rapid
progress of improvement in this matter Of
ocean travel. Competition between the
various lines has resulted in such models
of naval architecture as the Britannia, Ger
manic and, more recently, the Arizona and
the Gallia, all of which have crossed the
Atlantic in few hours more than eight
days. 1t is pleasant to see that the Cunard
line which has earned so desirable o repu-
tation for safety, should show signs. as in
the case of the Gallia, OF keeping its feet
up to the standard Of the other lines such
as the White Star. No doubt the Majestic,
when 1t comes, will be rivalled by some
still swifter and more comfortable vessel of
the Cunard, Inman, Guion or perhaps of
the German or French line, and the pas
sage from New York to Liverpool in six or
even in five days become an accomplished
fact.
