FOSTER N HAYES.
A Comparison OF the Merits Of the Two
Great Men.
Chieaeo speeIsl.i

Chicago speeisll
General ]. j. Robinson, of Ohio, has
been here some days. He says that
Gar6eld's stock is rising, and that he
thinks Garfield is nearly out of the
woods. | asked the General what was
the relative ability Of President Hayes
and Governor Foster. He replied :
Hayes has not the ability to make
money that Foster has. During that
campaign where Foster made so many
speeches and did so much hard work
he made from 100000 to 100000 in
trade. He had a large quantity Of
wool and nearly seventy thousand
bushels of wheat, which went
up on his hands, and he also
made a considerable sum in the
stock in the Erie and Great Western
railroad. But Hayes as a politician is
often very cute. In the campaign Of
1873. when he ran. for Governor, he
told me, about q month before the
election, that he had not yet got a ma
jority, and hal Allen would beat him
unless he would crawl up closer. Two
weeks before the election he told me
that he was very close up to Allen,
but that the work had yet to be ac'
complished in those two weeks. In
the Presidential year, when l was con-
fdent that the state ticket would have
from eight to ten thousand majority,
Hayes told me that he thought | was
mistaken, aud we had to put in the
strokes in the last days
GeHeral Robinson said he took no
stock in the South going for Grant. or
any part of it. mo doubt" he said,
there are political leaders down there
who would like to see a change, but
their people will just ride rOugh-shod
over them. They have got too much
ignorance and too little liberality to
allow anything of the kind"

The CITY of Inc Fntnre.

Austin Texas Statesman, Nov. 2s.l
Memphis must be a dead town.
Thursdays cotton receipts aggregated
l0,ll2 bales, or 1900 more than were
ever before received in a single day.
The city located on these bluffs" is
certainly making up for lost time. If
its cesspools, the old and abandoned
and the new be drained and no more
be created, the city having under.
ground drainage, and the bayou be
paved and Eads' %ietties keep open the
mouth of the Mississippi, Memphis
will be a magnificent city. Kansas
City is now building a railway to meet
the system Of roads converging at
Memphis from the southeast, and
Memphis is destined to receive much
Of the trade now centering at st

AN oPBRAT1o sEEsATIos
Report that Senator Aramburc and his
Wife, Sonora Adihi, left New York
for EurOpe without NJ. Maple
sons knowledge.
New York Tribune. 9Th Nov.I

New York Tribune. 9th Now
So far as can be learned Senior Aram-
buro and his wife, Sonora Adm, who
have been singing together at the
Academy ofMusic in the leading parts
in "Trovatore' and "Rigoletto, left
New York for Europe under somewhat
peculiar circumstances at Bpm. yes
terday, on the steamer Canada Of the
French Transatlantic line. When Mr..
Mapleson was asked concerning the
report, last evening, he said that il
could not be true, and referred the re-
porter TO No. A. East Twentieth
street, where Senior Aramburo aud
his wife were supposed to be living.
AT the house it was learned that on
Tuesday evening an expressman had
taken the singers trunks away, and
that yesterday morning Senior Aram-
buro and his wife had left the house
saying that they were going to the
Everett House to stay. The two
lunched with friends at the Everett
House and it was learned at the hack
office that at l:30 pm. they were dri-
ven to the French steamer which
sailed at 3 pm.
The second chapter of this story is
even mor curious than the first.
Siguor Angelo. MIR. Mapleson's bust
ness manager, Signor Arditi and others
were amazed at the report in the eve
ming, before the opera began. and many
said that it couldn't be true. One
young man said that he saw Senior
Aramburo at No. 4S East Twentieth
street, at d r. m, and Mr.. Mapleson
said that at $50 p. IN. Senior Aramburo
borrowed $500 Of him. The manager
said further that at about 6 D. m.
Sonora Adm came to the office and
secured five seats for the evening per-
tormance- of Carmen" On Tuesday
he said he had paid to Aramburo
S2,jOO-his months salary, and to his
wife $3.50. AramburO was engaged
from October to April. His wife's
name had not been ON the prospectus,
and he had not thought of engaging
her until one day when he overheard
her singing in one of the Academy
p%arlors. Then she sang as Leonora in
"Trovatore, and as Gilda in "Ripo-
letto" to her husband Manrico and
Ii Duca in the same operas. The two
sang for the last time in "Troyatore"
in Newark on Tuesday evening. At
that time he asked Mr.. Mapleson's
permission to sing in "Stabat Mater
on Sunday next. Later in the even
ing Mr.. Mapleson said that Aramburo
had left word for him by the door boy
to the effect that as his name did not
appear in the cast for the next ten
days he would return to Milan to fulfil
an engagement at La Scala. He prom
Used to send back Mr.. Mapleson's loan
of $500 when he reached Milan. 1t is
said that he has an engagement at La
Scala, beginning December 10, and
Mr.. Mapleson said that he was to get
$1,000 a month.

With all due respect for the worthy
and well-meaning advocates of the
earth closet system, We fail to join in
the chorus with its admirers. Mr..
William r. Moore took it off very
neatly and sensibly in Yesterdays
LEDGER. We will admit, for argu-
ments sake, that it is an interesting
scientific c%ontrivauce, and that in some
instances it would answer the pur-
poses intended we'll enough. For
instance, in a family of two or more
grown up persons Of a philosophical
and scientific turn Of mind, it would
perhaps work like a charm. Especially
so if these persons were in the
habit Of reading sanitary journals,
scientific magazines and medical Peri
Odicals. A family Of such adults, if
possessed of leisure and a taste for
nice experiments, could no doubt so
siit and distribute the earth that one
Of these machines would be kept as
fragrant as an odorless e%xeayator. Of
course it would take time and carbolic
acid, and coperas, line and cologne to
do all this, but the knowledge of
chemistry and the wonderful laws of
compensation in nature, would amply
reward the patient deliver into nature
valuable secrets. We can sec how a
great deal could be added to the seien-
ti6c literature of the day, and o the
sum total Of human experience.
But We can imagine times aud places
where it would not work. In a family
Of ten or twelve, and most Of them
children, the old folks might get sick
or be away from home and leave the
little ones to do the sitting. Il is just
possible that in cold or wet weather
they might hurry through the leyitical
regulation, like people saying their
prayers, and not use enough ofdirt. or
they might run short of earth alto
sether; the house might be ever so
we'll kept, and the one next to it be in
bad order and bad odor. There are
classes Of people who take no partieu.
lar interest in the laws Of
chemistry or even in keeping
their premises and persons in
a clean condition. Filth has no
terrors for them and smells never Of
Eend their olfaetorjes. Such people
would never bother themselves to keep
an earth closetin a decent condition.
They would as soon live next door 10
a slaughter pen or bone factory as to
a fresh park or flower garden. This
class ia larger than generally supposed.
Some are TO be found in aiaost
every neighborhood. They would
be just As likely to give sn

as they would be 10 use a bee hive fot

A Famous Editors Death.

The cable announces the death of
John Thaddeus Delane, who was for
thirty-six years the editor of the Lon
don Times. He withdrew in 1877. in
i'll health, and passed the closing years
Of his life in retirement, chiefly in the
south of France and Italy. Mr.. Delane
was 81 years Of age, an Oxford gradu-
ate, and a London barrister. Ills
father had been in former years the
business manager Of the Times, and
he entered the Office in 1889 as assistant
to the then editor, Thomas Barnes.
whom he succeeded as editor in 1911.
The career of Nj. Delane is the history
of the great London newspaper at
its highest point, and he directed It's
course through the cventful period
since 1910 with one exception with
wonderful success. He never held
any other position, and was rarely
away from his post of duty, but always
when in London and in health, stay
ing at the Office until the paper went
to press, and attending to every detail
of the makeup Of the reading PAGES.
He made a brief visit to the United
States in 1867. Mr.. Delane was a 70.
bust, energetic man, and physically a
type Of the best class of Englishmen
He had a hearty manner that CAN'T
yated all who came in contact with
him, whilst he had no superior
in quickly measuring the drift
OF public opinion, and test
ing the sense of the ruling classes
Of Great Rritaia upon great questions
OF state policy, He was a brilliant
eonyersationallst, aud for many years
prominent in London society, his great
abilities and charming manners giving
him the entree to the highest circles
To these qualities and advantages he
owed much of his success in directing
the course Of the Times. The control
Of that influential journal was for a
long period in the hands ofMr. Delane
and his two brothers in law Sir George
Webbe Dasent, who was assistant
editor, and Mr. Mobray Morris, the
business manager. Mr.. Morris
retired in broken health several years
ago, subsequently dying, and Dir. Da.
sent was made a British Civil Service
Commissioner in 1870, being after.
yards kpighted. The control of the
Times then passed to Mr.. Jno. G.
Macdonald, the present manager and
DR.. I. Chenery, the present editor.
who succeeded Messrs. Morris and
Delane, though Mr.. John Walters
