The steamer Amerique, from Havre,

Quarantine, Staten Island.
The artists of the actress company
arrived yesterday on the steamship
Wieland. They left Paris on the 10Th
and Havre the following day, without
touching at Cbsrbourg, It. was about
one o'clock when the vessel reached
the dock at Hoboken, and an hour later
the ladies and gentlemen of the troupe
were busy at their baggage, There
we're fifteen Of them altogether, and
they were met on the dock by the man

n. Y. Special to the Chicago Times.l
A Sun correspondent from Provi-
dence says: 1t is expected that Mr.
Thompson will make a demand upon
Ex-Gov. Sprauge for the possession of
Canonchet to- morrow morning Out of
this demand arises apprehensiOns of
trouble. Gov. Sprague is at Canonchet.
He claims to be legal custodian. He in
sists this present move is a conspiracy
to crush him, and he refuses to be
crushed. He refuses to admit any but
his tried friends, and says that he shall
not yield up the property, He says
that he is perfectly willing to give
up to Mrs. Sprague her clothing, but
he will not submit to have his per-
sonal furniture taken away. Mr..
Thompson has the keys that we're OBJ
tanned by Mrs. Sprague on the day be-
fore bel Fight, but there is the best
authority for saying that he will not
obtain certain documents which Mrs
Sprague desired to get. These docu-
ments are In the hands of a warm, in,
innate friend of Governor Sprague
The same friend tells something IN
teresting of the famous shotgun in
! eident. He says that it woulC
have been a tragedy bu

Ireland in a Blaze.

Our dispatches from Dublin tell
fully Of the great excitement that has
been provoked there by the determin.
alton of the British government to
prosecute the head men OF the land
league. 1t was recognized on every
hand, apparently, that what was the
other day only an agitation for resist
ance to the payment Of rent has sud
denly BECOME a moral revolt, not only
against the payment Of rent, but

THE democratic legislative ticket in
this county can easily, and should
by all means be elected. If any DEM
ocrat thinks of scratching the ticket
because it does not exactly suit his
personal preferences, let him think of
the possible effect. Let him consider
whether he is willing to exchange a
single man on the ticket for Cassells,
or any of the rest on the republican
ticket. This is the issue. The defeat
of any one of our nominees, means the
election of somebody on the republi-
can ticket. We have here Temporal
riIy what is styled two different wings
of the democratic party, divided only
by the state debt question, which is
not likely to be settled by the next
legislature, even if all the members
were one way of thinking. Neither
wing of the party in Shelby county
could elect ticket without the help
of the other. To have run two tick =
cts would have been to invite the re-
pulicans to walk over the track and
secure ten members of the legislature
to vote for Horace Maynard for the
senate anI other republicans swho
would aspire i2r the Offices of comp
troller. treasurer, secretary Of state and
other state Offices. The democrats Of
Shelby county although unfortunately
divided upon one issue, are not
ready to surrender to the republicans
IF their wishes had been consulted
there would not now be any anxiety
i'd regard to the election of Judge
Hawki1s as governor. The democrat
who can mSke up his mind to scratch
single name on the legislative ticket
ought to complete the work to be con-
sisteut, and fill in tile republican he
desires elected However, >ws do not
and cannot think that our ticket will
be scratched by dozen voters. 1t ID
allimportant that We elect solid del
egation.

The Coming Comet.

n. Y. Sun.
TIE Rochester astronomical socie-
ty announces that the comet discover
ed by Professor Swift, on Sunday last
promises to become very brilliant. II
is coming almost straight toward the
earth, and SO its position in the heav-
ems changes slowly. 1t is in the con
stellation Pegasus, which is overhead
at about 9 o'clock in the evening. II
seems to be throwing off a brilliant
tail, which will become visible to the
naked eye as it swings into the neigh
borhood Of the sun. If this comet
ful6lls its present promise, it will be a
magnificent object in the coming win
ter evenings. Some of the astrono-
mers, it seems suspect that this may
be the same great comet that blszed
with extraordinary splendor just be-
fore the war of 1872. Ifso, and it re-
tains its former brilliancy, there is a
great treat in store for us. But there
have been so many comets discovered
this year which have disappointed
those who predicted great things for
them, that It will be well not to expect
much Of the newcomer until it has
Given unmistable evidence Of its met
