Boston Herald: Although Senator Lo-
gan and other friends of the ex-President
profess to be very confident that there will
be no desertion from the ranks of the dele
gates who have been instructed to vote at
the Chicago convention for their candidate,
there is great reason to believe that they
are either unaccountably ignorant of the
weakness among their own followers or are
trying to keep up their courage by allowing
their wishes to control their thoughtsl 1t is,
for example, openly asserted that fifteen
members of the Pennsylvania delegation
have signed paper pledging themselves to
vote against General Grant. The third-term-
men may deny this assertion, but it comes
from an authoritative source, and there are
the best of reasons to believe that it is true.
In previous national Republican conventions
the delegates from Pennsylvania have OBJ
jected to the imposition of the unit rule, and
in each case the assembly has sustained them
in their demand for personal independence.

Heine'S Wife.

[From Alfred Messner's "reminiscences of Heine.l
Itwas after his 3Oth year that Heines rela-
tionship with Mathilde began. He looked
upon it as merely temporary affair at first;
but tender, yielding heart, combined with a
weak will converted it into a firm, enduring
bond. Whether it gave direction to his life
and brought him more happiness than sorrow
is a question hard to answer. Once he tried to
break away from it. In 1885 he went to
Campo, from whence he wrote: 'Thank God,
my soul is once more tranquil. My excited
senses are again tanned, and 1 live joyously
and freely in the castle of a charming friend,
in cordial circle of distinguished persons.
1 believe my spirit is at last purified of all
dross. My verses will be better, my books
more harmonious. So much L know; Lhave
at this moment horror of everything that is
not noble and clear. of all that is common and
vain." He did not keep on this high plane
very long though. Three months later he
wrote from Boulogne to another friend: "Un-
fortunately did not see the bearer of your
letter, because was in the country, near st.
German, at the castle of most beautiful,
most noble and most intellectual woman-with
whom, however, L am not in love. l am con-
demned to love only the lowest and most ig-
uOrdlit. OO YOU COutproucuu now bulS must
make man suffer who is proud and intelli-
CENT?"
He had, in fact, on his return to Paris re-
sumed his life with Mathilde whom he pre-
sented to his friends as Nine. Heine. They
conducted together menage Parisen for
many years before they were united in legal
way. In fact, it was not until his duel in 1S41
that Heine, fearing he might he killed,
changed his wild marriage" into tame
marriage" as he wrote friend, ''to assure
Mathilde's position in the world" Mathilde
was Norman village child, thrown by acci-
Worse still, she had no capacity for study
Heine sent her for several months to a board
ing school, but she learned nothing After
ward he engaged a friend to teach her the ele-
ments OF the German language, but after six
months effort she was not able to speak
single German sentence. The nearest she
came to success in this direction was "Nemen-
si-platz," with which phrase she always
greeted the poets German callers. Once she
declared that she should have to give up her
German studies because the effort to pronounce
the words gave her catarrh and sore throat.

The seventeenth quadrennial session of
the General Conference of the African
Methodist Episcopal Church opened at st.
Louis Monday. Bishop Payne, of Ohio,
was selected to preside over the conference.
This conference represents thirty-four dis
tinct conferences in over twenty States.
The African Church has about $4,000 COM
municants, 250 ministers, nearly 5000 local
preachers and six bishops. The conference
will continue in session about two weeks.
Two hundred delegates are present.

A GREATER number of emigrants came 20
this country in the April just closed than
during any other month since the world be-
gan. In April, 1873, the arrival of forty
three thousand intending settlers was re-
corded, and until this year that figure had
never been passed. But last month no fewer
than 46, ,11S persons landed at Castle Garden.
1t is expected that in May even these figures
will be overtopped.

Mr.. GROW thinks at least twenty-five of
the Pennsylvania delegates will vote for
Blaine. If this estimate was considered
somewhat extravagant week ago it will
appear more reasonable now that it is posi-
lively stated that every delegate from Phila-
delphia has declared for the Maine Senator.
The Philadelphia Press of Monday says:
1T is reasonably certain that James G..
Blaine will get twenty votes from PenDsyl-
vania at the Chicago Convention on the
first ballot"

New YORK Tribune: The love-feast of
Democrats at Harrisburg has two lessons for
Republicans. 1t should teach them, first,
that they cannot safely expect to win by any
division of their opponents; and, second,
that they have no right to be less ready than
Democrats to put aside personal preferences
and ambitions in united effort for the sue
cess of their principles.

Owing to the difficulty of getting advices
from West Point in time for an evening paper,
the Eagle has not been able to give the fullest
accounts of the testimony in the investigation
of Cadet Whitaker, now on trial for having
his ears slit. But the following synopsis will
put our readers in possession of all the salient
points in the evidence up to four hours after
we go to press:
Recorder-Are you a cadet?
WitneSS-I am.
Are you white or colored cadet?

Never. [Applause.]
Do you give your word of honor that you
never spoke to him?
do. Rapturous and continued applause.l
Do you know how his ears came to be cut?
lido.
State how.
He cut them himself.
How do you know?
Being a colored map, and consequently O
coward, he cut himself, and, if he hadn't been
discovered in time, he would have whitfield
himself to pieces.
Did you ever hear of white cadet mutilat-
ing himself?
Never.
Did you ever hear of one white cadet mutt
lating another?
No, sir.
From which you infer?
That no white cadet would mutilate col
ored cadet.
How did Whitaker stand in his class?
Don't know; never saw him. ILaughter.l
What is your position in your class?
At the foot. [Applause.l
Did Whitaker ever drink?
Not with me.
Where did you get your liquor?
Point.
Did Whitaker ever go there?
No. he was not allowed.
Did you write the anonymous letter to Whit
taker?
1 am not in correspondence with him.
[Cheers and applause.]
The next witness is an officer in high rank
Recorder-In your opinion how did Whitta-
ker come by his wounds?
Witness--He inflicted them himself
How?
1 can't answer.
Are you sure they were not inflicted by a
white cadet?
Perfectly.
How do you know?
Because they all deny it.
By Mr.. Townsend-Don't you think it pos
sible that a man mean enough to do such
thing would be mean enough to lie out of it?
WltneSs-We are not here to be insulted.
We are not worse than anybody else. We
amt as bad. insist that the question be en-
tered on the minutes.
A Cadet-You miserable old hog eyed pol
troon. l want you to understand that we are
gentlemen! Don't come here with any airs or
we'll beat your whole head off! Long and en-
thusiastic applause.l
Recorder Ito witness)-You are certain that
none of the white cadets did this thing?
Certainly.
And if they had they would have owned up?
OF course they would. That's their style.
They are the frankest, most oten-hearted boys
in the world.
By Mr.. Townsend-Where is Whitaker
now?
Locked up in the guardhouse and heavily
ironed.
