THE CARLYLE CONTROVERSY
FrOGde's Reply to the StrietHres
OH His Course in Regard TO
the Memoir.

LONDON. MAY 9.-There is a fresh
iustallment of the Carlyle controversy
this morning in letter from Froude,
which he declares IS the last notice
he will take of anything said on the
subject. Mr.. Froude writes The
memoir of the late Mrs. Carlyle and
the collection Of her letters made BY
Mr.. Carlyle and partially prepared by
him for publication are my personal
property, given to me to make such
use of as might seem good 70 me. l
am sole Judge Of what part o. them
should or should not be printed, aud
neither Mrs. Alexander Carlyle nor
any one else has a right to call in ques-
tiOn the discretion which Mr.. Carlyle
left with me alone. These papers,
which are mine, | shall keep. The
memoir is published; the letters will
be published. | decline to allow any
person or persons, whether friends
of Mr.. Carlyle or not, to be associated
with me in q discharge of trust
which belongs exclusively to myself.
The remaining papers, which L
was airected to return to
Mrs Alexander Carlyle as
as soon as / hage done with them, [
will restore at ones to any responsible
person whom she wall empower to re-
ceive them. have reasep TO COM
plain of the position in which baye
been placed, in respect to these mana,
scripts. They were sent to me at in
tervals. without inventory, or even a
numerical list. ! was told that the
more | destroyed the better, and
they we're for several years in my pos
session before / was aware they were
not my own. Happily l had destroyed
none of them. Mrs. AlexandeF Car
lyle can have them all when sho
pleases." The Times has an editorial
on the subject, viewing the whole dis
pute, depreeating the taking Of Car
lyle's ill-humored sentences as serious,
and therefore as binding with Mr.;
Froude. "Mr. Froude has performed
valuable services in giving rs at so
short notice materials which ore
needed for obtaining greater insight
into the genius of master life. The
records Of Carlyle's revereHee for his
father and his affection for his wife
will be as widely read and as widely
appreciated as anything else from the
same pen. The "reminiscences are not
.oply deeply interesting, but they are
in Carlyle's best style.

The actual resident population of
London, that is, of the city" proper,
is not more than 10000. But so in
significant is this number compared
with the day population, and so mis-
leading is it in the censusrecOrds, that
the civic authorities are taking day
census, of all persons frequepting and
doing business in the city. The re,
suit will reveal some interesting facts,
not only concerning the great army of
persons practically homeless and with
out occupation who roam the streets,
but about the thousands of young men
and women who are shut up from
morning till night in warehouses and
factories. During the winter these
persons are miserably situated, being
miles from home, and in a place they
cannot obtain decent meals at reas.
enable cost. Often they are not al
lowed to remain in the work room du-
ring dinner hour, but must go out, in
any weather, and fnd shelter where
they can.

A singular striIEe.

Cincinnati Enqulrer.l
The strike fever that is prevalent
everywhere seems to be contagious.
The boys of "B" grade, sixth reader,
Twenty-fourth district school, at PEN
dletOn seems to have caught the fever,
Tor they made singular strike yester-
day afternoon. The boys wanted their
teacher, Mr.. j. R. Brown, to dismiss
them at recess, which he very proper
ly refused to do. At recess the boys
held a meeting and determined to
strike for new teacher. They agreed
among themselves not to go TO school
until their request was granted. The
strikers were distinguished from the
ether scholars by red ribbon pinned
to the lapels of their coats. Public
opinion seems to be against the strik,
ers. A large number Of the boys pa
rents struck hard last night, but they
did it in quite a different manner.
Some of the strikers will, no doubt,
find sitting rather uncomfortable this
morning. Mr.. Brown is one Of the
best teachers in this school, and is
not to blame fer this singular freak Of
a few incorrigible boys.

How that amazing name for news
paper, the Tombstone Epitaph, came
to be is thus explained: Edward Scheff-
elm, who is now a mining millionaire,
was once employed in Prescott, Arizo-
ma, as a mule driver. One day he told
a companion that he was going off to
make or find fortune. ''Oh, yes, ;"
was the friends reply, you'll find a
tombstone" Not long after Scheffelin
struck ore, and pitched his camp, and,
IN remembrance of his friends sneering
answer, he called it Tombstone. 1t
soon became large and prosperous
place, and it's first newspaper bears the
queer name of Tombstone Epitaph. :"

THE SENATE DEADLOCK.

For two months Immediately sue
coeding the 4th of March the United
States Senate was blocked by dead
lock, the question being on the cleo
ton of senate officers. The Republi-
can Senators claimed majority of
one vote including the casting vote of
the Vice-President, and this was con-
coded them by the Democratic Sena-
tors in the arrangement of the CON-
mittees; but in the election of officers
they couldn't see it in that way,
because one who was formerly Il
Democrat proposed to vote with the
Republicans, not caring to take into
account the fact that one who had
formerly been Republican proposed
to vote with them. The Democrats
deny that Malone, of Virginia. has
any moral right to vote against them,
but notwithstanding this. for reasons
best known to himself, he has propos-
ed to do so. While we shall be pleas
ed to see the senate controlled by the
Republicans if they can do so without
buying up Malone, we would rather
have the Democrats control that body
than have the Republicans secure the
vote of the Virginia Senator at the
expense of his dictation in the APP
pointment of senate officers, the dis
tribution of the Federal patronage in
Virginia, and an alliance with party
whose avowed cardinal principle, in
addition to those of Bourbon Democ-
racy, is reputation. In addition to
the questionable virtues of having
been a Confederate officer of high
rank and modern Southern Demo-
cratic bull-dozer, Malone possesses
that of a repudiator, and the Republi-
can Senators can hardly afford to form
any entangling alliances with him for
the sake of securing the senate offices
and committees. If Malone, who
claims not to have been elected as a
Democ rat, prefers to vote with the
Republicans rather than the Demo-
Gratis simply as choice of two evils,
no objection could be offered by Re-
publicans, but we would not advise
placing all business Of purely politi-
cal nature that might come before the
senate during the next two years sub
iect to his whims upon a bargain in
which only the spoils of office and not
principle should be involved.
