Malone on His Arrest.
By telerranh 10 thc Herald,

WASHINGTON, October l6.-the city Is
agog to-day with the arrest OF Senator
Malone, who, Immediately after his re-
lease last night, returned to his apart
ments in the Portland flats and had the
house closed to all visitors. Reporters
and correspondents, who pressed so per-
sistently the electric annuncat0r and
patiently waited for the janitor Of the
great building to make his appearance,
were disappointed. AS late as 2 o'clock
this morning the jingle of the bell could
be heard, but there was no response. -
Senator Malone wisely determined, in
order to get good rest, to shut out all
callers as this was the only way he could
do it.
Atll o'clock this morning Senator
Malone with his son, Bertrand Malone,
took the train for his home at Peters
burg, where he will remain until recall
ed by the Senate which, tomorrow, will
adjourn until next Friday. Unless re-
called by important matters in the Sem
ate, he will not return until Monday
week.
GOSSIP ABOUT THE DUEL.
The departure of Senator Malone and
the fact of his arrest last night to pre-
vent his going into Virginia gives addi-
tional interest to the gossip on the sub
iGCt of the duel. 1t is alleged that he
sent challenge to his friends in Rich
mond, and left it to their Judgment as to
whether it should he delivered to Gen.
Early. His friends, by telegraph, adj
vised him not to engage IN duel with
Early for reasons unnecessary to men
tlon in this connection; but in view Of
the condition of political affairs, they
thought it well for him to come down.
In compliance with this request Senator
Malone left, as above stated.
SENATOR MALONE ON HIS ARREST.
While waiting in the depot for the
train Senator Malone declined to say
much about the affair Of last night. He
did say that his arrest was unexpected,
aud at the instance of man he had
never known or heard Of. He had not,
he said, violated the law, and when car
ricd before Judge Shell assured him that
ut the present time there was no prOba-
biity of his committing n breach of the
peace us charged in the Indictment As
he boarded the train he said in reply TO
the question as to the object Of his de
parlurc for Petersburg, 81 am going to
attend to my business there" There
was curious sparkle in his eye, and it
may be that it was significant of de-
termination to settle the Early matter a.
soon rs possible.

The District Judgeship.

A great deal of interest is felt throughout
the entire community in the appointment of
a successor to Judge Fox. The relations of
this judgeship to our commercial interests
are SO intimate and important that every
body is anxious that the best possible ap-
pointment be made without reference to col
lateral considerations. With this purpose
in view the eyes of men turn with singular
unanimity to Hon, Nathan Webb os the
most suitable person for the place. Mr..
Webb combines in a remarkable degree the
qualities desirable for the judgeship. He has
an eminently jud icial mind, apt to consider
fairly and impartially all questions submit
ted to him. His general education, as well
as his special legal training, is thorough and
accurate, and his long experience as District
Attorney and his large practice in the
United States Courts have given him that
familiarity with the United States law and
rules of practice so necessary in a judicial
position. He is a large-minded, right
thinking man, of perfect probity in life and
conduct and infexble rectitude in thought
and act. We would like to see him on the
Supreme Bench of the United States, but as
that cannot be, for the present at least, we
hope his high abilities may be utilized Tor
the good # the community in the minor but
important post of District Judge. President
Arthur may be assured that his appoint
ment would be universally received as emf
nently fit and proper,
Another element which should have weight
in the selection is the place of residence OF
the Judge. At least nineteen twentieths OF
the business before this court comes from
Portland, or sections Immediately centering
at this city, SO that the selection of Judge
residing elsewhere in Maine would sub
ject snitors to great inconvenience. Portland
too, is the most convenient pointfo persons
from outside the State who may have busi-
ness in the District Court. But the great
consideration, after all, which should gov
ern the appointment is the special and emil
nent fitness of Mr.. Webb for the place, and
upon that we trust the President will
act.

The Cincinnati Enquirer praises the man
ner of Senator Pendleton's civil service re-
form speech. but says: while there is
scarcely one exception in the acknowledge
ment that the Senator admirably sustained
himself as speaker, the sentiment of his
remarks and the purposes of his bill are not
SO widely approved as he would undoubtedly
wish and probably expect. The color OF
comment in the Democratic papers, taking
the range of our exchange list as the guide,
will be somewhat disappointing to Mr. Pen

Exploits and Voyages of Raleigh. By George
Makopeace Towle. Boston: Lee s. Shepard;
Portland; Loring, Short & Harmony. No ficti-
tious story can surpass in exciting episodes OF
in picturesque situations this true story of Sir,
Walter Raleigh, whose name is almost one
with everything knightly and honorable. The
most brilliant figure at the court of Queen
Elizabeth, he was also brave voyager, Wig
orous explorer, an elegant author, wise and
good statesman, and shone all the more bright
ly by his strong and gentle virtues as a eitizsn
and husband. Mr.. Towle is fighting the ere
of bad books by lighting clear and lively
blaze to oppose it; and boys aud their parents
may well thank the writer of such volumes as
this, where real heroism is shown in strong and
attractive portraiture.

cate and lovely in coloring and design. It's
pages are filed with delicious little songs, as
artistic as they are simple and childlike, which
will delight little readers while training their
ears to fine felicities of rhythm. Some lovely
little triolets-a form of verse lately revived
from old French literature-are to be noted.
Here is stanza, to show how nimbly the trio

Or broad white sail bought

She could sail to tee sky.
Although these tiny triolets do not always
hold themselves bound by the severe rules of
their versifcation, as set forth in Mr. Edmund
Gosse's elegant paper upon similar forms of
verse, they convey very sweetly the tunefal-
ness of their kind. The other poems of the

THE smoke nuisance has reached such
pass in London that there was a large at
tendance at the opening, some three weeks
ago, of a special and exclusive "Smoke
Abatement Exhibition" Even the Lord
Mayor and "Lorne and Louise" who are
now visiting the old folks, thought the cause
worthy to be honored by their notice. Both
the Lord Mayor and the Marquis of Lorne
made addresses. Smoke is no new thing in
London, where now, besides countless fac
tories, 100000 private CRATES are said to pour
out the foul stuff every morning. As long
ago as 1914, Evelyn, the Diarist, wrote that
London had the appearance of 'such
cloud of sea coal as if there be resemblance
of hell upon earth. 1t is as volcano on a
foggy day. This pestilent smoke corrodes
the very river, leaving smoke on all things 1t
lights on, and so fatally seizing on the lungs
of the inhabitants that the cough and the
consumption spare no man" This descrip-
ton is as true to-day as it was $50 years
ago, and for that matter, almost as true Of
Sheffield, and Birmingham, and Manchester
and Pittsburg as it is of London. Smoke is
one Of the chief ingredients of the famous
London fogs. Evelyn gravely recommended
that the use of Newcastle coal in the me-
tropolis be given up. In this day all that is
asked is tbat some of the devices for con-
suming smoke be employed. great many
theoretical and practical inventions were
displayed at the ''Smoke Abatement Exhibi-
tion" There is no doubt that some of them
can be introduced into general use, but they
cost money, and no law has yet been found
strong enough to compel their adoption.
Boston Traveller: In 1868 James G..
Blaine entered the National House Of Rep
resentatiyes, as a member of the Maine dele
CATION, followed two years later by Roscoe
Conkling, as member of the New York
delegation. In 1867, Mr.. Conkling was
transferred to the Senate where he remained
till his resignation last May. Mr. Blaine
was member of the House, serving three
terms as Speaker till 1877, when he was
also transferred TO the Senate, remaining
there till he was appointed last March by
President Garfield as Secretary of State.
Few men in official life have been more
prominently before the country during the
last fifteen years than these gentlemen, and
he who had prophesied year ago that both
on the first of January, 1882, would be in
private life, would have been regarded as
wild prophet. Yet next New Years day
will, undoubtedly, find both these eminent
men as simply private citizens. They are,
however, and will continue to be powerful
factors in American politics, nor is it at all
probable that their fellow citizens will suffer
them to remain long in retirement.

little volume are drawn very well, in Kate
Greenaway's manner; and are eolored accord

unworthy of the illustrations the metre is oft
en- very faulty; they have little OF the tuneful
