The spirits which are materialized over a
meat shop in Eightb-ave., as the ghOstly
chronicle in our news columns runs. hail from
some realm where cleanliness is not next to
godliness. The apparitiOns come before q

MIR. T. Turner justifes the artificial devel-
opment of Kentucky's trout streams OH the

State from the privileges of sea coast. Is
It not probable that those streams, even when
widened and deepened into rivers, will still be
almost too fresh' Is there any way of effec-
tually bracing up the State other than root

Our venerable phllanthropist, Peter Cooper,
has more practical way of hOnoring his
nineteth birthday than bis friends and neigh
bors can possibly devise. He has given
$50, 900 outright to the Institute which bears
his name, besides handing the trustees re-
ceipted bills for $4,000 expended in various
ways, and laying aside $4,000 for the inter-
ests of poor children. Such men as he do
good in the same large way that prairie
yields crops, and he is almost as quiet in
doing it.
Irish affairs take up comparatively little
space in our London correspondents review
Of the week. The collapse of Obstruction has
cleared the ground and the Protection bill
is making rapid progress toward its final
reading. The passage of the Arms bill will
be followed by the introduction of the Land
act and then interest in the session will re-
yiye. The various sections Of the Liberal
party have been fused temporarily and the
closer alliance which has been promoted will
strengthen the Government when the serious
work of agrarian reform Is taken up.

Cupid laughs at codicils and settlements, even
when there il half million year 20 lose. Our
special cable dispatches announce tho Marriage
of Mr.. Ashmead Bartlett and the Baroness
Burdett -Coutts. Mr.. Blennerh asset has hot
carried his measure for lcgalizing such cere-
monies when conducted at N sensible hour OF the
day, and accordingly the happy pair were united
in MAYFAIR before midday and wher the
bcnediction had been sad the secret came out
in the evening papers. The family solicitors are
given employment from the very steps OF the
altar. The bridegroom had assumed tho name
at the bride in order TO remove n technical Oh
)cction TO the continuance of certain settlements
and the bill to I've filed i'll Chancery restraining
the trustees under the will of the Duchess OF ST.
Adams from paying life interest of 100000

tons Of the will are 50 explicit that the foriei-
turc of this interest would seem inevitable
The loss of so much hard cash would spoil a ro-
nance under ordinary circumstances. But half
y million year is only II song when there is
$40, 0O0, 900 more III the bargain. London So
Cicty is momontarilv shocked out of all its pro-
prietics. Lord Beaconsfield is edited, and the
terrestrial ball spins round rs usual.
There is q strong probability, our London cor
respondent telcgraphs, that Mr.. PARCEL will
sail for America from France. lie will not
come this time on an erraud OF merry. Ireland
is not breasting the dark waters OF pestilcncc
and famine. The generous impulses of man
kind are no longer stirred by hearttending re-
citas of starvation and impOverishment in the
island. He will not cross the sen to ask for
charity. His aims will be solely political. He
wants money to enable the Land League to con-
time the present agitation. He expects to IN
vigOrate the movement at home by adveni iti0us
aid on this side. He hopes, by changing his
base of operations, to prOlong the agitation in
definitely and in this way to wear out the pa
thence of the English people. Undoubtedly he
will be welcomed by the more imDetuous and
turbulent elements of lrish-Amcrican society.
He has been thorn i'll the side OF the British
lion, and that counts for great deal with them.
But sober-minGed Irishmen cannot fail to re-
mark that q high price has been paid for the
Temporary successes of Obstruction i'll late years.
Public sentiment in England has been united;
force bills for Ireland are accepted on all sides
rs absolutely necessary aud the cause OF land
reform has been brought into dl>repute by the
Parliamentary tactics of Mr. Parncl.
