T.cre is, ut least. the first step toward COM

The Hlcokyn clergyman are considering
tie ,rcpricty Of a revival movement. not so
much, apparently, to bring in new members
as to- wake up the ola oucS. A; their me. +

If there was any doubt before whether New
York might have a spring election this year
il is now removed. Senator Mccarthy frankly
admitted to the Committee of the Society OF
Political Reform yesterday. that he did not
m hay 10 oil
tion this wear. The father of the bill having
disowned his offspring to this extent, Mayor
Grace can shake his head without fearing
that it may tumble off his shoulders.
The announcement that Mr. Howells is to
retire from the EditOrship of Tile atlantic
Monthly upon March l, and that Mr.. I. b.
Aldrich is to succeed him, Involves no mis-
fortune either to literature or The atlantic.
Mr. HowclIs's retirement Is voluntary. Ii is
understood 10 be his desire to devote himself
entirely to his own literary plans, by which
American fiction will assurrdly gain much.
Mr.. Aldrich has already distinguished himseif
In editorial labors, and has long been regarded
as Mr. Howells's natural successor in case of
a change. The Atlantic will surely maintain
under his direction the high rank which Mr..
Howels gave it and kept for it.
Mr.. Gladstone takes another bold step in
proposing that the Irish Protection bill shall
be reported soon. whatever amendments
may be pending. Mr.. Cowen, of Newcastle
on-Tyne, marks his d'sapprOval by giving
notice of an ironical motion to the effect
that when bill is declared urgent
1t shall be passed without discussion,
while Mr. Sullivan shows his despair
by declaring that he will move that no Irish
man shall be heard on urgent" bills. The
Premiere patience Ia again evidently strained
