While telling the Incident a friend ex-

Z A cablegram from London says, there
Will soon be rush to America Of every

Christine Nilsson and Adelina Patti sail

next year.
1t is rumored in English political cir
cles that John Bright will retire from
public life at the end of the present year
possibly at the formal celebration of
his ''silver wedding" with the town of
Birmingham. which he has represented in
the house of commons ever since August,
1857. This much is quite certain, that at
present he is under total eclipse.
A London cablegram says: Mr.. John
Bright continues to be attacked sharply
by the leading radical journals for de-
claring the Egyptian war to be unjust
and unnecessary" The caucus is against
him, and it is even said that at the next
election he will lose his seat for Birming-
ham just as he lost his seat for Manches-
ter at the time of the Crimean war. Some
papers, indeed threaten to drum the ex-
chancellor: of the duchy of Lancaster ont
of the party!
The corner stone of the Pilgrim church

of different denominations. Tho box that
was placed beneath the stone contained

At the meeting of the Mailing Board of
Guardians in London, application was
made by widow named Goodale, living
at Aylesford, near Maidstone, for relief.
A fortnight ago her husband, laborer,
boosted that he conId drink any amount of
spurious liquor. Some person took him
to public house to test him. There he
succeeded in swallowing half pint of

A young man in an Illinois town stepped
into church door moment one Sunday
while the services we're going on, and the
smart minister saw him and shouted, $50
out, young man, she is not here" The
young man was embarrassed for moment,
and then remembering the several ministe-
rial scandals that were in the courts, he
said loud enough for all to hear him Eyes
she is, you old dufer. You have got her
hid behind the organ; and you want to go
home with her yourself ~ The minister
blushed and said the services would close
by singing the doxology.
The London Daily Telegraph of Oct. Z,
has very foolish article on American
politics, expressing fears that the success
of the Democratic party would bode ill for
England. Your London cotemporary-
which POUNDS its article on a quotation
from an obscure weekly paper-insists that
the Democratic party includes ''the Dyna-
miters and Fenians, broods of assassins
from Russia. and the gangs ofiSocialists and
Communists from Germany and France"
and it adds that s'all of these the Democrat
ic party will have to humor if it is to win
the day." This is the sort of stuff with
which this cockney journal regales its read
ers.
The Catholic Colonization society of the
United States is actively and effectively at
work. The society is stock company,
having capital of 100000, and among
its directors are several bishops as we'll as
prominent Catholic laymen. The object

people out of the crowded cities, and To-
cate them in comfortable Western homes.
The society has purchashed lands in Min
nesota and Nebraska and divided them up
into farms. Some eight or ten colonies
have been established i. Minnesota, COM
posed of about 5000 families. The socie-
ty has, in fact, established il. this way, ag-
ricultural villages having schools, churches
and priests.
Mr.. Jennings, the London correspon-
dent of the New York World, sends cable
gram to that journal in reference to an
apprehended comet smash up next year.
He says: The comet is all the talk in
scientific circles at present, and may say
that our celestial visitant" is being re-
garded with considerable apprehension.
Mr.. Richard A. Proctor, who denied that it
was the comet of 1843 and 1880, now finds
that he made a mistake in his calculations.
and so has withdrawn his statement. More
cautious astronomers than he have no
doubt of the identity of the comet, and be-
lieve that it will return at the latest in
Oct. 1883, and then fall into the sun
with results which will enable you to dis
pense with the future publication of the
World. I am assured that this is the
opinion of the most eminent scientists of
