James Gordon Bennett arrived from Eu-
rope yesterday morning. His intention was
TO return in his new steam yacht Namouna
as soon as she mad made her trial trip and
had been provisioned. He was greatly dis
appointed to ind that she was not ready, as
he expected to have her completed nearly
two months ago. 1t is thought she will be
ready to come down the river from Newburg
toward the latter end of the week. Then Mr.
Bennett will make trial trip in her, and if
she fuIfilIs his expectations he will provision
her and sail at once on an extended cruise
to the Azores and Canary Islands with
party of friends. The Namouna is larger
than the first steamer that ever crossed the
Atlantic She is 277 feet over all, % feet
beam and 700 tons burden. Engines, boilers,
and machinery, and fittings OF all kinds are
OF the most improved pattern, and the
luxurious manner in which she is furnished
surpasses that of even royal pleasure yachts.

THE GREAT SENATORIAL "IF"
&PEkCH.


| Senator Brown, of Georgia, has made a
speech in connection with The tariff discus.
sion that is hailed by the monopolisis ard
| their followers as a mastery and triumphant
defense of the protection system. 1t is a
pleasure to an opponent OF that system to
read a s4seca thas Z viewed by the advocates
of that oIio7 &c : fall and adequate repre-
sentative e x ysirciP;es, because he learns
from it bcv is;e1Iasse'as all hat can be said
in favor of the protective thrift is to support
what is indefensible on the one eide and 10
reply to what is unanswerabls on the other.
Doubts have been expressed as to whether
the English grammar contains conditional
tense; it is to be hoped it DOGS, for without a
subjunctive mood where would Mr.. Browns
speech rank as logical production? Let
any reader of it draw pe1cil-mark under
each "ifD as he comes tokit, then survey
it at the end, and he will find the marks
lying as thick as sprigs IA piece of lace,
proving that this Is the great "if" speech of
the present session of Congress, and that Mr..
Brown is the champion hypotheticalist Of
the United States Senate. That senator
must be a lineal descendant of that great
genius who made the confident assertion,
which has never been overihrown, that if
chickens flew about ready roasted, with
plate IN their bliIs, knife under one wing
and fork under the other calling, "coms
and eat me-" nobody need be in want of a
dinner. The object of the reform of the
tariff now so vigorously demanded by the
people is to reduce its extr1Fagant rates, to
tquslize what is irregular, and 70 favor the
importation of raw material needed in our
manufacr ures. Not word upon these subjects
said Mr.. Hypothetical Brown. He laid before
the Senate hypothetical free trade, by
which import duties are ch,rgedou nothing,
and all the $500, OOO. 900 to 100000

made by taxing every citizens land, and

stepping out between the acts, pushed and
jostLed their way past dozen ladies, and
we're brought up at a sharp turn by an old

Planting his knees against the front seat and
holding the young fellows as in a wise, he
said: IF You must go out TO get drink, TO
the great annoyance of every one near you,
will buy each of you bottle OF whisky,
mounted with rag full Of sugar, so you
may suck it during the rest of the perform
ance." The boys fastened out, amid the
loud laughter Of at least three rows of peo-
pie, and upon their return they sneaked in
at the other end of the row. They didn't
go out again until the performance was over.

The Chinese sorrow for the Bill.

There IL Chinese side TO the veto not
generally known. A correspondent OF the
New York Times, writing from San Fran
cisco, says: The strangest part Of il all Is
that the Chinese themselves are the most
disappointed, and bewail the failure of the
bill more than any one else. They had, in
anticipation OF its passage, procured gun,
from which they were going 10 fire 100
rounds / asked Wong, our Chinese cook,
what he thought about it before the veto).
Wong wsgged his head with satisfied air
and remarked: 'All Cinnamon here heep
glad-Iike 'um-' Why said l. OH s'pose
more Cinnamon workee too muchee cheap.
j no calchee S25 for cookee. Too muchee
Cinnamon i no catchee so mnchee money
Wong took selfish view Of the situation. {"
All of which shows that there IL a deal OF

The Rev. James II Pullmsu's sermon, de-
livered in New York last Sunday: Woman's
worst enemy is false sentimentalisrn, drawn
from tradition and Literature, and fostered by
that most despicable OF all beings, the woman
hatterer. Aimlessress and friyolity, vanity
and folly, are thus produced and fed, and
empty hours, empty hands, empty compsn-
ions, empty words, empty hearts-these draw
in evil spirits as a vacuum sucks in air.
That something for which We have no better
name than conventionalIsm-the bondage OF
custom-is another great stumblirg-block in
womsn's way. Women have fine eourages,
and in the courage of endurance they seem
FAR superior to man, but IN the courage of
their opinions and convictions they are, with
some splendid exceptions, greatly lacking

In the APPEAL of Sunday last we pub
lished letter purporting to have been written
by DR.. Benz min Franklin to Thomas Paine
in condemnation of his proposed publication
against the Bible. This letter attracted the
attention of Major Minor Meriwether, and
in the APPEAL of the 18th instant he en-
phaticaliy denies the authenticity Of the let
ter attributed to DIR. Franklin, and with
equal emphasis asserts that DIR. Franklin
"ras himself an infdel, as was J. fferson."
We have not taken the trouble to investigate
the genuiueness of the letter which Major
Meriwether pronounces forgery, but it can
be established by the writings of Jtfferson
that he was not an inhdel, and the following
speech delivered by BENJAMIN franklin in
the convention for forming constitution for
the United States, 1887, vindicates the great
philosopher and statesman from the charge
that he was an infidel:
In the beginning of the contest with Britain.
