health all forenoon, but while in his engine
room, about noon, he suddenly swooued
away. While insensibls he was carried to
his state-room, but soon revived and was able
to speak. Medical aid was summoned, and
the physician thought he would coon be well
again, but scarcely had that gentleman gone
when, after directing the second engineer to
get up steam to start as usual down the
bayou al 3 O'Clock, he had a second attack
of apopleIy, which completely parslyzed
his tongue. He tried hard to speak again
but it was impossible, and few moments
later he died. The shock to his family was
so great that Mrs. Bonney has since been Sc

courtesy and Poliieness of officials.

A London correspondent of the Hartford
Courant says: "Pri haps | may close ram
bling gossipy letter with an example of the
exactness and fairness with which the rail
way business is Conducted here. Four gen.
glemen, among whom was Mr.. John Gallup,
of Hartford, the deservedly popular organ
ist of the South church, bought tickets at
the Waterloo Station for Windsor. They
called for second-class tickets, paid for them,
received them, and rode in second-class cars.
On buying. tickets 10 return, they made the
discovery that they had paid, going out, for
first-class, though they had received second
class tickets. Ga arriving al Waterloo Sta
zion, this fact was made known at the Office.
The official OF whom the tickets were bought
was not there. The gentlemen could not re-
member the eslor OF their tickete, but simply
stated the facts. Their address was taken,
and twenty-four hours after they received a
very polite note containing an acknowledg-
ment of error and postofice order for some
four shillings, which was the excess Of fare
they bad paid: 1t was a small matter, but
it speaks pretty we'll for the system Of bust,
ness and for the courtesy and politeness Of
fhe officials"

The Dublin Crime.

Until investigation shall have shown
the contrary, we shall still hold to the
belief that the the assassination OF Lord
Cayendish and Mr.. Burke, in all OF its
stages from the conception of the idea to
the perpetration of the outrageous crime,
has been the work of a very few men.
Had the late Chief Secretary, MIR. Fors-
ter, been the victim, a plot OF some
standing in point of time might well be
suspected, but mis- unfortunate successor
was a new man whose character was un-
known to the Irish people, while con-
cerning the identity of his person, as the
telegraph has informed us, there was ey-
ident doubt
All of the unhappy outrages IN
Ireland have been committed ON
the persons of individuals who
had rendered themselves obnoxious
to a few men in some particular locality.
There has never been the slightest evil
dence of any deep-rooted and wide
spread association, such as that of the
Nihilists of Russia, for the commission
of murder. Either the murder of Lord
Cavendish was because of his mistaken
identity, or the crime was suddenly
planned, and as quickly perpetrated by
q few mentor the shortness of the time
elapsing between the arrival of the Chief
Secretary in Dublin, and his death, pre-
cludes any belief in a general conspiracy.
As we said yesterday, it was an act SIM
liar to that of Wilkes Booth.
And, Just as the crime of Wilkes
Booth resuAed in oppressive acts, due
to re-awakened partisan fanaticism, in
ficted upon the people of the South,
who had no hand in the taking-of of
Lincoln, so, it is to be feared, the act OF
these four Irish assassins may become
the second parent of ills to the innocent
people. This has been foreshadowed III
the speech of Mr.. Gladstone communi-
eating the sad tidings to the House of
Commons. Whatever the virtues of
Mr.. Gladstone may be, vacillation has
ever been one of his most prominent
faiiings, and never has this character
istic been displayed in a more glaring
manner than in the policy which he has
pursued toward Ireland. \ He has
adopted by turns force and Cancellation,
and now intends to resort to force again.
On Saturday the premier announced
that, on the part of the government
''all previous arrangements must be re
cast, and gave notice of an intention to
introduce bill for the repression OF
crime in Ireland, and of another meas
ure concerning the arrears of rent in
that country. This latter notice shows
clearly the animus of Mr.. Gladstone in
the policy which he is about to adopt,
and what the condition of Ireland may
be by the close of the present month no
man may venture to predict.

HERE is chance for the enterprising
capitalist. In his paper, the Christian
Union, of New York, Mr.. Henry Ward
Beecher clamors for only a half a mill
ion of the wonderful little almond
eyed workers; of China, and wants them
at once" As, when Mr.. Beecher was on
this coast, not many months ago, he
made thorough inspection of the Chi
nese quarter of San Francisco, he GER
tainly knows what he wants and why he
wants it. Let some one obtain a con-
tract from Mr.. Beecher and then enter
into negotiations with the Six Compa-
MES. The contractor may not be able
to supply to the full extent Mr.. Beech
er's demand but can certainly furnish
him with quite choice lot of Mongol-
ians, at low figure, for the market here
is overstocked.
