The Father of One Thousand Chill.
dren.

London Globe.
An old man has just died in Vienna
whose name deserves to be chronicled
in all lands for the singular goodness
Of his life. Ferdinand Reidt has been
known in his own city as "the Father
of the Orphans" for nearly half CEN
tury. He was a man OF considerable
means, and was happily married, but
it was a great grief to him and his
wife that they continued to be child
less. Herr Reidt said to his wife:
"Since we are not to have children of
our own, can we not be parents to
some OF those who are fatherless and
motherless?" He was a man of action.
and began at once to carry his concep-
ton into practice. He commenced
with taking fatherly charge of two or
three orphans, but his zeal and repute
increased to such an extent that at the
time of his death he was the legal
guardian of more than a thousand
fatherless children. Those whom he
adopted in this manner were not ftful-
ly taken up and then let drop, but he
kept conscientious watch and ward
over them from their early education
until their marriage or their start in
adult life at the close of their appren-
ticeship. He never sought fame or
publicity, and took no credit to him
self for his devotion to those who had
no natural claim upon him. Now that
he is departed however, everyone
speaks of his singular life, its quiet
ness, and yet restless energy, its con.
scientiousness and severe fidelity to his
selfimposed obligations. He began by
asking as favor to be accepted as the
honorary guardian" of two or three
orphans, and the calling which he had
thus taken up for his own satisfaction,
as he put it, was in time regarded by
many Of his fellow-citizens as sort Of
official occupation which he was bound
to fulfill. Herr Rheldt had an especial
tenderness toward illegitimate chill
dren, who, from no fault of their OVID,
started life under heavy shadow.
His courage was equal to his tender
ness. When he could discover the
father of an illegitimate child, he would
seek the man out and deal plainly with
him as to the duty which he had in
CURED by his sin. In this way he often
compelled fathers to look after their
own children, who would otherwise
have fallen under the hard discipline
of the official guardians of such unwel-
come additions to the population.

PREPARATIONS are already being made for
the approaching meeting of the British par
Lament, and the ministry are determined to
avoid the scandal and reproach of the last
session by Introducing the cloture, which, if
adopted, will enable Mr. Gladstone to shut of
debate at any moment on the vote of bare ma
jority. This is not only contrary to the tradi-
tions, but to the spirit and practice OF the
house of commons, and will hardly find JUS
tifcation ia the adroit obstructive manage
ment of the Irish Land Leaguers. A weighty
objection, as the London correspondent Of
the New York World pointsout, is the danger
to which it exposes the minority. 10 these
days when political boulerersemeats are the
rule, when the country changes lis political
views at every general election and returns
first one party and then the other by tremen-
dous majorIties, such weapon in the hands
OF an unscrupulous minister might be used
with disastrous effect These Obi ctions, are
entertained by many leading lib
erals for although Mr.. Gladstone is in
power 10 day it may be Lord Salisbury S
turn tomorrow, and they do not relish the
idea of haviug the cloture applied TO them
by tory majority, 1t is said, however, that
Mr.. Gladstone is determined 10 make it a
question Of confidence, and his leading sup
porters say ne will dissolve parliament if the
house does not consent to it. Ibis he may
have an opportunity OF doing. The conseIva-
t'ves are in favor of general revision of the
rules OF the house, with the view Of putting
an end 10 Irish obstruction, but they will
oppose the cloture as erdangering freedom Of
debate.

RUM THE CAUSE.
The COrOner's Jury at the Scene of the
Spuyten Duyvel Disaster-The
Testimony of
The Conductor and Engineer - The
Train stopped by Passengers
A Disgraceful Affair.

NEW YORK, January ia coroner's jury
visited the scene OF the Spuyten Duyvel dis
aster this morning, and the brakeman, Geo
Milieus, who is charged with causing the ac-
cident by his neglect, was started from the
point on the railroad track where the last car
OF the Chicago express stood, and proceeded
to the spot where, according to his state
ment, he tagged the Tarrytown train. The
time he took TO go that distance was about
two minutes. The jury then boarded the
train and were taken over the course of the
Tarrytown train before it ran into the ex-
press. The jury then returned to the city.
The taking of testimony will probably begin
this afternoon.
THE TESTIMONY.
Taking testimony began this afternoon.
George Hannafred, conductor of car No. 8,
OF the train which was run into. repe ated
the story of the lateness OF his train, ETC
witness said further, it was his impression
that the stopping of the train was caused by
some person not connected with il, who ap-
piled the air-brakes. On being asked why
he thought the train was stopped bv some Of
the passengers, he said he surmised that such
was the case; "for," said he, "there
was boisterous party on the train. sing
ing, smashing hats, and conducting
themselves in very disgraceful manner
they we're passing around bottles of whisky,
and the foundation of that accident was rum /;
he had not sufficient help on the train to
stop such proceeding; among the passengers
were any number of ex-coroners, senator's,
assemblymen and aldermen, and he could
not deprive them of their bottle; this was an
every day occurrence, but more especially so
Friday.
Frank Burr, engineer OF the Tarry-
town train, testified that he had passed
three hundred and fifty feet of the
cut before he saw Mileus; his train was rum
ming at the speed of twenty miles an hour;
the brakeman he saw was standing about
thirty-ive feet from the rear OF his train /;
there was one signal man in the cut; but in
the cut the engineer could not see the signal
over fifty feet away; had he seen the brake
man as he emerged from the cut he could
have stopped his train in time; he was on
the right side of his engine, and on the curve
the smoke-stack and sand-box interfered
with his view.
Adjourned until tomorrow.

THE COMMITTEE SELECTED.


PARIS, January ia committee consist
ing of thirty three members of the chamber
of deputies to examine the bill for the revis-
ion OF the constitution has been selected. 1t
contains large majority OF advocates for a
general instead of a restricted revision of
the constitution, who are also opposed to
the insertion of the principle of scru-
tin de Este in the constitution. Thirty
two of the thirty-three members of the
committee on the revision of the constitu-
ton are hostile to the government bill. The
voting for tn m in the bureaux was in the
proportion OF two to one against the gov
ernment. The ministerial journals state
that the government will make the adoption
of the bill a cabinet question and will refuse
to accept any modification. The members
OF the cabinet are firmly resolved to resign
unless the chambers adopt the whole of the
revision of the bill.
TREMENDOUS PANIC on THE PARIS BoURsE.
LONDON, January ia dispatch to the
Netcs from Paris says: There was tre-

Union Generate shares fell 1300f. A number
of Lyons spectators have been ruined.
No financial disaster is known in Paris,
but all depends upon the ultimate position
of the Union Generate, whose great hackers
are all in strong positions. The crisis will
only touch speculators." ......... A later dis
patch from Paris says that the panic has not
been equaled since the 18th OF April, 1877
The last straw came from Lyons When the
failure of the Lyons ct Loire was announced
the panic affected every stock and share in
the market.

of the statement had been made. There was
no word of regret, and there was no knowing

his statement. The report was not accepted
nor was the committee discharged, and the
whole matter was laid on the table for

EGYPT is likely to give England and
France more trouble than they bargained
for when in 1879 they jointly assumed the
management of her affairs. The Egyptians
have had their jealousy aroused by the oc-
cupatiou of Cyprus by the British and of
Tunis by the French. This practically in
closes them, and they think is not only a
menace to their peace but to their existence.
The Italian government, growing more jeal-
Gus Of this joint ascendancy of England and
France in the Mediterranean, has addressed
a note to the British ministry on the exclu-
zion of Italy from the collective action of
those powers in regard to Egypt, step in
which she is sustained by Austria and Ger
many, both these powers acknowledging that
this exclusion ia unfavorable to the main
tenance Of the balance OF power.
