AMONG THE
The Latest Talk About sIade, Mace and
Sullivan.

A New York special says: The return Of
Mace and Slads to New York has revived
the subject of a meeting within the twenty
four-foot ring between John L. Sullivan and
the Maori. Some time ago an agreement
was entered into between Messrs. Smith and
Rice, acting on behalf of Sullivan and Slade,
for an escounter with the gloves, TO take
place at Madison Square Garden. This fell
through, owing to the rent of the building
being doubled, aud Rice declining 10 agree
to the payment OF $1,000. Mace now states
that Rice was not acting with any authority
In the matter, and that he is not willing to
allow Slsde to meet anyone unless the receipts
are equally shared. Sullfvan's principal cup
porter holds the key 10 me sitHation, and he
informed a reporter last night that i, was no
use for Mace or anyone else attempting to
get better terms for q match with Sullivan
than thirty-hve per cent. of the receipts. The
American champion, he claimed, is the great
attraction, and as N ace and Shade had fund
when they were here before that they could
not fill the house as Sullivan coIlo, il was
only right tina The star should get the Greater
share Of the receipts. Sullivan had plenty
OF remunerating engagements at present, and
had just completed arrangements for & grand
entertainment at Boston, at which ne would
probably meet Paddy Ryan. The latter had
been offered tine Sullivan term, OF thirty-6ve
per cent. and his acceptance of them was ex-
pected at any moment. As there ia no pos.
sibility OF making a match with Sullivan on
any other terms han those stated, Mace Il
Co., will have to sgr,e to them if Slade is 10
meet the champion. Mace says he will meet
Mitchell, but there is nothing TO that offer,
as the latter is now 10 California.

A Scene or Hom,n pe~-.a.,,s..

Mrs. Scoti-Stevensop, in her On Summer
Seas, gives the following account of a Rus
sian pilgrimage to the shrine OF S.. Niche
las, at Bari, in Italy: "They were all DIRE ssed
in a kind of uniform, the men iu gray, bare
footed, with staffs slung over their shoulders,
on which were tied bundles of clothes and a
pair OF boots; the women wore blue serge
skirts, gray jackets, and red handkerchief
round their heads, and, like the men, carried
bundl,s, with a water bottle and tin mug, On
their backs. They were all slowly crawling
up the steps with bleeding knees and torn
n travel-3tained garments, muttering
prayers and endless ~litsnits as they toiled
upward. On entering the church we saw a
shocking eight, 80 painful that L hesitate TO
describe it. Four pilgrims were on their
knees, with their heads bent down to the
ground in the most unnatural attitude, their
eyes shut, and the swollen veins standing out
like cords from their crimsoned FORE
heads. A man walked by the side Of
each, holding ore end of a hsncker-
chief, while the wreiched penitent held
the other, and. was thus guided along
the pavement. For a few seconds we did not
realize what was taking piscs, but as they
crawle6 inward we noticed four marks like
a dark ribbon behind them, and it dawned
on u they were actually licking the foor!

civilized human beings had been in the

their tongues On the rough pavement, over
every pollution that came in their way. We

they at last reached the altar steps and were
permitted to rise. Their faces haunt me
still; the small cunning eye, turning STEALTH

the half shamefaced, half-ferocious look; the
coarse, dirt-smeared features, the matted
heads of hair, and the lolling lacerated
tongues bleeding over their chins. And

wretches, looking like scared wild beastsl
What religion can that be which permits

The New York Bullion is about to publish
a railroad digest for the year, With maps,
which will be filled with important s~tatisti-
cal and financial Information. From a
summary forwarded to the APPEAL by Btd-
lion, we learn that there are 1898 American
railroads 10 operation. The first Elk months
Of 1888 showed wonderful railroad vitality,
with a potable increase in earnings, notwiIh-
standing q marked decrease in rates. During
the FIRST ak months Of the year 2O32 miles Of
railroad were constructed, against 4lSl miles
for the same time lssl year, and 1917 miles
in 1881. There are now 5000 miles in course
OF construction, and twice as much more pro-
iected. The earnings of the last new roads
built have stimulated further building.
During the five years succeeding 1873 we
constructed 1900 miles OF railroad;
an June, 1881, 1000 miles we're under con-
struction, and over 10000 protected. In
the market the price OF stocks has
been going steadily downward. Taking
twenty-five per cent. as the decline Of stock
and half that average in bonds, and there is
Q gross decline in railread securities o.
81 600, 100000 in the last two year,, a conse-
quence Of public mislrust and Of a general
decline In all kinds of marketable property,
40 that prices are twenty per cent. below the
rates of 1881. This, therefore, is regarded
by many fnancialisls ss . favorable time to
buy in expectation Of recovery; but that de-
pends upon how much the real value Of
stares wss exaggerated 10 the prices 10 which
the securities had been forced up 10 1881.
However this may be, the general public re-
gard securities at the r,sent time very I'M
favorably, and operations are in q good
measure confined 10 the speculaiions of the
habitual operators.

IMe TELRakAPHIo STRIFE AND
POsTORFICE AMALGAMATION.

The strike OF the telegraph operators has
spFead a feeling Of dismay throughout the
c -Intry, because every interest in it, public
aul private, is affected. The public affairs
Of the nstional and State governments, the
v st commercial interest Of the country, and
C .nmunicstion between private citizens, are
a / concerned. So bound up is the welf.re
OF the people in the regular operation of the
tt egraph administration, that any important
i, %terruption of it rises to the hight of q
Calamity. A strike in a particular business
affects only special interests. A strike like
the present one affects all interests. That
the operators have a full right to strike
against what they consider inadequate wages,
or against over labor or acts Of oppression is
~indisputable. Every mar has the right to
demand for his services what he estimates
them to be worth, and to refuse to render
them for what he considers deficient
remuneration. The employer, also, has
the right to refuse his demands. There
are recognized and legal rights. In the
case Of telegraph companies, however, there
are circumstances that do not enter into the
case of ordinsys ~.~nlavers Of labor. They

them, Jose Casalta, pulled out one OF those
Valencian knives, the blades Of which are a
foot long, and plunged 1t six ames into the
breas Of his companion. One of the warders,
named Manuel Fernandez. rushed up and
tried 10 seize the murderer, who was too
quick for him, however, as he turned round
and in q trice stabbed the warder TO the
heart. Two other warders were attracted to
the spot by The noise, and the sentinel on duty
called out for further aid. Jose Casslts, in
he meanwhile, had worked himself up into
a paroxysm of fury, and was rushing about,
dealing thrusls with his knife right and left,
his clothing hanging in ribbons about him,
and his face besmeared with blood. The
sentinel attempted to shoot him down, but
bis musket missed fire, and Casalta, rushing
on him like a tiger, literally disemboweled
him. A corporal of the guard, who arrived
upon the scene at this moment, succeeded in
disabling the Infuriated wretch with a bsyo-
net, but even after he had been wounded it
was found almost impossible to secure him.
He died OF his wounds, in the infirmsry OF
the prison, two hours afterwsrd.

Probable Cow,

describes Bertha Morgan, a Jersey COW, froa
whose milk during a mid-wInter month over
nineteen pounds Of golden butter was made
She was sold to the president of the Cana.

that a COW at this valuation is not profitable
for ordinary dairy purposes. A prominent
Delawa are dairy firm readily obtains seventy

NEW PUBLICATIONS.

MANY people regret the fact that the
treasures of foreign literature are inaccessible
to them because they have not mastered for
eign languages sufficiently TO be able to read
in the original. To such people the Modern

able translaiions are opening up rich stores
of TACT and fiction which have hitherto lain
unexplored by the great mass OF American
readers. The August number, for instance,
