The citv has nobIy weathered the Fourth
ofIuIv and isnow ga~theringupits strength TO
rrraztIe with the invading horde OF knights
TemDlar who are to descend upon Us next
month. The long talked Of Garfield statue
al the Golden Gate Park is to he unveiled
to amuse these respected guests and doubt
less the city hall and the Palace Hotel will
be burnt to the ground in their honor If
demonstration seems TO flag. General
Crook Is safe in Washington whence come
reports that the department Is, on the
whole, pleased with his Indian exploits,
but one Barrett Gibbs, State Senator OF
Dallas, Texas, turned everything on its
head again,a as il were,by returning from an
extended trip in Mexico, and imparting IN
an interview that the residents Of the
scenes Of Crooks exploits smile audibly at
the newspaper accounts of the good gem
tleman's campaign, and the question Is
again before u, "Did Crook capture the
Apaches or did the APaches capture
Crook.
POLITICAL.
Political gossip Is already rife about Pres
idential candidates. There is said to be no
doubt that two New Workers are in the
feId-Chester 4. Arthur and Samuel J..
TiIden. In the case of the latter the old
ticket Tilden and Hendricks will be re-
vived, the one that was beaten by Hayes
in 1876. Although Arthur has not author
lied anyone To announce thai ne has de-
cided TO submit himself a. a candidate to
the Republican Nationa / Convention, he
talks of the plan with his intimates and
his proposed western trip looks as if he had
in view n broader ac quaintance with the
people. 1t is telegraphed that Dana of the
New York Sun said i'm an interview that if
il Law with him to decide who should be
President, William ;. Holman, of Indiana
would be the man. When asked on what
issues he thought the fight would be waged
he replied rather wittily, 1.-THE Democrats
will fight TO put the Republicans out and
the Republicans will fight to keep them
selves in"
Thurman of Ohio and Judge Field of Cal
ifornia, are talked Of a. hopeful Democratic
candidates, especially the latter, whose
probity in deciding certain cases involving
popular feeling, according to- the law,
without regard to pc litical bearings, has
greatly endeared him to the solid and
thoughtful men of his party. A comic de-
scriptiOn of Tilden's personal appearance is
given by one of the Free lances of the Re
publican party, who compared him to a
mythical old woman who went to have an
aching tooth taken out. The dentist found
the tooth obstinate and applying all his
strength jerked out the complete bony
structure of his patient, whose fiabby resi-
due the foxy Sammy ]. is said to
EUROPEAN.
All over Europe a porten tOus calm
reigns, an OminOus and deceitful lull, fol-
lowing upon the excitement of dynamite
and anarchy that was seething among the
lower classes a month ago. The Irish con-
spiratOrs have been convicted and SEN
fenced to Imprisonment and heavy fines.
Carey, the infOrmer in the case of n Irish
murders has been turned upon the world
which il is feared will prove cold and I'M
sympathetic towards him. The English gov
ernment has simply used him and thrown
him away, giving him neither reward nor
protection. Meantime the bill granting an
English man the legal right to- marry his
deceased wife's sister has been defeated
with much Outcry from the Bishops after
much persistent pushing from the Princes
Of the royal family, who, not being allow
ed To vote on political questions, throw
themselves with redoubled arIor into any
moral or social debate like the present.
The example of the United States was used
on both sides. Earl Dalhousie saying that

banefuI results i'm America, and Lord
Cairns in the opposition retOrting that they
had only American testimony for that, and
that Americans always cried up their own
institutions
Queen Victoria has caught up "A neat
little vengeance on Gladstone for refusing
10 send her younger hopeful Prince Leo
pold as Governor to Canada, vice Lorne
bored out. She has refused to bestO W the
order of KnighthOOd upon Henry Irving,
the tragedian because she was asked to do
80 by the Prince of Wales who is the sworn
friend of Gladstone. Now she looks tri-
umphantly Overat the Premier as one who
says, ~ have a few prerogatives left, you
perceive The Duke of Marlborough died
on the 5th and his son, the naughty, |
naughty Marquis of Blandford reigns in
his ~stead-naughty because he is the bold
adventurous man who ran away with Lady
Ellsworth about half a dozen years ago.,
and still remains, like Sir LancelOt,
falsely true" to that faith unfaithful and
honor rooted ia dishOnOr,' for not only
was his lady love married already, but he
himself had a fair Marchioness, one of
those eleven beautiful sisters, by tie way,
whom Beaconsfield idealizel in his 10th
air. Lord Randolph Churchill, another of !
the Duke of Marlborough sons, and mar
riedt to our American beauty, Miss Zero me
that was, has handed to Gladstone the af-
hdavits and other document in support of
his assertion that the Khedive melted the
massacre of English residents i'm AleXan-
dria, and an anxious public awaits develop
ments, but a more terrible occupation than
that by the English is paralyzing Egg pit,
namely the cholera of which the raYages
are undated, according to the last dis
patches. There have been now over 1000
deaths at Cairo, the Egyptian Government
has accepted the offer of England to send
twelve skilled doctors to the infected dis
trict. II was decided to form a Gordon
round Alexandria to prevent the influx OF
refugees from the infected districts, and the
European powers are increasing quarantine
