THE MAN ON THE AVENUE.
Small Talk About Men and Measures.

Two mysteries hang over the treasury build
ing and opprcss the people in several depart
ments. The first and most important is the
sudden and unexplained absence of Secretary
Folger, and the second is the inexplicable dis
appearance of those charges against Super
vising Architect Hill about which such a
commotion was raised recently. Speaking
of tho secretary's absence, q treasury
official said last evening: "There is
no occasion for alarm. Mr.. Folger is of age
aud knows what he wants. He has not taken
me into his confidence any moro than he has
the general public, but it is my humble
opinion that he has gone of on little cruise
on the revenue cutter Ewing to escape the
opportunities of Wall street borrowers who
have been appealing to him for Gods sake to
come to their rescue and save them from
ruin by anticipating the next payment of
interest on government bonds. An i'm
preston has found lodgment in the popular
mind that IL Is time for Wall street to
begin padding its own canoe, and the
secretary is doubtless impregnated with the
same very disagreeable notion. The country
at large don't care If the Wall street money
sharks have to pay 16 per cent. minute for
money. The United States treasury is not
their guardian, and it is in no manner ac-
countable for their transactions. 1t is not re-
qured to insure them against loss or assist
them when they bite of more than they can
chew. This, mind you, is only my own opin-
ion and the reason have given for Secre-
tary Folger's sudden departure may be as wide
of the mark as it is possible for any guess to
be, but you can use it for what it is worth.
81 did hear" he observed, by way of a
postscript, that the secretary will be at
his post again tomorrow, only having
started for a two days cruise. This informa-
tion is apparently straight but would not
be surprised to learn that the two days
lengthen into five or six, and by that time
the arrival of cargo of British gold in New
York will have loosened up the money mar
ket."

LADY FLORENCE DIXIE says the men in
female apparel who assaulted her spoke no
brogue, which is intended to support her
previous declaration that her assailants were
not Irishmen. As we have no other testi-
mony but hers of the occurrence why not
consider that conclusive and seek some other
cause against the Irish?
In relation to the explosion at the govern
ment building in London there is not an iota
of evidence that Irishmen had anything to do
with it. Is there no English criminal class
to which these crimes, with others of daily
occurrence, can be charged? The frothy
opinions of Irishmen in New York are not
presumptive evidence of facts of which they
have no knowledge.

AN Irish archbishop writes to the lord lieu
tenant Of Ireland, on behalf of the Catholic
bishops of that distressed country, that the
action of the British government in insisting
that the faminc-strickon people shall enter
the warehouses; in order to secure relief 4" is
an outrage ON humanity and covert system
of oxterminating the native race" 1t is to
bc hoped that individual crimes in Ireland,
however revolving, will not deprive the
people there of the worlds sympathy, or be
regarded as justifying the British government
tween exile and refuge in the workhouse.

SINCE our last issue the papers inform us
that Secretary Folger has fed the country,
that Senator Cameron is convalescing and will
accompany the President to Fortress Monroe
and that the President will not so to Fortress
Monroe at all, but will go to his Soldiers
Home cottage. The quiet movements of Sec,
retary Folgcr to secure little needed reposc
are hcralded in much the same style as was
tho flight of Patrick Egan from Dublin tc
Paris. And yet there is every reason to be-
lieve that all is right at the department.

WHILE the discussion is going on of the
necessity of promoting the education Of the

be given to the need of also improving their
character. How this can bo done IT is not
easy to say. But whatever will break down
shams and swiudles on tho people, that it is

is stopuncture great bladdcrs of fraud, and en-

Miss Carrie Swain is brilliant young SOU
brette, who sings remarkably we'll, dances

the principal part in as thoroughly wretched
a play as ever was patched together.
When so much has been said, the story is
told. 1t is a vast pity so bright and
highly gifted q girl has not better material to
work with. "Mab" simply indicates what
she might do. 1t is inconsequent where it is
not coarse improbable where it is not
absurd; slangy where it is not sappy ;
and altogether foolish where it is
not unpleasant The entertainment is worth
hearing for all that, because Miss Swain is
worth hearing-and seeing too for that mat

AN EASTER SHAME.
A Sect of ''penitcnts'' accommodated
from the Roman church.

Los GRiEGos. n. NJ, March 2j.-As the
procession of lIermanog pcnitents reached the
the goal (Which was an adobe hut) yesterday,
they were compelled to cross with bare feet a
space thiclly strewn with cacti plant. One
of the cross bearers hesitated, when a half
dozen whips descended on his bare shoulders
and with bound he sprang into the cacti, his
feet at every step, and those of his followers,
being marked with blood. AS the torture
grew more terrible the chant grew louder and
the thongs fell with more vigor. Reaching
the door the party was los, sight Ola sentinel
guarding the entrance and only broken whips
and pools of blood bear witness to what
took place within. Issuing from the house
the procession turned to the house of wor-
ship and the horrifying exercise continued, one
batch of the penitents succeeding another
until night, when a grand procession and
chant wound up the exercises Tor the day.
During the marches to and from the house of
refuge. the scene at times was too sckcning
for description, Powerful mcn submitted
Their bodies to the most merciless ilagelation
until in some instances the muscles were seen
to culver at every blow. The whole pro-
ceeding was savage attempt to honor the
Easter season. Hitherto no attempt has
been made to check the cXcicis,, although
once pentent who threw another bearing a
cross into the river near San Juan and drown
ed him, was lynched by Infatuated witnesses.
The sect originally numbered 1000 in the ter
ritory and belonged to the Catholic church,
but was communicated for its barbarOus
action.
