LONDON, May 26.-AEery exciting scene
occurred to-day at the railway station at
Dover, shortly after the arrival ofthc steam

received telegram from Calais informing
them that two men had embarked there for

fully, and giving description Of the men.
Several detectives were at once sent 70 the
dock to await the arrival Of the steamer and
arrest the men. The latter eluded the de-
,ectives until the train was about leaving
tor London, when they rushed into the sta
ton and boarded the train while il wss
leaving the depot A couple Of detectives
on the lookout for them at the station seized
hold Of the men, who clung TO the running
train, and desperate struggle ensued, both
officers and men being dragged cousidea-
bic distance. The detectives finally secured
their prisoners and took them TO the police
station, where a search was made. and q
quantity of dynamite found in their
possession. They were brought to London
and an inquiry in regard 20 their case insti-
tinted. At the Bow street Police Court they
gave their names as Eugene Turpin and
Eugene Lauer. They said they were
French chemists, living in Rue Victoria,

in their possession was samples brought

said they were well known 10 the French
Embassy and could summon members Of

after, the Times might very truly have re-
marked that they were suffering from an IN
usual case of 'bust-head.7 The Kansas City
journal, in a review of the contest and its re
suit, says:
''The battle between free trade and the
American system has been fought in Kansas,
and the victory for protection is overwhelm-
ing. 1t proves that the American people,
wherever they are, stand for Americans first
and other people next. It demonstrates that
manufacturers in the United States are not to
be cut down and confined to isolated locali-
ties, but that the great West is to continue
an industrial development that will rival the
prodigious accomplishments in the East. The

THE mammon of unrighteousness is again
troubling the brethren, this time in Philadel-
phia. charity ball was given in that city
for the benefit of four hospitals, the. Roman
Catholic, the Episcopalian, the Pennsylvania,
and a Presbyterian. The share of each in the
profits was 50, 700. Checks were sent to the
respective managers for the amount. The ac-
ceptance OF the sum by the beard of one Of
the hospitals has raised great disturbance,
and a demand is made that the money shall be
returned A number of sermons were
preached over the matter on Sunday. 1t is
not pretended that any church was involved
in the inception or conduct of the obiectiOna-

of common sense, to say nothing of charity.

IT is all very well to attack Bismarck for
abusing the American hog, but when the
American hog gets into the butter which we
are expected to spread on our own buckwheat
cakes it is very different matter. In New
York the legislative committee on public
health has been investigating the spurious
butter business and find that immense guam
titles consisting of so per cent. of lard are
sold to the unsuspecting as genuine butter.
For stomachs so delicately constituted as to
rebel at this proportion of shortening"
another grade is prepared which contains but
40 per cent of lard. An effort will be made
to prohibit the sale of the spurious article.
The hog is great and noble animal, but he
must keep his proper place which is not in
the butter-tub.
