THE MORNING STAR.
Sailing of the New Missionary Ship from
Boston for Service in the Pacific.

Boston, Nov. 4-The beautiful barkentine
Morning Star dropped down the bay yesterday
afternoon. and departed on her mission of evan
gelization. Her first port will, according to
Captain Bray's plan, be Honolulu. During her
stay here the vessel has been visited by thou
saads of people, who viewed with the pride of
ownership her elegant proportions and her com
Portable interior, and who now follow her with
their prayers. The Morning Star carried many
gifts, one of which is a large life boat, which is
to be scheoner-rigged, and to be used in emer-
gencies. 1t is the gift of eighteen young men of
the Park-street Sabbath-school, and it's cost was
betrayed largely by the proceeds of two concerts
organized by them. The intention was to sail
Oct. q, but the local inspectors refused to give
a certificate because the boiler sheathing Is brick
instead of iron, and delay was made until the
supervising inspector for the district was per
suaded to grant a conditional certificate. This
he. did on the ground that the vessel was never
to return to the Atlantic ocean.

MRS. sCHELL1NG THREATENED,
The Goodman Bride Receives Startling An
OnymOus Letters.

New York Herald.
Since the excitement attending her elopement
and marriage to her fathers coachman has sub
sided, Mrs. Schelling has been living quietly
with her husband on West Twenty-second street.
The couple left Mrs. Blake's house iii West
Twelfth street after the reported departure of the
Morisinis for Europe. They went to their pres
ent address to avoid further annoyance. But it
seems that some evildisposed person has found
out where they are. In place of callers the
couple are now bothered by anonymous letters,
which come pouring in almost every day. The
epistles are evidently sent by one person.
A Herald reporter was received by Mr.. and
Mrs. Schelling yesterday in a pleasant parlor, and
in the course of conversation Mrs. Schelling
said; ''Of all the threatening letters have re-
ceived, this one / hold in my hand is the most
terrible. The other only said l would
be horsewhipped, This came on Friday
night directed, as were all the others,
to me, in my maiden name-Vietoria
exception of the coffin, which is drawn with a
pen. Listen to what it says" and Mrs. Schelling
read the letter, which was simply a brutally
scurrilous TRADE of abuse. 1t begins: I'm me
morium of Victoria, who departed this life on
the 9th of September, 1884. She was of age"
1t proceeds in violent terms to describe her as
rejected by her friends, and a deceitful daugh-
ter, and ends by invoking curses upon her in
shocking phrases. All of this is surrounded by
the outline of a coffin, and at the bottom, as a
motto, are the Latin words meaning REST in
He'll"
"There, continued the lady, that is only a
trifie more horrible than lots of others | have re-
ceived. l have an idea who writes them"
You havel' said the reporter. WHO is it-a
crank}'
NO said Mrs. Schelling. her eyes flashing.
ut is not u crank. 1t would take IA person with
full possession Of his brains to write such let
ters. | can surmise who it is; in fact, Ifeel sure
[ know. but l don't care to tell until l have
proofs"
"Are you not afraid the sender may carry out
his threats"
Afraid No, not one particle. The wretch who
would send such stuff to a woman will never
dare to face her"
do you and your husband intend to remain
here2'
'Only for the present. We are very happy
together. and we like New York 80 much, but in
a snort time we intend TO go away-perhaps for
ever"
"Where are You goingP'
''That," answered the husband, sis a secret at
present"
''Do you know anything about Mr.. Morosini
and his familyF
'No more than you do, "replied Mrs. Schelling,
putting on her hat. 81 have not heard a word
from my father since the trial at Yonkers," and
she smiled bitterly. The couple then bid the
reporter adieu, and went away to view the citi:
zens' procession.
Eoth Schelling and his wife looked well. Mrs.
Schelling looked as if married life agreed with
her. SIZE wore a neat suit of blue cloth. The
couple were evidently still in their honeymoon.
Where they live they are known as Mr.. and Mrs.
E. Scheliing Hulskamp.

BLAINE AS a .cAMpAIGNER.
His steady Good Temper and Wonderful
Grasp of Affairs.

"Gath's" New York Letter.
Theron G. Crawford, who left Augusta with
Blaine-the same writer whose dispatches you
have seen in Dana's Sunday Sun, and who never
left Blaine's car-tells me that in all his career
he has never seen Blaines match for regular,
steady star grasp of affairs. lie did his own
thinking, arranging, inspecting and exploiting,
and never got mad except when it was eminently
proper. The committeeman from district to
district came in, found he knew every doubtful
town IN the district, and every district wanted
him. 1t could be saved in no other way than by
his coming there. He went, stormed the place,
slid back again to a little nap and more figuring,
and at the end of every short dream there stood
another committeeman wanting to be saved.
The evenness of his temper, the rapid alternat-
ing from thought to display, maintained almost
with old Shakspeare's readiness and ease, his
consideration for his fellow-travelers serenity
under insults Grd boorishness and familiarity
and almost greatness of mind, grew and grew
upon the newspaper skeptic till, he says, he
never expects to get such a portrait out of life
agains
And this candidate is a great grandson of a
man who, a little above one hundred years ago,
was exercised just as hard to find means and
supplies for Washington's armies. 1--WE are
out of hour!" w have not a barrel of rum
for rationsp w must have beef" Ephraim
Blaine, who took charge of the rich and undis-
turbed Cumberland Valley and of the mountain
tors of Pennsylvania. knowing every mill, dis
tillery, stock and herd, did more to keep Wash
ington's stomach down than history tells,
So politics are transmissible. The grandson

ter roll of fambeau-b~ bearers, conscript officers,
ETC., is as large as the Prussian army.
l consider this presidential campaign not to
have been disgusting. Its lessons will educate
the public mind better than platitudes. The
people are beginning to see that it is a trick to
separate from a mans true essence some spotted
feather in his plumage and say This is the
bird" Nothing tires at last like the. man who
objects to all biography and to everybody who
is praised, by saying: But see hereI" Go to
dismal Tophet, thou dark dissecter of the things

OUR NEXT PRESIDENT.
A Few Reflections on the Right of Suffrage,
and Other Pertinent Points.

The election is over, and the returns are rap
idly coming in. The question as to who will be
the next President, or carry New York and In
diana, is now settled, and business will
again resume its wonted sway. AS has
often been remarked, politics make strange
bedsfellows." This was never more forcibly illus
trated than in the harmonious commingling of
all races and conditions of mankind, yesterday,
at the polls, where white and black, young and
old, merchant and mechanic, all peaceably de-
posted the silent ballot, registering the will of
the people. The people are the sovereigns at
the polls. So they are everywhere in this
broad. free land of ours. privileged
to exercise the God given right of suffrage with
out let or hindrance; privileged to eat and drink
what they please, ard none the less privileged
to select for themselves such wholesome and en-
joyable amusements as will afford the greatest
pleasure to the greatest number. Such, in fact,
as will be furnished by those twin sons of
Momus-the greatest of all comedians, Robson
and Crane, at the Grand. Opera-house on next
Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday evenings.
They will be seen on Monday evening in Our

comedians. The advance sale of seats will open

He was at the height of his glory when the

less than 81 600 a month for his services, which
were highly priced by managers because Brig

cesses. He permitted ladies to admire him
but his devotion to the proudest and most beauti-
full of them never took him out of doors on a wet
night to the peril of his voice. His own person
was more in his thoughts than the caresses of
women. His inordinate vanity taught him to

not to make particular victims of any of its

A Remarkable Manager.

Interview with Gen. George Is. Williams.
Said l: What do you think of Blaine's man
agement of himselfl" ,,
Il think, saving one or two errors of Judgment
or advice, he has been a remarkable manager in
the campaign. He is not destitute Of temper
not a hypocrite- At Fort Wayne, when they
selected the balcony of a hotel for him to speak
from, right opposite a Democratic meeting, it
was soon observed that when he began to speak
the Democrats got highly interested in their
meeting and shouted. He could not be
heard, so he withdrew into a room
and had a little conference, and. it
was suggested that he take a carriage
and go up the street and speak from a carriage.
He behaved very well under the circumstances
When he had consented, in spite of his better
judgment, to go to Illinois he lost his temper for
a minute or two, not while doing it, but after he
had been importuned sucee ssfully. Blaine felt
and knew Illinois was all right, and yet he was
taken off there when he felt that his real duty
was to come East. AS far as his health is con
cerned, said Mr.. Williams, Il never saw any
thing like it. l rather took charge in several
towns of the conduct of the events, and. could
not keep up after it was over. Blaine goes
right along. He has shown in this campafsn
superior physical resources to any human being
whoever embarked in a presidential contest.

AN ANIMATED PIN-CUSHION.
Mrs. Mary SeeIye Bristles with Pins and
Needles to the AstOnishment Of Doctors.

BUFFALO, Nov. 4-The physicians in attend
ance at the Erie County Almshouse have a mar
.velous case in hand. Two weeks ago Mrs. Mary
Seelye, thirty-six years of age, was brought
there from SARDINIA, this State, suffering from
pains caused by the presence of pins and needles
in her system. How they got there is a mystery
One day last July Mrs. Seelye was standing in
the doorway of her home during a violent thun-
der-storm. Suddenly a binding flash of light
ming and shock Frustrated her. 1t was more
than an hour before she recovered. A few days
later she felt a p~ricbing sensation in her left
arm accompanied by sharp pains. A physician
was summoned; he pinched up the flesh on the
spot indicated and felt something hard and evil
IDENTIFY metallic. AS the substance was near the
surface the doctor punctured the skin with n lance
and drew out a piece of knitting needle an inch
and a half long. 1t was corroded and rusty.
Next day q similar pricking pain was experienced
in Mrs. Seelye's right arm. 1t was'slighter than
the first because, as the doctor discovered, the
substance was further below the surface.
Eventually he cut from the. place a half hairpin
of ordinary cheap metal. 1t also was corroded.
From that time on, every day or two, bits of
metal worked their way near the surface and
were removed, until no less than forty-seven
fragments of needles, common brass pins, hair
pins and the like were taken out. They were
mostly taken from the woman's arms, within a
surface of four by six inches on either.
Mrs. Seelye asserts that she never swallowed
needles or anything of the kind. Even if she
had, the doctors say the articles could never have
passed from the region of the digestive organs
into her flesh, without producing dangerous re-
suits. The case is shrouded in mystery, and is
likely to attract the attention of the medical pro
fession generally.

VANDERBILT AND A CRIPPLE.
Why the Millionaire Gave a Half Million

Why the Millionaire Gave n Half Million
Dollars for a Benevolent Purpose.
New York Letter in Albany Journal.
AS nearly as l can ascertain, Vanderbilts gift
of 500, 600 to the New York College of Physi-
clans and Surgeons all came from a small Incl
dent. Vanderbilt stopped at a wayside inn in
upper New York, as is his custom of an after
noon, to rest his horses and take a glass of gin
and water. The place is known to our horse
men as Barry's, and is commonplace enough, ex-
cept for being the favorite stopping place for
Vanderbilt, and, for that reason, a resort for
the chronic roadsteFs. While he stood with ms
back to the bar, his elbow on it, and a glass of
grog ("two. fingers of Holland gin, two of hot
water and a spoonful of sugar., a pitiable Grip
pie entered-a little boy, with misshapen legs
and back awry.
How did you get into such a shape, sonny2"
Vanderbilt asked.
81 was ruined over, p" the urchiu replied.
An accident on the road had special interest
for the questioner, aud he got the particulars.
The little fellow had been overturned and
t~rampled on by a fast horse. He was too poor
to be doct ored at home, and yet his mother had
foolishly objected to his removal to a hospital
where he might have received proper treatment,
but he had been taken to the College of Physi-
clans and Surgeons, where applicants Get in
adquate attention, or only such as will serve as
illustrations to the lessons which the students
are learning, the facilities being so limited as to
preclude any thing further.
1t CHANGED that Prof, Doremus, the specialist
in chemistry, dropped into the bar-room at this
~juncture. In answer to the King of Mammon's
questions he said t it was a pity that this college,
with the most skillful of surgeons in its faculty
and the incentive to utilize injured persons at
once to their own benefit, was prevented from
doing SO by limited quarters and scant facilities.
He said that a big building would serve as good
a purpose as he knew of in the whole range of
New York charity. From that directly came
Vanderbilts unexpected $500, 900.

In the social column If the Call is announced

1t is long since I have seen Newton Booths
name in print, and it is odd that at such a stir
ring period as this it should appear as the
director Of a dancing club. No man ever started
in the race for distinction with greater odds in
his favor, and few fell behind 50 completely and
disappointingly. An orator of unusual power, a
good politician. a man of rare magnetism, there
was nothing within the gift of the Nation that
Booth might not have attained. But he wilted
before he was half ripe, and the dirge has been
chanted over the grave of his ambitions years
ago.
