nnrseV'S Influence.

An attempt is being made to create the
impression that both Mr.. Arthur and
Senator Logan are trying to cultivate
Dorsey, of star route fame. Dorsey has
spoken kindly of Senator Logan lately,
and contemptuously of Mr.. Arthur. lie
evidently doesn't intend to do anything
to help Mr.. Arthur secure the Chicago
nomination. 1t is not easy to see how he
can help or hurt either Arthur or Logan.
Whatever influence he may have had a
few years ago, he can hardly have any
now. 1t is said that he pretends to be
able to control the Arkansas, Colorado and
California delegations, and says that ne
will give them to Logan. 1t is also SAID
that Logan has already secured the Ala
bama delegation, so that he will start OF
well if Dorsey can do what it is alleged he
has promised when the roll of the States
is called. This talk about DOrsey's intiu-
ence is not worth much. When he was
on trial he said he had letters that would
seriously compromise prominent men who
gave him the cold shoulder after his trOu'
bles began. 1t is noticeable that he has
published no letters of importance. 1t is
probable that he hasn't any that the pub
lie would care to see. AS to influence in
politics, Dorsey may be regarded as
bankrupt.

A Secret Marriage Only Revealed When
the Bride was Joining the Church.
Clifford Huhbell, tall, thin young man,
says a Cleveland, Ohio, special to the New
York World, is the Superintendent of the
Bedford School, and Miss Cora Lamson,
short, rather stout and pretty girl, aged
II, was his favorite pupil. Several months
ago a company of young people were at
party at the superintendent home,
and among them were Miss LamsOn
and the Rev. James Vernon, the minis
ter of the village, and his wife. Near mid
night. while the rest of the company were
at supper, the Superintendent and his ia
vorite scholar told the minister that they
desired to be married, and invited him
then and there to unite them. Standing
before the house is an old tree, and the
school teacher and his romantic pupil
wished to be married beneath it. With
the young minister and his wife as wit
ness, the quartet quietly hurried into the
ward and here Clifford and Cora were
made one.
Not long ago the minister began a Sc
ries of revival meetings in his church and
secured many converts, among them be-
ting the young wife of Clifford Hubbell.
In due time the minister called upon his
converts to seal their conversion by be.
coming members of the church.
sCora Lamson is going to jOin," said
the young lady's many friends, and on
that evening the church was crowded.
AS the applicants stood before the altar
the minister called out each of their
names. When he reached Cora LamsOn
he announced MRS. Clifford Hubbell."
A commotion followed, everybody ex-
pressing great surprise. Then came the
explanation of the romantic marriage.
Congratulations poured in, and now Mr..
and Mrs. Hubbell are enjoying the bliss Of
married life.

The Greedy Exnedition.

A London special to the New YORK Her,
aid says that the opinion prevails there
that Lieut.. Greedy has been murdered Dy
his mutinous men. This is doubtless a
revival of the rumOr Of Greely's muruer
which was current three or four months
ago. The report obtained currency iaSI
autumn in Copenhagen, and the Heiu"o
saws if was obtained from an EsqulmauA
who ACCOMPANIED DR.. Nathorst 10 OaPe
York. and that he got it from the Esqui-
maux he met in the locality. Inc report
is not believed. as DR.. Nathorst alu hot
hear of it.
The Greedy expedition was landed at
Lady Franklin Bay in August, 1881, by
the Proteus, and consisted of twenty-iour
men selected from the various branches
Of the United States Army. 1t was amply
provided with provisions for three years,
and was to have returned in the autumn
of 1888. Its object was to take obser-
vatiOns and to make thorough eXplora-
tions Of the polar regions IN that part
of its immense area. The party had
all the dogs. sleds. ammunition, clothing
ETC., that it required, and in one week
after landing, according to Lieut.. Gree
Tvs report when last heard from at Lyt-
tleton's Island, killed sufficient game,
principally musk oxen, to provide loou
for three months independent OF the
stores. The expedition was also provided
with building material for the construc-
ton of houses for shelter during the win
ter. and additional provisions we're cached
at various points within reach.
The starvation of the party is not thoughI
at all probable, and it is not believed that
the material of which it was composed
would Justify any suspicious of foul play
If any great calamity has overtaken the
party it was doubtless caused by disease
or treachery on the part of the Esqui'
maux. All surmises, however, as to the
condition of the expedition, its where
abouts. or whether the members OF 1t are
still alive, are but idle speculatlons. IL

probabilities are all in favor of its safety,
but the fact remains that the time for Its

founded apprehensiOns have Justlned the

His Pennsylvania Coal Mines Expected

In little company of gentlemen the
other day, says the Washington CORES
pondent of the Philadelphia Press, a very
prominent journalist said he had always
respected Mr.. Blaine, and admired him
and liked him, but he often wondered how
it was that the great Maine statesman
had become so rich. Gen. Beale, who s
probably Gen. Grants most intimate
friend and who is probably not very inti-
mate with Mr.. Blaine, thereupon had
something to say. l was not present, and
rely on a third person, who was present,
for my facts. Gen. Beale said he knew
something of Mr.. Blaine's resources.
He said that he, in com,
pany with Gen. Grant, had visited
Mr.. Blaine's coal fields in Pennsylvania,
which the latter bought tor few thou
sand dollars while he was in Congress,
and before the mines were developed.
Gen. Beale said the mines had since been
opened in many places, and they dis
closed solid beds of coal II feet deep and
covering hundreds of acres. forget how
many thousands of tons of coal were taken
out every week, but the amount, accord
ing to Gen. Beale, was enormous. IL was
stated that a company had been formed,
and private railway built to the mines.
The impression that Gen. Beale left was
that one day Blaine would be very rich

Misrepresenting Southern Sentiment


Protectionists who are doing the most
talking at Washington against the Nor
rison tariff bill. are trying to create the
impression that a very large per cent. OF
the Southern people are in favor of pro-
tcctive tariff. They even go so far as to
assert that if the contest for Speaker
were to be gone over again Randall, IN
stead of getting twenty Southern votes,
would get somewhere near sixty. These
loud-talking prOtectionists are mistaken.
The percentage of prOtectionists in the
South is extremely small, and it is not in
creasiug as rapidly as the South is in
creasing in wealth and population.
1t is hardly probable that Randall will
support the Morrison tariff bill. 1t will be
seen whether sixty Southern Representa-
tives follow his lead in opposition to that
bill. 1t will appear when the bill comes
to be considered that the protectienists
have been endeavoring to mislead the
public with respect TO sentiment in the
South relative to the tariff. There are
quite a number Of prominent journals III
the South which advocate protection, but
they do not represent the ma
jOrity of the people of their States.
Both of the leading New Orleans
papers are protection journals, because
there Is large sugar interest in Louis
lana which demands a high protective
tariff \ very small minority of the peO-
pie, however, are interested in sugar
planting. At least four-ffths of the peo-
pie of the State are in favor Of tariff for
revenue. In this State several journals
in manufacturing towns preach prOtec-
ton, but it cannot be said that any con-
siderable per cent. of the people of the
State are in favor of a high protective
tariff. Even the mill owners in
the large manufacturing towns, like
Columbus and Augusta, are not clamOr-
Ing for a protective tariff. Indeed, the
President of the largest mills in the State
said to a Senate Committee not long ago
that he did not ask for a protective tariff.
The South is not in favor of a tariff for
protection, and is not likely to be. 1t
realizes its ability to compete in the mar
kets of the world with the manufacturers
of other nations. The shrewdest men of
the South see that the quickest way to
build up the manufacturing interests of
the South is to lower the tariff. The mills
of the North would then seek the South.

srGNoR RossI FIGHTS a DUEL.
How an Unruly Spectator was Given Sat
isfactiOn by the Tragedian.


Rossi was PLAYING Hamlet one night
at Casala when party of young Italians
of both sexes, who had dined too coplously,
spoke so loud that the actor was Obliged
to stop. ''Pll keep quiet until you do,Y
said the tragedian, quietly folding MS
arms. The public applauded ana oe-
manded the expulsion of the dlsturDers,
but after the performance SlgnOr kossl
found a card lett with the stage door
keeper. The owner of it. insisted upon
satisfaction for the insult. Signor ROssi
pulled a long face. He did not mind
duel, but he was expected next night at
Milan, and was bound to start at IN the
morning.
He went straight to the residence of the
challenger, whom he found engaged IN
trying his skill with pair of pistols ON an
iron plate against the wall. He explained
the situation to him. "The rumOr Of a
duel between us has already gone abroad;
the gendarmerie are sure to prevent us in
the morning. | have a very spacious
apartment at the hotel. VIII you come
and settle our quarrel there? We are not
likely to be disturbed, especially if we can
managed to slip in unnOticed." So said,
so done. They repaired to Signor ROssrs
hotel, the conditions had been arranged,
and they were just about to begin when
there was a knock at the door. 1t was the
that his visitor was ill, and would not ac-
cept his assurance to the contrary for an
answer. "There is but one way out of
the difficulty; we must blow out the can
dies and take aim by the glow of our Gig
arettes we are going to light"
The condition was accepted; SignOr
ROssi hit his adversary on the shoulder,
but the discharge awakened the whole
house. The tragedian had got from the
frying-pan into the fire, for he was con-
Quoted to the juge de pair. In vain did he
consult his watch; the hands pointed to -.
To make matters worse, the magistrate
received him with a crushing speech.
"YOu deserve five years Imprisonment"
he began. "But now that the man of the
law has spoken" he continued, suddenly
changing his tone, ''the playgoer must
add last word. l was at the theatre last
night; you acted like god, and you did
very well to chastise this goOd-for-nOth-

The scheme of NJ. Roudaire, the French
photographer, for the flooding Of large
part of the Desert of Sahara, is again

The consent of the Tunisian Government,
hitherto thought to be the chief obstacle
in the way Of converting the sandy waste
into a great inland sea, has been OBTAIN
ed. 1t is said that more recent surveys
have demonstrated the entire feasibility
of the undertaking, and little now remains
TO be done except to obtain the necessary
funds and 90 to work. 1t is probable that
the experiment will be made during the
next ten years, and in the meantime the
philos0phic world will be highly enter
tanned with speculatiOns as'tO what the
results of the work will be. The ques-
fions involved in the discussion embrace
the fields Typography, engineering, clim-

pomt of view it is undoubtedly the most
important undertaking ever proposed.
