4 THfRvED LIFE.

Tho rocas aiming whom General Gordon has
laborcd have always credited him WIN having
a charmed life. The record of his career III
China and the Soudan presents long series OF
marvellous escapes from death. The Ever
Victorious army was invariably led by nm III
person. He exposed himself with utter reck-
lessness on the field of battle, and although he
headed the stoimng parties and WAS generally
in advance OF his men, sometimes even puliihE
them after him, he was never armed. In the
Soudan he was equally intrepid, even venturng
to enter the camps of the slave hunters un-
armed and unattended. Climates that quickly
proved fatal to his companions only seemed to
have the elect of dcbilitating him temporarily
and the very elements spared him. lie has hau
remarkable escapes from shIpwreck i'll ocean
and river. and comrades by his side have been
st,uck 10 earth with lightning while he has
gone unharmed. Even if he were not sustained
by faith in an overshadowing personal Provl-
depce. which in its way seems as closely AKIN 10
fatalism. his continuous skirmishing with death
woulh alone have inspired IA feeling OF indiiier-
encc to fate.
This il the man whom Dame Rumor has been
making persistent efforts during the last ten
urncr reaches of the Nile. Daring the last
fortnight her stilctto warfare has been unremlt-
ting and the reports of his death have been con-
tradictcd orly to be repeated anew The Arabs
have been chattering about it all the way from
Dongoa to Khartoum, and speculations respect
ing his fate have been the daily gossip at caro-
and Alexandria. In Paris the rumor has been
officially communicated by NJ. Ferry to the
French Ministry, apparently on the strength OF
dispatches from diplomatic agents III Egypt.
A. the news has not been confirmed III LONDON
where the Government have the most authentic
sources of information, the report cannot be ac-
ccpted until it is authorliatlyeiy conhl'l'e''
The yicssitudes of his fortune have made hlIl Il
romantic as well as n fantastic figure III !;
thoroughly prosaic age. He appeals To the I'M
acinaton not only of Engishmen, but oil the
civilized world. Ii he survives the strange cam
noirn of peril and adventure in the Soudan ana

sS M TIE FUTURE.

In New-York $4,000 votes were cast for
General Garfield in 1880. This year about
-. 900 votes, nearly all Republican, were cast
for the Prohibition ticket, and yet there were
obout 55S. 900 votes for Mr.. Blaine. The Ke-
nublicans therefore gained, from other quarters
ahout 5000 more votes than they lost by
diversion to St. John or by direct transfer OF
bolting free traders to Cleveland.
In New-Jerscy, the vote for Mr.. Blame IS
. 500 more than the vote east for Garfield III
1850. and yet there were about 5000 voters
diverted to the Prohibition ticket. Assuming
that there were 5000 former Republicans who
voted for Cleveland, as the boilers claim, the
Republicans must have gained nearly l1,Ooo
VOTES from the former Democrats or from new
voters.
A similar state of facts appears IN other
Northern States. The Republican party has
Gained more votes than it has lost, both by the
transfer of free traders to Cleveland and by the
diversion to st. John. That doesn't have a
moribuud look.

TIE BRIDGE MANAGEMENT.

One of the first things which the Legislature
should do at It's next session is TO pass a bill
organizing the Board OF Trustees of the Brook
lyn Bridge. The present unwicdy body should
be abolished and the management taken out of
.hc hands of the Brooklyn Democratic Ring
and the Union Ferry Company Although the
Bridge cost $4,000, 900 and has been in use
about eighteen months, it has failed to meet
public expectation. No effort has been made to
connect it with any system of rapid transit
The five cent fare charged on the cars for cross
ing it prevents the great mass of people from
gaining any benefit from the costly structure
while the lack of connection with other lines of
travel makes il almost useless to the majority
of people who would otherwise pay that fare
I'm the busy hours the car facilities are barely
sufficient now to accommodate the limited
travel on the Bridge. That is due, the presi-
dent saws, to the want of room on this side for
swi ching the cars. Good management would
have provided against such Il blundcr i'm con-
etructing the Bridge. There would not have
becn a years delay in attempting to remedy
that defect, after its existence was publicly an
uouucrd. had the managing trustees been
anxious to accommodate the public There is
= nrospect now of indefinite delay owing TO the
legal distractions placed in the way by Mr..
Otendorlcr. Alter permitting an elevated rail-
road station to be placed against his building
without legal protest, he endeavors to interfere

While the result of the Presidential election

The appeal to the people on the tariff question
has been in part successful, in three respects.
l. 1t has warned the Democrats of the present
House, as of the one just elected, that they can
not hold their followers nor avert complete de-
feat if they continue their war upon the pro-
tectivc system. Overwhelming defeat was
avoided by them this year only by falsely pre-
tending in the Eastern States to be III favor OF
that system. This warning, 1t may be hoped,
will render tho present House less ready to
threaten every industry again with the Morrison
