LONDON, May 6.-The sensation caused
BY the withdrawal Of Lord Randolph
Churchill continues, and the facts regarding

control of the entire Conservative party and
it had become cancus, lie then appointed
an executive committee consisting Of him
self Mr. Gorst, Sir Henry Drummond
Wolf. The association, however. adopteda
resolution that the Council and Central
Committee should work in harmony.
Churchill looking upon this rs u vote Of
ccnsurr, retired from the association. The
correspondence between Churchill and Sal
isbury is 81 acrimonious that reooncila-
ton is impossible. John Eldongort and

MONSTER ICEBERGS.

From the New York Herald

from the New York Herald
The gigantic Arctic icebergs Mt st.
Johns, n. f., which are blockading that
harbor, are large enough to rival the
celebrated Antarctic bergs. One OF these
ice andsforecloses to the eye all ingress
and egress of the port; another, seen
from the blOcknouse over the harbor of
st. Johns, was estimated to be seven
miles long, and third was ascertained,
by cross bearings and trigonometrical
survey, to be nine miles long and n
quarter of n mile wide. Either Of these
floating glacier fragments rivals in area
the mammoth historic berg reported by
Sir John Ross in his first Arctic voy-
age, which was less than three miles
long and two broad. 1t is very note
worthy that the immense glacial masses
now observed off st. Johns, instead Of
being conspicuous for their height, are
of the tabular" or Antarctic type. At
this season icebergs off Newfoundland
are becoming very fragile, so that prob
ably before reaching the latitude Of st.
Johns these bcrgs were much larger
than they now appear.
The dislodgment OF such enormousice
masses in the high attitudes argues the
prevalence in West Greenland during
this season of exceptionally low barom-
eter, great humidity and comparatively
mild temperature, and augurs rather ia
voraby for the success of the Thetis,
Bear and Alert in their present attempt
to penetrate Smiths Sound. The first
effect of IN unusually warm and wet
spring on the glacier fringed coast of
West Greenland would be n profuse dis
charge of ice into the narrow marine
channels. While this would temporarily
delay the Arctic bound vessels, " the
summer wears on the probability is that
these channels will disgorge their ice
drifts, and he less difficult of navigation
than they generally are in August and
September.
Meantime the appearance of these
huge bergs bearing down on the highways
of Atlantic commerce should be warn
ing to navigators that the ice season of
1884, which began mt an unusually early
! date, Is by no means over. These phe-
nomenal drifts are not alone, but most
probably form the advance of an army
Of bergs which will require several
weeks to complete their ocean journey
from frigid to temperate climes. One
effect they will have will be the increase
of fog on the Banks in the tracks of
steamers which venture on the northerly
passage to Europe. The avoidance Of
this passage by European steamers is
now, more than at any period this sea.

Wheat In the Central States.

The Cincinnati Chamber of Com
merce is in receipt of reports on the
wheat crops from agents in Pennsyl-
vania, Ohio, Indiana, Maryland, New
Jersey, Delaware and Virginia.
The secretary furnishes the following
report: "The wheat in Pennsylvania,
Ohio and Indiana went into the winter
favorably, especially in the northern
and southern parts of the States. In
the central parts it was not so fav-
orable. The winter was favorable
to the wheat up to the first of
March. The wheat was then frozen
somewhat, and injured by the fly,
though not seriously. Up to April 10
the month showed decided improve
ment. From April 25 to the present
time, the weather has been almost per-
feet for wheat. The crop will be from
80 to So per cent. in Ohio, Indiana and
Pennsylvania. I think, considering,
eighty-fve per cent. good average
crop.
"The average of wheat in Ohio iaabout
ihe same this year as it was last, and is
larger in Indiana. In Eastern Pensyl-
yanla, Maryland, New Jersey, Delaware,
Virginia and the district Of which Balti-
more is the centre, the crop never looked
better.
g In the New England States, the crop
about an average, II anything q little
better. The hay crop is looking bet

An Era OF Fast Life.

A New York correspondent of the
Philadelphia Press, says: The young
men about town report that there is OBJ
servable in the glittering section of New
York society feature new to the metro
politan world of fashion. They report
that there is a disposition toward fast
ness among the fairer half that did not
exist very few years ago. 1t is not
noticeable, they say, among the wives
and mothers, as is the case in London,
but IL confined to the unmarried ones.
This is startling to one who recalls the
proud boast of the New Workers Of
simpler days, that the women of New
York not only demonstrated the safety
of the American method Of rearing girls
but proved that women so reared became
the models of their sex. But we might
as well make up our minds that we live
in city different in a thousand ways
from tic solid, practical, commercial
seaport presided over by the last genera
ton. The names that decked the scrolls
of fashion then are yet to be found in
the city directory, but the days are gone
when their simple parties aud solid din
ners we're fit to be considered

A Lawyers Courage.

A well-known New Yorker, speaking
of the late Charles O'Conor, said:
Vie was a man of very eccentric dis
position and peculiar in everything he
did. He lived nearly thirteen miles ont
Of the city, and, being troubled greatly
by dyspepsia, he decided to walk to and
from his Office. This he did daily, rain,
or shine, in all weather, covering the
round distance of twenty. five odd miles
in good pedestrian style. His neigh
bors, who were mostly well-to-do peo-
pie knew this, and some of the younger
men, knowing that he walked home even
in dark winter nights, decided to put his
courage to the test. They arranged a
plan accordingly, and hired stout-built
laboring man to net the part Of high
wayman. The fellow was dressed in q
greatcoat, with big SLOUGH hat and
huge false whiskers. He was armed
with large old-fashioned pistol
empty, of course.
"The night on which the precious
rascals decided to scare the testy old
lawyer was wild and stormy one
in midwinter. The ground was white
with snow, which had been falling con-
stantly for hours. The party was posted
at convenient spot where they could
see all that occurred while invisible
themselves. At lonely spot on the
road the make-believe footpad jumped
ont from behind fence and faced the
little lawyer. Your money or your
life he sang out Justify, presenting his
pistol full in O'Conor's face. The lawyer
stepped back, but didn't blanch bit.
He set his teeth firmly and Kissed
through them:
90 haven't got any money, and if 1
had, wouldn't give you q COMPOUNDED
cent. As formy life, it isn't worth much
to anybody
"The fellow was nonplussed. He had
expected resistance, but here was a
brave man who, all alone and unarmed
as he was, defied him. He lowered his
pistol, gathered his greatcoat about him
aud took to his heels. After that the
young bloods of the neighborhood never
undertook to dispute the courage Of
Charles O'Conor."

as he was getting out Of the train at
Brussels, which belonged to dealer in
horses, who had been travelling in the same
compartment, and Of whom he forth

to the station. The worthy horse dealer,
with prodigal generosity, offered him
dollar, which the finder declined.
