Since the world began the victims of perse-
cution have themselves generally failed tc
learn The lesson of liberality. The English
Churchmen who suffered at the hands OF
Catholics, in turn were harsh and cruel
toward the Catholics and the Puritans; and
the Puritans calmly banished or cut off the ears
of those who held views unlike their own. So
il is with the Hebrews of Eastern Europe. For
years they have suffered horribly from the per-
seeutions of their alleged Christian neighbors
but now it is said some of them have murdered
one of their own race because he had adopted
the Christian religion.

Sight seeing is likely to be attended with
difficulties in London hereafter Since these last
explosions especially, the tendency has been not
only to increase the number of policemen about
celebrated buildings and monuments, but even to
close them to the public. Historic places must
be protected at any cost of course but if they
were we'll guarded that should be sufficient.
THE democratic practice of carrying parcels
will also be more unpopular in the British cap
ital henceforth than ever, since the police now
frequently stop pedestrians in the streets

Now that suggestions for the suppression OF
dynamite plots are in order, there seems to be
some rivalry to see who can draw up the sever
est measure for legislative action. The Dill
introduced in the Assembly yesterday Is the
most rigid that we have yet seen. 1t provides
that any one who wants to manufacture or I'M
port dynamite must get permit from a Judge
to do so he must show who he is ; and, after
he gets the permit, he must file it with the
Sheriff. No explosive can be exported without
giving notice to the Sheriff or Police Commits
sioner and entering it at the Custom House.
The penalties for the violation of the law are
most severe. This is certainly strict, and dls-
cussion or experience might prove 1t to be
wise. But it should be remembered that III
this country dynamite is largely used for legltl-
mate purposes, which must not be interlered
with any further than is absolutely necessary

The people who favor an expensive set of
Civil Service examiners were doubtless grieved
Yesterday when they read Mayor Graces views
about the cost of the same; they will feel
worse when they learn this morning what
action he has taken in reference to the matter.
This is nothing less than the cutting down OF
the appropriation of $4,000 20 about one
half, so that the duties and pay of the exami-
ners are not nearly so gllt-edged as they were.
Neither are their quarters so luxurious or fash-
ionably situated Taxpayers will find no
fault with the Mayors course; nor sensible
men of any class, so long as the efficiency of the
Civil Service is not crippled thereby.
Contentment, thy name is Becky Jones
This ancient maiden, the only living example OF
the old family servant" was committed to
Ludlow Street Jail for contempt in the Ham
ersley will case, nearly nine months ago. In
stead of being cast down, Becky Jones is as
happy as the happiest of clans during ii season
of unusually high tides, and her only fear is
that some one may get her out OF jail. She
would have been valuable witness for
Sheriff Davidson had she been locked up in his
retreat before charges were made against him.
Her testimony might also have won her the
gratitude of Governor Cleveland; it prob
ably would have saved him considerable en-
barrassment in regard to these same charges.
There seems to have been wholesale forgery

New-York tribune., 1885-01-29

not more than 1,173 have been issued Dy inc

and only two since 1883. All the same, a gooo
many more Cinnamon than LIB have tried 10
pass the Custom House at San Francisco on tne
strength of certificates showing that they were
within the conditions of our laws. Apparently
little quiet detective work at Hong Kong anu
Canton would be good thing. 1t Will surprise
many persons to learn, in connection with this
matter, that the Chinese authorities are not
greatly disturbed because their people are
shut out of our ports. They do not like the
;nsnuation that they are not nice enough to be
LET in but they admire to see all their pig
tails at home.

Gould's Precautions.

1t is rather remarkable, but il is true,
that Jay Gould does not employ an
amanuensis. He writes all his own
letters. The word "all'' does not sig
Nifty many" for Gould replies to very
few letters, and the communications he
does write are brief. He is always in a
hurry when he writes, and it seems as
if his pen could not travel fast enough
to suit him. Gould puts the little he
has to say in as few words as possible,
and his pen races over the paper like a
steeplechaser in tracing out the charac-
tiers. Morosini opens all Of Could
letters and throws away all that do not
actually require to be read by Gould or
replied to BY him. Gould would not
have time to look at the tape once a
month if he read aud answered all the
letters that came to him. People adj
dress him on all sorts OF subjects, but q
good share of them want to know how
they can make money. Morosini drops
the messages containing the solicitons
inquiries into the waste-baslet. Gould
is much like the Gar of Russia, who
tries food and mysterious packages on
his underlings 10 see ii they survive
them. If Alorosini is not poisoned or
blown up Gould will risk taking things
sent to him. But the willy Italian, if
he has any suspicious Of a package,

marvellous stories are told of the work
ing of this new process in cradicating
the most obstinate diseases. A scien.
tiiic training is said to be needed for eff
fective work along this line, and its
advocates have little sympathy with
Christianity or its supernatural forces.
But there IS another party who aim to
combine science and Christianity. hold
ing that all disease is unnatural and
the result of sin. No Christian who
attains the true standard Of piety need

victim of painful disease. Boston is

The scent Of a Flower.


The scent of the flower is a wonderful thingl
1t plays round the heart like the zephyrs OF
spring;
So subtle SO soft. so resistless its power,
No monarchy rulcs like the scent of a flower.
Some odors so blead with past happier years
They move us like melodies breathing through
tears.
For they bring back the faces ana forms that
are cold,
And walks in the wild woods mid sunsets Of
gold.
A fragrance cxhales from a flower that l
know,
Dear pledge of a love IN the sweet long ago.
When tastes werernore simple, and pnrer our
And gifts OF fresh blossoms were holier
treasures.
One eve when the dew on the leaves glittered
He preferred the prize with tender Good
night;"
And my spirit grew faint with ecstatic emo
ton,
For j felt in that flower lay a lifetime devo-
ton.
He is gone; yet the scent Of that delicate
sun holds me with all the old passionate
And oft my sick heart would lie down in
despair
But that mercy divine melts my sorrow in
prayer.
"Consider the liliesr' Lord grant us to be
BY the field and the garden brought nearer to
Thee,
To read in sweet blossoms Thy goodness and
And an infinite love in the scent OF the flower.
