LONDON. Aug. 15.-The continuance of
the agitation against the more fragrant
forms OF London vices, as revealed by the
Pail Mall Gazette, is wearying and disgust
ing the people, and is beginning to meet
with general condemnation. The Conserv-
atlye press Is commencing to decry the
business, and a number of established
church organs are following suit. The
ArchbishOps of York and Canterbury and
other leaders of religious thought are
waning in their support of the agitation.
On the other hand. however. the Wes-
leyanS, the Radicals and other asso-
ciated religious bodies are pushing the
agitation with all their might and en-
deavoring to enlist popular sympathy by
means of great public demonstrations. All
the influence possessed by dissenting re-
ligiOus organizations seems to be at present
i'll use to make the Hyde park meeting
monster success. The council list for this
meeting includes Prof. Newman. the Rt.
Hon. Joseph Stansfeld, President Roberts,
Of the Wesleyan conference, ex-Presdent
OF the Wesleyan conference, Mr. Michael
Davitt, COnnOrs, Wilberforce, and French
and many other clerical dissenting uotables.
In Liverpool. Manchester and other large
cities OF England vigilance committees
are being formed for the pur-
pose of obtaining local legislation for the
suppression of open vice. Mrs. Fawcett,
widow Of Prof. Fawcett, is strongly in
favor of continuing the agitations. Reply
ing to certain criticisms on her conduct in
this respect, Mrs. Fawcett contends
the agitation inaugurated in reve-
latiOns made by the Pail Mall
Gazette, has already resulted in many
benefits to the people of England, and
among which she enumerates "a great
aTousing of public conscience" :" and ''in
creased severity in the sentences for crimes
against children, Will tend to save young
men and women from ''walIowing
in vice. The Purity society encoun-
tered much opposition in its work of
putting shadows on public men. It's nu-
merOus agents, who have been engaged in
the work Of acting as detectives against
public men, have been warned by the aT-
thorities to refrain from making nuisances
of themselves, and the regular police have
been ordered to prevent these spies from
annoying members of parliament, many of
whom have complained OF the peStering.

Women Who Drive.

From New Y OK Letter.
The number of women who handle the reins
is greatly increased in New York. There
are a dozen or more women in New York
who drive every dav and who handle their
horses with eOnsummate skill. They are
the wives of milliOnaireS. and nearly all Of
them drive small carts or gigs. The buggy
is quite tabOOed. 1t is curious how much
they resemble one another. They sit erect,
square-shouldered aud alert. with their el-
bows at their sides. Occasionally another
woman is with them, but never man. A
small English tiger. in irreproachable En-
glish livery, sits with his arms folded, ike
a wax figure. behind. Women usually drive
small. thoroughbred horses, with names and
tails clipped.

that by proper treatment he will recover
and be as well as he ever was.

LONDON, Aug. 15.-Sir Charles Dixie
and friends believe that a settlement out of
court will be effected in the divorce sui.
brought by Mr.. Crawford against his wifet
with Sir Charles as correspondent. If the
case goes to trial, it is thought that
1t will be conducted in way to
afford as lutte scandal or gossip as
possible. Mr.. Crawford himself desires
to avoid making exposures and wishes
merely to obtain divorce. Very strong
social and political influences are being
brought to bear upon him to induce him to

10 allow the case to be postponed indefin-

A Misery Patient.
Boston Globe.


The following true story is told OF a
Montreal physician: He was called late at
night to attend very misery old man,
whom we will call Hardpay. He found
the latter in a very anxious frame of mind,
and unable to articulate single word, his
jaw having been dislocated. The affected
member having been reduced, Hardpay
asked the doctor how much he charged.
my fee, sir, twas the reply, sis SIS. +"
Five dollars, said Hardpay, affecting
astomshment; III give you 81; not cent
more.
A bright idea struck the doctor; and he
pretended to waive the question, as if dis
inclined to handy words about so trihing a
matter.
"By the way, he said, taking seat,
did you ever hear that story about re-
covering umbrellas?" and he proceeded to
rake from the ashes of the past this ancient
story and all the other chestnuts he could
think of.
Mr.. Hardpay stood it for awhile, with
out being visibly affected, but at last
yawned and threw his jaw out of place.
This was what the doctor anticipated.
Good evening, Mr.. HardpaY, he said,
pleasantly, rising as if to take his leave.
Mr.. Hardpay vouehSafed no reply, but
gesticulated wildly, pointing to his mouth.
The doctor pretended for time to mis-
understand his signals of distress and con-
tinued to retreat; but finally relented ~
and signalled the old man that he would
reset the jaw for 80 cash
The old man looked at first as If re-
solved to allow the jaw to remain where
it was, but soon saw that the doctor was
firm and counted out the required amount.
The jaw was then once more put in place,
and the doctor took his departure, chuck
ling at the success of his stratagem.

A novel use to which instantaneous pho
tographv may be put has been recently
suggested. Every one is familiar with the
interesting experiments of Mr.. Muybridge,
whose Photographic discoveries regarding
the various positions assumed by a
horse in motion so astonished the
artists Mr.. Muybridge's instantane-
Gus views will, if properly arranged and
made to pass rapidly before the eye, be
blended into the semblance of a single
figure which has the appearance of the
most life-like motion. Mr.. Muybridge has
recently been taking pictures of a boxing
match "ud it is suggested that he shall
execute series Of views of the next prize
fight in which the Boston slugger, John L.
Sullivan, is engaged.
If this can be successfully accomplished
the viows may be reproduced by wholesale
and sold all over the country, so that, with
the aid Of a "thaumatrope" such as can be
bought in any toy-store, one can sit in his
own parlor and view the fight
from the first round to the final
Knockout. In this manner, too
records may be kept of all great battles
fought by the champions of the ring. It
would thus be possible years hence, when
Mr. Sull van is dead, to see him knock
out Mr. Mitchell or Mr.. Pete Mccoy, and
from the opportunity thus afforded the
student of the manly art to study the
methods of fighters living and dead pupil

Telephone Stands.

The idea has been advanced that it would
be a good thing if the telephone people
would get up a neat stand on which to
place the telephone instruments in use in
private houses and places of business. IN
der the present plan of hanging the two in
strumenss against the wall it often happens
that the wall is marred, and, the instrument
being immovable, if a change is desired the
work of moving them takes some time, be-
sides leaving some marks that have to be
erased. If a light stand was in use on
which the two instruments were placed, and
underneath coil of fine wire was kept,
any one could move the instruments as they
saw fit at any time. Or the whole rig could
be placed on an ornamental bracket and
hung up at will.
