Grin cling serviIity of England. Poor.

Crinktne SoTNillty Oh Enkihnu
To American eyes London is a very sad
city; a far sadder city than Paris; and
the struggle for existence among the
poor seems harder and more desperate.
But, perhaps, even more deplorable and
painful than this physical poverty is the
moral poverty which permits the ring-
ing servility to be seen among those who
are poor but not respectable. Below a
certain level-and there are thousands
and thousands below this level-it is hard
to detect any manly self-respect or any
trace Of shame at Establishment. This
servility is encouraged and rewarded by
the patronizing air Of many of those in
a higher walk of life, most of whom
ought to know better.
An American in England is often
shocked at the harsh one in which serv-
ants are ordered about. OF course, this
is not to be noticed often in the house
holds of those who are truly gentlemen;
it is less ~infrequent from upstairs. Put a
beggar on horseback and he will swear
at his groom. l heard of an old family
butler complaining about the disadvan-
tages of serving a -shoddyr millionaire.
Those sort of people" he said, don't
never treat their servants properly; they
can't afford to do it; there amt margin
enough."-Brander Matthew'S Letter.

A Railroad Scheme.

New YORK, Aug. 1.-THE modified
plan of the Wistar committee tor the re
organization Of the Texas & Pacific rail
road was made public to day. Its pro-
visions in many respects are identical with
the Flemming plan. The important diff
~ferences are as follows:
First, Sc, 525,OOO of the capital stock
shall be issued in payment for the hsating
debt due the Missouri Pacific railroad mot
exceeding 81, 300, OOO). Messrs. Koehar,
Loeb 4 Co syndicate is to receive S per
cent in cash or in first mortgage bonds.
at the committees option, for guarantee
ing the conversion of the present c%onsoli-
dated bonds into new securities. The
syndicate has obligated itself to take re-
ceivefs certificates to the amount of $780,
600, bearing 6 per cent interest, at par,
and it is to be substituted for any non
asserting stockholders upon payment of
$40 per share. The committee shall have
power to negotiate with all companies fol
running powers, terminals. etc or to
make contracts therefor. binding upon the
new company, including traffic and Other
agreements. for use in all or in part Of
tracks, lines and terminals owned bv it.
The last provision is part of the old Wis
tar plan.

DENVER, Aug. l7.-An Ell Paso spe-
cial says: The rumor prevailing in the
North about Minister Jackson having
been ordered out of the country by Mexi
can authorities is entirely without founda-
ton. 1t is, on the contrary, reported that
during Gen. Sedgwick's tour O investiRa-
ton Mexico intends to abuse all amenities
of international comfy. Everything is
quiet at Paso del Norte. Consul Brig
ham is awaiting the coming of Mr.. Sedg
wick and is prepared to give him all
needed assistance in making a most thor,
ough investigation. Cutting says he will
be able to prove to Sedgwick's entire sat
isfaction that he never circulated copies
of the FL Paso Herald containing a second
libel in Paso del Norte. Upon this per
sonal circulation hinges at present the
Mexican claim to the legality OF Cutting's
Imprisonment.

A Bog

WASHINGTON. Aug. lie Secretary
Bayard has received a dispatch from the
United States consul at Port Stanley,
falkland islands, giving an account of a
slip of peat which occurred on the night
Of June 2, causing loss Of life and great
dest uction to property. Extending the
entire length of the south shore Of the
harbor, and at q slight elevation, is peat
from which the laboring public procure
their fuel. There are no channels which
drain the bog, and large quantities of
water collect there during long rains,
time. For three days previous to the
disaster, a rain storm had prevailed.
About 8 o'clock ip the evening the bog
began to quake, and finally, with a noise
like thunder, it broke loose, rushing
down upon the town, carrying everything
in its way. blocking up streets and piling
up peat in some places to the height OF
Six or eight feet. Solid stone walls were
rent asunder. fences. porches and iron
lamp posts were torn away, and boat
houses we're all swept away before its
march. The bewildered and terrified
population believed their town was being
destroyed by an earthquake. The ava
lanche lasted only an hour, but its path
was one Of great devastation, a mass of
scattered peat, amounting to no less than
SO, 900 tons, lay over the town. A boy of
I and an old man named Patrick Heating
were lost. At the date of the dispatch,
fourteen days after the slide, people liv-
ing near the inundated parts were fearful
of another disaster, and we're constantly on
the alert.

The presidents wife is ono Of reading.
Her library is composed Of a couple OF
hundred volumes, varied in character,
but with the elements Of fiction largely
predominating. Strangely enough. it
contains Locke's Essay on the Under
standing" which Is said to be one of Mrs.
Cleveland's favorite books. Besides
Locks there are a few other philosophi-
cal works. some polemical treatises by
Presbyterian divines, twenty or thirty
historical works. and as many poems;
the rest are novels. OF the novelists,
Mrs. Cleveland likes ~Ouida" most. She
regards Wanda" as the finest piece OF
fiction in the language. She has read
the book many times, and committed to
memory several Of the passages descrip-
tive of the Austrian Alps. Mrs. Cleve-
land is also an admirer Of ~TheD Duchess"
and has ever a few volumes Of Bertha
NJ. Clay in her collection. 1t must be re-
membered, however, that the library is
not the selection Of pure womanhood,
but is composed Of volumes most d
which were purchased while she was at

Young James Blank, whose father is
among the ~millionaires, lounged into a
tailor shop some weeks ago and ordered
a suit of clothes. The suit vas sent to
the young mans hotel, but OF course the
tailor got no money for it. A fe day
ago as Master James was passing by the
tailor shop the bland proprietor hailed
him with a smile.
why, Master James," he said, that
Goa is horribly wrinkled, come in and
we will press it for you" Unsuspect-
ingly he entered and surrendered the
coat. Then something was wrong with
the vest. and that too was taken down
stairs for treatment. The tailor next de-
clared that the trousers might be i'm
proved upon. They were given up and
the youth accommodated with a seat in
the dressing room.
Now said the willy tailor, you will
have to send a messenger boy to your
room for your other clothes, for 1 am
afraid we can not let you have this suit
again unless you lquidate the bill in
full"
Young Master James begged hard fol
his clothes, but the tailor was memorable
and much to his disgust he resumed his
winter garments, and departed. San

Preparing for a Grand Time.

ST. LOUIS. Aug. 1.-THE preparations
for the grand t~rennisl c%onclave of knights
Templar. which is to be held here rex
month. are rapidly approaching compile
tim and will be as complete and satisiac-
tory as possible. The chairman of the
general committee reports that he already
has positive advices that 80, 200 Knights
Templar accompanied by $4,000 mem
bers of their families will be here, and
that fully 100000 other persons
will be preseot TO witness and
share in the great demonstration. Good
quarters will be provided for everybody
who desires to come. The accommoda-
tons already at the command Of the com
mittee are more than ample to meet the
present demands. The Order of the
Eastern Star, which holds the same rela
tons to the Masonic fraternity that the
Daughters of Rebecca do TO the Odd Eel
lows, will hold its annual convention dur
ing conclave week, and preparations are
being made to give It's lady members a
fine entertainment daring their stay.

CHICAGO, Aug. 1.-THE Irish Ma
tional League committee held a session
to night, and decided to name Judge
James Fitzgerald. Of Cincinnati, as chair
man. Judge Fitzgerald is regarded as
conservative. and it is expected that his
nomination will meet with the approval
of all delegates present in convention.
Owing Il the delay OF Treasurer O'Reilly
in arriving and consequent delay in pre-
pairing credentials of delegates the con-
ventien will not be called to order until 2
O'Clock morr afternoon. The Mass
achnsetts delegation held a caucus this
evening and the names of john Boyle,
O'Reilly and o A. Collins were suggest
ed for presidency, but it was stated that
neither of the gentlemen would accept the
position. Without taking any further
action it was decided to await the arrival
Of the New York delegation. The oppo-
sition, therefore, have not as yet decided
upon anyone to support for president.

Foreign Affairs.

LONDON. Aug. ia dispatch from
Simls says that the British Afghan com
mission will return to In liza in september
via Cabul. -h-l
Gladstone will neither initiate or pro-
long the discussion with reference t Ire
land in reply to the queen 5 speech. His
followers acquiesce in this decision. AL
though speeches from the throne will not
indicate Lord Salisbury $ Irish policy, it Is
understood that either Lord Randolph
Churchill or Sir Michael Hicks Beach
during the debate will intimate that a
message will be introduced next year deal
ing with the Irish government and land
questions. Gladstoniaus will accept such
intimation as sufficient pledge for the
present; but the Parnellites appear to be
determined to press for details, in which
event further discussion will probably en-.
sue. As soon as the address has been
adopted the government will move that
supply bills have precedence.
1t is believed that Notwithstanding the
expectation of the Parnellites, the house

Of new bills in the present situation, aud

several Of the leading Parnellites are
either already absent or Arranging for an
early departure from the scenes OF parlia-
ment. Probably Mr.. Parnell is waiting

is no matter for surprise that while the
Chicago convention is pending many of
the separaust party are restless and un-
easy. 3.
The Daily Ne4os says: Should the
Irish delegates at Chicago fail to silence
or expel the advocates Of dynamite, the
whole world will regard the convention
with indignant contempt. .Dynamiters
can best be dealt with by rope If Rosa
was hung the world would be ridded of a
cowardlv knave. The chief interest in
the Chicago convention, however, centers
in the fact that the Irish delegates have
resolutely set their faces not only against
dynamiters but against violence in any
shape. Referring to the probable Tory
policy. the Neus says that there was never
less reason to proclaim a nation al league
than now.

Washington Notes.

WARRINGTON, Aug. 1.-THE secretary
Of the interior to day drew warrants on
the treasury department for 81. 1852. 43O
on account Of quarterly payment of pen
sions. 80
Some time ago Acting Secretary Fair
child instructed MI. Krites, chief of the
division of abandoned property, to carry
into effect the provisions Of an act of con-
gress authorizing the secretary of the
treasury to deliver to the nghtful owners
certain articles of jewelry, etc., captured
by the United States army during the
civil war and deposited in the treasury
department. Mr.. Krites has accordingly
prepared rules and regulations which
will govern the restoration of all such ar
tlcles and has just concluded an examina
ton Of the articles on deposit. They are
contained in two boxes and consist Of sill
verware, jewelry, portraits, watches. etc.
watches. gold, silver and brass. and a
number ofjackknives, pocketbooks. letters
etc. These were mainly taken from pris
oners Of "a who died in hospitals
around Washington. Cape Lookout and
Elmira, and were deposited in the treas
ury by Gen. Ketchum. All articles which
have not been restored by application
will be- advertised for one year from this
time and will be sold at public auction
1t is expected that a formal exchange of
copies of the extradition treaty between
the United States and Japan will soon be
announced from Toxic. and that its pro
mitigation by the two govern ments will
take place Immediately thereafter. This
treaty was ratified by the United States
senate on the 2lst of last June, but the
senate made some minor amendments in
its text which rendered it necessary that
the document should be again submitted
to the Japan authorities. Information
has now been received that japan accepts
the amendments and is ready for the last
step in the matter-formal exchange.
The Japanese authorities are quite enthu-
sisstic over the contamination of this
but not so much on account OF its
provisions, which are similar in general
terms to those Of the existing treaty be
tween the United States and Great Bri-
tain, as because of the the fact that it
a step in the progress of that
nation toward a position Of equality with
the most enlightened nations Of the earth.
A meeting of prominent citizens was
held to night, to consider the project of
in this city a national drill contest.
1t was the sense OF the meeting. that the
week in May, 1887, should be the
time, as more fitting the convenience of
citizen soldiery everywhere, and as per
the ceremonies to close with a
general gathering Of soldiers from all
tates on Decoration Day at Arlington.
L was agreed that not less than $40. 900
Ihould be subscribed.
