Money to Rebuild Charleston.

A Charleston. man has written to
George w. ChIlds, proprietor of the Phila-
delphia Ledger, asking him to form a
syndicate to loan Charleston $40, 0O0, 0C0,
at a low rate of interest, with which TO
rebuild the city. Mr.. Childs is very
philanthrOpic sort OF man, and q rich
one. He may give the request more than
passing notice.
1t Is certain that Charleston will have
to have money from some source,
and great deal OF 1t, II the work OF re.
building the city is pushed forward Wig.
orously. II as many buildings as reported
are damaged beyond repairing it will
doubtless take az much as $10,000,OOO to
put the city In as good condition as il was
before the disaster.
or course, before such a loan could be
obtained, evidence would have TO be pre-.
scnted that the securitv would be ample.
There ought TO be no difficulty about that
! Charleston's business will doubtless re.

main with her, and as the country ABOUT
her grows there is every reason to believe
that it will increase. Her people, there
fore, will be fully able to pay low rate
OF interest on whatever amount may be
necessary to rebuild their homes. II any
should fail TO do so the pledged property
would command all that mad been loaned
upon 1t.
There are good many people In
Charleston who had fine residences and
small incomes who will not be able to re-
build. They could not pay the interest
on money which would be required. They
will, therefore, in all probability, have to
sell their property for whatever they can
get for it to those who are able to remove
the ruins and put up new structures on
the foundations OF the old.
There is plenty Of money seeking invest
ment, ana it is probable that a good deal
Oft would flow towards Charleston if it
were shown that it could be invested
safely and advantageously there. Not be-
ing in volcanic region it is not probable
that Charleston will be disturbed by a de-
structive earthquake again.

THE CoACHMAN HUSBAND.
Earn"st Schilliag Tells bow Victoria
MO -osiuf Made Love to Him.

Earnest Schillng throws light upon his first
acquaintance with his wife in the following
narrative: when I first entered the employ
OF Mr.. Morosni had not been in the stables
more than five minutes before Victoria came
down from the house to see what the new
'coachman was like That was in the morn
ing. In the afternoon she came again, and
thereafter she used to make two visits every
day to look at the horses, and would lolter
around the stables talking with me. She
paid me many little attentions which l con-
strued as acts OF her kind heart, ana the idea
that she was actuated by any other motive
never entered my mind. l was at one time
kicked by horse and received q severe in
jury on my left leg. She came down to the
stables to see me and gave me 50 to pay the
doctor. Afterward she brought me- many
little delicacies at every visit. This continued
until the end of three months, when one day
was surprised beyond me asure to hear her say /:
DO you know l-l-lulT 'WhatP l asked
'L-lul-opposite to eigntY Il don't know what
you mean | said. I did know well by the
way she acted, but l pretended otherwise,

I gu don't mean thatP was my reply. Then
she became angry and reiterated her senti-
ment. Then somebody came along, and when
they had gone she continued in the same
strain. reasoned with her and told her that
we could not live on my slender salary. as she

The Bulgarian Situation.

1t seems to be conceded in England
that the day is not distant when Russia
will occupy Bulgaria and assume abso-
Lutte control of Bulgarian affairs. To
gain Bulgaria is what Russia has been
aiming at. and the other great powers OF
Europe appear to be poweress to prevent
her from carrying out her purposes. 1t
appears to be admitted that the regency
will not prove to be satisfactory to the
Bulgarian people, and that to save them
selves from anarchy they will be forced
to accept Russian domination.
England regards the situation in
Europe as critical, and proposes to look
out for herself. She is doing now as she
has always done, pursuing selfish poll
cy. When Alexander was in power she
was his friend, and he moulded his policy
to suit her wishes. When trouble over
took him she abandoned him. Her idea
now appears to be that Austria cannot
afford to see Bulgaria and Roumeiia &C.
cupIed by Russia, and that eventually
she will be forced into a war with her.
Into this war Germany may be drawn.
This will be agreeable to England If she
can keep out Of it, because Russia, while
engaged in Europe, Will have no time TO
menace England's possessions in Asia.
In view OF Alexander's abdication it
would have been better for his reputation
If he had not returned to Sofia after he
had been released by the Russian
agents who captured him and
carried him beyond the borders Of
his domains. Before his return, how
ever, he did not know, perhaps, that Ger
many was against him.
He has been condemned for aboicating.
He could hardly have done otherwise
unless he felt himself fully equal to the
emergency which confronted him. He
looked on every side for assistance and
he saw nowhere helping hand stretched
out to him. IL he had been equal to the
occasion be might have brought about a
condition OF affairs that would have forced
part OF Europe TO come to his aid. The
Bulgarian people were ready to follow
him, but he was not ready to lead. He
felt that he was not capable of leading in
the troubles which threatened to over.

Charleston's Famous Churches.
From a WasAinoton Latter.

st. Peters church in Charleston is unknown
in the North compared with st. MichaePs
The bells of st. Michael's have made it ia
nous. You remember how the chimes orr gin e
ally sent as gift to the young colony from
England were taken back o England by the
british troops al the evacuation during the
revolutionary war. John Adams, as Minister
to England, immedistely after the treaty Of
peace had been signed at the close of the war.
secured the return of the chimes to Charles
ton, where they were trIumphantly replaced
in the belfrey of st. Michael's by great as
semblage of people. When the Federal cam
non began to play upon Charleston during
the civil war the steeple of 1t. MichaePs on
account of Its prominence, was hit again
and again. The chime was taken
down as soon as possible and removed TO Co.
lumba, the capital of the State, where the
bells were stored in one of the sheds around
the unfinished State capitol. There they
were found by Shermans soldiers when thev
entered ColumNla. Before they left they
broke the be Is to pieces. After the war was
over the pieces of the bells, which had been
carefully preserved. were sent to Enga and to
be recast. The firm which originally cast
them still existed, the descendants Of the
original members having kent the old firm
name. They had COMPLETE descriptions of
the bells in their records and we're able to re-
cast them rs good as new. Once more
they crossed the ocean and once more
were tetrfully and enthusiastically received
and replaced,

Mr.. Bayard and His Critics

Few men have filed the Office OF Score
! tary OF State who have been so mercilessly
criticised and with so little regard for
truth,as Mr.. Bayard Almost from the
time that he entered the State Depart
ment he has been pursued by his politi-
cal enemies, and these enemies are not
all in the Republican party.
1t is true that he has made some mis-
takes, but who is there who doesn't
make mistakes. Some of his appoint
ments have turned out rather badly, but
he has not been permitted, in all in
stances, to exercise his judgment with
respect to appointments. The pressure
for places has been so great that he has
been forced to accept men for the
diplomatic service about whom he knew
nothing.
He has been about as severely criticised
for his course in connection with the Cut
ting affair as any other, and the story that
was published about his special agent
Sedgwick, who was sent to Mexico to get
the facts in the Cutting case, did not tend
to improve the rather unfavorable tone OF
the press toward him.
Only day or two ago the leading Re-
publican paper of OHIO, the Cincinnati
Commercial Gazette, published as COM
ing from high government official, a
statement that the prompt and imperative
demand for Cuttings release, before there
mad been time to find out whether he was
legally and properly held or not, was
made for the purpose Of forcing a war,
the objects in view being, says this
paper, Ito arouse the war spirit OF the
country and direct it 10 the political
sire tightening OF the Democratic party;
and, by the final annexation OF the seven
Northern States Of Mexico, and the ad-
mission of some or all of them INTO the
Union, to so increase the Democratic
strength in the electoral college as to
perpetuate the Democratic party in
power"
This is only a specimen OF the sort of
stuff that is printed in the papers hostile
to Mr.. Bayard for the purpose of injuring
him, the administration and the Demo
cratic party. or course there is no truth
in this story. Mr.. Bayard demanded Cut
ting's immediate release because he
thought he was improperly imprisoned.
Another story started with the inten-
zion of hurting Mr.. Bayard in public esti-
nation is that Mr.. Sedgwick was chosen
to go to Mexico, not because he has any
particular fitness for the place, but be-
cause he belongs to an old and aristO-
cratic family. and had on numerous oc-
casiOns written laudatory articles about
the Secretary. All OF this is without the
least foundation. In our special dis
patches this morning the story of the APP
pointment of MIR. Sedgwick is told. He
is friend of Secretary Whitney, and was
selected on his recommendation. Mr..
Bayard relied upon Mr.. Whitney's judy
ment, and it has not yet been made APP
parent that he made a mistake. Mr.. Bay
ard may not be great man, but he is able
and honest, ard should not be judged on
the evidence of his enemies.

An Interesting Incident

There is no reason to doubt that
Charleston will eventually be put
in about as good a condition as
not going to leave her, ard she is IN a
condition TO handle all the business which
comes to her. Her wharves and ware
houses are not wrecked, and in a few
days they will present a bustlng and
business-like appearance. Indeed, it
would not be surprising if sympathy for
her misfortunes would help to largely in
crease her business.
1t is mentioned as rather curious in
cident that on the evening of Aug. 81, the
date of the great earthquake shock, the
City Assessor of Charleston, Capt. w.
Aiken Kelly, finished a statement show
ing the value OF the taxable property of
the city before the great cyclone Of
August. 1885, and its value at the end of
August of the present year. 1t was a
very gratifying one, because it indicated
that the damage done by the cyclone had
about been repaired, and proved that the
people are not disposed, when misfortune
overtakes them, to think that they are
ruined past recovery, but that they vie W
their troubles phiIosophically and set to
work with stout hearts to overcome them.
Capt. Kelly carried his statement to the
office of the News and Courier for publi-
cation. but owing to the shape in which
it was written it was thought advisable to
delay its publication for a few days until
it could be 80 changed as to make it more
attractive to the reading public. In very
short time after Capt. Kelly left the News
and Courier Office the earthquake &C.
Cured.
The city was in much better condition
to recover from the effects of the cyclone
than it is from those Of the earthquake.
and while the Charleston people will un-
doubtedly prove themselves equal to the
present emergency, it is pretty safe to say
that when the City Assessor snail have
finished his work next year he will not be
able TO show so complete recovery from
the earthquake as that from the cyclone
disaster.
