Russia seems to be once more industrl-
ously engaged in suggesting candidates
for the Bulgarian throne, which she re-
CARDS as legally vacant; and having some
time since exhausted the possibilities OF
Mingrelia for that purpose, she appears to
have turned her attention to Montenegro
In view of the well-known Russian pro-
cliviries of this little State,it would hardly
appear to Austria, TO say nothing OF
Bulgaria herself and of Servia, as the
most promising field OF search for unob-
jectionable candidates. And if this Is
obvious under ordinary circumstances, it
becomes particularly so at this moment,
after the exploits OF Nabokoii, the Mon
tenegrin adventurer, and his efforts TO
establish well-known cause. ~ Y.

We ask for information then, what Is
meant by waving the bloody shirt ?
The origin Of the phrase is well known,
and the early application of it, It is well
understood, was 10 persons who were
eaid to be trying wrongfully to keep
alive the passions o; the war. To
that extent It's use was legitimate.
But it has come now 70 DO loose
" applied TO many other things that
have no connection with the war. For
example, if a man condemn the political
murders by which the Republican party
has been cowed ont OF existence IN sew
eral Southern States, be Is waving the
bloody shirt" For him there is term
OF reproach; for the criminals there is
none. So, too, II man condemn the
midnight whippings, threats and intimi-
dations and frauds in the South, he is
"waving the bloody shirt" There is 10
condemnation for the men who commit
these crimes, but the man who ventures

nounced in the Democratic and dough-
face newspapers as without patriotism,
as waving the bloody shirt."-N T.

But he seems TO consider them all towards.
They know, says Mr.. Arnold, perfectly
well how false and hollow the boastful
stuff talked is, but they let the storm OF
selt-laudation rage, and say nothing Even
IN private, adds he, many Of the most cul-
tivated Americans shrink from the sub
ject and are irritable and thin-skinned
when 1t is canvassed
What an amazing people we are! We
seem not to have liked being told, even by
MIR. Arnold, in his 0lympian way, that We
are nation Of ignoble braggarts, living as
he he now says, in q FOOLS paradise.
Worse still. perhaps, we have, by contin-
uing our self-deception, shut against our
selves the door to Improvement. We know
something, ii appears, about politics and
society. In what concerns the solving OF
the political and social problem we see clear
and think straight In what concerns the
highest civilization we are blind and stu
pid. Is that credible account, do not
say OF America, but OF any people who
ever existed? / end as | began. This
lampoon on America comes from too high
a quarter to be neglected, or to be met
with ridicule only Sir Lepel Griffin was
nothing, his book was nothing. No Amer
lean cared for his calumnies. Sir Lepel
attained to his highest importance when
he became the peg on which a mightier
indictment than his was hung.
Mr.. Arnold-we cannot too completely
concede II 10 hints among the first, II
not actually the first, OF all living English
men Of letters. His paper appears in the
leading review OF the day. II is by far
the most damaging as II is the most acri-
m Al nj az be A
II supposed that any great multitude OF
English were going TO read and believe
this skillful scandal, | should think il
almost an international calamity. Ii will
at any rate delight every Englishman who
dislikes America. In vain does Mr.. Ar
mold appeal to his lifelong detraction Of
his own countrymen. He repeats, / sup
pose by way OF sweetening the dose TO us,
that the English upper class is material
lied, the middle class vulgarized, and the
lower class brutalized. When he chooses
to say such things. he is an Englishman
reviling Englishmen. They may settle
the matter between them. But he now
presents himself as an Englishman ira
ducing Americans before the English pub
lie; an Englishman doing what he can to
ALLEVIATE two kindred nations II he wished
only toread us a lesson, why does he bring
forth hislong-warehoused animositics in an
English instead OF an American periodical?
For my part | never read anything which
i thought more deplorable. Mr.. Arnold
well knows how deep my admiration and
friendship for him, often expressed in
America, have ever been. For that very
reason am bound TO say the more plainly
what | think OF this peevish and splenetic
criticism.

There is not finer or more frequented

There is not one more thickly populated
with elegant residences in the corporate
limits. 1t was about 1890 O'Clock last
night when r. l.. Boone, the driver OF car
No. 81, ON the Poplar street line, had
started on his way back to the city, and but 4
short distance this side Of the turn-tablc,
out on Poplar street, near Dunlap, that
four men, all OF them white, boarded tie
car. They walked straight through to tie
front door, which was open, and Boon
naturally thought they were going to drop
their fare into the box. Half turning
his head to see that the proper
change was deposited, he was al
most paralyzed at the muzze Of
a big, glistening pistol in the hands
OF one OF the men, who held it
full in his face, with the. demand,
I'VE want that So" Boone pluck
lily replied: 81 have no $40 for you. What
do you mean?" AT the same time he
endeavored to pull the handle from the car

the street. They held him and the
murderous wretch stood over him
with the pistol while the fourth
rihed the pockets Of the helpless
man Of S55. The car was in motion at the
commencement Of the high-handed OUT
rage, and kept ON down the street at a
slow gait When the robbery was COM
plete the men let their victim go and ran
in an opposite direction as fast as they
could.
There was nothing left for Boone to do
but to get up, catch bis car and come to
the police station and report the robbery.
This he did, and the police are ON the look
out for the highwaymcn.
The money taken from Boone was his
own, not a cent Of il belonged TO the rail-
road company, rs he had cashed his fares
on his last down town trip. The uniortu-
nate man is very poor and about fifty|
years old. lie came 10 the city from All
corn county, Miss, last January to loolS
for work, and not being able 10 find any
thing else took the position OF car driver.
The boldness with which bighwaymen'
operate on the streets Of this city, is the'
strongest Of the many demands for an in-
crease of the police force, in order that lid
and property may be properly protected
