portions of every article of food intended
for the Emperor, and supenntends the
preparation of most of it herself.
JAMES REDpATH is now in Richmond,
Va, recovering from his recent danger
Gus illness, but he will probably not re-
sume literary work for several months.
THE NEW York CLUB has member
ship of 625 residents and about 200 non
residents, and its new quarters at Fifth
Avenue and Thirty-tifth street cost $780,
600.

April, 1869, is still in service being used
i'm their road construction by the Etowah
Iron and Manganon Company.
Forty YEARS AGO George West, the
Ballston paper manufacturer and we'll
known member of Congress, was working

Fer dropped 20 earth from Paradise;
Her streets In double rows Of green
Are pathways for dryad queen;
Her parks are gracious woodlands deep,
Where daisies dance and Dansles peep;
Where stately tulips bend their stems

where IN some quiet, sheltered spot
There lives the blue forgef-me not;

The Largest Regimental Loss.

The official casualty lists of the Confed
crate forces are not 50 trustworthy as
those of the Union side because they
lave not had the same careful revision
since the war closed, but the tables now
accessible show that the Northern aim
was equally true, and that the Northern
nerve was equally steady. The Twenty

TliE DECISION of the United States
Supreme Court in the Callan conspi-
yacy case yesterday does not touch
upon the constitutionality of the Po-
lice Court of the District, but is plainly
adverse to the decision of Judge Smell
in denying the defendants demand
for "A jury trial and to the ruling of
The court above in support of that de-
cision. In other words, the rights of
am accused person to trial by jury in
al criminal prosecutions" OBJ
lain in the Police Court as well
as in higher or appellate courts.
Whit is not so plain i'll Justice Har-
lan's decision is the distinction to be
drawn between "petty offences" that
may be proceeded against summarily
in any tribunal legally constituted
for the purpose, and offenses that
entitle the accused to "the guarantee
Of an impartial jury" from the first
moment and in whatever courts he is
put on trial" The decision is to be
accepted generally as maintaining the
right involved, whenever demand
is made for it, but where the limit of
magisterial authority or discretion in
fhe premises terminates does not
seem 10 be clearly presented.

INNsNrcu As THE Fisheries treGs5
has been debated freely in England

the Philadelphia Press can see no
good reason "why the United States
should be the only one of the three
countries interested which can not
hear this treaty discussed and decided
in public by its Legislature" The
Press is right on this question; and,
for that matter, a majority of the
people of this country are Of the same
way of thinking. Senator Riddle

the refusal Of the Methodist Confer
encc to admit women delegates was
"disgraccful to the Church, but she
believed that sooner or later the pre-
juAice would die out and women be
given the same voice as men in the
management of church affairs. lIav-
ing the right of ordination to the min
istry, it is but just that they should
have the rights Of ministers. Mrs.
Lockwood's position is sound on this
question and the time will come when
the church, sooner than suffer dis
memberment, will see that full justice
is done to its noble Mothers in
Israel"

IoED WoLsELEY replied to Lord
Salisbury in the English House Of
Lords yesterday afternoon, and while
disclaiming all intention of casting
reproaches upon the government in
his recent after-dinuer speech, in
sisted that what he did say was la
mentally truei that the army is not
well organized; that the defenses of
the Kingdom at home and abroad are
in bad condition, and that an army of
100000 men, once making u landing,
could capture the country. Having
reiterated this statement the General
leaves it to be inferred whore the
blame belongs. lie doesn't say it in
80 many words that the coat fits Lord
Salisbury, but the people evidently so
understand it, and the citizens of Lon
don have already adopted resolutions
nrging the Government to take such
measures as may be necessary for the
national defense.

THE MONUMENT Building Commits
sion has decided finally to set that
proposed new building somewhere
out in the middle of the lot away from
the monument. That's better than
thucking IL down at the base of the
shaft, and now when visitors see it
they will merely ask what it is there
for. Can't the commission give the
subject further consideration, and for
very little additional outlay put the
building in the shape of an archway,
near the street, as an entrance to the
monument grounds? There it will be
appropriate and useful, harmonious
and beautiful. 1t is just as easy to do
a thing right as it is to do it wrong,
and according to the Scriptures it is
those who suffer most who do wrong
knowingly.

TIE AMENDMENT to the Constitution
offered by Mr. Stewart in the Senate
yesterday, providing that Congress
may pass a bill over the Presidents
veto by a majority vote, instead of
two-thirds as now required, is due
undoubtedly to q disagreeable FIRE.
qpency of Executive vetoes during
the present Administration. It signi-
ties am unpleasant relationship be-
tween the executive and legislative
branches of the Government, and
Congress, chafing under repeated en-
Ioachments upon its powers, can
only resort to n constitutional amend
ment for protection; and we really
cannotsee why any greater majority
should be required after than before
= veto i'll order to pass a bill. The
Constitution, as it now stands, gives
tbePresident an undue advantage,
and we are inclined to think that the
proposed amendment is in the right
direction.

We CALL THE ATTENTION of various

WAsHINGToN. d. c., June Ia
General Sheridan passed compar-
atively quiet. night but was some
what disturbed after midnight by
coughing. Attendants at the house
said this evening that he rested well,
relished what he ate, and his appe-
tite seemed to be growing.
A bulletin issued at 8 o'clock to-
night was to the effect that there
was no change in the Generals con-
dltion. His pulse at that time was
from lO4 to 106, of fair volume and
tension. lie conghed but little, and
his respiration remained irregular.
He takes plenty of nourishment,
without any indications of failure
of digestion or assimilation.

YoRK, Pa, June 13.-Miss Mary
Eyster, aged % years, left her home
here at noon to-day, and at Z
o'clock her body was returned to
her parents. The girl had eaten a
hearty dinner, and afterward went
to Mrs. Peiffer's house, whore she
was engaged in sewing. About 5
o'clock she went up stairs, and
when called for supper failed to
respond. Search was made, and
she was found dead in her room.
The cause of her death is reported
to be young man of this city, who
ruined the girl, and than refused to
marry her. She had evidently COM
mitted suicide.

TRuE no Hrs Professions

True To Hrs PROFESSIONS
The critics Who express doubts
about the Presidents sincerity as
civil-service reformer ought to
feel treasured BY the new classified
ton of government employees made
BY the ciyil-seryice commissioners
at his request. The limits OF the
Law are to be extended by the new
regulations so as to include, with
few exceptions, all employees above
the grade Of laborers. All places
under this classification are to be I'LL
ed after examinations, competitive
or non-competitive- The present
classification was made after the
last presidential election and before
the democrats came in, and having
been made, perhaps, with particu-
lar object in view. is very bad
one. The President desires to bring
under the rules railway mail service,
