ing. out mono can deny that IL Is logical anu
natural. There are 10000 humble dock labor
ers in London alone. who at this moment are
earning better wages and working fewer hours
because OF the intercession and labor. I'M
grudelnRly given. in the depth Of winter three
years ago Of an old man who. although prince
Of the Church. has died poor.
Tho amount Of practical good done BY Car
dlnal Manning or under his direction among
the poor OF London and the value Of his direct
services to tho cause Of labor and social re-
form cannot now be estimated: but working
men here realize in measure the value OF the
friend they have lost. and in their impulsive.
perhaps "dtsloyal." way are endeavoring to
emphasize the fact.
A personal friend Of the late Cardinal writes:
1T Is we'll known with what affection he was
regarded by the very poorest In his own COM
munity. and he was very proud OF his body
guard IS he called one or two rough laboring
men who had constituted themselves his pro-
tectors after seeing him on various occasions
struggling through dense crowd on his way
to Miscarriage after preaching Latterly these
self-appointed guardians OF his person always
arrived Of their own accord whom he was full
filing his public engagements. and. having
performed their labor Of love. disappeared un-
til the next time their services were required"
Cardinal Manning often expressed wonder
that he had lived so long. and for some time
past he had felt that his life's work was nearly
done. He continually expressed his thankful
ness that though his body was 80 weak his
mind was still unclouded. He replied quite
recently to an inquirer after his health:
"Thank you. am quietly slowing into the
station" And So" wrote his friend the
Bishop Of Stafford. latter gentle and gradual
slackening Of vital speed the well-worn ma
chine ceased to work. and in perfect faith and
all contentment has passed away one OF the
keenest intellects and brightest spirits OF our
age.'
The action Of the knights Of Labor In
cabling q long message Of sympathy to Car
dinal Manning's secretary has been much ap-
preciated by workingmen here. The funeral
will take place on next Thursday. and the
London Dockers' Union. London Trades
Council. and other labor organizations will be
represented. The body has been placed in
the Chapele Ardente at the Archbishop's
house in Westminster. 1t lies on a purple
cushion fringed with gold. The body Is clothed
In full canonicals. the gloved hands are Joined
on the breast. and the thin. sscetio face wears
alook Of profound peace and repose. But for
the extreme psllor one could hardly dis
tinguish the expression Of the face from that
Of deep sleep. The head IL surmounted by q
white nitro. beneath which the worn features
look very small. The catafalaue is roped In.
and within the enclosure six purple wax
candles will burn until the body Is removed.
The round hat OF the cardinalate. with it's
many pendants or tassels disposed around 1t,
lies near tho feet. The official ring is on the
third finger OF the right hand. outside the purple
glove Behind the bier large silver cross
has been raised upon background Of black.
Col. North took several representatives OF the
American turf to visit his training quarters at
Newmarket on Wednesday. The party COM

place about noon. Sherwood. the trainer. first
brought out the three year-olds. and Lady
Hermit was greatly admired by the visitors.
This mare has q great chance for the Oaks.
more especially now that La Fleche is report
cd broken down. FL Diablo will probably rep
resent the Colonel in the Derby. and should
anything happen to Orme. will have a good
chance for the blue ribbon Of '92 Among the
two-year. odds the Ally Enita and the colt Royal
Harry attracted most attention. These young
sters are among the entries for the Chicago
Derby Of 1893
About the same party was present at din
ner given at the Continental Hotel on Friday
evening by Tattersalls to their American man
ager. William Easton. Mr.. Hodge. n. p. pre-
sided. and Col. Ochiltree responded to the toast
OF Tho Visitors" Foxhall Keene has been
looking around for breeding farm for the
mares that he recently purchased at Newman
ket. He drove q coach down to the famous
Middle Park farm on Friday. and took look
at the paddocks and loose boxes. This farm.
when owned by Mr. Blenkiron. was
the home Of Gladiator. Blair Athol and other
well-known thoroughbreds. but for the past
seven years has been turned over to the dairy
business. Mr.. Keene will probably lease the
loose boxes and about sixty acres Of the pad
docks for his mares. He has secured nomina-
tions to Ormondo. Barcaldine. and nearly all
the leading stations in England. and will prob
ably bring his mares to America in September
in foal to the best selections that he can make
from English sires He may keep Kathleen IL
and possibly Mavourneen in training this year.
Consul-General Johnston. who has often
sneered at the colonization methods OF the
Germans in Africa. has apparently taken
a leaf out OF their book and has made
poor use OF 1t. He has been defeated by
the Arabs. and there Is for the m oment an un-
easy feeling abroad that British prestige"
may have to be indicated In the customary
fashion by sending redcoats and bluejackets
to shoot down the blacks. But public opinion
hero will not allow the Government to enter
upon another little war for the sake OF British
African traders or Consul General Johnston.
This gentleman asserts. OF course. that he has
been acting against the Infamous slave traders.
That is the usual pretext when things 60
wrong In Africa. either with the Germans or
Englishmen. In this instance. however, there
Is ample room for suspicion that Johnston has
been pursuing methods which The Sun was
recently moved to denounce in the case Of DR..
Karl Peters Johnston was sent out to organ
ize Government. and a force Of Indian Sikhs
was provided for him. He was also en-
powered to enlist natives as policemen It
was his business to cultivate friendship
with native potentates. and not to In
quire too curiously into the slave ques-
ton. which most sensible people believe
will gradually settle itself as tho country be-
comes opened up to Europeans and an outlet
at the coast to markets Is more securely
blocked: but this was evidently too prosaic o
business for Consul General Johnston. who Is
known to possess imperial instincts-" The
result Is that he has gone to war
