A few days ago attention was directed in
these columns to the Democratic "slate" for
the fall campaign. This slate was furnished
70 the public by that fine old organ of the
democracy. THE New-York Times" On the
slate appeared the name of Isaac II. Maynard
He was slated for the place which he at present
discracos-on the bench of the Court Of APP
peals. Slated for what reasons? For three
extraordinary ones, which "Ihe Iimess"
correspondent frankly gave. First that 1t
was through his (Maynard's) efforts that a
Democratic Senate was obtained; second, that
his nomination was dictated originally by
David b. Hill, and third. that his nomination

Berlin cable dispatches have considerable to
say about Chancellor Won Capnvls delight
over the passage of the Amy bill. 1t was
indeed a great triumph, won, too, in an open
manly and straightforward fashion. Inc
Reichstag convened on July 4, began serious
work on the 9TH, when the bill was intro
duccd. and on the 18th its business for the
time being was completed. Quick work that.
The Government majority on the measure was
1G. but of the small number of abScntceS 1t
is claimed that four were strongly IN Its favor
so that the majority was virtually 20. 1t does
not necessarily follow however. that steady
majority of that number can be counted on
when the RcichStag meets again and other
business is taken up. But the passage of the
Army bill will have a favorable effect on any
subsequent propositions by the Government.

Mr. Gladstorcs determination to stand again as
a candidate in Midlothian, and not to throw him
self upon the favor OF Welsh constituency, Is
crcditlbc to his courage, in which quality he has
never been lacking At the last election his ma

alarming experience, and one that would strain
the nerves of fcebler man. Mr. Gladstone's

A week from to-day the first of the cheap cX-

that they will run regularly several times week.
The companies, some Of them at least, promise
that the trains shall be made up OF hr''-clasS
cars and while there will be- no sleeping or eating
accommodations, pains will b. taken to insure the
comfort Of passengers. The arrangements which
have finally been made by the railroads for cheap
tronsnortation TO the Fair will doubtless prove ii
success.

The question of closing the Worlds Fair on
Sunday is not quite settled yet for there Is an
Injunction still extant granted by a state
court. forbidding the directors to close up on
that day; but no doubt this obstacle will be
cot out of the way before next saturday In
all probability yesterday was the last open
Sunday. In view of the object to which the
receipts were to be devoted, the general ex-
mediation was that the attendance would be
large. This did not prove to be the case, but
as most of the pass holders paid their way IN,
the sum realized for the families OF the dead
firemen will be considerable.

MFR. Randolph, Superintendent of the Denver
CITY Cable Railroad, who happens to be III
New York on business, is amazed at the slow
rate of speed of our Broadway cable cars, and
plainly intimates that such snail pace would
not be tolerated in any Western city. Mr.
Randolph's criticism is entirely just The
speed of the cable cars is ridiculously slow,
while the tremendous clatter and noise the
drivers keep up couldn't be worse if the cars
instead of creeping leisurely along, were whlsk-
ing by at the rate of thirty miles an hour. In
this, as in other forms of rapid transit, New
York is away behind the times, and it really
begins to look as if nothing would rouse 1t
from its lethargy but the deadly trolley.

the presentiment have mentioned. I
judged him to be at least fifty years
old, though his face was plump and
unwrinkled. His features were bold
and handsome; there was a twinkle TO
his eye and an cver-recurring smile
upon his face that made him seem the
most charming OF men. Short curls OF
chestnut hair ran all over his head.
His dress was rich in material and
fashionable In cut diamonds were in
his shirt-front. and an immense soli-
