The Philadelphia Press still keeps up its frantic howl abbot these " special " cables which it declares the Times steals. In its anxiety te convict the Times of the theft it charges it qsite overlooks the fact that it discloses te Its readers that it has been deliberately misrepresenting a cable dispatch te be special te itself when its own testimony shows that the same dispatch was open te purchase by any one newspaper in every town in the country. The Philadelphia right te this special dispatch was intended te be first offered by the agent of the proprietors te the Ttmcs.but owing te the absence of its editor and its manager from the city the Press get the first opportunity te buy it ; but as there seem te have been two agents the Ttdics also get an " ex clusive " copy of the " special." The whole story is of itself of no consequence and would net be worth noticing but for the development which it makes of the disingenieusness and discreditable in. clinatien te trickery and untruthfulness exhibited by journals which profess te stand en a high plane of morality and from it assume te teach the people. The lessens they preach, being shown net te spring from a pure heart and an honest conscience, are worthy of little weight due te the source whence they come. Neither of these journals had a right te give their readers te understand they were furnishine them with a cable dis patch which the readers of no ether people en this side of the water enjoyed. And the journal that had the audacity te charge upon its neighbor the theft of a special dispatch, which was net only net special te it, but which it knew had been bought from these who claimed authority te sell it, has exhibited a rad ical inclination te misrepresentien which may be expected te exhibit itself whenever it is invited thereto by its supposed but very mistakenly sup sup eosedself interest. Such small busi ness does net pay, even in an advertising way, a journal whose conduct should always give it a nobility of appearance equal at least te the size .of its preten sions. . 9 Wisely Vetoed. The governor has given another wise veto in disapproving the bill enabling married persons, living separate and apart, te dispose of their separate real estate without consulting each ether. We de net very well understand hew such a measure received legislative approval ; unless the Legislature is disposed te con. sider the maritial relation one which may preQtably be abolished altogether . and the contracting parties be permitted ' te live together when and hew and se long as they please: and when they de net please, te separate ; pro vided only there is a mutual agree ment te that effect. If it is te be the policy of the state that marriage may be dissolved whenever both parties are will ing, why does net the Legislature say te in se many words ; instead of maintain ing the present law which forbids a dis solution of -marriage through the con. nivanceef the parties,and prevents their divorce without perjury, unless they have substantial grounds te allege for it. If married folk are permitted te live apart and te have their property a paiti they are about as nearly divorced as tliy can get ; and they should be allowed the name as well as the game. Probably tjiis bill passed the Legisla ture without consideration, being one without political aim and only concern ing the happiness of the people. The representatives from the oil re gion are charged with having united with the street railroad interest of Phil adelphia te defeat the repeal of the railway bill, demanded by the people of the city ; the consideration received by the oil men being the votes eftheiail read representative against the bill te tax petroleum. The trade seems te be substantiated by the vote. The conse quence of it was that neither the bill te repeal the obnoxious railway act nor that te put a tax en petroleum re ceived the necessary number of votes ; and by the defeat of both, measures de manded by the people and in their in terest have been defeated. This result being the work of men who have lately, been calling loudly for protection against the Standard oil company, as a monopoly most hurtful te the interests of the state, clearly shows that the representatives of these who are injured by Uiis monopoly care nothing at all for the interests of the state, but are solely concerned with what they consider te be their own in terests. In the light of which delivery, they will hereafter be treated. We must except from thejust denunciation earned by the representatives of the oil country, Messrs. Hulings and Nelsen, one He publican and one Democrat, who -did net trade their votes- The Press complains that thegever nor has done wrong te a worthy clasi of people in vetoing a bill intended te give landlords, restaurant and bearding house keepers a lien net only en the baggage of their boarders, as they new have, but en all their property. It strikes us that the governor did right. The lien en the baggage is all that this class of creditors are entitled te. They can and usually de ask from strangers without baggage pay in advance, and necessity will compel the boarder te provide Grst for his landlord. It Is doubtful whether bearding house pre prieters lese a larger share of money owing them than1 any ether clas3 of creditors; certainly they need no further special protection of the law. m It is reported by " a person in the confidence of President Arthur," that he is net a candidate for reelection and leeks forward with intense lengine te the day of his release from the irksome reapensiblities of his present station. This is net an unreasonable supposition though few men who have held the place have gene out of it at the end of their first term without reluctance. Mr. Arthur can probably quit with mere credit at the end of his first trial than if he allowed himself te go further and de worse. The beard of health has acted none te seen nor tee radically in the matter of quarantining the prison and protect ing ihfi eitv from the spread of the smallpox prevailing there, te a degree which the management of the institu tion does net seem te have appreciated. It was a mistaken policy te have under rated the dangers which ensued from the prevalence of such a disease in such a place, xne necessity ier a eywiai building for hospital purposes, new and in the future, is apparent and the ether recommendations of the health beard are se salutary that all concerned will doubtless promptly carry them out. If thi3 is done there is no occasion for special alarm among our citizens.theugh it will be well for all te de everything needful and possible te prevent the spread of the contagion. In such mat ters especially, an ounce of prevention is worth pounds of cure. The repeal of the street railway act, which is claimed by the Philadelphia people te be offensive because it gives the street railways control of the city streets has been defeated by the lack of a constitutional majority and, as it seems, by a combination of the enemies of the measure with the oil men who are anxious te prevent the imposition of a tax en thejr staple. Frem a party standpoint the chief responsibility for the defeat of the measure rests with the Republicans, as the Democrats furnished G7 of the95 votes for it and the Republi cans 30 of the 49 votes against it. The action of thp supreme court of the state in affirming Judge Church's decision against the Standard oil com pany in its wrestle with the Tidewater is a serious backset te the great mo nopoly. It checks its attempt te get control of its greatest and only consider able rival and gives the Gewen manage ment of the Tidewater free course. OBSERVANCE OP SUNDAY. Among the many problems that will net down at the bidding of the student of sociology, few have occupied a larger space in the minds of advanced thinkers, and none have presented roero difficulties in their solution, than the question hew shall Sunday be properly observed. Re ligious alarmists assert that the tendency te the secularization of the day, which is becoming mere and mere manifest, marks the rapid dccadecce of faith in Christi anity, while ethers profess te see in it a healthful sign of the prosperity and con tent of the American peeple. Be this as it may. no one can deny the patent fact that in the larger American cities the major portion of the population no net attend religious servieas en Sunday, but seek for recreation and relaxation in the many parks, beer gardens and mere questionable resorts in which great cities abound. Public attention lias been areused te the necessity of some action in the matter, as the recent failure of the Sunday laws te effect their purpese in New Yerk marks that the existing condi tion of affairs lias deeper roots thau would at first glance seem probable. The New Yerk Tribune recently gath ered some statistics in the metropolis of the nation, which are very interesting in connection with the study of Sunday eV- servance. Out of a total population of 1,400,000, the number of church members are placed at 000,000, while 123,000, in round numbers, are iu attendance - at Sunday schools. This leaves remaining a b.tlauce of 075,000, who in different fenns pass the day without the assistance of any religious worship. Thus it is seen that a little less than one half of this vast popu lation de net see the inside of a church en the Sabbath. The . same journal pre pounded a series of quef tieus te seven rep resentative ministers of the mere protni pretni neut oreeds te elicit, if possible, their views en the existing state of -popular Sunday observance aud its tendency, te gather with their suggestions a.s te the best course te be pursued by the religious community in the matter, both with ref erence te themselves and te the ceininuni ty at larce. Rev. Dr. Henry C. Petter, representing the Episcopalian view of the question, takes the ground that the secularizitien of Sunday is due te the vast influx of unas similated foreign citizens, who have baen accustomed te a holiday observance of the occasion. The whole question resolves itself into whether or net man is a spirit ual being with spiritual needs, or a mere machine wound up by meat aud drink. Even in the latter eveut cessation from toil is demanded one day iu the week if man's physical structure would ba kept iu the best state of preservation. The body demands poriedi-j rest in order te ac CJmplish the highest kind of labor. Should Sunday beceme as ether days the evil will fall with particular severity ou the laboring class, and it becomes the duty of theso who make the laws and mould public sentiment te see te it that the cupidity, of employers or empleyes shall net take from them their hard-earned freedom from toil en Sunday. Rev. Dr. Heward Cresby, Presbyterian, holds te the belief that Sunday is entirely aii individual matter, belonging te the in dividual conscience aud te be treated by the individual judgment. The law makes Sunday a day of rest; it does net aim te make men religious. It appeals te their oeurtcsy net te disturb the worship of their fellows, and te their regard for the laws of hygiene in the mandate te abstain from manual labor en that day. Sunday rest should be divorced from the idea of religious compulsion and stricter Sunday observance would be the outcome. The genial Unitarian, Rev. Dr. Rebert Celly er, insists upon the necessity of a day of rest for the working classes. Only thus may be regained the pewer which during the week has passed into the hammer, the the engine, the plow and the pen. The evil results of denyingthis small been were witnessed in the Paris Commune of 1871. Libraries, museums and galleries should open their doers te these who can at no ether time visit them, and churches should be rendered se attractive that people will go there as " wild pigeons go te a wheat stack," Dr. William M. Tayler, Congregation Cengregation Congregatien aliat, illustrates the differences between the ancient observances of the Sabbath under the Mosaic law, and its modern ob servance under the New Testament with ! the remark that "the former was a book of rubrics ; the latter ia one of principles." The first went into details of observance, while the last allows the individual te mould the forms of obediancetethe divine command according te the dictates of his I conscience. Government cannot, as at present constatuted,cempel the observance of any purely religious dogma, and all that Christians can ask is immunity from interruption during worship. The true remedy is the evangelization of the people as a whole, and attempts Bheuld 'net be made te enforce civil enactments, forbidden by the inherent rights of man. Dr. O. H. Tiffany, Methodist, 'takes a mere hopeful view of the situation, and thinks it unfair that statistics showing the prevalence of Christian benevolence and charity are net given along with these exhibiting the growth of irreligien. The persuasive power of religious eloquence and net the authority of legislation must be invoked if ministers would have larger audiences. The present lack of attend ance at divine services is in all probabil ity a reaction from the compulsory ebser vance of the day, the passing away of which Puriatanical requirement is net te be regretted. In the opinion of Dr. William Ormiston, an eracle of the Dutch Reformed church, all that wise and judicial legislation can effect is te allow evey citizen the peace ful enjeyment of Sunday as a day of rest. The work of the community, like that of the household, should be se arranged that no one will be wholly deprived of the privileges of rest and worship en that day. The responsibility rests with Christian people of commending its observance by their example te these who differ with theei in opinion as te its efficacy and necessity. Dr. Themas Armitage, Baptist, ex piesses the opinion that the ancient Puri tanical strictness of Sunday's observances has been laid aside, but that genuine reverence- for the day is the Bame as of yere. Modern iconoclasm has done little te re move the deep seated love that the great body of the population has for the Sab bath, aud the present methods of observ ing it differ from these in vegue iu inore ancient times, in a less strict compliance with cold, unmeaning forms. A Catholic divine who was invited te contribute te this interesting symposium made no rcspouse. . If theso perfectly patriotic souls who object te the opening of the Brooklyn bridge en the queen's birthday could in duce a cycloue te try conclusions with the structure they might make some people believe that nature sympathizes with them. Twe Chinamen in New Yerk were ar rested for gambling. The celestial cul prits were brought before the august in terpreters of law, aud thou discharged. The court appeared te be able te compre hend Solen, Justinian and Blackstone; but it had neglected Confucius, and was, therefore, unable te translate the name of the game played. Feil ten days telegrams have flashed ever the cables bearing as their burden the hopeless illusss of the count of Cham ford, who, a geed many people think, will be king of France iu the net far distant future. Elaborate pbituary notices were prepared, and in some cases printed in the journals, and weighty leaders were placed befere their readers. The prince was ex pected te die, was dying, was dead in three dispatches, and a fourth bsgan it all ever again But the public will rest new The prince had sprained his leg, aud is new well. Tue czar is at Moscow, within the Kremlin, that vast and magnificent citadel se typical of the extent and puissance of the Russian empire. " Everywhere the enthusiasm is unbounded ; multitudes throng the churches te pray for the safety of theempsrer," say the telegram?, and little alarm aud less dauger is apparent. There are wonderful precautions being taken te protect the czar, but it is the easiest thing possible for enemies te be surging and throwing up their caps with the rest of the throng, as St. Petersburg learned wheu Alexander II. fell shattered t ) death ou the Catherine canal. It will be remembered that Mrs. Lang try detested Pittsburgh, Anether woman ssetns te have had occasion te feel ag grieved at the smoky city, as a physician giving in hi3 exporienc3 at the congress of the American laryugolegioal association, relates that ence he was called te pre seribj for Emma Abbett in that city, whom he found suffering from an attack of hysteria, which had been brought en by the discovery that she was temporarily unable te strike the high notes demanded of bar at that evening's concert, ner general health seemed te be perfectly geed. no examined her larynx, and found it normal, with the exception of a thin coating of favorite Pittsburgh soot, which completely covered one of the mns cles. The soot had caked, and beceme quite hard, aud was with difficulty re moved by the use of moisture and a deli cate brush. They keep en in th9 even tenor of an effective if net a pleasant way in the matter of the disposal of individuals who make excaedingly free with the revolver in the southern parts of the country. Last November .C. M. Burgess shot and killed a man in the streets at Henrietta, Texas. Th6 ether day in a quarrel, begun from a trivial cause, but intensified by the mutual insults of an old feud, W. R. Curtis, a great Texas cattle king, whose extensive ranges in his state have been lively themes for Texas scribblers, with great dexterity put several bullets into the body of Mr. Burgess, killing him. Of course public sentiment is with Curtis,and his vindication is assured. One ehief feature of this transaction is in the eternal fitness of things as viewed by the ready handed sous of Texas in the way of ene evil destroying another. Nothing should be done te prohibit this proceeding, since it is much mere suited te native honor, and less expense te the state. Somebody is uceded new te go for the cattle king. The pages which recite the adventures and the dangers, the injuries and the death of the early pioneers who crossed the plains te the geld ribbed gulches off the Pacific slope or wended their weary way ever the Western prairies and encountered I the het days of the summer, the frigid temperature of the winter and the stealthy and murderous attack of the Indians with meagre facilities of resistance, are read with interest and call forth commiseration. Bat they are associated with what has been. Time has softened the poignancy of their miseries and the greatness of these regions new overshadows the early defeats. In these later days the settler makes his habitation secure through the means of modern progression, the country sees the savage fees of the earlier adven turers " sinking into the setting sun," and congratulates itself. New, however, peo ple stand appalled at the calamities un precedented in extent and intensity, that almost daily overwhelm Western states, and the results of which make a recital of suffering, of almost impossible occurrences and of death that vies with the most thrilling tales of the early border horrors. Storm clouds descend iu portentous shape te the earth and crush into tumulteus ruin populous towns, and the waters rush from the mountains in Dakota territory and hurl from their foundations half of the houses of thriving cities. These meteor ological phenomena have certainly never been surpassed, if equalled, in their severity and disastrous results, and may well tend te call the sympathies of the people of the undisturbed parts of the country te the sufferers and te incite the scientists te a discovery of the cause of the unparalled disturbances. Fer theso who delight in the sort of gossip hashed up by (Je.) " Heward" and "Oath" for the Philadelphia Sunday papers there ought te be a rich treat hi store in the coming Lord's day publica tions. Mr. Sanferd, of Freddie Gebharfs "set," surnamed the Amsterdam Pet, after dining at Delmenico's the ether night was hailed by Freddie about the hour wheu graveyards yawn and asked where he and his hilarious friends wero going. Wheu told that they were about te call en seme ladie3 F. G. made some re flections en the character of the ladies who would receive them at that uusBem uusBem lyheur. The Amsterdam Pet reterMd that they were as geed as Freddio's frienus and that he'd probably call ou Mrs. Lang try. Freddie promptly called him a blank liar aud the words were hardly spoken until the Pride of the Lily was laid low and in a threo reuud scriminage he was quite used up. But this is the smallest garae that ' Gath " and " Heward" can gun for. It seems that earlier in the even ing Maud Harrison's big brother, Duncan, metGeorge Alfred Towasend (" Gath") at the Grand hotel and pounded him be cause ha alleged Mr. Towasend had writ ten in the Philadelphia Times something te the disparagment of Miss Maude Har rison, who is net ealy an aatres3 but a sister of Mr. Harrison himself, te which Mr. Townsend with due caution, returned an ambiguous reply. In Mr. Townsend's letter, spaaking of the prevailing morals in the Union Square theatre, he said : A rising yeuug actress there was living with another man of fauiiiy, in open adul try, under her own parents' reef. .It happened that Maud Harrison was "a rising young actrcs3 there ;" that she lived " under her own parents' ree," that said reef covercd the house next deer te wheie Geerge Alfred Townsend lived, that Je. Heward, whose late place en the Times "Gath" new fills, has leaseu te knew what " man of family" he wan driving at. Therefore if the 1'imes and Press New Yerk letters arc net unusually variegated next Sunday it will he because their cor respondents de net appreciate that when the cessips eessip about each ether their gossip is especially gossipy. FEATURES OP THE STATE PRESS. The Wilkesbarre Recerd seems te re gard Charles A. Dana somewhat seriously as a presidential candidate. The Pittsburgh Dispatch leeks for im pertant consequences arising out of the pope's opposition te Parnellisrn. The Nornstewu limes, published ou the briny Schuylkill, iR opposed te the pilot bill. The Oil City Derrick, net unfrieudly te the Standard, is " furninst" the proposed tax en oil. The Wilkesbarre Union Leader thinks the Senate judiciary committce has erred" against justice in negatiying the employ er's liability bill. The Reading Times thinks the Press show mere enterprise in getting Spur Spur geen's sermons by cable than Spurgeon shows in getting them up. The gallant anu appreciative llarrisburg Telegraph declares that the present gen eration has doue inore for woman's ad vancement than all the long ages preced ing. Hearing that a married colored woman, residing in Perry county, recently eave birth te triplets, one of which was white. the Juniata Herald suggests "that perhaps there wasu t enough color te go around." It is net conclusive te, the Pittsburgh Pest that because Seymour is tee old and Pattison tee yeuug, the Democracy is iu a condition of orphanage as te candidates for the presidency. The Harrisburg Independent thinks Fair and Taber are leading us back te the days when it was no uncommon occurreneo for a Reman lady or gentleman te meet four or five of his or her former wives or husbands in the same assembly. The Puiladelphia Truth proposes te pub nsn a uistencat nevei, tin scane lam in the city of Brotherly Leve about the time of tbe Revolutionary war, and the tale te be called, of course, "The Fighting Quaker, a Philadelphia story of Leve and War." Notwithstanding Dr. Herrick Jehnsen, the Pittsburgh Telegraph insists that there never was an occasion since the alleged scarcity of Presbyterian preachers when the church did net furnish as fine examples of pastoral fidelity and of Christian cour age as she ever did. The West Chester Republican intimates that the leading New Yerk journal which bewails the decadence of Quakerism "for want of young bleed" does net knew what it talks about, as the Society of Friends is net only net losing ground for want of new and young bleed being infused, but the figures show it is actually gaining in point of attendance and membership of meet- Kings.

The precession then,cntered the Kremlin. ine emperor were tne uniform el a general and was meunted en a splendid charger. He rode a little in advance et the four generals who were directly attend ing him. He maintained a calm demeanor although he often smiled graciously in response te the wild enthusiasm which greeted him at very point.

At the moment the cortege entered the city a salute of 71 guns was fired from the Tskarskaia Place. The governor general received the emperor at the city boundary and joined the cortege with his suite. After entering the Kremlin court, offi cials presented their majesties with bread and salt en plates of silver and geld. When their majesties retired balls pealed and a salute of 101 guus were fired. The streets tnreugh which the proces preces sion passed wero badly paved. The duke of Edinburgrodelin the rear aud en the left side of the czar. The duches3 of Ed inburgh sat in the second coach from that in which the empress rode. In the red square 0,000 school children iu white robes sang " Life for the Czar." At this point the enthusiasm of the multitude and the and the playing of the bands produced a great din. The general verdict is that the pageant was a great success. . General Sturm, the head master of ceremonie?, was thrown from his horse and had his scull fractured. Temperance ami Prohibition.

At Cincinnati the trees, roefa and hilltops were covered with ene te two inches of snow, and many branches of trees were broken down. The snow was all geno at ten o'clock in the morning, " leaving no signs of blight en leaf or fruit."
