"If frrant is elecU'il President again,
it may W fur four years, anil it may be
furever." is tiie conclusion of tiie Wash
ington Jiij-iihhc in ri'trartl to the third
Jcrm project.
The regular session of Congress will
commence on Monday next, and a3 the
peaker and other officers of the House,
an well as the officers of the Senate,
were all elected at the extra session,
there need be no delay in both houses
at once proceeding to business. It will
be the session immediately preceding a
Presidential election, and if it accom
plishes any substantial good for the
country, it will prove an exceptionto the
general rule which has heretofore pre-
Senator Bayard's Speech.
At tbe reception given to Hon. Thomas F.
Bayard on his return from Europe, by the
citizens of Wilmington, Delaware, on Tues
day, the II fh instant, that gentleman deliver
ed the following admirable address in reply
to the speech of welcome :
Ml Crairmaw. Ladim akd 0nwi,
Fellow-Cit:zi!. Friekds All: My chief de
sire and my m-iln effort at this mommt Is to let
you limply anil clearly understand the quiet, deep
and sincere happiness with which this welcome,
so spontaneous and expressive, fills my breast.

The new ocean cable which has been
successfully laid between 15rest, in

that tL'is cable is in all respects the best
ocean telegraph that lias yet been laid,

Vailed. There never Was a wiser saying I used where really strong feeling seeks for utter-
than that "the world is governed too
much.'" There are thirty-eight State
Legislatures and a National Congress
which meet annually, at least such was
the case in nearly all the States until
very recently, and enact a frightful
number of laws on all conceivable sub
jects, literally from year to year piling
IVlion uin Ossa, until acts of Assembly
and acts of Congress become confusion
worse confounded. As regards the
coining session, it may be set down in
advance that the making of Presidential
candidates for the contest next year will
be he order of the day, and will swal
low up every other consideration. As

known. When, therefore, the judgment of such a
I court comes to be passed after a full half century
I of trial and experience in private lifo and in puh

i your worthy and venerable chairman has address- j

fears to show Itself lest its genuineness should be
questioned, but there are tlmej and moments
when It Is well to throw oft the veil of reserve and

we are here in an atmosphere of loving kindness,

A THRILLIJ-O STOTIT OF THE 1ATKTE! SKT
HOT-M FIFE IK SEW YORK. j
A reporter of the "Sew York Exprt w visited i
Bellevue hospital Sunday night week for j
the purpose of ascertaining the condition of j
fierman Patrick Lynch, who, after saving two j
children from being burned to death at the j
Canon street fire on Thursday night preced- j
ing, nearly lost his own life m his efforts to ;
i save others. He is burned in a terrible man
i ner, and it is not yet known whether he will
survive or not. From his own lips the writer
i received the following account :
' Was It by the orders of your foreman that you
' entered the burning building?" Inquired thewrt
I ter.
j "No, sir. The foreman, noticing that ft was ex- !
, tremely dangerous to enter. Instructed a-i men i
not to do so. I had no Idea of going In until I saw :
j a lot of children and a woman on the seeorsd toor .
j trying to escape, and scroaming as loud M they ;
I could. 1 knew by the headway the flames were j
j making thit In a second all of them woul.l bo
lost, so I torirot orders, discretion, and everything
else, and rushing through the smoke afcended the j
j staircase. I succeeded in getting a hold of the j
children, and aner making sure of their salety, J
I started after the woman. I knew when 1 ascend- j
ed the second time that I could not return tat .

woman and myseir by getting out on the root. ;
The woman was In her night-dress, and as I grab- j
bed her around the body the flames shot up and j
burned the hair off my head and also burned my j
hands. I clang to her, however, but she fell life- !
less, and then I found my arm was sprained as I
well as badly burned. I also became very weak, j
and was almost satfocated with smoke,
myself to the floor and tried to get through the i
scuttle, but found It nailed down tight. It was
then I realized my own danger. There were two
doors leading to apartments on that floor, but
both of them were locked, and I was too weak to
force the locks. I don't know how long I was on
the floor; It seemed like an age to ma, but It
eould not have been more than a few seconds. It
was sufficiently long, however, for me to think ol
every act of my life. Things which happened
when I was a boy rame to my mind, and, as if I
Celt certain that escape was Impossible, I prayed
to Ood to forgive all the wrongs I had ever done

children, and I determined to make one last ef-

Wii atkvkk else the tire-eating Robert
Toombs, of Georgia, may be, he is not a
canting hyioerite. He always hated
the union of the States, and was never
backward in saying so. He sent a dis
patch to the Grant reception, or third
term committee at Chicago, in which,
after requesting that his personal con
gratulations might be presented to Gen.
Grant on hissafe arrival in thiscountry, I
he added : "He (Grant) fought for his ;
country honorably and won ; I fought i
for mine and lost. I am ready to try it
overagain. Death to the Union." There!
is nothing startling in all this, coming ;
as it did from Hob Toombs, and upon a
suggestion that there might be a mis- i
take in the dispatch as published in the j
Chicago papers, he was asked about it .
by a friend, and replied : "It i3 some-
what garbled, but '"s substantially cor-

government was accompanied by an apprehensive
realization of the conditions under which only It
can be practleally and permanently maintained.
And the conviction grows stronger and clearer
nally that such a govvrnment can only be main
tained by the exercise and employment of the
higher and better qualities of human nature. It
is a government ot laws emanating from popular
will, but that will must be for honest and worthy
ends, accomplished by honorable means. It Is
controlled by public opinion, but that opinion
must be the intelligent result of knowlele care
fully acquired, and del Iteration, and not the un
stable troth of tumult and guity passion. And to
make public principles secure they must be en
gralted on private honor ; tho wishes of an intelli
gent and upright constituency must be reflected
by Intelligent and upright representatives. A
Taithful representative thould rather ditplcaso
bis constituents than consent to that which in
; jures them. It Is his duly fully and freely to ac-
count to them, out not to conceal his true opinions
i for fear of their displeasure, for his enlightened
conscience cannot be disregarded without Injury
to them ana his entire loss of usefulness. To

the conditions, and It Is upon the self-protecting
! elements ol society that we must rely. As liurkc,

A Star Shower Tms Week. rrofesor :
Proctor, the well known English ntrnoiner,
in a paper on ' Expected Meteoric Display,"
predicts a display of celestial fin; works for
this week. He says :
The next passage or the earth athwart the track
of the Biela comet Is the first sinco that of No
vember 17, 1872, during which a meteor shower
:outd be expecteil to occur. The comet crossed
the earth's track, or passed very near to It. early
' In April last : and though the Interval Is consid
erably longer between then and the end ol N
vember than elapsed between the comet's passage
, In 1872 and the display of that year, yet It Is most
; probable that many meteoric attendants of tbe
' comet will be seen on some nights (or perhaps on
several nights) between November 25 and Iveem
ber 1, and quite possible that a very fine shower
; maybe seen. The meteors will be well worth
l looking for in any case, sfhee. If they are carefully
observed and counted hour by hour, astronomers
i will probably obtain some further insight into the
nature of the processes which lead to the dissipa
tion of a comet and cause Us path to be occupied
over a rane of many millions of miles by scatter.
: ed meteoric attendants. To others than astrono
mers the meteors will be full of interest; an.I It is
not at all unlikely that they will appear in such
numbers as to produce an exceedingly beautiful
display.
I The Biela comet was discovered in 1826,
I and in 18.59 and 1846 was visible. Its
appearance the latter year will be rrmem
i bered, as it was divided into two distinct
; comets, which travoled along side by side
I until they passed out of view. In M2 they
j returned to view with the distance between
' them greatly increased.

When the wedding guests at the residence of
Kobert J. Douglass, In Vonkers, New Tork, th
other evening, had taken a god look at tbe wed
ding gifts, they all filed down into tbe dlnlng-rooaa

knew of what was going oa then slipped in and
bore off most of the presents, which were eoetly
and some of them not easily to be replaced.
A Louisville Courier-Journal special from
Canton, Miss., says Eliza Pinkston, of Itetarning j
Board fame, was arrested on Saturday week,
charged with murdering ber husband, who died

I Mrs. Zell's trial was ended on Wednesday, by a

that which has recently fallen about the home of

other three took their beds, and the grief stricken
father buried one on Friday and two on Saturday.

and common sense : "I don't take any

j The New York Sat ion referring to John
Sherman's wholesale abuse of th South,
says :
I Mr. Sherman's account of the actual condition
! of the South is so extraordinary in a public offl
: psrt of the Ic.leral Administration, and bound by
his very position to know the eentlal untruth
fulness of his representation", that it calls for the
severe-it censnre.
At a tune when the crop which is peculiarly a
. S"C.ale,l (rith negro lal-cr is annually on the In
crease beyond the production ol the palmiest days
of slavery, the Secretary ol the Treasury dares to
ssy that "whole communities" at the South "are
slowly decaying in all the elements which would
tend to make them prosperous and happy." Mr.
Houtwcll himself, looking out of his car w indow
' would hardly have returned from tne South with
: such a reiM.rt ;is that.
Mr Sherman has not liiieiy teen South, except
Into Kentucky, w here he was very 'careful, the oth
er day, not to indulue In talk like this, or to al
j lege that "a controlling minority in some of the
Southern States ha reduced the body of the
negroes at the S nth to a condition but little bet
ter than that of slavery." This language might
have pas-e I In the days when outrages were man
ufacture! fr political purpose", but It Is ridicu
lous now.
Mr. Sherman asserts that "no Republican
speor-h. ointlnir out the errors and wrongs of the
biws devised by tr.e rulina' clsss. could he made in
the-e Southern States without danjrerof life or lib
erty." 'lhts Is not true; but il It were, we should

says :
Even in this age of gallop and gulp. In which
ech new day's news devours Its predecessor's be
fore men have had time to think twine on what It
may have meant, the pathos of the ex-Empress
Eugenie's desolate return on Thursday to the
Paris from which she fled only nine years ago,
must arrest the attention of the moat thoughtless
Into those nine short years what events have been
crowded '. A dynasty overthrown, a great people
I humiliated, the face of Europe changed. But
the personal tragedy of this lone woman's shat
tered life claims i; s precedence for tbe day, wl th
an eloquence not easily to be resisted. In No
vember, 1 Eugenie, Empress of the French,
was the most conspicuous, the most admired and
In many wavs tbe most Inilueut.al woman alive.
She ruled France through her husband and the
civilized world through Its fashions. Still a
yonng woman comparatively, she looked forward
throagh the future ol licr son, a bright, affection
ate and devoted lad of thirteen, to a long lifo of
splendor and of power in the capital of Continen
tal Europe. In November. lS79,det!ironed , exiled,
widowed and childless, bowed and broken with
her weight of sorrows, Eugenie, ex-Empress of
the French, passes by permission of a hostile
Oovernment through Paris to reach the bedside
of the last relative left to her on earth, just too
late to close her dying mother's eyes.
Almost Vorso Ariarir. My mother was af
flicted a long time with neuralgia and a dull,
heavy. Inactive condition of tbe whole rystem
headache, nervous prostration, and was almost
helpless. No physicians or medicines did her any
good. Three months ago she began to use Hop
Hitters, with such good effect that she seems and
feels young again, although over 7J years old.
We think there Is no other medicine fit to use in
the family. A l'Iy in Providence ( R. I.) Journal.
Kane county. III. The victims, two Oertnan
: brothers, named Erch-nand, were husking corn,
! when John N. and Robert Taylor, also brothers,
eame along on horseback, dismounted, and saying
I that they were now goln? to settle a feud which
had existed between the families, immediately
began by stabbing one brother, who fell with a
knife thrust through the lung. They then turned
! upon tbe other Erchenand, who, being unarmed,
j attempted to escape. They caught htm, and
' plunging a knife Into his neck, severed the jugu
: lar vein. One brother died soon after, and tbe
other died Sunday night. Tbe murderers escap-
ed, and the officers are in pursuit.
A fiendish murder was committed Sunday
evening of last week about seven miles south of
Lawrence, Kansas. A colored man named Staw
j der Hlnes went to the house of Samuel Odell and
i teeing (Melt sitting near the window, placed the
I rounle or bis gun near the glass and fired at his
j bead, killing him instantly. Hlnes then went
: 'ntothe house and was determined to cut Mrs.
j Ol ell's throat with a butchcr-knlfe, but finally
; let her live. About six months ago Hlnes met
: Mrs. Oddl In tbe cornfield and frightened her
' terribly at a time when she was indelicate health.
For this Odell threatened to be revenged, and
j Hlnes says It was because he was afraid of hisown
I life, that he tok tldell's. Excitement runs very
high In tbe neighborhood where he lived, and
threats are made or lynching Hlnes, who is now In
' fail there.
St. Mary's Roman Catholic Convent at Wind
: sor, Ontario, opposite Detroit, was last week the
, scene of a distressing tragedy. Mis. Llllle Duck,
j as-ed fourteen, daughter of o. M. Duck, of Detroit,
one of the pupils In the Convent School, Monday
' evening went to bed early, complaining of a sore
; throat, and S Ister Immaculate, who lias charge ol
! the Convent dispensary, having filled a small
! phial from a bottle which she supposed contained
( braady, but which was Oiled with laudanum, gave
I the dose to the Invalid. At ten o'clock the mis
1 take was discovered, and two physicians were at
j once summoned, but all their efforts to counteract
the eflect of the drug were futile, and the girl
, died at nine o'clock yesterday morning. The
matter was kept sesret nntil to-day, when Mr.
. Duck was in formed of the loss. The authorities
were also notified, and an Inquest wag held, tiie
verdict being death from o son, accidentally administered.
