A committee bas nl ready bet u appointed, uuder tbo Prcsi ilrjncy of Gen. Damont. The decision of Uermany was to adopt, not a new arm, but a remarkable magnzine rr obarger, wbicb can be kept out of tbeway under ordinary conditions and only liked at critical moments, when there is need of the greatest possible development of fire. A the German army will soon be com. pletely (quipped with the new arrange' ment, and France is only appointing a committee to choose hers, tbe dispropor tion which already exists between tbe strength of the two military powers will shortly be even moro prominent than it is jnst now. A wholly erroneous Idea exists among many persons in this couutry that tbe G iverumcnt prohibits manufacture in Ireliud. Such persons are obviously iu ignorance that Ulster provides tuble linen and sewing thread for probably nearly .Italf the world. Tbe linen manufactory oi Mr. iswnrt, M. I'. lor iSeirast, is one of the largest establishments in the Unit ed Kiugdom. Factories of all sorts are to be found in numbers in and around large cities, and, were the country in n calm condition, there would be many more. Distilleries and breweries flour UU especially in Cork and Dublin, wfcere splendid fortunes bave been made in them. Ireland does not contain coal available for domestio use, but if her coal beds hate been allowed to lie dormant, it bas been because it was thought that ibe working them would not pay. Bo far as any Industrial occupation is con corned, a man is as free to work or manu facture in Ireland as in England or Scot laud. Is the course of n sermon last month a Loudon preacher said: "Among socio- lies for the promotion of temperance and total abstinencej'tbere seems & de sire to. strengthen thecause by quoting Scripture, and one passage often bronght forward is that relating to thellebabites, In Jeremiah, chapter XXXV., verses and 7, we read: 'But they said, We will drink no wine, for Jonadab, the son of Ilecbab our father, commanded us, say ing, Ye shall drink no wine, neither ye nor your sous forever. Neither shall ye 'build boa&es, nor sow seed, nor plant vineyard, nor bave any, but all your days ye shall dwell In tents, that ye may live many days In the land where ye be strangers.'" Tbe clergyman explained the command. He said tbe Beebabites were strangers iu tbe land of the Jews, and Jonadab wished to hinder their run ning into excesses and being throat out, and for that reason gave oommandswhich were implicitly obeyed. Bat if the total abstainers urge tbe carrying out of one part of this command, there is no reason to show wby they should rerram from .acting up to tbe whole, which would probably be anything but what tbey would agree to do. The Easton Extrtras says that over .one million dollars worth of slate will be sent out of Northampthn county this .year from tbe Bangor and Pen Argyl .quarries. The mining of tbe slate is a profitable business, so that a large share of the money will remain in the hands of the capitalists who have pot their money into sUte properties. The North ampton slates are of such excellent qual ity that tbe deinasd for tbem is not con fined to this country. Large quantities are sent to Europe, Last year 6,881,000 pieces were sent to Australia and New Zealand. The demand for these slates is In cieefw of the supply in tbe present state of development at tbe quarries. Luckily, tbe quarries ara considered in exhaustible. T.e ulato is used not only for roofing purposes but for mantels, atalrvrajB, niudow-etlU, billiard tables, tiles, pavements, wainiicotiug, and for ornamental purposes. With this great source of wealth within its borderr no wonder Ibe Exrnsss boastingly declares that men who have money tniuvest need not go out of Northampton county to find profitable employment for it. The rumors of BritUb official action toncbing the Fenian utterances in this ctuutry have aroused very general curl OHity and remark in diplomatio circles in Washington, and it is commonly under stood that some communications of a friendly and Informal character have passed between tbe representatives of the two Governments, Said a member of one of tbe principal Legations, Hon day nlcbt: Tbo studied reticence and wystfrit n silence adopted by the State Department officers have attracted much Hreater attention to tbe subjtct than if they bad chosen a more Candid policy, J do not believe, bowwer, that Minister West was dirocted to seggest to Mr, l'reliucbnjaen that tbe conduct com- plained of might possibly interrupt tbe friendly relations oi tne two uoveru meuts, nor do I suppose that be said .anything of that sort, as in diplomatio Jis9ge such language would be regarded as a threat, and would be iu itself an in terruption of good feeliug. Moreover, it would not be tbe usual and proper rood of beginning a correspondence on a sabjeet of this character. I think that England should be tbe last Government to exact from others protection to these matter, for she bas been notoriously lutona of the riebt of aavlam. as for in la loe in the eases of Orslni in bis at Ueks on Napoleon ML, and of Hart. ain. tie Russian." Oanzrvi, estimates made at tbe Treas ury Department show that tbe annual reduction of tbe Internal revenue tax uuder tbe act of Murch 3, 1883, will amount to $12,037,782. Tbe estimate Is made on the basts of receipts for the last fiscal year. In detail it is as follows: Capital aad deioait of banks and bankers uot national $5,249,173 Stamp tax on bank clieclii, trails, orders, etc., aud on li)!ches,peTfinnery, medicin al preparations, etc 7,569,109 Special taxes of peddlers ol to bacco and oi mamiiacturcrs of aud dealers Inngaraond manufactured tobacco 1,136,405 SqiiIT, smoking and chcwluf to bacco 12.906,424 Cigars 9,122,9211 Cigarettes G91.012 Total $38,67",080 To which add capital and depos its nl national banks paid (II recttv to the Treaiurerof tbe United Stale 5,959.702 Total reduction $42,(37,782 Hon. T. O Uowe, postmaster genira), died at 2:20 o'clock Sunday afternoon, at tbe residence of bis nephew. Col. Joseph II. Howe, at Kenasba, Wis. He contracted a severe cold a week ago at Groenbay and returned to Kenasba. He i very ill till Saturday, when ho soemed to improve. His physicians pro. nounced bis ailment pneumonia. He was taken worse on Saturday night and sank rapidly, passing away peacefully Sunday afternoon. Deceased was one of the founders of tbe Republican party in Wiscon-.lt) and represented that State in the United StateaSenate for many years. He was n prominent actor in tbe Im peacbnientof Fr.sldent Andrew Johnson and figured cousplcuously in tbe recon structiou legislation of tbe period im mediately following the war. Ho as defeated for re-election to tbe Senate in 1879, bis successor being the late Matt Carpenter. On the retirement of Post mister General James from the Cabinet of President Arthur, Mr. Howe was ap pointed to the vacancy. Our New York Letter. Regular correspondence of Advocate. Niw Yore, March 27, 1883 Everybody is tired to-day, that Is to say, everybody who is anybody, for Mrs. W. H. Vanderbilt's fancy dress ball last evening made a heavy demand on the energy and 'sprightliness of her guests The array of costumes was bewilderingly beautiful and costly. Their money must be rated at over a million, the decora tions were wonderfully beautiful and tbe tout ENsEitnLK of trie, festivity together made up a picture 'gorgeous enough to 'be worthy tho skill and lavisbness of a Monte Christo. Prominent among the many tastefully costumed men was Mr. William Henry Hnrlbert of tbe World, who looked as if be bad just steppoJ down from an old Venetian picture. Among tho characters represented was a Madame Favart, an Orpheus and an Eurydice, a Bacchus, an array of High landers, two or three Bedouins, half a dozen Hamlets, a sprinkling of Orpbel ins, besides the conventional Harlequins, Columbines, Jockeys, and Dominoes. Those who were not there may perhapB find plenty of mateiial for self-congrata lation to day by learning nil that no curred without being obliged to endure tbe horrors of "the day after." Mrs. Vanderbilt of course made thousands of enemies by her ball, simply because fhe did not have room enough in her house. Tbe invitations were issued to nearly a thousand persons. Then the other nine thonsand of tbe upper crust schemed to get in. Of course tbey were politely re fused and therefore they mean to get even. One lady who was refused a card wrote back to Mrs. Vanderbilt that she really cared nothing about the ball, but she would have liked to bave viewed the scene and the bouse. "I am very fond of looking at curiosities," said she, "and I go everywhere to see them, so I thought I might as well look at your place as I have uot yet had a chance of seeing it." How nicely sarcastic, and yet bow wo. manly! There are things evidently wbicb ynu can uot get even with if yon are worth seventy millicm, and among thtm is respect. Tbe solemnities over tbe remains of John Howard Payne, the author of "Hume. Swirl Home," were more or less a .failure. The cultivated gentlemen who compose our Board of Aldermen de termined to "lay themselves out on this occasion," and to impress their constitu ents with their appreciation of tbe cbarms of literature. Thus committees were ap pointed and a grand display was decided upon. Ex Alderman Slevln who is an nndertakergot the work, and Slevln with a true eye and instinct for tbe main chance, wbUh is bis own pocket, made tbe pagent as long as he could though the less said about its quality tbe better. Tbe remains were placed in tbe Gover nor's Itoom in tbe City Hall, but some how tbe expected crowds to look at an American flag in wbicb there was some thing which looked very much like a box did not come. The people who called were with the exception of a few people of poetical tastes, mostly politic. ians of tbn conventional stripe. There was a relitive of tbe poet there, but he was of no account in tbe presence of tbe political magnates who have risen to lo cal fame through tbe kindly aid of wbis key barrels. He was pushed to one side aud stood as if he had uot a friend in Ibe world. On tbe afternoon on which tbe remains v.ere removed to tbe Pennayl vania Railroad Depot, I am told a supply of whiskey was laid in to strengthen tbe distinguished political mourners, bat somibody made away with it, that is to say stole it. Thereat there was some very vigorous language. Next, Mr. Skviu bad tent on moro tbau enongh of carriages, and as a result a, great many of them were filled witb tbe lowest kind of political rabble, simply that the un dertaker should uot come abort. Tbe whole affair was anything but a graceful proceeding, and I am much surprised that tbe newspapers Lave not taken up tbe matter ur.d show how the city's moL ey is wasted. . Tbe unfortunate relations between Frank Mordaunt, tbe actor aud his wife Fanny, continue to give the scandal "mongers plenty of foxl for talk, Tbe unfortunate state of affairs culminated in tbe alleged attempt of Mrs. Mordaunt on ber husband's life. Now people are disposed to tidt with the woman, and to condemn Mordaunt for behaving badly towards ber aud driving ber to insane (Ups, The fast is that Sltiidauat Is greatly to be pitied. Mrs. Mordaunt bas always been a nervous, bigb strung, eo ccutrlo aud hysterical kind of creature. A lady who once boarued at tbe Banjo house with tbem, told me that abe used to lead ber husband a veritable dpg's life. On his leaving tbe house in tbe morning she would call him back'lbres or four times, and order blm to bring this or bring that, in a manner in wbicb one would not address a kitoben scul lion. When be was out of town, she would plague him to death with ber de mands for money. At one time he was earning $160 a week. She used to get $200 out of him. Every day a message would be sent to bim for ten, twenty or fifty dollars. "And low foolishly she used to spend it," said this lady. "She nsed to buy costly things for which she bad no earthly use, and used to ride about town in a cab for hours without any object." Mrs. Mordaunt is not a bad woman, nut ber temper is such as to make her own Ufa and that of all about ber miserable. When finally her husband grew tired of these proceedings sho grew wjrse, and Instead of trying to change her ways she only made matters worse by increasing her violence. Tbe annual performance for the bene fit of the Actor's Fund is coming round again, and already not alone actors and stage mecbanicesbnt policemen and fire men as well are bard at work peddling tickets. It strikes me that it is about time some one ought to put an end to thin sentimental way of indulging in genteel begging. Actors of course are always ready to play for charitable pur poses if tbe right parties ask them, and if they receiye duo puffs in tbe papers afterwards. Bat why the public shonld be asked to pnt it hands into its pocket to provide a club house and what not for the theatrical profession any more than for any other trade or profession is what I cannot see. When the public goes to the theatre it pays its way in. Wby should the actor afterwards say that the publio owes blm a debt of gratitude to be repaid wbonever occasion demands for amusing it. My shoemaker, my tailor and my bootblack might in full justice make tbe same demand if they have served me well. There is entirely too much romance and sentiment wasted on the denizens of the mimio world. How is it that tbe Catholics in town are building churches upon churches in the city while tbe number of Protestant churches is on the decrease? Last week the old Bleecker Street Universalis! Church was sold and is to be convertod into a store building. Its congregation grew too small and tho trustees saw no reason for maintaining an apology for religious body any longer. Now, I un derstand au old MethodistCburch in th Ninth Ward Is going the way of all flesh, It is to be hoped that nothing worse than a store will be made of it, for it is sad to 3e a place orleinally intended as a sa ced edifice converted into a low variety theatre as Aberln's Theatre is at present, or a stable like tbe old Prince Street Onurch. Although population marches up town the lower portion of the city is just as thickly populated as ever. How is it then that Protestant congregations iu those wards grow weaker from year to year? In the court proceedings in tbe sensa tlon case of young George W. Conkling, who shot Haverstied who led his sister, Mrs. Uhlerastray, tbeobiquitous crimiu al lawyer William F. Howe, is getting his usual amount of advertising. Howe is Bimply the barrister in the case. Conk lings real lawyer is his old personal friend Cameron H. King. Mr. King I a Ualifornian, and though a young man would have been Attorney General of California bad he remained in that Slate. Some years ago be defended Edward Muybridge the now celebrated photo grapber of nnimals in motion. Muy. bridge's wife was led astray by a man in whom he' bad oyer confidence. One night she confessed her crime. Muy bridge threw himself on his horse, rode thirty miles to the residence of the be trayer of his wife, called him out, and raising his rifle, shouted; "Here's message from my wife," shot him dead Then be rode back, and gave himself up to tbe Sheriff. King defended him and he was triumphantly xcquitted. Our Washington Letter. From oca SrrcuL CoRstsroponiiT. Washikoton, D. C., March 24, 1883. Washington possesses a Pbilbarmonlo Society, which although not quite equal to some others, is yet respectable in point of ability. Mr. Corcoran bas re quested tbem to sing "Home, Sweet Home" at tbe ceremonies over the re. mains of John Howard Payne in June, Mr. Corcoran bids fair to rival Peter Cooper in years and vitality. He man ages a great fortune and innumerable public bequests with tbe samo clearness and vigor as if bo were 45 instead of 85. He is one of tbe most active of the Wash ington monument trustees, and attends every meeting of the board. He still takes some part'in society, and says be wants to live to see a Democratic Presi dent, He aud Senator Beck are great friends, A daughter of rJenator Beck married Mr. Corcoran's nephew, and died of scarlet fever lour weeks after ber marriage. Mr. Corcorau is tbo most ardent, consistent, rock-ribbed JeflVrson iau Democrat that can be imagined, and the great fraud of 1877 affected both his health and bis spirits seriously. He lives in a fine, substantial old bouse, di rectly opposite Lafayette Park, and bis garden enclosed witb a high brick wall is the envy of half the town. Like Mr. Bancroft, he is a flower fancier, and without haying any fondness for the scentless aud soulless creations of tbe hot-house, be loves hardy oat-door plants. One may gaze at a little Eden through Mr. Corcoran', iron gates. Tbe festivities of tbe season tbat bas only just closed bave proved too much to not a few. The President is ailing aud Ibe list of those who fell in tie ac tion and are iu hospital is considerably iu excess of any previous experience. It iucludes officials and privates, some of whom are reported to be in a serious state. It woull-jiot berigbt to. include in the list" Secretary Folgtr. whose illuess is serious, but uot on account of too much of the things which will make tbe past season memorable aud cause Ar thur's administration, in this particular, to stand iu history strong beyond, any preoediog one. It stems probable that Mr. Felger U not likely long to continue M the fluaa clal secretary. But for some things in hering in a peculiar manner with his position in the administration, .General Arthur wonld bave bean asked to -select bis successor before now. No one re grets tbe apparent necessity for relin quishing bis position as Folger does. Under some other circumstances he would gladly yield it. His reasons are too purely personal to be the property of the gossiping public, But falling health and a broken spirit will master any man. There was a time, Which was not long ago, when Arthur was-ready -to state it mildly to receive Folger's resignation. He wants time now, however. Of late things have been proceeding on tbo idea that Folger wonld stay for a considerable time if not to the end of his term. Pol ler's resignation now would interfere witb plans arranged on the presumption of no change at present In. fact tbe President has of late settled down to idea of keeping his Cabinet as it is, to go ont with it himself. Senator-elect Sabln Is in town and sfl is Senator-elect Manderson. Mr. Wln dom gave the first big dinner that he has bad in his nw house last week;' it was not civen to Senator Sabln. Congress man Crowley of New York is hanging; arouna mo w uue uonse lor an ouice. He is not particular, but wonld take anything be could get. Congressman Neal of Ohio, who got likewise, left onj the 7th of November, St. Grover's Day,, can't tear himself away from Washington,' and proposes to lie on his oars here for a Republican tidal wave. Tbe Blaines open the doors of their- $60,000 houso on Monday evenings to1 invited guests. Mr. Blaine has been buying pictures pell mell. He bought tbem in batches of twenty-five or thirty. It is said the house inside looks like the Veneering mansion described by Dick en's it is brand new all over. Even the antiques are new, and Mr. Blaine is thinking of having some old family por traits painted and of buying on ancestral grave-yard. A man here who bought fino old house bas successfully carried out a pleasing idea. He went to Mary land, to Ibo old homestead of his family,,; and brought away some of tbe fine oliv wood carving. This be put into certain parts of tbe old bouse, which bo bad bought, and which was of tbe same date, and tbe effect is wonderfully gQojl, Acqust. Fjboh oun ItEdULin Correspondent. 3 Washington, D. C, March 2G, 1833. Through Congress adjourued March 4tb, tbe Congressional Record is still published. It comes out at irregular in tervals, heavily freighted witb a tedious lot of so called "speeches" which were never delivered, but wbicb are publish'. ed at eaormous expenfa beciuio their authors obtained"lenve to print." Mem bars who could not hold tbe attention of tbe bouse fivo minutes in this way work ofl upon tbair constituents severs cords of literary rubbisb, pure and sim pie. One prolitlo congressman eccu' pies seveuty solid nonpariel pages of.a' recent number of tbe Record with four, speeches, which would make an prdinary octavo book of over 500 pages and wh'icjj he never could have Induced tbe house to listen to. This versatile and erudite gentleman gives a his't'oryof NapoleOu' and his wars, with maps and voluminons' criticisms, all under tbe bead of tbe Fitz John Porter case, from which be skips lightly to (literacy in the south; then lie makes a dash at tbe federal courts and his own peculiarly interesting case as a . contestant for a seat in the house.aud he rounds ofl bis career as a post humorous speech-maker with a history of the Mexican war and a defense of the south ern rebellion. There should be an eud to tbis-species of fraud .on the pnblio. It is an abuse of Congressional piivilege to compel tbe govern en t to pay for tbe printing and distribution of political essays written for the Record. That costly publication is designed solely to record tbe proceeding iu Congress But the fiction of "leave to priul" is made use of (o publish n mass of matter wbicb never saw tbe light of day until, (be Gov. ernment Priuter gave it circulation. , Tbe new civil sc. vice cemmission in quietly getting ready to open slop.

Tbe member of tho commission seem to be" very amiable, courteous geutlemen and bave made frieuds with all tbe officers of the government with whom they bave come iu contact. Dorman B.. Euon is a large. strongly, built blond gentlemau of say fifty fivo years, closely shaven, and ot most engaging manners. He somewhat resembles Judge Hanlan. of thesnpreme court, and is not unlike a Quaker in bia simplicity of dress and demeanor, some poople might think bim a trifle of a demagogue, but it is not for me to judge. Mr. Gregory is square and gray quiet in bis manners, put quick of per ception. He is about sixty. I should say Judgo Thoman, tbe other commis sioner, is a young man 'of dark complex ion , black hair and a tbin black runs. tacbe. He feels it encumbent upon him to dress in black broadcloth, although it becomes him. lie cannot be over tbirty-five years of age and looks to be' a practical man. I heard bim say the other evening tbat sdmetblug was "a d outrage." and, therefore. I thick tbat be will not open tbe sessions of tbe commission witb prayer. People are talking a good deal about tbo fight between Senator Maboue and Colonel Motby when tbe letter gels back from China. It will be what Horace Greeley called mighty interesting read, ing, whenever it does come off. To one who knows tbe two men there could noi possibly be two antagonist better quail fled to cope witb each other. Mabone is a man of more" brains than Mosby, but Mosby bas enough to make blm danger ous, and'he" has bestdesa ,dpgge'dahd ferocious vlndiotiveueas, so tbat Mr. Ma bone bad better be on tbe lookout, lor some letters bave been received here from Mosby, promising a circus when he gets back. The two men are alike in a great many particulars. Both of tbem prefer using their kuiyes to their forks' at dinner. Colonel Mosby says little, but what he says la short, plain aud to' tbe poiut He has the whole history of Mabone's railroad transactions at bis fingers' ends.and knows a good mauyoth tr things wbicb Seuator Msbone would prefer to rest in forgetfulness. Mosby'i bard fltrc determined force Is enough t to make most peoplo to fear and dislike him. Mr. E. F. Andrews, the artist, well known here as tbe painter of the portrait of Martha. Washington at tho White House, is building a house on Sixteenth street, near Mr. Windom's and Senator Cameron's. It is said to be, on a small scale, the most complete house iu Wash ington. Nothing like the rush of build ing operations bare eyer been known as during tbe present spring. The beauty of Judiciary Square is marred by the great foundation' of the new Pension building. There was strong opposition to putting it there in the beginning, but now that it is there it becomes moro evi dent that it was a mistako to partially destroy the park. It has been found by actual experience that whenever any de viation has been made from the plan of tho ci'-y,, as laid down by Gen. Washing ton and tbe drunken old Frenohman who aided him.lt has been to tbe detriment of it. The people are intensely jealous of tbe infringing of the plots of ground known as government reservation, and Hi j a source of much complaint that tho parks In the west end bave enjoyed a monopoly of the queer looking gentle men in bronze which stand as effigies of dead herpes.
