THE WHY.
TiieN. Y.vSun In taumlng up the re
llt of tba lata election lu Michigan, says:
"Tho recent election in Michigan for
Jadga of lbs Supreme Court baa been
received in some quarters as a creat
viotorj for tbe Democrats, for civil set
vice reform, and for fr e trade. It is
not so. Judge Cooler is well known as
an emlnont jurist who has adopted
extreme temperance views, and was
represented as having too often ailed
with great corporations. He was Domi
nated by the Prohibitionists, and adopt.
ed by the Republicans. Tbe Democrat
pot op Major Morse, a gallant Union
soldier, who lost an arm In tbe civil war,
who openly opposes sumptuary legisla
tion, and advocates complete personal
liberty as tbe guaranteed right of tbe
citizen under tbe Constitution. The so
called temperanoe issue wai the turning
point of the canvas, and was made so by
tbe Prohibitionists. They forced tbe
fight, and they got badly beaten. Tho
Germans wbo supported Blaine joined
tbe Germans who y.ited for Cleveland in
casting fcearly a solid vote for Major
Morse, not because he was a represent
ative Domocrat.bnt because he advocated
their sentiments on tbe liquor question
Tbis result cannot be properly described
as a political triumph, although the
Democratic, candidate for Judge) of tbe
Supreme Court was elected by a large
majority. The Greenbackers and Pro
hibitionists have disturbed politics seri
ously in Michigan of late years. In 1882
Begole, Democrat, aided by tbe Green
backers, was chosen Governor by a
majority of 4,572. Last year Alger,
Republican, was eleoted Governor by a
plurality over Begole, Democrat and
Fasiouist, or 3,053. Tne Prohibitionists
polled 22.207 votes for Porter, leaving
the Republican more- tbau 18,000 in a
minority on tbe popular vote. The
temperance agitation in Michigan, in
Iowa, in Wisconsin, in Illinois, and in
Kansas has broken tbo sceptre of politi
cal managers, aud introduced an clement
of discord into tho Republican party
which threatens to destroy its ascendancy
in those States."
There is no longer any doubt that tho
disease which some weeks ago made its
appearance in a town on tbo eastern
coast of Spain, and which has invaded
other seaboard villages and also those on
neighboring islands, is Asiatio cholera,
Its reappearance in Europe nt the very
outset of warm weather ip a warning to
sanitary workers on tbis side of tbe
Atlantio to redouble their exertions.
Neither care nor money should be spared
in the cleaning and purifying of our
cities and towns, and the work cannot be
begun too soon. Our burgess and town
couucil would do well to take immediate
steps in this matter, and look alter the
numerous places that need cleaning up

One of our most Tallied exebanges is
tbe Fcdlio Herald, edited and publish

attractive advertising. Send fifty cents
to tbo publisher aud receive it for one

amount thus spent.
A raw years ago, says tho London

the enthusiasm died away, tbe rinks were
deserted, tbe Investors lust their money;
and roller skates disappeared in the
land."

BroaftWs New York Letter.
Special to the Cusox Advocates
Fatter week, instead of a proclamation
of universal peace and good will, has
keen tall of toll and trouble. From oue
ante and another excitement baa been
at fever heat, and the nncertain state of
the weather has not added to our com
fort. Instead of spring suits with tulips
aud rosea, butteroups aud daffodils
muffs, ulsters and sealskin sacques el
bowed them out of tbe way, aud people
went shivering to church, as if it bad
been February instead of April. As tbe
Eatter Chimes were ringing I could not
help thinking of two fashionable wed
dings, which took place here five years
ago, this Easter time. Both of the brides
were heiresses, and tbe fortunate grooms
were among tbe most favored of our
golden youth, well known In socletr, and
t each wedding the church was crowd'
ed with our best people, and life seemed
to open on the young couples like a sum
mer dream. One of tbe brides inherited by
tbe death of her father $250,000 casb.and
a handsome house turnUbed with every
luxury that wealth could give. Tbe
young husband had no capital of bis
own, but be took his wife's money and
went into Wall street. Disaster suc
ceeded disaster, loss upon losr, misfor
tune upon misfortune till at last the
great bulk of bis wife's fortnnc was
swept down into that merciless whirlpool
which baa swallowed so many fortunes
and so many lives. The gay young man
of fashion became rnoroso aud sour; be
wbo used to be, tbe life of sooiety avoid
cd his old friends, he felt the circles
closing around him, and last week he
rose from his breakfast table, weut np to
bis bath room and cut bis throat The
other groom married an heiress, whose
father was a wealthy manufacturer; tbe
father approved of the match and took
the young man into partnership, instal
ling him and his daughter in a beautiful
house in tbe moBt fashionable portion ot
the town. Tbe young wife's health
failed, and her husband attended her
with the greatest devotion till she died
about two years ago; he then went to
board with a fascinating widow, and af
ter a proper season of mourning
married her. The father of bii first wife
took offonce at this, and the partnership
between Ibem was dissolved; bo seemed
to bo utterly prostrated by tbe blow
which had swept away bis prospects in
an hour, and last week be throw himself
under tbe wheels of a pnssiDg train, and
so euded n life from which all hope had
gono forever.
If you want to see New York as Mr.
Baruum would say, "As tbe greatest
show on earth," yon must pee it wben it
turns out for a spectacle. It does not
take much to briug them out, but wben
they do enme they are a sight to Bee.
Tho marriage of the midgets was one of
these occasions, aud tbe only mistake
was that tbey were not married in Madi
son Square Gardeu instead of Trinity
Church. Tbe marriage was not an or
dinary oue. Tbe matronly bride bad
undergone tho same ordenl at the same
altar over twenty years ago. She kept
her marriage vows, aud is admitted on
all bauds to have made a model wife and
mother. General Tom Thumb, ber first
husband, rest his soul was inclined to
be n little fast; be ran through n big
lorlune, and did lots of things that uo
doubt cost Mrs. Thumb a good deal of
grief, but as far as known she never
kicked up a row about it, nor eloped
with any other fellow or sued for a di
vorce, or did any of tbe nino hundred
und ninety-nine things which wives in
ber situation usually do. She so de
ported herself as maiden, wife and widow
that the breath of scandal never touched
her, although she has lived in public for
over thirty years, and bos proved berscll
worthy, if not of the oeeatest, at least,
of the smallest nobleman iu Italy. Not
withstanding the care that was exercld
in issuing the invitations, both ends of
society came together, as it Is eminently
tit they should do iu this U-pulilieati
oouutry of ours. The Astors, tbe De
Laneys, the DcGroots, the Van Rensel
laers, and others of the old blue blood,
touched elbows with sans cullotes from
tbo Bowery nud Blceckor street, who,
disguised iu clean shirts nud swallow
tailed coats pussed muster without
question as they were in possession of
tho lnagio pasteboard which admitted
them to the church. Tne master hand
of Barnum was hidden beneath a pair of
lavender kids, aud tho crowning glory of
the wedding was that the next day tbe
happy couple vnt one of the principal
attractions of "The greatest thow on
earth.'' All happiness to them. He is
a lucky fellow this Count Magri; titles
like bis can be purchased any day in
Italy for a few thousand florins, but wo
men like the countess are scarce, and 1
trust that this cousin of the Guelpbs nud
tbo Gaibeliues will make her as good a
husband as she deserves to have.
The villainy of the wrecking of the
Marine Bank by Mr. Fish, the financial
partner of Ferdinand Ward, groB back
er and blacker every day. Wben I spoke
of it a week ago it looked bud enough,
but -it loose worse now, Tbis Immacu
late Biuk President loaus $10,000 on
tbe note of tbeoolnred porter, wbo swept
out Mr. Ward's office and emptied tbe
spittoons, and never asked for au en
dorsement. It never seemed to occur to
this astute fiuancitr that $10,000 was a
considerable snin to loan to u fellow who
was sweeping out offices at forty or fifty
dollars a month. Things looked sus
picious aud thievish, and be being n good
and pious churchman thought it best not
to inquire abont them, he was afraid be
might find out something that be ought
not to know, so he pocketed the swap
and said nothing about it. Hundreds of
thousands of dollars were tossed about
like shuttlecocks, aud a goodly portion
of tbe bank's luuds seem to havo found
their way into tbe pockets of Mr. Fish.
The bold operator who cracks vour
saf9 at night or knocks you down with a
sandbag is a gentleman and au honest
man when compared with these tanctl
mouious rasoals, wbo with n white cravat
and a long face drag religion in the mire,
and bring diigrace upon the church,
fhe misery and ruin brought on this
community by these hypocritical rascals
will never be fully known; tbe two sni
cides of which I spoke were directlv
traceable to the financial collapse In Wall
street; and if the whole of tbe appalling
list conld be published, it would oe one
of tbo most terrible chapters in our his
tory.
Henry Irving left us on Monday with
a good deal of fame, and a large bag of
Americau EtgUs Eigles which will be
domesticated in England, and which I
fear will not fly back to ns again. It
may be a difficult matter with some ex
cellent Jndgea of acting to fix tbe status
of Mr. Irving iu the dramatic hemis
phere, but whether be is a great actor or
n poor one there is no denying tbe fact,
that he has raised tbe staudard of his
profession in tbe estimation as no actor
bat done In our time. Charles Keau,
Mr. Macready and some few others have
uisea themselves to the highest pinnacle
of popular estimation, but tbey did noth
Ing for tbe profession. Mr. Irving has
elevated tbe standard of his profession,
and he leaves tbe evidences of his good
work behind bim. He is no common
man to whom Old llariatd opens ber
doors, and be it no common man who
after he gets iuside satisfies in a scholar
ly monner all ot her expectations. It
must be especially flattering to Mr. Irv
ing, aud will uuthubttdly be one of tbe
most pleasant remembrances of his pro
fessional life, the splendid rtocption ard
dinner which was tendered bim by a
number of the mot distinguished gtn
tlemeu of New York, Mr. Irving las
convinced of this that Shakespeare well
interpreted will never want appreciative
andieuces. What Amcrioan actor will
Li 11 I lie gap made vacant by his depar
ture? Do not give ns a cos man tragedy
or oue woman comedy, but a company
of capable actors, nud then with a proper
stage setting, It will not be necessary for
ministers and deacons aud church trus
tees to resort to a Museum with n stuffed
Rhinoceros or n Feejee Mermaid, for tie
purpose of enjoying n wboleiomo dram
atic performance.
The war news from Afghanistan on
Thursday scut wheat kiting aud all day
long the Produce Exchange was tempest
tossed. The bears wbo bavo bad su
preme control of the grain market for
mouths, were driven to their dens; and
when tho sun went down on Thursday
tbe floor was oovered with rampant bo
vines just raging about aud looking for
something to toss; but the bears lay low
or roosted high, and kept out of sight
and out of reach. Wbent weut up seven
points, cora got n jtitnp.and the starving
bulls began to realize with Billy Birch,
that "It's on ill wind tbat blows no
whir." Tbe battle tbat brought sorrow
to tbe Afghans sent a thrill of life and
joy tbiough New Vork and Chicago, and
nobody stopped to SBk bow many dead
Russians or Iudians it took to pay the
bill.
To us tbe change vras a blessing for
we have been sully disappointed iu our
bopei of sprit g. The w eatber has glvm
us rt regular business paralysis, from
which it will take us many warm days
to recover.
One of the ovents of the week has been
tbe opening of the New Lyceum or
School for acting, which has been the
dream of Steele Mackaye. Mr. Matkaye
is well kuowD ns the author ot "Haztl
Kirk" which is simply a nhtsh of
"The Willow Copse" nnd a half dcz u
other pieces well known to the theatre
going publio of forty years ago. It was
an immense success, and has made a belf
dozn fortunes, but Mr. Mnekaye did
not share tbe profit. He then wrote
another piece und tried to act himself,
but bis piece and his acting was a dead
failure. He then conceived tbe idea of
fouuding a school for acting, and baa
induced a number of peopli to put some
money in it, and the result is the new
Lyceum. Monday night it opened with
a very bad piece, and a very fashionable
audience. None of Mr Mtckaie'd pupil?
made a prominent appearance, tbe play
beiug entirely in the hands of selett
professionals. It is yet too soon to pro
nounce judgment on Mr. Mnoknye's
venture ; but it would not astonish me
inside of twelve months to sou it iu tho
hands of a receive".

General Grant still lives, to the surprise
of his physicians anil the joy of his family
and friends. Tho dill'ereut phases of his
illuess first, utter prostration, with almost
a cor la inly of imn.edlato dealh, and then a
rallying of life and strength with a pros
pect of living fur days possibly puzzle
while they please. He knows that drath
is iu the near future, his lamlly know It
aud ilia physicians know it, and none of
them cau account for his remarkable re
newal of strength and almost complete re
lief Irom the pain which lias troubled him
end aided in bringing on what seemed the
fatal crisis to often within the last few
days.
The giddy whirl of social life which is a
phrase all papers enjoy using, is without
illuctraticn in New York just now. The
maelstrom lias lately becoma on eddy, and
the eddy this week is all vortex and no
whirl. To find social amusement one must
go not West but South, where, at Fortress
Monroe end other favored sjiots still farther
along the coast line, a mild lorm of dissi
pation in the way of lawn tenuis and
sherry cobblers niav be found.
Thero is one thing that this city Is never
withcut and ttiat is a lively and piquant
scandal. If the facta are not pungent
enough there ore plenty whose imagina
tioua are sufficiently fertile to supply the
deficiency. They say "it was tho making
of a good tlory," ond lo! the next lime it is
repeated it is a good story a tuosl excellent
story.
But Ihe scandal proper is a short lived
tiling, most ephemeral. There uro very
few iojeed that provo to be a nino days'
wonder. Not Ions ago it was said that
two well known peoplo bad been murried
two year, though the young lady hud been
receiving much attention in society under
her maiden name. This little fairy tale
makes lis appearance in regard to tome one
at regular periods aud fails lo Illicit in
those who haye heard it before, In their
youthful Uaj a, much interest. Perhaps in
the far distant future, it may elriko and
make a bull's eve, hut as yet, to speak ik
litely, it is unconfirmed.

Tht approaching seasou at Newport Is

than ihe usual amount of building for
summer people was contracted for and in
View of this fact there were many idle
mechanics. However, the worst is oyer
and there are but few idle men in the city
at the present time. Many of the cottagers
have ordered minor improvements and re
pairs to their summer homes and ere many
weeks Ibe familiar faces of Ue welcome
gursta will be teen on the streets, for it is a
well known fact that Newport's cottagers
arrive early lor good and satisfactory rea

which Ultra the Initiative in everything
pertaining to tht safety and comfort of rail
road passengers in tills country, It now dis
puting Eoglaud's supremacy In the matter
of tpeed. Tbe trains ou the Great Western
Railway, from London and Liverpool,
annihilate tbe distance at tho rate ol filly
miles an hour, exclusive of stops, but what
will Mr. Bull and tht rest of the world soy
when they learn tbat tht Pennsylvania
Central Road whirls its passenger! from
New York City to Chicago, (a good thous
and miles) in twenty four hours Including
stops? By therchedule that went Into effect
last Sunday, the great cities of tbe East are
thus placed within twenty-four hours with
tho metropolis of the West, and this won
deilul achievement is accompanied by the
most positive guarantees of comfort as well
of perfect salety. Neither pains nor ex
pense have been spared in the adoption of
every possible, means to insure passengers
against accident, to that the inauguration
of this new enterprise is destined to eccuro
for this line tbe continuance of that popu
larity tbat its admiiable management in
the past has won from the whole tiaveling
public.
lu view of the enormous frauds that
have been committed in tbe preemption of
the publit landt throughout the country,
the Co mm issioner of tho General Land Of
fice hat suspended the Issuance of any
more land patents in the greater portion of
the public land States west or the Mis
souri, ond has absolutely and indefinitely
suspended patents for tho desert and tim
ber cullureeutries everywhere. Under this
order of the new Commissioner, It would
seem that tho only legal way to get hold
of the publio domain is by the instrumen
tality of scrip, for which there must ol
course follow a very lively demand. There
are several classes of scrip which can thus
he used for locating publio lands in any
quantities and in all localities wherp lands
lire subject lo homestead or preemption en
try, the principal of which is the Soldiers'
Additional Homestead Scrip, which is also
t'io cheapest and best tor locating purposes.
There is but little of tbis scrip elloat now,
and this little is limited to the hands of a
very few dealers in Washington city, who
anlioipate a bouutiful harvest.
Tbe Senatorial junketing parties for the
summer that had been laid out under the
miserable pretense that they are for tho
promotion of the publio interests, havo
come to naught through the instrumental
ity of old man Van Wyck, who has lately
been stirring up tbe Republican galoots of
'he Senate with a very iwiulcd stick. Mr.
Van Wyck is a ycrilablo Miss Nancy m

his ability to hold his own in a lip contest
with some of the best men in tbe Senate.
T.ie grand army of political hac.ks and

New Orleans Letter.
From oun Special CohRESPOMuitNT.
New Ohleans, April 7, 18S3.
Some new and attractive exhibits are
almost constantly being added to His
"greatest show on earth,'' whoso last
days bid fair to be its best. The latest
hinglc object of universal interest to be
placed nn exhibition, aud ouo deserving
of more tban a passing notice, is a com
plete working model of Capt, Eads pro
posed "Tebautepec Ship Riilway," now
on exhibition, very appropriately, in tbe
Mexican section of tbo Main building,
and is constantly snrrounded by nn in
teresttd crowd of spectators. This most
interesting "model" shows tbo entire
practicability oi lifting the heaviest ves
sels out of tbo water by menus of pon
toons, or floating docks, almost precisely
such as are on the river iu tbis puff,"lbe
ordinary method in uso for docking ships
in ail commercial countries. The "mod
el'' shows the eiukiug of tbo pontoon in
the dock to receive the vessel wben she
is raised by a lifting block which is cap
able of raising a vessel of five thousand
tons gross weight; the dock will be 150
feet long, 75 feet wide and 1G feet deep,
nrrauged with a system of hydraulic
rams placed on an intermediate deck ol
tbe pontoon. Tne object of these rams
is to distribute equally tbo weight of tbe
vessel. The pontoon is guided in its
upward and downward movement by
strung anchor rods, or columns, past.ii g
through it freely, and firmly secured in
tbe foundations of the dock. Upon the
pontoon is placed it carriage for support
ing and moving the vessel, aud, as
shown In the model receives and moves
oil with the ship with as much appareut
easoas nny railway triu. "Tho "track"'
or railway, will have six rails, tbrte
standard gauge tracks of -1 feet 81 inches
inch. A full detail ofthe proposed rail
way would occupy too much of yourBpaco
uud could not be made clear without the
uid ot diagrams, but the working of tbe
"model" conclusively demonstrates its
eutlre feasibility, and tbe gentleman iu
charge of the exhibit remarked to your
correspondent, that "tbey would certain
ly not be advocating tbe enterprise it
auy doubt existed in their minds of tbe
success of the tystem."
It may be added tbat all tbo best en
gineers iu Europe und America bavo
t'iveu Capt.Ead's plan their endorsement,
and it only n mains to obtulu tbo neces
sary capital, when the work will be be.
gun aud prosecuted to a successful com
pletion. Several surveys have already
been made to find a suitable route across
tbe Isthmus, and the distance it is kuown
can bo reduced to 131 miles of track, at
a coat not to exceed fifty millions, though
Cipt, Eads bimielf believes he cau com
plete tbe entire work at a total cost of
thirty five millions, Tbe result of tbis
mammoth undertaking will be to revolu
tionize tbe carrying trade of the world,
and cannot fall to be of incalcukole
benefit to tbo people, not only of America
but of Europe aud Asia. To the peopla
of tbo entire Mississippi Valley it must
especially provo of vast commercial in
terest opeuiug up, as it must, new and
most desirable trade with Ibe entire
PaciQo coast, and its now far off Islands.
This route will reduce tbe distance of
ocean travel between Sau Francisco and
New Orleans 12 551 miles below tbat via
Uipe Horn, aud lessen the distance be
tween the former city and Near York, by
water, 10 797 miles, aud between Biu
Fraucisco aud Liverpool the Ship Hall
way will reduce tbe ocean travel from
15,803 via Cape Horn to 7,527 miles
or a saving of fifty per cent. Any ono
oui thus see what important results aro
Inevitable on tbe completion of tbe new
route. That conflicting Interests are
likely lo antagonize tbe enterprise may
readily be expected, but when tbe poo
