A Tnle of Twe Cities.
Seme of the Philadelphia newspapers
point out the fact that although Gen. Ilan-
cock was a native of Pennsylvania, and
his most illustrious service was rendered
fllj' &B II tuM.Jtntn MiwIlulttAn f.t tits ,-
rV state and Its metropolis, Xew Yorkers
.gj-jT have given ten dollars te the widow where
I'Miaueipnians nave given one. une ei iue
suburban towns reports about the same
proportion of collections for an equestrian
statute and for the relief of his family.
There is in all this a suggestiveness of the
different scale upon" which things are
done in the two cities. Xew Yerk
is far mere advanced, liberal, progressive
and prompt. Its rich men acted upon the
Impulse of the moment and rolled up a big
subscription. It has probably come te a
v8tep, and will be succeeded in interest ft,r
them very shortly by some new subject of
like kind. After a geed ileal of contempla
tion the fact that Gen. Hancock's widow
is in want and has claims upon them will
overtake the minds of he Philadelphlans.
They will proceed cautiously and
deliberately te raise a pieper amount;
nnd between the city of his birth for he
belonged te its suburbs and the city of
his home, his wife will be made comforta
ble. The indications are that $100,000 will
be raised for the fund, wliicli, with tLe pen.
sien te be granted by Congress, will be a
liberal benefaction ; especially as Mrs.
Jlnnceck has no family.
Give the Auther a Chance.
A most rldiculeu3 and reprehensible1
fashion of literary criticism coming tee
much into vegue is that which holds an
author individually responsible for the
opinions of his chaiac'.ers. "We are con
tinually seeing pert and flippant "points,"
made or imagined, that are urged against
this or that writer of fiction, because of
Bome sentiment that falls from the lips et
one or another of his fictitious personages.
There is nothing fair in this. It is the
function of the novelist te represent life as
it is, or human nature as lie fancies it
might be; and this gives him Illimit
able range. When lie sets his figures en
the stage they are te play their parts. They
may be agreeable and attractive, or un
wholesome and repulsie; they ought te
be consistent, but even this real men and
"women are net. That people as we meet
them are net nearly all agreeable or ortho ertho orthe
dox is the certain truth ; and they often say
stupid, shocking and untrue things, and
quite as frequently de them and are them
selves of such character. The novelist is
net te be blamed for Improper puriese or
lack of literary skill, if his creations
are net In themselves of your liking.
Dickens, Thackeray, Hewell and James,
Cable, the author of "The Breadwinners,"
and many ethers are fiercely lampooned by
thin-skinned people, who themselves in
many cases feel the lush, because certain
characters of their books are net, it is
claimed, characteristic " types " of the
" clas3 " they represent. Even were this
true it would net be a fair ground for ad
verse criticism, for common experience
shows that no novelist has yet produced
Bucb. maiked individuality of character,'
Bucn romance of situation, uuch intensity
of life and eccentricity of motive as mark
the record of everyday life.

Checking the Divorce Evil.
Judge McPherseu, of the Dauuhin-
ebanen judicial district, is entitled te the
thanks of all geed people for the firmstaud
he has taken in checking the divorce evil
Within hlsjurisdictien. Under his ruling
in the case of llesanna illller versus Levi
Miller, the sheriff's return te the order of
'proclamation that " the written elder of
court has been complied with" is net suffi
cient. The sheriff must show what he has
done and allow the court te decide
whether the elder has been complied with.
It has been found that this kind of loeto
methods in diverce proceedings frequently
permitted collusion en the part of one or
both of the ill-asserted pair, which Is fatal
tetha ltgil idea of divorce.
Judges cannot exercise tee much pre
caution in the trial of divorce cafes te
avoid lending themselves te what Judge
McPherseu describes as "the desire of
one or both of the parties te be rid of a tie
which hascerae te be felt only as a io ie
fitralnt." Divorce, under our institutions,
appears te be a necessary evil, and judges

A. Triple Investigation.
'! agree with such of our esteemed eon
temporaries as cherish the apprehension
t hat the investigations of the alleged abuse?
of the orphans' school management will
be somewhat muddled by the manifold In
quests organized and organizing for the
purpose. As we understand it the super
intendent of the school department is en
the wing by himself looking up the sub
ject; two ether branches of thestatpgovcrn thestatpgevcrn thestatpgovcrn
ment,represented by the governor ami at tor ter
ney general, accompanied by Jehn Xerris,
of the Philadelphia Jiecerd, for the prose
cution, start te-day te make a tour of the
schools, an investigation of their condi
tion nnd a stenographic report of their di.
ceveries; the Grand Army of the Republic
meanwhile is fitting out an expedition for
the same purpose.
And jet all of these representatives of
these different Interests have had the same
opportunities and obligations heretofore te
make these investigations that the Jlecenl
bad. The governor, we believe, was be
times a visitor te these schools with ether
state institutions; tlie state superintendent
surely attended their regular annual exam
inations and had every opportunity te see
their deficiencies; and the G. A. It. was
with them always. Nevertheless, the al
leged abuses arc said te have lleuriahed
under their noses. If they are new cured.
In advance of their heralded coming, their
Investigations will mean nothing. It they
reiwrt them te exist and te have existed
when they should have seen and reported
them before, they will only condemn their
own negligence.

On Wednesday March 3, 1SS0, President
Cle eland nominated Urigadler General
Alfred H. Terry te till the vacancy caused
by the death of General Hancock. There
had been considerable speculation as te
whether the vacancy in the list of major gen
erals, ruined by the death of Hancock, would
tall te the let oflleard or Terry. The for
mer Is net only a graduate of West Point,
which Terry Is net, but he received his com cem com
inllen as brigadier general, In the regular
army en December 21st, 1SG-I, while Terry's
commission ns brigader is dated Jan
uary 1Mb, lOj. The new major gen
eral Is a ntle of Connecticut. He en
tered the service in May, UC1, ns colonel
of the 2d C inneettciit volunteers, and In
September of the same year, he assumed
command of the 7th Connecticut. On April
25th, 1:J'A he was made a brigadier general
et volunteers, and en January 10tb, he was
promoted te major general. Ills record
during the war was conspicuous, the daring
assault en Fert Fisher, reiultlng In its cap
ture, being the inet marked feature. General
Terry at the cloe of the war was placed
In command or the department of the
James, with headquarters at Klchmend, Vh.
ins most neteu er ices since tlie war nave
been en the frontier, and he has acquired a
high reputation as u successful Indian-tighter.

It was in this campaign that General Custer,
with a portion et Terry's force, was ambush

one of the mast popular officer in the regu

Tlie Premier ITefiisr, te htep Inte a Censen-atlve
Trap.
On the tteeting of the Heuse of Commens
Thursday afternoon, Mr.,Hugh Helmes, Con
servative, oITered the motion of which he
had given notice. It was te the effect that
the "Heu'e, before voting en the Irish
estimates, w Ishes te knew what policy the
government hasnRreeil upon te restore anil
maintain order In Ireland."
Mr. Gladstone, speaking en the motion,
challlnKly declined te rail into the trap set for
him. He said that he was net such a simple
ton as te yield te the artful allurements et his
opponents. He nad already Mated that the
government was considering the quotien
of social order In Ireland, the land question
unci the question of the future government
of Ireland. These subjects were inextrica
bly associated. The government was really
entitled te thiee months time ler the prepa
ration of Irish measures. Jlr. Gladstone
characterized Mr. Helmes' ntUck as one of
the feeblest ever maUe upon the executive
branch of the government. The Introduction
of the motion was really tantamount te justi
fying coercion, In which the government
would be no parly, lrtuelate government
had premised coercion the mere proposal
would have been lolleped by disastrous con
sequences. Helerrlng te sneering allusions
te Mr. Davitt'naud the league's denunciation
or outrage, Mr. Gladstone said that he was
dad te hear that Mr. Dwitt was preaching
order, ami delighted that the le-ague was
mending iu manners.
Mr. Helmes' motion was withdrawn.
The Pam el 11 tea admit that Mr. Glad
stone's pe:h was a very brilliant one. and
they express themselves as lilgilv satislied
wltli it. '
In an Interview Mr. Healy (Nationalist)
said it was evident that Mr. Oladstoue was
determined te lultill his pledges en the lines
of his Midlothian inanlfe?te,even ithosheuld
lie compelled te threw ovorbeard Mr. Cham
berlain nnd ether members of the cabinet.
Mr. Gladstone's speech contained no detlnite
i idienlinn of his modus operandi, but the
Parnellltes would be perlectlv satislied with
the result et the division.
A story nf I.iuieln.
In the autumn of 1S30 a traveling book
peddler, who afterward became a successful
publisher ami the head of a firm whose name
is well-known In the United .States te-day,
came te the deer of a leg-cabin en a farm in
Fastern Illinois, and asked for the courtesy
of a night's lodging. There was no near lnu.
The geed wife was hospitable but per
plexed, "for," said she, "we can
teed your beast, but we cannot ledge
you, unless you are willing te sleep
with the hired man." " Let's have a leek at
him first," said the peddler. The woman
minted te the slde et the house, where a
lank, six-looted man, In ragged but clean
clothes, was stretched en the grass reading a
book. "Ile'll de," said the strauger. "A
man who leads a book us iiard as that fellow
seems te, lias get tee much else te think of
beside my watch or my small change," The
hired man was Abraham Lincoln; uud when
he was president, the two men met In Wash
ington and laughed together ever the story
et their earlier rencentre.
