He had hi theory about the jrrav itating power of the world, but he liked fully as well to hear about the latest quarrel between Mrs. Squire Alien aud litr BlsUT, iiie jtarsuuo wife. "A meddlesome old baboon !" said prettr Alice Dexter, when she caught Mr. Duckett looking in at the win dow one day, to see whether the tall voung man bv the chimney piece was llenry ke or Walter Fitz william, "A most intelligent person, said Mr. Mountniorris, when Mr. Duck ett confidentially informed him that he had overheard, behind the stable door, an active flirtation between Petey, the maid, and Arwmus, the hired man. . . "I don't believe in all this kissing and hugtring," said Mr. Duckett. "And 1 thought perhaps you would like to know." So that the public opinion of Stan dale was pretty equally divided on the subject of old Mr. Duckett He had been up nearly all night, with a telescope, looking for a new comet, and consequently was break fasting rather later than usual, with Mrs. Hopkins, his landlady, wait ing on imu, in her very best cap and apron.. "Yes," said Mrs. Hopkins, as she brought in a fresh fried egg on a piece of toast, '"it's really true this tim to Mr. Pavsley." -And they do say that Dolly Dut ton is ferocious enough to kill her, for every one know that Parsley has been playing fast and loose with Dolly these three years, and has only thrown her over now because Miss Pidgeon's old uncle has left her three thousand dollars, and a set of silver Kpoons." 'Hum r said Mr. Duckett, be tween his sips of coffee. "Very extraordinary." ' "Though for my part," said Mrs. Hopkins, "I never could see what there was about Alphonso Paysley to take the fancy of the girls." "Hut I should not wonder if Dol ly Dutton sued nim for breach of promise vet." Mr. Duckelt was very much inter ested in all this. He had seen Miss Pidgeon once a tail. iale, lean female in specta cles, of some four and twenty sauless summers, and he knew that Alphon- Paysley was the clerk in the vil lage store, a sort of gay Lothario on a small scale. And pretty Dolly Dutton often came in to help Mrs. Hopkins with her churning, preserving and house hold saturnalias of that nature a rosy, pink cheeked young damsel with a'dimple on her chin, a mis chievous gleam under her pearly lashes, and a mortal fear of the lodg er's telescope, which, in her own mind, she could not altogether dis associate from a camera. 'Miss Pidgeon engaged!' repeated Mr. Duckett, as he pushed his plate to one side. 'Then there's hope for the oldest and unliest of us all eh, Mrs. Hop kins?' Kven me?' 'La, sir,' said the landlady, 'there ain't any reason you should't have your pick aid choice ol the nnesi la dies of the land.' 'Do you know of any pretty girls that would take pity on an ugly old bachelor like me? 'Plenty of them, sir,' said Mrs I Tonkins. 'Then,' said Mr. Duckett, sudden ly changing the subject, 'pack my bag, Mrs. Hopkins, it you please.' 'I am sroina up in the woodg to follow the course of the geological strata that underlie this locality. Dear me. 6ir.' said Mrs. Hopkins 'I shall be cone two days,' said the philosopher. 'Very well, sir.' And" when the sage was gone, she eat down to her household mend ing with a sigh. "I really do miss that dear old gen tleman when he's gone.' 'It's rather hard to be left without even a cat to talk to. It was two days before Mr. Duck via fame home, and when he did come home he bounced into the sit ting room in a manner which Mrs. Hopkins afterwards remarked, near ly frightened her out of a years growth. 'Mrs. Hopkins,' he cried, 'where U the constable s house 7 'The constable, sir,' repeated Mrs llonkins. 'It's on the corner of the old mill road the red, brick cottage with the creepers all over it' 'But begging your pardon, sir, what can you possibly want with the constable ?'

'Is it possible that you hav'nt beard of it ? 'Heard what?' Oi the murder.' 'Bless and pave us, sir, 6he said, jumping op. 'What are you talking About ?' He looked intently at her. 'Woman,' said he", 'have you seen Mi Pidgeon lately?' 'Well, now, that you mention it, j I hav not,' said" Mrs. 5Hopkins, wondering greatly. But l u told she s gone to Low ell, a visiting.' He uttered a groan. 'Look at this,' he said 'a piece of crumpled paper which I found be aide a brook, a few miles from this place,' 'Evidently a portion of the guilty corre? pon d ence. 'You will perceive that it is not!1 wi" ) y and get me for e caligrapVy of a cultured ,.i'y 1 ,eorge-I know hops are the sou. And Mrs. Hopkins read on torn and etauud piece of note paper, the fallowing words : -poor p he he pidgeon is 'Dolly Dutton done did it with Ratt poyeon, don't Tel anyone, she. is bemad out under the willow Trea.' All the rest was torn away, hut Tin. Hopkins L&d already read more than enough. 'It aia't possible,' a&id she, turn ing very fi!e.

There was a great crowd that af ternoon around the old willow tree, a well known gnarled veteran, on the edge of a merry little rivulet All the spades and picks in the neighborhood were in requisition. Dolly, the implied murderess, was strong guard, until they could take ! ber to the neighboring" jail, and Al- j t Mm. llnnkina house, unaer a nhonso Pavslev. at Mr. Duckett s suggestion, had been arrested as an accomplice. "Why don't they tell me on what evidence they have uared to arrest me?' said poor Dolly. 'Them weren't my orders, said the constable, who, in truth and in fact, was as much in the dark as Dolly herself. But the spades and the picks, after much diligent labor, produced no commensurate effect I'm blessed if I believe there's anything there, said the biggest of the excavators, and at the same mo ment there was a murmur through out the little crowd, and a woman pressed her way through, and MiaS Phoebe Pidgeon herself stood in the front rank. What on earth are you all doing? said she. Simons told me that I was mur dered. If it really is the case, I do not know it myself yet The diggers dropped their imple ments; the undertakers wagon be gun to back down the road as quiet ly as possible ; the crowd stood open mouthed. Then, said Mr. Duckett, Mow do you account for this letter? Just then a tiny little hand pluck ed at his sleeve. It's my letter, said Squire Allen's little hired boy. I wrote it to Billy Bliss. It's about my pet pigeon my Phebe's dove. Dolly Dutton kept it at at her house for me, and it got poisoned nilhsoiie of the stuff she got to poi son rats. Then, gasped Mr. Duckett, whv didn't we find it then? Caute I took it up vesteraay, said the boy, whimpering, and buried it in our own back yard, so I could look at its grave. There is nothing so quickly turn ed as the tide of public feeling. "Its all Daddy lhickett sown pie, shouted an irreverent young man. I hope he's sati.!ied with the way he's baked it. So Dolly Dutton was released with many apologies ; Alphonso i'jysiey was notified that ne need no longer consider himself under aircst : Miss Pidgeon went home, to find her house in possesion ot hall a dozen artists of illustrated papers; and Mr. Duckett disappeared. Aot mysteriously, however. lie paid his bill at Mr. Hopkins', I gathered together his scientthc im plements, and left town. And the inhabitants ot Manna? have never seen him since. A Bishop'a Eperlen?e of Death. In a sermon in the Talnmiacle Methodist Episcopal church, Phila delphia, one Sunday, Bishop Bow man, ot St. Louis', related the follow ing: "On my return from Japan I p readied in California, and proba bly overworked myself, and on the last Sunday in February, after hold ing divine Bervice in my St Louis church, I returned home, where I was immediately taken sick with a lingering fever, which the physician predicted would end fatally. At this point I seemed to fill into a kind of ecstacy,when I actually did not know whether I was alive or dead. I imagined that I was on board a most magnificent ship, and heard the captain say, "Stop her 1" and which I thought to be the voice of my Divine Master, when my young eighteen months old child, who had died twenty years ago. came to me and said that she had heard that I was coming, and had come to meet me. After some little conver-1 nation, which I do not recollect, she said, "Do you not think that 1 have grown, papa: form of glory Mie then rose in a which I have never before witnessed, and never more expect to see until I die, and then returned to her usual state, saving that she had come in that shane to see if I should know her. She then said that many friends had asked after me and were awaiting mv com-i ing, and that an old lad y and gen - tleman had taken her up 'and kissed ber, and saving thai her papa was their boy. I then asked her where j ber mamma was. "Oh she is off: doinj something for the Lord, but will be at thje wharf to meet us on j our arrival.

He doesn't care much for human life, but on this glad Christ mas day he did not want to run over anybody. Bad enough for his rail road to "crush, pierce, and burn the life out of them. There was a dif ference between that and actually doing it himself. He felt so glad when he saw the lad 6afe and sound that he who had just been preparing to rush on, in the hope that he had not been recognized, pulled up and beckoned the boy to him. "Here, Johnny," he said, here's a dollar, Don,t you try t cross roads that way again "Why, eir, I was running for a doctor. Father told me to hurry up, cause he 'ad to go out and mother's all alone." "Why does four father go out on Christmas Day? To the rumshop, I suppose," said Mr. Vanderbilt, frowning. "Xo, 6ir. Father works on the railroad, and if he misses a day he gets docked." 'Even Christmas?" "Yes, sir. Mr. Vanderbilt don't let up on anybody 'cause it's Christ mas." "He work3 for Vanderbilt, does he?'' "That he does, and mores the bad luck of it, a3 he sava." "Why?' "Well, you see mother's sick, and father has been staying up nights with her, and then he'd take a nap, and twice he got late to the switch and got Cued a quarter each time." "IIow much does he get a day?" "One dollar, sir." "Seventv-five cents a day? Good God! aiu! a sick wife at that," thought Mr. Vanderbilt, and his heart misgave him. Was this right after all? "And what sort of a Christmas dinner will vou have to day?" he asked. "We don't get uone. Father ain't home and mother's sick. The mouey's got to go for to buy medi cine, you see, sir." This was hard and no mistake. "Will you take me to your house?" asked Mr. Vanderbilt. "Yes, sir; it's right here, Bir," said the boy. It was a picture of desolation, but cleanly; no carpet, hut a good, sub stantial cottage; a small 6prig of firs, a woman sitting in an easy chair, thin, pale, but cheerful. When Mr. Vanderbilt entered, the woman exclaimed: "Why, you're not the doctor, sir?" "No, my good woman, but I came from him; he is very busy. Now, what is the matter with you?" "Weakness, sir." "What from? "Well, sir, I hate to say, but I think it's from want of food." T thought bo," and Mr. Vander bilt turned around and put a S50 bill in an envelope and also his card. "In half an hour open this and send it around to the store.

Before the sick woman could say anything he was out and off, but as he rode back to his palace yesterday afternoon his face looked the picture of good nature. He smiled and laughed to himself so that people turned round and exclaimed: "What can he the matter with William H?" When anybody looked at him he did not pale, and the rattle of his wheels over the hard road made rythmic music to the jovous beating of his heart It was the merriest Christmas day Mr. Vanderbilt has spent this many a year. A Four Ijcxced OHjieer. A mongrel dog which answers to the name of "Bum," is, or rather, considers himself, one of the at taches of the Tenth District Station.

A Cry for Leader. Charles Emory Smith, iu chief j editor. U-legraphed a long, able and I very stirring editorial to the Pram on Monday morning, which showed thei desperate straights in wluch the! Tariff then was, with Kelley confess ing to successful Democratic ob struction in the House, and with New York, Ohio and Pennsylvania left in the Senate to their own re sources by New England and the extreme Vest, whose industries had been cared for with a view to divide the friends of the Tariff. Mr. Smith's appeal was for a community ot Tariff interests, and such a leader ship as would keep in steady line a majority which needs only disci pline, firmness and great leadership to accomplish all. The editorial tel egram closes with these words: "Oh! for night or Blucher!" "Oh ! for night or the timely appearance of invigorating Republican leadership." This exclamation not only well described the Tariff situation, but a general political situation brought about by a mad cry against true and tried leaders, and a mad rush to pull them down. Even worse than this was the twin folly which cried for ever increasing rights to minorities. We have the sequel in minorities binding with loose and rattling chains a majority, which for want of brave leadership has feared to shake off its shackles. Kasson would have done it with a rule which says simply that a majority, in emergencies, should have the power to select important measures on which the vote shall first be tak en. Kelley would have backed the rule, but the men on the outskirts, those making up driftwood, the more conservative, the timid, and the rep resentative remains of weak and purile politics, begged that hesita tion might rule the hour, while the Democrats in single chorii3 from Randall to Carlisle howled their ob structive epithets and threats until the air was sulphurous with Free Trade fireworks. Could such threats appall men like Blaine, Conkling, Windom, Fer ry and others who have fallen before! the weakening cries of faction? fallen in au epoch which struck at all leadership an era wherein every appeal was rather to political cow ardice than courage. If the more manly politics which supported Lincoln, Stevens, Wilson, Sumner, Hale, and Wade, had still obtained, tempered only as aggravating causes were removed, could such a cry as that of Charles Emory Smith be now made? Look inward, all ye editors of the Press, the Tribune, the Timer, and ask yourselves this question and as the industries of your States stand in peril note the fact that "hoary locks" are being shaken be fore your faces! The mistake in these great journ als was in yielding to weakening methods and suggestions which found birth under the weak admin istration of Hayes, and growth un der the follies of faction. Our peo ple, too many of them, think that anv fair man can 811 Presidential and Gubernatorial chairs, but breadth of view and high courage must always be there, or the enfee bling traces of political disease can be seen lor years thereafter, the Haves' disease is still upon us; that of Pattison and Cleveland will fol low in Pennsylvania and New York a few months later, but it will strike the other side and give Republicans time to regain their political health, and though the old cry at Waterloo may be repeated lor a few days more, something better will follow. A Blucher may not came in alli ance with the Tariff, but night will, and beyond the night is the dawn of a better diy, when Republicans can cheerily sing, ST Dot good night. Bat in toaia brighter lann bid as i?oo.l morning If the House Tariff bill has failed and Kelly says Democratic obstruc tion has killed it, then look to the Senate bill and if it cannot be so amended as to protect the leading industries of the great Middle States kill it. Do it boldly. Stamp it down in the face of all men, and trust to the brighter day coming. It will come, for Democracy only seizes the lower House; the Senate's Republi can majority increases from two to four; the President is a New York Protectionist, steadily bound to all our great industries. If by any chance a measure of Free Trade passes the future House, the Senate can scale, and the President stab it with his veto. So there is no dan ger ahead. The issue will be made up, and on that all Republicans can go to the country .forgetting a tempo rary weakness impossed by too great success and too great a' proneness to division. In that battle there will be no weak counsels, no resthetic follies, no sympathy with treacher ous minorities, but sturdy, manly united blows for American politics, American ideas, and American in dustriea. . And the Pres., and the Tribune, and the Times will absorb the spirit of the occasion, and do all the better service after their sad ex perience. Media American.

President of the Statistical Society of London, deliv ered a carefully prepared address re cently, which is published in the New York Sun, containing some startling revelations. He forecasts the doom of the human race, thro' lack of the means of subsistence, in case it continues to multiply at its present rate without any enlarge ment of the resources upon which it depends or any change in the eco nomic methods that now prevail. Having observed that the European family, confined till modern times to a small corner of the world, now possess as their habitation over half of the area of the earth available for producing the food of civilized races, he proceeds to bhow that the pressure of population upon the means of subsistence is now deeply felt in the chief countries of Europe, and that there is a rapid encroachment upon their agricultural resources. At the present time large masses of the Eu ropean population has to be sup ported by importations of bread stuffs. In the United States the growth of the millions is leading to moment ous inquiries. We behold tbe doub ling of the population in about 5 years, so that it has multiplied itself by sixteen in the course of thw cen tury. The rate is such as to be fair ly bewildering in its probable con sequences. In another twenty-five years, at the same rale of inc-e.ise, the population will bn 100,(KX,(00, in fifty years 'JOO.OOO.OOO, in seven tv-five years 400,000,000, and at tlm end of the century 800.000,000! But. this growth, within the brief period, indicated, would give for the arable land of the United States a . pouula tion of 400 to the square mile one third as much again as the present population per square mile in the United Kingdom, twice as much per square mile as the population as the United Kingdom supported by home agriculture, and more thau twice as much per square mile as the present population of France. Moreover, a much smaller ratio of increase in the United States of past and present times, say to 400,000,000 in a centu ry, would presuppose practically so violent a change in the existing con dition that the difference between' it and the more violent change- whici an increase of population to the larg er figure would require need not b considered. It Lj from the United States thnt the imports of food to Europe are, now mainlv to be had. About 12.- 000,000 of the people of Great Brit ain, and millions of the people of other European countries, are sus tained by American supplies. It is not dilhcult to see th;vt thus state of things cannot endure, and that even the resources of the United States are to be put to a test fully as severe as that to which those of Europe are now brought, with ominous results.
