THE LEGISLATIVE TICKETS. ‘We reproduce for the information of the pub- lic the names of the several candidates for the Legialatare in this city and county. Each dis- trict has one Senator and three Representatives, *the Iatter to be chosea by the cumulative vote. This secures to the minority in each district one Representative. The candidates, arrenged by Sistricts, are as follows: Dratrict. Republican. Oprontion. George E. White. incoln Dubos well. ead ‘John C, Barker. In the Second, Fourth, and Sixth Disiricts no Senator is to be chosen. In the Second District, thers being mo opposition, all the candidates pamed willbe elected. Thesame will be the result for Representatives in the Third and Fourth Districts. In the First, Fifth, and Beventh Districts the contest will be for the odd member. Inthe Sixth District the Opposition have nominated three candidates, expecting to elect them all, which they will certainly do unless the Republicans have the sense to cumu- iate their whole vote on Mr. Harvey. In the First District the Republicans bave pominated for Senator Mr. George E. White, at present an Aldorman from the Eleventh Ward, who for some specisl reason is the randidate of C. F. Periolat, the notorious con- tractor for county supplies, whose bills have re- cently been 80 merciiessly exposed in the Board of County Commissioners, and who figures so conspicuonsly in the case of the purchase of the hoepital lot, where he contracted to deliver the votes of a majority of tae Commissioners for a cortain sum of mouey to be paid to him. Itis intimated thst Periolat aims to be the contractor for delivering supplies to the State Insane Hos- pital at Elgio, and to all the other State hospi- tals and asylums, and to id bim in this desires a special friend in the State Senate. Independ- ent of his association with Periolat, this man White is specially unfit o go to the Legislatura. Heis incompetent for an intelligent discharge of his duties, and, instead of being a service, will bea positive detriment to the inter- eatsof Chieago in the Legislature. The opposing eandidate is ex-Mayor Jobn C. Haines, who has, &t asacrifice of his personal interests, coneented to serveif elected. We need not tell the voters of the istrict who Afr. Hainesis. Ho is thor- onghly informed as to the wants and interesta of this city; he is experienced in every branch of tae municipal government ; and 10 man can be more usefal or exercise more influence for good at Springfield than Ar. Haines. The entire bummer vote will bo given for White, and it is therefore esgential that every respectable citizen in the district see to it that Mr. Haines is slected. It in likewise very desirable that Judge’ Bradwell should be elected one of the Repre- wentatives in this district. Ho is & man of expe- rience, vigilance, and integrity. It is rarely thas the city gets 88 good a Ropresentative in the Legislatare. In the Sixth District there are five eandidates for Representstives, and only three can be electod. It the voters choose Mr. Jackson, Mr. Stickney, and Mr. Harvey, they wounld get a firet-rate dolegation in point of ability and character. Both parties, however, are grasping at too much in this district, and are liable to 1080 their best men. Inthe Beventh District the opposing candi- dates for Senator are able lawyers and worthy eitizans. Whichever is elected, the district will be creditably represented. The chances are in avor of Mr. Robinson. The several districts are made up territorially »a follows: L Warts1,3,10, 11, I1. Wards 3, 4, 5, Hyde Park, and Lake, TIL Wards 6,7, 8. : IV, Wardeg, 12,13, V. Wards 14, 15, 18. VL Warda 16, 17,19, 29, m:m All the towns in the county, except Hyde Pack The questions at iesue between the First snd Michigan Avenue Baptist Churches have been settled at last by the very peremptory refusal of the former to wnite with the lattor: From s fioancial point of view, the action would seem b to be unfortunate, as the union wonld have been followed by s very material ion in ex reduction in ex- Penses, and tne former church would have been saved 2 building-debt. From the usefal point of view, it would seem equally unfortanate, ss one largs and powerful church eould effect more than two emaller churches located within a mils of esch other. The general aspect of ths 880 1 rather surprising. Upon the announce- mont of the sesull, there wad » wary fervent ejaculation of **Praise God!™ It will strike the general reader with some surprise that it should be necessary for the members of the Firet Baplist to praise God because they were not obliged to unite with the Michigan Avenue Baptist. What hsve the latter folks been doing thar makes this escape & matter for devout thankfulness ? THE NEXT COMMON COUNCIL, On Tuesday next the people of this eity and county will have to elect ouc-third of the Board of County Commistioners, and one-half of the Common Council. These two bodies are our lo- cal Legislatures. Together they levy four times the tax imposed for all State purposes. Their action is final, and from it there is no appeal. They bave unlimited an:hority to expend and unlimited autbority to assess. They are, there- fore, really of more importance tous asa com- munity than the members of Congress. Thora are twenty-one Aldermen to be elected,—one to fill & vacancy, and twonty to serve two years. The two political parties have mado selections of candidates, and the public have no alternative but to select from these liats, whether the men be good and proper men or not. Here are the two lists: Wards, ~ Repuolican. Demaocratic, 1. W. 3. Richardson, D, T, IL 2. F.W. Warren, . Maris 3. Divid Coey, R. O'Sullivn. 4. Josepis E. Otis. e — 5. Thowas C, Clark, —_— 6, —————— Michael Schmitz, 7. Patrick 3cClory. P. H, Joyce. . John Willard. Richard Collins, 9. Josiah Greenwood. James O'Brien. Ino. Comiskey, Ind. 10. D.W. Clark, Alonzo Snider. 11, Jumes Walsh. D. 0'Callaghan. 12 A, N, Waterman, ——— 13. J. S. McFarland. A. C. Case, Ind, 4. B, Quirk, Ludwig Wolf.' 15. Nicholus Eckhardt. W. Joarfield, 3. A, E. Lindt (vacancy). ‘Michacl Ryaz, 16. Eugene A. Sithig. Peter Mahr. 17. Louia Schatiner. P. Schumacher. 18, Thomas Cannon, . Sweency, 19, . P. Dickinson. I.B. Tielen. 2. John Corcoran. AL O'Byrn, Capt. Dail. Of these, Messrs. Richardeon, Warren, Coey, McClory, D. W. Clark, Quirk, Schaffer, and Cannon, of the Ropublicans, and Alessra. Schmitz, 0'Brien, snd Mahr, of tho Democrats, are at present members of the Board. Of the othors, Mr. Otis, of the Kourth Ward, served vory honorsbly ws Alderman of the Second Ward in 1869-'71; and John Comiskey served several terms as Alderman from the Ninth Ward. James Walsh, the Republican candidate in tho Eleventh Ward, is the notorious Alder- man who was convicted of bribery in 1872, and who served out & term in -the County Jail. He bas been selected by tho Republicans to help their ticket by the votes of his associates and friends. In the Twentieth Ward the Repub- licans have practically dropped their own regu- lar candidate, and have nominated John Corco- ran, the present Alderman, who was Mike McDonald's candidate for the Democratic nomi- nation for Sheriff. Failing to get that, the gam- blers have nominated bim for Alderman. The other men are all new to politics, and are bardly known out of their wards. The Demo- crats make no' contest in the Fourth, Fifth, Twelfth, and Thirteenth Wards. In the latter ward Mr. Csse is an iodependent candidate. The task of discriminating between these candi- dstes rests with the voters of the seversl wards, who are presumed to imow the men. There is too much dependent on the character of the members of the Common Council to warrant any voter in adheriug to mere party nominations when the public interest may be promoted by voting othermise. A year ago, the people of the Eleventh Ward rejected tho man Walsh, and it is to be hoped, for the character of the city, that they wjll do the same now. His election would be = diegrace to the city. ‘We have attemptod no detailed criticism of the eandidates, because the great majority of them are strangers to us ; it is the people of the sev- eral wards who must discriminate, and it is to be hoped they will do eo fearlessly. Even when this is done, there will bo ample cause to fear that the charscter of the Common Council has not been improved. PROF. SWING AND THE SYNOD. The clerical profession delights to spread itself on ** public corruption,” the * malignity of party strife,” “ the venality of the secular press,” and Boon. It therofore becomes a matter of inter- est to observe how this class of moralists carry thomselves, when they come into sharp collision with each other. It is worth recording that many of them demean themselvesin a manner Lonorable to the holy name they bear. We can- not say the same of all. We had an edifying spectacle, some months ago, in the Episcopal Convention in Wisconsin. We have had another exbibition of clerical human nature in tho late trisl of Prof. Swing. The matter is now cool. For that reason the public can estimate more justly the character of clorical integrity. ‘While this made-up case was in the Chicago Presbytery, a venerable Professor arose and read from one of Ar. Bwing's sermons, stopping in the middio of a scntence, when the very next word gave a differcnt sense to the whole passage. It wo may believe Mr. Noyes’ * card,” published in Tue TRinuxe, & similar attempt to mislosd hearers was made on tho floor of the Synod of Tlinois North, the prosecutor quoting Scottish law from a book not likely to.be in the hands of American Presbyterians, and omit- ting from the passage a part which conveyed & senso exactly “opposite to that which it was designed by the mutilated ex- tract to convey to tho Synod. If we may be- lieve the Alliance, wo have also an instanco of morn\.intrepidit_v on the part of eleven men, who, being sworn to give & vordict according'to the evidence in the case, voted to sustain the Latrd Collier charge, not one word of testimony being brought forward, and Prof. Patton having re- grotted (s mstter they had forgotton) that he could not bring his witnesses into court. Still another instance of the bigh sense of personal onor entertained by that body of divinea wae exhibited when the Rev. Dr. Frame accepted the position of counsel for Prof. Swing, and Rlaringly neglected the interests of tho defend- ant. But the greatest lapse from good faith, and one which holds up to the scorn of the world the clerical estimation of the sacredness of & compact, was tne attempt—largely successful— to mass the columns of the Old School against New-School Preabyterians, which to all in- tents they had eolemnly pledged, at the time of reanion, with prayers and Ballelujahs, that they would nover do in any circumstances whatso- ever. What better aro these than other poor einners, wha remember only what is convenient or useful ? B It was, perhaps, no worso morally, but it was certainly moaser, to utter the sentence on Prof. Swing which that body bas, to its lasting dis- grace, put on record. “The proof of these charges would, under other circumstances, re- quire it {the Synod] to”— do what? Ask Afr. Swiog to join tho Methodists, or Gongregation- alists, or same other body of Christiaus who would Dot tale offanss at his presching? That would be too Christian,— to * pronounce the sentence of suspension from the Gospel min- dstry™! If there be any bigotry, or assumption of spiritual monopoly, that would mot go into eclipse by this action of & Presbyterian Synod, the world would like to know where itis. Why did they let the heratie go, with his head on his’ shoulders, after that? The * carnal mind " can- nct fail to regard the verdict, either as a despic~ able attempt to stain & spotless man, or & cow- ardly evasion of duty towards s guilty one. TWO MODEL POLICEMEN. In companson with the negligence, dilatori- ness, and Iack of judgment so otten displayed by members of the Chicazo police force, the exemplary conduct of Officers McInirney snd Kelly, in dealing with the two Bidgeport des- peradoes, which was set forth a¢ length in our issue of Saturdsy, is not only refreshing, but deserving of tho highest eommendation snd of public recognition. These two gallaut patrol- men, aftor being shot by the roughs and one of them dangerously wounded, never relaxed their offorts to capture the scoundrels until those offorts were successful. Officer Kolly, al- though he had received = shot in his body, pursued his man for & Jong dis- tance, weakened as he must have been, until became vp with him. The desperado at last turned and eoolly drew a bead upon the officer ; but the charge did not explode, and his life was saved. The quickness of the officer did not ailow the villain & second chance. Down came his good club with crushing force, and the repe- tition of the blow shivered the locust and the villain simultaneously, leaving the latter in such 2 limp and demoralized condition that he was unable to offer any further resistance. The gal- lant Kelly conveyed his prize to the station, and then walked half mile to » druggist's to have his wounds cared for. >3leanwhils, Mclnirney, althongh twice wounded, once in the hand and once i the leg, kept up the pursuit of the other rascal, through alleys and by-ways and lumber-yards, until he had forced him to the river bank. At this point the latter compelled the mate of a vessel, William Meadae, to take him acrose the river in his yawl, under pain of death ifhe refused. He jumped aboard, and when balf way across the stream, slthough constantly covered by the desperado’s pistol, the galluut son of Neptune exccuted a feat with oary Litberto moparalleled for eoolness, dexterity, and courage. Unshipping his oar, he managed to get it between lus passenger's legs, and shoved bim into the river, to the bottom of which he went post-iaste. Upon reappearing from his sudden and unoxpected bath, Meade seized his pistol from him, aud then left bima to find bis way to the land or go to the bottom for good. TUnfortunately, the latter event did not occur, but, fortunately, when the drenched and chilled scoun~ drel reached the Jand, another officer was in wait- ing, who took him in charge. The sct of the sailor was not only a skillful but s gallant one, for if he had failed in the attempt his life would have paid the penalty. His plucky conguct de- serves a very substantial recognition, —sometling more than mero bhonorable mentjon of the af- fair. The event, from the beginning to the close, is characterized by a display of gallantry, endur- ance, and sound-judgment which has never been surpassed, and perhaps never equalled, in the records of the police force of this city. Neither ofiicer quailed for a singlo, instant in the dis- charge of his duty, although one was severely and the other dsogerously wounded, snd both were acting at the peril of their lives, baving hsd pistols snapped at them 8o near that they were burned by the powder. Their endurance was equal to their gallantry. Althongh wounded in the leg, one of the officers never slackened his pace, but kept his man constantly in sight. It almost & miraclo that the other seeme officer, the ball having entered bhis meck and pussed into the body, lodging near the lungs, could have persevered in the pur- suit untilhe had overtaken his man, and then, in his necessarily weak condition, have strength enongh left to overcoms him and take bim tothe station. It would almosteeem asif such exer- tion muat pecessarily have proved fatal by su- perinducing internal lemorrhage or bursting some blood vessel ; but even after be had safoly disposed of his prisoner, he had strength and de- termination enough to walk half a mileto a druzgist’s. In such s case asthis thereisan element of moral a8 well as physical courage, and a display of resolution snd nerve which allies his conduct to the highest forms of heroism. Men have been handsomely rewarded and exalted to high station for less eourageous acts than this. Too much praiso canmot be ewarded the officers also for their excellent judgment and cool conduct under the most try- ing and provoking circumstances. If the offi- cers had fired upon and killed both men, they would have boen promptly acquitted, and the world would bave been well rid of two scoun- drels. This opportunity, however, which they had over and over again, they did not improve, but resolutely and sternly persevered in their work until the prisoners were in custody. Of euch gallant work and exemplary conduct as this the City Government, if not the citizens themselves, should take some special notice. Such instances are too rare to be allowed to pass unnoticed. They have shown themselves to be modelofficers. Their example shonld be bronght prominently bofore the rest of the force, and their reward should be such as to stimulate their companions to similar promptness, good judg- ment, and gallantry. As for the brave sailor Meade, he deserves to bo mada Csptain of the finest craft that sails the lakes. —_—— RITUALISTIC EVOLUTION. Mr. Darwio and other naturalists of his sory hold, wo suppose, no patent on the doctrine of Evolution. If the theory has application 3Dy~ where, it has in the development of the various orders of Ecclegiasticism and Ritualism. Usually the origin of Ritualistic species can b casily traced and acoounted for. The point of genesis, with 3 little eareful research and tho aid of comparative anatomy, can be discovered, 2s also here and there not a fow instances of what Dr. Bastian might call “heferogenesis.” That is when & species, in the process of ite natural devel- opmont, s conditioned by its surronndings, has ‘become #0 far * differentiated” as to produce an apparently now sort of creature altogother. Tho forms of religious worship change lesst among the rudest and least cultured peoplos. When society has got fairly into the way of progress and babits of free movement, evolution is inavi~ table. No particular kind of Ecclesissticism or of Ritualism is then 80 stationary as it may seem. All ore undergoing a process of transition. Whatever thing lives must adjust itself to its environmest, sad, if its onvironments are subjeot to processes of clhisnge, it must change too. Churches are not exceptions to this rule. The exigencics of their existence necesei~ tate a.continuous evaintion. It has been 8o with -why Mr. Stephens suould be re-elected. Romanism. It has been so with Anglicaniam. 1t is g0 with the Awerican branch of the same Church. But this aleo is to be borne in mind: the process of development is not always single. It may be two-fold, aud the two directly antago- pistic to each other. This is often the case. It is most plainly the case with the American Epis- copal Cburch at the present time. And this fact must be recognized, or one will fail to appre~ ciate the peculiarity of the situation. The pre- natal struggle of Jacob and Esau is the true symbol of that moustly hidden, but dead-in- earnest, strife which is going on in the bosom of both the Anglican sud the Ameri- can communions. These Churches are, by their origin and history, explicitly Protestant. Never- theless, 3 section of esch—if mot openly, yet implicitly and essentially—has eome to contra- dict the ninety-five theses of Lutber, snd have fartively packed themselves off to Rome. This is the obstinate fact which now coufronts these two Protestant vrganizations. The Genorsl Convention of the Episcopal Church is the most notable ecclesiastical gath- ering of the period. Its proceedings are nat- urally attracting much actention. In spiteof the closed doors, everyone sees that matters there are regarded as having come to & pass. And all the priestly and prelatical savants there in council are likely to find it a good deal ensier to tell how the evolutionary intruder got in =nd throve so lustily thaa to tell exactly how to thrust it out. With the great majority of Episcopalians, Ritualisw is a nuisance and a pest. In any square stand-up fight the Ritualists would be nowhere. They stoop to conquer. They disavow and conceal when they are broaght to the test, and those who avow do not svow all. This embarrasses the efforss of the majority, who are striving to Retrid of the parasites, or what they consider tobe such. An evident disposition exiats to put down Ritualism, and something was accomplivhed in that direction when Dr. Seymour waa roject- ed; butit i not likely that auything more de- cistve will be done by the Convention at its pres- eot seesion. But the Ritualistic evolution will continue, and before mauy years the Church will ba obliged to define itself on the question of spectacular religivus ceremonies in & way that will send the Ritualists to Rome somewhst faster than they are now going, or incor the sk of soeing the Cheney movement reinforced by s very large accessior BHERIFF AND CORONER. The Chicago Times publishes a long article on what it calls the *Sour Mash ™ political combi- nation 1n this county, whose candidate for Sher- ff is Mr. Frank Agnew, and it berates this com- Dination soundly, forgetting to mention that its caudidate for Congre:sin the First District, Mr. B. G. Caulfield, is about'as near the head of that combination as 3t is possible for anybody to get. We have taken some pains to inquire into the character, standing, and antecedents of Mr. Agnew, and, while we do not indorse all that the Times ways in his dispraise, we think that Mr. Bradley is decidedly the better man of the two for the position. Mr. Bradley ought not to have been nominated for a *third term;” but, baving been nominated, and the choice lying between him and his competitor, we advise those who hiave the best intercets of iha county at heart to sapport him. We beliove that he will provea more efficient, faithful, and responsible officer than Mr. Agnew. * For the oftice of Coroner she candidates are John Stephens, present incumbent, and Emil Diotsch. Thers is no reason that we know of He his held the office long enough. His competitor, Mr. Dietsch, is 2 competent, intelligent, and honorable man. Among the Germans of Chica~ 50 10 ono stands higher. There is & very strong probability that Mr, Dietsch will be elected, whether his colleague on the ticket (Mr. Agnew) is or not. BISMARCK AND VON ARNIM. The imprisonment of von Arnim, and his dogged refusal to surrender the documents in Dis possession at the command of Bismarck, is but the culmiuation of s conflict which began soveral years ago between the two stasesmen. The German public first became aware of the struggle that was going on betweco them after the downfall of Thiers. Von Arnim was cbarged with baving accorded a sympathy to MacMahon to which the latter was not entitled from a Ger- man representative. Bismarck was dissatisfied +with Von Arnim’s course in the promises. Mac- Mahon, Germans claim, is not friendly to tho German Empire, and is doiag, and was disposed to do, Little for the cause of peace. From this time the odherents both of Bis- marck and von Arnim began a polemical warfare. Von ArniZ’'s course during the ses- sion of the Vatican Council, while ho represented the German Empire at Rome, was mado the sub- ject of debate. Tho contest botween the two ended in the publication of official documents on Doth sides, but espocially of & report made by von Arnim whilo Mivister. The punwshment of this last indiscreet act of von Arnim was his re- moval fromthe position of Ambassador to France. He endeavored to obtsin an audience from the Emperor in order to justify his sourse. The audience was refused. YVon Arnim's frionds elaim for him that he is the only man likely to supplant Bismarek. They say that he was the first to appreciate the fall bearing of the Council, and to recommend that messures should be taken to gusrd the Empiro against the encroachments of clerical power. Bismarck is blamed for having cousidered the Couneil a trivial matter in the beginning. Von Arnim wished the German Government to bring its influence to bear oz the German Bishops while Lo was at Rome, and prevent the sdoption of the dogma of Papal infallibility. Bismarck did not opposs the paseage of the dogma. The result was that the conflict between the Church and the Empire became inevitable. Bismarck's friends answor that, however true this may be, the idea was not original with von Arnim, and thst, besides, the Promier's policy toward tho Church hes proved the best inthe end. The ‘more this matter was diecassed, the greater graw the breach between the two. Since thelattor's re- moval from Paris, it has boen confidently ex- pected that he wonld endeavor to retaliato on Bismarck. It was widoly rumored, too, that a work entitled *The Revolution from Above"™ was 500n to be published, and that it wounld con- tain matter very damsaging to Bismarck. Suspi- cion rested on vor Arnim. Certain official documents wers found missing from the archives of the Bmbasey of Paris, It was sapposed that von Amim had appropristed them, with the in- tention of giving them to the public. Hence the arrest and imprisonment, and tbe search inatitated by Bismarck for the missing papers, with the hustory of which the publie are already familiar. The whole morsl of the affair seems to bo that Bismarck wants to show to German diplomatists that officis}l doenmanis eannot be published with impanity. probably for his own safety, though he professes to put it on the ground of public policy. GUIZOT AND VEUILLOT. Guizot has been called the Protestant Pope Louie Veuillot is the right-hand man in Fraoce of the Pope in Rome, for whom he does good work as editor of the Univers, the leading Cath- olic newspaper in France. No man conld have less sympathy with Guizot than the great Ultra- montane journalist. Still, in the first number of his paper that zoppeared after its suspension, he dovoted to the memory of the deceased atates- man and author s remarkable article, which, considering the source, may be Jooked upon s & high testimonial to the virtue and genius of Guizot. Veuillot first met Guizot when the lat- ter was President of the Council and Miuister of Foreign Affairs under Louis Philippe. Venil- lot himself was st the time & subordinate State official. It was his duty to give Guizot every day a report of the opinions expressed by the morning journals, and to write down the com- ments made upon them by him for the Ministry of the Interior. He grew attached to Guizot. Among the qualities of his chief which caused the future journalist to cling to him were hig raredignity, his oxhanatless patience, his disposi- tion to oblige, his respect and devotion to his mother, his tenderness for his children, his simplicity in his greatness, his wonderful eloquence, and his almost boundless informa~ tion. » Veuillot had hoped that Guizot would some day enter the true fold; but this hope was doomed to end in disappointment. Still Lonis Veuillot is not, or ratber does not mean to be, entiraly complimentary to Guizot. Strange to say, be finds in him o disciple of Voltaire and Rousseau,—=a man withont faith and without re- ligicn! And all this in face of the fsct that Guizot bas published two series of Meditations on the Christian Religion, sud has written an argument in favor of the immortality of the soul. Allthese factsVeuillotgets rid of by assur- pg his readers that, in all thst Guizot writes on religion, thera i not the trace of a single great thought; that his religion was only a form of specch, s negation; and that he talked about theology without knowing what theology meant, At bottom he claims that Guizot was a ekeptic liké those he wrote against, but a ¢keptic with- out knowing it. Notonly was he a skoptic, he was & revolutionist, a8 Venillot charges. Gui- zot's political creed is found to be not mach bet- ter than his religious one. He charges bim with having both opposed and favored Democracy. His mistake was in supposing that, having re- fused to be governed by an aristocracy of birth, France should consent to be governed by an aris- cocracy of shop-keepers. M. Veuillot must look through very queer spectacles to discover in M. Guizot a disciple of Voltaire, a mam witbout religion, a skeptic, and a revolutionist, The trouble with M. Veuillot nadoubtedly is,—and it ia the explanation of his charge against Guizot,—that any one not his dis- ciple is a disciple of Voltaire, and that whoever does not accept his own peculiar dogmas is a skeptic and a revolutionist. And thus it hap- pens that Veuillot's censure of Guizot, no less than his prase, is to be put to the credit side of the deceased atatesman. Larkyns was a maao of infinite adventure. He was one of Charles Lever's haroes in real life. As the younger son of & rich Scotchman, he gat » deal of lesrning and a little lucre. A few years of life on the Continent added to the formerand swept away the latter. While he waa living roy- ally on his principal, he seems to have amused himself with plotting dire destruction for the crowned heads of Europe. He carried a musket under Garibaldi, and is said to bave belonged to Mazzini's secret league. The spies of Europe kpew him. He grew accnstomed to being sscort~ od across frontiers by two policemen. He was withal only an amateur conspirator. Plots fasci- ‘nated him. He declared that he never meant to do any King harm, and indeed his schemes al- ways failed. Perhaps ho folt thst he was to reign himself. Bot we sotici- pate. When Larkyns came home, sccomplished and peoniless from his wanderings, his relatives bought him an army-commission. He sailed for India to join his regiment. Arrived there, he soon wearied of the routine, sold out of the ser- vice, and started for Central Asia. There his fortune culminated. He fell into the good @races of a heathen potentate, admiristered his Government for him, and finally freed him from all further care in the matter by making himself Rajah. e succeeded to the palace, the harem, and the Tressury of the msn he had expelled, and led = life of barbaric maguificence. After six years of solitary splendor, he wearied of the cares of State. He decamped at night, and be- took himself aod a trunkful of dismonds to Lon- don. Hie family natarally Killed tho fatted calf in his honor, but he quarreled with them soon and bade them good-by forever. This made de- pendence on them impossible when, soon after, an unlucky speculation robbed him of the spoila of his Rajabship. Hisbeggaryand the ontbreak of the Franco-German war werecoincident. He was soon fighting, a8 Maj. Larkyns, oo Gen. Bour- baki's staff. Bravery gave him the cross of the Legion of Honor, and then, at Metz, a wound. He limped through the campaign, which ended at Bedan, and was captured with his pro tem. monarch. He fadea out of view a8 a prisoner of war st Sedan, and reappears ag a soldier of for- tune as Salt Lake City, in the winter of 1872 Thence he wandered to Honolulu, back to Ssa Francisco, and into a 'Frisco jail. The failure of the man who had cashed his fictitious drafts to prosecuto him set him free. The ex-King be- came 8 coal-heaver. As a day-laborer, as a stavedore, as a clerk, as & trapslator, as a critic and correspondent, he worked to gain momey and regain reputation. He was well employed at Calistoga when the end came. A jealous 8an Francisco husband harried thither with Larkyns' letters to his wife in his pocket and his pistol in his hand. He called Larkyns to the door, and the doomed m=an csme. There was a ory of *‘Throw up your hands!" an oath, & flash and the dull thud of = builet, and the man of the world weot out of the world. The wages of his gin were death. He might have done much, but he preferred o enjov much; and this was the ghastly end of an odd life. Among the queerest of the queer crowd that will rise from California goil when the Jast trump sounds will be the lste Larkyns. But two more days remain before the election. It is naturally to be presumed that duringthis time a great deal of hard work will be acoom- plished. Both parties are confident of suecess, although but one can be successful. Al the candidates are working upon the supposition that they will be elected, and are 5o sbaping their affaira; and the canaidates om both mides are mndoubtedly convincod that if they are not alectad, the eountry will go te weack and rman. The country, however, will do nothing of the kind. It will go on just the same a8 befora, and as if there had becn no election. This being the case, and it being the case also that but one set of candidates can be elected, would it not be well for both parties to hold offt to-day and to devote Sunday to such melita- tion and reflection that, on Wedneaday morning, the defeated side, whichever it may be, can bear its defeat with & philogophical spirit and be ready toresume its daties in the world as usual? This will save much growling, swearing, and hunting round for excuses, which is one of the most un~ gracions occupations that ever politician can indulge in. A FASHIONABLE FOLLY. Mrs. Grundy has decreed that Mra. Jones and Mrs. Smith, who bave nothing whatever in com- mon beyond the fact of belonging to the same social set, and who naturally either dislike each other exceedingly, or are entirely indif- ferent $o each other, shall exchange formal calls ad infinitum. Accordingly, Mrs. Jones, with loudly-expressed regret at the necessity of going, and hope that Mrs. Smith will be out, arrays bereelf elaborately and pulls the Smith door-bell. If Mrs. S. is not at bome, actusally or figuratively, Mrs. J. breathes ‘a sigh of rolief and hurriss away. If she is, M. J.+ is ushered into = Ilugubrions parlor, where she wastes half sn hour in idle goseip about the weather, and the last engage- ment, and the next party, and the wondrous schievements of various common place chil- dren. Each woman listens and talke languialy. Each is wishing the bore wera over. When the neceseary minutes have been consumed, Mrs. Jones departs. When the necessary weeks have passed, Mrs. Smith plays her part in this most tedions society drama, and the curtain falls, to nise again, & month or two later, on Mrs. Jones. Both these women wonld stop this farcical ex- change of visit, if they dared. But they do not dare. It is the fashion and they follow it. Asa result, they are obliged to waste hours on hours, week after waek, in & round of bowing, and gos- siping, aud smiling, from which they get no posaible good. They sither bave to give up one whole day every week to receiving calls, or they must hold themselves in readiness, st almost every hour of every day. to do so. It does not seem to occur to these pedple that whera such s system prevails nothing else systematic can. There can be mo fired hoars for anything. Friends csonot exchange calls st will because acquantaintances left in the lurch would be hurt. Sometimes & womsn grows sufiiciently inde- pendent t0 announce that sbe will not make calls. Then the rest ¢! her sex, every one of whom would be glad to imitate her, affecta proper horror, and condemn as impolite, shock- ing, ete,, her brave disregard of one of the most Benseless observances of society. Five years afterwards, the woman who dared usnally knows something, whileher old associates ara still displaying their old stock of informa- tion. Would it not be well for women Reformers to remember that calling and dressing are two great gronnds for reform? They are alike in thia, that women cap, if they will, effect the re- form in both by their single efforts. Masculine co-operation is not needed. If s few prominent Iadies would but say : ** We will call only on the persons whom we reslly wish to see,” and would make their saying true, we should soon witness s decided change for the hetter. Would it not be well, by the way, for women to remove a few of the disabilities they have imposed upon them- selves before invoking masculine help to rid them of others ? The outlook for the working clacses in large cities during the coming winter is not a very en- couraging one. In New York there are over 6,000 skilled earpenters and others engaged in the building business without employment or mcome. These 6,000 men represent 30,000 peo- ple, thers being on an average five persons ds- pendent on each one of them. Hitherto the building interests of New York €City bave been very promiging. They afforded employment to about 25,000 people. The panic has put & stop to the building of houses for some time. It is estimated that ome-fourth fewer houses have been erected this year in New York thaa last. The building going on now is eopfined to s few grest baoking carporations with immense capital. The construction of dwelling- houses has ceased almost entirely. The compe- tition for contracts ia 80 great that there is little or no money in them. The wages of the men still employed bave been cut down fully 25 per cent. Building-firma that a yesr ago employed forty bands have now ent down the number to thres or four. o for aa building interests are concerned, the working classes of Chicago are batter off thasthone of New York,—the rebuild- ing in the Burnt Distriot of the July fire having farnished employment t0 & large number, The public will learn - with considerable pleas- ure that Cochise is dead.

Scarcely a modern house but bas s bath-room witha fsucet connectiog with the water-gupply from the Water-Works. In addition to this, many houses are supplied with length of garden-hose, used extensively duricg the summer for the watering of grass-plots sidewalks, and roadway.

This could bs dome by using a faucet which can be removed st plessurs, snd leave a place toscrew on the hose.
