Every Officer, from Highest to Lowest, Expected to Control Votes. They Are Now l}équested to Take Back Seats in Future. The Better Class of Republicans, Hereto- fore Kept Away from Primaries, Will Now Come to the Front and Be- organize the Party. - ‘A Da‘y of Humiliation for the Custom-House Dictators. Special ce of The Tribune. Nxw Yok, June 23.—Politics in New York are going v “the demnition bow-wows,” if one may judge by the reports emanating from what have heretofore been regarded as official head- quarters, viz., the places where the Féderal offi- cers hold forth. According to these suthoritics the Republican party is dead and the country on the Grinkof ruin. This political assassination of vital pripciples and of the organization which bas heretofore upheld them has been perpetrat- ed, singular as i may seem, by the very man who has more Interest in upholding those prin- ciples and eustaining that party than .any one else—President Haybs, the sucessof whose Ad- ministration hangs upon the maintenance of the Republican party iw'all its strength and purity. But the President, scekwg to “reform the party .from within,” has tssued an order prohibiting Federal officers assuming to control the Republican party. The same order declares that Federal officers do not- hold their positions contingent upon their pay- ing acertain portion of their salary annually for political purposes—to gresse the wheels of « the machine.” This 1s revolution. Never be- fore has a President dared to trample .under foot the.*customs and usages ” of the party, ‘handed down through many Administrations from their Democratic. predecessors. Sucha . deliberate case of political hari-kari was never known, according to the sages of the Tustom- Housc and the Post-Office, and hereafter the country becomes the personal property of the Democratic party. Thus saith the political officeholder and -bis backers “in their several wards, who dream of future office-holding, and have tied themselves to the wheels of *‘the . machine” in the hope that their ambition would eventually be ified. - But the pon-office- Tbolding portion of the commuinity sce fn the fe- cent order of the Ps ent. " EMANCIPATION FEOM FEDERAL DICTATION 88 regards both national and local polities. No community in the Northern States has been s¢* cursed with this dictation as has this. Federal officeholders haye assumed that they were, par exeelience, the Republican party, and that ordi- - . pary citizens had pothing to do but to vote as ¢ they directed. Uther cities have had a similar experience, o a certain extent, but nowhere else are the Federal officers nuwerdus enough to carry out their programmes. But bere the * thonsands of men emplosed In the Custom- House, the Post-Office, the Internal Reveaue service, the Margbal’s office, and the United Btates Courts, coustitute an army of most re- spectable size. Every man in Governmeut ¢m- ploy has heretofore been & mere creature of hiis superiors in office. Every one owed his sppontment to- the fact that he con- troll or was supposed to con~ trol, a certatn number of votes. ‘The Collector 2nd the Postmagter were appointed because of the political Influence they can wield, ‘and, in sclecting their subordinates, they required that they, t00, should control voted@be ableto ny nipulste primaries, and do good service In o ventions. No caucus or prim; was held without the understrappers of the Government® Deing on hand to assist in carryiug out 3 pro- grame previously agreed upon between the party leaders who were respousible for the “proper running of **the machine.” The Col- Fecmr. the Postmaster, and the Burveyur rave’ thelr orders to their subordinates that In such 8 ward such men must be chosen as. delegates 10 conventions, such a one nominated for Coug press, this one for the Assembly, and that ome for Alderman; for the machine mausgers, heving lurge npumbers of ‘hangers-on Lo provide for, paid more or Jess at- tention to dty politics, in order that they might be in a postion to trade. Unofiivial citizens Dave been kept away from the primary meetings because they found them in possession of tne Ring managers, who had the strength to out- vote them every Lime. . 44 MACHINE POLITICS " have, become a stench in the nostrils of our people, and last vear the Democrats madea 'guo‘d‘dm! ‘of capital by applyiug ihis term as Sne of reproach to the Kepublican candidutes and party managers. Senator Conkling has long bueu recognized 1s the licad aifd iront of this offending. He was re.pousible for the engrineer, fireman, and condudor of *¢the ma- chine,” ‘and they were responsible to him that the traln-men Lhe{ecmployml were loyal to him first, and to the pariy afterwards. Not even a_common laborer, under the weighers on the docks, could get 2 doy's work unless he twas sound as remarded the Senator and the party, while weighers wergy| selected for these posltions because of the facuity they showed in_controliing the votes of the ignorant Irish laborers. Hence we bad Re- lican “ Timmy O'Brien Associations™ and i Mickey. O'Shea™ target companics,—the in- ividuais who lent their names to these organ- ations holding good places in the Federal service, contributing liverally to the support of such sssocintions, and voting their mcmnbers straight on election-day. Thcse were the gangs ihat turned out in force, under orders, to the mass-meetings, and did the shouting and the arading When_shouting and parading were Heemed. desirable, Then, when' the campaign stred _ hot," the men who were graciously allowea to con- tribute liberally of their pay for election ex- penses. But they did not complain much of these sssesements, for Uncle Sam was a liberal paymaster, a considerate employer, and one wro not scrutinize their work too closely or require too much of them; in fact, he was considerately oblivious of the fact that they 5 HAD mg;crxsquzx; ARRERS, S and consequent abscnces, and permi eir pay, o g0 on all the same. Federal oflice- holders were our principal stump-speakers, and have been wont to travel the country over in ex- dfln!"pollflgl limue:é elc:}.lo;taffll:gfl!u:’ l" tl\g party,” to the entire Jcglect of r allege nifid‘;! dutles. Mr, Corncll, the Surveyor of the Port, is to-day the Chairman of the State Com- ‘mittec, while ncarly one-half of the members of that Committee are Federal officers. Ward ions are kept alive by officcholding politicians, who obtain their offices llmgly this empio Rot these _were because they are politicians. All is o be chaiged. Mr. Cornell must retire .from the State Com- ‘mittes or from the Surveyor's office. As the office and the Commitee does not, there is little doubt as to which he will zive up. Then there must follow otber resignations from the Committee. and a general reorganization of that body ensue. Collector Arthur must no longer intercst himself in_runung conventions, and Naval Officer Gen. Sharpe must abandon ~ wire-puliing and the stump.. At the same time, -po Jongrer will the sonorous voice of Appraizer Dutcher be heard at ratification-meetings, or his rotund “pod,” as Judge Hilton apdominsl protuberance, be exhibited in po- litical conventions; Postmaster- James must abstain from log-rolling bereafter, and see that none of his clerks or carriers indulge in the lm? of addressing their ward cau- cuscs. All Federal interference in the poli- tics of dmfh coun! il{e utrmbc mjml at once, an e publican y per- mitted to run jtsell or expire for want of official ing. All this is good pews to the better class of citizens, who have been sys- tematically bulldozed by the Custom-Hoase Ring " for ye till they bave ceased to take intereft in polif r, at least, ceased "hoping to have any influence in the preliminary cau- cus and primary, 80 essentially necessary to securing Sfficers. The effect of this pro- ‘hibitory order upon the party will PEOBALLY BE INJURIOUS AT FIRST, - for it must be admitted that the officcholders have been zealous workers and liberal contrib- uters in bebialf of the party. It willtako some, time for ofhers to become familiar witn the ‘various o} izations throughout the city, with the mcu ;;&-n be trm‘;,t:d u‘:nd vu'l‘l those who cannot to organl e work n to be done in political campaigns. Jtisa el known fact that the active political workers are {lic 1men who expect that the party will reward them for their efforts, Now that this incentive is removed, it is o serions question who is to do the necessary work in the coming campaigns. As near a8 I 'can judge from present data, the newepapers will be cxpected to carry the brunt of the cunpaigos. These poorly-pald, political- Is-ignored, and generally derided organs of pub- He opinion will be expected to instruct the peo- le gratuitously upon the Xamlefl issues of the &y and to work night and day for the success of the party and the men who ‘most _studiously igmore them. Republican editors, who are so from principle, will be expected to turn their journals into campaign documents, and su ply ihem gratultously 16 the méllions Who are fam- ishing for political enlizhtenment. At least this 38 what the politicians will expect of their party-papers, but I imagive the geaeral public will expect to sce the newspapers, as well as the cancuses, emancipated from officeholders’ dic- tation. When tlis is done, and the papers arc uninfluenced either for or against the holders of office, or their manipulations, the Republican party will receive from them a more intelligent and wholesome support. It is well known bere that one of our great dailies re- ceives its mepiration from the Custom-House and the Post-Office, while another, claiinir= to be Republican, bas attacked the party vioi. ‘ly solely because certain promincut of iccholders were personally offensive to the proprietors of ihat journal. This policy of NON-INTERFEKENCE IN POLITICS Ly officeholders is, 08 everv onc must admit, correct in the abstract. How it will work in practice is another thinz. The opposite policy lias been in force so many years that the public in general has lost its interest in the details and minutiz of political management. The Democracy, on the contrary, “Which cou- trols all the city patronage, bas’ strength- eoed and built ~ up its orgenlzation by the vesy means qwhich Republicans are henceforth to lguore. Its wmost successful manipulators of the party machine are those who seceive the highest honors at the hands of the party. “Boss” Tweed was the best or- ganizer the party cver had and offlce after office $ras siven him a8 rewards for his services, In ad- dition to which he was permitted to steal all he wanted to without let or hindrance. Al that as required of lim was to divide his plunder, stuff the ballot-boxcs, and sce that the Demo- cratic candidutes were counted in. His offenses and lis crimes were well knowa to his party as- sociates lonihdofe he was publicly branded as a thict, but lie was too valuable to the party to be exposed or permitted to retire. Boes Kelly Das now usurped bis place as 3 leader of Taim- many Hail, and js Yemarksble chictly for Lis powers of ormanBation. He has the party Ihachivery entirely in Yis grasp, aud official uppets, from the Governor down to the City- all janitor, dance 25 be pulls the string., The party has made him all-powerful ; having' conti- dence in bis ability as a parcy-leader to secure for them 2he lion’s share of TOE LOAVES AND FISUES, the Democracy have given him the reins’.and permit him to drive as he g,l;scs. As a conse- quence, the party has not 50 strong or 50 well o since the days of Tweed as it now is. It was equal o the” defcav of the Re- publicans at the loét election; and what they will do now, under the new order of things, 1t is impossible to say. By surrendering their in- Qividuslity inta the keeping of John Kelly, the Demovrats have gained party streogih justat the tifle when Republicans are recoveriug their individuality and their manhoed thropgh the decisive action taken by the President. But Republicans pever surrendered so, com- pletcly as did their opponents, which fact has 1as led to dissensions in the rinks, and to much denunciation of those officebolders who ciaim- ed the right, biy virtue of their.officgs, t6 * run the machine.”” Tnere were found in the ranks strong party men, who cold not be bought ewith an office, and who belivved in keeping the party free from ali trading and all jobbery. They bave fought a good fight on many 2 blocdy field with their own party associates, which has contributed largely to ¥eagening of Republican jufluence in the «ty. But, now that’officehold- ers are to he tabooed in politics in future, there is a possibility that the better class of Kepub- MeansWill come'to she front, and become more active than they have heretofore been. Already is the 'REORGANIZATION OF TIE STATE COMMITTEE roposed, and such meu as Jackson S. Shultz, Elldge Faucher, L. P. Morton, Marshulli O. Robortse H. G. Stebbins, and others of equal etanding and intellizence, are requested to take places on the Committee, aud enter upon the work oi-reorganizing the party in the city. Something of tiis kind will neressarily be dong before auother election, and, if the cluss of men named come to the front, the party will proin largely by the new order of thiugs. For these are men who do not want office, who have no selfish intercst in being Republicans, but are such from conviction. WIith euch men'in the fore front of battle, Republicavs swould be droused from thei thy, and would, no doubt, come out and participate in the primary weet~ ings, and scethat the best men were nominated. Some of the ufficoholders, Who never did fancy. politics, and who were disgusted with the kind of work they have had to do, are rejoiced over the new order, but. 26 & rule, they are_disgust- ed withit. They bave no clain to office “save that they are politiians, and are terribly alarined fest they speedily find their occupation gone. + CARROLL. EUROPEAN GOSSIP. LADY GODIVA. London Correspondence New York Times. Onee in seven years the ancient City ‘of Cow cntry wukes up to the memory of “Lady Godi- va,” and celebrates the Saxon legend. The ceptennial anniverbury tuok place on Monday. It was expected that the demonstrations would be only a very poor affair, promoted by the local Thotel-keepers and trudespeople, bt the event developed into a brilliant pageant, and has given much satisfaction. The story of Lady Godiva isd,est and most widely known of all the ‘Warwickshire legends. Who has not ‘Waited for the train at Coventry, And watched the threc tall spires? and thought of the tyrannical Earl who over- taxed the people, avd of the gentle wife to ‘whom the womea and children made appeal, “+1f we pay this tax we starve?

My friend, Mr. Burgess, a well-known local journalist, has been at some trouble just re- cently to cxamine the evidence upon which the trutly of the story rests, and he declares it to be untrue. There was, he says, a Lady Godiva, historically remowned for her piety, her beauty, and her charity. She was the daughter of Thorold, Sheriff of Lincoln- shire, the founder of the Abbey of Spalding, Her husband Leofric, Earl of Mcreia, had a seat at Coveutry. He and his wife were liberal ben- efactors to_ the ecclesiastical foundations of Worcester, Coventry, Evesham, Chester, Leomin- ster, Wenlock, undSww—ln-Llndscz. Leofric died ‘Aug. 31, 1057, but_Godiva, his Conntess, lived for many years afterward. A niece and grand- daughter of Lady Godiva intermarried with the. Norman Earl of Chester, from whom the pres- ent Grosvenor iamily clain descent. 3r. Bur- gess does pot find, in connection with the en- dowments and residence at Coventry, any men- tion of the incident which has made the name of Lady Godivacelebrated. The legend is given at_length in Brompton, page 839; n hion, 9,334; and in Roger of Wendover i. 407. -1t was not beard of or mentioned by any known wnter rior to the end of the fourtcenth century. dward Ifl. had the town fortified witn gates and towers and’ cmbaitled walls, afdd the taxes wore heavy. After the death of the Black Prince, who bad a castlc close by, the historian first finds the statement that Cov- entry “is to be tolifrce.” That Leofric gave the city meny privileges there s little doubt; but, says the student of parchmentsand ympers; .“the ride of Godiva is purely :pod:rgu ‘The incident is, however, set forth with circum- stantiality in Duirdale, one of the snost notable sources Of historv, and there was an. ancient window in Trinity Church, fet up in the days of Richard IL, commemorative of the event, which Leofric is holding a scroll bearing the ‘words: 1, Leofric, for Joye of the Do make Coventry tol {: “Pecping Tom * is not mentioned in the Dug- dale version of the story.

It was at tho New-Year ball of *53 that as the company were passing to the supper-room AMle. de Montijo and Mme. Fortoul, wife of the Minister of Public Instruction, reached one of the doors together. Mme. Fortoul, mastered by that jealousy of the fortunate lady which was general at Court, rudely rebuked Mlle. de Montijo for attemptinz to take precedence of ber. The yn;&g lady drew aside with great dignity before this affront, and whenshe entered the supper-room the pallor and trouble in her face at once attracted the botice of the Emperor as she took ler place at his Majesty’s table. In great anxiety he rose and passed behind her Chiair to ask what bad happened. * What is the matter? Pray, tell me.” The marked and sym- patlictic attention of the Emperor drew all eves upon the lady, who became covered with con- fusion. ‘I implore vou, sire, to lcave me,” she answered; * everybody ulwifing at us.” Trou- bled and’ perplexed, the Emperor took the car- liest opportunity of renewing his fnquiry. *I fosist upon knowing, What is it?" ¢ It is tais, sire,” the lndy now answered haughtily, the blood mantling her cheek; 1 have been insulted to-night, and T will ‘not expose uysell ton second insult.” To-mor- row,” sald_the Emperor, in alow, kind voice, “nobody will dare to insult you agsin.” Re- turned home, Mme. de Montijo and her daugh- ter, thelr Spanish blood thoroughly roused, made hasty preparations to leave Paris for Italy. On the_morrow morning, however, the mother received a letter from the Emperor, in-which he formally asked the hand of Mile. Eugenie de Montijo in marriage; and the ladies within a few days removed from their apartmonts to the Elyseg, which was assigned to_the Emperor's betrothed. Within a month Mlle. de Moutijo sat on the throne of the Tuileries beside Na- poleon IIL AN ELOPEMENT SPOILED. London Truth. Whitsuntide has not beon without its romance this year within the charmed circles of sociely. The story of an elopement, which was brought about by onc of the *partles™ concerned ina very ingenious sort of way,is being told. A young lady by no means unkuown in the world of fashion, and cngaged to be married to o gon- tleman of the long robe, accompanied her pa- . rents to stay at their home in the Midland countics during the Whitsuntide recess. [Tho gallant barrister ran down from town, tov, afcer his inamorata. During his stay an invita tion arrived, asking the young lady on a visit to some relatives living about fifty.miles on the other side of London. A note acceptiog the invitation, and arranging the very day and train, was penncd, and apparently’ dis- tehed; but the wily man of law way- Pn;;d the lester, substituting another wrft- teu in good imitation of the hand of his Iadye lové, which, with many regrets, declined the proposed visit. Trusting to bis Knowlcdfiu of vj‘xe ady’s relatives, that no answer would be sent to the apparent retusal, the culprit wont back to town the following day. Two days after, the fair fiancec also came up, en route for Ter relatives’ place, and Innocently expecting, as arranged in her note, to find the “fond uncle standing, bovine-faced and cager, on the Euston platform, ready to chaperone his charming nicee from oue London station to another, and eoon to her destination. But imagine hor astonish- went! No uncle; only Master Barrister, some- what sbeepish of aspect, and with a lame tale about waiting for uncle at some rendczvous whore the latter intended to call. The upshot of the adventure, however, was, that a3 evening wore on without dear uncle pujting in_an apy pearance at the rendezvous, Master Barrister Confessed his stratagem.. Ultimately, it is be- lieved, the deceiver prevalled upon the indignant damsel to consent to its being wade into a real clopement by marrying him some few days later. She stayed at the hotel; he at his chambers—that is ascertained. - Some. say that she was furthermore induced ‘to write a dis- | sembling letter hogie the very next morning in- forming ber parents that her hosts had come suddenly np to town for 2 féw days, and that she was staying with thein, and thus preventing any letters arriving for her at her uncle’s in the South—that, however, is not ascertained. The Tesult, nevertheless, of the escapade was' this: The clerzyman, to whotn application was made by Master Barrister for a_license, demurred at tiié young lady befng under age, which fact'a knowledze of the penalties of the laws sgainst perjury had doubtless caused the learned knight to disclose. A delay was politely sug- ated by the purson, certuin awkward fauiries wiedge of what followed is distprted in a terrific and kaleidoscople jum- ble, in which a deeply injurcd parent, a horee- whip, and a barrister’s chambers are eclipsed by the une prominent figure of a man with his hair rubbed all ways and & coat ripped down the VIC AND HER DAUGHTER-IN-LAW. London Correspondence New York Tisner.

Her Majesty, by the way, bed ome little difference with her imperial daughter-in-law, the Duchess of Edinburg. The Ruesian Priucess, when visiting the Queen, ap- eared at breakfast in a dressing gown. The ucon construed this_careless attire into 8 waot of respect for the lady of the castle, and spoke to the Duchess upon the subject with 2 mother- fndawish promptitude. Her Msajesty dresses for bréakfast, and her daughters have always been accustomed to appear at that meal in be- coming sttire. As a rule, English women dross more prettily for breakfast than for sny other meal. The Duchess accepted the Qucen's re- buke with becoming grace, and, as 1 have said before, her Majesty conceived s real love for the Russian Princess. LADY GODIVA AT COVENTRY. . Manchewter Examiner, Junes. |, Coventry yesterday, after an interval of scven vears, again celebrated the legendary achieve- ments of the herofc Lady Godiva, whose noble self-devotion bas given bera lasting fame. The procession, which started from St. Mary’s Hall at midday, cmbraced the City Guard in the ancient corporation armor, representatives of the different friendly socleties, and various le- Fcndnr" and historic personages. Amongst the atter were St. Geore, Robiu Hoed, Mald Mari- an, Friar Tuck, and the Black Prince; who was singularly partial to Coventry as a place of resi- dence, and Earl Leofric, whose strange caprice exacted from his _wife the act which was just commemorated. The Lady Godiva was person- ated by a young equestrienne from Astley’s Amphitheatre. e was attired in & manyer that could hardly bave given offense. She wore a bodice and skirt of white silk, a white lnce veil, and the traditional golden hair ascribed to Lady Godiva. She was loudly applauded. The per- ambulation of the diffcrent streetsoccupied un- til nearly 4 o’clock, and then the influx of visitors had hardly ceased, in spite of he exer- tions of the different raflway companies toaflord the requisite accommodation. . A HANDSOME DUCHESS. The Don Carlos ball in Paris, given by Mme. Pozzo, & Legitimist lady, was something of a sensation. There wereno cards, but the invita- tions were verbal, in order to avoid .the embar- rassment of trying to express i set words that 1t was In honor of the Duke de Madrid, Who is familiarly kuow in Paris as Charles VIL of Spain. They say that in the Legitimist circles there was a deal of unfriendly criticiem of the marked distinction paid, just at this juncture in French politics, to the Spanish pretender. But the disapproval was not so serious but that they all went, and it was a gay ball. Don Carlos made a fine figure. waltzing with the young Dauchess de Chaulnes, who is by common consent the handsomest woman in France. She is so 1all that beside her partner, who is a good six fect high, the difference in height was not strik- Ing, but she sco clerantly proportioned that her stature does not detract from her beauty. * Her complexion is of the most: u‘“‘mw pearly white, now and then faintly lighted up bya pale rose blush; her large eyes are of the dark- est hazel, and a fine, broad, open brow is crowned by sach @ mass of pale gold chestnut . .as the ruler of France' in Louis hair a8 never was'se2n on a human head, unless® -on that of the Emcrcgs Etizabeth of Austria. The Duchess de Chaalnes is not as Iovely as the Empress, because probably no other born woman ever was or will .be.” The Duchess is the daughter of the: exiled Russian Prince Galitzin, and dowerless, while her husband, the Duke de Uhlulncsd;; the last representative of the family of the Constable de Luynes, famous il' [11.'s time: and there was a deal of opposition to the mar- riage on the part of his mother. That ylelded to Church influence, but the fair young duchess is the object of ‘much spitc and envy among ortioned young women who hoped 1o buy the I uke, one of the great ** catches? in Paris socie- THE CZAR AND HIS BROTHER. London Ezaminer. ‘Two stories that are told by Leouzon le Duc of the Czar of Russia snd of his brother Con- stantine in their early yonth, are fnteresting es showing the strict impartiality in which they were brought up. Constantine, who beld at 14 years of age the post ' of Grand Admiral, but who re- mained under the guidance of Admiral Lutke, promoted a suilor against the wishes of -Lutke, who declined to sauction the promotion. Con- stantine appealed to his father, who supported ‘Lutke, much to the wrath of the young Admiral, who expressed his indigngtion at befng Grand- Admiral of the Empire while yet unable to pro- mote a suilor, and instantly offered his resigna- tion. **L aceept it,” replied Nicholas, **You bave never had_anything but the name of your post, and I will never pernut you to bear it until you have learncd the principal quality of 2 chief—that of properly knowing and ;udmng the men who are under yonr command.” The story with regard to the present Czaris very much the same. Also at 14 years of age be Was an officer in the zuard, and on one occa- sion, in Folng through the palace, bo passcd Lallin yhich were scveral persons of high mili- tary rahk, who saluted the young Prince as he passed. This mark of respect greatly pleased ihe young man, and he passed and repassed the” hull'several times fn ths hope of again recciving it; but the Generals took mo more notice of him. Annoyed at this, Alexander went to com- K}nln to Nicholas, who, instcad of consoling im, severely reprimanded him for his vanity, and'at once deprived him of the rank he held unt!l he sbould prove himselt capablo of endur- ing it honorably. DOMFPEDRO AND VICTOR HUGO. Messagea Franco-Americun. ‘The following is a new ancedote about the Emperor of Brazil: . He recently paid a visit to Vietor Ilugo. -After & long ipwn‘lcfi‘ in which the two celob- ritles conversed npon divers topics, the Emperor asked permission of the poet to repeat his visit, requesting him to fix a day. * I receive m friends every day,” said Hugo, politely, *au we have dinner ut 8 o'clock.!” After the lapse of some days, one evening at about half-past 7 o’clock, the door-bell of the poct’s housc was rung, and a gentleman in dress coat aod white cravat presentcd himself. » Whom shall I announce?” sald the ecrvant, “Dom Pedro de Braganza,” replied the visitor. As yet there was_nobody in the parlor. The host was informed of the arrival. “1 have come to dine with yon,” sald tho Emperor in democratic style. . Soon the guests sat down to table. The repast was charming. Dom Pedro gaye some very cu- rious traveling impressions. Victor Hugo, for his part, spoke with that simplicity so ng]fll of warmth, of which those who have ot the honor of being intimate with him have no idea. When the Emperor took leaye of his host,—it was rather late,—the Jatter said to him, smiling with his fine and arch smile, * Sire, I could not pos- sibly tell you how happy 1 am that we have no sovercigns like you in Europe.” ¢ And why said Dom Pedro. * Because,”” replied Victor Tlugo, * both mysclf and my friends would be very much puzzied to find anything bud to say of them.” Dom Pedro burst out laughing, and took leave of his triend 1ike a good-natured and sensible man. THOE OLD LADY OF BATIL Mayfalr. 2 The refusal of the Prince @ Wales to attend the Centenary show of the British and West of England Agricultural Association reminds me of u story told in Bath, which is, I believe, literary truo. Some years ago his Royal Hizh- nessaeceived a siinilar fuvitation. There wasat the time an old lady resident in the city who wuo in the habit of taking a dafly constitutional in Victoria Park, in the company of a fat poodle which she had attached ” to hor girdle by a piece of ribbon. The couple, by reason of the comic- ality and regularity of their appearanee, became o standing butt Tor small wits, an zttention which the: old 1ady—rather on account of the poodle than of hersel{—warmly resented. When she heard that the Prince of Wales had been invited to thi‘ and that there was some expectation of his accepting the insvitation she gat. down snd wrote a letter to his Royal Ilighness, detsiliog the persecutions to which she and her poodle'were subjected, and earnest- ly warning his Royal Highness that if he visited a _city capable of such'bebavior thers was no telling what misht happen to him. I do not know what share In the decisfon of his Royal Higlimess the receipt of this lettersad, but it is certain that by an-earl; Mayor of Bath received pcommunication an- nouncing that the Prince of Wales wonld not be able to visit Batb. The old lady who, with her- poodle, lives to_this day, bas a strong opinion on the pofat, and does tiot miss an opportunity - of informing her friends and neighbors that she and her poodle had been more ceremonious- Iy treated, Bath.might have been honored by a Royal visit. A PASHA WITH A BROGUB. London Ezaminer. The following ancedote is in its matn fact per- fectly genuine: During the late war between Servia and Turkey it 80 happened that some of the lady-nurses and their stafl, as well assome soecial dorrespondents and medical men, fell somehow within the jurisdiction of a Turkish Pasba. They were naturally anxious to explain to this dignitary that they were non-combatants and entitled to protection. They deputed a very well-known special correspondent,with a person who professed tobea Turkish interpreter, to wait, upon the Pasha to make explanations. The cor- respondent found himself vot wl\all{ without emotion in the awful presence of the Pasha. The-interpreter tried to begin the explanation, but very soon stammered in_his Turkish, and . seemed unable to get on. - The correspondent tried to come to his aspistance, but being much weaker in nis Tarkish than even the interpreter, was unable to get beyond a few words, and soon broke down completely. ‘The Pasha made a sign as if tointerrupt them, and the correspondent waited in almost as much excitement as M. .Jourdain in presence of the son of the Grand Turk. Then the Pasha said, AN, then, you can spake to me in English. 1 was born in the benutiful City of Cork.” La lLungue Turqueest comma cela ! THE PRINCESS BEATRICE. New York Times' Loridon Correspondence. As for the Priucess Beatrice, whom her Maj- esty has continually with her, she is dressed like o poor relation and. Jooks ltke ome. The Queen takes her everywhere. The most excit- ing scenes of which this young Princess bas any, experience are pleasaut tea-partics and plebelan funernls. Her Majesty delights in the society of her Scotch dependants, sitting by their sick beds, atiending their funerals, comforting the old women, going to their churches and chap- ¢ls, and generally stepping down from her high position to enjov her penchant for sorrow wlgzh the humblest. It is yery good of hér, and ig Scotland she is worshiped. But it is rather hard on the Princess Beatrice, who has -always to keep hcr mother company on these sympa- thetic and uninteresting expeditions. She ought to be in society, looking her best.at royal recep- tions, riding iu the Row, seeing the woald. No young girl has cause to envy the Princess Bea- trice of England. —— AN INNOVATION.

Clearing-Tlouse returns still show a deciine in business, not mercly in comparison avith recent transactions, but even In comparison with tho exchanges of June, 1875, thus finding “in the lost depths a . deeper still.” For June usually brings, in nearly all the cities, the stagnation which calminates in Auguat; but Janc of Jast year was particularly dull, and the returns of last wezlk show still smaller transac- tions at soven ontof elevencities, Even at Boston & decline appears at last; at Baltimore it was remarkably large Inst week; and the gains at New York snd New Orleans, attribntabl to speculative operations in part, are no longer large, The only encouraging featucc is the stearly improvement at Pittsburg and Louisville. The exchanges for three weeka ening June 2 compare with those of the corresponding weeks last yoar as follows: s77. 10,878, 2,454,062 18,368, 158 $i Tt will be'secn that the exchanges atten nther cities beside New York have been only $432, 508, - 481, ogninst $457, 536,890 during the same wueks 1ast year. The gain at New York and at New Or- leans, though considerable, is due mainly to spec- ulative traneactions, and there is no evidenco of general improvement in other business, even in comparison with a very dull month lnst year. : GOLD AND GREENBACKS.

IHe ropgris that except between Wilmington and Dwight the corn ia looking very much bester thanat this® time last year, and much of it i in excellent condition. The rye, too, is in excellent trim. The leading produce markets were steadier Satur- day, with o fair business doing m most depart- ments. The markets wonld. probably have been weaker, at least In grain, but for the storm of Fri- day night, and the pecultar atmospheric conditions of the morning, which led many operators to ex- pect more rain. The advices from Liverpool and Now York were not favorable to strength, and our recelpts of oats were rathendarge for the season, while there was a pruspect thut the stocks of corn will show a material reduction when the next weekly statement is made. The stocks of wheat, all over, arc now worked dowa te a very low point. A fair order demand for domestic dry-goods ex- isted; and the market azain prescated & firm and steady tone. Graceries were quoted reasonably active, with the leading staple articles displaying greatfirmness, Rice wasstrongand ¢ higher. Sugars were moving on an increased scale, and had an unmistakable upward. tendency. A strong coffee market was also noted. Other lines com- paratively more steady. There was a lessened movement in butter and an easier market, though the weakness did not amount to & quotable decline, prices ranging from 9@20c, according to_quality. Cheess was dealt in very cautiously, the depressed conditfonof the sca-boatd market and the large supply both serving to check Lusiness. Good to ‘best full cream cheere were quoted at 7@Se, and skims at 3@5c. In the fish market 2 fair business was in progress at unchanged ‘quotations, though there was n firmer feeling; for whiteish, owing to light offerinzs. Dricd fruits were unchanged. No: {mprovement in the demand for leather was gp- parent, end previous quotations continue to be shaged. Coal and wood were dull. Oils, paints, and colors remained quict and upchanzed.

The offeringy of cargoes were small, and the in- quiry timlted except for piece stuff, which sold: readily, The yard market was steady and moder-' ately active. Woolcontinues In good demand and firm. ‘The broom-corn market was quiet but firm, the offerings being in few hands, and reports were received that the growing crop was considerably injared by the recent storms. Seeds were guiet excopt buckwhent, which met with a fair inquiry at botter prices. The ollerings af potatoed were large, and prices declined early to $3.00@4.00 per orl for new stosk.
