The Brietol, of the Great Western Line, left Bristol, Engtand, Oct. @, and is consequently twenty days out, and a ~A®eek overdue. The agent of the Company says ¢ is not apprehensive .that any disaster bas be- fallen the vessel, her voyages often covering eighteen and nineteen days. There were but few passengers on board, and not more than halt her carrying capacity was taken up with freight. Her cargo was composed mostly of block-tin and chemicals, together with a. stock of woolens and tailors’ goods. The Bristol was built four years ajo at Stockton, En- gland, and is an iron, barkentine-rigged steamer of some 2,109 tons burden, and classed as Al by the British Lloyds. "The steamer Gloucester, of the same line, left Bristol one week later than ; ‘HE OVERDUE VESSEL, smd has not yet been heard from. She has been fifteen days out.

Bowe, Nov. 20.—The Vatican organ, the Aurora, denies the statement that the Irish Bishops are pursuing a policy displeasing to the Pope, and jays: “Neither the Pope nor the Bishops have ever thought of preventing the people from aiming at the legitimate satisfaction of their needs, provided they do notdeviate from justice and rectitude in their choice of means. Re- Dellion, incendiarism, destruction of property, and homicide are clearly not among the means ‘that can be countenanced.” TURKEY. SURROUNDED BY ALBANIANS.

AQUATIC, THE INTERNATIONAL REGATTA. Lonpox, Nov. 20.—Luaycock, the Australian, won the final heat in the international regatta to-day, carrying off the first prize, £300; Ross was second, winning £300, and Hosmer third, winning £160,and Smith fourth, winning £410. Ress fouled Laycock above Chiswick Eyot. Luycock then touk the lead. He not only won ou the foul, but won the race handsomely by seven lengths, in 28 minutes and 43 seconds. Hosmer was a good third. Rose got the best of the start, but was almost. immediately passed by Smith, who, however, re- tained his advantuge only for a very short dis- tance. Hoss again passed him, and apparently leading easily. Before Hammersmith bridge was reached Luycock and Hosmer had both passed Smith. who passed the bridge six lengths in the rear of the others, who were at that time abot ori a level, Ross, if anything, having the advantage. At the Doves Ross quickened his pace and gained about a length from Hosmer, who was also spurting, and left Laycock balf a length behind. After passing tho corner, Lay- cuck drew up and overhauled Hosmer and Ross. Itwas'a magniticenf race to tho Eyot, above which a foul oceurred. Luycock passed Barnes’ bridge three lengths in front of the others. The attendance was large. The water was quite stfll. Laycock’s victory, which is en- thusinstically received, is attributed to bis su- perlor condition. Ross beld up bis band to clam foul, and after- wards seemed only to try for second pluce. He claimed the race on an‘alleged foul, but the uunpire refused to allow the claim. A CHALLENGE. It is sala Laycock bas challenged Hanlan. GREAT BRITAIN. RITUALISTS TO BE IMPRISONED.

Living as the Garfields have bad to jive, in the most economical way, doing without elegant clothes, fine furniture, sumptuous food, mood. new, and rare old books, dearer than ail else to them, they have coatributed more to make Washington winter life pleasant and profitable than many other fumilics who have supplemented less taste and culture with more mooey. Mrs. Garticld’s receptions have been the largest ever held by the wife of a inere Representative. They have far surpassed those of more ambitious Senators’ wives, and have approximuted those of the ladies of the Supreme Court and Cabinet families, in size merely. In attractions they have — stood nbreust of any of them. This simply because Mrs, Garfield is a sweet-tempered, cultured, refined woman, in whose smile it isa pleasure to bask. When we consider that, without allowing ber manifold cares to interfere ‘with the performance of her social duties, she dns managed her establishment alone, and per- sonally conducted the training of her boys for college, we can conceive her superiority, with ull her social success, to the mere ‘society lender.” Gen. Garfieid is the President of our Literary Society, and during the pust year it hus met at bis house. It wus more’ pleasnnt- ly entertained there than it had ever been be- fore. Mrs, Guartield exerted even her latent social powers that night, and it was difticult for her gueststo break away from her delightful parlors. The latter. entre nous, were and are furnisbed in the style of Noah. That mukes 00 difference, of course, although the con- trast betweenthem and’ those which some of the guests had left at home was marked. There was something really pathetic to ne in’ the in- formation telegraphed from Cleveland that Gen. and Mrs. Gartield were purchasing furniture and a sealskin sacque. However, they can af- ford to gratify toeir taste for four yeurs now, and forget the pinched pust. What we here re- joice in is that, when Mrs. Hayes steps out and Mrs. Garfield steps into the White House on the 4th of March next, there will be no abrupt turn- tng in the course of the Presidential, or rather the Mrs. Presidential, social customs and decrees. Whether the diplomat corps bas its deli- cute palute tickted with lemonade and water at State dinners or not, we may bo sure that whisky and the White House, divorced four years ago, will not be reunited in uaholy bonds during Mr. Gartield’s Administration. It is needless to say that Mrs. Hayes will be missed. She will be missed by mavy of whom the world knows notb- ing, wants to know nothing—the naked, hun- gry, sick, and in prison, unto whose wants she bus’ ministered ‘all so silently ;’ but regret will not be so poignant as it would be were she to be succeeded by un inferior woman.” $$ A Hanter’s Exciting Struggle with a Wounded Buck—Saved by His Daughter.

They Are Driven into Union in Order to Checkmate Jay Gould. Freight Shipments for the Week—The Western War Nearing an End. COMBINED AGAINST GOULD. The success which bas thus far attended Jay Gould's railroad operations, and the boldness with which he makes combinations and consoi- idations in order to crush out ail opposition and make himself the railroxd dictator of the coun- try, seems at last to have awakened rival mag- nutes to the diner that threatens them if they allow hi to continue to carry on his schemes without opposition. All the railroud interests opposed to Gould, it is understood, have now combined to uct unitedly against furtner encroachments by the bold specutator, and to put nn end to his Ambi- tious scheme of dictating. the policy of all the ronds in the country. A dispateh received from Boston last evening states that a mceting was held in that city which was purticipated in by W. H. Vunderbilt, President of the New York Central, Lake Shore & Michigan Southern, and Michigan Central; T, Jefferson Coolidge, Presi- dent of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fé: and J. M. Forbes, President of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy, at which it was resolved to unite their various interests, und make common cause aguinst Gould's railroad combinations. This is & most powerful combination, and onc that is uble to xive Gould trouble. The new Vanderbilt and Boston combivation controls far more weulth than Gould und = his syndicnte, and will be fully abie to checkmate his attempts for further power and aggrandizement. The prineipal cause which bus ac lst resulted in the combination of these powerful interests to make - common ciuse against Gould seems to have been the intest scheme of Gould for consolidat- img the Union, Central, and Southern Pucille Railroads, It was feared tuat this latest scheme of Gould was to prevent rival lines from yain- ing 2 proper foothold west of the Missouri iver. i which control the Bur- imyton und Atchison, Topeku & Santa Pé-Rail- roxds have struggled with Gould for a partici- pation in the business from that sec- Yon of the country, und have suececded mm keeping bim thus far within certain By their bold operations in extending @ Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fé to. the Pacitic and into Mexico they Virtually brought Gould to buy, and, if the Central Pycitic had remained in- dependent, they would bave been able after Jan. I. when the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fé and the Southern Pacitic Rouds fori a junction at Florida Point, Arizona, to sbure with Gould the Pacific business. But the contemplated consolidation of the Union and Central Pecitic interests aguin threatens to make Gould master of the situation, and deprive the Atchison, To- peka & Santa Fé of the resuit of its junetion with the Suuthern Pacitic until the Atlantic & Pacific extension of the Santa Fé has been completed, which cannot be accomplished in less thno two years, and by that time Gould's power in California may bave grown to such an extent as to enable him to prevent the couple- tion of that roud through California to San Francisco. Besides, the step ‘lately taken by Gould to build tines to Mexico in opposition to thase already commenced by the Bustun_ people furnished conclusive evidence that be meunt to drive them from the field or push them to tha wall, 30 thathe might gobble up their interests also, and thus become sole dictator of the en- tire raitroud system west of the Mississipp! Rive TT limits, inorder to make & success so wily and powerful an’ adversary and to stop him from carrying out his scheme. they needed the assistance of such men as Vander- bilt, whose wealth added to theirs would be more thun suilicieut to successfully checkmate Gould atevery point, Vanderbilt seems to bave be- come very jealous of Gould, and he {s, it {3 be- lieved, determined to dv all in bis power to as- sist in'ending bis career as the great American railroad dictator. As long a3 Gould confined bis munipulations to the Western country Vander- bilt did not seem to care much, but Gould has become quite aggressive In tho also. The extension ot the Wabush to Detroit, and thence vin the Great Western to Buffalo, where it can make counection with the Erie, has struck Vanderbilt in a sore sport. His Lake Shore Road is now gettmg the bulk of the Wabash business at Toledo, and the threatened diversion of thang business ‘hus made him feel bitter towards Gould, The building of the Toledo & Northorn Indiana, an extension of the Lake Shore, seems to bave been decided upon for the purpose of checkmating the new Detroit tine of the Wubash. Besides, Gould is mak ng strenuous efforts to secure control of the Erie, and Vanderbilt is doing his utmost to prevent it. For these reasons and others he could no longer remain idle and allow Gould to consummuto scheme after scheme without hindrance, and therefore wns only too willing to make common cause with the Boston people. EAST-BOUND FREIGHTSHIPMENTS. The east-bound freight movement during the past week continued very heavy, and the state- ment for the week ending Nov. 2 shows a still further increase in shipmefits, though not 2s Jarge a3 was anticipated. For the week end- ing Nov. 20 the shipments of flour, grain, and provisions by the six Eastern pool lines from this city amounted 45,9¢3 tons, ugninst 43,365 tons the week previous,—an increase of 2,595 tons. The reason that the increase was not targer is not beceuse business was not offered freely to the roads, but because the roads were not gble to take any more. Not only are most of the roads short of cars, but yrane. of the Eastern ones, and purticularly the New York Central and Baltimore & Ohio, are so blo d with freight as to greatly embarrass shipments from this point. There were months last winter when the roads running east from this city car- ried about ,twice the amount of freight they do at present. But they are unable to work to their full capacity now because 4 mu jority of their curs are being used by the New York trunk lines, as they are not only required totuke the business from their Western con- nections, but also that coming to Eastern ktke ports by steamers und véssels. The Inky busi- hess, however, will come to a close vy the ond of this week, the early setling in of extremely cold wenther baviuy bad tho effect. of driving vessels into winter quarters two waeks earlier than would otherwise have been the case. The trunk lines will therefore soon be able to devote their entire attention to their Western rail connections, and bundie freight more promptly than they do now. Besides, the freight movement is unusually heavy Just now, Veexuse shippers are anxious to get forward all tae freight they can before the advance in rates goes into effect. which event occurs on the 2d of this month, After that date itis believed that the pressure upon the cupacity of the ronds will diminish, and that they will then be able to bandle all the freight that offers. Should the present rush of business continue, however, the-shippers may confidently expect another advenoe in exst- bound freight rates in less than a fortnight. The following statement shows the amount of flour, grain, and provisions carried by the va- rious roads leading east from this city for the week ending Nov. 2), 1880: Grain, | Prov's, Plour,|tans of tons of ris. |2000 Us, | 200th.

It will proceed on the ground that gross injustice bas been done them as stockholders; that the Louisville & Nashville is nssuming au- thority over it not contemplated by the charter; that, in fact, it bas no right to run the Nashville, Chattanooga & St. Louis Railway under the charter. They will claim that under the charter, their stock bemp divided up. and the Louisville & Nashville being one corporation, claiming to own 134,00) shires, they bud the right to control the road. ‘They believe that running the roud by foreign corporation endangers their charter, thut the State may take it nway, and that the road ought to be run under and according to the churters u3 separate und independent company, compet ing with all other roads for business; that they are entiticd to have itso run, and maintain it as competitor of the Louisville & Nashville. and pot a mere helper of this rond, us they allege it now is. They mean to make u determined effort to be restored to their rights, with the property as it was at the time partot the Di- reciors turned it over to the Loulsville & Nusb- ville, and that then contemplated the carrying: out of the Cules scheme of 4 through line from ‘St. Louis to the Southeastern seaboard. .

A BIG COMBINATION. Bosron, Nov. 20.—The financial article of the Transcript to-day says it has authority for say- ing that at a meeting of tho ruilruad Presidents in New York, including Vanderbilt, Coolidge of the Atebisun, Topeka & Sunta Fé Koad, and Jobn M.

Sr. Lovts, Nov. 20.—A meeting of the stock- holders of the Wabash, St. Louis & Pacific Rail- way was held at the office of the Company this afternoon, at which various meusures and prop- ositions relating to leasing and building lines and issuing bonds already agreed upon by the Directors were ratified. Three hundred and iifty thousand out of £00,000 shares of stock were represented, ITEMS. ‘The Chicago Railroad Association, composed of the General Ticket and Passenger Agents of the various roads centering in this city, held their regular monthly meeting yesterday at their rooms in Ashland Block, but uo business except comparing and altering rate-sheets was transactea. The General Freight Agents of the Eastern Pool lines held a meeting yesterday at the office of Mr. R. C. Meldrum to consider the resignation of Cupt. Alexander Muckay us Secretary of the east-bound pool from this city. ‘Those present joined in a request that Mr. Mackuy should withdraw his resignation, as his services were too Valuuble tu be dispensed with. It was also agreed to give Sir. Muckay an increase of salary if be would continue to uct as Secretary of the pool. itis most probable that fn view of this Mattering testimonial Capt. Mackay will recon- sider his resiguation, and continue to perform the duties of the position. oe Cicero Conquers Kikero. Youth's Companion. ‘The question is settled. Boys need not say Kikero any more. ‘They muy henceforth say Cicero and Tucitus, just as their fathers and grandfathers eald them; and not only Cicero and ‘Tucitus, but all other Latin names and words in the old-fasbioned English tminuer, Until re- cently. each nation pronounced Latin very nearly as it pronounced its own language, and consequently a German. scholar could not un- derstand an Oxford or Harvard Professor when he spoke the languuge with which both of then were more familiur, perbaps, than with their mother tongue. ‘*Cancs modere possunt,” says Cicero. Let the Professor of Latin in Harvard University pronounce those three very famitinr words in the English manner, in the hearmy of a French, @ Spanish, a German, or an Italian seholur. and neither of them would be likely to cateh their meaning. Now, it is pretty well known how a Koman boy would have pronounced these words when he was learning to read in the year 1. The ancient Romans nodoubt pronounced Latin very much as the modern Komuns pronounce Italian. By collecting all the little indications contained in Romun pluys aud other productions, this has been almost demonstrated. Hence, an attempt wns made some years ago to induce the colleges and schools throughout Christendom to pro- nounce Latin—with some moditications—in the Ttalian manner. At the same time, it was rec- ommended to pronounce Greek very nearly as the Greeks now prononnre their language. Modern Greek is to uncient Greek about whut Italian isto Latin. This attempt, it_appenrs, has not been successful. Prof. M. M. Fisher, of she University of Missouri, wrote some time ago tu the Principals of the most important schouls inGrent Britain, asking how it bad fared with the experiment, All of them answered, Fuilure. ‘The muster of the Me:caant-Tuilors’ School, London, said: “found there was no general neceptance of the reformed method, and espe- clully ag {tseemed to meet with very little sup- port at the universittes, 1 weat back to the old- lashioned English pronunciation.” The master of Westminster School said: “We found the waste of time involved in correcting tmis- pronunciation to be fatal. It is hard enough to teach the various subjects required witbin the hours that are avaliable, und if the Latin hours are t») be spent In mere vocal exercises the lan- guage ean never be learned in the time, nor the authors studied.” The muster of Eton wrote: “"fnouh for 2 time it found some favor, [think ft is on the decline iu England. ©. . 1 be- lieve that, on the whole. the more thoughtful and liberal-minded men at Oxford, to speak of my own university, which I know best, are not ‘tuvorable to the gbandun:nent of our present system." Prof. Palmer, also, who was one of the original promoters of the reformn, admits that the old-fashioned system of pronouncing Lutin “still reigns unquestioned at the univer- sity,” as well as in the preparatory schools. He considers the enterprise a failure. Its failure in Engiand necessitates its failure here, since the leading object of the proposed change was to buve a uniformity of pronuocia- tion. Therefore, if an American scholur bas oc- cusion to say to a Spanish scholar that he enter- tains for him the highest consideration, he will have to employ some other medium of commu- nication than the langunge of Cicero. en The Chief Eunuch. wirendin Agha, cbief of the Imperial cote Who died recently nt Coustantinuple, 13 said to bave exercised for more than thirty yeurs unquestioned sway over bis Imperial inaster’sbarems, und to hive been dreaded and respected only next to the Grand Vizier.

Is This Fascinating Pastime Entitled to Consideration as One of the Exact Selences? — Three Eminent Savants Investigate the Subject, with Results Disastrous to Two of Them. Ever since Gen. Schenck’s admirable treatise brought it prominently Into notice. savants have been endeavoring to prove that draw-poker is justly entitled to consid- eration as one of the exact sciences, beauti- fully governed by strictest mathematical law, instead of bemg merely one of the eccentric and ruleless recreations incidentto American leisure. ‘Their efforts, however, seem to be attended by many complex difficulties. In a recent paper upon the ‘Correlation of Blind and Straddle,” Prof. Dana, the ewi- uent geologist, submitted to the Royal So- ciety the following, which he modestly claimed as his own discovery: Tn experimenting upon the effects of age upon diversely stratified hands before the draw, I found, when the senior hand consisted of one Azoic stratum of deuces, and’ one Paleozoic stratum of kings, with an intermediary and un- profitable sub-stratum of detritus composed of un odd club or s0,—that, first, the tendency to create an upher in the metallic deposit at stake, and thereby cause 2 second intlux of fos- sil ivory towards tho comnion centre, was great er than when said band was irregular in forma- tion; und that, second, said hand subsequently usunily segrated suid fossil accreuons, and gath- ered them about itself. Having been appointed a committee to in- vestigate the above, Profs. Huxley, Darwin, and Tyndall pursued their researches from 7:30 p. m.one Saturday until 11:15 a. m. Sunday. and Prof. Huxley, the Chairman, re- ported as follow: Your Committee, after arduous Jabor and greut expense, find that, while the Dana theory of Eievution’of Straddles, as coutained in bis paper, is correct in the premise, it is sometimes disustrously fallacious in the conclusion. One of the experiments tried by your Committee proved this, a3 follows: The senior hand, gov- erncd by myself, consisted before the. draw of one stratum of ensanguined jucks, one stratum: of suble queens, and one accidental but worth- less diamond,—almost as valuable a formation us that instanced by Prof. Dana. Tne sub-senior hand, engineered by Prof. ‘Tyndall, was nearly homogeneous with small spades, the utiful continuity being only bobtailed at one end by a healthy but inewicucious heart, The junior hand, under the manugement of Prof. Darwin, consisted before the draw, as he states, of one thin stratum of deuces, with three substrata of detritus.—nn eight, a four, and a six of assorted suits. Profs. Tyndali and Darwin baviny duly entered, 1 gencrously uplitted the “revenue to the extent of the limit, which in our case was £10. To this Prot. Tyndull readily acceded, Prof. Darwin demurred for several minutes, arranged and rearranged bis strata in an uncertain and, as we thought, nervous manner, but finally concluded bis med- itution and cuntributed quite a hundsome fossil collection townrds the general centre. Tome be then dealt one sub-stratum; to Prof. Darwin one; and to bimsel? taree. Applylug myself to the taxidermist’s art, [soon discovered that my formation of jacks had beeu wonderfully e riched, the triple strata of which even now, rest- ing upon my stratum of queens, quite tilled my hand. Prof. Tyndall thea, after examining bis newly-acquired stratum with evidences of sup- pressed emotion, advanced one fossil, to tue value of 22. Prof. Darwin took #2 panoramic view of his strata, and neatly covered that, and, tomy great delight, added a emaller fussil. to the yalue of 10 shillings. I promptly covered both deposits, and then proceeded to bulst Prof. Darwin to the extent of £10. Still further to my delight, Prof. Tyndall elevated me in like ratio. I naturally feared that now Prof. Darwin would retire. So did Prof. Tyndull, who bulf *regretted having put on so aggressive a front to his usually timid friend. But to our immense satisfaction, Prof. Darwin, ufter again reviewing bis strut ‘to see if they were all there, not only uimbly ascended Prot. Tyndall's elevation,but capped it, as befure, with lU'shillings. Rejoicing secretly in the wi dom of the Duna theory, but with an artful simulation of hesitation designed tu encourage my fellow investigators, 1 aguin climbed over both precipitous heaps to the extent of £10. ‘Then begat x contest which now cowes to me like a blurred and hideous dream. Prof. Tyndall leaped over me, Prof. Darwin hopped ov i and I turned somersets over Prof. Darwin, until nytonly was my entire fossil collection, my pocket-porttolio of engraved portraits of Gov- ernmentcelebrities.and cheques for half the sum of my accumulations in the East India Bank, heaped on tne pile, with Prof. ‘Tyndall's watch and eye-giasses and fine poluriscope and collac- buttons, together with his seul ring, a mortyy ow bis house, an order for seven tnonths’ ad- vance salary as Secretary of yuur bonorable body, and a transfer order for two-thirds of his registered consuls, but also drafts from Prof. Di in upon his publisher for the entire gross w3 of a new edition of the Descent of Man.” and a corrected revision of the “Origin of Species,” with a clear ceed of the copyright of a book now in preparation. I now naturally began to fenr lest my zeal should blight the future of two friends, especially that of Prof. Darwin, whose acquaintance with the selence under discussion was but limited: at best, and who, { felt quite certain, merety per- severed through a gentlemanly spirit of uc- commoda:ion. But as Prot. Tyndall continued his muscular exercise in boosting ny ventures, and us Prof. Darwin would each time mild- ly encourage him_ with a 10-shillimy prod, I still continued. Finally, when my overcoat, and Prof, ‘Tyndall's rubber guloshes, and Prof. Darwin's telescope bat, hud been udded to the heap on the extra table brought in to hold the Inereasing pile, the hands were called ali round, Prof. Darwin apologetically saying that he called simply becnuse be hud nothiug more to bet but ily sleeve-buttons, which were a birth- day pres from his wife. Upon the cali, I looked at Prof. Tyndall, Prof. Tyndatt looked at Prof. Darwin, und Prof. Darwin looked ut botn of us, ‘Prof. ‘Tyndall suid that he bud not fore- seen this,—that he bad been bounced higher than when he was on top of the Matterhorn, and bad forgot himself in bis excitement—thut he was 80 sorry he couldn’t think, but he had an ace flush. He then started to gather inand “unt up tho pot. [checked him, and with tears. iy eyes ‘confessed that I bad been very, very wrong, but that I bad really supposed Prof. Tyndall's strata were more near- Iv ike my own.—that I felt keenly for Prof. Darwin, who-bad been dragyed innocently into the destructive contest—that I would cheer- fusly return to bim his vi and comforter, und polka-dot handercbief, und telescope hat, and to Prof. Tyndall bis eye-zlasses, and xoloshes, and one collar-button, and beg both vot to mention it,—that f had been surprised at the tremendous developmental effect of the draw upon the germinal protuplasm of my band, and had been unnecessurlly deluded into ruising.—and that I wus wmost ashamed to say ft, as they were friends, but that I had three jacks and o polr of queens. I then burst into teurs, find begun to rake in” the | small change. in this I was assisted by Prof. Dur- win, who certainly displayed the utmost -stoi- cism throughout. At length, when the huge ile was sorted and the value roughly estimated, Pthought to console alm, and asked him what bo had. ‘The horror of both Prof. Tyndull and my- self can only bejmagined by your learned body when we saw Prof. Darwin deliberately tirat pocket the nently-folded bank-notes, and then the rolls of guineas, and then put Prof. T'yn- duil’s watch in bis fob, and try on Prof. Tyo- dall’s goloshes, and ndjust Prof. Tyndall's eye- glasses on bis nose, and test them by running over my band again, and put on my overcoat, and stulf the pockets thereof with the mort- gages, and deeds, and cheques, etc., which hud avcumulated, and then pass in the fossiis to me to be cashed, and, Hnully, with a delicate smile of condolence, skin out four deuces and a king.

In conclusion | would respectfully ber to withdraw my offer to muke at my own ex- ense a scientitic investization of the theory of rof.

"The report being received, the Royal Socie- ty was divided Into contesting factions, and a dozen different voluntary committees applied themselves to the arbitration of the points at issue. Some favored the opinion of Prof. Dar- win, others of Profs. Huxley and Tyndall. The question is not yet decided.
