Ex-President Arthur has returned j to New York after spending the summer at New Loudon. He is much j improved in health. One of the famous "306" who supported Gen. Grant at Chicago and obtained one of the Grant medals, died in Alabama recently. Senator voorhees says inatjomij Sherman is the most available man in j his party, and will defeat J. G. Blaine : for the nomination in 18S8. John* Estkx Cooke, the famous author, died at bis home in Virginia on the 27th iust. He was perhaps one of the most interesting writers of the war. Next comes a contest in the eighth circuit for the position now held by Judge Cothran. All the counties of; the circuit have a candidate, aud some of them two. President Cleveland and party have returned to the White House from their summer vacation in the mountains, and the President has gone down to hard work.

The State Bar Association of New J 'York has selected as the subject for j the next annual essay "the advisability | - ~ 1 , v,? ! kji uauv/iiai legislation kjii iLic auujctv of marriage and divorce in the United States." South Carolina is the only State in the Union which does not tolerate the abandonment of marriage j contract. mm The "City by the Sea" is going j ahead, and with the apparent deter-1 mination to overcome every obstacle. "What she needs now, and has a right to expect, is the commerce of the State and the svmnathv and fmnd will of our people. This she will doubtless get, and in a few years will surpass her former glory. Hexry Geoege, the well-known writer, whose letters to the Sunday Neics some time ago on the tariff' were read with so much interest by our people, has been nominated by the j loHnriner r>lato Mnnr fini? movnv i iWVVl o VIWv-? vi Al V IT A V4 14 X\S L UiUI V/ A I He feels confident that he will make a | saccessful race. Two other prominent men are in the field against him. Missouri furnishes a plea in behalf of high license which sincere temperance reformers can point to as a shin- i incr f riiirrmli nf vipvcc stnrl tnorhnrls. I A single year of high license in that State has decreased the number of saloons from 3,COO to 2,800, and increased the revenues from 8547,000 to $1,500,000. T. J. Cluveiuus, the murder of Fan-! nie Lillian Madison, has been refused a rehearinc- bv (hp Court of Anneals I of Virginia, and the case has been I sent back to the lower Court in order . that the prisoner may be sentenced. In an interview with a reporter lie threatened to disclosc some secrets before a great while. From what can be gathered it appears that it was a most brutal murder, and one for which he should suffer the severest, penalty. Joirx Waxamakek, the Philadelphia merchant, who has just returned from Europe, says that a study of the new ! system of railroad operations in Ger- j i many, where the roads are under Guv- ! ernment administration, convinces him ; i that the service of private corporations < is far preferable. There, if a traveler , complains he at once sets himself;1 against the Government. The trains!* neither start on time nor come in on ' ^ time, and with few exceptions the ex- j < press trains are as. slow a? the way ; ' trains on the American roads. A Washington correspondent says : ] that Secretary Lainarhas just rented ; 1 for thrae years, at $1,700 a year, a large, elegantly furnished house in Washington. It is near Thomas Circle, in the fashionable part of the city. People who believe the declarations of the Secretary'* friends that, he is not going to get married are wondering what he wants with such an establishment. The truth is that there will soon be a Mrs. Lamar to preside over the fine house that he has rented. He is to take possession of the house on Octaber 1, and the matrimonial event is likelv to occur soon. * It is said that Gen. Fierce Young, United States consul general to St. Petersburg, has it in contemplation to resign his position at the end of his three months' leave of absence. This will put at the d^posal of Mr. Bayard what is considered one of the most desirable places in the consular service. It will be well for all applicants to remember, however, that St. Peters-! . burg is the most expensive Court of i Europe, and not even with the valua- j ble assistance of an economical wife i and mother-in-law can one expect to 1 make much show upon the salary ; allowed by Uncle Sam. UHlo politicians say mc punucni i , campaign in that State will this \ear I be much more active and exciting than ! is usually the case in an off year. The j Republican gerrymander of the Con- i ( gressional districts was expected to i insure as certain sixteen out of the : twenty-one districts to that party, but j it is now seen that there is a strong , element of uncertainty in such calculations. It is conceded as probable that the Democrats may get several other districts. The fate of the State ticket is in doubt, because the precise measure of the Prohibition and labor i vote cannot t>e determined until tne day of election. Representative Warner, the great silver advocate in the House, has determined not to take a renomination. His district was so thoroughly cut up by the Republicans that it will be hopeless for any Democrat to expect an election there. At the recent convention of the Fifth Congressional District at Lancaster the convention adopted rules and regulations for the government of the primary. One of these excludes the colored men of the district from voting in the primary. Considerable dissatisfaction seems to exist on account of this, and at a meeting of the Rock Kill Club a resolution was adopted declaring it unjust to the colored men who have voted with the. Democrats for the past ten years, and regretting the action of the convention. The action, we believe, is a step in the wrong direction, and the tendency of it will be to drive colored men from the party. Those who have voted with the white people since 1S76 are as much entitled to vote iu a Con gressional primary as in a Slate election. It is certainly regretted that any such action was taken, and we believe it will result harmfully to the entire party. ? While ex-Governor St. John was in Chicago u few days ago he said: "I predict thai ihe Republican party will not carry ten States in 1S8S; and I j predict that in 1S92, if not before, the i iToniution party will give toe oia j mossback Bourbon Democracy tbe j worst licking it ever bad. In 1892 there will be a clean, square fight between the Prohibitionists and the Democracy. All tbe compromising parties and politicians will be out of the way, and the result will be decisive and overwhelming. The Democratic party will take a back seat until the mission of the Prohibition party has been accomplished, and it, like the Republican party of to-day and the old Whig party of the past, becomes cowardly and attempts to exist on its past record. Then it will go down and out, and the people will simply use the Democracy as a sort of check to the wheels of progress until they can organize a new line of political battle and kick it out Df power again, until some time in the future when it may be needed for the same purpose." Is a special cablegram to the New York Star, Thomas Power O'Connor eo \ro i ? s7 I am assured on good authority that there will be 110 war this year, at any rate in Europe, over the Eastern question.

Xo one here, except members >f ihe Government, knows exactly ivbat is transpiring. The English papers are represented by correspondents who give only the Anti-Russian side, leaving the public entirely in the :lark as to the other version. The reports havo spoken of a roptnre berer>rm TConlhnre nnrl fho l-inlwarian representative who waited on him. fvanlbars refused absolutely to make concessions on any point named in his circular, which remains the ultimatum )f the Czar, and required complete submission to Russia before he would consent to listen. This is the AntiRussian side. The other version is cleaned piecemeal by inquiries among leading diplomats, and varies widely From this statement. Russia, according to these sources, assumes the tone C ' " .* :>f a liberator, and plcJges herself to Europe not to occupy Bulgaria or nominate a candidate to succeed Prince Alexander, but desires that tho whole question be settled by the Powers. This intelligence is in sharp contrast to the information received reccntlv that Gen. Kaulbars had carte blanche tiom his Imperial master to summon troops to his aid, if Bulgaria should refuse the Russian terms. The latter report is still unshaken, and is generally believed to be correct. Teie following comment by the y&t's and Courier upon the term of the United States Court, which has just closed at Greenville, and which wus presided over by Judge Simonton, will be endorsed by the whole people of the State: The term of the United States District Court, vhich has just closed at Greenville, \ marked by the disposition of an amount of business that fully justified the expectations entertained in regard to the ability and energy of Judge Simonton in the discharge of the duties of the important position wmcti ne now noias. The Court was in session about three weeks. The whole number of cases tried was sixty-seven, an average of over three for each day for every day of the term. Thirty-two convictions were secured, and thirty-five accused persons were acquitted and dismissed to return in peace to their homes and occupations. The-record shows clearly that the interest of the Government, and the rights of the unfortunates who had exposed themselves to the penalties of the law, were alike guarded with jealous care. li v, guuu ijc^iuiuug uiai Simonton has made, and, while it will not surprise his friends, will gratify them and every citizen of the State who is concerned in having the laws of the Federal Government impartially and promptly administered. The retirement of Judge Bnan, after many years of faithful and honorable service in the most trying times, was regretted, we are sure, by all honest men in South Carolina. It is a aource of satisfaction to the same class ihat his place is now filled by a successor who commands iu equal degree their full respect and confidence. One of the most prominent Demo crats of the South, who has a national reputation and whose relations with the President are of a most intimate character, in speaking the other nay of the appointment of Matthews as recorder of deeds for the District of Columbia, said it was one of the vrisest and most sagacious acto of the President during bis whole administration. He said he could very well understand why the people of the District of Columbia did not like the appointment, but the effects were, of course, not to be ielt there. The fact that, with one exception, the solid Republican vote in the Senate was cast .against die confirmation of Matthews was proof that the leaders of that party were resolved to give a Democratic President no opportunity to conciliate the colored vote if they could help it. But the President had, in defiance of the Republican Senate, put Matthews into one of tne best offices in his gift, lie had shown to the colored people that Democrats of their race 'could and would be as well laken care of as Republicans, and the effect was greater because the appointment had been made despite Republican opposition. He said that the fact that Matthews, a colored Democrat, was holding a big office right at (he seat of Government was known to the colored people all attaw fl\A Crtnf li nn/1 t K o f ATTirl An/>rtc> VVC1 HHJ VJUUIM} Ullll L1IUI; Vx ? iUUiiVWO VI the profound impression which it had made upon them were very apparent.

E. Stone Wiggins, the great Canadian prophet, has issued the following address to the people of the United State?, in which he places himself as the great protector of property and human life, and boasts of his anccstrv. - l Lie says: The prediction published in the New York press, and asserted to be mine, that a great earthquake will devastate New Orleans, Galveston, and other Southern cities along and south of the thirtieth parallel, on Wednesday, the 29th instant, is a falsehood. It was originated here by their own correspondents and for their own purposes, I never received any reward except unstinted abuse for weather or other ; predictions, my sole object being to | protect public property and save j human life, and in this 1 have treated ! the United Statos, the home of my an-! cestors, the same as ray own country, j Two years ago I foresaw that ag eat j storm would occur in the North and ; South Atlantic from September 29 to October 1, 1886, and that an earthquake period would occur in America from August 25 to October 15, the greatest strain being on September 29, south of the thirtieth parallel of north latitude, and so made my report to the Canadian Government. This is the | sum and substance of my prediction j and of my knowledge on the subject, i and the newspaper talk of devastation : of States, swallowing up of cities, and of ruin generally, ha~s originated with the New York press, for their own ndvantage and to frighten religions and other lunatics throughout the j United States, at the same time abus-' ing me personally.

From the St. James Gazette. "As 'sitting in dbarna' is an extremely curious practice, writes a Hindoo, the leaders of this journal may like to knojv somethiug about it. TheBrahmans nave nowhere shown a more remarkable example of their cunning than in creating among their countrymen a belief that their persons were designed by (Jod to be under all circumstances inviolable; and that to deprive them of life or to hurt their persons, directly or indirectly, is a crime that admits of 1:0 expiation. On this persuasion is founded the practice of'sitting in dharna'. When a Brahman desires to gain some point which he has found it impossible to accomplish in any other way, he goes to the door or house of the person against whom his suit is directed, and there he sits down in dharna,with poison or a poniard or some other means of suicide in his hand, threatening to use it should his adversary attempt to molest or pass him. ThiSTnenace completely arrests him. The plaintiff now commences a fast, in which, accord ing to etiquette, ha must be accompanied bv the defendant;; and in this condition they both remain until the former obtains satisfaction. The plaintiff rarely fails of his object; for were the individual thus arrested to permit the Brahman to perish of hunger or should he drive him to make use of any of his instruments of mischief, the sin would lie upon his head forever. Nor is the practice confined to male Brahmans. Some years ago a Brahman widow at Benares had a law suit with her brother-in-law, which, in the first instance, went to arbitration. The suit involved a claim of property and a consideration of caste, the privileges ot wmcn ner antagonist declared she had forfeited. The decision, though favorable to her, did not altogether satisfy thp lady, who determined to carry the remaining points in dispute by "dharna. Accordingly she placed herself in the customary way at the door of her brotherin-law, who, apprehensive of her death, went with her to a temple, where they both made trial of their powers of abstinence for some^ time longer. Thirteen days elapsed when the defendant give in. lie agreed that if the widow could establish the validity of her claims ic caste by prevailing 011 some respectable Bralimans to eat dinner with her at her own cost, he would not only pay all the exDenses of the feast but her debts also. The conditions were accepted and fulfilled. But the brother-in-law refused to perform the latter part of the engagement, which brought the matter under official notice. Here is an older and a more striking example. The Government having imposed a house tax at Benares, the people, startled by the innovation, began to complain that they never heard of such a tax under the moguls; that their houses were their own; that the British rulers might next lay a tax 011 their wives and children. Representations were made to the. government at Calcutta, but in vain. Upon this the whole population of the city and its neighborhood determined to sit in dharna until their jrrievances should be redressed, some or tne leading Brahmans sent written handbills to the wards in Benares, and to some of the adjoining villages, briefly setting forth the provocation and the necessity of the measures they were about to adopt. They called on all lovers of their country and religion to join in theil* movement, and commanded, under bitter curses, every person who vpapi'vpH fhft summons to hand it to his next neighbor. Three days afterward about 300,000 persons left their houses, shut up their shops, suspended their farm work, forbode to light fires or dress victuals, and many of them : even to cat, and sat down with folded arms and drooping heads on the plain surrounding Benares. The local government was much perplexed. There was the chance that some of those strange people might 1 really perish, either from their obstino/?v or fVnm disease. while distress might ensue from the interruption of agricultural labor at the most critical time of the year. On the other hand, it was not expedient to yield to such a demand so urged. So they told the ringleaders, after some ineffectual rea- | soiling;, that if they chose to sit in dharna it was their own afl'air; that , the government would never yield to remonstrances so enforced, and that so long as they only injured themselves < and were peaceful in their behavior to others, the government would not j lnctuue wiui mcui. suuie nine however, a strong body of troops was I placed in the neighborhood, out of view. Soon the multitude began to grow very hungry, and a thunder t ~ ~ \ r mower maae very wee, coia ana uncomfortable. Some of the paity pro- 1 posed a change of operations?that a jeputation often thousand should be ;ent to address the governor-general at Calcutta personally. A minority, horoughlv tired of their situation, :ose to go home, but the remainder ] Jetermincd that all should go to the jovernor-general, every man at his )wn charge. So about fifteen thousand l Urahmaus assembled with such pro- ( risions as they could collect and be- \ jan their march. But dissensions < spread fast among them, and hunger < md fatigue told even on the most ob- \ -tinatc. In a few days they melted 1 3o\vn to to small a number that the 1 remainder were ashamed to proceed, rhen the ^supreme government wisely repealed the obnoxious tax, and thus jnded a disturbance which, if it had been harshly or injudiciously managed, might have set all India in a flame. Nowadays the practice of sitting in [lharna is mostly confined to the faqueers. These pious beggars arc : ~ J . *11 reiiiai htiuiY uuMiuau:, auu win nut , move from the door until their demands are complied with, threatening ( suicide or sell-torture. I remember a number of faqueers who, a few yearsago, sat round a huge fire, which they lighted at the door of a house in which a grand funeral was being celebrated, | threatening to put their arms into the flames if the present they demanded was denied them. Some of them did actually burn the ends of their fingers. At last the master of the house gave them the money and' got : rid of them. More Than Was Contracted For. .John A.
